The forum you're looking for is here...

But to answer your question, no, neither the Teg3 One X (this forum) or the AT&T One XL support T-Mobile U.S'. AWS bands. There's a thread in the other forum where people are trying to get it to work on Wind Canada which is also AWS. No joy so far.

[Q] headed back to the U.S.

So...I am headed back to the U.S. permanently and wondering if there is a way to flash the radio to make it work on the U.S. 3G networks of either ATT or T-Mobile.... if not, no biggy...ill sell it and by a new one back home.
Thanks for any info you can give.
As far as I am aware mate as long as the desire has the capability of connecting to USA Phone Bands then it should just be a case of flashing the international ROM

That's the point - an A8181 doesn't support the 3G bands for any US GSM network. You would need an A8183 which at least works on AT&T, or a Nexus One on T-Mobile. If CDMA is your bag, your HTC choices are essentially the Evo on Sprint, or the Incredible on Verizon.

guess you will be selling your desire then

[Q] got a question

i know this is the wrong section, but the guys in the ATT section aren't as smart as you guys.
i have a motorola atrix from ATT which is gsm, but motorolas web site says phone is ===
NETWORKS4
WCDMA 850/1900/2100, GSM 850/900/1800/1900, HSDPA 14Mbps (Category 10) Edge Class 12, GPRS Class 12, eCompass, AGPS
and sprint is wcdma so is there a way i can use this phone on sprint, if so what will i need to do ?
No, ATT is a gsm network, sprint is a cdma network. Cannot cross the two.
but specs. says it's dual network, what does that mean ?

WCDMA is the 3G technology used in the US by AT&T and T-Mobile.
WCDMA defined
But the term "CDMA" is also commonly used to refer to one specific family of technologies (IS-95 and CDMA2000) used in the US by Sprint and Verizon Wireless.
CDMA defined

Meaning you could possibly have usage of it overseas, on other gsm carriers on different bands.
You could use the phone on t-mobile because they are gsm, but not sprint, as they're cdma.
ok i knew i'd get the answers i needed in here, thanks guys.

[Q] Verizon HTC One AT&T Sim

Hi,
I purchased Verizon HTC One from craigslist it was mentioned that it is pre-unlocked phone. I have used T-Mobile sim and it is working however when I tried AT&T sim in it that didn't work. It shows at top that network is AT&T but I am unable to make or receive calls. I was able to use data on AT&T's edge network ( though my sim is LTE). I know that both T-Mobile and AT&T are GSM networks and this phone is CDMA/GSM. Does anybody else using AT&T sim on Verizon HTC One? Do I have to change some kind of settings??
Regards,

Hello,
I have the same Verizon phone and I'm using T-mobile network, but I can't get data started. What APN settings did you use? If
you could please help I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanx,
SiouxV
You will only get edge because Verizon blocked some of the bands that you would need for hspa speeds.

You will have to change settings to gsm/umts as att uses. Settings>mobile data> preferred network. Also Google att 3g apn settings and edit son. You won't get lte but I don't see why you shouldn't get 3g.

Weird because I have a straight talk att and tmobile SIM card with correct apn's set and I only get edge. I know tmobile reformed my area to the 1900 band too. If I pop those SIM cards in my droid DNA I can pick up HSPA speeds with the same apn settings.

That is weird. I would assume if gsm/umts is an option that HTC would have also included the correct bands but nothing surprises me these days.

I think it has only the 1900 and 800 band. Not the 850, which you also need for 3g. Or Verizon blocked those bands despite the phone being factory unlocked.

There's an app called "LTE On/Off", not sure if can download from play store, but included with certain Roms. It allows you to pick different bands. You can select HSPCA/GSM etc. Maybe this will help with other networks??
I'm not sure. On android central I have a thread there about the Verizon one. A person there says he tried it on straight talk with an att SIM and got hspa speeds. I tried both an att and tmobile SIM card in my Verizon one and only got edge with both apn settings. And tmobile rolled out the new bands where I live too. At the time my one was not rooted so I didn't have that app.

could you flash a new radio? Seems like that might help.. and if the hardware is the same and you get the bootloader unlocked, root the device, and achieve s-off could you re-flash firmware, radios, hboot and rom could it potentially operate as a modified at&t (or other gsm) htc one? sorry if this is completely wrong I'm not a firmware guy.. I know basics of rom's and installations that's about it just throwing an idea out there...
Not sure, but you could unlock your cid setting it to all 1's and flash a gsm edition Rom or ruu, flash radios too. Not sure weather it would work or not depending on the Verizon model hardware but all that stuff you can do.
Turns out the guy on android central was wrong, he was also getting edge data but didn't know it.

Are any of you who are trying to use the phone on AT&T running a custom rom, e.g. Cyanogenmod or Santod's Global Edition?
My one max works on at&t fine once you add the apn settings for at&t.
The Verizon one does not have the same frequiences unlocked that require you to have 3g. The DNA has pretty much similar radio frequiences and gets hspa but the HTC one has those bands locked so you only get edge, even with apn settings.

Great. It's usage like this that was a big contributor toward the unlimited data plans going away. Thanks. This is why we can't have nice things.
Back on topic, I'm curious as well if flashing new radios would do the trick.
They would have to be fully compatible and I'm not sure they would be. Maybe possible but I have not tried. Mainly one reason why they stopped selling the DNA.

So the consensus here is that you cant do any better than Edge service when using AT&T SIM in a VZW HTC One?
See, I just swapped my Note 3 AT&T for this phone, and Id like to be able to use data. I use AT&T prepaid but my Note was always able to pickup HSPA and LTE
Have any of you ever tried doing a factory reset from hboot? That will clear out all of the network settings from verizon, and force the phone to be reprogramed from the sim.

I have, with TikTak Google Plus Edition 2.0, I'm still only getting EDGE data (same as with stock) I have tried using a gsm rom, radio, and RUU. The phone wouldn't start with the different radio flash, the RUU would just boot cycle, and the rom would always fail (status 7, 6, 4).
I have spend about 20 hours on this flashing separate roms, radios and pretty much anything i can find

Got a HTC One M8 from T-Mobile, now lte support for AT&T

Hi everyone, I just bought a HTC One M8 from Ebay that is unlocked from T-Mobile and that cost be $169. Do you guys think this was a good deal? All that aside, I want to use that phone on Cricket that basically uses AT&T bands. I see that the lte bands for HTC One M8 only supports 4,17 while AT&T used 2,4,5,17. I know that Oneplus One had the same problem with not having lte bands 2 and 5 but people had it working for AT&T lte. Just wanted to know is there anyway to unlock the bands 2, 5 for AT&T full lte bands? Thank you.

Unlocked at&t m8 only gets edge on T-Mobile please help

What's up guys so let me start out by stating I am no noob when it comes to ROM related funness however I am new to HTC stuff. I bought a at&t HTC one m8 and unlocked the phone then unlocked the bootloader and S off then realized I could only get edge data so I did some reaserch and really can't find anything in how to fix this minus I read how to change the cid to cid 11111111 but still I have no LTE 4g hspa or even 3g any help will be greatly appreciate thanks in advanced.

This may sound silly, but do you have the right APN? If you have, then may be reflash of the firmware can help.

That doesn't sound silly at all.
AT&T version supports the bands used by T-Mobile for LTE (4 and 17). Also supports all the bands used by T-Mobile for 3G, with the exception of the AWS band, which from what I'm hearing T-Mob has mostly migrated from AWS on 3G (so they can use the AWS band for LTE).
The band support is there, so either the SIM card is bad (does it work for 3G and LTE on another device) or wrong APN.
