WTF...

There must be an error on the German page
[Nokia Lumia 800] Charusen:
From Nokia Developer page:

Frequency Bands

GSM 1800

GSM 1900

GSM 850

GSM 900

WCDMA Band I (2100)

WCDMA Band II (1900)

WCDMA Band VIII (900)

This only adds to the confusion (No WCDMA 850)?
[Nokia Lumia 800] bugsy:
Thanks for the responses everyone. I think they just add to the confusion on what the real answer is, or Nokia is producing multiple models with different frequencies which I've seen referenced elsewhere.

I might just hold off for the 900 or wait until CES in January where they are supposed to make their big splash for the U.S. market. The render of the Lumia 900 that hit wmpoweruser today certainly looks nice if it's true. I wouldn't mind a slightly larger screen if it doesn't make the device too large. Some of the current phones border on mini-tablet size!
[Nokia Lumia 800] weetigo:
I know of two types of Lumia 800's and you can differentiate them via their FCC identification.

The European edition, FCC ID: LJPRM-801:

GSM/EGSM : 850/900/1800/1900

WCDMA : 900/1900/2100

The North American edition, FCC ID: ...RM-819:

GSM/EGSM : 850/900/1800/1900

WCDMA : 850/1900/2100
[Nokia Lumia 800] bugsy:
I really wish Nokia would fix the data on their web pages. I ran into this a few years ago with another phone I purchased from them where it was advertised as having U.S. bands when in fact it did not. Thanks for the info everyone.
[Nokia Lumia 800] weetigo:
Agree 100%. When i bought my phone, the lumia was advertised as:

WCDMA: 850/900/1900/2100

Many sellers have since correctly identified which bands the phone supports, but some still falsely advertise both 850 and 900 bands being on the phone.

When my Lumia 800 arrived and I could only get Edge/G service, I did some research and I was slightly disappointed. Luckily I work and live in a Wi-Fi zone, so that is my primary data connnection.
[Nokia Lumia 800] apollo15rover:
You too, huh? I was curious about Rogers. I find that 2G isn't the end of the world.. Only shortcoming are media rich sites, otherwise they still load up quickly for me.

The only thing I really would have missed on 3G is mapping and navigation, but the non-data GPS and preloaded map feature has completely eliminated that concern.
[Nokia Lumia 800] weetigo:
Rogers here in the 'Peg. I'm in love with it even though the primary service around my home is Edge/G. However, since I wrote that piece above, I grabbed the "Nokia Network Setup" application from the marketplace and now I can get 3G around my workplace.
[Nokia Lumia 800] totalfixation:
Here is my situation at the moment. I'm currently in the US using At&t's network through straight talk. I purchased the Nokia Lumia 800 the UK version which is LJPRM-801. It clearly states that it supports WCDMA 900/1900/2100. Which I suppose are really meant for the UK or Europe. When I purchased the phone from the seller he clearly stated it was lock and he got it from Orange UK. Which I assume is locked as well. Surprisingly when I received the phone I inserted the Sim and it registered perfectly fine. I get voice AND data. I figured it may possibly be using the 1900 band for data. My main thoughts about this UK version is it may possibly have the 850 band included but not listed on the box for regulation concerns. How would I go about and truly testing it out if it does support 850 band?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
You can't really, short of going to an area you know uses soley 850Mhz 3G, and not 1900 as well.
[Nokia Lumia 800] totalfixation:
I dont see the reasoning behind manufacturing two different phones, My thoughts are they could have just disabled the band with a simple firmware. Has Anyone truly tested this? Any though on getting a different firmware version of the Lumia 800 on this UK version seeing if it would enable the 850 band.
[Nokia Lumia 800] tewmgd:
Me too I purchased one from Clove.co.uk. On the box it stated 900/1900/2100 for 3G but I have 3G. Maybe I have a 1900Mhz station near my work. I will do more tests tonight.

Does an app exist to know the current band of 3G connection?
[Nokia Lumia 800] falconeight:
I've called Nokia while in Germany and they said that they only produced quad band Nokia lumia 800's
[Nokia Lumia 800] totalfixation:
When you say quad band are you referring to 2g or 3g? because we know it's quadband 2g, but whether it's quadband 3g is the question.
[Nokia Lumia 800] tewmgd:
So I have used it on 3 different locations here in Montreal on Rogers and I always got 3G. I don't know the band used by Rogers. I found several references but not definitive answer. I have the Lumia 800 Model 801.
[Nokia Lumia 800] falconeight:
Both 2g and 3G
[Nokia Lumia 800] kirdroid:
So you have the lumia 800 which has quad band 3g? If possible could you please post a picture of the lumia 800 box listing the quad 3G bands?
[Nokia Lumia 800] falconeight:
I'm in Germany right now and don't have the box. I don't remember if it had the cell bands on the box. I know I got hspa on AT&T and I was happy.
[Nokia Lumia 800] kirdroid:
Ohh okay I just got the lumia 800 and I do get HSPA speeds on AT&T. But it is from the 1900 band and on the box it mentions 900/1900/2100 bands only.

