Will the EVO work on Orange 3G Network?

Hey,
I'm from Israel and wondering if the HTC EVO 4G will work on old Orange 3G Network in Israel.
I'm currently using HTC Dream in Orange but I want to replace it with the new HTC EVO.
I didn't find the EVO's network specs beside the fact that it 3G competible :-(
Thanks in advance!

It won't work on your network..evo 4g use cdma technology meaning no sim card so were out of luck if only htc make a gsm version

Thanks for your answare mate.
I'll think I'll take the Desire instead

Will it work on pelephone?

it will not work anywhere in the world except for sprint in the USA right now. it is a cdma phone, which is only USA with verizon and sprint. and its 4g is wimax, which is only sprint in the US. so no, it wont work anywhere else but usa.

anybody know about the verizon samsung charge or htc thunderbolt being able to be unlocked and used in israel?

I don't think so. The US has a different network type than the rest of the world.
Otherwise I'd maybe have had the Evo 4G instead of the X10 and maybe the Evo 3D instead of my Arc. Well, maybe not, I liked my X10 and like my Arc And I'm a se fanboy.

this is very strange and i may need your help here.
i am using the Sprint htc evo 4G in israel.
based on the device i am connecting to data roaming of 3G network which is GSM network and not CDMA... why??
also i am not able to place a call or send sms, again the data roaming is fine and i can browse the internet just fine.

much to my surprise CDMA is actually available in more places than I thought.

Says in here there are many countries that a Verizon handset will work in, one of them being Israel.
Not sure about Sprint though.

How to use 3G Xoom in Viet Nam

Hi All,
Thank you for reading my post.
I am a Xoom 3G user in Viet Nam. I can't use 3G EVDO by Sfone in Viet Nam. Do you have any tutorial that help me use 3G in Viet Nam.
THank you so much.

Hi there vietnamese fellow, I have no idea how to get a cdma device to work in vietnam. I can only give you advice to contact www.tinhte.com site. They should know what you're talking about since they have a xoom too. See if they can help ya.
Good luck.

There isn't a direct way to use the xoom that I know of. You can have several workarounds though.
Use a phone that works on 3g in vietnam with wifi hotspot capability. You see where I'm going?
Similarly, just use the xoom where there is wifi I'm afraid.
I'd love to help you out with this as I'm bringing my xoom with me to vietnam next year, but this is completely out of everyone's hands

Do you have any idea of how to crack out the problems with 3G in Viet Nam, I mean just point out who do I have to ask for help in this world for using 3G EVDO in Viet Nam with Xoom?
Which are the step to go through our 3G CDMA case in Viet Nam because there are too little expert using Xoom in Viet nam for us to get help with this case while we dont know Motorola have official support for the Xoom user in Viet Nam or not. How sad.

As my knowledge, we only can send SMS, phone call, but no 3G can be used. This dramatically drop the user of Xoom, and lack of expert in this field who can help us in Viet Nam.

No 3g for cmda on vietnam, only 1x cmda. If you wanted anything faster in this region then gsm is your only option.

Could you explain me why cant we use 3G in Viet nam because 1x CDMA? Because according to the XOOM specification the net work also 1x CDMA? ( cant attach link because new user dont allow to post link when post below 8.

Sounds like you need to do more research on your question. For starter you dont even know the difference between 3g and 1x. Know and understand the question(s) you want to ask so it would be easier for people to help you.
Just because you buy a street car that can top @ 180mph doesn't mean that you will get those results on dirt roads.

Sorry friend for my noob. But some other phone in Viet Nam can have 3G with the SFONE network except for XOOM.

Ok, what cmda ev-do rev. does sfone support? This is what im talking about. Just because the xoom support a spec doesnt mean all service providers globally support the same thing.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

Hi you again,
According to my opinion SFONE is using CDMA EVDO Rev0, however no confirmation by the operator that they use RevA/B.

This is the link that use Motorola Xoom to call to a phone in Viet nam.

And this is the link for known-3g-confifg in Viet nam but no success.

You seriously want to make a phone call using the xoom? No offense, just wondering.
But isn't the second link what you were looking for?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

No, according to the second link, no 3G used. It was quite inconvenience to use xoom without 3G for sometimes. The first link is just giving addition information of what the xoom community in Viet nam has discovered/test/try.... When posting these links, I hope that it will reduce time for you to help noobs like us in using xoom.

Back to what I first stated, no 3g using cdma in vietnam. I may be wrong or this could change in the future but as for now unless your provider is using rev.a or b your data will use the same stream as voice...dial up speed or slower. Best of luck in your research. Advise, tether using a gsm device.

It seems that the Xoom is too modern for the CDMA network in Viet Nam.
In addition, do you have some background book for the CDMA? I just need to read further on CDMA Rev0, RevA, RevB... to see how it is different.

Sound good to have a thread here to discuss how to active 3G internet connection for Xoom 3G Verizon version in Vietnam. I look forward to hearing more about from you guys who can help us to deal with that.

EDGE is 4G on AT&T. just kidding
I would check what you have it set to under phone options, dail *#*#4636#*#*, and check what band you have selected, as well as correct APN settings.

ATT's 4G bands are not the same at T-Mobile's 4G bands. Wont work no way no how.

