I just bought a singapore-configured omnia and i can only get it to connect to edge here despite being in a known 3g network... In the connection manager i only have options for "cellular line" and "cellular line (gprs)" (as well as haynes and bluetooth etc), but no "cellular line (gprs, 3g)" as I do on my other phone...
Any suggestions as to how i might get it to recognize the 3g in my area? (rogers/at&t).
Thanks!
if i'm not mistaken i900 has 3G but only in the 2100 band, maybe you can check with your operator what 3G band they are using...
I believe rogers runs their 3g on 1900 and there is no option for 2100 on the phone, only 850/1900 and 900/1800...

what you are saying is the GSM band, what I meant was the UMTS band which is 2100 for the i780
I have no option for UMTS in the phone ;\ I believe rogers runs on 2100 also but i'd have to check my other phone... is there somewhere where 3g/umts could be disabled on the phone? The specs say that it supports tri-band and umts.
edit: just checked the rogers phone, under settings -> phone i have a seperate tab for "band" wherein i can choose the gms/umts band "gsm(900+1800)+umts(2100)" etc but on the omnia there is nothing of the sort.
is it possible that the korean version of the phone somehow has umts disabled?

try under the MORE tab in phone settings, frequency in BAND SELECTION should be set to automatic.
This is a big mystery to which there is no real answer.
I have a I900 as well, but I do not have 3G/WCDMA in the US via AT&T which uses 850/1900 bands (which I believe is what Rogers and Fido use).
Here are some interesting bits:
- The I907 is a North American version that supports 3G on 850 and 1900.
- No one to my knowledge has seen any different hardware parts related to the Cell in the I907 vs the I900. The radio in both supports 8 of the UMTS bands that have been proposed (only 4 are in common use, and one of those is only in Japan). The cell antenae of the I900 are designed for optimal gain in the 850/1900 bands.
The Radio is idential to that of the Diamond, Touch Pro, G1, Kaiser, Touch, Touch HD and anything else using the 7201A or 7200 chipset. The I900 and I907 do not use this chipset, but it uses the same radio hardware.
No one was able to get the EU Diamond to use the 850/1900 GSM band, and in fact the US Diamond has the same radio Firmware as the EU diamond.
I was confident that if anyone could figure out how to make this work, it would be people at XDA on an HTC device (caveat - there are a lot of europeans here who don't care about 3G in north America, so I may have been wrong there)
Where does it say tri band UMTS on your phone?
I just upped the UK t-mobile rom into the phone and surprise, the profiles for singapore internet are still in the phone... HOW is this possible on a full rom (pda + phone) flash???
anyways, looks like the umts spectrums we use are locked in the firmware for the phone, despite the radio being able to use it ;\

Hi All,
Currently released version of Samsung Omnia i900 does not support UMTS 850/1900, which are north american 3G frequencies, according to official Samsung documentation, as well as FCC approval docs. However it has been recently established the radio chip does support those frequencies, and they are locked in the firmware only. Here is the evidence to support this claim:
This is the official FCC documentation for i900 certification:
https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas...me=N&application_id=476604&fcc_id='A3LSGHI900
On the page 4 of the "Internal Photos" document you can clearly identify the radio chip - it's Qualcomm RTR6285 and according to Qualcomm:
"Support for Eight UMTS Bands, Four EGPRS Bands, Triple-Band Receive Diversity and GPS Integrated into Power-Optimized RTR6285 Device": http://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2006/060213_worlds_first_single.html
So, it's only as matter of unlocking those frequencies in the current firmware. Samsung made our job a little easier, by recently making a public release of new ROM with updated firmware, so we won't have to dump it ourselves: http://www.samsungmobile.com/promotion/omnia/sg/sub02_xp.jsp#
I have limited free time and limited experience with reversing PDA firmware, to be able to achieve this by myself - please help.

There are many Roms Available on Modaco
www.
It seems like there are at least four places in which firmware lives:
- "Phone" (usually called Radio)
- "PDA" (the rest of the ROM)
- "CSC" (seems to be for branding. I.e. TMobile has a special .csc file as compared to stock ROMS with similar firmware)
- GSM settings, accessible through dialing obscure number on the Phone. Search Modaco for a list, people seem to find new ones every day. Some of these numbers just effect the ROM settings, but some seems a little more powerful.
- In some of the recent Roms there is a Band Tab in the phone settings, but it only lists "Auto", "850/1900", "900/1800" and "WCDMA". WCDMA is 2100 in the rom I have installed (Signapore PDA with an "Open Market" Phone (XXHI2) )
mine, with the t-mobile rom, only shows 800/1900 as an option in band selection ;\

