Where i live there is only edge service, but yet they claim largest 4g and there barley 3g, i have a hd2 with froyo 2.2 is there a way to force it to roam on ATT 3g network, it bounces on and off it on my way to work but it wont stick, when i atempt to set it it tells me the sim card cant register, but i wanna force it roaming not the main registration. Is this possible or does anyone know if there gunna do a update to 3g on there network?

There is NO way to use most hd2's on att's 3g network. The phone is not capable of it. Even if tmobile allowed 3g roaming on att, your phone just can't see it. I have roamed on att's 2g network occasionally though.
I have seen it roam to att 3g while driving and it works! But it dont last long
No, it doesn't. It can SEE ATT 3G, but it cannot connect to it. You where recieving EDGE speeds at best.

ok newb question...
if i unlock 8525 and use on tmo(usa) will data only be edge or does the 3g roam networks? I know i can make my phones use cingular towers as preffered, but is this possible with 3g?
If not i'll be stuck with edge til tmo upgrades themselves. and since i have never had 3g speeds, i wont notice anything.
I have the t-mobile wing... and i remember reading that tmo is going to rolling out its 3g network by this summer. can n e one tell me is the wing capable of connecting to this 3g network or with i have to get a new phone?
need a new phone t-mobile's 3g network runs on 1700mhz none of their smartphone as of the moment use that band, i know your pain, my girl has the wing and i have the shadow, neither are going to work on it
I've looked everywhere online and can't find any solution, please help.
I got my phone from France (unlocked, unbranded, not rooted), and now i'm using it with tmobile usa in las vegas where 3g, 4g is everywhere. Since day 1, i never saw a 3g sign on my phone, now i just gut the internet plan, and i tried everything, i'm still on EDGE.
I couldn't send mms, with the help of tmobile support, i set up an APN with epc.t-mobile.com, and it helped me send mms,but still can't get 3g.
I tried other APNs such as wap.voicestream.com, or hiptop something, still doesn't work.
I tried to set wcdma only, and can't get any signal at all. Anif i set up gsm only or wcdma or gsm, i get phone signal with EDGE.
These are the step i took to try to get 3g by looking online.
I inserted my friend's sim card in -he has 4g on his my touch- and it's still on EDGE. So it' not the sim card's problem...
Everything else works great, i just don't know what to do to get 3g, i'm not even asking for 4g. It's just too bad to have a badass phone and get stuck on EDGE.Anybody has an idea on how to fix this? Thank you so much for your help.

I'm afraid to say that there is no solution.
In order to get 3G working on TMo US, you need a phone that supports the both the AWS 1700/2100 bands.
The Euro Desire HD supports 2100Mhz, but not 1700Mhz and thus you will never be able to get TMo US 3G.

So I just registered for the T-Mobile UK/Orange network sharing, and I'm all registered
I've enabled data roaming, however under "Network Operators" I have an option for "T-Mobile" and one for "T-Mobile Orange"
Which one should I choose?
Got a feeling i posted in the wrong section but anyway yeah, whats everyone else on TMo doing?
Just leaving it on automatically detect?

Leave it on auto.
It'll default to T-Mobile and only use T-Mobile/Orange when you have no signal on T-Mobile itself.
When roaming onto T-Mobile/Orange, you'll only get Edge speeds maximum as opposed to the speeds you can get on T-Mobile's 3G network.
Some time later this year, they're supposed to be merging the 3G networks together as well but until then, it's 2/2.5G only.

Keep it on auto.
good info, cheers
At first I thought this would be useful, but I find its more annoying than anything. Mine hogs orange, which is pain. Everytime I load up the internet its connected to orange, I do a network scan t-mobile appears and I have a full HSPDA signal and yet it favours oranges Edge or G with unuseable data speeds. every friggin time!!!!!!!
It should only switch to the T-Mobile/Orange network when you don't have coverage on T-Mobile's own network.
It might be an issue with how your handset is set up that it's defaulting to T-Mobile/Orange.
If need be, you can actually opt out of the signal share by texting STOP to 2121.
o right, ok thanks I may consider doing that then as there isnt many places I dip out of signal for long on t-mobile anyway. Having to constantly go through settings to change it back to t-mobile is very annoying.
Hi, I got a samsung HD LTE phone from korea.
I am using at&t in new york area. The phone and mms works well. However, there seems some issue in internet connection.
The download speed is super slow, around 15kbs. I got full bars in my phone. And it shows "G" signal(Not "E"). I have tried the different apn settings, but neither help this. Any one have same experience?
I check the spec. It's not within at&t 4g lte band. But it is under at&t 3g bands. Any idea?
