I have a T-Mobile Version of HTC Touch Pro 2.
Can somebody please confirm if this mobile will work with 3G Asian Bands ??
or
In simple words, can i use the 3G Feature available in countries like India or Singapore with the T-Mobiles version of HTC Touch Pro 2 ???
Please advise !!!!
PS : And forgive me if this question is a repeat from earlier threads. I read few threads. But i didnt see a definite answer for this.
AFAIK T-Mobile TP2 uses UMTS 1700/2100.
According to http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/cou_in.shtml there is no 3G network in India yet.
And for Singapore http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/cou_sg.shtml 3G is available on 2100.
3G in India
Yes - We do have 3G services in India. Iam not even looking at the link that you gave.
Iam quiet sure, BSNL India is offering various 3G services from Corporate Services to DATA transfer services.
I may be wrong, But to my knowledge, we do have 3G servies here for over 12 months...
I agree... I can't see India not having 3G. Sounds like the GSM alliance needs to update their site.

Well, their site also says that T-Mobile doesn't have 3G.
Wikipedia Data
Data from Wikipedia -

This is my understanding...
T0 my knowledge,
Universal 3G Standard is UMTS2100. Tmobile Touch Pro 2 supports that anyway.
Not just for US, But also for most of the other countries UMTS2100 is a standard 3G path.
IT SHOULD WORK FINE ACROSS THE WORLD. UK VODAPHONE provide 3G access via UMTS2100. I havent read the details for BSNL 3G service in India, becos i didnt find the details anywhere ! But one of my friend who bought a same Tmobile's Android version phone works fine with BSNL's 3G. Iam quiet sure BSNL uses the same thingy....
And to quote another example, 3 Top mobile operators in Singapore (ASIA) --- * Mobile One, * StarHub and * Singapore Telecom Mobile Pvt. Ltd., offer 3G at UMTS 2100.
As a matter of fact, with respect to design - Tmobile offering of Touch Pro 2 is more reliable and more sturdy than the original version of TP2. It is just the fanciness that takes lead for the original version which are more prone to scratches.
I may be wrong.... Please let me know if you have more details and correct me if iam wrong................

T-Mobile version has band I and IV, that it can be used in Asia.

Thank you so much for your answer on this.
I assumed that. But some folks here and outside this community were broadcasting that US version phones wont work in Asia and Europe.
Even one member in this forum PM'ed me tht Tmobiles version wont work in Asia.
thanks for ur time to get me an reply on this sir...
i see specs: 1700/2100, and it is 2100 band in europe

From what I understand the 2100 frequency band in Europe is different than the one in the US. Typically 3G needs both freqs (1700 & 2100) to work properly.
So I don't think you'll get 3G in Europe from a TMo US TP2. Just my take.
Cyph
I second that, in TMO US3G u need 1700/2100 to work.
I actually heard that it did work just fine over there, with an international phone (such as the TP2), but just keep in mind, I've heard stories of people leaving on their data connection and coming back to the US with a bill at about $2,000.
So are we all just going to assume that the original poster is referring to TMobile US ?
I mean, his location is not US and TMobile is a German company that has interests all over the world.
This board may have the rule that you should post in English but there is a world (most of it in fact) outside the USA you know.
Or do you, it's questionable

He's quoting specs for T-MoUSA 3G bands 1700/2100 -- only T-Mo USA runs 3G on that pair of bands. What else can we assume other than T-Mo USA???
Obviously that assumtion has absolutely nothing to do with the language he's post in since everyone from China to Chile post in English here.
Assume you knew that...or do you?
I'm not criticizing the language posts are made in. Of course English is the world language (although Spanish is the language spoken by the largest number of countries).
I am criticizing the fact that it only seems to be posters from the US who will fail to mention which country their mobile network is from. Especially TMobile users since that company has interests in a number of countries under the same name. And then the people who reply all assume that they're talking about the US.
I mean, someone from Germany would have mentioned that they're on TMobile Germany, for instance
Seems a rather inwards looking attitude when this is an international board. A quick look on the Google machine will show that US mobile networks don't make up a very large percentage of the total world usage
yeah, guys, im speaking about tmous tp2
since 3g in kazakhstan is planning to start working by 2nd Q 2010, im asking about the ability of its usage on my device.
and yes, ive heard about 2100 band is only for download, and 1700 is necessary anyway. so, im asking to ensure its true. and it will be very pity if it is.

