3G on ATT?

Changed every setting I can find on my new Touch Pro 2 but no HSPDA...
Think my phone is defective?
Any post appreciated

um... first of all, if you own a TP2, then you own a version that doesn't support US 3g.
Second.... wel no thats pretty much it.. sorry man.. If you want 3g speeds, you have to wait for AT&T to release their version of the TP2 (called the Fortress). As it is now, any TP2 that is unlocked is limited to Edge speeds. Sucks i know, but thats how it is Unless AT&T is in Europe and uses different bands for 3g over there that im not aware of.

Darn it. I know you're right it's just disappointing.
Thanks for laying it all out there for me.
Still a super cool phone tho! I hope it's not worn out before 3G makes it to me...
Was a very good replacement for my Sedna

My available WCDMA bands are:
GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(900+2100)
GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)
UMTS(2100+800)
Which is kinda funny because my Sedna will do 3G on the GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850) and this Touch Pro 2 will not.

tha tis because its radio doesnt actually have those available. it may list them but they are not available. you cant always trust the interface. this has been the case with the TP1,Diamond 1, TP2 and the HD

TP2 supports 900/2100 UMTS band and missing the 1900 (Reason why I didn't get TD2 or TP2). I have an Xperia X1i which supports the 1900 band and it works with ATT 3G flawlessly

Umm, correct me if Im wrong but wont the particular touch pro 2 you have never support att's 3g? I think if you want an touch pro 2 that works with their 3g you have to buy the one branded for them dont you?

currently yes. Thats not to say someone will not figure out how to get the bands enabled but so far the efforts for the TP1 and the HD have not proven successful (last i heard). If someone firgures out how to enable them (if even possible) i believe this community would put some money in their hands me included

wait does that mean that the unlocked versions technically are compatible with USA 3g but they just have it disabled?

No the bands just arent there. I've been a helper monkey for testing the US 3g capabilities of TP1 and helping with hacking attempts on it and trust me its not happening and I'll bet same on TP2

[Q] Desire Z A7275 (At&t 3g version)

So I've been using an unlocked g2 on At&t for about a month now and I absolutely love it. I recently found out that the Desire z A7275 model will support At&t's 3g bands in the US. Because of the 3g compatibility, I am most likely going to switch.
I currently have my g2 temprooted and overclocked. This may be a silly question but...the change in band frequency on the Desire Z A7275 won't change anything as far as rooting, will it?
Thanks

Not at all. They are essentially the same device. Using an unlocked/unbranded NAM Desire Z myself on AT&T and have had no problems rooting, modding, etc.

I have the A7275 on AT&T also. Perm rooted (with SuperCID,S-Off) and overclocked no problem.
On a side note, the Bell stock ROM is missing HTC Locations and Car Panel. But I use Google Maps anyway, and I find the car panel to be kinda useless.
The Bell stock ROM comes with a good amount of bloatware. But I was able to remove most of it with Titanium Backup, and the rest with an app called Absolute System Root Tool.

You guys *should* be able to use a custom ROM like Virtuous to keep Sense but go with a more stock Sense ROM.
I thought about getting an AT&T one and staying with them, but their data network in my area is freakin awful. Been with them 10 years, since they were SouthwesternBellWireless, and finally switched to T-Mobile for the G2. My coverage isn't any better, but at least when my phone says '3G', I get 3G speeds. Plus it's ~$50/mo cheaper for 2 phones.
LOVE the G2/Desire Z tho.

Using custom ROM's isn't an issue. I am running Cyanogen 6.1 as I'm not a big fan of the Sense UI. Cyanogen's ROM feels much snappier on the device and is a cleaner, more basic look overall.
From my understanding, once you are Rooted and have S-OFF, any ROM that is compatible with the G2 will work with the Desire-Z. They did merge the two forums into one. These are the exact same devices, just with different band frequencies.

I know this is off topic, but as a former CSR for AT&T Mobility, I have absolutely no idea why you would go to such lengths to use their service. Is T-Mo just not available in your area?

Question, where did you guys get your A7275 from and for how much? I want one

Trust me, if I could get out of at&t's service I would. Unfortunately, I'm on a family plan with 4 lines. I havent upgraded in years, so technically, my contract is up. However, the rest of my family upgraded this past summer so I'm stuck with at&t for another 2 years. Early termination fees are too much and I can't afford to go pay for my own plan on another carrier. And, on top of that, T-mobile just arrived in my area and only has one or two towers.
Another question though: I've seen some unofficial alternate color schemes of the g2/desire z (black/blue). Does anyone know if there are any alternate versions of the 850/1900 3g desire z?

I think that black/blue one was a prototype or at least an early idea for the colour scheme. There's no news that I'm aware of on any alternate colour schemes at the moment.

T-Mob coverage has not been great in my area (although I haven't really investigated it too thoroughly in the last couple years). I also require international roaming service for work, and AT&T is the best for that.

I got mine from Negri. They were great. They have webchat feature, and the customer service rep was very helpful, and was able to confirm the phone was in stock. I got a shipment confirmation about 2 hours after I placed the order, and the phone was in my hands 2 days later.

[Q] Will htc one x world version work on tmobile 4g?

People say att htc one x unlocked are not working with tmobile 4g, how about world version?
Thanks guys!

No. EDGE speeds only. It'll work in re-farmed markets but then so will any HSPA/+ phone.

