No 3G on T-mobile USA - Desire HD General

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.

3G problem

Hi first post here.
Just got my GT i9000 and unboxed.
Popped in my sim card from my 3gs and everything works except 3g. I get an EDGE connection, but no 3g.
Typed in *#*#4636#*#* and it seems like I'm stuck on GSM/CDMA. Wanted to change it to WCDMA but can't get it to "set". Provider AT&T USA
Any help or advice would be sincerely appreciated.
Thanks
Thought I'd bump this thread.
Any Ideas? Surely someone's had this exact same problem with the i9000 on att. I also realize WCDMA isn't going to work for me, not in the States.
If you're not in an area with 1900 MHz service you won't get a 3G signal. That's the only band on the i9000 compatible with AT&T's 3G.
If you know for a fact you are then you'll have to wait for someone else to help.
Thanks for the reply.
I popped the sim back into my iPhone and got a 3g signal. I'm assuming that's 1900mhz. What a mess!
Check that you have an apn provider entered into your APN settings..
I have a choice of ATT & Tmobile. I'm wondering if I'm in a 3g 850 area. Maps say 850/1900 & 1900.
Man it would suck to sell this phone before enjoying it!
i sent mine in for replacement. Hade the exact same problem. Really hope it works when its back

Confirmation of G2's 3G frequency band

Hey all.. I just got my unlocked G2 to work on my local carrier's 3G. Im from the Philippines which only supports Band I (2100) UMTS. Turned out that my old sim wasn't 3G ready/activated and I wasnt able to connect to the 3G network before. Bought a newer sim, inputted the right APN settings and I was good to go. Now I can browse and access the internet/market on my phone wherever I go.
The G2 is indeed an international device. Thanks for all the help.

[Q] help, cannot get at&t 3g internet and 4g also

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?

Net 10 apn settings

I come to realize almost every t-mobile phone in my area only gets 2g. Why If the phone is unlocked ? I have a net10 att simcard which i should get 3g though i dont. Is there files i can delete or switch radio for the mytouch 4g to get better signal or custom rom? Any help i'd appreciate thanks.
