hey,
im thinking about buying a t-mobile version of the G2 in the us.
but i thiunk its on the 1700 MHz. or is it also on the 2100MHz ?
because in germany i am on the eplus network and i dont know exactly on what band it is!
anyone having experience with that?
am i able to use the t-mobile g2 on the germany eplus 3G network?
thanks for your help
u should find some info about ur network's bands... if u cant , call them ... im with vodafone europ with tmous hd2 and its working fine with the 2100mhz 3g
Coming from the US, T-mobile has 1700/2100 mhz bands. I believe that means they use both
okay thanks,
i figured out that eplus has 2100 MHz and the phone im thinking about buying should have 1700 / 2100 MHz. so i guess itll work
thanks again!
Here's more footage on that:

The phone will definitely work in all GSM bands (Quadband) and the UMTS/3g Band 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz according to various internet sources.

I'm wondering if the 3G will work on US T-mobile when they start the service in my area. I read on T-mobile that their 3G will be on 1700 and 2100 MHz frequency. I also read that X1 support 850/1900/2100 Mhz.
I saw numerous article saying that X1 will not support US T-mobile 3G. How does it work exactly since X1 support 2100MHz and T-mobile is providing 2100 MHz?
Can someone please enlighten me?

the 3g aws was 1700 so tmo 3g is 1700 .. soo no tmo 3g for x1. im getting the x1 and am also on tmo. if you want 3g and a touchscreen then g1 is your lesser priced choice. but i would still go with x1 with wifi
A quick search would have provided your answers. T-Mobile run on AWS which is a 1700/2100 MHz pair. The X1 only supports standard 2100 MHz which is used by nearly every other network in the world.
Among those of you with a deap knowledge of the inner working of HTC phone for 3G networks.
Is HTC doing something to phones for each carrier to lock the phone to a specific carriers 3G network and no other.
I'm asking because I was talking with a freind of mine who was given a HD2 as a part of a promotion for use on AT&T 3G network (850/2100). He uses T-Mobile and tried to get it to work with his T-Mobile SIM with no success. He also told me he had a conversation with someone from HTC that told him that he would no beable to get his HD2 to work on T-Mobile because the hardware will not work with T-Mobiles 3G network (1700/2100).
If this is the case does anyone know if it changable, is it a Firmware issue that can be changed or is it like hard wired physically?
Then the question is if we are buying these phone, some through contracts others outright, do we want to told whos service we have to use!!
Lets have some good discussion...
there are billions of threads on this.
3g is radio/hardware dependent. he'll unfortunately be stuck on EDGE.
He will have no issues using the phone with T-mobile usa. He will not get 3G because of the bands. He will just have edge. But calls, mms, text, email, and internet will all function properly.
Clarify this please
I bought my HTC HD2 in USA (unlocked) and here in Peru, where I live, I cannot get it to work with 3G. If I lived in USA, is there a way to know with what carrier I would get 3G ?

So you are on Claro in Peru?
For 3G you need a phone with 3G 1900 support. If it is the T-Mobile version, that would have 3G on 1700/2100 bands which would be no good. If you got an AT&T handset (850/1900) it would work for 3G for you.
You need to understand what 3G support your version of the phone has. For example mine (Telstra Australia) is 850/2100 - which would not be able to pick up 3G in your network - however it works excellent with Telstra (850) in Australia and currently working well with StarHub (2100) in Singapore.
Your phone is quad band - but that is GSM quadband not 3G - it is 3G dual band and that is what is important for your connection.

Yeah ...bad news

Hi tallmantim ....
Thanks for your response. Yeah, today I did my homework and found that my HD2 has UMTS (HSDPA) 900 - 2100 bands, a fact that is not good because Claro and Movistar in Peru operated the 850 - 1900 bands for 3G.
Question: is there a HD2 version with 850 - 1900 band ????

No, but the Telstra HD2 will pick up the 850MHz signals where they exist. There is no HD2 with the 1900MHz UMTS band at the moment

Would you mind pointing me in the direction of those BILLIONS of threads.
I've done searchs on hardware dependents, radio/hardware dependents, 3G radio.
There are so many way that is topic could be listed.
I'm finding nothing but my thread now just as before.

Erm, so AT&T gives a phone, for promotion of their service, and at the same time they should allow you to use another network? You've got too much hope there...

exchange your phone for cash
exchange that cash for a phone that supports the correct bands.
Hi guys, I may get shot down for this, if I do I deserve it!
I just lost my beloved HD2 in London, I have insurance luckily, but I wanted to know if the TMOUS version of the HD2 would work in the UK.
Has anyone tried it yet?
My fiancee is the US right now, and I'm tempted to get one if its possible, but only if it will work over here in the UK.
Really sorry if this has been posted/answered before, but I'm really distraught and my searches weren't bringing up anything solid.
Thanks in advance guys, hope you can advise!
I think it just won't, it's hardcoded to work with US carriers, won't work with EU ones, that's what I've read more than once in several posts

I think the radios are coded to a particular frequency range in the hardware which is different to most other providers.
Here is a very general outline of common frequencies:
Voice and GPRS (EDGE)- 900 and 1800 in most of the world outside NA, 850 and 1900 in NA
3G Data- 2100 in Europe and Asia, 1900 in NA, 1700 for TMo USA
T-Mobile
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
WCDMA/HSPA: 1700 MHz (AWS) / 2100 MHz
European
HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Not sure if this helps, but 3G and the radios may
be a problem.
I travel internationally a great deal and so I never buy US phones.
I don't care about 3G when in the states. I want it when traveling.
I am with AT&T and their 3G doesn't work overseas.
Thanks for your replies guys! Really appreciate it.
Case closed, TMOUS HD2 not compatible in UK.
Hi .. I was searching the forum because I want to purchase an HTC HD2 T9193 which, I know, has the 850 - 2100 Mhz band. But I found on the net a vendor who offers the HTC HD2 850 - 1900 Mhz band, is this right ?
On the other hand, if there is not such HD2 with 850 - 1900 Mhz band, the one with the 850 - 2100 band will pick up 3G in Canada ?
That model (850 / 1900) was supposed to come out (for AT&T most probably), but it has since been cancelled.
I'd be careful if I were you. You can find more info about it here
The Telstra model (T9193) supports 850 / 2100 MHz like you said. You'll need to check with your service provider if they support 850.

Yes. You'll need to check if ATT supports the 850mhz band IN YOUR AREA.
I'm in a North Shore Suburb of Chicago area and have excellent reception with my T9193 in the area. There are 3 dead zones I've found so far that repeatedly drops calls using the HD2's 850mhz band exclusively. Other unlocked phones I've previously owned that used the 1900mhz band exclusively did NOT drop calls in these areas however. Other than that, reception has been great. It's been reported that ATT is "supposedly" moving their entire network to the 850mhz band exclusively by end of 2010. I'm doubtful they are on target for this date given the number of cities still without any 850mhz support.
T9193
Hi guys ...thanks for your responses. Well, I know that the most important service providers in Canada (Rogers, Telus, Fido) transmit 3G in the 850 - 1900 mhz band. I suppose I will not have problems whether I use the T9193
My MT4G is already unlocked so that's already covered.
I know that Tmo uses the UMTS IV band which is the 1700/2100 MHz and in the Philippines they just use the 2100 MHz frequency, so I'm wondering if I can still get 3g speeds or will I only be able to get EDGE speeds?
Thanks guys!
my MT4G works in Kazakhstan. we have european 3G bands (2100)
so, YES. it WILL work
Alright! Thanks for that info. Hope it would really work when I go there this summer.
