Hi, I have a Desire hd from at&t, it's debranded but I have no 3g internet connection only edge. I've tried to change radios and roms, but I haven't succeeded :/ what should I try? Thanks for your help
You have an Inspire 4G. It cannot receive 3G where you live, it doesn't have the correct hardware.

No it's not an inspire 4g because it has only 1,5 gb rom not 4 but it's a funny phone cause everything is like in other dhd-s but i have to flash the inspire audio fixes and this 3g problem is here too every multi device rom recognises it az desire hd too. :/ I don't know what to do with it. Thanks

You say its from att, so IT IS an inspire. The rom size is just BS by att. All ace devices have 1.5gb USER accessible rom. As biglittlegato said above its a hardware thing and their is nothing you can do to get 3g outside of north/south America and Australia.
All roms will show as desire HD unless the build prop has been edited to show inspire.

I am on at&t and I got A Inspire 4g it is is Great Condition no Scratches or anything it is only a month old and i was wandering if if any one would trade me a Canadian G2 so i can use At&ts 3g and since the inspire 4g is new and the G2 is getting dated i would need it to come unlocked so i can use it that is a must and preferably i want it rooted so if you are serious about this you can just reply to this thread and email me your phone number and if you want i will send you a picture of the inspire
bump for your cause.
There is no canadian g2. Chances are you won't get 3/4g with it on att anyways

I'm sure that is what he means as well. The Bell Desire Z is fully compatible with ATT's 3G network.

The Inspire is just the ATT branded version of the Desire HD, which came out around the same time as the Desire Z/G2. And both phones are fully compatible with ATT's HSPA+ "4G" network.
What don't you like about the Inspire? If its the lack of keyboard, you should try Swype. But you would have to play some games in order to get it loaded, since Swype is not a Market app.
Where are you located? In in Ventura CA and am kooking to trade for an Inspire 4g for ATT. I have the Desire Z unlocked on ATT. Its in great condition. Maybe we can figure something out.

I know that the inspire 4g is the same as the desire us I just
ment that the phone itself is new. And I am talking about the desire z
but I thought if I put that in my post nobody would look. The reason that
I want a g2 is that I just love the way it looks and I prefer a hardware
keyboard. And to the person that asked I live in Somerset,Ky Zip Code 42501
and of you are serious about the trade then private message me your
phone number and I will text you
Anyone know if there's a way to get 4G working with a UK Desire HD. The Desire HD came out before 4G was available in the UK but the US version is 4G compatible so i thought perhaps the device would have the capability to use 4G.
The us version isNOT 4g compatible. They just gave it the 4g name so people will buy it. Its the same as the dhd. I'd would call it 3.5g Max.
Now to your question. The answer is simply no. The hardware is just not there
Oh right. Well that's definitely false advertising. Nevermind.
You can edit the build.prop to gain faster speeds down and up.

Hi all,
I recently bought a new Desire HD from E-bay. Its an Unlocked AT&T phone, I'm in India and I'm right now using Tata Docomo. I couldn't able to use 3G, (2G sucks).
I searched internet and forum and found that I can enable it by "Menu - Settings - Wireless And Networks - Mobile Networks - Set Preferred Mode to WCDMA or GSM/WCDMA auto" But the problem is, There is no menu called "set preferred mode" in my phone. I tried changing all the mode in *#*#4636#*#* even after that I'm not getting 3G. My mobile is not rooted and Its using 2.3.3 Android.
Hope someone help me.
Regards,
Praveen
Unable to connect to 3G
I'm also facing the issue with 3G connection.
I checked my sim card with other mobiles with the same apn settings. It works well in other mobiles.
But in my HTC-DHD still 3G is not able to connect.
My version is 2.3.3.
I also tried updating to "Andriod Revolution DHD 7.1 ROM" also. Still the same 3G issue persist.
My mobile model shows as "A9191" which is compatible in India 3G.
Can anybody help me for identifying the problem?
Hi
Inspire 4g i.e. ATT works on different network band for 3g which is not same as the 3g network band in india. Hence you will not be able to use 3g with your handset on any of mobile providers in india.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
That's correct. The Inspire 4G supports 850 Mhz and 1900 Mhz 3G bands, while all the network providers in India use 2100 Mhz.
AT&T Desire HD = Inspire 4G

Thanks. I was planning to get an old Inspire 4G from my friend in the US, but it doesn't seem it would be any useful now (as I am a heavy user of 3G).
however, would it be possible if I root the ROM?

Rooting will not change the network band on your mobile. I am using inspire 4g rooted but i dont get 3g on Idea so better go for some other phone which supports 3g on 2100MHz band

The frequency band support of a phone depends on it's radio, and is hard-coded into it. Radio firmware can be changed, but the radio itself is not compatible. That's the problem. So even if you root the phone (which by itself does nothing other than grant you superuser access), unlock the bootloader and flash a different radio, it still won't work. Don't get the Inspire 4G. Even on eBay, it's low price may be tempting to many, but it's not worth it if it only supports 2G.

Read the above regarding radio. The ROM might show your phone as Desire HD A9191 in Settings->About, but the phone is actually Inspire 4G. If you got it from the US, and it has AT&T on the back, then it is Inspire 4G. There is no Desire HD for the US.

I just checked it as you suggested, I could not find AT&T logo.

I bought this phone from EBay. So I'm not sure whether its from US.
The "Settings->About" says "Desire HD A9191" & also I could not find any AT&T logo on it.
So I guess now I've Desire HD only
Do we have any other way to find confirm its "A9191" ?
BTW I flashed the recommended Radio today (Recommended for the Android Revolution DHD 7.1 ROM), but no luck. Still no 3G on my phone

Yes. I found the number as "PD98100" written in red color. [FCC ID: NM8PD98100]
Can we identify the actual model with this number?

Other network provider may be using frequency other than the 2100 MHz.

hi, I have installed JT R30 by RB on my DHD but 3G is not working. checked the APN setting, but no luck. do I need to install any Radio for 3G to work? right now its 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M. plz help. it did not work with ICS by blackout. :crying:
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.
