x1i version=3g in nyc?

does anyone have an x1i in use in NYC?I read the reviews and most of them used the black one and gave reviews with 3g working.does NYC use both bands-so if the x1i does not work with the 850mhgz then it will work with the other?I have been given one and want to connect with att but want to know if im going to be able to connect with 3g on this x1i-english uk version?
I used my X1i in Seattle and Vancouver perfectly fine..
Yes it works with att 3g. I live in brooklyn and goto school in Manhattan, HSDPA is a go.
thanks for the replies great to know i can put this phone to use,was kinda thinking id have to ditch it for the x1a.
I ran a test in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan.
Works great!
I don't believe it'll ever be a problem, especially once AT&T rolls out the entire network (this summer).

TMobile Nexus vs AT&T Nexus One and vice-versa

Hello everybody.
The reason for this question and poll is to have an idea of the 3G signal issue on this phone.
Are you having 3G problems with your AT&T-Rogers?Problems with your TMobile Nexus One?
Which one is working better for you? That is the main question.
Let us know.
Thanks community.
How does the question you're asking help you tell anything at all about 3G issues on either phone?
I'm having zero issues with my ATT N1. Its getting speeds about the same my Tilt 2 was. Around this area, ATT is king, Tmobile is garbage.
I haven't had problems with either my t-mobile or at&t nexus ones, although my at&t version gets less battery life than my t-mobile one did. My friend has the t-mobile version and seems to have some 3g issues at her house.

Are you sure T-Mobile is really 'garbage?' Their coverage map shows good voice coverage and 3G data in Hagerstown, MD.
From what I've seen, their coverage maps don't tend to 'lie' either.
Its coverage not the phone... I accidentally hit I have a 3g issue before reading. But I don't, only when in crappy coverage but all my phones do that so no problem with tmobile
well that was stupid of me, i thought this poll was for which phone works better for you....LOL so i clicked on ATT
No problems witht the ATT one and when i had the tmobile days before the ATT came out, i could never get a 3g signal in my house and cant get full when outside.
But i think those are issues with the coverage/service provider not the phone.
I live in the upper left corner of Ohio. According to both coverage maps, the best I can do is edge.... So anyone here from Ohio like to comment please?

Lost 3G connection

I flew from Austin to Los Angeles two days ago and have been unable to get a 3G signal since. Anyone have any ideas? I've tried everything I can think of to get 3G working again. I have a G1 literally sitting next to my Streak and only the G1 has 3D.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Also, in case you were wondering, it's one of the beta phones that is unlocked for T-Mo.

Is that not one of the Streaks that was Blocked
I thought only AT&T beta phones lost their connectivity.
I have on of the unlocked versions that works with T-Mobile. The only thing that isn't working is 3G.
Is anyone else having the same issue?
In Austin Same issue. I don't know if I have ever had tmo 3g but I do no im on an unlocked beta unit.
Currently only edge with tmo sim
Have you tried forcing WCDMA only under the settings / wireless conrtols / mobile networks / network type ? It works for me in the UK - US may be different.
That didn't work for me. I also have one of the beta phones that works with T-Mobile, but I am not getting 3G.
Do you guys think T-Mobile killed the 3G connectivity now that the beta is over?
So I called T-mobile last night and got through to the technical support people. Sure enough, they "blocked the ports for the beat units". Sucks to be me.
BE WARNED: if you buy a beta Streak so that you can use it on T-mobile, you WILL NOT GET 3G.

MT4G Reception...

Well i took the plunge and switched from ATT to tmobile for the MT4G...what i noticed is that the reception is really spotty here in LAs Vegas. It is mostly on E, and doesnt hold H that well...is this how Tmobile is? With my ATT N1 i had way better reception...did i make a mistake when i switched???
I'm in NYC and coming from a G2 where the phone would ALWAYS switch between H and E (very annoying), the MT4G is quite nice sitting on H. Now, there is an option where you can force HSPA, so you may want to try it by doing:
Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Mode > WCDMA Only
That will not allow the phone to go to Edge at all. This obviously can be bad if TMo doesn't have good coverage in your area, so check their coverage viewer.
TMo pushed out an update to fix the G2 dropping data connection today. Heh!

