T-Mobile HD2 running on AT&T

Hi I have picked up a HD2, unlocked it and running on AT&T network in US. My phone always says "E" as the network which is for Edge network. How do I adjust the setting/etc to ensure I am using the fastest network which AT&T offers? thanks for your help. do I need to install a AT&T cab for it? is there a cab? do I need to tweak any settings?
thanks in advance

The HD2 will only work on AT&T's edge network. No AT&T 3G with the T-mobile HD2 version.

Thanks! is that the fastest network AT&T has? IF NOT, how can I enable the option to use the fastest network line?

You're stuck. Unless you import the Telstra HD2 from Australia, you will never have 3g data on at&t. It's a hardware issue. Buyer beware.

Do a thread search there are some that have gotten faster speeds (up to 500kbs) with a workaround.
But unfortunately the T-Mo phone is physically incapable hardware-wise to do 3g speeds.
IF you NEED the 3g speeds than search the threads for the HD2 model # t9193. The phone is from Australia and has the hardware to work with ATT 3g

if you dont mind me asking were to get the rom to flash my us t mobile hd 2 to usa att please help my email [email protected] are cell is 228-313-9380 name leon

Yea, do a search for my thread where I talked about this. All it does is opening up a proxy to give you a somewhat faster browsing. As a note: it might or might not work in your area.

just search for the latest htc connectionsetup and select AT&T to run.

Tmobile 3G on International Edition (GT-P1000)

I am testing the International Edition of the Samsing Tab (GT-P1000, with the phone functionality built in out-of-the-box and the white backplate). Here in the US, when I insert an AT&T SIM card I get 3G speeds (peaked at 6 MB downstream recently), but when I insert a Tmobile SIM card I seem to only get EDGE speeds (not 3G, around 0.1 MB downstream). The Tmobile SIM card works at 3G speeds on another phone, so I know it's not he SIM card. I can get voice calls on both Tmobile and AT&T with no problem.
Does the International Edition (GT-P1000) have the US 3G Tmobile bands?
Any input is welcome, thanks.

Welcome to the fray. Grab a beer and get comfy... because the Euro version does not play with TMobile's 3G network in the US.
If you are technically inclined, it seems we could use some more hands trying to figure out a fix for this issue.

The T-Mobile Tab does not have the hardware to support European 3G bands... That's why I believe the euro firmware people are flashing only works for voice/edge on T-Mob...

That would make sense that the International (Euro) version does not have US Tmobile 3G bands... it makes me wonder if the limitation is in the hardware or software.
Do we have any indication that the limitation is in the software, other than the fact that a US Tmobile version exists?

I am certainly no authority on any of this, but this looks to be incorrect. From my reading of the posts on this issue... the Euro version of the Tab (specifically, its modem.bin file) isn't set to work with TMobile's 3G network as the that network operates on a frequency that isn't used in Europe.
User rotohammer looks to have the most knowledge on what it is going to take to make this happen -- but keep in mind that most of us have TMobile Tabs and are needing a solution with that fact in mind. The general thought was that we could use the firmware from a Euro version to give us voice-calling capability, and then hack-in support for TMobile's 3G network.
sheesh, I wish I would have paid attention in school because I want to be a bit more useful with all of this.

According to what I have figured Out....it disappointed me too, But!!
GT-P1000 is not capable of running 3G Tmobile network
The Hardware CPU, Radio Chip...is capable and is switchable to the band of 1700/2100 MHZ.
The Radio Amplifier is not Capable of 1700/2100 MHZ bands....so us who have International Version of the Tab is Screwed!!!
The proof = I flashed my GT-P1000 using Tmobile Modem to switch and ENABLE 1700/2100....I can only have Edge+Voice...when I flash to T849 modem....the Tab gives No Signal
if the GT-P1000 was capable of handling 1700/2100 Bands easily then my Tab should do 3G only by using T849 TMobile Tab modem Bin
I am a google nooby and is doing what I could....those are what I found out...seem like I have to sell my GT-p1000 Soon.

