HTC One V GSM edition (US Cellular, Virgin Mobile) does not have the right frequencies for T-Mobile / SIMple Mobile 3G service. I have used T-Moible and SIMple Mobile SIM with GSM phone any only get Edge speeds and network.
T-Mobile officially states that 3G/4G, for the frequencies support on this phone, will be rolled out in America starting in the fall.

The unlocked GSM version could be used on Tmo USA. The US cellular and VM version cannot, as that version is CDMA and carrier locked.

hi everybody .. i just got HTC Desire for my wife and we have this phone for 2 days now .The phone don't read 3G and when i checked the network info the phone read EDGE and when i checked my nexus at same time i seen the network UMTS . so what i can do make this desire read 3G
Check your carrier's APN setting.
Menu->Settings->Wireless & networks->Mobile Network Settings->Access Point Names
You are on T-Mobile USA right?
Sorry but there is NO version of HTC Desire that is compatible with T-Mobile USA 3G network. No, T-Mobile in Europe does not use the same 3G bands for 3G as T-Mobile USA, so even if the phone was sold with a T-Mobile (Europe) logo on it it won't have 3G in the US.
Currently there are TWO hardware versions of the HTC Desire. The first one, A8181, is the one that is sold in Europe and Asia, and this one does not have 3G in the US. The second one, A8183, is sold in Australia by the carrier Telstra. This version is compatible with AT&T's 3G network in most part of the US, but it is not compatible with T-Mobile USA's 3G network.

You will find that very, very few "worldwide" GSM phones will work with T-Mobile US's 3G due to the split 1700/2100 AWS band that TMo US uses.
Ironically though, you can take a TMo US phone out of the US and it will happily talk 3G to most other non-US GSM networks.

Dave

Most Europe/Asian carriers only use 2100 band for 3G, so as long as your phone supports that band (most GSM phones do) you can get 3G on their network.
T-Mobile USA on the other hand, requires BOTH 1700 & 2100 bands support in order for your phone to get 3G on their network. For a long time, T-Mobile USA was the ONLY carrier in the world that use 1700 band for 3G, and therefore if a phone was not carried by T-Mobile USA it didn't have 1700 3G band support (it doesn't need to because no other carrier in the world used it). Well, lately a new Canadian wireless carrier, Wind, also employs the 1700 & 2100 bands for their 3G network... so the chance of getting more phones to support these 3G bands has slightly increased. Slightly, because Wind is a new and small carrier...
Hi,
on my last trip home to Germany I bought the HTC Desire (Europe Version). This phone only have the UMTS frequency of 900/2100. I works fine with the EDGE but is it also possible to use the 3G Network from Tmobile US ? I read that tmobile also use the 3G freuquency of 2100. Is that right and when yes how could I use the 3G on my phone
Thanks
No it wont work t mobile use uses AWS for 3G I think so your stuck on edge I'm afraid.

It would help if you say what model number/versions you are talking about. The Euro DZ (or just about any model DZ, I think) has the GSM bands to operate on the two major US GSM carriers, AT&T and T-Mobile. As long as your phone is not SIM locked, you will have voice and EDGE data. But you will not get 3G data.

I know my US g2 got 3G (or 4G? HSDPA+) in Poland. I have US T-Mo G2 on AT&T with only EDGE. And it should work on either AT&T or T-Mobile.

It won't get 3G on both. As you've said it'll either get 3G on AT&T or T-mobile.
The Bell (Canada) DZ will get AT&T 3G. Other models will get 3G on T-mo.

Hi everyone right now I have a HTC one s but I want to trade it for HTC one x Att version. But ill be on tmobile and I hear that the data will be on edge . So is it true and if it is. Can you make it go faster. Is it worth trading? Help will be greatly appreciated

Correct. Edge aka 2g data is all you will get for now. [IF YOU ARE ABLE TO OBTAIN AN OLDER MICROSIM, IF NOT, NO DATA FOR YOU]
You see, T Mo USA uses their 1900 MHz PCS band exclusively for 2g traffic. 3g data (HSPA) and "4g" (HSPA+) is used in the 1700/2100 AWS bands.
T Mobile is reframing their 3g and HSPA+ to the 1900 MHz band and will have true 4g (4th generation) LTE on those 1700/2100 AWS frequencies (previously used for 3g).
I have the international One X on T Mobile USA and am patiently waiting for the network to modernize their infrastructure. Supposedly, between now and the end of the year.

And I believe this is the Quad-Core section, not the Dual-Core as in the AT&T One X.
I believe it will still be on edge only until T-Mobile makes the switch to 3g on the 1900 band and I think with the att one x has the same situation that you have to use the older T-Mobile micro sim to get edge to work I also came from the one s and data is not working for me.

If you get the full size mini Sim then cut it down that should work.
I've been using the One X Global on T-Mo and it hasn't bothered me one bit. You could probably save some moolah and drop down to the 250mb/month plan.

I want to trade for att version. So ur saying that if I get a normal size sim card then cut it out it will work with 4g ?

Guys, the HTC One X(L) (neighter of them) will work with T Mobile's current 3g bands (AWS 1700/2100). You will only get Edge/2g data-REGARDLESS of SIM card.
HOWEVER, T Mobile USA is currently restructuring their network to provide 3g data and 3g+ data (what they currently call "4g") to the 1900 MHz band which our One X and MANY other phones (in and out of the US) use for 3g data.
So, my friend, you WILL get 3g data at some point, however when that will be is unknown. According to press releases (available on T Mobile's website), are investing 4 billion to make this happen. Also consider that there are a few cities reporting 3g speeds on their iPhone's and so it is happening. I have spoken to T Mobile and they are telling me it is simply a matter of time.:fingers-crossed:

HI i have a htc one m7 originally from verizon as we all know the verizon htc one comes unlocked but when i took it over seas it only work on edge with a carrier that has the same bands that at&t uses any suggestions (tigo colombia)
Yeah that's all you can get with the Verizon model. Verizon uses a lte frequency than the gsm carriers.

This phone only supports GSM HSPA (3G for GSM) of 900/2100... Please check the FAQ
AT&T only supports 850/1900 which is why you cannot connect to 3G.
