Touch Pro2 in stock on expansys-us.com

I just saw this on expansys-usa with 17 Touch Pro2 in stock. The details sheet seems to be a world phone. Below is the link. Does anyone know if this unit would work on AT&T 3G network in the US?

This has already been answered before.
The Rhodium they are selling only supports 900 MHz and 2100 MHz for 3G/HSPA. AT&T requires either 850 MHz or 1900 MHz. So the clear answer is No, it will not work with AT&T 3G.
To answer the obvious question somebody else will ask next, the 2100 MHz band is used in T-Mobile's 3G network, however TMo's network requires that the phone support both 1700MHz AND 2100MHz for the up and down streams, so this phone will not function with the US T-Mobile 3G Network either.
The phone WILL function for making calls or data connections over the Edge bands (GSM/GPRS/EDGE) for both US providers...So the phone is certainly functional, but it won't make high speed data connections in the United States.

Regarding Custom ROMS

Hi there
Firstly.. No, this is not a typical noobie thread asking for the best custom ROM out there, as I know it's related to personal preference. My problem is that I have a download limit, so I can not test out every ROM I'd like to.
A solution to this problem would be if you guys could recommend a few of the fastest ROMs for me, in your experiences (I'm not so interested in eye candy, more usability.. and most importantly I want it AS SMOOOOOTH AS POSSIBLE, I love smoooothness ) After a few ROMs are recommended I'll have a better picture of what to check out and what to download and I won't be wasting toomuch of my download limit.
Thanks in advance

Why do you have a download limit? What is your limit?

I live in South Africa where not everyone has unlimited internet.. My download limit is 5gb a month (but thats for my whole family...) , but I'm pretty close to blowing it :-/

C'mon, can't anyone help me out here?

I think you should start a new thread (search first) entitled "Fastest Custom ROM?" That will get a discussion started, and people who are interested in the subject will see the title and post their opinions.

I'll try that.. I wanted to avoid that though, 'cause I didn't want this to be those typical "What is the best custom ROM?" threads, and recieve the typical reply of "There is no best custom ROM"

Just sort the forum by the ROM w/ the most posts or views. If you go with those they will most likely be the most tested, have more user support/solution, and they have gone through a couple different versions.

Yes, but the specific question is which is the FASTEST ROM.

I tried a couple roms and decided I hated 6.5, so I cannot say for sure...but I can point you in a direction to check threads...
Energy, Cell, Josh, and DeepShining have all had very positive responses, and speed is something commonly mentioned among the pluses.
I hope this helps. Perhaps reading those particular threads can help you decide before wasting bandwidth.

In other words it is literally impossible to tell. The fastest ROM will be a today screen or titanium with no mods, it really boils down to what you want your phone to do though. I personally like eye candy and stability, you can see what I've chosen below for those. Don't get me wrong, it is still pretty fast, just not as fast as a bone stock ROM would be. I'd be willing to download, burn, and send a DVD full of ROMs, let me know.

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I've reached my download limit lol.. I'm posting this from my phone's internet.
WOW! That DVD would be TRULY awesome, and I'd REALLY REALLY appreciate it. How can we go about doing this kind sir?

I have tested out LOADS of ROMs.
But I always go back to one in particular,
Touch X "SENSE 2.0B X-TREME"
Now unfortunately this ROM has been dis-continued.
But 2.0 is still available for download:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575747
For speed its great. If I have no today plugin running when i soft reset, there's only 36% memory usage.
Manilla reaps the memory a bit, having around 50% memory usage after soft reset.
Which is why I use other today plugins like 'iphone today' and 'throttlelauncher'
Over all its the the best (in my personal opinion mind)
And its not littered with unnecessary apps

[Q] Just a little help with the quadband

hey guys.. ordered an unlocked G2 from ebay. Just a quick question, will the phone work here in the PHILIPPINES? knowing that the phone is quadband.. I just want to make sure.. so any answers? appreciate it guys.. lotsa thanks!

