[Q] Big Confusion ~ Bell/Virgin sgs frequencies - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys.

Yes it should work

the Canadian Virgin Mobiles uses 850/1900 just like Bell (since Virgin is owned by Bell in Canada)

They still have 900/2xxx functionality...

i9000m frequencies
850/900/1800/1900 - 2g gsm
850/1900/2100 - 3g+ wcdma
so as you see it will fully work there.

thanks guys..i appreciate it.

I9000T work with i9000 roms?

Hi all, I haven't seen any discussions regarding the Telstra Aus version of the galaxy. It is the i9000T running on wcdma 850mhz. Can the normal galaxy s roms run on this? Will the 850mhz band disappear?

It works without any problem on my i9000T. 850mhz also works well.

are you sure?
try disabling the 1900 WCDMA band, and see if the 850 WCDMA works properly.
it *SHOULD work... I've tested myself some i9000 roms on my i9000t and they run pretty good and without any problem. But be careful, not all are fully functional.
here's the one I'm using right now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843019 and its pretty fast...
EDIT: 850wcdma does work but you will find that on some roms there is a certain screen lag that makes it pretty much unusable...
Cheers!
3G work or not??
3G was a no go, since in my area there wasn't strong signal, but it works

Can it be used in the u.s?

I'm in the process of getting a Samsung Galxaxy s i9000 from Europe (a trade) and I would like to know if I could use it on T-Mobile or AT&t in the United States. Would I have to unlock it or is it already unlocked?? Would love to know as soon as possible... thanks...

You should be able to use it on att. Not sure though if even with the proper modem that you can enable 850hz band. Still has 1900 though so you should be good. As far as unlocked goes, depends if it's a carrier model or not.

I currently have T-Mobile so I was wondering if I could use it with T-Mobile. The internet speeds don't really matter much, I just want it to make and receive calls and texts.

You said internet speed doesn't matter much . Edge only I believe.

i9000 supports 3G bands 900/1900/2100
AT&T uses 850 and 1900. So you'll only get 3G on AT&T in 1900 MHz coverage areas.
TMobile uses AWS 3G bands (1700/2100 MHz). It requires BOTH to work on 3G at all, so it will only work on 2G/EDGE.
You could use a Galaxy S i9000T on the entire AT&T 3G coverage, as it supports 850/1900/2100 MHz.

Yes, and there are 2 types in Australia The GT-I9305 which is the one you can get in europe and is classified the International/Europe Version.. etc.....
And then..
You Have Telstra which brought out the GT-I9305T which is basically the same thing, I really dont think there is a difference, And IF there is a difference (a big IF) it maybe does not have the 2100mhz 3G frequency as telstra has shutdown that part of the 3G network in August.
But other then that it should be exactly the same as the I9305. Everything is compatible between the 2, Kernels, Firmware etccccc
Hope this helps.
Hmm - the service menu in my i9305T shows a choice of WCDMA 850, 900, 1800, 1900 and "IMT2000" - no 2100. Not sure whether that means much....

Htc one not working on 850 band??

Ordered a one on march 17 but now i am reading that some people in Australia can't get the phone to work on the 850 band....my network says the following ( Device must be compatible on LTE AWS (1700 MHz) or LTE 700 MHz bands, or UMTS/HSPA compatible on 850 and 1900 MHz bands. See your device user guide for information about network compatibility.) .... I wonder if i should just cancel....
This is for Bell mobility in Canada btw.
Thanks

Bump??

It's the EMEA model specifically that is causing troubles. The ASIA version is fine so it's not a problem with all of them.
It's been confirmed that 850 is not working now on multiple networks. while the australian network in question DOES work on its other bands (uses 850+2100 3G, 2100 is ok, 1800LTE is ok too) so definitely not any network blocking or whatever.
If you've ordered from Handtec/Clove/euro resellers, I would probably be very careful right now... if you've ordered locally or from US then you're probably fine.
Yeah i ordered from handtec.....should probably cancel my order i guess
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I'm having that issue. I got mine from handtec at first I saw the E and was like Wtf so I started playing with apn and the network modes I'm in fort Lauderdale Florida btw so by changing modes it connects to H or 3g but I noticed that after connecting to WiFi and leaving WiFi most of the time was going to Edge again. So today I try wcdma only and it's been connect it to H or 3 g since I did it earlier. I need more time to really confirm this tho.

[Q] sprint htc one m8 no 4g in france

hi everyone i'm not sure to be in the good place but i'm from france and i baught a sprint htc one m8 harman kardon edition with bad esn and it's root s'off bootloader unlocked and sim unlocked etc and i would like to know about using 4g or lte with it in france,is it possible?it only works with 3g h or gsm mode but when i select 4g or lte i have no signal ,can someone help me?is there a solution to make it work in france?
I believe you need to make sure the French frequencies support 4g Lte...I ran into similar situation when I tried to use my Sprint version in jamaica and read that 4g was only supported on certain frequencies which the phone doesn't have...hope that points you in the right direction...
Sent from my 831C using XDA Free mobile app
thanks
Sprint one m8: FDD 800/1900 MHz , TDD 2600 MHz and french frequencies are 800/1800/2600MHz so it should work with 800 and 2600MHz right?
Technically the 800 frequency tends to be for the voice/2g signals (which you are experiencing) and then the others depend on how the provider is using them specifically...hope that makes sense...probably incompatible frequency usage on the French providers end. Anyone correct me if I'm mistaken.
Sent from my 831C using XDA Free mobile app
Just did a search and found out Sprint phones specifically use the 1850-1900mhz frequencies for 4g Lte...and France uses 800 (voice/2g) and 2600 for lte...the majority of other European providers use the 1800mhz for their 4g Lte signal...does that help? maybe need to flash French provider software? Only idea I can think of.

thanks everyone!
my provider is free mobile and they use 2600MHz only for 4g lte , when i change my sku_id for 9 the 4g logo apear but it's only 3g so i have all the time the "4g" logo but no 4g in real!how do i flash the french provider?
i just wanna say that my problem is only for 4g data.Voice ,text message ,3g all works fine.
To flash a French provider Rom you'd have to search around on here or maybe in a local French forum?...that I can't help much with myself...and the frequency for the 4g being different explains why no 4g...that's usually what happens...can only get up to 3g speeds without messing with phone too much. Maybe local phone repair shop can do a flash/conversion for you.

if i flash a french provider rom i don't think the rom content that type of configuration/information about frequencies i think it's about anything else,if i erase totaly sprint settings i think it will work but i don't know how to do that,which file in the root do i need to modify.Because this is sprint who did his propoer configuration about frequencies for 4g
Does 4g Works for your HTC M8 Sprint
HI i want to know does 4g is working on your htc one m8?
