[Q] 3g 850 band

---

the O1 has 900 / 2100 3G band stock.. is it possible in any shape or form to add a band to it? for example the 850mhz band?? can any developer take a look into this? im already assuming its hardware related but for the many transformations the O1 has gone through im not ruling it out as impossible just yet.. please have a look into it thanks..

Well it's impossible, as in totally. These bands are not like porting ICS over and i guess they may need a change in chipsets or whatever.

2G Network:GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network :HSDPA 900 / 2100
850mhz band is for 2g
U want 2g while u select wcdma only, is it that ?
Why dont u select gsm only if thats the case

Perhaps it ispossible, but you need to flash another radio image for it. Also, your radio must support that frquency.

im on 2g.. the problem im facing is that the network im on the 3G band is 850 n the O1 doesnt support that band for 3g..

thats wat i was thinking.. for example: the old motorola l7 stock was GPRS n with sum modifications was about to use EDGE.. the codes for the OS r different but what seemed impossible in the beginning turned out different after trying..

as Cresqo said, it cud b hardware depended n therefore would be impossible.. i personally have no experiencing where Android OS modding is concerned thats y im asking for advice here where experienced ppl are..

Well, say our phone supports that band (which I guess it does), we need to hack the radio image. I have done it on Nokia phones before, but never looked into it for LG P500.

I was looking into this not too long ago. See the third post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=26608544

P500 uses WCDMA band 8, which is 880MHz - 915MHz. This is determined by hardware filters unfortunately.
