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
Help switching over

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
I have a AT&T galaxy s 3 since the beginning it appear. Unlocked through ATT Costomer service .

Hello! I have an unlocked Galaxy Nexus on the Bell Mobility Network in Canada, that I have a US T-Mobile prepaid SIM card for traveling in the States, and getting cheap data: yay for $3/day unlimited talk, text, and data! I was away a month ago, and just noticed today, that I was unable to send picture messages. The phone said to check my APN settings, to which I said, "Wtf does that even mean?" and googled it. Upon figuring it out, I checked the settings, and it still had my T-Mobile info in there, not my Bell settings. I changed it, and everything is hunky dory, nbd.
My question is, why didn't it automatically change, when I got back to Canada and put my Bell SIM in? Also, when I got to the States, I had difficulty joining the T-Mobile network. It was stuck roaming on AT&T and I couldn't access data. I had to physically make it join the T-Mobile network, by going into the mobile settings, hitting network operators, and selecting T-Mobile from the list. I happened to figure that out on my own, purely by accident. I didn't have to do that, when I originally got the T-Mobile SIM during black Friday. I just popped it in, and it worked. My Bell APN settings were fine upon returning after Black Friday too. Does anyone know why the issue this time? I was only running the previous version of Jellybean back in November, the phone has since updated to new Jellybean, could that be why? Or is my phone crapping the bed?
Thank you for any input :0)
PS phone is unrooted and running stock Jellybean 4.2.1
i have been using a telus canada tablet (ipad or android) flex data only plan and sim successfully.
considering line2 app works in all of north america for $10 per month unlimited talk and text (yes texting works now in canada, just not full MMS) and $15 per month with full business line features and CALL BLOCKING THAT WORKS WITHOUT YOU EVER HEARING A RING AGAIN BECAUSE IT BLOCKS IT ON ITS OWN NETWORK
and considering the telus data only plan is straight up $5 per month, $20 at 500 mb, $40 total at 5.5 GB
therefore be it resolved that it is a full replacement for cel usage (except 911)
and at half the price or even 1/4 the price if you use wifi alot like i do being in the city, taking advantage of all that free wifi you can get for 9 devices for every shaw cable customer (shaw exo wifi, called 'shawOpen' on your wireless in range ssid name)
heres how:
1) my phone-dialer-code-style unlocked (as per these forums) samsung galaxy s3 i747m JB 4.1.1 stock rom, rooted, telus canada will take any sim, i have tested it and the unlock works.
2) get a tablet flex data plan with telus canada, made for android as well as ipad. they will activate it in store, no need to go find a friend with an ipad or device.
i put it in my gs3 and immediately had functionality, but with accidental settings for expensive pay per use data because of telus' apn settings that get automatically set up if a sim is put into a phone and not a tablet. NO PROBLEM JUST ADD THE CORRECT APN (access point name), select it, and ignore the existing ones:
3) the only apn entries required to enter were:
use menu button choice 'add new apn'
edit the first 2 entries only:
NAME: whatever you want
APN: isp.telus.com (NOT sp.telus.com!)
then hit BACK button INSTEAD OF save, your new APN shows a selectable radio button, select it, back out again with back button
rest of settings are auto filled and your up and running, no more steps, tethering included.
to summarize the weird APN behaviour on the GS3:
apn settings are changeable but NOT by editing one of the existing ones (all the existing automatic ones have all settings dimmed), but by adding a new one and NOT using the 'save' menu choice (!).
once back to the apn list which then shows 3 entries instead of 2 i had to only tap the radio button of the new apn and exit out with the back button again. if i then go back in and look at my new apn, it has filled in a few other fields automatically but left the important one for telus canada which is
APN: isp.telus.com
and NOT sp.telus.com which would give you a $600 bill at the end of the month, and i verified that disaster by downloading 1.2 MB with the wrong entry, at about $6!
I got a Telus flex plan today, stuck it in my Nexus 4 (root, Cyanogenmod 10.3, 4.3). I went to APN settings and selected "Telus SP Teather." this had apn set to isp.telus.com, so i thought it would be fine. but then after a little data usage, i had a similar charge of $6. I tried to follow your steps, however, on the Nexus 4 4.3, if i press the back button without saving a the new APN, it isn't stored and I don't get any 'selectable ratio button'
can you confirm that the "Telus SP Teather' that uses isp.telus.com charges as pay per use? have you upgraded OS on your GS3? if so, is your APN menu different? if is it, how so? and how would you put on the correct APN in this menu? what happened when you did use the "save" button when making the custom APN? since you set up the GS3+Flex+VOIP, have you had any problems? are you billed according to the Flex?
thank you for all your help.

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.
