Is there a way to know which bands are usable on my phone? - XPERIA X8 General

Is there some app, a command, some setting, something?

have you ever tried look at yours mobile manual or search in googles fot its specs??

Thx for the crappy answer.
If i change my firmware or baseband those options change. I want to know the actual bands my phone can operate.

It don't change. If you have E15i you must flash E15i baseband and if you have E15a you must flash E15a baseband
E15i : UMTS HSPA 900 (Band VIII), 2100 (Band I)
GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900
E15a: UMTS HSPA 850 (Band V), 1900 (Band II), 2100 (Band I)
GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900

If not, where can i find e15a baseband?

It is same E15i = X8i and E15a = X8a

Using just one 3G frequency?

Hi, Im planning to buy an LG Optimus L7 II Dual P715, which is listed as having the following 3g frequencies: HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
The issue is that I live in Argentina and I think that we have the following freqs: UMTS 850, UMTS 1900.
I know that this sounds like a model specific, but my real question is if just having one of the required frequencies (850) should work fine here? Im from IT, but I do not know nothing from networks, cell radio frequencies, etc. Ive searched the forum for similar questions and couldnt find anything either.
If there is someone knowledgeable from here, Im planning to use the phone dual sim capabilities with Personal and Movistar.
Thanks!
Ariel
just a small clarification, the cell phone that I intend to buy has the following frequencies: HSDPA 900 / 1900 / 2100
And here in Argentina we have: UMTS 850, UMTS 1900.
So the only frequency that I would be able to use would be: 1900, would this be enough?
Thanks.

It depends on which company you have your phone and where you live. (UMTS = 3G // HSDPA = H (3,5G)
for example
3G BANDS IN ARGENTINA:
AMBA:
- Personal: 850 y 1900 MHz.
- Movistar: 850 MHz.
- Claro: 1900 MHz.
NORTE:
- Claro: 850 y 1900 MHz.
- Movistar: 1900 MHz.
- Personal: 850 y 1900 MHz.
SUR:
- Claro: 850 y 1900 MHz.
- Movistar: 850 y 1900 MHz.
- Personal: 1900 MHz.
good luck
ok, thanks for the reply... so it wont work, I live in AMBA and will use it with Personal + Movistar.
THanks!

It depends on a few things. If the carrier uses one frequency for upstream data and one frequency for downstream data, it won't work. But even if you can only use 1900 MHz, you'll be without data in areas that use only 850 MHz.

I know to many this is a stupid question but I always buy phones from carriers, never bought an unlocked phone. So...here goes..
Which version is best for Tmobile US LTE and HSPA+?
So, this phone will basically only work on ATT and Tmobile in the US?
Also, if you buy unlocked from Sony and activate on Tmobile and Sony releases an update do you get it directly or have to wait on Tmobile to release it as you would if you got it from Tmobile and not Sony?

C6903 will work for T-Mobile US on HSPA+ and LTE.
C6916 will be T-Mobile US's version.
C6906 works best with AT&T's HSPA+ and LTE.

Hi,
for anyone that is interested THIS wikipedia page lists the majority of carriers worldwide as far as I can tell. Using this information and the information droid102 has posted should answer most questions regarding which phone for which carrier.

Every phone support 3G
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Free mobile app
All have quad band 2G
D6603, D6633, D6643, D6616 have penta-band 3G.
D6653 and chinese models (L55t, L55u) only have quad band 3G(1/2/5/8), missing the AWS 1700mhz band 4.
LTE, you'll have to look at your network and see which bands are more important and are supported
The 6603 has more bands than this! For LTE that is.

(if you are saying 4G = LTE, then yes)
but LTE is a lot more fragmented than 3G (penta band will cover almost all networks), 2G (quad band will cover almost all networks)
that's why it makes sense to say: quad-band 2G & penta-band 3G support = cover most people

Does'n it affect anything else?, I know the bands are hardware related, so it could be nice to flash a 6603 rom. I'll try that. thanks :good:

NO, bands are not unlockable, they are HARDWARE, so, wichever rom that you flash, they will keep you the same bands.

I don't see why not.
D6603 and D6653 have exactly the same hardware. Bands restriction can be lifted if those restrictions are by software.
Edit:
Flashing another ROM might not lift bands restriction, but manually editing system props might do the trick.
Have a read of the link I posted.
