i know of t9193: australian model and can be used on at&t
t8585: european model
txxxx: don't know about the TMO US model :S
t3333: touch 2?
t7272: touch pro?
T9193 has a little more onboard memory than T8585 and supports Telstra NextG.
Also supports Telstra 850mhz coverage in country areas.
T8585 does not support NextG but supports Optus 3G and 900mhz coverage in country areas.
Hope I got that right. Cheers, T.

There are three models of HD2, not five,
t7272 is the touch pro
t3333 is the touch2
T9193 is the telstra and uses
GSM 850/900/1800/1900, WCDMA 850/2100MHz
T8585 is the regular HD2 and uses
GSM 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS 900/2100MHz
Not sure what the model number of the tmous is (PB81120 is the model ID) and it works on
GSM850/900/1800/1900, UMTS: Band I (2100);UMTS: Band IV (AWS);UMTS: Band IV (1700/2100)
The telstra and the regular are identical to look at, not sure how you would confirm which is which, , boot to bootloader and check the model ID, i guess.
The tmous is easy to spot, it has a red end key and a green send key, the other two have white keys, and the tmous says 't mobile' beneath the earpiece.
if you go to settings, about, phone identity it tells you the model number there. along with the imei and the s/n
My hd2 came from the UK (tmobile uk)
model number is HTC HD2 T8585
Another giveaway of the US model is that the flash memory size will be 1024 instead of 512mb

but be aware that if you are using a cooked rom it will show the phone model associated with the base rom, not necessarily teh actual phone.

very good point, did not know this.
well if the phone is unmodified it would be a good indicator of model.
EDIT - Actually, its not necessarily the base rom model id it shows, it can be changed easily, for instance mine shows model No 'SamS BabY' cos i cook my own.
Is there any other way of telling by IEMI or serial # what model one has. Bought one of EBAY and the box said T9193 all the #'s matched but the model# on the phone menu said 8585. The body of phone says NextG and also has a T with a circle looking thing. Also I have it hooked up to AT&T and it does say At&T 3G on the display for the current network. Picked it up on Ebay for 335 shipped from a seller in Canada It had like 75hrs out and like 8 hurs in on the clock but the phone looks like new no wear indicators at all. Almost like the hours are from tethering so just sat on a desk.
IF you scroll to the end, to the settings screen, scroll up and open "About Phone"
Then open Hardware.
What doe the phone say about ROM, RAM, and storage sizes?
go back, open software information
What radio version doe you have?
Phone, menu, options, menu, network selection
Go to Band, List the options under GSM/UMTS band.
These will help to identify wether your phone is TMOUS, Telstra (T9193) or standard (T8585)
"t with a circle", the regular hd2 has no branding on the case at all,sounds telstra to me. if you are seeing 8585 in the "about phone" page, that info is all read from the registry so if you aren't running the stock rom it will show the wrong info.

you can't trust that if you arent on the stock rom, see image, , ,they are just registry entries and will say what the registry tells them to say, i.e the bands of the base rom not the hardware.
The only certain way is to try and download ROM updates from HTC.
It will check you SN.
The ROM you can download is the phone you get.
So Try downloading Telstra update,
WWE update, and look for which roms are available from where you bought the device....
Could be long search....

I'm 99% sure that Circle and T is Telstra which would indicate its a T9193. The only exception I can think of is if the prior owner used a Telstra branded housing to replace one that was branded differently. With there being so much selling going on for OEM and non-OEM used and new parts, unless you know the pedigree of the phone, it's kind of hard to determine.
I'm very new to the HD2 world having bought my first one just recently from a fellow in Australia. This forum and the friendly members are an awesome resource for information. I'm learning something new every day just be sifting through all these threads. Going blind doing so too!

