I want to know if there are any members here who are successfully using the EVO on the TELUS network here in Canada. I've heard of a few people doing it, but nothing reliable. I'd like to get one, but don't want to waste my money.
I know it will work on our evdo cdma band (in theory) but I would like to hear from someone who has actually done it, and if you had any problems getting it running.
Thanks.

I already have one and still trying to make it work. Telus is not picking it us as a compatible phone but I am hopeful that this will work.

I would like to know if the evdo works, and i would like to know what doesn't work compared to how the phone would work if it was on sprint.
you need the cdma hero forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=642
Moved to cdma general
I've heard of it and once properly set up it worked fine with 3g. I'm not sure how you would do it though as the only way I've heard of it done is illegal.

Is this the at&t version? If so I can not wait.

Looks like it. Plus this one has 4G antennas.

4g ? So this means it is diffirent hardware? Like the difference betwn gsm and cdma?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
It's still GSM but supports the upcoming 4G LTE. It should work on European networks, but only at 2G speeds, just like the DHD works on US GSM networks.

Why not just release Desire HD for the whole world? Why restrict it to EU and then make a slightly different one with a different name for US? Weird... s:
Because North Americans like to be "unique"
Is not us north Americans who want to be unique, In this case AT&T wants to have its way as always and restrict the phone and add their usual brand crap. If only HTC would sell it US VERSION UNLOCKED I would pay 600 for it.
I think the mentality is different in the US. People don;t usually buy SIM free phones at the full price there. Most get locked in a contract in which you get a free phone.
Moreover, the US uses different 3G bands than the rest of the world (except Telstra).
HTC Inspire (AT&T) is in FACT a Desire HD (ACE).
There will be plenty of good firmware available for it, including CM7.

The inspire is not a desire HD, for starters its a 4G device, so it will need totally diffrent radios, as for roms, i wouldnt be suprised if it had a revised hardward setup meaning it will need its own roms...

Is there anyway to run the mytouch 4g on att without it only being on edge network?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Pretty sure thats a no since the radios are built for different frequencies.
Unfortunately no, the radio in the Mytouch 4G only supports At&t's Edge Network.
probably not
iphone supports only EDGE on t-mobile network, so I assume the hardware designed for phones are only available to the network they were originally made for
if you want to run a MT4G on att go buy a desire HD. same unit but the radio's work on ATTs 3g network. thats basically the only way.

thats pretty much true there unless the phone is running quadband HSDPA. which is very rare nowadays. tmobile just kinda sucks cause they are running a rare HSDPA band while ATT runs a more mainstream. i buy phones from taiwan (HTC headquarters) for my family to use on ATT and their 3G is flawless.

Could you elaborate more on the Taiwan connection? I'm using this device now but would rather go back to the mt4g. Yet considering the match level of chess these companies are playing I need a Bobby Fischer type of device, of which seems to not be available in the YouEss
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
It's quite simple. all the phones from Taiwan use the same 3g signal as att here for their smartphones. So you can buy phones from there and they will work perfectly fine on att networks here.

Is it possible to flash the sprint nexus 4g to Verizon? If so, how?
Thanks
The short and simple answer is no. If you want the long detailed version look around xda as this gets asked a lot in other cdma phone sections...
Sent on the go from my android device using Tapatalk
Oh ok thanks. I figured it could be possible since the verizon iPhone was able to flash to sprint. I guess the nexus is different or something.
i would imagine using tools there available online you could in theory get it going on verizon and maybe even get 3g but 4g wouldnt work for sure

When did this happen? You might be mistaken

I have a verizon prl flashed. It allows my nexus to roam on the verizon network at all times. It increased my dl speeds from 300k to 2mb per second.
You still need sprint service though.

Could you post how you did that? I would like increased 3G speed and coverage. 4G is fine in coverage areas for me. 3.5-5 down avg

Nope..it's highly possible ..check YouTube and eBay. People even got step by step and so on. So I know it's possible.
I was hoping to do the same thing. Technically it seems like the Sprint ones should be possible.
I poked around the forums trying to find a general answer why this wasn't possible but didn't find any real concrete answer. Can anyone explain why it's not possible or point me to a post that does?
Thanks
Possible, yes. Legal? Not so much.

The fact that its illegal is why your not going to find a how-to on xda.

Why would it be illegal?
Root your phone and then download roam control.

I dont think you understand what the OP is trying to do. He doesn't want to roam on Verizon, he wants to get a Verizon plan and activate his phone on Verizon. That requires falsifying your IMEI and no you cant do that with an app from the market.

Google is your friend, OP.
You clearly like android, so seek and you shall find

The hardest part would be getting VZW to add the devices IMEI into their database, impossible, no, but very difficult.

You guys are really... nvm.
Its the radio chip thats bond to your stupid gay american cariers.
I imported my Ns out of the usa and it works fine on any carier here.
And why? Cuz all cariers here use the gsm-hdsp(or w/e its caled) networks

hey,
my Aunt gave me an evo 4g for sprint today and thought i could use it (i have t mobile), so after about 15 minutes of explaining to her why i can't use it, i decided it was easier to just accept it and say thank you.
But now I have this phone that i cannot use and i am wondering what would be a t mobile equivalent seeing as how i am looking to trade it.
Any suggestions? It's mint condition with an otterbox

Oh... derp. I dont know much about US phones so yeah maybe use it as a gaming device (put a load of ROM's n emulators on there. Use it as an alarm clock? Thers literally literally 100's of uses.
Sent from another dimension...
thanks don't hurt ya know?
Maybe HTC mytouch 4G? Idk, I think its a better idea to sell the EVO then buy a different phone rather than trade.
Sent from my MB508 using xda premium
yea, i thought about the hand-held emulator thing, but seeing as how i have a rooted g1 and a jb unlocked iphone 3, i'd really just like a newer phone.
If i sold it, what do you think i could get for it? 100 dollars?
HTC didn't really make many T-Mobile phones of that generation. Just the MT4G AND G2. Spec-wise, the Samsung Galaxy S 4G is similar, but the Vibrant has much better support by devs here.
I think you can also unlock the Infuse 4G to run on TMO, but I'd check on that yourself to see if you can get it to run on TMO's 4G network. Otherwise, sell it, save up some cash, and buy a T989 used. Some great ROMs for us over there.
root it through a custom rom on it, sell it for $120
It doesn't have a SIM slot?

i can't get into the marketplace >.< but does anyone have a t mobile phone for sale that has a 1 gig processor and hopefully around 512 ram? I just found out that the evo i have doesn't have a clean ESN because i was mistaken....i thought it was my aunts old phone that she didn't need anymore, but really it was just a phone that she found. so i am in the process of contacting the previous owner to give the phone back
DHD is a good (but the Dev's are dropping like flies) device, served me well for nearly 2 years