Just wondering if you've had any more thoughts on this given a few more days with the phone... I also switched from ATT and experienced spotty coverage in the Kansas City area on the first day with the new phone (e.g., fluctuating between 2 bars on E to a total lack of a connection while sitting in one place where ATT would have never given me a problem).
my internet is really slow out here in cali. i get at the most 500kbps i cant even come close to 1mb per second and my "h" shows all the time even though i am not near 4g at all lol. but idk if it needs an update or not but my htc hd2 always said 3g and my internet was never slow like it is on the mytouch 4g. so im not sure if it needs an update or not but i still love my phone and im not gonna complain to much since this phone blows my hd2 out the water. it was nice selling my hd2 so it could pay for my mytouch 4g lol
I am having no issues staying on HSPA+ I am also in Las Vegas (Herderson Acutally, but close enough). I do notice in my house though I switch to Edge. No worries though cause inside there is WiFi
well, i have been using the phone for a few days now and it is an awesome phone, but T-mobiles reception is just killing me. Compaired next to my N1 on ATT, thats another story. ATT has better reception on my N1 then on MT4 on tmobile. i can only wait for tmobile to update their reception.
Its a double edged sword.
with Tmobile you have a great phone with an okay reception, and a phone that is not locked down...
with ATT you have crappy phones with better reception, but phones are locked down. And to get a better phone you have to wait and pry that there is an unlocked vanilly phone that has the ATT frequencies...
Where are you located?
The myTouch 4G doesn't have good reception. It drops over to EDGE next to my Vibrant on 3G, same for the G2. But T-Mobile's 3G network isn't fully developed in Las Vegas yet and that's part of the reason. Certain towers don't have 3G yet, apparently it's on track to fixed soon. AT&T's network quality is truly garbage here. You can have all of the bars in the world but the worst call quality out of all the carriers. This isn't universal as there are hotspots where this problem is exacerbated (ie the Strip) Latency over 3G is pretty bad too.
I'm noticing that my MT4G has really horrible reception here at home. I have it side by side with my G1 and the G1 has full bars Edge and the MT4G has nothing! Sometimes it'll go to 1 Edge bar, but that's it.
Now I know location-wise the house is bad and can only pick up Edge, but I would expect the MT4G to at least display the same amount of bars as the G1.
I'm glad I have wifi-calling capability on this thing, otherwise I would have a nice phone that can't make calls!
Man, bummer for you guys. I've had my mt4g here in New Orleans and all over NYC since it came out and reception and speeds have absolutely blown away my old iPhone 3gs on ATT in both areas.

That speaks more of the T-Mobile network than anything else. The MT4G next to my Vibrant was dropping 3G. Happened often in the same place with the G2..

I was also having problems. I went and got a 3G sim card and that fixed allot of problems I was having with reception. Not sure if it will work for you but worth a chance if you dont already have a 3G sim.
Chop.
you're holding it wrong

Galaxy SIII in Milwaukee

I am currently using sprint and am considering moving to TMOBILE in Milwaukee WI - I am curious if any one is in the Milwaukee Area using the GalaxySIII on TMOBILE and if so - what sort of coverage and speed they are getting here? (I have been told that the TMOBILE Version is 4G only and will not get LTE as it isn't compatible with the LTE network?)
Well, I I took the plunge - left SPrint (Got tired of waiting for them to get 4G or any data network with any kind of real speed in this area) and switched to TMOBILE - I am totally glad I did - I purchased the Galaxy SIII - (Awesome phone) and have been getting incredible 4 G Speeds all over my area - clost to 5MBS down load and just about 1500MBS upload - see attached - it;s as good or better than many WIFI Systems I have been on!
