hi so i recentlly got a droid incredible 2 and unlocked it to use on tmobile. now my question is can 3g be enabled to use on tmobile network?
i have it working on edge so far but it love to take advantage of the 3g network . plz help!!
Congratulations, you have posted in the wrong phone forum. Also, I don't believe you would have access to T-Mobile 3g unless the Inc2 supported their AWS 3g bands.
figured id post in the wrong place and thanx il check out if it does support the bands
No problem. According to this site:
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_droid_incredible_2-3938.php
the Inc2 supports gsm 2100 which I believe is one of the same frequencies of T-Mobiles 3g network. I can't help you any further since dealing with frequencies and other networks isn't something I know of.
Can it be used with att? Like say with the straight talk e71 sim card ?

OP, how do you make it work? Have you verified with Tmobile sim card? I unlocked hinc2, but it shows "no service" with tmobile sim under GSM.

yep it can be used with any sim carrier. just do not know if it will support their 3g data because the adr6350 opperates on frequency 2100 and not also the 1700

you have to set up a new apn for t mobile. you have to go into settings-wireless and networks- make sure you have it set to gsm not cdma to make it work. - go to mobile networks- GSM/UMTS options. - acces point names and if its blank press the menu button on the phone and select new apn.
this is what you need to write in it.
Name: T-mobile or whatever you want
APN: epc.tmobile.com
proxy : blank
port: not set
username: blank
pass: blank
server: blank
MMSC:ht tp :// mms.msg. eng. t-mobile.com /mms/ wapenc (without the spaces)
MMS protocol: Wap2.0
MCC:310
MNC:260
Authentication type: blank
apn type:blank.
and this shuld enable your tmobile on your htcInc2
hit the thanx button if this helped

I've been trying like crazy to get mine switched over from Verizon to T-mobile and was soo happy to find this!! I'm having a problem finding my apn numbers and that data listed. When ever I try to switch mine to GSM or Global it say there is no SIM card installed and automatically switches back to CDMA. How can I stop this or how can I change the info another way. I have it rooted already and I'm running the ClockworkMod. The phone doesn't have service but I have activated the Tmobile card already, just can't get the bloody thing to work!
Any help you can give you'd be extremely appreciated.

Did you get this as a pre-owned phone from someone else? Is it Sim unlocked - do you know?
If the answer is yes, when you go into APN - you need to create the above and SAVE it first. What ROM are you running?
I've uploaded 2 *.jpg images - not sure if it's showing up correctly? Can you reference & compare the screens and share what yours are?

No this was my phone to begin with. I just got tired of Verizons BS and switched to the Walmart Family mobile that is a third the price, but I couldn't afford a new unlocked phone.
I did manage to unlock the Sim, called Global Support from Verizon and they gave me the code no questions asked.
After I unlocked it and got it to recognize the Sim card I found the APN section and got all that setup like it was shown on here now it's working perfectly!
I'm running the stock ROM. I would like to upgrade to CM7 or something like that but I don't know how to upgrade my Kernal to accept the upgrade so I get stuck at the White HTC boot screen whenever I flash a new ROM. So I just defaulted back to 2.3.4 til I can figure it out.

