helo can any one comfirm if the xda atom is quad band or only triband
i see ppl says it work on gsm 850 but in gsmarena says its only triband
its simliar to the htc touch says is triband but ppl says its quad band
can anyone comfirm is it works on 850
The O2 XDA Atom is available at a whopping cost of $950 (USD).

=============

From what I know, the Atom is Tri Band and lacks 850Mhz. Unless they released an updated version, they are all like that and there is none with 850.
I am sure that you can get service still, I know I can get GPRS and EDGE with AT&T but it is limited.
A lot of O2's phones lack 850, which is unfortunate. My Atom Life lacks 850 but has 1900 for 3G
and that makes up for the lack of 850 for the most part.

almost country use 850?? in indonesia gsm not use 850 maybe.

Confusion wid the GSM specs of the exec

guys i am smewat new to the terminology of GSM but could anyone tell me what exactly does UMTS mean.the specs of the exec says that it is GPS/GPRS 900/1800/1900 UMTS(2100) compatible. does this make it incompatible with normal 900/1800/1900 networks. mainly i am plannin to get one which i ll use in India where this model has not been yet launched. could smeone tell me if it would work there (it comes under the 900/1800/1900 GSM countries).
cheers
It is both GSM 900/1800/1900 AND WCDMA 2100, so it's a quad band phone and can be used with ANY of those four bands (three for GSM and one for WCDMA/UMTS).
In short, it will work in India!
Its already available in India officially from i-mate for Rs 65k and for Rs 55k from Heera Panna and other retailers.

HD2/Nexus One -difference in 3G frequences

I apologize if this was already discussed, but did anyone notice the difference in 3G bands between US spec HD2 and Nexus One.
Here are official specs from HTC.
HD2 - WCDMA/HSPA: 1700 MHz (AWS) / 2100 MHz
Nexus One - HSDPA/WCDMA: 900/AWS/2100 MHz
I've read here claims that US T-Mobile splits the uplink(1700)/downlink(2100). How does that fit into this difference in specs, both devices are released on T-Mobile.
Thanks

The answer is right in your post. 1700mhz = AWS.
So 900/AWS/2100 = 900/1700/2100
The tmobileUSA HD2 is dual-band UMTS while the Nexus is tri-band UMTS.
Thanks
That clears it up then.
Thanks

any way to find out what MHz your phone is working on

hi just wanted to know if you can find out what mhz that phone is running on and if it can but switched to select one over the other
the web site has
Network 4
Europe:
* HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
* GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Asia Pacific:
* HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
* GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
but i have also read that all vodaphone dhd dont run 850 , 1800 0r 1900
thanks

I think he means frequency of the signal rather than of the cpu
Different frequencies serve better for different uses. Low frequencies, such as 450 MHz NMT, serve very well for countryside coverage. GSM 900 (900 MHz) is a suitable solution for light urban coverage. GSM 1800 (1.8 GHz) starts to be limited by structural walls. UMTS, at 2.1 GHz is quite similar in coverage to GSM 1800.
Higher frequencies are a disadvantage when it comes to coverage, but it is a decided advantage when it comes to capacity.
Switching between these should be handled automatically - the device will select the frequency with the strongest signal if multiple frequencies are available in that cell, or alternatively, the frequency that has capacity for more users.
I don't think there's a way to manually switch between frequencies.
Not sure how it works overseas but here in the UK different frequency bands are reserved for carriers. For example, O2 and Vodafone (and their subsidiaries) both run on the 900MHz band, whilst T-Mobile and Orange run on the 1800MHz band.
The phone will still support the other frequencies, but only if sim-unlocked and a compatible network SIM used.
So if you had a voda DHD and unlocked it and put an Orange SIM in, then it would run on the 1800MHz band.
Obviously this only applies to 2.5G - not quite so up to speed on 3G frequencies.
If the band you require isnt supported by your model of DHD then there is no way to change it, as radio frequences are hard coded into the cpu chipset

Well, you can dial *#*#4636#*#* and select phone information. There you'll find the information you need.
About switching to a different band. Not possible. All you can do is prefer WCDMA or GSM. You can't force your phone to work on 1800 even if your operator supports both 900 and 1800. Usually they have the signaling channel on 900 for better coverage and use 1800 only when you are close enough to the base station, so you won't take precious 900 resources if making a call. WCDMA is very similar. If you are close enough the network prefers you being on the higher 3G frequencies, so 2G stays available for anyone who for some reason is unable to connect to the 3G.

