PDT...
If i buy this phone in Verizon USA , it have a Sim card support ..? or i have search for any special model name ?
sure does
yes there is sim card support that you can have unlocked by verizon global. i currently have a tmobile sim in there incase i leave verizon cause of their constant price adjustments
Nice info ! thanks
The only doubt , is the HSPDA Frequencies...
This phone will work in 850 /1900 for 3G ?
It does in the UK. HSDPA was amazing. I was pulling incredible speeds off of Vodafone using the included SIM from Verizon (with the global data plan, of course).
Thanks for the info, but i'm living in USA , and here this frequencies (2100 /900) don't work for 3G ... only 850 or 1900.

Hello if someone could help me with my 3G connection inquiry, I would greatly appreciate it.
I bought this phone unlocked from Hong Kong and brought it back to Canada. But the 3G connection through Rogers won't work. I am able to connect to edge (When i pop in my sisters sim card which has a data plan, as my sim card currently does not have a data plan).
I talked to Rogers and they said that everything is compatable (After mentioning the phone frequencies and speed capabilities) and that the only reason 3G isnt working is that I have not configured my phone properly for 3G and at this moment it is configured for 2G (Edge).
I then contacted HTC and they said the reason was because "for the Rogers network, their 3G signal is operated on the 850/1900 MHZ band and the Touch HD2 operates on the 900/2100 MHZ band." Could this be the reason? Will i never taste the pleasures of a 3G connection?
PLEASE HELP!!
since you have bought it in hongkong most probably you have the asian version. It comes with 900/2100 MHZ bands and as you mentioned ROger needs 850/1900 frequency.
You could also get Telstra version from Australia and unlock it as it has 850/1900 frquency so that you could get 3g. But not possible on the one you already have.
Yea its the frequencies. When I take my phones abroad, I always check what frequencies the country has. If the frequencies don't match, the phone won't work in terms of placing calls, 3G etc.
is there a way to unlock ?

There is no software that can get around this "problem"
It is purely a hardware limitation.
perhaps with flashing radio but i'm not shure

Nope, it still will not support the correct bands that he needs
This is a completely hardware related problem
simple solution....
simple solution...sell it or trade it fot the right one
Among those of you with a deap knowledge of the inner working of HTC phone for 3G networks.
Is HTC doing something to phones for each carrier to lock the phone to a specific carriers 3G network and no other.
I'm asking because I was talking with a freind of mine who was given a HD2 as a part of a promotion for use on AT&T 3G network (850/2100). He uses T-Mobile and tried to get it to work with his T-Mobile SIM with no success. He also told me he had a conversation with someone from HTC that told him that he would no beable to get his HD2 to work on T-Mobile because the hardware will not work with T-Mobiles 3G network (1700/2100).
If this is the case does anyone know if it changable, is it a Firmware issue that can be changed or is it like hard wired physically?
Then the question is if we are buying these phone, some through contracts others outright, do we want to told whos service we have to use!!
Lets have some good discussion...
there are billions of threads on this.
3g is radio/hardware dependent. he'll unfortunately be stuck on EDGE.
He will have no issues using the phone with T-mobile usa. He will not get 3G because of the bands. He will just have edge. But calls, mms, text, email, and internet will all function properly.
Clarify this please
I bought my HTC HD2 in USA (unlocked) and here in Peru, where I live, I cannot get it to work with 3G. If I lived in USA, is there a way to know with what carrier I would get 3G ?

So you are on Claro in Peru?
For 3G you need a phone with 3G 1900 support. If it is the T-Mobile version, that would have 3G on 1700/2100 bands which would be no good. If you got an AT&T handset (850/1900) it would work for 3G for you.
You need to understand what 3G support your version of the phone has. For example mine (Telstra Australia) is 850/2100 - which would not be able to pick up 3G in your network - however it works excellent with Telstra (850) in Australia and currently working well with StarHub (2100) in Singapore.
Your phone is quad band - but that is GSM quadband not 3G - it is 3G dual band and that is what is important for your connection.

Hi tallmantim ....
Thanks for your response. Yeah, today I did my homework and found that my HD2 has UMTS (HSDPA) 900 - 2100 bands, a fact that is not good because Claro and Movistar in Peru operated the 850 - 1900 bands for 3G.
Question: is there a HD2 version with 850 - 1900 band ????

No, but the Telstra HD2 will pick up the 850MHz signals where they exist. There is no HD2 with the 1900MHz UMTS band at the moment

Would you mind pointing me in the direction of those BILLIONS of threads.
I've done searchs on hardware dependents, radio/hardware dependents, 3G radio.
There are so many way that is topic could be listed.
I'm finding nothing but my thread now just as before.

