Hi guys, i have already searched the forums and cant find anything related to my title. Basically i would like to know if i could use my hd2 on at&t 3g network and how can i do it. I know i can unlock my hd2 by asking t-mobile but would it work on at&t? Thanks in advance
yeah it works on at&t network but not as 3g. It gets E which is the edge. If you search the forum there's a cab file that will program the phone so you can use data connection with at&t network. I got my phone unlocked via tmobile and have been using it with at&t for a couple weeks now without any problems.
SO you are basically saying that i can do anything i can already do with the phone on t mobile on at&t but except have 3g? So i would have to use edge as my data connection for internet? And how does sms work? Any settings to change to get it to work?
Install this cab file, its all you need to do

These are the att settings everything will just work
on att, you can use gprs/edge , but of course no 3g
You have to have T-Mobile account to get the HD2....they don't sell them unlocked... after 40 days of use on a t-mobile account, t-mobile customer service will provide youw ith an unlock code, not before...

I'm wondering, if the radio can be flashed to support AT&T 3G band, or components are different...

No, can't be flashed to work on AT&T 3G. You would have to get the Australian Telstra 9193 model which uses the 850 band that AT&T uses. That's the only way to use AT&Ts 3G with the HD2. The bands are set in the hardware.

this is incorrect. anyone can get the hd2 without contracts @full price of 450 plus tax. they will also unlock it in 1 to 5 days if you paid full price.got mine from wirefly, and had it unlocked in 2 days.

I have an HD2 on AT&T and everything works, but not fine! If I am browsing the internet and the phone tries to update the weather or mail, really anything else that accesses data in the background it will stop my data connection everywhere. It seems the only way to fix this is a hard reset sometimes, at the very least I have to exit the browser, open the task manager, kill everything, and turn off the data connection in the wireless controls and turn the data back on... My questions to the others who are using this phone on AT&T are 1) are you experiencing the same problems? 2) What did you do to fix this. I have installed the above mentioned cab file for settings and I have also manually entered the settings. I would love the phone even though it only has EDGE except it cant hold a data connection for more than 10 minutes at a time.

Well due to the type of connection that EDGE is, you cannot be on the internet and talk on the phone at the same time. This would also go for all applications that use the data connection...only one at a time. This was the case on the pre-3G phones like the HTC Wizard (Cingular 8125).

The phone cannot and will not get 3G when used on the AT&T network, despite what your icons show...the hardware simply isn't capable. Period.
Bought my unlock code through ebay for $14.00 and had the phone unlocked in 20mins. HD2 works great now.

G = GPRS
E = EDGE
look them up on wikipedia if you want more info but.....
GRPS is older and slower than Edge, GRPS max speed in ideal conditions is somewhere i the upper double digits/ lower triple digits. You might be lucky to get into the 200kbps range with EDGE.
In the end both suck compared to being able to get tmobile's 3g signal which ive personally seen hit 5mbit/s here in tampa now that HSPA+ is deployed. Being able to get ATT's 3g might get you right around 1mbit if lucky. I dont know what if any plans ATT has for HSPA+ deployment

(edited url cause I can't post as a new user)
I used this .cab file and while I can browse the web, I can't seem to send MMS pictures using my AT&T sim, are there other settings I have to change?
EDIT: I found the answer here, after a bit more searching! Thanks all, forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6695081&postcount=13
I just bought the hd2 and planning on unlocking it to work on AT&T. I know that I will be getting Edge instead of 3g. But can someone plz explain to me how does it work as far as data plans and mms. Do i need to have a data plan to send mms or mms will be sent through edge. and as for data and web browsing , do i have to have a data plan or since when i go online i will be on edge so i dont need a data plan

90 Days, unless they changed it. 3 phones unlocked, 90 days between each.
would the samsung focus work on tmobile network if i had the unlock code?
3G and all?
thanks i've searched online and didnt really find anything helpful
if you get the focus unlocked, it will work on tmobile, but you wont get the 3G speeds. Only EDGE, since the focus does not have the required HSPA frequencys used by tmobile.
thanks a lot, thats all i needed to know, Disappointed tho
Reviving this thread. So I have a Samsung Focus unlocked on Tmobile and I cannot get data to work. Any ideas on what could help? i have already added my apn of internet2.voicestream.com
Have you tried epc.tmobile.com
yes I have with no luck but thanks
in the usa depending where you are they either use epc.tmobile.com or wap.voicestream.com might try the network profile app too... i know samsung has addressed this issue and is in the process of fixing it to where when the unit is unlocked the settings from any gsm carrier will work... there is also a homebrew app somewhere that has worked with mixed results too...
ive tried those apns as well. thanks. and i tried the network profile app too any idea where i can get these homebrew apps?
probably in this forum or the wp dev forum here.....

