So basically i currently have an iphone and att. I dont have a data plan on the iphone(got it unlocked). I have someone who wants to trade me a HTC Touch Pro 2 from t-mobile for my iphone. I used to own a htc tilt and the hermes before that one, so i have an idea of roms, and hard-spl and some other stuff. And i been wanting to get back into an htc just avoid the diamond and 1st touch pro altogether because of the touch screen(which in my opinion felt worse than hermes). This one looks a lot more promising in touch controls so i am interested in HTC again. What i basically want to know is if there's a way to unlock the touch pro 2 for me to use on att. Im pretty sure the sprint versions of the phone dont work on ATT, but i wanted to know if a t-mobile version would work, since att and t-mobile use sim cards. Im just asking cuz i never used a tmobile phone on att, or vice versa.
Yes it is possible, I have a unlocked tmobile touch pro 2 which i am using in Att. The con to using a tmobile phone is you wont get att 3g speed but you will get edge and wont need the 30 dolar data plan the 10 dollar one works as well.
AS stated above you won't get AT&T 3G. I personally couldn't use a browser on edge.
But then again it depends where you located, as to what speed you get. 3g is faster but edge isnt too bad and besides i use wifi most of the time haha
Well i dont have a data plan. That doesnt really bother me because the majority of places i am at have wifi signals. Well im deciding between touch pro 2 and the mytouch 3g. I have those 2 trade offers. Im not so sure about the mytouch only because it seems pointless to get since its touch screen only, and versus the iphone, prolly not worth it.Unless the android os is better than iphones. Butthe touch pro 2, has a keyboard, bigger screen, plus an OS im quite familiar with. But who knows, i never really tried android extensively but i am willing to see what the hype is all about. I remember before the first android phone was released, users on this site were trying to get android running on the kaiser. Lol. So i have been wanting to see what its like, if its worth it. Im unsure, but atleast i know it will work on ATT if i make the decision, thanx for the input.
Well it al depends on what you look for in a phone, if you wanna try something new do the mytouch, but i can say the tp2 is by far the funnest htc ive had and you can do alot with them.
Well the person i was going to trade for the t-mobile touch pro 2 never contacted me so i held off on making trades. Im just not too crazy about the mytouch. I did have an offer some1 wanted to give me a HTC Hero and $100. But im not on sprint so i didnt want to cancel att for the Hero. On the other hand, i have a trade with a man who has a Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 and he says its GSM compatible, that it would work on ATT and compatible for any network. Now i spoke to him on phone and havent checked his phone yet, but i did read that the sprint version is international and u can put a sim card in the phone. Is it really possible that i could use ATT on that version of the touch pro?? if i could that would be great because its my favorite version of the touch pro 2, the only one with a 3.5mm headphone jack! I just want to know if its possible. Ima check it tomorrow and see whats the deal.
Does anybody know if the sprint touch pro 2 unlocked would work on ATT?
Yea if you get the sprint touch pro unlocked it will work on att

Yes, but you need to make sure that you have the special modified radio that lets you use US SIM cards, otherwise it won't work. However, to flash that radio, I think you need to be security unlocked. You can find all the information concerning security unlocking and flashing the special Radio in the stickies at the top of the Rhodium CDMA Section.

How did you get your data to work with ATT? I have an unlocked TP2 and I when I try to turn on the data connection I get an error screen that says "cannot connect for an unknown reason"

I don't have a T-Mobile Touh Pro2, but I think I may know your problem. Have you specifically set up the data connection information for AT&T? If not try this:
Go to Start>Settings>Connections>Connections>Advanced>Select Networks>New...>
Under the General Tab, enter something like AT&T.
Under the Modem tab, tap new..., call it what you want, and select "Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)".
Access Point Name: wap.cingular
Username: [email protected]
Password: CINGULAR1
Finish that, and when you return to the previous screen, ensure that your modem connection is selected. Now go to the Proxy Settings tab, and check "This network connects to the Internet". Set the the network you just as your default network, and you're all set. Alternatively, if you have the Connection Setup icon in Start>Settings>Connections, you may be able to add AT&T that way, which would be much less work.

