anyone have the original jf3 firmware becuase after flashing to jf3 the new radio i am not getting 3g for one of the freq. bands not sure which one as it works on att with my microcell but here at work went back to my old phone i8910 and i definately get 3g but not on the galaxy s any longer... maybe the russian radio i flash with is diff. frequencies or the phone is bad.. will try a reset also.
thanks
strange now i put sim card back in new phone and am getting 3g at work so it is not with the redio.. so either at&t is looking at sime and blocking it (i doubt it) or the phone is not switching bands say from 1900 to 2100 or something correctly or a bug in the f/w where it gets in a corrupt state and 3g is not working... anyone else loose 3g at times and then reboot. and it works ok?

I noticed an unlocked US 3G Diamond at Best Buy today. I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find the answer.
What makes the US version work on AT&T with 3G over the imported version? I have not seen a radio upgrade that allows it yet. The handsets actually looked quite similar with the exception of the back and battery.
I'm just curious whether to pick up the new one in order to get 3G service, or is there a radio update expected?
Thanks to anyone that can shed some light on it for me.
I have a US 3G version and the freq. that at&t uses here has been enabled.

Sure, it would be the 850 and 1900 Bands. But there are Quad-Band radios available for the EU Diamond. I wonder if it's a question about the device not having specific hardware or just being able to enable those bands to work properly.
Sorry for my english
he American Diamond has quad band in GSM and only two band in HSDPA, The people here says that is a har problem not the radio, the people put the american radio (08) in European version and dont work.
The American version came with the 1340 mh battery and without the front camera. Carlos

I have a Touch Diamond I bought last week from new Egg, just like the ones from best buy. For some reason, I can pick up the 3G signal and it will hold on to it for just a second, then x..{disconnects}..then immediatly picks up Edge and then Hsdpa?
I get 25% Edge and 75% Hdspa. I guess if you read the box, it says it picks up a 3.5G internet Broadband Connection....Anything over 3.5mbps is Hsdpa.

I notcied that the US version had the 1350 mAh battery instead of the 900 mAh like the EU version. Was there any documentation on why they did this? Has anyone checked if putting the smaller battery and slimmer back on the US version causes any problems?
I also find it odd that HTC briefly listed the Diamond as a Quad-Band phone on their website, and have since changed it back to a Tri-Band phone.
I still have hope that our European Diamond will work with US 3G with somefirm ware flash or something
No, it will not.

so are the telus and euro hero the same hard ware wise?
could i install the telus ruu and get hspa on the 1900/850 bands? cuz my antenna can get it, it just takes gsm/egde/gprs instead of hsdpa...
does anyone know where i can find a link to this ruu?
if its not for sure, will i be able to just use my recovery image after?
if not because its an ruu, could someone package the ruu into an update.zip so i dont loose the recovery image in case it goes wrong?
thank you so much!
also to be sure
i thought i could use my phone as it is on telus! In which case,
1. is it possible to be partially unlocked?
cuz i can use rogers but not telus
2. why would telus site say my phone works when it doesnt?
3. how do i check if my phone is unlocked when i stick in a telus card and it doesnt ask for an unlock code!?
4. maybe they havnt worked out their kinks yet?
thanks again
The cpu controlls the radio bands, these are preset, one chip for us radio bands and one for euro, so your radio problem is hardware not software and your stuck with what you got ...... sorry
It's not 100% confirmed about the hardware. But at this time, no quad HSDAP band unlocks
you just got me super stoked... are you saying that the phone might be capable... it just has to be unlocked or something?

thanks for the info! il be switchin to rogers i guess:|
you posted this in another forums.. we told you it wont work.. youll be stuck with a 2G phone.
European Hero = Hero100
Telus Hero = Hero130
2 different product numbers, which means.. different hardware. The radios are not software locked, they physically non existant in the phone you have

Switching to Rogers won't help with the frequency issue.
Rogers and Telus use identical bands for 3G/HSPA

Except that he will get GPRS/EDGE on Rogers, whereas he gets nothing on Telus. because apparently they don't have a 2G network, and haven't signed a roaming agreement with a carrier that does.

Yup. GPRS/Edge works on Rogers. And to be honest, 3G data transmission seems as slow as Edge (I've got both a European and North American Hero) at times (a lot of the time). Must be those darn iPhone users sucking up all the bandwidth.
i dont use data anyways so not having 3g doesnt effect mee (using pay as you go)
and whoa they sell sim cards for $40! but i found for 15 just gotta wait like three days for it in the mail :\

Depends where you live, im a tester for Ericsson and i work everynight on Rogers sites, devices are all capped at 7.2mbit and the max you can get out of the connection is close to 3mbit.. its not network congestion its just a softcap set by Rogers to not cause congesting.
i dont know if they are made available to the public, but i use a 21mbit usb aircard for my tests and on Rogers i get 15mbit in montreal.
HTC MAGIC on TELUS.
if i purchase an htc magic unlocked originally from rogers will it work with telus hspa data + phone?
Here's a thought!
If you've a question about the Magic, why not go to the Magic forums and ask it there, instead of posting on the Hero forums where it is just spam?

Dave

Ha on rogers maybe, but on Bell 3G speeds on my phone are 4MB/s down, and 1MB/s up.
I have rooted and installed CM7 on my Defy. I bought an unlocked Defy from ebay after a google search revealed that it would work with ATT.
So far, I am only able to connect to the EDGE network and only make calls. I can't get text messages to work, but I can get about 40kbps when I run the speedtest app. Anyone have any insight? Thanks.
The Defy from T-Mobile is not compatiple with AT&T 3g bands. Also your texting problem is connected to your APN settings not being correct.
You are correct, sorry I meant to say that the 850 band is the only one reported working
Several other forums report that the 850 band works on ATT 3G.
a tmobile defy definitely works on att. I am on one right now.
did you check the band changer? since you're on edge you should be on the correct bands. maybe the person sold you a non tmobile defy?
also i've seen a 3g fix floating around but i'm not sure what it's for.
with my tmo defy that was unlocked i just popped in my sim and it worked. when i changed to cm7 i had to change the bands and then it worked.
It is a non t-mob defy.
Or at least I suspect this based on the European style plug.
Which baseband are you using?
i am using the americas us t-mo 3.4.2-107-4
bought a galaxy nexus in singapore, i flashed rom,rooted, and i only get 2g and edge, no 3g or hspa, i don't know why i try sim card in singapore and simcard in indonesia, just 2g and edge, i go into *#*#4636#*#* and change to WCDMA only and still 2g/edge only, no matter what i try i just get 2g/edge

You need to be sure what device you have. Is it an sim unlocked device?
I think you need to update your RIL/BB...I've never seen that bb version though. See this thread and thread2. Like the img attached from my device, you need to see a compatible match between RIL and Baseband.
Some radios should also work outside the area they're originally designed for, although the latest one for Europe/International in the Google train is XXLJ1, same RIL from XXLH1. It would be wise to be running the latest RIL/BB combo for the area/carrier (if applies any special conditions) you intend to use the device on, matching installed Android version (in this case, JDQ39).
edit: and just to be extra cautious, check that you have the latest bootloader available to your hardware.
I am on Boost which use Telstra's network and I understand that 850 will not work (No Next G) but all I seem to be getting on Stock/Custom ROMs is Edge. I am going to change my sim card today and might try another carrier just as a test. Anyone else from OZ???
