Can anyone confirm that this works on att network? Even on tmobiles website it says it supports the 850 band but i saw a report on engadget that they were having trouble connecting. Can anyone tell me if this phone has a locked bootloader? As of now i have an atrix but i would prefer vanilla android.

It currently only supports ATT 2G. The hardware is capable of 3G but the bands are blocked out. There is some hope they can be enabled via a software fix, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

This is typical for carrier phones. Of course they don't want to sell a phone that works great with other carriers. The Phone supports the bands but the radio/software is blocking use (per Tmobile). It was already quoted that Tmobile will unlock the AT&T 3G once the merger goes through.
The bootloader is unlocked. We already have root and Clockwork Recovery setup on stock Android. LG has even already released the source for the kernel. CM7 is also already on the phone but not quite prime time.
Once custom roms are published, we'll be good to go. Coming from a Nexus One, I'm glad this phone is just as open.
I'm sure someone will unofficially enable the at&t 3G, just give it a little time.

Well no big deal anymore [email protected] I just cancelled my att plan and joined tmobile to get this phone

The service manual clearly states that the phone only supports WCDMA FDD1(2100) and FDD4 (1700). Theres no mention of WCDMA FDD5(850) anywhere, not even in the block diagrams of the RF circuits.

Could someone make a baseband update to support all 3g bands. I realised the optimus 2x until now has had this. Can someone update the radio to support 850/900/1700/1900/2100 bands so international users can fully enjoy without the data messing up. Uk runs on 2100 but still sometimes my connection times out in data every 5 Minuets.
Not possible.
I wonder this should be a basic question for a ROM developer.
Messing with the baseband is too dangerous and can brick a phone instantly if something's wrong with the programming.
Sorry man, no one's gonna do it.

I have not seen anyone modify a baseband , no source, and i just figured it was locked and couldnt be decompiled since i never saw anyone even attempt it.

It would expand the capabilities of our phone and allow us to truly run any network. It would also make our phone more valuable to be honest.

Does the g2x have the hardware for that? Network capability is based on hardware. Hence why tmobile phones will never get 3g on
At&t, they just don't have the ability to. No amount of software twiddling can change that.
Sent from my T-mobile G2
The phone supposedly supports all bands, just as the O2x according to T-Mobile and the FCC. Shortly after its release we learned T-Mobile locked it down until the AT&T merger goes through.
A carrier in Canada is releasing a version of the G2x. Perhaps it will not have the baselands locked like T-Mobile has it.

Straight to the point!
For the past few days I had read almost hundreds and hundreds of post and threads regarding to the question. Apparently, the North American HOX from Rogers and ATT does work on Mobilicity and Wind (according to HTC). However, it's not working because Rogers and ATT locked the AWS radio only to themselves.
So, here's the question. Has anyone started to play with the radio setting just like the developers did to the ATT Galaxy Note? (trying to make my minds up recently because I want to get a new phone)

You cannot use the 1700mhz band without flashing a new radio which is not possible without S-Off and a phone with a similar SoC that has a radio that utilizes the 1700mhz band.

Well, I believe I had seen few people that "accidentally" had their devices S-OFF. So, that means the developer are working their heads to get the S-OFF for this device right now? (I assume)

Yes they are. And if this is anything like the galaxy note situation, a One S radio should work just fine.

You have to get a device that uses the same bands. Devices in the US use different bands depending on the carrier. You won't be able to do anything about it on the inspire

Do you realize there is a huge difference between CDMA and GSM right. In the us they all use different 3g bands.
You should always research your device before you by it. Mainly if buying a device from another county

The best thing to do is find out what bands your carrier uses. Then compare it to the ones for a phone you like. If att doesn't work then T-Mobile maybe a better option as they use the Euro bands where ATT doesnt

Your best bet is to use probably a t-mobile phone from US or phones from SE asia and europe for indian subcontinent countries. AT&T based 3G phones will probably wont work there...but again like zelendel said, check it out with your service provider first...

welcome man. If there is anything you need feel free to hit me up. I am no dev but if you click on the gotham link you will see I am still up to my old tricks lmao
First of all, sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum or if it has been asked somewhere already, but I was not able to find it anywhere though Google and searching through this site.
Anyways, I was wondering if it is possible to fully and effectively unlock a AT&T S3 to use on the VZW network. I know vzw has a secured cdma network that only allows approved devices but with all the great devs out there, is there some wah to do it? Thanks for any input !

