Hello every one my name is Mike S.
I am the owner of a site called PremiumReview, i do reviews on Android base phones and other little things.
I'm looking to get a new Android phone I REALLY want the HTC Desire. But a few things its only available at telus and im on rogers(that's easy solvable, get it unlocked).
the biggest problem i am having is the telus does not have a EDGE/GSM network and only a CDMA/GSM. So I can load the phone up fine it will connect to rogers 3G network but if i get out of coverage of rogers 3G it loses all signal because the telus ROM on the phone doesn't know to look for EDGE only CDMA(that rogers doesnt have). So my questions is
1)how can I make the phone see Rogers EDGE network? and I would like to keep the HTC Sence UI
2)Dose any one have a modified ROM that they could send me / that could possiably unlock it to possiably a paypal cash reward. Expacly if it unlocks it to
I just bought a HTC desire (telus brand) to use on the att network. Will I have the same problem?

Hi All,
I have been researching the new HTC EVO 4G, and i love it. I have been an iPhone suck in the past and have finally realised why apple should stick to making things looks nice rather than function well.
I have been reading that the HTC EVO runs on the CDMA network which Australia had turned off in 2006,
Is there any modification that can be made for this brilliant phone to work in Australia.
If so please inform me as i will be buying one asap.
Thanks in advance
Hey, I don't believe there is anything you can do as you would have to replace the radio on the phone and associated firmware. Another down side to using the evo in australia is the is no 4g service available.
Technically (I think) it should work with Vivid Wireless which is a new WiMax provider. They are only in Perth at the moment, but are due to launch over east very soon.
The problem though is that Vivid is only an internet provider. If you wanted voice calls you would need to use their VoIP service (or someone elses).
I just got an ATT Inspire, unlocked. I am using Movistar in Venezuela.
I DO connect to different WiFi´s, but then the phone would not navigate. It navigates perfectly while on Edge, H or 3G.
I previously had an HTC Desire HD but as Movistar does not have 3G on the frequency of the standard HTC DHD I got the ATT version.
I could connect to WiFi´s and navigate without problems in the original (non-ATT) HTC DHD.
Could this be an ATT restriction?
Any ideas?

Well Wifi is wifi pretty much everywhere you go. Have you tired connecting to secure and non secure. You might want to do a data factory reset. This might rest the settings that is not allowing you to connect.

If I do this, would I lose the "unlocked" status of my phone?... I am not an ATT user, you see.
Moved to general as not android development
I bought the htc sensation and unlocked it for use for AT&T. I have roamed the entire web trying and testing different settings to get MMS working but nothing ever works. Does anyone know the proper settings for AT&T and will the sensation be able to use AT&T 3G ever???
No 3g for you! Ever! Hardware compatibility problem.
I have an unlocked ChaCha that i am using to replace one of my HD2's (one running WM7 dual booted with Android 2.3.3, and one im replacing is strictly Android 2.2)
Anyway i have this ChaCha unlocked and popped my sim card in and everythign works fine except even after putting the different APN's out there for Tmobile US, im still only connecting to Edge (at least thats waht it says in the data connection area in the status bar)
i tried doing a Mobile Connection Test and i got results in the 3g range..so im confused.
Then i did a test on my HD2 WM7 and got results in the 4g range. Is my ChaCha running HSPL / 3G and just says "E" for edge or do i need to modify / edit something else?
Any help would be appreciated. If i confused anyone please let me know and i can clarify because i really need to figure out whats going on
actually i dont think at all its running at 3g speeds because downloading skype from android market just took a couple minutes, where as my HD2 does it within seconds
I only typed in wap.voicestream.com.
You will only get EDGE if you use your t-mobile sim. The radio frequencies are not the same.
Hi guys
I recently bought a generic unbranded HTC ONE SV from a German website, as I was looking for an LTE-enabled phone that didn't have a screen big as a flatscreen TV.
I have had the phone now for a couple of weeks and I am overall happy with it. The only problem is that it does not seem to get any LTE action. My operator (Tele2 Sweden) assures me my sim card is enabled for 4G and I live in the center of a city with excellent 4G coverage. Yet, my phone shows an H at best (haven't actually ever seen even an H+).
Digging around this and other forums, I found a few indications that my ONE SV version K2_U (model id PL8013000) might actually not have support for LTE after all.
It seems also all ROM updates currently available are for the K2_UL model, including the one for JB (I have tried to flash these to my device after unlocking/rooting/s-offing it, but never actually managed to succeed with it, while I can flash and reflash the stock ROM for the k2_u version)
TBH I am quite confused: all HTC websites and reviews refer to the ONE SV as an LTE enabled phone, and I cannot find any official reference to the fact that there might be a version of this phone without LTE... So I wonder if maybe I am doing something wrong, or if maybe there is a software lock that has disabled LTE on my phone and that I can fix.
Or have I simply been screwed?
With the Easter holidays I'll have to wait until Tuesday to be able to call HTC... so if in the meantime anybody has any idea I would really appreciate it
There seems to be a lot of K2_U, non-LTE, in the US. You can have a look on the One SV root thread you'll find some.
In fact, in germany the LTE version is ONLY sold by operators (O2, Vodafone, Telekom).
All others come without LTE.

You'd think HTC would mention that on their website though... I am not upset about them selling a non-LTE version of the phone, I am outraged by the fact that they don't bother informing consumers that a phone advertised as LTE also happens to have a non-LTE version... I have also contacted them trough the htc.com website, but they did not bother to answer either.
If I had more time to waste on this I'd probably complain with the German consumer protection authorities, but TBH I have learned my lesson and this is the last HTC I buy
Thanks for your replies guys!
What does LTE means? I currently have old.splatterhands non-LTE stock rom installed for my HTC One SV. But for unknown reason, WiFi and radio connection are very weak.
LTE is fast, mobile internet.

You have the stock back/battery cover on the phone?
When you have a phone with LTE, it should be written on the backcover (4G LTE, or something like that).
If there is only written beatsaudio, you have non-LTE.
Thanks - non-LTE however