No, you're wrong -- most posters don't explicitly mention in their post where they're located (including you). Many people already have it included in the info in the upper right of the post -- including me. And yet you say that that USA posters don't indicate where they're located. Is there a piece of dirt or food on your monitor covering the spot where my location says "Bend, Oregon" and the USA flag is showing???
Seems like it would be best if personal-political attitudes could be kept out of this nice forum. You know...there are forums about politics where you might be able to contribute.
Yes, 3G works in Germany and EU

To answer your question, YES, 3G works here in Germany. When I got my TMoUS TP2 shipped to me in September, I put my DE T-Mobile SIM in it, and it worked out-of-the-box, no SIM unlock needed. I live near Mainz and travel to Frankfurt, and get 3G connections all the time.
Hopefully this helps answer your question.
Cheers!
Lando
thank you guys, that was what i wanted to hear
germany and turkey are using euro 3g bands, so it will work in kazakhstan as well

I have no idea how you have managed to drag politics into this. I have said what I think is a problem and how it might be improved. I have not given my details here because they're not important here. I get a local network sim whenever I land and so my questions aren't necessarily all based around a single country or network.
Are people from Bend referred as "Benders"? lol

Saying that personal-political attitudes should be kept out of these forums is a personal-political attitude.
21 so far... To even use this site, I would need a 2 foot lcd screen on the phone. Is this site still for phones anymore??
It is too structured. It will hinder collaboration. And it's unnecessary. For example the segregated area for tmobile, atnt, and i9505 is for the same exact gsm handset variant. Each of these has 5 forums. Sometimes roms are gsm and cdma compatible. It makes more sense to add another 5 forums for that

in fact all these variants arnt so smilar , different bootloader etc - and aalooooooooooottttt noobs that dont even try to search and post everything everywhere and blame everyone for brick or bootloop.
Soon wwe will see another variant - google gs 4
Its a shame that US carriers want and need different handsets /specs as rest of the world ....
Thanks OP, for the info...
hello everyone
first off it's been a while since i have been on the xda forums so please move or delete the thread if it's not ok.
i did search for this topic in forums and google'd it also but couldn't find this specific situation.
first off i'm from europe, but have been studying in the US for about 2 years now.
i'm using t-mobile in the US as carrier and that's why i posted it in the t-mobile forum here.
my family wants to give me a galaxy s4 for my birthday but i don't know whether or not it would work with the 4g bands of t-mobile in the US.
i know they refarmed the frequencies and i do have 4g with my iphone5 (which i bought in the US).
according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_US#4G_LTE_upgrade t-mobile is using the 850/1700/1900/2100 bands.
compared to this http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Term_Evolution#Deutschland which are bands 3 / 7 / 20
on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-UTRA#Frequency_bands_and_channel_bandwidths the Channel
Bandwidths (MHz) are the same, but the channels are different (3 <-> 4)
now my question:
does anyone know if i can use the german phone with the t-mobile plan same frequency or won't it work since the channels are different ?
thanks in advance

As per my understanding -
The hardware of the galaxy watch remains same whether it is purchased in one country or the other.
Samsung might have made some changes in the firmware which are region specific.
But, then LTE functionality (if enabled) is not expected to behave differently with respect to the region/country.
I am saying so because this is what we find in our smartphones. If my smartphone works in the home country then i expect it to work in a foreign country as well.
Then, why is it so that a LTE galaxy watch purchased in USA will not support mobile carriers in an Asian country?
Please correct, if my understanding is faulty.