I am in Canada and one of our carriers Telus just released the TouchPro 2
telus is a CDMA carrier, however, released the device as a world phone, quad band GSM and UMTS 2100 3G.
I am new to the GSM world and would like to understand better.
Telus and another carrier, bell mobility are building a 3G+ network that they plan to fire up later this year, the CDMA network will stay for a while and HSPA+ will be an overlay network with no GSM support.
Telus and bell plan to use UMTS 850/1900 bands.
When a company like HTC makes a phone, are the UMTS radio's hardware or software?
Is it possible for a OEM working with a carrier to hide UMTS 850/1900 bands or install 850/1900 bands in a new ROM update, say Windows 6.5 ROM?
It does not make sense to me for OEM's to make multiple versions of same phone, I understand each carrier has cosmetic outer requests, I am thinking of the core inside build.
It would be nice to have both networks in case the initial network build out for HSPA+ has issues.
Help!!
UMTS Radio is hadrware.
GSM/WCDMA(or UMTS, if you will) basebands are all hardware as the last poster noted. However, at the request of a carrier, one of the radios in a dual mode CDMA/GSM device can be disabled(as is the case with the dual mode CDMA/GSM version of the Touch Pro2 headed to Sprint here in the US). It is also [theoretically] possible to re-enable the GSM radio in one of the dual mode versions of the Touch Pro2.
On a side note, I wish the CDMA carriers here in the US would transition to GSM technology. I know Verizon will be conducting LTE trials late this year and early next year so that's a plus. It would be nice to transition to LTE, as well, or at least HSPA+....
EDIT: Actually, many OEMs make multiple versions of the same model device. The Touch Pro2 has numerous variants for each carrier which will sell it.
Well, in this case it's a different build from other Pro2's as it has cdma and therefore a different processor.
As for what it is truly capable of I don't know. Carriers have blocked out hardware functionality through software in the past (i.e. certain famous cases of phones with GPS having to wait a long time before a ROM that would let them take advantage of the GPS).
So maybe it's possible. I don't know if it is in this specific case, someone more familiar with the specific hardware and stuff will probably have to weigh in for a definite conclusion.
Hope so though...
UMTS Bands
Wow,
Thank You for the prompt replies.
I think the Telus TouchPro 2 is the same build as Sprint with Telus customization.
I understand that the hardware radio must be present for UMTS 850/1900 to work.
I am not too concerned about the GSM radio(s), just the UMTS radio(s).
According to the spec, it only has 2100 UMTS band
If Telus and likely Sprint have disabled the radio, is it possible to find out if indead the radio would support UMTS 850/1900 and could a cooked ROM enable those above bands?
seems I responded more or less at the same time as jaekidd
anyways...
according to the msm7600 spec sheet it can have the following umts combinations:
2100
1900+850
2100+800
2100+1700+800
2100+1900+850
Now I personally have no idea how one could check to see what options the installed hardware has and whether they are blocking something.
no idea if a new ROM could unlock those frequencies should they be present or how easy it would be to make a ROM to unlock them (they might need a ROM for a device with those features unlocked on that chipset from which to rip the necessary files/drivers for all I know)
And for the record, I think it might be more appropriate to say that the Sprint version is the Telus version with Sprint custommization (after all, the Telus version has come out first), rather than the other way around
and for the record the msm7200 specs sheet says it is capable of the same combinations but personally I can only remember dual band hspa in HTC's phones (the msm7200a sheet doesn't mention the combinations, just the individual bands)