Hey guys, I am running on Tmobile and was wondering if I purchased a Rhodium from AT&T when they are released, would I be able to flash the Tmobile Radio onto it to enable the 1700 3G band? Is there a hardware difference between these two phone radios? I don't want to get the Tmobile one because they would then force me to purchase their data plan like what happened with the G1 and I didn't agree even though I bought the phone from someone else so I had to sell it. I am currently using a Touch Pro and the inability to use Tmobile 3G makes me really sad. I currently pay $6 for their unlimited internet.
That would be an exercise in futility. No amount of radio flashing would automagically enable a non-existent hardware. I don't think the ATT version TP2 does 1700mhz. This has nothing to do with software but hardware. It's T-mo's fault for going 1700mhz in the first place and making things more complicated. Unless you want to buy subsidized (upgrade), you can pay full price for the T-mo version and just pop in your sim card.
Well, unless I am wrong. People currently with the Touch Pro 2 right now even though the one made for Tmobile isn't out yet are able to flash the Tmobile Radio onto their unbranded Touch Pro 2 and able to use Tmobile's 1700MHZ 3G Band. A lot of these phones use antenna's that are able to tune into a broad range of frequencies and I am sure we just need the radio rom that allows for the usage of those bands. The reason why I don't want to buy it without contract because Tmobile phones have their IMEI logged on Tmobile's end and they could not allow for me to use a certain phone with certain plans. I had 3 different G1's and they were all tracked by Tmobile and didn't allow me to use my data plan with that phone specifically.

Keep in mind that the G1 is a different sort of phone. G1 is a feature phone and T-mo exclusive in the states. T-mobile doesn't log imei of regular win mobile phones. I have folks with MDA's/Wings/Tytn and even unlocked iPhones using T-mo and they just popped in their sims and set the APN properly using the cheapo data you're using too..
Could you point to where folks are flashing Touch Pro's (that don't have 1700mhz) and somehow unlocking them to use 1700mhz like you indicate?

Hey guys,
I'm not pro like some of you here, so hopefully some of you could help me answer my questions/concerns.
Basically I have a Tmobile Touch Pro2 right now, but it's NOT unlocked, so I could use their 3G service for faster internet speed.
1. My question is if I unlock this phone, would it change the 3G bands, which will then take me back to EDGE speeds?
2. I also want to know if I unlock this phone, will it work with 3G ATT service.
3. In regards to #2. What if I buy the ATT version (Tilt 2) and unlock it. Will it still have the ATT 3G bands?
Basically the 3G isn't for reception, but mainly for faster internet usage. I have had my Touch 3G for sooooo long now going through edge speeds of around 20kb, so it's time for me to move on. lol. The ATT network is with my wife, so if she can use the Tmobile one on 3G, it would save me about $50-100. The Tilt 2 is more expensive
Thanks in advance!
p.s. Tmobile sucks for having their own unique 3G network

1. Yes it will still work on Tmobile 3g if you unlock it.
2. No a T-mobile branded phone will not work on AT&T 3G ( it is due to hardware.
3. refer to 1 & 2
unlocking the phone doesnt allow you to use att bands. and you dont need to unlock a tmobile phone to get tmobile 3g. if you buy a tilt 2 and unlock it and put a tmobile sim card in, you will not get 3g.
Thanks guys for the reply.
So basically if I unlock my Tmobile one, I can still get on their 3G service right? This helps a lot since now I can get rid of all their splash screens and HSPL my phone!
As for the ATT Tilt 2 version, if I unlock it, it should also stay on the ATT 3G service right? Since you mentioned the hardware is different.
Thank yoU!

Correct. Unlocking (SIM, CID, bootloader) isn't going to change anything at the hardware level no matter what phone.

Is it possible to run a Sprint Touch Pro on Android, also having both the Windows Mobile and Android flashed to cricket? Considering getting one of these for my gf whose only option is Cricket... At the same time having epicness of a Touch Pro on Android.
I have a Touch Pro 2 on T Mobile running the Android, does this also use Haret?
Sorry for being a noob, just wanna make sure I can do this before I run out and buy a Sprint Touch Pro. It looks so much better than Verizon's.

I wouldn't go for the Sprint TP or the Verizon TP as both are actually a separate CDMA model known as the Herman (as opposed to the Raphael). Apparently the Herman is noticeably worse than the Touch Pro; it overheats, is unresponsive at times and has poor call reception. On top of that you don't get a front-facing camera It is possible to run XDANDROID on the Herman, though.
As they are both CDMA, you'll have to get the other carrier (Cricket) to register the phone's serial number on its network before it will work. If your girlfriend has a Cricket SIM card it would be much easier to just use an unlocked Touch Pro GSM.
I suggest you go for an actual HTC Touch Pro instead, or at least a Fuze.
Yes, the Touch Pro2 uses Haret.

