should work fine, they both belong to the asia region, you may have to check the radio frequencies of the service provider you wish to use if you want 3G, but as a standard 2G device there will be no problems

I think it could be SIM locked though. That can be changed using tools like gfree.

Thanks for quick reply. I asked my friend to buy unlocked version. It seems to be little cheaper than in India.
cheers,
Venkat

in any case, you always could root and flash a new radio to work properly in your service provider, =o)... i bought mine from singapore too and works fine here in Brazil, so i really believe there's no problem to get it in India....

Claro Edge + CM7 RC1
thiagodark what version are you using for the radio ? I can make my connection to be stable with Claro at Brazil.
The data connection always run with edge, I'm using this version for the radio 12.28b.60.140eP_26.03.02.15_M3. A already try other radio version and only works with the Stock OS, but for a couple of minutes.
Any help for this ?
Thanks,

Query Regarding Getting the Desire from London

Well the topic is about the Desire and how to get it but I was not sure which forum to put it in so posted it here.
Well my Brother is moving to London for 2 years. Now he has his N95 (unlocked) which he would like to continue using as he has his paid apps installed on it and stuff.
Now he's getting a HTC Desire on contract. So If he uses the Contract Sim in his N95 and sends back the Desire to me here in India, I could unlock it and use it with any data carrier here in India right?
Yes you could unlock / debrand the Desire and use it on another network.

you will be able to use it no probs in india, you may want to check with the network you use in india and make sure that they use a compatible 3g band if that is important to you

He will be either on T Mobile or Vodafone
The network won't care right even if he's using his contract sim in his other unlocked phone?

Well I use vodafone here and as of yet there is no 3G so it might not make a differrnce. Any idea what 3G band is used in India though?

Thank you
Oh and one more thing.
Some guy on tech enclave was saying that if you unlock your phone using the unlock code the phone will once again get locked after I update my phone software to Froyo.
Is that true? I thought this only happened in iPhones? If it's true what are my alternative means of unlocking?
Thank you everyone
Simply re use the same unlock code you originally used to unlock the phone and you'll be fine.

That would work right? Or will they not let you re use the same code?
It worked for me when my phone was re locked after debranding, its worked for others on here too.

[Q] Using Captivate Glide in Europe?

As there seems no progress from the Samsung side to get the Captivate Glide to Europe, I thought about just buying one online from the USA. The question is whether it will work
From the specs it should support the european GSM and UMTS frequencies just fine. The AT&T branding is something I can live with, if it does not mean the device is locked to AT&T
So just to be sure: will the Glide work in Europe with my Vodafone.DE SIM?
Please say yes
You have to unlock it... sorry

Or is the AT&T version easy to unlock?
Both are easy, just use the Galaxy S unlock app in the market!

Use the one by helroz, I used it on 3 different SGS devices and working. And the good thing is, you can re-lock the device just by re-flashing the stock ROM.

I've used the helroz app to unlock four of the original Captivates, but on my Glide it reboots during step two. I've rolled back to busybox 1.17.1 and I've checked the read/write permissions of the efs folder but it reboots the phone each time and the phone is still showing up locked. Any advice?

Using Samsung Captivate Glide in Germany
Hello,
I got a Samsung Captivate Glide from the US and an unlock code from eBay Member american_unlocker. Works like a charm. Now I use the Captivate Glide with the E-Plus network in Germany. There are of course some problems with the software. Some of the AT&T Software doesn't work without a AT&T Number. The Media Hub doesn't work either. And google books also can't find a lot of books. Thats a problem of the German IP. But all other things are very fine.

Try flashing the Rogers kernel and ROM and see if it is better for you. The A&T specific software you can ignore since it is bloatware.
Hello,
thanks yes I will do some ROM flashing now! Android is really great and for Linux users not so difficult to understand !
Yes the AT&The stuff is really irritating. Hopefully tethering will work then.
I purchased a AT&T Samsung Captivate Glide and got the unlock code from cellunlocker.net
Took 5mins to get the unlock code emailed to me and cost $28.99 USD. Could of got one cheaper on eBay but alot say they will only mail as email is against eBay policy.

You should definitely try Rogers ROM. AT&T ROM doesn't allow you to select GSM networks manually and you may have problems when roaming.
Where and how did you guys bought the Glide? Can you get it shipped to Europe?

Europe!!

Hi everyone.. I'm planning on going to Europe this summer and I wanted to ask if anyone knows if my phone will work with European 3g... Thanks
Btw.. I already have my sim unlock code from t-mobile..
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
You should be good. I went to the UK and Singapore with an unlocked Nexus One and it worked great. Just got my unlock code for my T989 as I have a trip to Sweden in 2 weeks. I used Giff-Gaff in the UK and Starhub in Singapore. Study the carriers frequencies before you go and buy a pre-paid sim and you will be good to go.

This phone is not pentaband which means it isn't guaranteed to work on 3g for all carriers. It does have 4 of all 5 bands, the only one you're missing is 900mhz so depending on where in Europe you're going you'll have 3g. You'll have to check the specific carrier you plan on using and as long as they support one of the bands, you'll be fine. (meaning they don't only use the 900 bands for 3g)
This will help. Still trying to find the site I used that told the carriers frequencies.

If you have an att logo, then I am afraid that it is an inspire 4g and not a dhd. So, probably you won't have 3g on,Europe. Make sure in about phone.

that does not exist. Dhd is not att branded, inspire 4g is. Changing radios won't solve the issue, because it is hardware issue and not software.

I am not sure, but if the device has an att logo at the back, is definitely an Inspire 4G. You can set that to say Desire HD in about phone if the phone was rooted by modifiying the build.prop.
Check your apn setting with your carrier, if it is well set and you have no 3G, then ask the seller.
