Touch HD in Canada

HI Guys,
Looking to buy a Touch HD to run on the Rogers network in Canada.
Keen to hear from others who are already using the phone in Canada to hear of their experiences of the device running on Rogers?
Also seen that the 850 3G band device is now available in Australia so was thinking this might give me 3G in Canada. Anybody imported one into N. America and had any luck with this?
Thanks,
P

I have one on Fido/Rogers near Toronto, works great besides no 3G. Such a solid device and edge is fast enough for web surfing and email on devices like this due to bottlenecks in hardware. Wifi, Bluetooth and GPS are also strong on the Touch HD too.
The Telestra model may work on 850, mine is 900/2100 though

Thanks for the info. Has anybody actually got the Telestra model working on 3g in north america?

I agree with Zero...everything except 3G works well here (Vancouver). I've even got Caller Name Display going, which is great.

I am also using one here in Toronto. As with all above, everything works well except 3g.

Toronto here too. Works great. I use WIFI mostly and it works great. Won't pay the ridiculous monthly fees that Rogers charges for data. I bought mine from pdaplaza.ca in Quebec.

i think all of us got it early before the Telsa one came out so none of us will be using 3G here.

I just flashed the Telsa rom.....still no 3G.......suck....

Yes I would get the Telstra HD as well. Even if it's slightly more money. The 3G is worth it.

Those of you having one working, could you tell me what rom you have...
i have trouble registering into network and when i do...signal is ther but cannot make calls or receive them.
thanks

I have the T8285 (Telstra version) in Montreal. Works great on 3G network (Rogers). I have a solid and fast HSDPA when browsing the Internet.
It was working with original ROM, but flashed a Dutty 6.1 ROM the first day. I flashed few Dutty's 6.1 updates, and now I run Dutty 6.5 R8 without any issue. Those last ROMs are "shipped" with Radio 1.14, but I reverted to Radio 1.10 because the sound level was to low for my taste with Radio 1.14 (but was still working).
I have also tested a few 6.5 Miri ROM (working well).
So, I did not experienced any issue with any ROM...

Touch HD with Fido
Hello, I am using touch hd from sweden and now I am using with fido in Kitchener Ontario, but I can not get good signals and hardly can call any one and can't recieve calls, however if I am outside then I can get better signals and can call or recieve. I have a feeling it is because of 900 frequency. Is any one have idea what I can do? Thanks

touch HD T8282 working very well in Toronto except 3G. I have stock 1.56 rom WWE radio 1.13.25.24 very clear and strong signal even indoors

You need T8285 hardware. no matter you do (flashing radio and rom). It won't change the UMTS signal to 850. It is hardware related.

Change HD2 frequency band

OK I have done some searching around on this topic and I'm finding a lot of mixed information. I'm currently on the Rogers network here in Canada and I managed to get my hands on an HD2 for next to nothing. So I jumped on the chance to have a "boot whatever the heck you want phone". However, while initially researching the phone I only quickly looked over the supported frequencies for the phone to ensure that I could use in on Rogers. Of course it will work as a phone just fine, however, it will not support 3g....apparently.
Started searching about for a way to change the phones frequency and some are saying it is possible to flash another radio for say the European version and some are saying that's not possible. I'm inclined to think it is not possible and that it is a hardware limitation. I figure that this is the best place to look for some real answers. Anyone have some insight into this matter? Oh and if it is a hardware issue and it can be changed....I'm not afraid to take the whole phone apart to try it. Ive done my share of tear downs on other phones....just for the heck of it.
Thanks in advance

only the telstra model will give you 3g on rogers.
hardware, and not changeable
yes you can change the radio (if youhave a tmous ((t mobile us)) then you need to be REAL careful which radio you flash) but changing radio has no effect on the bands.
this forum is for the regular hd2, the tmous (if that's what you have) can be found here

If you have the T-Mobile US version then you can use it on Wind Mobile here in Canada. This is what I'm doing and everything works great, including the 3g. I've loaded Android on it and I absolutely love my HD2!

I actually bought a Telstra (Montreal Fido user) because we don't have Wind here... Telstra works great. Got it off ebay from a nice aussie fellow. I wanted the Tmous one for the extra ROM space, but hey... As long as Android runs on it, I'm more than happy!

[Q] Help with builds

I have a HTC HD2 and looking for a build that works good with AT&T. The phone I have is from China and is unlocked. I have tried several builds and have issues with 3g on all of them. Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks

Well this answer is quite easy. You say your phone is from china? Is it a real HD2 or a chinese knockoff? Anyways the chinese knockoffs don't have 3G I believe. And if its a real HD2 only the Telstra T9193 is capable of 3G for ATT. So unless your phone has the Telstra and NextG logos on the back you won't get 3G on ATT with any build.
Also this is the wrong section to be asking this.

thank you
Thank you for your reply. and sorry its in wrong section

[Q] 3G no working

I am currently in the USA and that is reason why I decided to decode my HTC HD2 before departure. Decoding is inserted last rom and everything is working properly at all, except now I haven’t 3G on phone (Im on AT & T). After few days I went in their office, but without solutions, they said ... Sorry but no phone purchased from us. Help if you know how.....edge is so slow
p.s. I have windows 6,5.

Hardware issue I suspect, if you have an EU or TMOUS HD2 it will not have the radio hardware & bands for at&t 3G. only at&t & Australian telstra HD2 models have the hardware & band specs for 3G on at&t.
Do a search on this via XDA or Google as well discussed here on XDA & many other forums ..

check your radio rom, please... good luck..

Radio rom has nothing to do with it. It's a hardware thing. The chip set used in T-Mobile and European phones do not have the right bands to connect to 3g on At&t it's that simple. There is nothing that can be done about it other then buying a phone that belongs on At&t.

Thanks all of you, Wil Badgeru is 99,9% right, my phone is not for USA.

Atrix 4G UK model - Radio

Hi
I just wondered if it was possible to install the baseband-N_01.77.36p radio on a Neutrino rom on a UK model Atrix??
I would love to have some radio that this was suppose to have in the first place?

Surely there's someone who has installed this?

What are you on about...?
Firstly, the UK model is NOT 4G, and will not achieve the so called AT&T 4G speeds. Yes it supports HSPA+ (Which ATT call 4G) but its not the same class as theirs.
Second of all, why do you want to install an AT&T radio on a non AT&T phone? There are plenty of radios for your phone.
It should work, but I don't see the point, also, you may get a false 3G reading i.e your signal will always be 1 bar.

im using an atrix on Everything Everywhere in the UK using N_01.100.00R with no issues, works very well for me.

Me too, but radio performance is weaker on my Atrix than my HTC Hero! In the same place connected to the same cell. Better radio performance would be a real improvement to this h/s.

What's the stock radio in the UK 2.3.4 build?