This is the only way...yeah...wait til TMobile release Phone + data on tab...or switch to ATT
The international version and the ATT tab is about the same....the 1700 mhz band is shot out.....
Samsung exclusively included 1700 for US tmobile just as they exclusively make cdma tab for the sprint and verizon.......
No hope....m selling mine, or return to the place i bought from and lose 200 usd
****If buying this tab for phone call and edge only***** I rather go for the Ipad 2 or Iphone 5 in a few months
US tmobile have a unique stupid bands on their 3G....and all of the phones or tabs they have suck monkey *****....

Hi everyone I was reading Motohammers post in the developers form about being able to get 3G on a GT-P1000.
My question is this... It's my friends tab and I am not able to get 3G at all. He doesn't care about being able to use the phone, but would like to use 3G data if he is out of wifi.
info in the tab:
firmware= 2.2
baseband= P1000XXJHA
Kernel ver= 2.6.32.9
[email protected] #1
build number= FROYO.XXJMA
I followed Rotohammers T-Mobile Modem Switcher, but am getting
stderr: Unable to chmod /data/local/tmp/
redbend_ua: No such file or directory
stderr: /data/local/tmp/redbend_ua: not found
I followed the directions exactly and still no go... followed another guys post to install files on the internal sd card and still can't get 3G to come up no matter what.
The SIM card I am using is from a Galaxy Captivate S with voice and Data (6gig plan) on Rogers....
Any ideas?
Thanks very much!
M.

@fishguyis
Have you tried flashing a Rogers modem? At the end of your post you say you are using a voice/data sim on Rogers, not sure if you have tried this or if it will even work but as far as I know if you flash a modem that doesn't work you just won't have a signal, and you can just flash back to a modem with signal, if you got the modem switcher working and you just don't get a signal or if you only get edge, most of the time you can rename another modem to match roto's modem name in the switcher and swap the modem you want to flash with the modem that roto includes with the switcher, like if you want to try a Rogers modem just rename it to match and swap with roto's included 3g modem, I hope that is not to confusing I can't think of any other way to explain it, I hope this helps in anyway and I hope you get it working.

hey what worked for me is i put the modemswitch folder into the INTERNAL memory[main folder] and i also put the switch.sh file into INTERNAL..
iono why it wasnt working on my external SD[got same errors as you] but once i did this...everything worked fine and i didnt get the error you got.
let me know if that helps you. as of right now my modemswitch folder is still located in my internal memory and i can switch back and forth easily.
edit- didnt see that u did this already. umm try to do it a few times. last night it wasnt switching for me.. so i charged the tab all the way up, switched my wifi off and did it again this morning and it switched for me..

i must say the euro tab is nice and the 3g works good, i was video chatting earlier with no lag and even hit H speeds, not sure the big difference between 3g and H tho.
oh yeah my sim was from my tmo vibrant/g2 so it seems like we have the same set up, just dont understand why you are getting that error.

I am not sure if this makes a difference but the GT is from Bell Mobility and if I go to "wireless/network", "mobile Networks", network mode, I get GSM/WCDMA (auto mode)
GSM only
WCDMA only
Does that mean there is no 3G available at all?
Thanks for your patience, I have been reading like crazy...

[Q] My phone just have Edge, please help

hi guys, i recently buy a HTC my touch 4G during a travel to U.S. when i came back to my country (panama) and try to use a 4G SIM cards from two different companies but it just show edge in the notification bar.

well that is what i thought. my bad, didnt know there was a thread about it
EDIT: i misread the question...whoops! thought he meant that he is going to the USA from panama, but its the other way around

It has to do with radio frequency T-Mobile uses 1700mhz for 4g depends on what other carrier's use and in which country

It also could be that this is a question and needs to be asked in q&a section. Where are all the moderators?

