[Q] Desire z with AT&T bands? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to find a good phone for my GF and I need one that uses at&t bands for 3g
I saw this phones and it looks perfect for her... but I need to know which model has those bands...
can someone help me with this? please? =)

i think that by flashing an radio from bell from Canada it would do the trick BUT I'm not sure of it so it would be best for you to get an Desire HD/ Inspire 4G that it's more or less the same hardware just with no keyboard.

The thing is... I want it to have a keyboard =P

This won't work -- frequency support is set at the factory and cannot be changed. You need to actually get the Bell version of the Desire Z (model: A7275).

HTC Touch Pro 2 running on HSDPA 850MHz 3G network

I know my question might be really stuppid but anybody knows if there is any software (ROM) possibility to make the HTC TP2 run on the HSDPA 850MHz? I have just bought one that might arrive next week but I guess I will need to change my carrier.

no there isnt and will not be until a US carrier takes the device. That will not be a rom change either, they will have the radio enabled which only HTC can allow
Thanks a lot.
Wait for At&T to release??
Safe to assume the same as touchpro/fuze? Have different chipset for 850 networks?

Hi Mallman,
I already got the Touch Pro2, but I'm unable to get signal on 850. Would it be possible to change the radio once it is released for US carrier?
I'm using the phone on Mexico with the carrier Telcel. I'm only getting Edge.

Sorry for asking. Did i understood correctly, that T won't let you use 3G unless phone is purchased from them?

Tmo has a weird 3G frequency, and this phone's radio doesn't support it.

HTC desire and Tmobile
So if i understand it correctly,
Desire is NOT coming to T mobile for Sure ..
It will not work with T mobile frequencies, esp 3G network
which carrier will it work with ... better not AT&T
so basically no point of buying an unlocked phone then ..

It is rumored that AT&T will get the Desire. Wait it out until April-June. Also, if Telstra gets the Desire, AT&T customers can POSSIBLY import one and MAYBE catch 3G.
As far as "T" goes, I don't know if they will get the Desire since...well...there is the NX-1.
Either way, you will not be able to get 3G speed if you import the Desire. So if you want 3G, go with the Nexus. If not...go with the Desire
Does T-Mo UK have the same 3G frequencies and whatnot as T-Mo US? Because according to MoDaCo's webiste, T-Mo UK IS getting the Desire. So if T-Mo US doesn't, we could always import and throw in our sim cards :]

The UK Desire wont work on US TMo 3G. Its radio only does 2100/900 and 2100 is what TMo UK uses. TMo US uses the 1700 frequency. Ironic that the Nexus 1 radio does 1700/2100/900 so it works on TMo UK 3G.

Gay t&t also has the nexus one so if it comes to the US hopefully it will be on T-Mobile

CDMA Desire - Any Custom ROMs yet?

I noticed everything in this Desire section is related to the GSM Desire. Are there any custom ROMs yet for the CDMA Desire? I was to get the Clockworkmod recovery to boot from an update.zip and that appears to work ok but every Desire ROM I've tried refuses to boot.
I can't seem to find much information at all about the CDMA Desire via searching the forums or just searching on Google. From what I can tell all the hardware specifications are the same except for the radio (CDMA vs GSM). Might it be possible that current ROMs built for the GSM Desire will work for the CDMA version if a custom kernel for CDMA is compiled?
I wasn't even aware that a CDMA Desire existed!
Regards,
Dave
There was an Australian desire version. That's the only I can think about.
There is supposed to be an US version, but I think it's not available yet.

I have a desire in South Korea that has a WCDMA sim card in it running on the SK Telecom network. Are we saying that android 2.2 port that the devs here created will only work on GSM desires? Also, does anyone know if I use an unlock code on my phone if it disrupt my service?
Sounds to me like you have a regular Desire because WCDMA is part of the GSM standard for 3G!
Regards,
Dave
No CDMA Desire out there. You guys already have the Incredible, the Evo and Droid X that don't work anywhere else but America and you want more still?
Like Dave says WCDMA is a different variant/name of the 3G network.
Strange that the Roms aren't working for you. The innards should be the same inside.

I have a CDMA Desire. It's a test unit for one of the smaller carriers in the states (I'm not in the states) I'm using as an internet tablet/android plaything. If you guys want to know anything about it let me know.
The CDMA Desire has launched on U.S. regional carrier U.S. Cellular. Here's a link. I'll be picking one up tomorrow.

I'll be getting one in a couple of months. I'm curious if rooting/custom roms will work normally on it.
CDMA Desire
I have heard that Mighty Mike @ Mightyrom.com is working on a Desire Rom with 2.2!
Hes on Telus but his Touch Pro 2 Roms worked on US Celular!

The Telus Touch Pro 2 is a CDMA phone and so is the USC version. So it makes sense the ROMs would be compatible.
The Telus Desire is a GSM/HSPA phone - Telus launched an HSPA network in late 2009 and they're slowly trying to make their old CDMA network irrelevant. I can almost certainly guarantee you that his Desire ROM *won't* work on a CDMA Desire.
Well that would suck!

I am pretty sure we will not see any custom roms for our desires. However, thats not all that bad. If we can just get root. Then we can uninstall what we want, tweak what we want, Install wifi teather, etc..
I still think we can be rooted in almost the same manner as the incredible. Damn near exactly the same phone.
Anyone know how to get ahold of the unrevoked team? maybe they can help. They seem to root everything.

[Q] US Provider for European Desire

Hi there, I gonna be in the US for one year and plan to bring my desire with me. Is there an american provider using frequencies the european desire is capable of?
Is it possible to chance supported frequencies by flashing another radio or are they hardware fixed?

I think T-Mobile. You should check with them. Anyways the Desire is quad-band so you are in a good position to find a carrier.
Sry i forgot to mention that I am mainly concerned about 3G. Calling and texting shouldn't be a problem anywhere but I would really like to use a dataplan and use 3G.

Question about Desire Z (AT&T bands)

I was thinking about buying a Desire Z so I can use it with AT&T 3G (850/1900 bands)
Does it matter which Desire Z I buy? I know it obviously cannot be the G2, but does it matter if it's the Bell version or a Canadian one.
Thanks for any help XDA!
P.S. If I got a Desire Z with AT&T 3G, I could use it with the dumb - fone unlimited da,ta plan right?
Well technically the Bell version is Canadian. But you need to get the A7275 model number, or Bell Canada version as you said. Only this model will work for AT&T.
Also, it's seems to be luck of the draw with the dumb phone unlimited data. Some say that they don't get caught because AT&T can't see what kind of phone it is because it isn't an AT&T phone. Others say that they get caught anyways. I don't think there is a definite answer to that one.
I believe there is also a UK version.. would that work with AT&T 3G?
