Please, is it possible to make the HTC magic (Tim version) work on AT&T 3G network? Right now, it can only work on EDGE...
Thanks!
I goolged around. Seems it is a hardware issue making European version Magic cannot work on AT&T 3G...
You should have gotten a Rogers HTC Magic from Canada. It can run perfectly on AT&T's 3G network.
Hi,
I bought an x10 from 3 hong kong, fully unlocked. I brought it back to Canada and there's no 3G! I checked all the frequencies and should be all compatible, entered rogers APNs and still no 3G.
Is it possible to get the x10 to work on 3G on rogers?
No unfortunately. The X10 you got from Hong Kong is the international version and it does NOT have the correct 3G bands for Canada/US. You do get quad band GSM but you can only get EDGE. You would need the American version of the X10 in order to get 3G.
Yeah, tough luck. I'm still confused as why AT&T and T-mobile has different 3G bands. Rogers and AT&T use WCDMA 1900 MHz bands while T-mobile and what feels like the rest of the world (just kidding, but at least Europe too) uses WCDMA 2100.
Stop me if I'm way out of my league but my question is WHY?
And isn't it possible to just buy the phone from Rogers directly, cash?
Yea you can buy the phone from Rogers directly with cash but it is still locked. You need to get it unlocked before using it on another carrier.
Why do you need it unlocked if in Canada Rogers is the only one using that frequency?
that's the problem. i can't use rogers phones since i travel a lot. i have to buy a world phone of some sort.
I heard you can root your phone and change the frequencies. is that possible?
I was assuming Flamso might need it for AT&T or some other carrier. Also, it's not just Rogers that uses the frequence. We do have Telus and Bell now. Buy an X10, get it unlocked and use it on Telus or Bell.
Telus and Bell aren't CDMA?
I know Fido and Rogers are the same.
You shouldnt have a tough time selling that one here. Doesnt it support the aws band that wind mobile runs on? AWS 1700 i think

what color you have? I have a BNIB unlocked X10i white wanting to trade for a X10 locked to rogers
email me if interested
i have the luster white x10i from one of the ebay seller in HK, and it works with T-mobile USA 3G network. UMTS band is 900/1700/2100. Rogers are using 800/850/1900/2100. I dont think you could change the frequency as it is part of the hardware.
Is there a way you can boost edge speed? i can't load facebook or weather with edge. it always times
Cheapest Canadian X10 unlock: http://www.mobileincanada.com/?l=en&u=all&coupon=facebook $5 CAD
T-Mo US and AT&T use different frequencies because spectrum is regulated. Whoever has the deeper pockets can buy more of it.
T-Mobile & Wind Mobile use the same 3G frequency (Band IV 1,700 Mhz) whereas Rogers and AT&T use Band V 850 Mhz.
Telus and Bell Mobility are also now HSPA so you can use unlocked Rogers 3G devices on their network too.
Bell has a tool on their website where you enter in your IMEI and it'll tell you if it's compatible: http://www.bell.ca/support/PrsCSrvWls_GettingStartedGuide.page#4

the Hong Kong X10i version will support T-mobile USA 3G network. the UMTS bandwidth is 1/4/8 which is 900/1700/2100. I got my luster white from hong kong ebay seller, and it works with T-mobile USA 3G network. For X10a (american version) the UMTS bandwidth is 800/850/1900/2100.
so that's why they have x10i and x10a
hardware difference for the 3G network to link with.
x10a is designed for north america
x10i can link on at&t's 3G just because it match
Just sign up with WIND mobile and enjoy because the X10i is compatible with the AWS band (same for T-Mobile down south). But if you are out of their coverage area then there won't be any 3G service (falls back to GSM + EDGE).
The X10a from Rogers will work with Telus and Bell HSPA 3G networks once you have it unlocked.
it does not matter what kind of x10 firmware you have. if your phone is originally a x10a, it has att 3g bands that works with rogers. if you flashed it with x10i firmware, you can still use the 3g because flashing the firmware does not change the bands.
x10i will work with rogers but you only get edge aka 2g.
I know you can only use 2g in Tmobile network in US.
But if HSDPA+ is available can dell streak use that instead of 2g? or it's not compatible with HSDPA+ frequency?
NEED IN HELP~~
The Streak on O2 in the UK has HSDPA, can't speak for what you will get on TMobile but no reason why it should'nt work.
Hi
Got the UK version of Streak which works on Rogers (EDGE only) and has 2.2 froyo.
Wondering if anyone knows if an unlock will appear anytime to allow device to be used on Bell 3g network?

You'll be dissappointed what I am going to tell you
Even though you are able to get your UK version Streak unlocked, you will not be able to have 3G on Bell network.
Why? Because of different frequencies....
>> Rogers/Telus/Bell 3G requires 850/1900 frequencies, and
>> the 3G on your UK version Streak is using 900/2100 frequencies.
However, the good news is that if you want to use 3G on Rogers/Telus/Bell, you need the unlocked version (come with froyo 2.2) of AT&T that is available for sale only on Dell.com. Maybe, you can also get it from ebay.
Hi guys just wondering if I bought a atrix and used it in UK will I get 3g internet?
I would also like to know this question because Voda australia is getting a 850MHz upgrade so the atrix will work but I'm not sure about other spectrums.
Find out what Vodas 3G bands are and compare. Google it up. No need for this thread.
Yes the atrix supports worldwide 3g. The only GSM 3G it won't do is t mobile in the us.
