Hello looking at purchasing a Tmobile Variant of the HTC 10 . Will it work on all bands with AT&T? Just want to make sure that I wont be losing any performance / signal?
Thanks so much!

Why not just buy the unlocked direct from HTC since it's available?
Yes it will... You can also convert it to the unlocked US version (or buy that instead) so you don't have to wait for updates.

Worst case scenario, you have to spend another $25 to s-off using sunshine and convert it to us unlocked variant, which works perfectly oh AT&T.

I will most likely use this phone on Simple Mobile which uses tmobiles towers so the obvious choice would be the tmobile version, but would i benefit in any way by getting the unlocked version? Who is the unlocked version branded by? I dont want to make a mistake because a month ago i was about to get the unlocked iphone for my girl and run it on simple mobile until thankfully you guys tipped me off that the unlocked iphone was actually an at&t branded phone and will not get 4g speeds on simple mobile.
So, who is the unlocked version of the gs3 branded by? And which one should i get, tmobile gs3 or unlocked gs3?
International Sgs3 is branded by Samsung. I believe you would not get 4g, because of the different frequencies. The other option would be the Korean version of the sgs3. I do not know if that works though.
T-mobile is gonna be updating their 1900mhz which means the international s3 will get 3g data and iPhone users same...

So let me get this straight, the international gs3 is the unlocked version?

Well in this case what is different between the tmobile version and the unlocked version. Im not understanding, sorry. If I get the tmobile version, would i be able to use it the same way the unlocked version can be used?

International is unlocked. It will not get anything more than 2G on tmobile.

If I buy the unlocked version of the phone from verizon, is it possible for me to use it overseas? And would I be able to use the phone on AT&T?
why would u buy the verizon m8 to use on att....

cuz I want the silver version and atnt doesnt have that yet. anyone know when the atnt silver is available?
I saw a video of someone using T-Mobile SIM in the Verizon M8 and it worked fine so I would assume if it's unlocked it would work overseas and with AT&T.

you would be best off waiting for the ATT version or getting the GPE, which would have all the US LTE bands.

I'm sure there will be if the user base calls for it. Hasn't been made yet because the device technically doesn't launch until tomorrow on T-Mobile.
I'm curious if the T-Mo version will work flawlessly with AT&T. I've heard the Sprint and Verizon devices can be buggy.

The unlocked version should work flawlessly on AT&T already.
That it does but due to my wedding in three weeks followed by an expensive honeymoon, I lack the funds to purchase an unlocked one from anywhere other than BestBuy currently.
They say they'll eventually carry unlocked 10s, but really, who knows? They will have the T-Mo version though.

In the meantime, everything you read for the u.s. unlocked version translates directly to the T-Mobile version.
Can someone who got the T-Mobile HTC 10 today tell me what they put for the receipt number when they registered for the free ice view case and charger?
Thanks lol

I just put in the Trans #, they require a scan of the receipt anyway, so I recon it's just to cross check.
The proof of purchase will be the scanned document.

I just want to know if tmobile installed any extra software, and if so if we can uninstall it without root. My rooting days are way over.

The only T-Mobile apps on the phone are the T-Mobile visual voicemail app and the T-Mobile account app.
Edit: Their are actually a few more T-Mobile apps, I forgot because I disabled them lol.

Good to know. Thank you! Thinking about picking one up. I love my Moto X Pure, but I really miss having an HTC as my DD.
Does anyone know if the T-Mobile version has an unlocked bootloader and can install TWRP etc?

Even with the unlocked version we still had to go through HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader to install TWRP. I am willing to bet that it will be the same with the T-Mobile version.

@Behold_this the back of my device says 2PS6500 does this mean I can restore the RUU through download mode by placing the renamed zip in my SD card? Thank you in advance.

in terms of rooting which version should I purchase? I heard that the USA version has a locked bootloader which means it is not rootable correct? Is it impossible to unlock the bootloader unless Samsung does something or..? I would assume that since people are going so far as to refund their phones instead of waiting for an unlocker to be released if that is even possible.
I'm waiting to buy international version of phone with Xynos Chip and no AT&T bloatware. We will probably get better battery life and faster updates. We will lose HD and Wifi calling but no biggie IMHO.

Chance's of the USA version being Unlocked are slim to none... Even the Canadian version is locked down.

Having done development work in this field, I feel obligated to tell you that's not exactly true. Hd voice consists of two voice codecs - AMR Wideband, and AMR narrowband. These codecs do not explicitly require VoLTE to function. In fact, you can make "HD Voice" calls over 4G HSPA/HSPA+ using the narrowband version of the codec.

Sounds good to me. Here's AT&T definition of HD voice.

Yeah everyone dumbs down their definitions for the general public.
Basically, telephony in general has always had an 8khz spectrum width for audio. This was manly due to the fact it's small and low bandwidth. With the advent of 3.5g (hspa/hspa+ and lte) bandwidth is drastically increased. This allows for a doubled (16khz) spectrum width as there's plenty of bandwidth for it.

For AT&T and Verizon, correct. T-Mobile uses HD Voice over their 3G network, and you get better sounding calls when talking to another T-Mobile subscriber (I understand they will eventually bridge HD Voice to other carriers). VoLTE for T-Mobile (Advanced Calling for VZW) allows you to keep your LTE signal while on a call, as opposed to dropping down to 3G.

Good question. I heard a rumor that they did some sort of update and locked it?
I have the international variant and it does have VoLTE.

Singapore here. Singtel.
Would love to get international variant if it works with Tmobile.
I can purchase an international version on eBay, there is one currently for 789$ but there is only gold platinum available and the seller ships from NY.... i want to get this but unsure if it is a fake phone or something ><
The Phone may be region locked. Mine (South East Asia) came with a card that says, the Phone needs to be using SEA sim card for the first boot up.

I'm in the same boat, $789 seems lucrative, but no warranty so not sure should take that risk or not. I'm waiting for B&H to go on sale at least they provide their own 1 year warranty.
I am using MetroPCS. I wonder if I can buy a carrier branded version and then unlock it to use.

Sometimes it is, but not always. Amazon has the G8 listed and every so often it's on sale, I picked mine up for $499, carrier lock free, and besides Alexa it doesn't have any carrier bloat except for the normal LG stuff (Amazon specific version, no Google assistant button)
