Does galaxy s 2 tmobile support 850mhz frequency in 3g?
I saw gsmarena that they updated the details and it is supported now, is it true?
This phone supports:
2G: 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G: 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
Anywhere else that says otherwise is wrong. This is what's printed on the box.
I bought the unlocked version (R800i) and im using it on a latinamerican network (MOVISTAR COLOMBIA) which is a GSM carrier but i can not get 3G speeds. Does it have to do with the supported bands? How can i change my supported bands?
BTW: This carrier works with GSM 850/1900 bands and according ro GSM arena it supports the following bands:
-2G Network: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
-3G Network: HSDPA 900 / 2100
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 / 800
Have you set up your apn settings

The r800i only have 3g 900 and 2100 hsdpa ...the 850 MHz hsdpa is only disponible in r800a and r800at model. Dont work 3g with your operator. Sorry the bad english.

I think what he's trying to say is you bought the wrong model.. Sorry dude.
hi guys having the same issue.
i have Xperia Play (R800i) running on Telekom (Slovakia). I asked folks over there on what frequency is their 3G running, they told me that 1800.
Does it mean that i will have just 2G (Edge) available if in my paper is UMTS HSPA Band 1 8 GSM GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900?
Telekom offered this mobile in the end of 2011 so I am curious whether they would offer mobile with no 3G capability.
Thanks
R800i: GSM (2G) 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900, HSDPA (3G) 900 / 2100
R800at: GSM (2G) 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900, HSDPA (3G) 850 / 1900 / 2100 / 800
The R800i will not work with 850 and 1900 bands. You can't change the support band, you'll have to buy a different phone. It is hardware limitation btw, if you flash R800at firmware and baseband to your R800i, it will not make it work.

thanks for your reply, if my provider is telling that its 3G is running at 1800 Mhz, it should run right? currently i am running just 2G :/ and even when carrier selection i have just 2g shown. Can it be SIM related? i have changed mine a week ago.
Edit: just checked in TMobile that lady ran my SIM on her phone and H appeared. it has to be phone related somehow.
how can i find out whether my 800i wasnt transfered from some at, a version?
I talked do Data centre and R800i was in one of the action of Telekom , when i select only WCDMA, i lose any access to the service, carrier told me that it has to do something with the phone.
I guess that there were 3G and 4G versions of Play, not the version without 3G
They already told you: You bought the wrong model.

Perhaps all problems will be solved at once if you bought the correct model?!

The 1800 is listed under both R800i & R800at as 2G frequency. I hate to say it but as its been stated already in this thread you bough the wrong model.
Eskasol:
"R800i: GSM (2G) 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900,
HSDPA (3G) 900 / 2100
R800at: GSM (2G) 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900,
HSDPA (3G) 850 / 1900 / 2100 / 800

Hi Guys
My question is related to the LTE frequency they use I have an E980 and I am now in Qatar, the model they have here is E988 which is "LTE 1800 / 2600 - E988" however my E980 "LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 1700 / 2100” and I am experiencing very slow 4G connection, is it because of the bandwidth or it might be something else.
Thanks in advace

Naah Bro!!
The frequency bands are related to your hardware!
E980 n E988(mine) have different freq bands due to different modems
All: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
E985: HSDPA 900 / 2100
E986: HSDPA 900 / 2100
E986: LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600
E988: HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100
E988: LTE 1800 / 2600
ATnT: HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
ATnT: LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 1700 / 2100
hi there ,
i wanted to ask if there is some tool anywhere that can rewrite htc one version from gsm to t-moblie et
that if someone buy accidentally wrong version that doesn't support the bands ,he can change them ,so it could work?
for instance:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 - EMEA, Asia
LTE 700 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 - Asia
to
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 - AT&T
LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600 - AT&T et...
thanks ahead.
Its not possible. If the bands are not supported in hardware, there is no way to magically make it work with software.
There are some isolated instances of bands being "hidden" in software (but in fact supported in hardware) and folks making the band accessible by flashing a different radio. But such cases are very rare, and flashing radios not meant for the device is also very risky, as its a great way to truly brick the phone.