My understanding is that there is no lumia 800 with 850 bands, so was eager to know if it really exists.
[Nokia Lumia 800] falconeight:
The problem with that is it was only made for europe which only uses those bands.
[Nokia Lumia 800] voluptuary:
This makes sence. I have noticed that I get a little 'E' more often than I used to (almost never) but I still get 'H' alot of the time too, so one could assume that I'm getting 'E' in the places where I used to connect to a 850 tower but I am still getting HSPA speeds via the 1900 towers around me.

Unbranded Nokia 800 direct from Nokia on at&t near Milwaukee, WI.
[Nokia Lumia 800] kirdroid:
Yeah I also get little more E than normal. But luckily the 1900 coverage is almost similar to 850 one, so we shd get H most of the time.
[Nokia Lumia 800] fshqbizfs:
Just got my new imported Lumia 800 here in Mexico.

It does NOT have the 850 WCDMA band, and it HAS the infamous 980mAh battery problem.

Very disappointed, as all nokia sites are advertising the phone as 3g quad band.

Essentially, it's almost a brick here for me.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Braian87b:
Same for me, i bought a Lumia 800 in Paraguay, unlocked branded t-mobile DE (from Germany) and here in Argentina (850mhz 3g band) it only shows "E" (edge) and 3g does not work, ("H" never seen).

Is there any way to do a firmware update o flashing to make it work? Somebody tryed?

And forgot to mention, I updated the firmware using Zune, the battery was improved, but still needs more capacity. (very far from the 265hs advertised in gsmarena.com/nokia_lumia_800-4240.php , have ~30hrs in stand by with wifi off) And camera nows have the pink center bug and bad quality indoor shots problem.
[Nokia Lumia 800] _Madmatt:
That's because you use the European model which doens't have the 850MHz band. Normal, when you import from Germany, EU...

No download mode or recovery. Just boots to that crashed screen. I tried making a jig but the phone would not boot from 300 or 301k ohm resistor. So I only have the att screen, crash screen and I also get the battery screen when I attempt to go into download mode. PLEASE HELP!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangi26:
You're not hard bricked, hard brick, you'd have nothing at all. try to pull your battery for a couple min. Put it back in and try your jig again(I'll assume it has worked before)

Also, what were you doing that caused this?

What did you have installed for a ROM?

Also, I'm at work and they block youtube, so I can't see your video, can you upload a photo of your screen error
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
You need GB bootloaders, that is what is wrong, why don't people read anymore

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hupo224:
I'm sorry. My mistake was that I did not flash GB bootloader and I attempted to install a GB rom through CWM. My bad.

Download mode doesn't seem to work and I'm not positive my Jig works as I just got the resistors from radioshack and am touching the two pins but the phone does nothing. If I hold both volume buttons while plugging in usb it will have the circle icon and then go to the battery charging screen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
heres a screenshot from his youtube vid for reference.

is this what happens when you dont have the gingerbread bootloaders??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
when just using your fingers to do quick jig, make sure your fingers arent touching both sides of the resistor! your finger creates a parallel path that alters the total resistance. its really complicated...... USE TAPE TO HOLD YOUR "jig"
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
Yahh that is the result of no GB bL and Gb ROM! I'm not mad just people screw stuff up and ask for help when its too late.

Nobody minds helping you if your phone isn't bricked yet, but to fix bricked phones over text isn't easy
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hupo224:
I tried all the download mode methods. It appears that the actual download mode has the same "crash screen" issue then just resets.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hupo224:
To be fair. I just rooted and rom'd my ex girlfriends captivate a couple of months ago. Something went wrong in the usual process.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hupo224:

I have the same problem. Mine I know is not from bootloaders. My jig was not working at all, but now I'm trying it and touching the right pins and it just boots the phone up to at&t screen and loops, just like it does when I try and power it on. It doesn't go to download mode. Any reason why?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hupo224:
Every place on the internet with this question is ignored. Everyone gave up on this phone/problem.

My Jig worked 2 times yesterday. Now it's not doing anything. Even trying 302k ohms.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anjosautomotive:
You're touching the wrong pins or wrong resistance. If your touching the wires with your fingers it will throw off the resistance. you also have to wait a couple of seconds before it goes into download mode.