HTC FUZE (AT&T's Touch Pro) has 850, 1900, and 2100 and I assume AT&T's Touch Pro 2 will, too.
Didn't know that, just the question remians of when AT&T will get theirs out to market.
Does any body know if it is possible and if so how to enable the HSPA: 850/1900 band on a Global (GSM/CDMA) Version of the TP2.
It already has the HSPA: 2100 enabled... so maybe someone RF inclined could shed some light on this question.
Thanks
I dont believe it has the hardware to do it. It is not a software tweak.
That is why so many people waited for the ATT version to come out. There is an Australian version that works on one of the bands but not both.
Sorry to say that I think you are wrong about the Hardware reason...
Apparently the Pro2 has the chip installed, but it's locked down some how. That info has been floating around from an inside source at Telus. they say it actually has 850/1900/2100 UTMS bands but just got "locked" by Telus.
Also sites like Engaget has long posted some HTC FCC info proving that; http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/htc-passes-cdma-gsm-hybrid-touch-pro2-through-the-fcc/
Also The TP2 uses Qualcomm's MSM7600. The specs for that processor allow two major sets of radio interfaces, only one of which supports CDMA 800 and 1900. That major set has two variants that support HSPA: 2100+800 or 2100+1900+850.
So the question is; is there anyone with the proper knowledge that can tell what is onboard the TELUS TP2 and if it has infact the variant that supports the North American frequencies, how do we enable it?
Thanks for posting with FACTS and not Thoughts as this is the only way we will get a valid answer to this question.
Hmm this is definitely an interesting idea. I'd love to have the front facing camera of the Global Version, but I still need 850/1900 UMTS
850/1900 WCDMA on Global version
Gentlemen:
While the chipset has the various frequency capabilities, it is the tuning of the antannae that determines which frequencies are recieveable , ie, turned on, in the various versions. The AT&T version has a different tuning of the antannae than the global versions.
While theoretically possible, the anatanne is part of the main board and must be physically removed and replaced. I have not been able to find a universal antannae that could be resoldered to the board, if one was brave enough to give it a try.
there is software changes to the chipset controller required as well.
I think it is pretty impractical and likely impossible to do outside of have a new board installed with the properly tuned antannae to make it work. I have researched this for some time now, in an attempt to be able to use the EU versions here in NA. I travel internationally a lot, to Asia and EU, and need the 2100 band, so that has been my motivation.
There may be someone else out there who has different information, but this is what I have learned in digging through the available data for the past 3-4 years of various HTC devices and their variants.
Hope this helps,
MWS
I have been seaching thoroughly online for somewhere to purchase either the Samsung Omnia 7 (not Focus), HTC HD7 or Dell Venue Pro from an online retailer with bands that are compatible with AT&T/Telus/Bell/Telstra.
The bands required are:
HSPA/WCDMA:
850/1900 Mhz
Quad Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE:
850/900/1800/1900 Mhz
So far I haven't had any luck in my search and assume they just aren't available YET. My current phone the HD2 has pushed my tolerance to it's limit and I refuse to do yet another hard reset so hoping I can just get a new phone. So if anyone knows where I can find what I'm looking for it would be very appreciated!
http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/11/windows-phone-7-handsets-the-tale-of-the-tape/
Look there for handset compatibility.
Unfortunately for you, the only phones with North American 3G bands are LG Optimus 7, HTC Surround, LG Quantum (I think...on Bell), and Samsung Focus. The rest are either only support T-Mobile/WIND frequencies, or are European 3G dualbands. Sad, isn't it? I wanted to get the Omnia 7 as well...

True but I'm expecting for the other bands variants to show up on some places around the net. I own the HD2 and am using it with 3G on Telus because I bought the Telstra variant which shares the same bands. Regardless of the fact it never came to AT&T/Bell/Telus. There will always be models with different bands so essentially I'm trying to find those but just not familiar with the sources.

Hi all this is my first post in regards to the galaxy gio in my case the (GT-S5660V) and I was just wondering what the difference between the models are , my house mate just got a new phone yesterday and i have rooted it and installed cwm , all good , then i tried to flash cm7 and got nowhere phone locked up couldn't restore backup :-( , using odin i flashed a rooted stock firmware for the GT-S5660M and it seemed to work , yayz , anyone else found these issues ?
You should have made a backup of that stock 5660V ROM...
Here's what we know about the different Gio models out there:
GT-S5660: Europe and Asia. HSPA (7.2Mbps) 900/2100 MHz, quad-band GSM. Qualcomm MSM7227 SoC. Atheros AR6003 wifi chip. 262k color TFT LCD.
GT-S5660M: Canada. Sold in Canada by Bell Mobility and its subsidiaries Virgin Mobile Canada, and Solo. Not sold in the US, though once unlocked it is compatible with AT&T 3G.
HSPA 850/1900 MHz, quad-band GSM. Radio files (what's referred by Odin as the AMSS image) are incompatible with the GT-S5660.
Stock ROM in English, French and Korean (!). Also lacks the FM Radio software for some reason.
GT-S5660L: Latin America. With what we know so far, it seems identical to the 5660M except for the Spanish (and English?) ROM instead.
GT-S5660V: Australia. HSPA 900/2100 MHz, quad-band GSM.
English ROM, Chinese IME included.
SHW-M290S (Official Samsung website, in Korean): Korea - SK Telecom. This one has a number of additional differences, such as a DMB TV tuner. The wifi chip is reported to be a Broadcom 4329. There is also a white version I'm not aware exists elsewhere. 16M color LCD. WCDMA and GSM radio, unspecified bands.
SHW-M290K (Official Samsung website, in Korean): Korea - KT Mobile. WCDMA and GSM radio, unspecified bands. 65k color LCD. Like the 290S, available in "Dark Silver" (which looking at the pictures is the standard 5660 color worldwide) and "Silver White".
SCH-I569 (Official Samsung website, in simplified Chinese.): China. This is a CDMA version, (obviously) with a different and unspecified radio. Apparently the remainder of the hardware is identical to that of the 5660. (I speak neither Mandarin nor Cantonese.)
SCH-R680 (Samsung Repp): United States - U.S. Cellular. CDMA EV-DO 800/1900 MHz. Turns out there is a US variant of the Gio after all.
Is available only in "Wine Red" color, dark red screen bezel and matching battery door with U.S. Cellular logo printed on it, light grey frame.
Runs a vanilla Android ROM, without Touchwiz.
The Samsung US website mentions a generic CDMA variant, but I'm not even sure if it's ever been sold... It has a different screenshot than the U.S. Cellular variant page, and the gallery shows an unbranded battery door.

