Is there anyway to get Basebandswitcher V4 working on the Flipout? I have an UK Motorola Flipout and I live in the US. Because the 3G band frequency for my carrier (AT&T) is different from that of the UK I am unable to get 3G on my phone.
3G Cellular Bands
My Phone's: HSDPA 900 / 2100
AT&T: HSDPA 850 / 1900

Among those of you with a deap knowledge of the inner working of HTC phone for 3G networks.
Is HTC doing something to phones for each carrier to lock the phone to a specific carriers 3G network and no other.
I'm asking because I was talking with a freind of mine who was given a HD2 as a part of a promotion for use on AT&T 3G network (850/2100). He uses T-Mobile and tried to get it to work with his T-Mobile SIM with no success. He also told me he had a conversation with someone from HTC that told him that he would no beable to get his HD2 to work on T-Mobile because the hardware will not work with T-Mobiles 3G network (1700/2100).
If this is the case does anyone know if it changable, is it a Firmware issue that can be changed or is it like hard wired physically?
Then the question is if we are buying these phone, some through contracts others outright, do we want to told whos service we have to use!!
Lets have some good discussion...
there are billions of threads on this.
3g is radio/hardware dependent. he'll unfortunately be stuck on EDGE.
He will have no issues using the phone with T-mobile usa. He will not get 3G because of the bands. He will just have edge. But calls, mms, text, email, and internet will all function properly.
Clarify this please
I bought my HTC HD2 in USA (unlocked) and here in Peru, where I live, I cannot get it to work with 3G. If I lived in USA, is there a way to know with what carrier I would get 3G ?

So you are on Claro in Peru?
For 3G you need a phone with 3G 1900 support. If it is the T-Mobile version, that would have 3G on 1700/2100 bands which would be no good. If you got an AT&T handset (850/1900) it would work for 3G for you.
You need to understand what 3G support your version of the phone has. For example mine (Telstra Australia) is 850/2100 - which would not be able to pick up 3G in your network - however it works excellent with Telstra (850) in Australia and currently working well with StarHub (2100) in Singapore.
Your phone is quad band - but that is GSM quadband not 3G - it is 3G dual band and that is what is important for your connection.

Yeah ...bad news

Hi tallmantim ....
Thanks for your response. Yeah, today I did my homework and found that my HD2 has UMTS (HSDPA) 900 - 2100 bands, a fact that is not good because Claro and Movistar in Peru operated the 850 - 1900 bands for 3G.
Question: is there a HD2 version with 850 - 1900 band ????

No, but the Telstra HD2 will pick up the 850MHz signals where they exist. There is no HD2 with the 1900MHz UMTS band at the moment

Would you mind pointing me in the direction of those BILLIONS of threads.
I've done searchs on hardware dependents, radio/hardware dependents, 3G radio.
There are so many way that is topic could be listed.
I'm finding nothing but my thread now just as before.

Erm, so AT&T gives a phone, for promotion of their service, and at the same time they should allow you to use another network? You've got too much hope there...

exchange your phone for cash
exchange that cash for a phone that supports the correct bands.
Hi .. I was searching the forum because I want to purchase an HTC HD2 T9193 which, I know, has the 850 - 2100 Mhz band. But I found on the net a vendor who offers the HTC HD2 850 - 1900 Mhz band, is this right ?
On the other hand, if there is not such HD2 with 850 - 1900 Mhz band, the one with the 850 - 2100 band will pick up 3G in Canada ?
That model (850 / 1900) was supposed to come out (for AT&T most probably), but it has since been cancelled.
I'd be careful if I were you. You can find more info about it here
The Telstra model (T9193) supports 850 / 2100 MHz like you said. You'll need to check with your service provider if they support 850.

Yes. You'll need to check if ATT supports the 850mhz band IN YOUR AREA.
I'm in a North Shore Suburb of Chicago area and have excellent reception with my T9193 in the area. There are 3 dead zones I've found so far that repeatedly drops calls using the HD2's 850mhz band exclusively. Other unlocked phones I've previously owned that used the 1900mhz band exclusively did NOT drop calls in these areas however. Other than that, reception has been great. It's been reported that ATT is "supposedly" moving their entire network to the 850mhz band exclusively by end of 2010. I'm doubtful they are on target for this date given the number of cities still without any 850mhz support.
T9193
Hi guys ...thanks for your responses. Well, I know that the most important service providers in Canada (Rogers, Telus, Fido) transmit 3G in the 850 - 1900 mhz band. I suppose I will not have problems whether I use the T9193
hey fellas.
let me explain a bit.
i have a optus galaxy S, but i am with telstra.
as far as i know optus 3G is 900mhz ( or whatever it is, 900 something )
and telstra is 850, therefore telstra 3G wont work.
i put my mates optus card in my phone last night and it worked fine, 3G all the way.
is it somehow possible for me to get 3G on telstra? a diffrent baseband thing or something?
thanks fellas! really really hope someone can help me out here.
optus is 900/2100 and telstra is 850/2100

Your obviously near a 2100Mhz enabled tower, but, if you roam out of the 2100Mhz range (mainly capital cities and large regional cities) you'll only get a 2G signal on your phone with the Telstra SIM.
Your Optus phone is hardware set at 900/2100, you can not access the 850Mhz 3G band.
I don't think Optus had their own version of Galaxy S. It should be the international version.
GSMarena shows the specs as:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 900 / 1900 / 2100
Seems like there is no 3G for 850?
Telstra has their own I9000:

Try this and see if it works:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893082
Edit: I highly doubt if it'll work, since I can't see any documentation of a stock SGS being able to do 850MHz and HSPA+ (which NextG runs on) at all. It seems, as in most cases, Telstra gets different phones that runs only on their network.
If you enter the correct Telstra apn details you should be able to get 3g 2100MHz coverage but you will not get NextG 850MHz coverage. It is harware/radio related and flashing a 850MHz firmare like that used by the I9000T or the I9000M will not change anything.
If you need Telstra's or any other Aus provider settings you can find them here: http://ausdroid.net/apns/
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
After further reading it seems sxi200 is correct, the radio on the normal I9000 doesn't have the required hardware to connect to the 850MHz band. Earlier I was thinking the phone would all have the same radio that covers all bands but has the 850MHz band locked out.
This might interest you, but when the time comes you probably would already have a new handset then.

Hi,
I'm from Switzerland and I've to buy a new phone for my father that lives in argentina... the problem is that here the 3g frequencies standard for phones are 900 & 2100...
What are in argentina, I've seen that are 850 and 1900....
The only phone I've found for acceptable price is the samsung galaxy S that has 900/1900/2100 (no 850mhz!!!)... will this phone work???
last question is... if i've only quadband gsm and 900/2100 3g can I use internet also with slow velocity?
help please
nothing for now?
Motorola Defy ?
3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100
HSDPA 1700 / 2100 or HSDPA 850 / 1900
Have a look at GSMArena Phone Finder - here you can tick the frequencies you like. The only phones that offer quadband UMTS for now are latest Nokias (for example C7, E6, X3-02) and Samsung Galaxy SII. If you buy a quadband GSM and 900/2100 UMTS phone you would be able to use only GSM in Argentina.
I got an unlocked t-mobile defy in Dominican Republic and could not use the 3G connecition (only gsm and edge)...
btw, Claro Dominicana uses the 3G UMTS/HSDPA service in the 850 MHz band...
Theres a way to get 3G working on the 850mhz band??