Samsung Focus Unlock Code
I hope this isn't an issue, as I just ordered a Focus to replace my wife's v1 iPhone on T-mobile USA.
Anyone know a good place to get an unlock code?
The one on unlockcellphonecode.com/ is $45.00 which seems really high to me.

Post of the year! When you figure this **** out let the reddit cloud know.
As far as the frequency concerned, AWS spectrum used by T-Mo is 1700 and 2100 MHz.

ATT Samsung Focus on Tmobile
To anyoe else thinking about getting a Focus to use on Tmobile USA network....
I can confirm everything is working and this is how I got it to work.
Everything works except obviously 3G because att and tmobile use different frequencies for 3G (until the merger at least) 2G works great though.
First thing you need to do is either get an unlock code from ATT (unlikey) or go to FastGSM.com and for 19.00 you can get your phone sim unlocked, so that your tmobile sim will work.
Now your phone works and my data was working out of the box as well.
However, you will not be able to send or recieve MMS messages.
To fix this, go to the market and clck on Samsung Apps, then install their Network Configuation app. Open the app and change network from ATT to Tmobile USA and now MMS will work perfectly.
Hope this info helps someone else.

WOWWWW I was searching to see if an unlocked ATT Focus with be able to MMS on T-Mobile US network. Thanks for the information.
I have a Focus and called ATT for unlock code. They said the unlock code will be provided after May 8th. So waiting for a month before I can use it on T-Mobile US.
My only concern was whether I would be able to send and receive picture messages. I hope your solution works next month!!
Please help! I moved to Australia and cant use any data functions on the Optus network. Optus uses 900/2100mHz for both the 2G and 3G networks. They utilize UMTS and HSPA...the same as T-mobile (the folks I intentionally bought my phones from). I know the Glacier doesnt do data at 900mHz, but I can't even get a connection at 2100mHz. I called HTC customer support and Virgin Mobile Australia. Both companies are stumped and say it should work, but it doesn't. 2 phones, 2 sim cards, no data. Voice and SMS work fine. I added the Virgin Mobile APN per their settings, still nothing. Ideas? Is there a patch required to be Aussie compatible?
Second issue, my wife's phone is very weak when it comes to WiFi, I have seen this is a known issue. Is there a fix now that mailing it back isn't an option?
Please help. I have two great smart phones that aren't so smart right now.
Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays.
Resolved. Don't input the APN settings, just enter the APN name and the phone figures out the rest. No luck with wifi.

So it is definitely working for you? I wanted to get the HTC Glacier as well (i.e. mytouch 4G). If I got it unlocked, would it work on the 3 Australia network? Specifically, are you getting 2G speeds for data usage on your phone, or are your getting 3G speeds. I want to be able to use it in Australia as well. It's a lot cheaper than some of the other phones available with similar specs in Australia.
Sorry for slow reply. Yes, I am getting 3g speeds on Optus/Virgin network. I do not get MMS though or video calls. I only get internet and SMS. Good luck.
Cool thanks for ur help, managed to get it to work in Australia on 3 (dunno about other networks), although from what I've heard the 3G won't work in rural areas because they use a different frequency.
Just got a T-mobile mytouch slide and am on the Mobilicity network but can't get data connection to work. Does anyone know how I can get the data connection to work?
Welcome to my world.
I have an HTC HD 7 and can't get the data connection to work on Mobilicity either. It should since it's a T-Mobile branded phone and they use the same frequency. Sometimes it actually does work for a day, then it stops for 2 days. Not sure what is going on, HTC is clueless and acts like it's not there issue. Mobilicity says it's not there issue. I know it's not an OS issue.
Not sure what to do, I'm giving up on Mobilicity soon and HTC phones.
might be a stupid question but have you two set up the proper APN settings for Mobilicity?
I bought a Htc Verizon Trophy and had it factory unlocked by Verizon . Popped in my AT&T sim card and it only gets edge and not 3G . I performed several hard resets and entered the correct APN settings and still no 3G. T-mobile sim card works also but edge is expected. Voice and Internet work great but I was under the impression that it was dual mode and has the AT&T 3G radios and should work on 3G.
Any suggestions or pointers on getting the 3G working?
Thanks
Download "HTC Connection Setup" under the HTC apps in the Market. Select AT&T from the settings and it should help you out.
Also, make sure your AT&T area offers 3G coverage. In my area of Northwest PA, 3G coverage is almost none existent. Basically, if your sim allowed 3G on another phone before, it should be okay (or check AT&T coverage map).
Be careful, I used this program to set my Verizon settings and now I can't get data on Verizon anymore. . Guess that's what I get for playing around.

Did you restore your trophy to a backup from before you used HTC connection setup? I just did the interop unlock for my trophy as well and I cant get 3G data back. Im hoping restoring the phone to an old backup will fix the problem. Verizon better not have somehow blocked our phones from getting 3G!
