Looking for a Australian version of Sensation

Okay I am in the USA. I am not on T-Mobile but on Att. I am currently using N1. I can leave Att for as specific reason. I know Samsung galaxy s 2 is available but I refused to buy Samsung. I love HTC. After purchasing my N1 I am HTC for life.
I know that carriers in Australia and Att in the US have the same 3G band. I was wondering if there are any news about quad band 3g sensation out there. I would absolutely pick up it I its released. Thx advance.

Inspire 4G LTE?

I don't know much since I just got this phone today but is this phone going to be LTE capable? Cause the rep at the AT&T store told me it was. Is he BSing me?

I believe lte needs a special chip installed and our phones does NOT have it. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

No...no ATT phone currently is LTE compatible.

Thanks for the info just wanted to know if they were lying lol

The inspire is not lte capable and att does not have it out yet. Att has the h+ which uses the hspa service but is it's next gen. True lte uses the 700 mHz band which att doesn't have out yet and the inspire does not have a capable radio to utilize it.

Figured. What a lying sack of.....lol

I can tell you first hand that AT&T is slowly but surly getting ready to launch LTE. I am an electrician for a local contractor and we will be responcible for installing the LTE controllers and cabinets at many cell sites throughout PA, DE and NJ. Once we have them in place the cell techs will run the fiber then test and launch (who knows how long that will take)
After seeing the trouble that many ppl are having with Verizon ill stick with what I have for now.

For the last time:
Inspire can run on the LTE stack but can't take advantage of the LTE throughput.
So AT&T reps can say the phone is LTE "compatible" or "capable." Gullible consumer will assume Inspire can run LTE speed, while educated XDA readers know better.
You have to ask a more direct question of "will the Inspire be able to take advantage of the LTE speed?" Then the truth will come out.
If you pester enough, they'll sometimes do a 180 and claim HSPA+ will be just as fast as LTE. lol.
FYI, LTE (3.9G) runs voice & data on the same stack, versus 3G and HSPA+ (3.5G) which runs voice and data on separate stacks. LTE will always be faster no matter how much "backhaul" improvements AT&T makes.
Patiently waiting for LTE Advanced with 1Gb throughput....

What is funny is their website. For the inspire specs it says LTE. But only on their website.

The website doesn't say LTE...... it lists 4G: HSPA+/ LTE on the left and under the phones specs it says HSPA+. The left is just listing the 4G technologies that will be available, the right column where the actual phone specs are tell you it uses HSPA+. This is why people have gotten confused. To me it clearly says HSPA+, but I can see how it can get confused.

This thread looks really familiar.

[Think Tank] Internation Has No Tmo 4G support, BUT?

So the International Version has no 4G support that has been established; however, their could be a possible way to still get 4G. I have seen with the SG2 International and The SG2 Tmo if you flash the modem of the tmo one onto the international they got 4G on Tmo. I have also read that i think it was the nexus or galaxy note or something had a locked band that they unlocked.... I heard that a radio probably wont change anything but does anyone else have any ideas?

Don't like waiting and I travel a lot.

Personally I think you should just wait you gaffe the s2 so it's not like you dying from a crappy phone and that way you would know it works properly I'm not sure about the one s but I know on my HTC sensation there is a extra antenna for the 4 g and we can't even buy a extra battery cover unless it had that antenna or we loose 4g

As far as I understand, it's not. Check www.htc.com/www and look at the One S specifications.
Doesn't support 1700 AWS bands nor does it have the 1900 mHz (AT&T 3G, soon to be T-Mobile HSPA+ as well).
A software hack won't fix bands that don't exist in the hardware.

The 850 mHz band is also AT&T 3G, but it is not as widespread around the country as the 1900 mHz band. So, you're getting AT&T 3G on 850 mHz because that is available on the One S.

So say its all over and theirs no changing it. Those of us who had no idea that it wouldn't work is their any way would could minupulate HTC or Tmo into giving us a version that will suport it. You could play the "It says hspa+ on your website"

Again, because they contain the 1700 AWS band to get T-Mobile 3G/HSPA+.
A software fix cannot fix what the hardware lacks in the International One S. I'm not sure you could coerce HTC into an exchange because they'll probably tell you that the detailed specifics are available on their website and you should always check with your carrier before buying an international device.
Your best bet would be to return it directly and buy the T-Mobile US model if you'd like T-Mobile service. Hopefully they'll get the black version, if not, sorry mate. Sometimes you have to choose carrier over design, or simply a different phone model.

I dont get why htc included the band in one phone and not the other.

