I'm looking to buy this phone, but would like to know if it supports both over a 3G network, as I don't have 4G where I love.
Can anyone confirm this?
No, only over LTE.

Does anyone know if airtel 4g lte is compatible with this phone? If so, does anyone know the cost? Thanks.
Hi everyone,
I recently obtained an AT&T sim card and installed it into my unlocked and rooted tmo g2. I was under the assumption that I would be able to at least get 3g on the AT&T network with my phone, but did not realize that the g2 does not support the frequency bands for at&t 3g. I currently only get 2g/edge, data is slow and calls are sketchy.I have all the apn's setup correctly, I know I do. The phone simply does not support the frequency for 3g.
I was wondering if I can force my phone to always roam on the tmobile network somehow so that I can obtain 3g or even by some stroke of luck 4g. I have national roaming so there is no charge.
Is This Possible???
Somebody please help me figure this out or tell me why it will not work.
XDA is a genius pool, somebody out there knows...
Thank you in advance

You can use AT&T's network with a phone that has an unlocked sim slot, but AT&T's 3G band (same band Canada Bell 3G is on) is different from T-Mobile's, as a result you won't be able to use 3G on AT&T's network.
The same is true if you bought an international Desire-Z and tried to use a T-Mobile Sim, no 3G speeds on T-Mobile, but 3G with an international GSM/HSPA carrier.
PS: The G2/DZ does not support 4G, the only time you ever seen 4G in the indicator is when the phone is on HSPA mode (kind of in between 3G and true 4G speeds).
In a nutshell, a T-Mobile G2 will ONLY be able to get 3G and faster on T-Mobile's Network.
----- The above mainly for people coming in wondering the difference ----
In regards to force roaming with T-Mobile's network, as far as I am aware the two have a limited pairing arrangement, with a AT&T Sim, you would get minimum edge speeds with T-Mobile. (ie: why would a competitor give you more than just basic service). ie: you're not a T-Mobile Subscriber, as such you'll only get Edge (if any data at all) when roaming outside of AT&T's coverage.
I would like to know if it's possible to use the internet on Sprint's network (via mobile data) while talking on the phone. Or if I can receive MMS messages?
I wouldnt see why not. Have you tried it?

CDMA networks require support for SVDO (simultaneous voice/data something or other) in the phone and the network.
No idea if Sprint and/or the OG support this.
If you have access to LTE on Sprint, then you should be able to. But if it drops back to CDMA, I don't think it will work.
Try it out and let us know if it works.
It works perfectly on GSM/LTE networks, in case you need a reason to switch. Lol

It works on an E973 on telus network.
Try it and see

Only in LTE area's. Sprint does not support SVDO yet, so the only way to do it is using LTE for data and 1x for voice. However if you drop out of LTE coverage you'll loose mobile data.

That's because Telus has a GSM network, and GSM supports simultaneous voice/data.
Sprint is a CDMA network, and they do not support SVDO (required for simultaneous voice/data on CDMA). You can make it work when on LTE as you are connecting to two separate networks using two separate radios (CDMA/LTE).
Doesn't Metro PCS use the same LTE bands that the Verizon HTC One supports? I'd like to use the One with Metro PCS but I'd like to make sure that it would work properly - especially a good data connection and from my research the Sprint HTC One wouldn't have 4G on Metro. Also I know Metro PCS will flash the phone for me to use on their network but do they gimp the web use on it so that the data usage is a bit limited? Am I wrong or should I go ahead and buy the phone outright and have it flashed over?
Nope, not possible. Verizon mainly uses 700 MHz (band 13) for LTE while MetroPCS uses AWS (band 4). Even though Verizon is testing AWS LTE in a few markets, I'm not sure if the Verizon One even supports that band.
If you want a One, why not get the T-Mobile version instead? They acquired Metro a few months back and are going to merge the two LTE networks while shutting down CDMA. Look at their coverage map now and you'll see it's an exact duplicate of T-Mobile's.
Hello, I have a Verizon phone, which I unlocked and I am using with MetroPCS sim card. Everything works except I don't have 4G. I have internet but not 4G. Some ideas how I can fix that and actually use the 4G? Thanks!

Read the post above yours. It has the answer. You cannot enable a band that the phone doesn't have in it's radio. Verizon band 13 is different than band 4.

the only success ive had with flashing a Verizon phone to metro was 3g data only. i was never able to get LTE to connect and i tried everything i could think of.
The CDMA editor only let me go so far but i know you can get 3g and evdo to work on their network with some elbow grease and free time.

3G is better then E right? What is this CDMA editor that you're talking about and how does it work? What needs to be done?
Thanks in advance!
I would like to know if anyone has tried SVDO on 3g with the HTC ONE?