Had the same issue months ago.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjtitus098:
I have my resistors wrapped with tape and am using a cut up mini usb to hit the right pins easier. Using 3 100k ohm resistors. Don't know how I'd be messing it up. I leave it on the pins for 4-5 seconds. It usually just boots the phone up instead of going into download mode...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hupo224:
Any help would be lovely. Mine does not go into download mode anymore.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hupo224:
My JIG appears to work BUT my phone doesn't boot into download mode just at&t logo and crashes now... any ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjtitus098:
Same exact thing. I checked with a multi-meter and it shows I'm getting 300k ohms and I'm using a cut up micro usb to ensure I hit the right pins and it just boots phone up and loops. Just doesn't make sense.

I may have to send the phone in somewhere. It did get into download mode twice yesterday

Thanks will give this a try just to see if I can speed up my fix time.

Don't have any major problems but sygic is very slow getting a fix for some reason.
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
sweet

Very nice work. I have a question since you've looked into GPS extensively for the WFS... On my old G2 there was a GPS fix problem for like 2 months (seemed like forever but I was a nightly flasher of CM7 at the time) Ended up two partitions of EFS data could be wiped [think it was 13 & 14 on the G2] and voila it fixed quick, fast and in a hurry. I wish Eoghan could get in on this answer as well as I think he has EFS data partition knowledge... might there be any pitfall for us (if not now, in the future) does it write any data to an EFS partition in other words? If so, is there other data on the EFS partition or is it just AGPS data.

The follow-up of course would be does anyone want to make a superwipe that clears the data? ;)

If I'm just rambling slap me in the back of the head.

Rob
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Thanks.

Now I'm back to quick locks and 10 to 12 sats indoors. Haven't even tried it outside yet. :P It's below 0 C so I might not do it tonight although if I take the garbage out I'll make someone happy...

I would love to hear from Eoghan on this as well. Haven't heard back from him today. Hung over or a bricked phone perhaps...
[HTC Wildfire S] modpunk:
I don't see why you need 'gpsfix' from the market if you have a SUPL_HOST specified in the gps.conf file?

Does SUPL support not work?
[HTC Wildfire S] modpunk:
All the current HTC phones have a Qualcomm GPS chipset. The firmware running on the radio processor handles SUPL support. You just need to tell it the SUPL server and port. So the config should look like this:

NTP_SERVER=europe.pool.ntp.org
#NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org
#NTP_SERVER=oceania.pool.ntp.org
#NTP_SERVER=asia.pool.ntp.org
XTRA_SERVER_1=http://xtra1.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_2=http://xtra2.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
XTRA_SERVER_3=http://xtra3.gpsonextra.net/xtra.bin
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276

If SUPL is set it will automatically get the gps fix from the SUPL server. There is no need to install and run the 'gpsfix' tool.
[HTC Wildfire S] modpunk:
I think the file /etc/agps_rm is needed. It is an empty file but it looks like the firmware is looking for it.
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Extra agps_rm file attached

Attached is agps_rm zipped. This post is an update for those who have already applied the config. For new users use modified original post.

Please add to /system/etc/ and set permissions to 0755

Thanks to modpunk!

How to set permission?

Sent from my HTC WildfireS
[HTC Wildfire S] modpunk:
The radio firmware knows about SecureRootCert. I think if we add the Euqifax root cert and set the TLS ports it should work too. I need to test this tomorrow.
[HTC Wildfire S] modpunk:
The following variables are present in code (libloc):

NTP_SERVER

XTRA_SERVER

SUPL_HOST

SUPL_PORT

C2K_HOST

C2K_PORT

The radio firmware supports also tls connections but we're not able to set it with cyanogenmod. It looks like HTC doesn't set it too.

Read the part regarding cyanogen and nightlys especially.

And give your thoughts/experience.
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Nice and clean. Nothing new to the table though.
[HTC Wildfire S] modpunk:
All this guy did is put all config options he found on the net in one gps.conf file and create an installer. As I said the gps library hands only the supl server and port to the firmware. Take a look at the source code. The next thing is that the TLS connection to the supl server will not work cause he root certificate is the wrong one.

[HTC Wildfire S] VitanyLTD:
Thanks,

this made my gps more accurate..

only one problem: it never locks?

google maps sees where i am but gps still says it isnt locked,

this causes google map to work incorrect :/

i did everything as described, i'll try and test from diffrent locations.

