Re: Additional Frequency support
 

The bug, #8240, was resolved "MOVED" with Kham being directed to Brainstorm. Given a hardware limitation in the N900 bars its use with AT&T's 3G, I'm not clear on exactly what Kham is expected to brainstorm. My only guess (and it's a stretch) is that this may be seen as a method of collecting votes for additional or different frequency support in future Maemo devices.

Re: Additional Frequency support
 

Yeah, basically, or see if there is any hardware "hack" available. Also, I am wondering if anyone can enlighten me on the hardware difference between the WCDMA and EDGE frequencies, and why they cannot be edited through software/firmware changes?

Also, "US proprietary frequencies" they are not. Also used in Canada, South America, and Australia, I believe. So, this would certainly help Nokia's market share.

Great research Kham, I do support your effort :)
keep going on.

Re: Additional Frequency support
 

there are 2 other thread that where discussing the same issue 1 and 2 months ago. one was AT&T, the other changing frequency and has I remember nothing can be done except hardware

Re: Additional Frequency support
 

I do remember those threads but the conclusions are not determinant, that is why ppl keep trying it. See the right side, it is good 4 every1 know about the real issue on it.

Had the feeling that the hardware supports it :) just because of "regulations,strategy,etc" it is just limited to the bands released.

If there is a way of course I will use it here for Perú 850-3G. Hack, trick,Swap chip, SW tunning up, etc. that could be useful for many.

So, what cellphone component or linux package/library/BIOS controls the BANDS ?

Re: Additional Frequency support
 

Now I get it... talking about wcdma frequencies ;)
I think its f range the chip can tune to at the hardware side.
Which ranges are supported is highly up to the manufacturer; you can have this discussion for all continents... some phones for N/S-America wont fit for Europe... and the other way round.

AT&T 3G support no win Brainstorm!!!
 

Submitted to Brainstorm!! PLEASE VOTE!!