Wow....ok not to make fun and I know you are TRYING to help but, you have just given the worst advice ever. First off CRICKET is NOT a GSM carrier so NO SIM CARD!! The Sprint touch pro does NOT have any of the problems you just stated. It's a Raph800 but yes it IS known as the Herman. I have one. AND it's on Cricket...AND I'M RUNNING ANDROID. As well as WinMo 6.5.x AND sense 2.5. Disregard everything this guy just said.

Oops I knew I shouldn't have listened to them voices in my head-brain...
To be honest I hadn't ever heard of Cricket as I don't live in the US. I meant the 500 (Verizon model). Regardless, I would try to avoid the CDMA if it's at all possible - support on this site for it is much thinner than the GSM.
Problem is, just like Sprint & Verizon, Cricket is CDMA only... So his only option is a CDMA phone, no SIM card available in CDMA models.

I know, but if he really has his heart set on a Touch Pro then it might be worth getting a GSM contract instead.
OP, what is it specifically about the Touch Pro that you like so much? You can get qwerty Android phones and there's always the Touch Pro2... Is it to do with budget or functionality?
Cricket has no contracts, hence the reason it is a good option for those looking for a 'cheap' (relatively) cell carrier.
I don't know of any GSM carriers in the states that offer what Cricket does, short of the pay-per-minute ones.
I'd go with a TP2 or an Android-specific device as well. So why is your heart set on the TP?
It is possible to have the Sprint Touch Pro on Cricket; it is what I am currently running here in the Central California market. While Android may not be "flashed" onto the device, it can be run from the microSD card via HaRET. As of 6/14/2010 1400, I am able to make and receive calls and SMS, but the data connection isn't working and I haven't even tried MMS. It is all still a work in progress, and the guys behind this are making it happen fast. Everything I did to make Android work on my Touch Pro can be found here:
forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=104276
*edit*
(just found out the hard way that I cannot post links; copy & paste the above line into your browser)
As a Cricket user I have to say, this has been one of the most beautiful devices to ever touch Cricket's network, Android OR Windows Mobile 6.x (I'm running 6.1; a tad bit snappier than 6.5).
Not really a Cricket device you have there... don't mean to rain on your parade
BUT to get the net working have you tried setting up the proxy needed for Cricket service? I'm honestly not sure how to do that in Android, but I'm sure it's possible.
have you tried setting up the proxy needed for Cricket service?
Went into the APN settings and entered wap.mycricket.com on port 8080 as the proxy with my username as [email protected] and ******* as the password - no luck. Found a page somewhere on ppcgeeks which stated you had to enter the username information into /etc/ppp/pap-secrets as well as /etc/ppp/options.smd1 (or something along those lines), but that didn't prove to be helpful - not only was it meant for U.S. Cellular (I adjusted what needed adjusting), the necessary information was already contained in said files. Toggled Airplane Mode on & off, no dice. Rebooted & ran HaRET again, nada. The only successful data connection I had was with WiFi. Using that, I was able to log on to the app market and download a file explorer (and an SNES emulator =), so at the very least I can browse files graphically (and the page I found on PPC geeks specified this app in particular).
But yeah, with these dudes making strides daily, it may soon become a non-issue.
*edit*
No worries; there's no raining on this parade. I got a Touch Pro for cheap, real cheap, as an upgrade from a Mogul (Titan). Became so accustomed to its sluggishness that the raw speed of the Touch Pro caught my attention immediately. It's nice that Sprint and Cricket use the same technology. 8^D
I have a T-mobile G2 with grandfathered $5.99 tzones. My internet worked for few hours the first time I put my sim card in, but now I keep getting service unavailable error message. If I switch phones and put the sim card in Nokia e71 internet works just fine. I am sure if I call T-mobile they are going to say I need one of the android plans.
I have tried all apn's: epc.tmobile.com, wap.voicestream.com, internet2/3.voicestream.com. No luck so far.
Any ideas if there is anyway I would be able to use tzones with G2?
Nope, you have to to be on a android data plan to get your data service working.
You can call up T-Mobile's retention department and ask them to put you on teh preferred android plan for $20 (as oppoes to the $25/$30 plans)
The reason you cant use the 5.99 plan is because the phone's IMEI gets picked up T-mobile's servers and finds it as a ANDROID phone, thus requiring you to get the proper data plan.
Thanks for your response. Do you think rooting the phone will make any difference?

