Hello everyone,
This is my first post and I was hoping you all may be able to help me wiht a concept I have for the Tytn II. Currently I am purchasing the Tytn II from Cincinnati Bell. This phone is identical to the AT&T Tilt. Its not the Euro version with the second camera. Cincinnati bell has informed me that this phone will not work on their 3G network because they are going to be using the 1700/2100 bands and the phone does not support the 1700 as it needs to support both bands. Athough AT&T states this phones works at 3G on their 1900 ban network.
So heres where it gets good. Cincinnati bell uses AT&T's network for roaming. Is it possible to use this phone at the 1900 ban on At&T network when i am raoming and receive the 3G speeds (providing I have a 3G sim card). As well is it possible to force the phone to use the AT&T network while I am here in cincinnati,OH instead of the Cincinnati bell network.
Hi,
I bought an x10 from 3 hong kong, fully unlocked. I brought it back to Canada and there's no 3G! I checked all the frequencies and should be all compatible, entered rogers APNs and still no 3G.
Is it possible to get the x10 to work on 3G on rogers?
No unfortunately. The X10 you got from Hong Kong is the international version and it does NOT have the correct 3G bands for Canada/US. You do get quad band GSM but you can only get EDGE. You would need the American version of the X10 in order to get 3G.
Yeah, tough luck. I'm still confused as why AT&T and T-mobile has different 3G bands. Rogers and AT&T use WCDMA 1900 MHz bands while T-mobile and what feels like the rest of the world (just kidding, but at least Europe too) uses WCDMA 2100.
Stop me if I'm way out of my league but my question is WHY?
And isn't it possible to just buy the phone from Rogers directly, cash?
Yea you can buy the phone from Rogers directly with cash but it is still locked. You need to get it unlocked before using it on another carrier.
Why do you need it unlocked if in Canada Rogers is the only one using that frequency?
that's the problem. i can't use rogers phones since i travel a lot. i have to buy a world phone of some sort.
I heard you can root your phone and change the frequencies. is that possible?
I was assuming Flamso might need it for AT&T or some other carrier. Also, it's not just Rogers that uses the frequence. We do have Telus and Bell now. Buy an X10, get it unlocked and use it on Telus or Bell.
Telus and Bell aren't CDMA?
I know Fido and Rogers are the same.
You shouldnt have a tough time selling that one here. Doesnt it support the aws band that wind mobile runs on? AWS 1700 i think

what color you have? I have a BNIB unlocked X10i white wanting to trade for a X10 locked to rogers
email me if interested
i have the luster white x10i from one of the ebay seller in HK, and it works with T-mobile USA 3G network. UMTS band is 900/1700/2100. Rogers are using 800/850/1900/2100. I dont think you could change the frequency as it is part of the hardware.
Is there a way you can boost edge speed? i can't load facebook or weather with edge. it always times
Cheapest Canadian X10 unlock: http://www.mobileincanada.com/?l=en&u=all&coupon=facebook $5 CAD
T-Mo US and AT&T use different frequencies because spectrum is regulated. Whoever has the deeper pockets can buy more of it.
T-Mobile & Wind Mobile use the same 3G frequency (Band IV 1,700 Mhz) whereas Rogers and AT&T use Band V 850 Mhz.
Telus and Bell Mobility are also now HSPA so you can use unlocked Rogers 3G devices on their network too.
Bell has a tool on their website where you enter in your IMEI and it'll tell you if it's compatible: http://www.bell.ca/support/PrsCSrvWls_GettingStartedGuide.page#4

the Hong Kong X10i version will support T-mobile USA 3G network. the UMTS bandwidth is 1/4/8 which is 900/1700/2100. I got my luster white from hong kong ebay seller, and it works with T-mobile USA 3G network. For X10a (american version) the UMTS bandwidth is 800/850/1900/2100.
so that's why they have x10i and x10a
hardware difference for the 3G network to link with.
x10a is designed for north america
x10i can link on at&t's 3G just because it match
Just sign up with WIND mobile and enjoy because the X10i is compatible with the AWS band (same for T-Mobile down south). But if you are out of their coverage area then there won't be any 3G service (falls back to GSM + EDGE).
The X10a from Rogers will work with Telus and Bell HSPA 3G networks once you have it unlocked.
it does not matter what kind of x10 firmware you have. if your phone is originally a x10a, it has att 3g bands that works with rogers. if you flashed it with x10i firmware, you can still use the 3g because flashing the firmware does not change the bands.
x10i will work with rogers but you only get edge aka 2g.
I know you can only use 2g in Tmobile network in US.
But if HSDPA+ is available can dell streak use that instead of 2g? or it's not compatible with HSDPA+ frequency?
NEED IN HELP~~
The Streak on O2 in the UK has HSDPA, can't speak for what you will get on TMobile but no reason why it should'nt work.
I'm trying to buy a AWS Dell Streak 5 from some guy online. The box says "GSM 850/900/1800/1900 HSDPA 850/ 900/1700/1900/2100" But yet he is only to pick up AT&T's 3G, and is unable to pick up T-Mobile's 3G. He said he bought it directly from Dell. Isn't HSDPA 850/ 900/1700/1900/2100 the AWS version?? Why would it be able to pick up AT&T's 3G instead? Did Dell goofed up on the box? I want to use it on T-Mobile's 3G.
the AWS model supports 900/1700/2100
the US model supports 850/1900/2100
for 3g
both models support 850/900/1800/1900 for 3g
check the infobox at Dell streak - xda wiki
there's no model that can do 850/900/1700/1900/2100 for 3g
likely if that's what it really says on the box it's an error.
Most likely if he bought it directly from Dell, then it would be the AT&T model, right? I've heard Dell doesn't sell the AWS version.
Dell still manufactures them in small quantities, but you cant buy them directly though dell.
The only reliable way of getting a new aws streak is though cincinnati bell, which only sells them locally
Would I be able to buy the Dell streak 5 from cincinnati bell without contract, just the phone by itself? Or do I have to be currently active with service
i believe you can buy them off contract, but you have to buy them in person/in the coverage area. They dont ship cross country, they check zip codes or something.
I dont actually live anywhere near their coverage area, so I'm working off secondhand info
I am wondering if anyone knows if the dell streak will work on mobilicity with no data? just regular 2G. I have a regular GSM Dell streak and was wondering if the voice calls are possibile on the AWS Band. just no data from what i understand.
Hi,
Mobilicity does not have a 2G GSM underlay network like Rogers or AT&T.
Mobilicity just runs straight 3G UMTS for both voice and data.
You need the AWS varient Streak for Mobilicity, even for just voice.
The only time Mobilicity uses GSM is if you are roaming outside the unlimited zone. Then your Mobilicity SIM card will connect you to Rogers' GSM network and you switch to prepaid service.
