Hi, I was just wondering if the HTC One X (Unlocked) be used with T-Mobile, because I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy S2 (Hercules) and the lack of ICS is pi**ing me off, I miss my HTC Sensation in which I had ICS months ago; I don't think T-mobile is planning on releasing ICS for the SGS2 somewhere near the future.
For now I'm stuck between Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Note and The HTC One X but I don't know if either of the will work on T-Mobile . Can someone please let me know. Sorry for my english.

Puerto Rico I travel a lot to the states as I work for U.S Deparment of Defense.
This is a very good question. Tmobile claims to use 1700/2100 band for 3g/4g
The specs for the ONE X are : WCDMA/HSPA 850/900/1900//2100 MHz
And GPRS/EDGE/GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
From this information I am unsure whether it will be fully compatible. These numbers look more like an ATT phone than tmobile. Im assuming it will work with edge but 4g is most likely not going to happen. I ordered a one x and intend on using it with t-mobile, so it would definately be beneficial if someone was confident it would work on tmobiles network. Hopefully someone will have one and test it on tmobiles network before I get mine in the mail.

420kushking is correct regarding the spectrums.
However, there are reports that T-Mo iPhone users were able to use 3G on T-Mo network. I've also checked T-Mo spectrums, PCS 1900 mhz 3G spectrums are available on T-Mo on areas in the US. If you're planning to use T-Mo and plan to get the phone, you should probably call T-Mo to see if 1900 mhz is available in the areas you'll be going to most often and make sure that you'll be able to get 3G coverage on your phone. If you ask if the phone will work on T-Mo, the customer service will probably say something like the phone will work on T-Mo but they can't guarantee if the 3G will work on the phone. So it's better to ask of the spectrum is available instead, that might be a safer bet. Even tho the spectrum may be available, but that probably doesn't mean that the 3G will definitely work. These are just some information for you to consider.
I'm also planning to get a One X to use on T-Mo, and hopefully what they say about the 1900 mhz spectrums are true. I couldn't test the 1900 mhz spectrum on my Desire HD because of the 900/2100 bands on the phone.

Well yeah it will work but will it be able to utilize the 4g network I think is the question here. I have already pre-ordered the one X unlocked version and I do have tmobile. I will be doing extensive data speed tests when I get the One X, but I do not expect anything better than an EDGE connection on T-mobiles network.
To me this is a big deal because if the One X does not work with 4g on tmobile, It also wont work with 4g on ATT because its the Tegra 3 version, and if you have been looking at specs the tegra 3 unlocked version does NOT support LTE... If I dont get the speeds I need then it will end up on eBay.

The one x will get 4G speeds on att. "4G" as in HSPA+ not LTE. So you'll get decent speeds, just not LTE speeds. I Wouldn't bet that the one x will work on tmobiles 3G networks let alone their 4G networks. Edge seems about right.
Thanks to you all for answering my question, I was about to pre-order it on when I read that it was "Sim-free", what does that mean, does that mean it has no sim card slot. Im kinda confused here.
Never mind after a bit or reading I've learned that sim-free means it comes with ail, but it does has sim card slot.

SIM-Free means you can use whatever network uses GSM
I don't think the One X will support Tmobile AWS band. The only hope for this phone to work on Tmobile 3G/4G is if Tmobile has switched 3G/4G over to the 1900 band in your area.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
Realistically? No, since it doesn't support the AWS Band (1700 AND 2100).
However, if you live in an area when TMo has deployed the 1900 band, it will work. If you live in that area, that is.
Also, "sim-free" means it comes straight from the manufacturer, without a carrier's SIM card.

Nope 1700mhz/2100mhz in here... Sad but true
I was looking for the specs at gsmarena and I found that the at&t versions supports the following bands:
2G Network
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network
HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network
LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 1700 / 2100
I'm not too familiar with this subject but I believe that T-Mobile uses 1700/2100mhz, does this means the At&t is a true candidate for T-Mobile Compatibility?

I think the version of the phone you would be referring to is the one X att version, It has a dual core qualcomm s4 krait instead of the tegra 3 processor. There is some debate over the performance of the krait vs the tegra 3. I know from a benchmark video that the tegra 3 outperformed the transformer prime. I think the krait outperformed the tegra 3 though by a bit. I ordered the unlocked one x that has the tegra 3 so it doesnt support tmobile 4g or att 4g based off the specs. When I get it I will test on both networks. My concern is that since I ordered the tegra 3 version, it wont be supported by ATT 4g OR t-mobile 4g. We will see I guess.

Ok good to know. Does anyone have information about speed tests on their regular 4g network? Is the LTE that much faster to where it would be worth it to invest in an LTE based less storage model? I have both att and T-mobile but I think the 4g on t-mobile is faster based off my speed tests. I do NOT have an LTE device to test the differences. I am in Los Angeles/ Orange county area.
I'm considering switching to T-Mobile with an unlocked One X, and appreciate the info in this thread. One question: some are saying it will work with HSPA+ on ATT. Will the phone roam to ATT if it sees an EDGE network in range, or will I be stuck with the lower speed? Oh, and does TMob charge for data roaming to ATT HSPA+?
So the users that are going to use this device in the USA on AT&T or T-Mobile, where are you purchasing your device from in the states?
Also does anyone know if I were to use it on AT&T will I have to change the cellular settings or will the device pick up default settings on first boot. I remember there were different APN settings for AT&T and an unlocked device to give it access to faster DL speeds. Does anyone know?
Thanks in advance.
I also would like to know if the international version of One X is HSPA+ 42 mbps capable with T-mobile US?

