T-Mobile G2 on AT&T?

I've been looking for a successor to the Nexus One, and this seems to be it. I just have a simple question, would this work on AT&T? I know I would have to unlock it and it would only be on EDGE, but can I do that?

I'm sure there's a way to unlock it, but it seems pretty pointless to use it on AT&T. I think the real delight to the phone is the fact that it utilizes T-Mobile's new HSPA+ network.

you can unlock it but its useless since you won't be able to get 3G or HSPA+. wrong bands. Just go get a Captivate.

Aww, but it's so pretty. </3

I read yesterday that an AT&T version of the G2 just passed through the FCC.

i only tried it for a little while because i actually have tmobile but i unlocked just for the hell of it. but its really not THAT bad just like how most of the people with tmobile on iphones. but of course compared to the speed that this phone is capable of after HSPA+ is COMPLETELY up and running theres no sense in using it on at&t LOL

Can you post a link? So far, everything points to only T-mobile and Verizon carrying the HTC Desire Z (aka G2) in the US.

more discussion about G2 unlocking here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799830
A senior moderator on XDA should merge "HTC Vision"/ "HTC Desire Z" and "Tmobile G2" into 1 category. What makes it more confusing is that originally the G2 is referred to the HTC hero.... lol

OP wait for Bell Canada to get the Desire Z and get one of those.

HTC One variants [U/UL/WL]

As you probably know, HTC One came out in a few variants. I described these different versions here and here. To sum up:
The important part is, that users with U variant (GSM only) can use custom ROMs based on UL (GSM/LTE) RUU. It is already confirmed by one user, who flashed custom ROM based on 1.28.401.7 m7_ul software on his m7_u unit. Don't be confused - this probably won't enable LTE support on your GSM unit. We are not yet sure if it's possible at all, but it's very likely that once we have S-OFF and SuperCID for HTC One, flashing entire RUU from m7_ul on m7_u device may enable LTE support (of course your network provider has to support LTE as well).
I will keep you posted once I have some more details.
Thanks goodman_east for sharing some info with me!

Very happy about this. With the one x here in the states we had a limited amount of ROMs due to the hardware variations. This is much better news.
Thanks Mike

I am using new One in Taiwan. I already flash ARHD 3.5 in my M7-U new One, fantastic!
It's good to know that we can share xda ROM now. Thanks!

And here I was hours ago trying to insist that HTC One has only the same hardware and is universally flashable yet all users tend not to believe me and keep pointing out the One X & X+.

One X+ and One X have different chip (AP37 vs AP33), different partitions table (separate sdcard partition vs /data/media) and few other differences as well.

but the one x+ international roms where not compatible with the at&t version, yet the hardware was identical.
was that because a kernel difference??

Was it? As far as I know Tegra 3 never had integrated LTE modem and it was a separate component on AT&T One X+. I may be wrong.

So this means the ATT One and The HTC Dev Edition One, and the European are the same, PN0710000 right? That is great news!! European and US versions finally are identical!! I guess the Mods jumped to soon when creating the separate ATT One Forum.. The One X+ needed separating bad because hardware was different, yet they didnt. Now hardware is the same and they are separated..

I will probably be getting the HTC One from T-Mobile UK ia when they get it in stock. Rather than go with 4GEE, I decided to stick with T-Mobile 3G since the price difference probably doesn't justify it.
Would the phone that I probably would receive from T-Mobile be the UL model?

Yes you can use 4G LTE. Fyi 4GEE is a brand name, it's EE. But you're using T-Mobile (are they joined with EE? I can't remember)

ah, right! Well, maybe it's correct then. For now I'm sure that m7_u can use m7_ul software. I don't want to make false assumptions, so let's wait until we know for sure what MID has U.S. AT&T or Verizon HTC One.

My AT&T per order says HTC PN07120, does that mean anything? Or are they all PN07120's?

Carrier IQ found?

Look what I found roaming around kernel wake locks on bettery battery stats. I hope this isn't what I think it is back from 2011 but it sure looks like it.

Thanks for the heads up!

confirmed it is running on ATT.

It does not seem to be on VZW model.
2 people have confirmed it is not installed on the VS980

It can be removed, right?

I checked my Verizon G2 with three different Carrier IQ detectors and none of the three found it.
I'm surprised that AT&T would revive this PR nightmare... hope it blows up in their face.

Does the T-Mobile version support micro-SD? Says they support up to 32gb!?

Sigh. I thought we were passed this. I'm having a hard time caring though this time around. Not sure why.
If I were to guess, LG doesn't have the market share muscle to say no and AT&T insisted on installing it.

ATT comes standard 32gb, probably on T-Mobile too. No SD support on USA phone models from what i've read. Maybe T-Mobile offers a 16gb and 32gb model for some reason? Thought it ONLY came in 32gb?

Just remove these two files: found in /system/lib libiq_client.so and libiq_service.so
You need to be rooted one you remove these you can confirm whether the service is dining by downloading an iq checker in the play store. Remember it's the carriers not lg that included this.
Upon further testing phone FCS during a call if u remove these files...so will have to figure out whatelse needs to be done.

On T-Mobile, at least for the One and S4, it asks whether you want to opt-in for Carrier IQ. I really don't see this as a huge deal but I mean I'm not against removing it either though.

Canadian Variant G900W8 own forum?

I had the note 3 and we didn't have our own forum but Tmobile roms works well with our phones due to ATT having the boot loader locked problem.
Looks like our variant keeps the unlocked boot loader and download booster which was taken out in other models. Which forum can we look to for custom roms when they start popping up? I hope we can get away with the international snapdragon version seeing how that was out earlier.
EDITED 4-24-2014
We dont need our own forum because we can flash other variants except SM-G900H
Flashing SM-G900H Can cause all sorts of problems including brick because its the octacore version not Qualcomm.
I have flashed F and T base roms just fine.

I just got my device. Wondering what forum to use too.

There never seems to be a forum for the Canadian verisons.
Since you have the phone already, do you know what LTE bands the Canadian model variant has?

US Cellular has the same problem. I think sprint is what is most compatible with ours with a couple adjustments.

I beg to differ....
I had the s3, s4, note 2 and note 3 and Att and Tmobile roms always worked better with the right modem flash of course.

I was referring to the LTE frequencies it supports.
This trick works on the S4 so I think it should work on the S5. If you go to the dialer and input *#2263# it should open up the band selection menu. if you click on LTE band preference it should show all the LTE bands it supports.

I installed the update, using KIES. No obvious difference, like you said.

One more vote for a separate section or at least a merged one if our S5 is compatible with another carrier like the S3 was with AT&T, stuff is getting hard to find .

That is just for first few days...actually Oneplus has started this Invite system just to check the demand for their phones so that they don't end up producing a lot more than the demand...After 10 or 20 days, they will start selling it online without the Invite system.

Actually once they receive the package, it generally takes around 3 to 4 working days.... Cost depends on the weight. Four or five phones will cost around 900(at most) per phone. Main problem is customs where you don't know what will be the charge as it simply depends on the mood of the custom officer charging...
