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.

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

Every GSM phone has a sim card while CDMA phones don't use sim cards so you wouldn't be able to put in a sim card to activate it

Dont waste your money. If you want an Android phone and on a GSM network you may look into the Samsung Infuse or something similar. But CDMA phones cant be used on GSM networks and GSM phones cant be used on CDMA networks.

Well heres the thing...I haven't had a phone since August and I'm on a tight budget right now. I've been looking at HD2's on Android but most of them are in New York (I'm in NJ)... The last phone I had was the Samsung Vibrant and it was terrible.. Phone calls were lost ETC (mind you, I had it rooted.) Before that, I had an HD2 and bricked it trying to get Android on it.. I've also been looking for a G2X, but still, thats a LOT more money than I was hoping to shell out.. I saw this add and kinda got really excited, since it was real cheap ($100..hes willing to go down to $75).

I've been checking out the latest ROMs on here for the Evo 4G and a few are Sense 3.5 but have no working 4G...
I've read some posts that said "until a phone with Sense 3.5 is released 4G will not be working" or something to the effect that there are no 4G devices running Sense 3.5...well I was in Best Buy tonight checking out the new phones and saw the HTC Verizon Rezound...I checked the "about phone" and it's Sense 3.5...and has working 4G....and Beats Audio which sounded goddamn great on that device by the way...
SOOO....my questions is this: have the devs simply not had a chance to hook up a ROM with Sense 3.5 and working 4G or have I just read a few posts about "no working 4G with Sense 3.5" by people who are NOT developers and have no clue WTF they're talking about??
THANX
4G is a term coined from companies to represent their high speed internet.. LTE , Wimax, and hspa+(ATT uses this but w.e.) are all the "proper" way phones should be advertised. Verizon and ATT use LTE. Sprint uses Wimax(switching to LTE 2012) they are all different from one another. The new 3.5 sense has LTE so it isn't compatible with Wimax..or 4G as you call it
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
The rezound is a Verizon phone. Verizon 4g runs on LTE. The EVO runs on Wimax for 4g. These are two different 4g technologies. In short, the posts you read were correct because until Sprint releases a Wimax phone with sense 3.5 we will not have a sense 3.5 Rom with 4g for our evos.

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.

Ok, thanks guys :/
I have a Desire HD running CM7.2 and Baseband 12.39.60.19U_26.06.04.06_M
I have a 4G 5gb data subscription with AT&T here in New York State, and I am in a city upstate with HSPA+ coverage as witnessed by other phones in my office, but my phone will only connect to HSPA.
Is this possibly in relation to outdated radio software?
The Desire HD doesn't have 4G/HSPA+. There's a version of the DHD for the US called 'Inspire 4G'. That's has HSPA+. I'm guessing you're being charged quite a bit for 4G, so better cancel your 4G data subscription and get a cheaper 3G data plan. 3G is the max the DHD can do because it doesn't have the radio hardware to access 4G.