(gps logo keeps flashing in the notification bar)
[HTC Wildfire S] zorka:
I have the same problem. GPSstatus has a fix, but maps (and other like mytrack, ...) only seem to use cellid information..... (or WiFi)
[HTC Wildfire S] VitanyLTD:
Well, guess what? without any change my gps just started working on my way home. dont know what changed but its good now :D
[HTC Wildfire S] 07blackwater:
At first my performance was no better than any other GPS.config tweak I tried. It'd get the signal but not acquire. Now it seems to be acquiring faster but only after I adjusted angry GPS settings.

I'll post back with them if it's not just a fluke.
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Try to force an A-GPS update through GPS Status.

/Menu Click/Tools/Manage A-GPS State/Download

If you run the program it is auto set to download A-GPS data if it's older than one day anyways.

Had my GPS off all night and just switched it on and acquired 12 sats in 5 seconds.
[HTC Wildfire S] 07blackwater:
I do that before I run my GPS every time. I have a GS remember? ;P

It still doesn't help. My GPS worked better a few weeks ago. I'm wondering if it's atmospheric in nature at this point but it did work fairly well a month or so ago.

[HTC Wildfire S] :
This works well, used the zip, and changed to us servers before i flashed. 12 satelites inside now. Also, and im just saying it could be other things too, i get faster internet with gps on and slower with it off? i dont get it but ill take it. Its consistant too, i tried 9 times and 9 times the results were the same
[HTC Wildfire S] b02:
this worked, rly nice :)

it should be included in roms, like cm 7.2 ...

Problems...

Whenever I use this, it insists I'm in Skipton (???), yet I am over 150 Km away in Somerset! Can anyone explain this???

Note: I only every seem to get a max. of 3 sats.
[HTC Wildfire S] realaaa:
same here! rooted WFS A510b with CM7, just installed this and GPS indeed seems to work considerably faster but the location is COMPLETELY wrong :)

it's interesting that the location is always the same (roughly the middle of Australia), so it seems like it is offsetting the location with some pre-set values?

I'll see how it goes and if it changes

UPDATE: what I tried so far - any other suggestions please? thanks!

rebooted phone again (after modifying NTP servers to AU)

turned GPS off and on (couple times)

went to GPS Status->Tools->Manage A-GPS State and then did Reset and then Download

went outside for a walk with GPS Status on. At some points it went to 7/8 Fix/Sats maximum (usually indoors it is 1/2 or 2/3, outdoors maybe 2/3 or 3/4)

the location is still loc:-27.00000,133.0 (sorry cannot post links yet) while I'm in Sydney

what GPS status shows exactly is: Latitude 27°6.437'S Longitude 133°7.152'E and it does not change so it's quite accurate and persistent (but seems completely wrong)
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Run GPS Status from the Marketplace and let it download the agps data and settle into it's new position. It will get the sats and subsequent locks will be faster.
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
Same advice as above post.
[HTC Wildfire S] realaaa:
yep - see my updated post with some more data, anything else I can try? weird that it seems quite accurate (e.g. it always returns the same location), but just massively shifted
[HTC Wildfire S] d33ps1x:
I will play with it and post an update when I rejig it and get rid of this issue. Thanks for highlighting it.

Tutorial and fix updated to version 1.1 in first post.
[HTC Wildfire S] realaaa:
Thanks! but it did not work :( still shows 27°6.437'S and 133°7.152'E

to confirm what I did:

downloaded both new 1.1 ZIP package and the Qbanin APK

rebooted into recovery

installed 1.1 ZIP package

rebooted

installed and ran Qbanin application (what does it do by the way?)

waited until the message "GPS Fixed" appeared

ran GPS Status and did Reset/Download

found myself in the middle of Australia again :)

After the GPS fix app. Worked here on two devices tonight.

Sent from my cm7.2 Wildfire S
[HTC Wildfire S] realaaa:
No joy :( and still the same location returned by GPS status..

UPDATE - OK guys I'm starting to get a bit worried! I have applied another GPS patch from crypted, after which I have rebooted and took out battery for some time to make sure there is absolutely no residual data left. After the reboot I still get THE SAME latitude and longitude as before. Also it does not change at all when I move around, but the compass works, and the Fix/Sats is changing as well so the sensors seem to be operational. It is almost like something has stuck at some point and the same coordinates are being returned. Does this give a clue to anyone on what else I might check? I can only think of wrong permissions somewhere...

UPDATE 2 - returned back to this fix and also corrected file permissions (they became 666 at some point), reinstalled everything again but still getting the same still location... Guys please let me know if I should maybe create separate topic for this? Cheers
[HTC Wildfire S] DanHidalgo:
Does ths really works? If I reflash my phone will it have the old GPS files or will it still have the modified ones?