Great, glad to hear that you got it working on Walmart's T-Mo family plan now, it is "slow" on mobile data but just as good when you are on WiFi. We retired our 2 DI2 last month and ditched Big Red, I hear ya - we saved 50% each month, more than enough to pay for two Nexus 5.
If yours is rooted/bootloader unlocked with CWM, you don't need to do anything with the stock kernel - just leave it alone, find the custom rom's zip file that you want - copy to mSD card, boot into recovery - do a full wipe, flash & reboot, then setup as usual & restore your apps. The stock VZW rom has all the bloatware that are useless, especially on other carriers - use Andy Bone's stocked Rom instead, or SkyRaider's Zeus or TSM Sense, all 3 of them works 99.89999% in GSM (using 2 of them now) - read the FAQ / Sticky first, as it is detailed & explained it all with how to's. I have those roms in offline storage - PM me if you cannot find a working public links to download them.
Prices for brand new 4G LTE smartphones are mad crazy, I understand - VZW wanted about $300 each to upgrade + fees + ETF & 24 months contract, if you shop around when ready on eBay, you can find some pre-owned ones that are solid with custom Rom, and reliable with reasonable prices on the 3G HSPA side, i.e. saw pre-owned Motorola Atrix 4G with 4" screen in good conditions for about $70 - in exchange, you get much faster 3G/HSPA+ speed with mobile data (if you need it on the go)
Have a safe & happy holiday.
Skyraider is probably one of the best sense roms on gingerbread with a few tweaks to it. Thing with unlocking the sim on this phone to work on a different network u will eventually start to have issues since it was designed for only verizon cdma and global gsm only. A lot of the gsm is still in the work. When unlocking any phone to work on a different network ur mostly always gonna have an issue with 3G bec gsm is on a totally different band and unless the phone itself was designed specificially for gsm itll be an issue ull more than likely have. An apn change might fix it but not a lot of roms have the apn settings unless its more the line Cyanogenmod. There is an apn settings shortcut in the playstore u can use to set it. Me personally i wouldve stuck with Verizon because the majority of the worlds population is cdma service towers and tmobile has less coverage then sprint or at&t but too each his own. Good luck and hope the apn change helps gain u 3G
Hey guys,
I'm getting a AT&T S3 and being that i'm on Rogers and my data plan includes tethering (which i use ALOT).
Also since both the AT&T and Rogers variants are pretty much similar hardware-wise other than it's software, is it possible to flash the stock Rogers ROM straight to the AT&T S3 or will i have to wait for a ROM that's based on the Rogers one to flash onto the phone?
Sorry if this question has been asked before.
Thanks!
BUMP.
Reason i'm asking is because also it seems as if my LTE isn't working (got LTE SIM, LTE Data Plan, LTE Network Coverage).
Could be the kernel?
Thanks!
Try adding the Rogers LTE APN...
APN - ltemobile.apn
MMSC - http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
MMS proxy - 10.128.1.69
MMS port - 80
APN type - *
All other values are left as default.
Just curious, did that work for you?
i have the same problem here. i cannot get my att s3 to connect to rogers lte.
i checked the apn and i switched to the lte super plan.

Hi,
I have a rooted and unlocked t mobile S4 which I usually use in the Dominican republic with a Claro sim card and works well on 3g since Claro doesn't have 4g LTE. I am now in NYC and popped in my mom's att sim card which has a data plan and I have always used it every time I travel to the states on my previous phones (last one was an iphone4s) and it would work fine with the data and everything. Now on the S4 I'm getting voice service but no data. I went to att and they say it's the device. I had the infamous rom installed and I thought maybe it was that so I changed to darthstalker x rom and still have the same problem. I even went to T-Mobile to see if I could get a prepaid sim with data and the phone was not able to register in the network. With my Claro sim card I'm getting 3g from att but the roaming charges are going to kill me!! Any recommendations??

Most likely you need to find the proper APN (access point names) settings from
your mom's service provider (ATT).
Once you find the proper APN you need to edit the APN settings in your phone.
To edit the APN settings in your phone you navigate to:
Settings>Connections>More networks>Mobile networks>Access point names
and change the access point names so it's the same as your mom's phone.
OR you can call the local ATT store in NY and get the needed information.
Good luck!
Thanks but I did go to att and they checked the APN settings and they were OK.
I am using custom/dedicated APN from ATT and Tmobile for work. I have 3 tab 7.0 inch from ATT (SM-T217A). I am testing this before purchasing more.
All three units are from ATT. I do not have any tablets from T-mobile currently. On ATT APN I2gold, I have set it up and it work as expected, however the tablet switches back to default ATT broadband APN often like every 10 minutes, not suitable for the business. Unlocking my SM-T217A and using it on Tmobile with Tmobile custom APN that works and it does not change it always stays on the dedicated APN(b2b.tmobile.com) which is what my goal is with ATT and ATT device.
To summarize, ATT Device with Tmobile Sim works on APN I input, I believe Tmobile Device on ATT Sim Card would have the same result.
Is is possible to delete default APN from ATT on ATT device? I just want to get rid off ATT Broadband APN and their Activation APN.
Found a solution deeply searching into it

Hi all,
Before I rooted and put a costum ROM on this E980, I would get LTE service on this phone with the cricket SIM, about 6-8 mbps, since I put the custom rom on, I dont have any data from the get go, but if I put the cricket APN settings in, I get H+ data but its less then 1 mbps... I need to figure out how to to get the LTE to work on this.
When i try to enter AT&Ts APN settings into the phone, and I hit save, to save the APN settings, it wont save it and everything disappears. I've tried this on 3 different ROMS..
any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
If it was that slow it wasn't LTE. For example when using my Sim in a vzw phone if I set to global it would say LTE but be slow as balls, not send texts. When set properly it said H+ and everything worked

AT&T Caps cricket customers to 8MBps on the LTE network, at&t customers get 40mbps or so. but I'm getting under 1mbps... has to be some sorta setting or APN issue. When it used to say LTE, i was getting close to the cap of 8mbps.
Then try flashing a radio. The ROM itself shouldnt mess with anything like that really