I don't think you can do that as Verizon uses different lte bands and two its cdma network even tho it uses a sim! I could be wrong but I know it can only work the other way round but thats only on 3G tho
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I have the same problem except the other way around...I want to convert a Verizon one to att. I already flashed a AT&T rom and have working voice and data, but only 2g which is so slow, I don't even remember how I lived with it. I'm thinking of just buying a motherboard from the att one and sticking it in my Verizon one. Does anyone know if the motherboard has the part I need for the radios, or is the radio separate?
Sounds easier to try to do a trade on Craigslist or something.

I've also running on EDGE connection, which is horrid, but livable. Due to thaat I'm running a T-Mobile network on a Verizon S3.
I know this is not officially supported, but does anyone know if this will work with a Verizon SIM? I know in the past, CDMA radios were required for Calls and Texts, but with VoLTE, shouldn't CDMA be unnecessary at this point? Can someone try throwing a Verizon SIM in it and see if it will work. I'm trying to find a Note 7 replacement here. The rest of the Verizon phones SUCK.
I'm really wondering about this too. I'd jump from my S7 Edge to this if it could really work. lol
Oh yeah, if any of you Xperia XZ owners could be so helpful in using this tool from the Verizon website: https://www.verizonwireless.com/bring-your-own-device/. I think this would help see if we could use the XZ on Verizon network. If any of you guys do it, can you post screenshots (blacking out any private info if you may), I'd really appreciate it!
Verizon uses CDMA which Xperia phones so not support. They only do GSM. I suspect a Verizon sim card would not find coverage in an XZ.

But there is LTE support. If you have an XZ in your possession, can you try using the tool in the link I provided to see if it works?
To be able to use VoLTE, you will need to enable HD Voice or Advanced HD feature for your line and also the person you call has to have to same feature enabled. Both callers need to be in LTE coverage areas for VoLTE works.
So it isn't always working for you if you don't have CDMA capable phones.
Sent from my SGP771 using Tapatalk
All voice calls still go through the CDMA network UNLESS, you are on Verizon and have HD voice enabled on your phone. I
know, Verizon is still using 800 CDMA in almost every cell site. This this is so VZ customers can call other carriers..
This became very apparent a few months ago when Verizon had a CDMA network outage on the west coast and we could only call people with in Verizon that had HD Voice, no one else.
If the XZ does not support CDMA (can someone confirm?) that would mean NO "Cell Network " phone calls. Data should work fine if the XZ supports LTE 700 c, 1700 f, 1900
Kinda getting tired of this, I really wanted an S7 Active and now the XZ.
One of these days I am going to jump ship. I. just have a bit of "data coverage anxiety" is the only thing holding me back...
The reason Verizon keeps their CDMA network because they still have 3g devices which are CDMA only.

Yes but, not necessarily the reason why VZ is keeping CDMA.
3G (1900Mhz CDMA) will begin to get faced out sometime next year. This is not a secret, it's actually common knowledge. In fact, some areas already don't have 3G coverage.
(800Mhz CDMA) Voice will stay at least for 2017. This is because VZ's VoLTE aka VoIP is not quite ready to go.
Some guy already tried using a VZ SIM on a Xperia XZ, didn't work.
Search YouTube for: "Sony Xperia XZ Verizon CDMA Test"
CDMA faced out all over the world last year except VZW. Some areas do not have 3g coverage doesn't mean there is no CDMA network there. There is a lot of VZW basic (CDMA) devices in the market now.

At least he need to add APN settings for Verizon network first. It's not gonna work what so ever since unlocked phones do NOT have it.

Of course you don't however, didn't that phone connect to the network briefly at start up, did it? Also it's only video so it can't prove xz doesn't work with VZW. It's my opinion even though I'm not with VZW.

Just to be clear; that's not my video. I'm no expert either but I really don't think APN settings would cause the tower to drop connection. AFAIK APN settings are just for data and MMS services.
I understand it's not your video and you knew APN is for data and mms. However, you forgot that in mean time, most VZW devices use CDMA for voice until they introduced HD voice (VoLTE) to have both voice and data work at the same time.
So without correct APN settings, nothing is gonna work including voice for non-cdma devices.
