Hi guys just wondering if I bought a atrix and used it in UK will I get 3g internet?
I would also like to know this question because Voda australia is getting a 850MHz upgrade so the atrix will work but I'm not sure about other spectrums.
Find out what Vodas 3G bands are and compare. Google it up. No need for this thread.
Yes the atrix supports worldwide 3g. The only GSM 3G it won't do is t mobile in the us.

I just bought a My Touch 3G Slide on eBay. I got it unlocked in an hour using cellunlock.net for $10 and got it all setup. However, now I'm noticing that it never goes into 3G, just EDGE.
I searched to find if it could even work with Rogers' 3G network and I'm even more confused. So does it work with Rogers' 3G?
I've also seen posts that it works on HSPA. I've used the APNs for Rogers' HSPA and still I'm getting just EDGE. Do I have to update my radio, use CM6 or something?
Sorry, I'm new to the MT3GS. I have a MT3G/Magic and I thought the new one would be pretty much the same except with a keyboard.
I *think* that Roger's uses the AT&T bands for 3G, not T-Mobile. Sorry.

thats correct, Att and Rodgers uses the 1900mhz band and the mt3gs only has the 1700 NA band and the 850/2100mhz EU bands
That sucks. So it won't work on HSPA either then? I though Rogers offers one of those USB modems that works on 2100MHz HSPDA. Will that work with the MT3GS?

It has the 2100mhz band, but that is so you can have 3G when you go to europe. Rogers only broadcasts 1900mhz in CA.
Damn. Oh well, my wife won't know the difference between EDGE and 3G anyway. Thanks.
sorry i don't belong in this forum but how do you guys explain the g1 having 3g then its a tmobile phone does it have a att frequency for no reason?
Rogers actually sold G1s so they probably got their own version that will work on their network.

unlocked g1's from the US work on rogers network.
Beats me. The myTouch 3G Slide I got from the US works too just not on 3G but on Edge.

OK, I finally get that the frequency band is a hardware thing and that Rogers and T-Mobile use different bands.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands
So is it possible to change the actual cell phone radio chip and write a ROM that will work with it? I realize it's crazy, but with all the Android development going on, you'd think someone would have tired to get some device that only worked with T-Mobile to work on At&t.
Is it like the HD2 or will It be 3G on AT&T?

I really like to know the same... if the DHD can get At&t 3g,,, I will get rid of my Vibrant in no time....
The DHD operates in these bands:
HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
3G (HSPA/WCDMA) will not work because USA uses 850MHz/1900MHz bands for 3G. GSM will work everywhere.
I got an HD2 t9193 destined for Australia which worked here.

USA doesn't use 850/1900 AT&T uses 850/1900.
T-Mobile is also in the USA, but they use the AWS 1900/2100 band for 3G.
And to answer th OP question, the European version of the DHD does not support any current 3G bands that any of the major US carriers use.
So what options for US users?

What would you need the DHD for? You've got the Evo.
(Now I'm expecting you to start listing the differences...)
No, I have an Aria after my t9193 hd2 died last week (was 3g here in US and Europe). I was waiting for the dhd so its a stop gap. Or so u thought. I'm on ATT so looks like, if I want 3g, I either keep this or get the Galaxy (but I want sense). Or move to Verizon (not an option) .
Any ideas anyone?

Aside from the DHD being an all-around better device, Sprint sucks. Their "4G" network is slower than my T-Mobile 3G. Not to mention I pay $60/month with T-Mobile and the cheapest Evo plan is $90/month.

If you want a high-end Android device you have the Captivate, and that's about it for AT&T. Unfortunately AT&T put all their eggs in one basket with the iPhone so their Android lineup suffers. You could always go to T-Mobile and get the G2
Does this mean that the phone will not work at all (e.g. cant make or receive calls or txts) or does it mean that you can't use data via 3G (just means you have to use wi-fi)?

It means no 3G data in the US. The phone still supports 850/900/1800/1900 for 2G networks so you'll be able to do calls, texts, MMS, and even data. It's just that you'll be on Edge instead of 3G.
PERHAPS THERE will be a Telstra version?

I wish but this time I am afraid our luck is a little short unlike last time for the HD2 . Let's just hope that HTC will bring out a much more powerful device sometimes in Q1 2011 for users with 3G (850/1900Mhz)
hey guys..quick question. My friend in Canada wants to get the NS and wants to know if it will work on the sasktel network.
Any information?
thanks
It'll work, but not on 3G, judging by what I can find.
Also, there is an NS sub-forum...
I'm currently using the Nexus One on Sasktel's 3G, so I don't see why the Nexus S wouldn't work on it as well.
There are two types of Nexus One...
I'm aware, but don't really know the difference between them. My network type is HSDPA, Sasktel recently launched their 3G+ network in all major cities/towns in Saskatchewan, so if your friend is in a major town/city shouldn't be a problem.
The difference between them is the 3G/HSDPA frequencies they support.
Your most likely using the ATT model but the ns is a t-mobile model with supports 1900mhz not 1
2100 like ATT so it will work with edge but not 3g. You will have to wait for the ATT model ns

I saw Verizon Xoom teardown and it have gsm chip for it LTE.
Could it possible to use gsm 3g on Verizon Xoom by using Uk 3g rom or voice versa?
NO, the sim slot is for their LTE network.
Actually I do believe the xoom can work on GSM. I just got mine and they show it as a global device. And I only know of a few countries who use cdma.

You're right, my friend.
I live in Brazil and here 3g network is GSM. furthermore, Brazilian Xoom, model MZ605, is the only one that works on any type of 3g network.
Unfortunately, we don`t have HC3.1 yet. And I flashed a Verizon 3G image on my Xoom and lose my 3g connectivity. Now, I`m trying to identify if there is any other Xoom model that works on 3g GSM network, so I'll be able do reflash my Xoom to get back my connectivity.
I'm confused with all I have read till now. Will my MS2, bought in Brazil, work in any 3g network in US? My MS2 supports 850/1900/2100 bandwidth. Wanna get a SIM Card for prepaid plan whith 3g connection for my 3 weeks staying in the states.
Tks

It works fine in North and Latin America. Also works in other places, but not 3G data connection (I think).

It will work with GSM carriers anywhere in the world.. not CDMA ones.
I am in Chicago (US) and a brazillian Milestone 2 works perfectly on 3G with AT&T
