at&t desire hd debranded, no 3g on vodafone /hungary/

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.
Sent using the power of the dark side.
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.

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

No wcdma, only gsm

Hi guys I recently got my phone back from a hard brick. When I select wcdma auto there is no signal and I can't connect to 3G. I can only use 2G. Is it a radio problem? Do I need to use a RUU?

[Q] Tried to Connect to 3G - Couldn't Connet

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.
So I guess I have HTC Desire HD.

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.

If you have an att logo, then I am afraid that it is an inspire 4g and not a dhd. So, probably you won't have 3g on,Europe. Make sure in about phone.

that does not exist. Dhd is not att branded, inspire 4g is. Changing radios won't solve the issue, because it is hardware issue and not software.

I am not sure, but if the device has an att logo at the back, is definitely an Inspire 4G. You can set that to say Desire HD in about phone if the phone was rooted by modifiying the build.prop.
Check your apn setting with your carrier, if it is well set and you have no 3G, then ask the seller.