The bands from what I read don't matter to much since you can change the rom and might not show the 850 band.
GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100)
GSM (1900)+UMTS(850)
GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(850+2100)
GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(850)
Hope this helps, i did load a cab. for the telstar bands to apear. because they were not originally there.It was called Agoattamer telstar band type settings.
I copied down as it appears on the screen

I thought of that too changed housings. Phones looks absolutely new but it had 75 hours on the meter so. not unless it had a full housing to keep it looking like that. Seller has a perfect score 77 and 100% on ebay. item #120619427477 asked if it was a T9193 said yes that why i jumped on the deal.
Thanks Guys for all your reply's. I did not think of it Thanks Wilco for the idea. Found the Australian web site for HTC and entered ser# an in deed it is a Telstar. phone person i got it from must of flashed it no big deal though. Now just got to make sure it has the right SPL for further flashing. By the way you guys recommend to do the ROM from the HTC web site or should I keep what I got.
Hi XDA & LG G2 Users,
I am planning for a ling time to get LG G2, so finally I make up my mind to get one. I am currently using Samsung S3 LTE 2GB RAM version and I switching because of the battery timing of the stock battery...as its only 2100 MHZ I guess so..whereas the LG G2 have 3100 Mhz i think.. which is like yehhhhh Now I have one concern that here in my country almost every G2 variant is available in market i.e. Korean F series, AT&T D801, to Sprint & T-Mobile and every variant is working on all cellular operators in my country... but there is one model that is LG G2 D802 which is international model.. Please suggest me which model should I but, because if I will buy korean so on that variant we cant use edge here.. but any body here can please confirm that which model have better dev support here.. which model have better and more ROMs as currently there are very less ROMs for my S3 LTE whereas for SGS3 9300 model there are alot of ROMs and mods. So some times I feel quite sad that why my model have not much ROMs as compare to S3 with 1GB RAM,
So, I don't want to be sad once I purchase G2 ... so guys please suggest me, which variant is good like, hassle free from installing modems to get the network work.. like most of the Korean variants we have to flash separate patch after installing ROMs or there will be many many issues regarding signals... I hope that you'll understand my concern what I've asked for...
Looking forward for your replies and suggestions...
What are the differences between those two in terms of stock software?

Right do you really mean the Korean version or do you mean the H870DS as the two are different.
The Hong Kong Asian H870DS is much the same as the European model albeit it has dual SIM support and is currently unable to have it's bootloader unlocked.
It has 64gb and Quad Dac.
The Korean model is different in that it comes with a number of specific Korean apps that many of can neither be disabled or uninstalled. Only a few can be disabled. Likewise the dialer on the Korean model will show Korean characters below standard numerical digits, it also has dual clock on the Lock-screen because it consistently thinks it is roaming, so you have to use a work around to disable the dual clock from showing Korea. It also can have trouble with networks and international dial assist numbers as again it presumes the user is Korean and roaming, even with another country network SIM.
There are also parts of the GUI that remain in Korean such as sounds in settings.
Essentially the Korean model is NOT the one to get if you want clean software or not have a headache.
---
But you can get the Asian H870DS model as it does not suffer from those issues and comes with same language support and without the problems the Korean model has.
However if you plan to unlock the bootloader in the future, the EU H870 model would be a better buy, but software wise it's much same as the H870DS.

I need to have dual SIM support and 64gb. On auction which I'm following is written that, this is model H870DS and has DAC. I don't want to get that Korean software. How to check if it's the Asian model?

The H870DS is not the Korean model so you will not get the Korean software.
The model number for Korean model is G600L
If it's listed as H870DS you will be getting Taiwan/Hong Kong version with software much like the EU H870 but with the dual SIM, extra storage and Quad Dac.

Hi all,
I'm about to buy a G6 too and wonder which model to choose...
HK model (H870DS) is very interesting since we got double data storage and QuadDAC (and dual SIM but don't need it) for less than the European H870 model.
But...there's a but (and a big one), i'm a Nexus fan (Galaxy Nexus->Nexus 4->Nexus 5->Nexus 6->Nexus 6P->back to Nexus 6 cause of 6P battery issue) so i like stock Android and all flashing things. And H870DS bootloader can't be unlocked (and will never be from what i read about previous Gx models).
Recent Android interfaces/overlays are much lighter than before but I think I'll miss the possibility to flash all the things (did you say "flashaholic").
I think i could find a H870 in mint condition for the same price of a new H870DS but i would have full 2 years warranty.
Since we now have official TWRP, development will surely grow for G6.
Do you think Custom ROMs will handle well specific G6 HW like 18:9 screen ratio or Dual camera ?