No, it's not compatible with T-Mobile US 4G unless you're lucky enough to live in one of the few places where they're using 1900MHz. It'll work with AT&T data roaming at 4G, and it'll work as 2G on T-Mob's own network.
HTC ONE X specs from phone arena:
GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
UMTS 850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz
Data HSDPA+ (4G) 21.1 Mbit/s, HSUPA 5.76 Mbit/s, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS
UMTS on AT&T works at 850 and 1900 MHz so should be fine, I am not sure about t-mobile. it might work at 1700-2100 so could be kind of a problem...
regarding my personal experience, I have a european desire hd (on at&t), and in the bay area (SF) it gets no more than EDGE connection (I saw 3G icon couple of times ). However Desire HD doesn't work at 850 and 1900 MHz, whereas One X does so... should be fine on at&t.

Yep, as I said, there is no 4G on T-Mobile unless you roam to AT&T, or you're in one of a very small number of places in California where they've started using 1900MHz for T-Mob.
Hi,
Does the HOX support HSPA+ it only shows th H and not H+
I cant get HSPA+ on my HOX,
I'm on Tmobile UK and when i use the sim in my GS2Ii get hspa+ with superfast internet.
Why is this the case?

TLR - No HSPA+
Speed is slower and theres no sign
Speed is slow and theres no sign either
HSPA+ is a bit confusing, because as a standard I think the differences get confused. The Atrix is not truly conformant to HSPA+ but was sold as an HSPA+ phone. HSPA+ has been used as a marketing aid to say " we can now go even faster". Some phones do not display an H+ but still achieve those speeds
The HTC One X (quad-core verison) is rated to
HSDPA 21Mbps and HSUPA 5.76 Mbps
Since no network in the UK goes faster than that at present, that should be fine!
HSPA technically maxes out at 14.4Mbps. HSPA+ can max out at 56Mbps. So the HTC One X is somewhere in the middle!
Yes, it supports HSPA+ upto 21MBPS. Not the dual carrier 42MBPS one that T- Mo uses.

You're thinking of the USA T-Mobile. The UK one only supports up to 21Mbps but Three and T-Mobile UK will be rolling out their DC-HSPA+ network in september which supports up to 42Mbps speed.
The One X does support HSPA + 21.1Mbps, however, there is no H+ icon in sense, only the H icon. So you will never see a H+ icon even if you are on HSPA+. You should be seeing fast speeds when compared to other phones. Do a speed test on your One X and compare it to the S2. There should only be a tiny difference. Unless you're capped at 3.6Mbps by T-Mobile which most people are.
Also, check your APN settings.

Right, the dual carrier 42 is USA T Mo only. The global variant only supports upto 21, which isn't dual carrier. Which doesnt matter because we only have 21MBPS support anyways. And yes, it just doesnt show the H+ icon.

hi
how can I get HSPA on my htc one x
Hi, I'm looking for an Optimus G which will work on Fido network.
Which one do I have to buy?
The 2600mhz version from rogers (e971), or
the bell / telus one (e973) which operate GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 / HSDPA / LTE MHz ?
I know the E971 isn't compatible with Bell / Telus network, and before I buy a 700$ phone I'd like to be able to tell that it will be compatible with my operator!
I just transfered my plan over an LTE sim card from Fido. I want to be able to browse on LTE when it's available and be connected to 4G when it's not! Which model do I have to buy?
Thanks for your help guys!
EDIT: It may be important, just wanted to say I'm from canada with canadian providers!

i would go with the E971 seeing as fido piggy backs on the rogers network.
For the fastest LTE speeds, you'd want the Rogers version (E971). You'd get 42 Mbps 4G and 100 Mbps LTE.
For the most compatible network and LTE coverage, you'd want either a Telus or a Bell (E973 I believe). These use the same 3G/GSM and 4G HSPA+ frequencies, and support the original LTE frequency used by Rogers (and AT&T I believe). You'd be limited to 42 Mbps 4G or 72 Mbps LTE.

Hi,
I have the e973 working on fido. I bought it used, the guy said it was from rogers.
I'm on lte and it is blazing fast. Dl peak 50mbps ul peak 20mbps.
I'm not sure what band it is but if u get the e973 u will see amazing lte speeds.
I am considering to buy this set.
G2 Ls980.
Will this set work with GSM frequencies?
Does 2g/EDGE/3G/4G work on it? (GSM)

Hi AhmedRana
I have ls950 and am using in India with GSM operator Vodafone. Both 2G and 3G data work fine.
I could not test 4G As India is using LTE band 40 which is not support by ls980.
I think the phone GPS needs data connection to work.
Hope it helps

Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Free mobile app
The LS980 (Sprint G2) works fine on 2G, 3G/UMTS, and 3.5G aka HSPA and HSPA+ networks here in the U.S. for AT&T and T-Mobile - it will not work on any LTE networks in the U.S. except Sprint's network because it is limited to using their particular LTE bands (bands 25, 26, and 41) which do not have any crossover for AT&T (bands 2, 4, and 17) or T-Mobile (bands 2, 4, and 12).
With the last G2 I had (might be getting another one later today, another LS980) I was easily pulling down close to 39Mbps using T-Mobile's HSPA+ without issues which is just shy of the theoretical maximum of 42Mbps so it worked great for me, YMMV as always.
for 3G, isn't LS980 limited to UMTS band 2100 ?
what about the other bands 850/900/1900 ?
