Att 4g or 3g

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only EDGE on t-mobile network, so I assume the hardware designed for phones are only available to the network they were originally made for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

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.

I was up for quite some time last night looking for a seller of the Tawian type phones you mentioned. I was lost. Could you be a help and point me into a proper direction? (ie... a responsible source )

hd2 or evo?

Hi guys.
trying to be a bit cheeky here. i just broke the screen on my beloved euro hd2. So i was gonna get an american friend to buy and send me a hd2. (i live in england btw)
However, i then remembered the evo 4g! Not just coz of that great youtube classic.
So do you think i should take the leap and buy an evo or stick with the hd2?
appreciate any thoughts.

Unless you have a CDMA carrier available in Europe that will allow you to activate the phone on their network, I think it's the HD2 for you.

If you can get it activated I'd definitely go with EVO

I'd also say for the evo
Customized Evo

+1 evo if you can

wow glad i asked. i had never heard of cdma. i just assumed all your phones were gsm as well. so the evo is only sold with cdma? if this is the case then i am buggered and will have to revert back to the hd2.
thanks for taking the time to reply.

Yes evo is only cdma sorry mate

htc inspire 4G (3G doesn't catch in Russia)

Hello! Help, please! I from Russia.
Has bought phone htc inspire 4G in the USA.
Ranges don't coincide with ours and 3G doesn't catch.
WCDMA/HSPA (850/1900 MHz) - the USA and (900/2100 MHz) - Russia.
It is possible to make so that in Russia has earned 3G???
Thanks in advance!

Probably not.

You won't get 3g. Frequencies are different

It doesn't work, the phone is built to use only those frequencies.

And, if, for example, I the inhabitant of the USA. I have decided to go to other country with such phone and it is necessary for me vital 3G. Also it appears that it doesn't work. After all it is wrong??

Why not just get a Desire HD? It's the same phone and probably has the right bands for your country since it's sold everywhere outside the US.

The matter is that one of these days has received inspire 4G and already late to think about desire HD (((((((
And nevertheless it is strange that the inhabitant of the USA goes with such phone to other country and ceases to work 3g)))))

It's not strange. Different countries have different frequencies. See if you can trade with someone in the US for a Desire HD since it has
HSPA+.

Oh, it is a pity ((
Thanks for the help to all!

Not to create one more theme, has decided to ask here...
Prompt, how many the built in memory in htc inspire 4g??? (At me only shows that is free 1GB)
And still....
There was no way to force to work 3G in Russia?

The inspire has 4gb internal, though only 1gb is available for apps.
And nope their is no way to make the inspire compatible with Russia's 3g frequencies. Your best bet is selling the inspire and getting desire hd

I am having same issue. I am in Kuwait and Inspire is not able to get HSPA/3g. Due to.that when we use internet, no voice call will reach and its shame on HTC..if US reside want to travel & use 3g, what will be the case?
Please let me.know if u get any solution.

Nonsense can I will ask....

Same [email protected]%#$t in Belarus...

Please search before opening a new thread. This has been covered hundreds of times over the years.
The hardware Antenna is designed to only work on ATT 3g bands, no amount of programing can fix this. You would have to change the hardware.
A Search would have shown you this.

HTC Droid Incredible used $105 [with shipping]

Hey Guys,
Great deal on Ebay; there's droid incredibles that are refurbished (in B+ condition, I assume that it means near perfect but still a little handled)
for $105. Not a bad price for a phone.

The ebay description claims that it is locked to verizon,
I have never owned an CDMA phone so I don't know if XDA has ways to make it unlocked for any CDMA carrier

you can get it on other CDMA carriers (Cricket, Boost) pretty easily using EPST, but you cannot get it on any GSM carriers.

so using EPST you can flash the phone to work on any CDMA carrier around the world? Provided they Activate your handset on their n/w ?

Yeah, I believe you can update it.
I think even the oldest android phone, the g1, can be updated to 2.3, so I don't think you have to worry about anything

Yeah, its definitely not a super new phone.
This is more of an "if you need a backup or international travel", and less of "hot of the press" deal

Well thats true i forgot about the global capabilities

t mobile equivalent to Sprint htc 4g (non lte)

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.

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

nah, just cdma support

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