Rooting wont make any difference, Tmobile knows you have a G2 based on the IMEI of the phone.
There is no getting around an android data plan, the best option you have is going to retentions and getting on the preferred android plan for $20
aaah... Not the answer I wanted to hear, but I guess I will have to deal with it.
Thanks!
just an option, when i used that data plan on my iphone i just kept changing the apn til i found one that kept working.
so open ur apn option and just start trying stuff.
with the tzones plan we used epc.tmobile.com, on a friends we used internet2.voicestream.com, or internet1.voicestream.com, or wap.voicestream.com. its not designed to work but with the right apn it just might. i doubt you'll get the hspa+ speeds tho
iPhone is different, it doesn't even support the T-Mobile 3g band. I don't think you'll have any luck with changing apn's...
I tried that. None of the Apns work.
Once interesting thing I noticed is even if I change the apn name to epc.t-mobile.co it still gives me same error message with the web2go logo "service unavailable". If there is invalid APN name it should give me a different error I would have thought.
the only way to get the G2 to work with tzones is to buy the G2 through a carrier other than tmobile (which probably means getting a Desire Z, not a G2)
T-mobile only knows that your G2 is android phone because it has their logo on it (and therefore in their database)

If I import a G2 from Tmobile Europe, will it work on Tmobile USA tzones?
Does Tmobile USA also have the IMEIs of its European counterpart?

Hey whats up! Surprised not more people talking about the release. Samsung is selling the Verizon LTE version. Can I buy this version now and use it with Criketwireless (they use att network) or other? Or we don't know yet? I am not sure how all that works. Thanks
all of my verizon branded devices from the last couple years will allow a non-verizon sim, but will have a big fat triangle exclaimation mark notification that never leaves the notification panel stating that a non-verizon sim card is inserted.
I do not have experience with this device, but I imagine they will do the same thing. @[email protected]
That would annoy me. Thanks if anybody can let me know thanks.

Not getting very good speeds, had to set the values for the AT&T apn , maybe i did that wrong. None the less it is working on AT&T shows as HSPA+ network under Sim status
Oh so works on att.. Can I ask where you got it so quickly? Verizon store has it? How much cheers

Verizon store by my house had them. apparently only has the 64gb model.. One thing i noticed it would not check for system updates unless I was on wifi.. if i was on ATT it gave some sort of authentication error when i checked for updates..was worried but then tested under wifi and it had no issue.. I do get a "not Verizon sim " warning that seems to be caused by an app called "Setup Wizard" , which i force stopped and the warning went away... (until reboot of course)
Was 729 $ , I want to replace my ipad pro on ATT with this, I just wonder what other issues I may encounter later using a Verizon tablet on ATT. I wonder would it be better just to leave it on Verizon and pay for both Verizon and Att data plans.. Verizon coverage at my house is horrible so I would rather not switch my cell phone over from att, but the tab would be on wifi at home so......

I bought the Verizon model and plugged in my T-Mobile sim card and it worked straight away.
On a side note, I went straight to the APN section expecting to have to manually enter my T-Mobile APN and was pleasantly surprised to see it was already in there along with: Consumer Cellular, Family Mobile, LYCA, MetroPCS, Multibrand, Project Fi, Red Pocket, Republic, Ting, Tracfone, Ulta, Vodafone & Walmart.
So I would guess it has all of the cellular radio frequencies onboard.

I do get a "not Verizon sim " warning that seems to be caused by an app called "Setup Wizard" , which i force stopped and the warning went away... (until reboot of course)
Was 729 $ , I want to replace my ipad pro on ATT with this, I just wonder what other issues I may encounter later using a Verizon tablet on ATT. I wonder would it be better just to leave it on Verizon and pay for both Verizon and Att data plans.. Verizon coverage at my house is horrible so I would rather not switch my cell phone over from att, but the tab would be on wifi at home so......

