Well, I don't have a rooted phone, and it didn't come with the option for 3G.. So I was wondering can my unrooted HTC wildfire get 3G?? ( If so can you help?)

You'll need to describe your problem more clearly for some help. Maybe some screenshots or an accurate description on what isn't working.

Hello,
The Wildfire S has 3G capability, may you be rooted or not.
If when you're connecting to mobile internet, a little "H" appears on the left of your battery, it means you're using the 3G network.

I don't know whether or nor the OP is using a Wildfire S for the first time, therefore am just giving an easy method for him to check if he is using 3G or not.

How can I take a screenshot? Also, I tried looking in Mobile settings but no 3G option or any G is there. There's no 'H' just bars and something saying what looks to be 'Ev' above arrows.

The 3G you are talking about is HSPA(H) which is a GSM technology............
Since your phone is a CDMA variant,the best it can use is EVDO......which is quite close to HSPA,call it CDMA 3G
Ohhh, x( okay then.. thanks anyways .. (clicked thanks )

EVDO is 3g

Hey guys, quick question. I can't get the "H" or 4G icon anymore. It stays at 3G no matter where I am, even on places I always got the H. I have tried several roms, no difference. I am on the sense 3.5 beta from virtuous right now. Any ideas?

Its only going to be on H/4G when actively using data; when not actively using data it will drop back down to 3G to save battery.

Thanks for the response, but I know. Usually it does, however, now it's not doing it.

Hi, I'm a bit confused on which I have, I got it in the mail with the tmobile rom and g2 hboot fully s-offed, new, only opened to s-off, but it came from hong kong in a black htc old box, it was supposed to be a desire z, but... it has the G2 keyboard, but the dz back and "with htc sense" label.. any clue?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
well other than the few things like the back cover wording and the tmobile words on the digitizer or htc or whatever, the only difference that matters is the hboot. it looks like it was a dz but know has a g2 hboot. so now it is a g2 for all that matters

That's what I'm thinking, my biggest hope is that it has the g2 bands, because I'm using straight talk, and think I need the tmo sim
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Well if you find that you have an FM radio in it, then it's DZ Hardware.
I don't know how you can tell the bands without first booting up into the phone and checking the about, but if you find it:
Desire Z - Band I: 900/2100 Mhz
G2 - Band IV: 1700/2100 Mhz
Maybe the serial number in the About Phone setting could help.
Though other sources say the G2 covers every bands TMobile uses currently:
Carrier: T-Mobile
2G Technology (Frequencies): GSM (850/900/1800/1900mhz)
3G Technology (Frequencies): HSDPA (850/900/1900/2100mhz)
4G Technology (Frequencies): HSDPA+ (1700/2100mhz)

Not sure, my Radio Serial # is
unknown / HT0A6R202086
and I'm using an actual G2 (but with a DZ hboot) on T-Mobile USA and I get 3G/H

not sure if having an fm radio or not is a good way of telling, I have a g2 and my fm radio works. I believe people with a dz also have a working radio but who know maybe they dont

I don't think it matters much, dosent the dz still have the same bands? as in a tmobile sim card should work no problem, find a buddy with tmobile and put the sim in and see what happens

Well battery plates are interchangeable, however it does say HTC along the top of the phone, though the keyboard appears same as my G2. I'm wondering if it's a re-furbished G2 with an DZ Digitizer and housing.
What does your hBoot say ? T-Mobile if I'm not mistaken have specific radio versions.
Here's my hboot

I did, and already seen that. I bought my phone in Thailand when it was completely new. I.e they imported it. So they could have gotten it from anywhere, including America.
And that leaves me back to still not know which model I have. Any other suggestions ?

try looking in settings/about phone. also turn off ur phone then hold volume down + power and that will bring up ur bootloader, more info there.

Pull the battery and look for the model number, ie: HTC Desire A818x
A8181 900/2100
A8182 850/1900
A8183 850/2100

I have the att variant of the m8 and I have to set my radio to wcdma only or my data is so inconsistent with dropouts that I can't use the phone. wcdma is very consistent and stable... But I also own an iPhone 5s and it has zero problems with a lte signal and it never drops. Is this a known issue with this phone? Wcdma is fine but obviously I'd rather be on lte... Its just in my area.... When I get close to a bigger city, lte works fine when I switch it back.

I think you've worked it out for yourself. With good coverage it works fine.
Maybe you are in a bit of a fringe area and the LTE signal drops in and out a bit?
