[Q] Enable 850mhz on Galaxy Nexus?

[kingo55]

I have been Googling for guides on updating the Galaxy Nexus 3G frequency to 850mhz or at least check which frequency it's on. I turned up nothing.

Does anyone know how to do this (particularly anyone else who's on Telstra)?

what do you mean "enable 850mhz"?

You're only going to be able to use the frequencies your carrier uses. If they don't use 850mhz then you can't lol.

Cheers Marton. May have answered my own question though. Basically I noticed my phone was registering on Telstra's 2100mhz network (3Telstra) but the 850mhz network is superior. After going into "Settings | Wireless & networks - More | Mobile Networks | Network Operators" I was able to change to the "Telstra Mobile."

Now it's speedier than ever.

Try going to your dialer and dialing "*#*#4636#*#*". In the next menu select the option that reads "Phone information". Once in that menu hit the option button and choose "select radio band". There you will see "Aus" and "Aus2". I believe Aus2 will get you that second frequency you're trying to get.

Thanks - am getting faster speeds now but I can't tell if it actually is faster or whether it's just because it's later in the night and more people are off to bed.

this worked perfectly. after flashing ICS 4.0.4 i was defaulting to 2100 even after flashing the telstra radio again. 850 is back!!

What do you mean? They're talking about a GSM Nexus which didn't properly switch between 2100mhz and 850mhz.

The Verizon phone is CDMA and LTE on specific bands. You're not gonna change anything.
