S730 for the US 3G quad band, will present S730 be upgradeable ?

I read that the official release of the S730 for the US will be 3G quad band.
I have a S730 thats is only for 2100. Will be the implementation of the other frequencies be software or hardware based ?
If it's SW would it be possible for my phone to work in quad band ?
Any ideas ?

If they included the radio for the other frequencies than a software flash should make it work, but I doubt they put the radios in for our frequencies here. I would be interested in knowing as well, but we shall see as the time gets closer

This was linked in another post. So their choices are clear, hopefully they chose to use the chip that supports all the freqs; but I doubt it, since the model IDs are different: WING220 (the EU version we all have) and the WING200 (the North American model).
Now let's see someone get the TV out working.

Seriously, we will see if writing NV item 0148 can also fix this issue.

Adding LTE bands to Huawei Honor 4X (Che2-UL00)

Hi,
First of all, I don't know if Kirin processors support more bands than it's actually claimed to, but considering the fact that most (if not all) of Huawei Honor 4X versions (Che2-XXXX) have the same hardware configuration, but different bands compatibility, it might have some software imposed restrictions just like Qualcomm devices have, in which case I'm interested if someone managed to add more bands (specifically LTE800 MHz, B20).
On the internet there is a tutorial for Honor X1 7D-503L, but it's not well written and I can't even understand the software used because it's in Chinese. Also, in Balong Debugging mode my phone shows up in Device Manager using some COM16-21 ports which that program doesn't even have.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers!

Hello, I already bought a Huawei Honor 4X (in fact a friend of mine bought it in China) but unfortunately it does not support band 4 (used in Argentina). I was wondering if it is possible to add more bands to this phone model by soft.
Thanks in advance,
Fernando

Guys, its not software, its hardware thing. You just cant add bands!

If not, how come devices with Qualcomm modems become compatible with previously unsupported bands? I know that in most cases you can't make a phone work in TDD if its hardware only supports FDD, but when the same phone, with the same hardware specs, comes with different frequencies support in different areas of the world, then some restrictions must have been made by software. It very possible to make a phone that is compatible with a certain band not to show it when scanning for it.
Cheers! :highfive:
PS Here is how you can add Unicom China LTE bands to a TDD phone: oiostore.blogspot.com/2014/11/how-to-unlock-fdd-lte-4g-band-support.html

may be debranding can unlock bands

NEM-L51 in europe - LTE 800mhz B20 and 3g 900mhz ?

Hello.
Here is my situation : I just bought a honor 5c in france, from a french vendor.
To my surprise, I received a NEL-L51. Wich I thought was a chinese model that does not support every french frequency. According frequencycheck, or every source I could find over the net, it does NOT have B20 LTE and 3G 900mhz.
However, the seller I bought it from (FNAC) is not a small dodgy reseller. I don't think they would be selling something else than the official model for french market. And It seems that the NEM-L51 the model that is sold everywhere in france.
So I'm trying to understand. Is there a EU version NEM-L51 and a chinese one, with different frequency support ? Did Honor somehow add missing bands to NEM-L51 and stopped selling other models ? Are online specs somehow wrong ?
Eventually, how could I tell wich frequency the phone actually support ?
thanks in advance.

Please confirm which frequencies the 4X (global) has?

Hello, my Redmi 3S couldn't get 4G in Japan, while another Android did. From what i captured, the 2100mhz frequencies was the difference. Though i may be mistaking. So which frequencies does the 4X global version has?

Try using this? This worked fine for me

EDIT:
Found this on GSMArena
not sure which model this is though

Your info applies to the versions made for China, Malaysia, Pakistan and not "Global Version".
The global version is advertised with the following LTE frequencies: 800/850/900/1700/1800/2100/2300/2600MHz

Whatever it's advertised with, it may come with different features.. The Redmi 5 was advertised with NFC and in the end doesn't have it! I checked that website & it says YES i should get 4G in Japan with Docomo for both 3S & 4X.. So this is not accurate for me!

Question SM-G998W dual frequency GPS?

Can anyone with the SM-G998W model (Canada) tell me if it's supposed to have dual frequency GPS? Mine doesn't, and also seems to have a very limited number of satellites supported.

Specs say, it has GPS with A-GPS, GLONASS, BDS, GALILEO.
That's it.

As far as the specs go, I'm not seeing any BD satellites. And I don't think the specs would specifically mention dual frequency GPS.

I'll answer my own question. Yes, Canadian version (SM-G998W) does have a dual frequency GPS chip in it. Seeing both L1 and L5 satellite frequencies.