Thanks! Well... Verizon store had one here but no keyboard case... So I found I couldn't get the half off deal if one doesn't check out both units at the same time. So I went to best buy for wifi... Got a grey version. Like it so far.... Screen is great for movies, maybe wish was a bit more snappy to navigate around like i can with my s7 edge lol... But that may an illusion as the screen is bigger on s4 taking longer to reach around the screen with hands. Still less tiring than ipad for me with all the hand sweeps when busy.
Also little disappointed in multitasking.. Wish was a floating app u can sweep from the side over an active app pair so u can easily reference 3 apps fast.. Can kinda do that on ipad i think.. Ill figure it out! And many apps i use cant multitask pair which annoying not samsung fought I guess. Still worth it

I bought the Verizon model and plugged in my T-Mobile sim card and it worked straight away.
On a side note, I went straight to the APN section expecting to have to manually enter my T-Mobile APN and was pleasantly surprised to see it was already in there along with: Consumer Cellular, Family Mobile, LYCA, MetroPCS, Multibrand, Project Fi, Red Pocket, Republic, Ting, Tracfone, Ulta, Vodafone & Walmart.
So I would guess it has all of the cellular radio frequencies onboard.

What kind of speeds are you getting with it on T-Mobile? Are you getting good LTE speeds? I want to get one, but am on T-Mobile (and not switching). Sprint launched their version today, but am I not confident T-Mobile will get one. There was only one CNET article that stated T-Mobile would get it.
Thanks!

I live in a bad spot for speed testing, at my house I get around 10 Mbps up/down. I just drove up the street a mile or so and checked there and got ~30 Mbps up/down. As I roam around tomorrow I'll do some additional speed tests and see how it performs.
Update: I ran a few speed tests this morning, I was seeing download speeds up to 75 Mbps, and Uploads up to 30 Mbps on the T-Mobile sim.

Hey whats up! Surprised not more people talking about the release. Samsung is selling the Verizon LTE version. Can I buy this version now and use it with Criketwireless (they use att network) or other? Or we don't know yet? I am not sure how all that works. Thanks

I wouldn't even consider buying a verizon version when the Korean model has LTE, 6gb ram, 256gb storage, phone capability, and is world unlocked with no bloatware. I bought one and it's the best thing since sliced bread! ebay is selling them like hot cakes. Be careful to only get the non cell provider version, you don't want korean bloatware either. It exists! https://www.samsung.com/sec/tablets/galaxy-tabs4-t835/SM-T835NZKNKOO/

Hey GradyNYC!
I had initially wanted a 256GB LTE version until I saw that Verizon only had 64GB. I didn't realize they existed. Would you mind letting me know who you ordered from and how much customs duty you paid?
Thanks!

It's about a grand. They are going for $960 or so, then shipping. If you figure getting 64G LTE for About $750 in the US and the 256G WiFi version is $100 more than the 64G WiFI version, then you come to $850. The Korean versions have 6G RAM, so really, the price difference isn't out of the realm of reality. It is pricey to begin with. I'm figuring the added costs might be offset for me by the increased internal storage and memory benefits.

I tried the s4 64gb wifi version for 2 weeks and I had minor performance complaints and I had to weigh in if I was being too picky or not. I haven't had a tablet in years and kind of expected it to respond super snappy like my s7 edge. It doesn't ! Example, you don't have issues with this website even on the s4 with the menus and such? I think there is a small delay as the s4 needs time to load? sometimes? compared. I also sense s4 doesn't respond to super touch sensitivity compared to a cell phone?
I'd like a review between the 4 and 6gb model.

hello i'm in canada and planning to get the verizon version . but do it has the dial pad as the international and if yes have you tried to change the csc to remove verizon bloatware?

It does not have any dial pad. I think you're asking if it has the voice radios to use like a regular cellphone. I would guess NO as I've never seen that on a US model since the original Galaxy Tab (7inch), and that one required root and updated modem drivers to work.
For international. I've not seen it since the Tab S2. (Though the post above mentions that the Korean version does, pictures do not have earpiece speaker though)
As for bloatware, it is pretty light on bloat. Honestly, more Samsung bloat than Verizon bloat. I didn't csc, but I did promptly disable the MyVerizon app, Verizon security & privacy, samsung email & cloud, google gmail (I use google inbox).
I have never had the 4gb version, only the 6gb version. I do however have the note9 and the 6gb version tablet. They are at the very least equal in speed. I love the tablet and see no lag whatsoever. If I knew what i know now, I would have only bought the tablet. There are practical applications for the phone only; like size, but phone calls are crisp (tmobile) on the tablet. I have not taken it out of the keyboard case since day one. I have a pretty powerful windows computer with 16gb of ram and it has not been getting any use since I took this tablet out of the box. Everyone in my house is trying to get their hands on it. I bought a bluetooth mouse. It is a computer now, and a very fast one. If i hadn't turned in my note5 and tied to 2 years of credits. I would sell the note 9.