So people wouldn't buy one to use it for a carrier it wasn't meant to be on? If the band is only in the T-Mobile version and people are on T-Mobile, their only choice is to buy it from T-Mobile if they want 3G.
T-Mobile probably doesn't want people buying their flagship off contract.

[Q] Is it a Pentaband?

Hey I have looked around and have heard differing reports saying that some are and some aren't. What I want to know is is the Telus version of the phone Pentaband? My aunt got the phone and I might be getting it when she is finished and it would be helpful to know

It's not pentaband, but the chip DOES support both 850 Mhz and 1700 Mhz (strange, I know). I believe it's actually quadband WCDMA which means it'll work on Wind/Mobilicity (I have the Telus version too and use it on Wind currently and Rogers prior). It won't work in Europe though, if you travel a lot because I believe they use 900 Mhz out there, which is the band this phone doesn't support.
I've attached proof that it does work on Wind with data, but I don't know how to prove I'm using the Telus model... Just trust me I guess?

AFAIK: Only TMOUS' One S is pentaband.

Check the first table here for frequencies supported on different versions: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5868/htc-one-s-review-international-and-tmobile/7

Thanks for getting back to me =D I had looked around and found differing reports some sites would only have the international one and some would only have the T-mobile one.
Well i guess her's is not Pentaband but I don't mine losing Eurpoean roaming it has the ones i need (AWS) :laugh:

Yeah contrary to belief, the Canadian One S is NOT the "international" version, but rather the T-Mobile version.

Does anybody mind looking under the cover for the model / FCC ID / Industry Canada certification numbers and reporting back with the carrier they got the phone from and the FCC ID. They should be printed on the label near the headphones / headset jack.
These are the variants available in Canada.

PJ40110 should be written inside the SIM cover thing. It was on mine. I did a lot of digging around to find out whether or not my phone supported AWS. I really hated being with Rogers so I switched to Wind, but I wanted to make sure my dream phone would work before I switched.

I live in Ohio. Here we have T-Mobile and local Cincinnati Bell. Cincinnati Bell gets all their phones from T-Mobile. So if you can get your hands on a Cincinnati Bell One S, that is also pentaband. I have one.

This is misleading information as it is more correctly quadband WCDMA. Pentaband WCDMA would include 900 Mhz as well, which the T-Mobile One S does not have.

Yeah, the Telus One S is pentaband, the T-Mobile One S us quadband(it's missing 900mhz).

I don't believe this is the case either. My research has yielded that the only FCC clearance this phone has is 850/1700/1900/2100 MHz.

Which version are you referring to? That would be correct for the T-Mobile version.

I don't know who manbearpig is, but he is wrong. The Telus One S (and all Canadian One S') only support 850/1700/1900/2100. That's 4, not 5 bands. You can look inside your One S SIM cover right now, it says PJ40110 underneath the FCC label.
The Telus One S will NOT work on European WCDMA networks. It is pentaband GSM but not for the WCDMA radio.
If you can show me how the Canadian One S is pentaband, then I will yield. I'm not trying to be a ****, but I've done my research and these are the results and I'm trying to make it clear for anyone who reads this. I hate it when I find misleading info on the internet.

You could be right. Here's the thread where manbearpig was selling his Telus One S and people asked him questions about whether it is truly pentaband.

I'm not sure that is exactly the phone he has/had as I was going to buy it from him until he told me it is the silver/blue version. The canadagsm site only lists black as available as far as I can tell. MBP did not say that's where he got it, somebody else posted that link inferring it is the same one. Personally, I am betting it is only a physically unbranded T-mobile US version running an unbranded ROM

I'll PM the new owner later and ask him to check the box.

Whatever it is...it works on WIND
Hi Peops,
Greetings from Can-eh-da!
Thanks to a few postings I saw up in here, and a sweet pre-Christmas deal going on at Wind Mobile, I decided to take a $25 non-refundable SIM card bet on the information posted on these forums, specifically that unlocked HTC One-S phones with the PJ40110 model number *may* work on WIND because it supports AWS.
Using thread #13 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673378&page=2, I found out I might have a ONe-S that works on Wind...I was right!
Hope this helps someone the way I was helped!

A quick question about Canadian cellular frequencies

Hello everybody!
I just wanted to know what were the primary 3G/UMTS bands for the majority of the carriers in Canada. I've done some quick searching and I understand it's the 850/1900 bands. However, I would also like to know their LTE frequency bands as well. I'm going to buy a phone for my niece and I was thinking either a Nexus 4 or 5 to avoid any potential band issues. However, I think she may find AOSP a bit too bland so I'm thinking either a HTC One or SGS 4. Any feedback/answers is greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your time!