According to all the information I can find - the only frequencies used for HSPA (3G but some carriers brand it as "4G") in Panama are 850 and 1900. The MyTouch 4G does not have either of those bands. Most T-Mobile phones do not, although a few newer ones do (Amaze, SGSII, Exhibit II).
All 3G/"4G" smartphones from AT&T do have the correct compatible 3G bands for carriers in Panama. So... you should have bought an AT&T phone, not a T-Mobile phone.
Sorry. I guess you'll have to do your research next time. Maybe you can sell it on eBay to someone who lives in Europe, Africa, Asia, Canada, USA, Aruba, Brazil, Uruguay... these are the locations which have networks that are compatible with the MT4G.

using AT&T phone with T-mobile SIM card

Would it be a problem using the AT&T branded SGH-I337 sim-unlocked phone with the T-Mobile SIM card here in the States?
I was told at T-Mobile store today that the voice calls and SMSs should be no problem, but mobile internet would be a big issue.
I don't know whether it's worth or even possible to reflash the phone with T-Moblie firmware.
The reason being I have 1 bar or signal at home (or even less when it rains), regular phone with international SIM card does not even pick up ATT - T-M only...
They gave me free ATT 3G MicroCell - got the full bar but in the weak areas other party still hears mostly distortion.

no,it be a problem, i bought my GF a T-Mobile unlocked S4 model M919 and she uses it on LTE here in canada all the time. Rogers and ATT have very similar networks so NO, it would def not be a problem

It will work regardless. But if you want to make it pick up all of tmobiles bands you need to unlock aws.. I did it yesterday. Worked fine without it but works way better with it... Didn't take long and was easy. Just follow the steps
FYI you Dont need tmobiles firmware. You just need your phones frequency's unlocked so its more compatible to T-Mobile. Att uses 1900 frequency and T-Mobile uses 1700, 1900 and 2200 I believe. Atts phone dont have the other frequencies unlocked without you doing it

AT&T lg g2 using tmobile sim, No 4g/LTE

Hey, I've used xda plenty in the past before but never had to post a question so bear with me.
I bought a att lg g2 and a tmobile sim to go with it. I can only get 3g, no lte. Its very slow. I did some reading and it looks discouraging. I live in south texas.
Is there anyway to turn on the radio bands i need to make 4g/lte work? I saw a thread about how to turn on lte for custom roms. Will that work or not? I think tmobile uses bands 17 19 and 21. There are those bands in the hidden menu on my phone but idk. It looks like some att lg g2s work with tmobile lte and others do not. Thanks for your help.
Ps. Im on another forum where the attitude towards noobs is like xda's so take it easy on me lol.

Yes, its rooted and unlocked for different carriers. Su is installed but not a custom recovery. Im not really interested in installing a custom rom at this point.

From the carrier pages:
AT&T LG G2 has bands 1,2,4,5 & 17
T-Mobile LG G2 has: 2,4,7 & 17
7 is 2600MHz so it's not relevant for the US
I would say it's not a phone capability problem
The T-Mobile LG G2 has a seting in networks for network mode: GSM, WCDMA, GSM+WCDMA, GSM+WCDMA+LTE
The same can be achieved with the Phone Info app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=myc.phone.PhoneInfo
Also make sure you are using the fast.t-mobile.com APN http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090

That apn you linked above does not work on my phone. I talked to a tmobile rep this morning and thats the one he gave me. When that one didnt work i got referred up the line to a rep that sent me texts with setting patches that supposedly set my phone up like a tmobile one but i didnt get 4g/lte from that and it wasnt the lte apn. I did, however, find another fast.tmobile.com apn with a little bit different settings than the one linked above that gave me 3g. Im at a loss, I guess.

LTE works fine on this phone, I use a D800 on T-Mobile, you just need the LTE APN. That's what I use on mine.

Im using the apn from this link and no 4g. Just edge. Its a lte apn tutorial. I know i have tmobile lte in my area. Thanks for the help so far tho.