So that means I am using the 2g speed on my flag ship smart phone whenever I am trying to open the browser!!??? If so, thinking to sell it!!! Wasting money and time......

I am in Dallas TX, some people say that the frequency band over here of tmobile is 1900. Is that true? I am still waiting my device so there is no way to test it at this point. I am using amaze 4g right now, is there a way I can do a test on my current device?
Thanks a lot!

I use my phone on EDGE. It's just whether CPU is more important to you or Data speeds. For me I use my phone more like a PSP so as long as I get my notifications (twitter,FB,email) the data speed is fine.

The big reason I switch from amaze 4g to one x is that it has bigger screen and I use gps a lot. Since still waiting for the device, have nothing to do.
Thanks

Is it even possible to flash a radio that will work with T-mobile 4g? I just got a white HTC one x because it looks sleek but it is no longer sleek with just 2g. Is anyone working on how to make htc one x works on US tmobile 4g network? And how long do I have to wait? Please let me know. Thanks.

i would like to know this as well... or does anyone use it on straight talk?
im not spamming just trying to get the right information since i googled and nothing shows up. thank you in advance

It'll work on at&t's hspa+ aka faux 4g (not LTE) via at&t BYOD straight talk micro sim. I'm on T-Mobile only because i had an unlocked 4s with their prepaid but as soon as its about to expire I'm making the jump to straight talk.

It works in AT&T Straight Talk with HSPA+
I got me a AT&T GoPhone SIM while I made vacation in the USA and HSPA+ worked fine and speed was awesome, too.

you want to know your wait ok Forever!!!!!!!! Wait for T-mobile to release their version of this device. This is what happens when you DO NOT WAIT. Sell it to someone who has ATT that is all you can do now. Then buy the one T-mobile will carry done

[Q] Which G3 Variant to buy?

Hi im about to sell my nexus 5 because i want the G3 (b/c bigger screen better camera better battery) i am on ATT network and i want to make sure i can root and install custom ROMs on my G3. i had an ATT Galaxy S4 last year and was never able to root it because the bootloader was locked, thats why i went to the N5. i dont want this to happen again so heres what i want to know. which G3 variant should i buy? The D850, D855, F400k/s ? I need the phone to work on ATT's LTE network and i want to be able to root it and install custom ROM's hopefully cm11 when its available. i love my stock android on my nexus but i want the G3. was looking at the Find 7 and One plus one but their impossible to find. i have been searching the forums for a definitive answer and i am tired of looking. hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Thank you for any help its much appreciated!

D851 the tmobile varient. Comes with an unlocked bootloader and can be rooted

I'd say T-Mobile for the reasons stated above.

T-Mobile as long as you understand a couple the main issues: You lose the 850mhz band and will have to enter your APN anytime you flash an update or anything. You will also have to unlock which can be had for $10-$30 depending on the source. I had a T-Mobile GS5 and it works fine overall but there are other things I found out as well. The T-Mobile version did not support AT&T Carrier aggregation which helps give you beeter speeds and bandwidth on their network. I am not sure the G3 will miss this feature though.
I would tell you this, if you can wait a few more days/weeks, then do. I think we have some very good devs trying to unlock the bootloader. The G2 is not much different from the G3 and it was cracked. If it looks promising then definitely get the AT&T version. If its not going to happen after a few weeks of them working, go with T-Mobile and live with the few compromises.

i will be selling some devices to cover the cost of the G3 so ill probably wait until i recieve the money from pay pal which is usually a week or so and if it looks promising ill get the ATT version otherwise ill get the tmobile. inputting the apn isnt that much of a hassle and unlocking is do-able but like you said if i can avoid those issues i will. Thanks for the advice everyone!

I too need to know the very same with a slight tweek. I already posted in the forum yesterday with not much difference in the answers.
Which varient is the most flexable if I can get it unlocked
I want to switch between cricket gsm and sprint.
I have a deal on a sprint g3 for 400 if the owner hasn't sold ot yet I would not like to jump through hoops and can believe each varient will be cracked in no time so band wise rootwise recoverywise, gsm unlockedwise, unlocked bootloaderwise and qi enabled wise which varient is the one to buy ?
Thanks

[HELP!] Getting my Verizon S4 working with T-Mobile

Hey guys! I'm trying to get my Verizon S4 working for my wife on T-Mobile! She got the LG G3 last night and because she's so tiny, it's like a tablet to her!
Anyways, the Verizon S4 is rooted and is still on original MDK firmware. With that said, I'm not too sure exactly which steps in your guide apply to our situation...not having safe strap and all.
With changing the APN settings to match up to my phone (LG G3 on T-Mobile), and inserting a T-Mobile 4G sim card, I'm able to get calls and SMS working over WiFi on the S4...that's it though. No mobile data seems to be coming through. Her mobile signal icon in the status bar keeps switching back n forth from E to H for some reason...but no LTE or 4G icon.
Anyways, is this something anyone thinks they could help with? Or do ya think we're screwed? My sweet wife would be eternally grateful if someone could help to make this happen!!
EDIT: haha, my signature will be changed if I'm able to get this working for her!

Aren't you missing something here? Verizon is CDMA, TMo is GSM. I don't see how you can get cell coverage to work unless the phone has dual antennas.

Many newer CDMA devices with LTE support have gsm radios as well, that includes sprint and Verizon..
To OP, you may have better luck searching the Verizon forums if nobody replies here