As far as I know, excluding the US carrier specific variants, the unlocked HTC Ones comes in either a HSPA+ 850/900/1900/2100 MHz variant, or an HSPA + LTE 1800 (only) variant.

Is that from HTC's official website? the specs on its UK page don't have LTE at all listed for the unlocked device.
Mobicity's the only one at present selling an unbranded/unlocked LTE enabled variant:
Network Band: 4G/LTE 1800, GSM 850, GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900, 3G 850, 3G 900, 3G 1900, 3G 2100
So yeah, it's all a bit confusing at the moment. Damn expensive at mobicity, i must say.

what upsets me is that there's no unifying LTE handset... I don't want an american version from AT&T... I want an unlocked version that does away with the carrier garbage...
negrielectronics changed its pricing to $735.50
not sure about lte since they changed the ittle
I sorry i live in Dubai so we just got lte with 1800-2600 frequency.so does this phone have a different 3g variant and 4g or is there a phone with both in it. Sorry don't know much about networks.

HTC One updated frequency list

Hi guys! Thought I would put this here since I saw from the past few weeks about some people having signal issues with the HTC One.
Unfortunately HTC updated their HTC One page with the new frequency bands list.

Asia: 850/900/1900/2100 MHz with HSDPA up to 42 Mbps
Canada/ Latin America: 850/1900/2100 MHz up to HSDPA 42 Mbps
T-Mobile (US): 850/ AWS/1900/2100 MHz with HSDPA up to 42 Mbps
AT&T: 850/1900/2100 MHz with HSDPA up to 21 Mbps
Sprint: 1900/2100 MHz with HSDPA up to 14.4 Mbps
3G - CDMA:
800/1900 MHz for Sprint
4G - LTE:
Europe/ Middle East/ Africa: 800/1800/2600 MHz

To the australian people who preordered their phones from EU. It is indeed official now that 850mhz is not supported.
*Australian on the 850MHz carrier here*
On one hand, I'm glad HTC acknowledged this and I've have been put out of my misery. On the other, I want to do a facepalm at HTC.
I understand how 850MHz testing of the European model could have been deprioritised. And I still believe HTC should be supported for coming out with a great phone at a time of trouble (possibly as many articles on their profit report as phone reviews!), but boy are they making it hard for themselves. They are not a new company. What's different about this phone vs the other internationally available in different variants phones they've released?
I have a quiet chuckle every so often about the saga of getting this phone. Excitement, delay, delay, worry about 850MHz support, dispatch!, oh what it won't work?!?, return, wait for local launch, to be continued...
You wouldn't happen to know what type of NFC it has?
Looked at GSM arena, no where does it go in to any depth on the NFC...
Cheers,

I'm in the same position here, buggered cos i was so excited. Plus only being able to realise this in the last day or so, now i'm probably now at the end of a very long wait list on the Harvey Norman preorders.
The HTC Unlocked from the US site has the following information:
This HTC One® unlocked version comes with: 32GB of onboard memory and is SIM unlocked.
- HSPA/WCDMA: 850/1900/2100 MHz
- GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
- LTE: 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz (US)

From my understanding this works in Europe too, except for the LTE?
Frequencies:
900 / 1800 MHz GSM, GPRS, EDGE
2100 MHz UMTS, HSDPA, HSPA+, DC-HSPA+
900 / 1800 MHz LTE
As I pretty don't much care about 4G/LTE the US unlocked will work otherwise without any problems, right?
Yes you are correct!
Other thank the UK variant not having 850mhz HSDPA frequency all bands from 2g to HSPA should be compatible worldwide.

It has the NXP PN544 chip with its usual level of support it seems. Unlike the S4, it should therefore support Mifare tags without issues.
