Develop Bugs

not sure if this is possible

hi guys, I am thinking about upgrading my phone from the vogue to the diamond or possibly the touch pro. the question I have is, Bell Mobility is likely to not get these phones. is there a way to add the Telus Mobility version onto my network? Would I get in trouble from my provider?

rules of cause change from country to country but
your service provider would be pretty mad to stop
people from using their own unlocked headsets

would any of the software conflict with a provider it was not meant for?d

Bell and Telus both use CDMA technology, and use the same towers. But I think it would pretty hard to get the Diamond unlocked and switched to Bell. Not real sure though.

well that is good to know, a little discouraging but at least I won't waste time and money. Maybe I will just wait for either Bell to get it or for them to get the new network for the Olympics.

CDMA..ouch; maybe you should change providers.

Sprint Touch Pro 2 UNLOCK!!

As its mentioned the sprint version is CDMA/GSM so is it possible to unlock the GSM of sprint version to use with other carriers?

There is a wealth of information on this subject in the Rhodium CDMA Portion of this forum.
It is being worked on, but is not finalized yet.

yes, at PPC Geeks they are working on it. I really want to see it work on the Verizon network. I hate carrying two phones around.

I am sorry it doesn't make senc eto say you want your sprint phone to work on verison both are cdma unlocking won't help you!

I want the sprint to work on other carriers because I live in turkey where the phone is not available yet.. and I currently only use gsm so cdma won't bother me too much for now if only the gsm could be unlocked and used untill the cmda is also unlocked.

You say you live in Turkey? Then a Sprint Touch Pro 2 will most definitely work because by default it's already unlocked to international gsm providers.

Aye - the dozens of threads containing this info say as follows:
the sprint 'touch pro 2' ships sim-unlocked however US sim carriers currently blocked
and lots of 'we're working on it'

Thank oyu very much for your replies.
I am happy to hear that it is possible to use in turkey, I found one on ebay and asked seller to be sure that it will work and when receive the answer i will purchase one right away ..

hey i'm in turkey and have the tmobile unlocked version and i tried putting a vodafone tr sim in and it worked for sms and internet but when i make a call it will either not go through or i ca't hear anything and the other person can't hear. anyone know what the problem is?

the most possible reason should be radio update

[Q] GSM Desire usable in the US?

Hello everyone,
i will be living in California from March to July and therefore i'd like to know if i can use my GSM Desire from Germany in the US?
I understand that in europe GSM is used and in the US mostly CDMA. I know there are GSM networks as well in the US.
I've read somewhere that i won't be able to use HSDPA in the US, but only EDGE. Is that true? It would be really annoying if it were.
And if so, is there a way to turn my GSM Desire into a CDMA Desire? Somehow flashing another RADIO oder whatever?
Thanks for all the answers!
Regards,
Muuhmann

i think t-mobile support the same frequency for there 3g/hsdpa as eu desires

Really? That would be awesome!
Can anyone using t-mobile usa confirm this?

Sorry to chime in a little late.
I moved from Belgium to the US bringing with me a European T-Mobile Germany Desire. It works fine on the T-Mobile USA network, the only problem is that I can't get 3G or 4G to work. The only way so far to get internet access on my phone is through wifi.
I read somewhere that 2G is supposed to be supported but I came here on these forums to find out how and why, because I can't make it work..
Hope this is somehow helpful..

Hi chbau,
thanks for letting me know.
3G and 4G (that would be the "H"-symbol, right?) aren't working, if I understand you correctly?
But in the next sentence you also say that you don't get 2G (that would be the "E"-symbol) to work, am i correct?
That would be a real pain in the a**. That would mean no mobile internet.

Using Your Xperia M Abroad

I just moved to Canada and can't use my phone so much here. I bought it in Europe. One person working for a network here said that if it's bought in Europe, then it's a GSM version only and only Rogers and Fido support that. I'm so surprised. I thought the phone was quadband? I thought all smartphones were tri or quadband?
Has anyone else had this issue? Is it true what the shop person said? Other people with other networks said it definitely won't work on their network. But It is a factory unlocked phone...:crying:
I have the C1905 version. I see on eBay the US/Candian one is C1904. Maybe I'll buy a cheap C1904? How can I be sure? I don't want to waste money. I asked Sony and they basically said they 'can't be sure'.

As far as I know, only 3G network frequencies differ between C1904/C2004 and C1905/C2005. In 2G network it should work fine, since all variants are quadband...

I have looked into this and that is indeed the problem, 3G is the only spectrum that doesn't work. Having just moved abroad AND chosen a plan with data included, I really needed Google Maps. Oh well. It's a big surprise with this phone. I'll have to buy a new one so I can access data again.

[Q] Stupid question EU on US

Hi all,
I've bought a EU M8 mobile...I think it's EU as I bought in Dubai.
Sooner I will relocate in US and I've just realised that my mobile potentially could not work there ....is this true?
How can I check?
Thank you in advance for your help.

If it's eu, it'll work fine but I don't think you'll get LTE. I may be wrong. But it'll work

As stated it'll work fine, I know from experience! (Not re-location but hey). I'm not sure about 4G/LTE though.

Thank you and sorry for the delay.
I can't understand why it should not work 4G/LTE.
Are you saying that HTC makes two different model with different frequencies/bands??!?
my phone is actually completely unlock and not branded. if i buy a new US sim cards why do you think that 4G/LTE wont work?

HTC does make two different models(GSM & CDMA). I don't think the frequency/bands on the GSM phone you have will matter much. As I understand it the Qualcomm RF360 Front End solution chip has 40+ bands on the chip exactly for this reason. It makes it more "Global", it should already be capable of receiving 4G/LTE on most frequency/bands available in pretty much any country.
I think the only thing that perhaps influences it is carrier specific requests to lock to certain bands... Probably for roaming purposes and to get more money. But a carrier free device like you have shouldn't have a problem to work(Even LTE) in the US if you insert a local SIM card for it.
But that's just how I understand it from a quick look up I did some time ago, can't know all the details though. You could probably read up more on it for yourself if you're interested.
Qualcomm RF360 front end solution

thank you BerndM14!!
you clearly explain what was in my mind.
i can understand if some locked/carrier phone could have some problem but i would be surprised to discover that a brand new mobile such this will have issue to work overthere.
i'm searching the web as well but it's quite difficult to find clear answer.
i'm just wondering if in case there is some "lock" if those are bypassable flashing a different radio rom

sorry for my bad English
maybe I m wrong (but that is what I have to say as Vodafone Germany employee to my customers)
the One M8 will work fine with US LTE bands cause the EU and the US M8 are technically the same.
that's also the reason why it´s works not with any European LTE network outside Germany