The quad band refers to the GSM frequencies, so, yes, it will work for talking on the phone. Data and email are another matter. The phone is Dual band, UMTS 1700 2100 MHz, and HSPA+. This means that your data network has to be be on the 1700 and 2100 MHz frequencies, or else, you'll have an expensive phone with no 3G/4G data.
Edge (2G) data will work, if that is supported by your network.

thanks for the quick reply bro.. i learned that my local carrier's 3G frequency band (UMTS) is 2100 MHz.. I assume my phone will support the 3G capabilities of my network if that is the case. Am I right? appreciate your next reply

[Q] Convert F180K to F180S

Hello guys.. i have a problem.. I have a optimus G with soft F180K (its for KT network) and i have a LTE plan in SKtelecom (F180S) but my LTE connection its not working. Can somebody help me by answering to this questions?
If i flash the F180S will solve my problem? Its this even possible? If yes, can somebody point me to the right way ?
Thanks in advance.

completition
So guys to complete a little the status of my phone.. i have root access.. also CWM installed.. my question is if i install a custom rom i will get access to more bands for LTE or the device is limited somehow..
thanks..

confirm your in Korea ? right
i have flashed a basebands of k to l and l to K so i can confirm, its save but i didnt got the signals.
flashing kernel should be ok too because its the same device
so i say yes you can flash, but if both networks uses same lte frequencies it will work with proper apn, other wise no.

yes im on korean network. im not sure if both work on same lte frequencies . the apn its not a problem, i have .. but atm it shows connecting to 4G but no data in... so something its wrong.. i think its software related .. i can connect to 3G but no 4G..my phone have for LTE B3 (1800) and B8 (900).. by installing a custom rom will abtain more freq.. ? or ill have to do more than that,, and if yes what i need to do ? one link yould be nice noob friendly if possible
thanks..

1: it has to be apn if your 3g works
2: software doesn't enable somethings that's not there in hardware, so if both sets have same frequencies radio and both networks uses same it will work.
skip custom and flash stock roms and if you get zero network that try your model's baseband.
but remember it is possible basebands are blocked to work on others network.

Thanks.

its because of what i marked in red _

Nope,you can't enable other frequencies. That's why there are so many variants of optimus G. There is no phone supporting all LTE from al regions.Unlike 2G/3G,which have a global standard,LTE is still young,evolving and developing.

4G problem

Hello community what a great help can someone found from here ... so here we go ...
My problem is i turn on my mobile data to get 4g then stay's for a while but then it dissapears and then drops down to E and it wont change from there ... and in order to bring back the 4G i need to restart the phone or to shut it down and turn it on again ...
do i need to change my rom or i need to change / flash my radio ? rom is the stock rom i think i got on it ( 5.0.1 sense 6.0 )

thx in advance

That doesn't tell me what band MTN uses for LTE (4G). You should call your carrier and ask them (and confirm they use 2100 MHz for 3G).

I take this to mean 900 and 1800 MHz (bands 8 and 3), rather than the way you have it typed "from 900 - 1800" which makes it sound like a range, which doesn't make any sense.
I also don't think this information is correct (as I've interpreted it), as far as I can tell, 1800 MHz (Band 3) is not used for 3G anywhere in the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands#Deployments_by_region_.28UMTS-FDD.29
You need to be sure of exactly what band is used for each (2G, 3G, LTE), before we can proceed:
What band (or bands) used for 2G?
What band (or bands) used for 3G?
What band (or bands) used for LTE?
It pretty rare that the same exact band or bands are used for all 3 (2G, 3G and LTE) by one carrier, so the answer is expected to be different for each, and should be asked, and answered on an individual basis.
Reason we need to be so specific here, is that there is no radio for this phone that supports Bands 3 and 8 across 2G, 3G and LTE (and in fact, no radio that supports Band 3 for 3G).
Once you've properly determined what bands are needed, and identified what M8 version supports those bands, the way to proceed would be:
1) S-off by sunshine
Note: If sunshine temp root doesn't work, you may need to unlock bootloader and root, before you can s-off with sunshin
2) Possibly need to change phone's CID and/or MID
3) Flash the firmware or RUU which contains the desired radio baseband
Even then, its not guaranteed that LTE will work. I've see a good number of folks on these forums that properly flashed the radio baseband (or converted to another version by RUU) that supports the desired bands, but still didn't get LTE service. I don't know why this happens, and have never seen a solution. But its a distinct possibility.
But at a minimum, you should be able to get 3G working on your carrier. Which alone may make the above process worthwhile.

You need to specify exactly what you flashed, and where you got it from, for this info be worthwhile in any way.
Also, still need to know what bands your carrier is using, in order to determine what radio to flash.
Why you are flashing radios, without knowing if its the right one (supports your carrier's bands)? This is really careless and reckless.
Is the phone s-off? That is normally the only way you can flash radios manually (aside from a signed OTA, RUU, firmware.zip). And flashing things with s-off is a great way to brick the phone, if you flash the wrong thing (and it doesn't sound like you know well enough to know right vs. wrong).
