Gsm or cdma?

Ok I have a tmobile us g2 I'm lookin for the latest radio to flash with my supervillian Rom. But they say make sure its a gsm hero not a cdma..... how do I know witch I have?

You can rest assured knowing you have GSM..
Your looking in the wrong forum i guess... You say 'GSM or CDMA Hero' (Hero is also a G2 Touch... ) don't flash either of those radio's you'll brick your phone.... I think
this is the forum for the G2/Desire Z (HTC Vision), not the G2 Touch.
the G2/Desire Z comes only in GSM versions afaik...
and just for future reference as you go along. Typical CDMA devices do not have a sim card (unless they are global roaming on GSM). GSM phones have a SIM card.
Thanks guys!

WCMDA is one of the air interface standards for UMTS (so simplistically, it signifies the 3G radio while GSM represents the 2G radio).
WCDMA is a completely different standard than CDMA (and actually competes with CDMA's 3G successor, CDMA2000).

Desire HD has a baseband that 1 of the frequency for 3G(WCDMA) is 2100MHz. I believe that is 1 of the 3G frequency that T-Mobile US uses. So if u r in a state in US that the T-Mobile base station outputs 2100MHz as their 3G frequency, u should be good.

UK HTC desire HD work in USA on pay as you go 3g data

I plan on getting a pay as you go sim card when i go to the states but I'm reading conflicting info regarding if my uk desire HD will work in USA on 3g data as different frequency.
Although apparently some carriers in USA use same as UK frequency for 3g data.
Can anyone clear this up?
Thanks in advance

We use band 1900 in the states. Europe uses 2100. I do not think you will get anything other than edge.

Tmo uses 1700/2100 for 3g, but both must be supported for it to work. They are also ref arming their 1900mhz for 3g but the euro dhd doesn't have the bands for it. Only 2g

[Q] 3G not working on my DHD/inspire 4G

Whether ur phone is Desire HD or inspire 4g and are u from india. If inspire 4g, then 3g won't work in India as the inspire uses different network bandwidth than present in India.

hey OP, welcome to the forums.
I would change your username as it is your googlemail account and can be used for malicious purposes.
Secondly I don;'t believe that the IG4 works in India
Third, have you tried a different ROM or a full wipe?
Inspire 4G works like a charm in India including 3G. I have used it. Please mention your carrier. Many 3G carriers are providing connectivity problems in India right now.

Airtel does not have its own 3G footprint in Gujarat, it connects to !dea cellular 3G when a subscriber attempts a connection. Try a different 3G SIM of Gujarat like !dea or Tata Docomo.

There is difference in Network
HTC Inspire 4G
HSPA+ 850/1900MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
HTC Desire HD
Europe:
•HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
•GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Asia Pacific:
•HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
•GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
So if you have Inspire 4g then you will not get 3g network in India.

What kind of ROM are you using?
i´m using cyanogenmod 11 2014-01-22 unofficial-vision, i tried with this command (*#*#4636#*#*) to change de base band frecuency and nothing.
Do you have a g2 or desirez, they use different frequencies. You can check with your carrier to see what bands you use and match this to gsm arena to see if its compatible

really i got a t-mobile g2 . and i compare the bands with mi actual carrier, but in the options i can select 2G/3G data, and i got 3G/WCDMA network select but no data, just EDGE.
So your carrier uses 1700 and 2100 bands?

If your carrier runs on the same frequencies as AT&T US does, you're not gonna have anything other than Edge data. I use them on a T-Mobile G2, which is how I know firsthand .