Thnx for the reply dude , i got it working again , lolz , i got it working with GT-S5660M , and GT-S5660 roms the only backup i have of ther original rom is a nandroid backup , which i will post if anyone wants it
Well, if you don't mind trying to restore the nandroid backup and reading on how to make an Odin flashable backup in my thread about partition mapping you might be able to help a fellow 5660V user someday.
Is there a Gio version that hase a working GPS? (stock rom/costum rom)
i've had no issues with the gps at all on any stock or custom rom , lolz , edit the gps.conf file to pick up gps faster in your location if u need to , theres a thread on it in the dev section , msg me if you still have any questions

Darkshado, do you happen to know if the hardware in S5660 and S5660M are identical or different? I ask this because the 3G bands are different.
Thank you Darkshado for your time
As far as I can tell, aside from the cellular radio, they're pretty much identical.
The only way to really compare them would be to take a bunch of macro shots (and maybe some with a microscopic photography setup) and look at component model numbers.
I can tell you the boards on the 5660M are only numbered GT-S5660. I have some so-so quality photos where a few things are legible, but I can't upload them right now.
(I found a service guide with disassembly instructions in some seedy, remote corner of the web that made things much easier.)
glad i saw this thread, very informative!
i just bought myself an Aussie model V this evening, was going to get a galaxy mini but for the extra $20 the better specs won! Have been reading up on how to root, cwm and what roms are available.
Is there any difference in software for these models that I should avoid? (ie any roms that will screw my 3g or any hardware)
Cheers
Hi. I've got a s5660v too, but i live in italy, so it could be different. I had no problem flashing cyanogenmod 7.2, and it's working great apart form the fact that google maps v6 doesn't work, but also other devices, like the ace, have the same issue, so it should be fixed soon. Have you tried to flash a stock rom? i mean, like the ones from samfirmware??? Just curious...
thanks, a big dude is finally solved
Hello guys:
I am new in XDA.
This post help me to solve a big dude about my Gio.
I live in Panama and purchase mi gio in a cellphone shop. the phone works fine but i not purchase data to probe the fast data connection. Later when i add a data plan the phone only connect in edge, but i think is normal.
In Panama recent time improve the 4g data service but my phone only run in edge.
Investigating in my Gio the label say the model is s5660 and for my surprise the band of 3g is 900/2100 when in Panama the band is 850.
My phone never take 4g speed in Panama :-(
Ok... I took my phone to experiment with custom ROMS
Little bump: discovered another variant, the SCH-R680 and updated my main post in this thread.
In Belgium there's a white one to that's beeing sold...
but i don't know what model it is...
could that give a problem for flashing?
a friend of mine asked me to flash it.
It's a regular ol' GT-S5660. Europe. As in my main post in this thread.
can we flash asia firmware for s5660 into s5660V model ?
Please advice,thank you .
GT-S5660: Europe and Asia. HSPA (7.2Mbps) 900/2100 MHz, quad-band GSM. Qualcomm MSM7227 SoC. Atheros AR6003 wifi chip. 262k color TFT LCD.
GT-S5660V: Australia. HSPA 900/2100 MHz, quad-band GSM
I think so, but don't flash GT-S5660 roms with ODIN, or decompile the file, delete amss and compile again. flashing flashable .zip's via recovery is fine, as these don't contain a baseband

i just got a gio and its the s5660v version. i cant see the hardware differences, both have hspa 900/2100 mhz and quadband gsm. so does this mean that theyre identical ?
im wanting to flash the latest stock samsung 2.3.6 unbranded (no carrier bloatware) firmware. i cant seem to find it anywhere, infact i cant seem to find any 2.3.6 unbranded firmwares. so if anyone has the link, thatll be appreciated. also if i delete the amss file in the .tar, would it be safe to flash it as i have the s5660v variant?
