Att 4g or 3g

Is there anyway to run the mytouch 4g on att without it only being on edge network?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App

Pretty sure thats a no since the radios are built for different frequencies.

Unfortunately no, the radio in the Mytouch 4G only supports At&t's Edge Network.

probably not
iphone supports only EDGE on t-mobile network, so I assume the hardware designed for phones are only available to the network they were originally made for

if you want to run a MT4G on att go buy a desire HD. same unit but the radio's work on ATTs 3g network. thats basically the only way.

thats pretty much true there unless the phone is running quadband HSDPA. which is very rare nowadays. tmobile just kinda sucks cause they are running a rare HSDPA band while ATT runs a more mainstream. i buy phones from taiwan (HTC headquarters) for my family to use on ATT and their 3G is flawless.

Could you elaborate more on the Taiwan connection? I'm using this device now but would rather go back to the mt4g. Yet considering the match level of chess these companies are playing I need a Bobby Fischer type of device, of which seems to not be available in the YouEss

It's quite simple. all the phones from Taiwan use the same 3g signal as att here for their smartphones. So you can buy phones from there and they will work perfectly fine on att networks here.

I was up for quite some time last night looking for a seller of the Tawian type phones you mentioned. I was lost. Could you be a help and point me into a proper direction? (ie... a responsible source )

Evo 4G On Straight Talk

I have successfully flashed the Evo 4G to Straight Talk.
The only issue I ran into was MMS. I had to use a different program to be able to use the MMS on the evo.
I have internet working on it at 3G speeds. I it way faster then Sprint or Boosts internet.
The network is super smooth.
If you are wondering how to flash the Evo over to Straight Talk please let me know.
###########################
Use APN Backup & Restore to backup, erase, then put these apns in the folder, and then restore them. Reboot and your MMS will work. Tested on HTC Androids Only.
Let me if you tested them on another phone.

Yes please post instructions

i thought straight talk was on tmobile which uses completely different frequencies than Sprint and requires a SIM card which the Evo doesn't support?

Yeah.. thats what I thought also, so not sure how it would be possible. He never replied back to my PM.
Probably just a troll.

I've had my Evo 4G flashed to Straight Talk since November 2011, but I can't get anymore to stick on the network. When I flash any HTC now it always says "unable to authenticate", but the internet works. I have the same problem with Verizon prepaid, so my question is does anybody know the solution to get HTC's to stay on the network?

Straight talk uses recycled phones and uses all cellphone providers. My sister started with a Sprint phone, went to Verizon and now has an ATT phone till she found good service at home.

Oh, didn't know about that one!! Im still very much interested.

Just wondering how you got your Evo to stay on the network? When I flash a HTC it says "unable to authenticate", but the 3G web works lol. Hope you can help.

what do you mean by flashed, are you spoofing the ESN of your evo to that of a Straight-talk supported phone? and that is not working?
I was not aware that straight talk supports CDMA phones...

You will need a donor phone from straight talk first. Buy a Samsung or LG cdma from straight talk first. Then let me know once you have that.
You will need to activate it.
Then you will need to copy NV Items 464-465 and 1192-1194
Copy the PRL
Copy the NAM and evdo settings

Im sure ill be hitting you up once I upgrade and will put my evo on pre-paid.

I have everything working on all HTC and LG androids so far. I did get a Samsung Transform with no mms but it worked really fast the Internet.
Post your questions here. I will try to make a tutorial but I will be using cdma workshop.3.8 so it may be slightly different

[Q] Information on network for motorola atrix

Please help me. I have a motorola atrix 4g. Unlocked. Rooted. Running on t-mobile network. I have 3g contract but all i am getting is edge (which is fricking slow). I know it possible for you to be able to change atrix automatic custom network (which is at&t) to work with t-mobile. Youtube doesn't help cause all i see is bell, sprint and metro pcs. I know it something with the radio. But i need your help thanks.

Do you have any friends who have tmo that you can ask their apn settings? That's my suggestion.

This is true. Carrier radio frequencies do differ in the USA. Wifi is the only high speed you'll get in the USA if you are not on at&t using the at&t Atrix.

Im so angry. But hope something comes up

If you're not locked into a t-mobile contract I suggest going to straight talk, they have a SIM for AT&T version phones and that should get you 3g. Or go for h20 wireless which should get you full 4g speed.

Lol, despite its name Atrix 4G does not have 4G... You need a carrier working on one or two of 850/1900/2100 3g frequencies.

i'd still consider HSPA plus more 4g than Sprint's so called 4g and that wimax thing the original evo has
and I'd consider verizon's 3G more like 2g hahaha

Man im disappointed u should have never brought this phone cuz a friend said I can hack the Motorola custom radio which was at&t to T-Mobile. But he was wrong.

VZW G2 compatibility with GSM

The spec sheet for the Verizon G2 say that it's capable of both world GSM and CDMA, but someone said that it wouldn't work on any other network. Can someone confirm this? I really want the Verizon one because of wireless charging and lack of tabs in settings menu, but it's no good if it won't work.

[QUOTE=droid_
I think it is GSM unlocked but for outside of the US only. And BTW the tabbed settings layout is configurable on all versions.

For the settings, I figured that one out today, so I might just go with ATT. They rooted it flawlessly and plus ATT has the lowest price. Apparently they found it extremely difficult to root the VZW at first because there were no drivers for VS980.

I might be getting the VZW version because I live outside of the US too and my carrier works on 3G 900Mhz and (correct me anyone if I'm mistaken) the AT&T version does not support that band.

Verizon works in the US and is SIM unlocked. Using metro and T-Mobile Sims now as I test out their networks......
Edit: let me also point out you have to add the apn if you want data. You don't have to call Verizon or anything. Just plug in the SIM card of your choice add the apn and you are good to go. This has been done on all verizon LTE phones with SIM cards as long as the phone supports the bands of the network you are trying to use.

Drivers weren't the issue. It just took a while because people didn't realize you had to select "Ethernet" as your USB connection mode. Takes a single tap and you can use the driver that comes on the phone.

Maybe you need a 4G sim? If i remember correctly when 3g came around for orange i had a 3g phone but my sim wasn't 3g so therefore i had to buy a 3g sim card in order for the 3g capabilities on my phone, Unless you ring up 3network and explain to them your having trouble getting 4g on your device,
They'll probably tell you you'll need a new sim or something

According to the site it's a software upgrade from three that's needed
Sent from my C5303 using Tapatalk

There's just not much reliable coverage yet, there's no need for a software update on an android phone, if it's capable it will get it. I often get an lte connection when I'm out and I did no such update

To get 4G when it comes to your area you need to make sure you’ve downloaded all the latest software updates on your 4G device. Your 4G update is not labelled as 4G, so we recommend you download all software to ensure you have access to 4G when it comes to your area.