Erm, so AT&T gives a phone, for promotion of their service, and at the same time they should allow you to use another network? You've got too much hope there...

exchange your phone for cash
exchange that cash for a phone that supports the correct bands.
Hi, all,
I travel between China and US often. I am thinking about buying TMO(US) HD2, since it is a lot cheaper than anywhere else I have seen. Also, It comes with other goodies and full warranty. My concern is that will the phone work in China under 3G? I know there is iPhone in China (China Unicom). I think it operates on AT&T 3G (WCDMA). China Mobile uses TD-SCDMA. 3G on that is out of the question. If I don't get 3G, I guess EDGE is ok, I don't even think I get that speed on China Mobile. Don't really want to put close to $500 for an experiment.
Any answers would be greatly appreciated...

The USA T Mobile radio uses quad band (850/900/1800/1900) for the GSM freq. The 3G freq is 1700/2100.
China GSM uses 900/1800 for GSM and 3G. So, you will get EDGE speed but not 3G.
On a different note, you would be able to get 3G in Korea and Japan because they use 2100. You have to make sure that Auto is selected for you Network Type and Band Freq on the Band page for that to happen.
I'm thinking about getting an HD2 to use here in Japan.
It feels like a gamble. I have a SoftBank X01T and I've been using custom English roms. (I know the AP and password) (The Sim is with SoftBank).
I'm hoping it's possible to just get an HD2, pop the sim card in - set the AP and password as usual and it should be ok?
Any thoughts please.
Plus anything to backup the 3G working in Japan.
Thanks if you can advise.
I would like to know if this version work 3G with T-mobile US , i want to get it from clove.co.uk but i want to make sure first if it works with T-mobile US 3G ....
Thanks
clove sell them with 3g frequencies of
3G Network - HSDPA 900/1900/2100
t-mobile usa uses 3g on
1700 and 2100
so you would be missing a band, doubt it would be any good for you.
no 3G without the 1700 band
tmo usa uses 1700 upload and 2100 download - i foolishly thought i could survive with just 3G on the download side - luckily someone that had tried it with a HTC Desire from Tmo UK told me it didn't - if tmo usa network doesn't see both sides of the AWS IV band (1700 & 2100) it will limit the connection to 2G speeds

that's why they call it a "band". Without both frequencies that are bound together, it aint gonna work.
Thanks guys for the answers. I really like this phone but I don't want to get the one in tmobile, because I want Arabic support and I don't know if vibrant accept I900 0 Roms . If it does of course I will get it . So my q now is the vibrant accept I9000 roms or not ?
Thanks again

Hi All
I have recently moved to Canada with my UK HTC HD2.
Since moving here I have changed my phone provider to Fido (Rogers Network). Internet seems extremely slow compared to my UK provider.
Someone told me that because I have a UK phone it is not using the correct bands for HSPA and that's why my internet access is so slow. Internet access is extremely fast on Wi-Fi so I know it's not a problem with the ROM etc.
Can anyone give me any ideas if this sounds correct - do I need to sell my UK HTC HD2 and purchase an American one to get over this problem?
Thanks
I think your friend is correct.
Rogers uses 850Mhz and 1900 Mhz, while in the
United Kingdom the bands used are 800Mhz and 1800Mhz (and some 2100Mhz),
Your UK HD2 is of European configuration, and should be able to cope with the Rogers frequencies. (See)
Your phone uses 900 - 2100 for 3G
Rogers provides it at 850 - 1900 , therefore your phone will slow down to GPRS speeds.
Have you tried flashing a new radio ROM?
If so, perhaps you should try another one.
At least in theory you could keep your phone and have mobile broadband.
What your friend is telling is true for dual band phones, however the HD2 is quad band..... Perhaps contact your provider (sometimes the dataplan has not been correctly activated, therefore access to mobile broadband is denied, and you will revert to the low GSM data band)
Otherwise contact HTC.
PS: Sorry for my ****-up
the t8585 (regular hd2) uses 900 and 2100 for 3g.
source
thats why canadian users with cash to splash go for the australian telstra model which uses 850/2100
You will only get GPRS and edge speeds, and no, the american wont get 3g either.
Yep....
I's official, I am cross-eyed, got the correct info, but wrong interpretation.
I stand corrected.
Thanks to both of you for the response .... I'm a little confused though!
So if I bought a T-Mobile USA model - that wouldn't give me 3G on the Rogers network I'm on? I have to buy an Australian Telstra model to get 3G?
Thanks!
*EDIT* ... Oh I think I get it now... I don't need to have the 850 and 1900 bands to use 3G on the Rogers network so long as I have one or the other - correct me if I am wrong please?
yea thats it, and the US hd2 has 1700/2100 which is why that one doesnt get 3g on rogers.
I get ya! Thanks for that.... so is Canada the only country that uses 1900? I'm asking because I now know that I can buy an Australian phone to suit the 850 but is there another country's phone apart from Canada that will use the 1900 band?
also I noticed something in my phone settings....there's an option to change my base band so I have selected 850/1900 GSM but it doesn't seem to have made a great deal of difference even after a reset
that's gsm, (calls, gprs and edge) nothing to do with the umts bands.
put umts bands into google, theres a Wikipedia page tells you what countries and networks use what bands.