@ chris it says gsm/wcdma auto(prl)
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk

AT&T is using 1900 MHz (850 MHz in some markets) for 3G. T-Mobile will use 1700 MHz for download and 2100 MHz for upload or pretend I didn't say anything and keep trying something that isn't doable. that's your call

like jay says it doesn't have the correct network band antennas,
just sell it, new smartphones are coming out weekly.
and 4G is gimmicky, best of luck,

Thank you so much guys for trying to help. Do you guys think if root my phone and install custom rom. Is there any chance of getting 4g speed then?

it's a hardware limitation

check the APNs. I got an Atrix and my downloads on HSPA+ were between 2 and 3. Then I changed the APNs, they had 4 options. THen I got 5-7 downloads. Thats the closest to 4G you'll get on ATT

Are you sure it's not just the amount of traffic in your area?
Here in NYC, i've hit anywhere from 1.5Mbps down all the way up to 6+Mbps down

wow thanks for the info.are you on tmobile also ?
if yes do you mind sharing your apn settings.
i get good 4g speed with mytouch 4g which is tmobile branded device.
Thanks again for your inputs to help me out.

I hate to burst your bubble but there is no way you are going to get the AT&T device to work on T-Mobile's 3G, nevermind "4G"/HSPA. Sorry.

right... It has to do with the phone and the hardware... aka - the stuff they build the phone with. Its like if you try to use a phone to receive xm radio frequencies... it's not going to work... If you have a phone with the ATT bands they will NEVER work the same on Tmobile. But you can get Edge on any GSM network. Hope this helps. Search for att cellular bands on Google and compare them with Tmobile cellular bands.

Sorry to say it but the guys are correct! ALL of the AT&T 4G phone are quad band GSM phones! They work on the 850/1900 frequencies for all data and communication purposes in the USA! T-Mobile uses 1700! So basically you should have done a little more homework before you ran out and spent all that money!
If you are lucky you can still sell it and maybe get your money back!

Wont work at all. Different bands. That is the one crappy part. TMO uses there oddball 1900 MHZ or something like that.

They use 1700 and 2100 (both are required by the phone).

Why change radios?

I currently have the .27_M radio and have noticed there is the newer .30_M radio. What is the advantage to using a newer radio and should I consider upgrading to the latest one?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

New radios aren't necessarily better. If you are happy with the wifi and 3g signals that you are getting, there is no need to flash a new radio.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

As mentioned above, if you are happy with your reception and battery life, no need to flash the radio. People will sometimes flash a different radio in an attempt to improve reception (and battery life related to reception). The "best" radio tends to be locational dependent. The newest one will not necessarily be the best for you in your area.
Some on here will say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" (which I tend to believe). But if you are having reception issues, it might be worth exploring.

Hi I have a unlocked bell htc desire z and I'm not really sure if its 4g because on the bell website it says 4g. if it is 4g I may need to change my radios once the 4g networks are launched here

you trying to hijack my thread -___-

sooo....
if i have a totally unrooted t-mobile g2 that gets horrible reception in las vegas, nv (a pretty big city which shows great coverage on the map), would updating my radio help? should i go thru the trouble of rooting and all that? and what radio would be best for someone in my situation? basically i can sit in one place and go from FULL h+ signal to edge, to just a little edge, to back up to full h+, to just a little h+ to just G, to who knows what else. it's ridiculous.

yea i saw that. i thought maybe i'd get someone with a stronger opinion like "YES DO IT AND USE THIS ONE" or something so it would push me a little haha. it may/may not work isn't really enough to get me going yet... i'm thinking about it though.

I didn't want to create a NEW thread, so I will post here since it's kinda similar to my issue. Please note that I DID the research, just couldn't find anything solid.
If anyone can help, I really appreciate it!
Anyway, I have a Desire Z (Bell, unlocked). I have a AT&T microSIM, put into adapter, put it into my phone.
It says H+ but I'm getting really slow Edge-like speeds.. Can anyone help me please?

Lol that's fine and all, but in the case of radios, there is no "best radio" it's a trial and error of which works best.
I spent a week or 2 to find the right radio back on my old winmo device.

All versions of the Desire Z support HSPA+ (but no other forms of "4G"). Don't know much about Rogers, are they achieving 4G simply by upgrading their 3G network to HSPA+, like AT&T is doing? If so, you should get "4G" speeds as long as the upgrades to the network have been done in your area.
If Rogers is going 4G by adding LTE or WiMax, then no change of radio is going to get you 4G on the Desire Z. Its completely different hardware needed on your phone.

GSM/WCDMA and Orange

My partner and myself have been having real issues on my DHD and her Desire S with reception on Orange. Lots of times the reception will just die completely for a while before coming back and several instances of going straight to voicemail even though phone doesn't ring.
I've done some testing and noticed that if we change them to GSM only, this doesn't happen and reception stays solid. Only problem is that we then obviously only get basic GPRS when mobile and now 3G and therefore have to switch back to WCDMA.
Anybody else come across this or have some solutions?
Many thanks

what area are you in? I have had trouble with orange in Canary Wharf in the past and it was due to my phone connecting to a mast which wasn't working. So I was connected to 3G, but got no calls, sms or data.. LOL.. 3G at the moment is very unstable at orange and I think it is to do with the merge or something with T-Mobile.
Just contact orange on your area and see if there is anything they can do to sort it out

In Exeter but seem to get it most places I go. I do mean to keep trying the o2 sim from my work iPhone to test the difference.
Never had network issues with o2 and kind of regret moving to Orange but hey ho, done now

My friend and I had same issues with our desires when they came out, both on orange and same symptoms. Like someone replied, we were connecting to a dodgy mast in our area. Switching to gsm all ok. Call orange.
