Update On Us 3g!

CAN ANYONE CONFIRM THAT THEY HAVE A DIAMOND WORKING ON THE 850 3G BAND FOR ATT?
I have been told that the "DIAM130" diamond will work for the 850 3g att band but I am yet to have anyone confirm this! I really wanna get a diamond but 3g is a must for me, so please let us know ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

Geez, double posted. When there are already several threads addressing this.

Is this guy serious? Can we just like, vote to ban him now? 2 posts in the Diamond section asking the exact same question, so here's the answer you get.
Yes, I HAVE MY DIAMOND RUNNING ON 3G ON BOTH AT&T FREQUENCIES, 850 AND 1900. It runs perfect with no issues whatsoever. So Lewi, all you have to do is buy any tri-band or quad-band Diamond and not modify it one bit, it'll work flawlessly in the United States. Go get it buddy, it's yours for the taking!
(note: for any user besides lewi, this will not work. don't waste your money.)

[Q] US T-mobile G2 in the UK? [SOLVED]

Hey guys, I looked on wikipedia at the G2 specs, and it lists
Connectivity: Quad band GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz and GPRS/EDGE as well as UMTS 1700 2100 MHz, and HSPA+

I am interested in buying a T-Mobile branded G2 (unlocked of course) from the US, and need to know if it will work in the UK or not. From the specs listed there it will, but wikipedia isn't always accurate of course.
Can anyone please confirm wikipedia is right?

There was another thread about this a few days ago

[Q] Changing GSM Band Lock

Hi Guys,
Well, this is my first time posting here, so hello to you all!
Anyway, down to my problem. I have a Desire Z A7272 running on the Australian Telstra network. I just bought a new sim card today that is Next G activated.
I have a few problems which I am hoping to solve by asking you experts First of all note that the Telstra Next G network runs on the 850mHz bandwidth, which I believe my phone does not support. Seeming as I live in regional Australia, this is undesiarable because although 21000mHz is supported and available, Telstra only runs it in the metro area, where it doesn't reach me.
I was searching the net for a couple of days until I found a forum where it explained how to lock the GSM bands. I can't link it as I have lost the page. What I did was dial *#*#4643#*#* and change the network lock to "United States". This was because in the US they don't have the 900mHz band they use the 850mHz band and I was hoping to get my phone to use the 850mHz band.
Now to my 2 problems.
1. When I locked the phone to the 850mHz band, it seems that I can't access *#*#4643#*#* anymore. I type the number in, and nothing opens. I was wondering how to fix this so I could set it up to "Automatic" again.
2. I was wondering if there is anyway hardware or software wise to be able to access and use the 850mHz network. If you could link or quote some reliable/trusted sources that would be excellent. I will take unknown sources but will do with caution, I don't want to break my 2 week old phone.
Thanks guys, sorry for the essay.
Haash.
EDIT: Please note that my phone is running Android 2.3.3 with HTC Sense 2.1.

Your phone is only capable of accessing whatever bands your hardware is designed to. I don't know the specs for your Desire Z, but if the bands you want are not listed in the hardware specs, you will NEVER get them. You would need to investigate whether there is a desire z model built to run on the gsm spectrum you need.
For example, here in the US, Tmobile and AT&T phones can be unlocked to use on each other's EDGE network. But no magic code can ever give them the hardware needed to run each other's 3G network.

Thanks, now all I need to do is get my *#*#4643#*#* working again so I can change it back to the 21000mHz network that I can use.

For anyone wondering:
Europe:
HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Asia Pacific:
HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
BUT, for the Tmobile G2 (American version)
GSM:
850, 900, 1800, 1900
UMTS:
1700/2100, 2100

Thanks, does anyone know how to unlock *#*#4643#*#*?

It could possibly be that the code you're using isn't correct. I believe it is *#*#4636#*#*

Does CDMA galaxy nexus work with GSM

Someone has brought me a Galaxy Nexus from Bell operator in canada, I wonder if there is anyway it can work with GSM?
you should know that returning or exchanging the phone is not an option here. Im stuck with this phone as it is

This phone will NOT work on anything other then a CDMA & LTE network.

Regardless of what others are telling you about where this thread belongs ... a little research shows that Bell Canada retains a CDMA network but it's primary focus since 2009 has been it's HSPA GSM network. Please refer to the docs IN the box your phone came with .. if it is indeed an HSPA ie. simcard having GSM phone .. go grab an AT&T or TMO account an have fun.

Activated post paid sprint S6

Hi everybody! I come to live in US for three months, and then i return to Argentina.
I bought an prepaid sprint S6 on ebay. After trying to activate i discovered that my phone is a post paid sprint instead of a pre paid.
Here are the questions:
_do i need a contract in order to activate my phone?
_can i Root and unlock it by my my self if i want to use it with at&t?
_ I don't understand the difference between cdma and gsm, can i use this phone in Argentina?
Sorry for the questions, i read a lot on Internet but everything is so confusing. One more thing , the software of my phone is Ol1
I really appreciate your answer and if i have to pay o collaborate with something i don't have problem ..

1. I would ask someone at sprint about the activation question
2.Well, You can root a Sprint/T-Mobile phone. (I know that doesn't help)
3.Use it in Argentina? Maybe, depending on what bands the carriers use over there. You can probably check. Just compare what the S6 bands do.
If I can post a link that may help you, It should be here: https://www.sprint.com/legal/unlocking_policy.html Look at the chart at the bottom. (Dont know if I am allowed to post links)
Hope I helped

Ok, thank you.
I read that i can root it and then unlock it, but my phone is not activated yet. So i don't know if it's gonna work without activation.
The bands in argentine are 2G: 850 / 1900 3G: 850 / 1900 4G: Banda 4 (AWS, 1700) / Banda 28 (APT700, 700 MHz)
But in Argentina we use gsm, and i think that here is cdsma

But do you know if I can use the phone with gsm technology? Because in the specifications of the phone the bands are the same.
