I'm planning on getting the bell 4g sensation and then unlocking it. I'm on rogers so i know the 2g will work, but will 3g work on Rogers if the radio is for bell 4g?
anyone have an answer for this?
it will work, but will still show 4G, and not 3G or H.
i have a tmobile sensation 4G, and it works at 100% capacity of winds 3G network.
the only thing i was concerned (but not really) about the Bell S4G is if it actually uses a sim card :/

if it is CDMA then its useless to rogers anyways. I had wondered about the sim part but am assuming that it should be since Telstra is getting the same model in about a week on the 12th, right?
It will use a sim card, it is not a cdma version nor do I think HTC has even made one.
heres hoping, bell really needs a nice phone that isnt what everyone else is providing (iphone/bb)
...mind you i think bell should burn in the depths of hell, but they no longer steal my money, so its a moot point

got it off craigslist, it was the "Sensation 4G starters kit" from a TMO store in NYC, $700 on US launch date
i also came from an HD2, and this was the ONLY HTC fone i would have considerd for the upgrade.
i miss my HD2
try not to sell yours, keep if for messing with roms, and for games and media
i plan on getting another one soon anyway, i love that fone
Yea im thinking of keeping it but getting a sensation off craigslist..thanks for the info

Hi guys,
Don't blast me guys if you think this is a useless thread.
I was looking to buy the sensation for my wife but we have never had a contract with t-mobile and as such do not have any experience with them personally. In philly friends who had t-mobile weren't always happy about their signal when traveling out of town or just the fact that most people we knew were on At&t. Does T-mobile have truly unlimited data?
Anyway for a change I was looking to you guys for a review of t-mobile rather than the phone itself.
Also just to be sure if I buy it out of contract I could use AT&T sim card right?
Thanks for any replies. Much appreciated. Enjoy your phone.

I'm in NYC and Tmo's coverage here is great. I dont travel much and when I do it's usually big cities so I've never had a problem with signal. I know when I go to some more rual areas I have some issues but that's not too often.
TMO does have unlimited data BUT you get throttled to dial up speeds if you go above 2gb/5gb/10gb(depending on the plan you have)
You will be able to use your ATT sim card if you buy an unlocked sensation or have yours unlocked. But ATT uses different 3G bands as TMO so I think you would be stuck on 2G speeds
Thanks for the reply. You see I am on sprint (EVO 4G) and I love Sprint's unlimited everything plan.I don't think they do the throttling thing.
So buying it unlocked and using AT&T is a no go if it's going to be stuck on 2G speeds.

No Problem Yeah I think Verizon and Sprint are the only ones with TRUE unlimited data.
You might want to hold off then. I do think I read somewhere that a Sensation with ATT bands went through the FCC, So they might be releasing the sensation soon on ATT

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...data-plans-on-july-7th-and-theyre-not-pretty/
Its very annoying that phone models are locked into specific carriers (hope this changes in the future) but im currently on AT&T, which in my area has the best overall signal coverage. Can this phone be put on the ATT network?
Is this phone a good one? My roommate just got the Incredible 2, and im liking the Thunderbolt, but thinking i need to jump on the Dual core market. I currently have a Touch pro 2, which is ok, but SLOW.
Also, what features does this phone have? HTC's own site seems selective on what they post on their specs (they tend to leave out common features on some phones)
Things I like on the thunderbolt spec sheet are..
Dual mics with noise cancellation, Compass sensor, G-Sensor, Proximity sensor (not sure what this is used for), Light sensor, 3.5mm audio jack, MicroUSB, FM radio. (i also like the kick stand)
The G-Sensor i think is pretty standard these days, tho not sure what they mean by the Compass sensor, id be great if it actually had a compass in it.
But this phone doesn't list ANY special features on HTC site.
Thanks in advance.

Bell is a Canadian phone company (pretty sure) and has the same bands as ATT so their phones are compatible. If you're gonna jump onto the dual-core wagon, check out the SGS2 phones (i'm pretty sure ATT has one coming to them soon if not already...) Then you wont need to unlock or worry about compatibility
The sensation 4g will work on att, but you won't get 3g data.
Of the specs you listed regarding the Thunderbolt, the sensation 4g has all those features, minus a kickstand.
Also, the proximity sensor is used to detect close or far objects. An example of it in use is when you put your ear up to the phone during a call, and the screen automatically turns off, then turns back on when you move away from it.

Don't try to get the tmobile version. You won't get anything above 2g.

The Bell (Canadian) model (Z710A) will work on AT&T 3G. The T-Mobile or European versions will work on AT&T, but they will only connect with EDGE data speeds, not 3G.
I'm not overly concerned about data really, unless i'm forced to pay for it. The Touch Pro 2 i have now i bought unlocked so i didn't have to pay for data.

I thought the light sensor did that? My TP2 does that, but doesn't mention a prox. sensor.
The Bell model gets 3G bands but is locked at the moment. It should be unlocked next week:

the t-Mo and Euro versions work but only allow 2G
You shouldn't have a required data plan if you pay cash for the phone.

Eww.. I paied that much for my TP2, i cant really afford that again... i might be stuck with a contract Which id bet i couldnt get this.. this sucks lol.
Hows the speaker on this phone? My TP2 has dual speaker and has pretty good quality (also has a handy mic mute on the back). It also uses the sensor and switch's it to speaker when i flip the phone over (lying on the screen) Can this phone, or others do that or is that a TP2 specific thing?
Well, nobody around here offers this phone.. Which sucks. Ive been watching reviews on both This and the SGS2. While the SGS2 looks like a nice phone, and seems to be pretty comparable, i like how the Sensation looks alitlte more. The button placement, and the more 'roundness of it is more to my taste than then square 'iphone-iks' looking SGS2. Hell id proly be willing to start using a data plan if i could get this phone on att. (tmobile isnt in my area, if they are their coverage isnt good.)

$550CAD straight from Bell Canada, which won't really help you much if you don't live in Canada or near the border. Once they're carrier unlocked and have custom ROMS I'll drive up and pick up a Bell model to use on AT&T, can't wait
ok.. i was wrong.. T-mobile is apparently in my area. I have no personal experiences with them however and none of my friends use them, so not sure how well they work in my area. Its food for thought tho.
Where are you located?
Chances are you aren't in a 3G coverage area which is good news because you can skip out on paying through the nose for a data plan... just opt for the 200MB no overage "unlimited" throttle point data plan and you're good to go. Voice coverage is probably still a concern but if it's just bad at your house T-Mobile has WiFi calling which uses your WiFi network to place and receive calls and texts

im around IU campus in Indiana. Their map shows 'average' coverage around town, but i know how exaggerated/inaccurate those maps can be.
As far as the data, from what ive seen, it includes up to 4g

If there are wal-marts in your part of the country, I hear they have it for $148.88
lol, yea, otherside of town has one, but blah buying one from wal-mart. Somehow i dont trust them to set things up correctly. Transferring my number and whatnot. It will take a month or two for me to have the money in any event.
i kinda hate that every place has different deals. T-mobile itslef has a higher upfront cost, ($250) but a lower monthly charge (59.99) but Newegg has a lower upfront ($150) but a higher monthly (69.99). The monthly cost seems to differ in the data.. Tmoble charing 10, newegg 20.
Bah!
@ Lyian Keep an eye out on the tmobile website. Just last Wed/Thurs (for lilke 24 hours) they were selling the Sensation for free with new contracts/new lines of service.
Keep an eye out tmo does that all the time.
If anyone wants to know I have a Sensation from T-mobile in Puerto Rico and I noticed that it says in the box that it works on 1700, 1900 and 2100 frequencies for data which means it can work on AT&T.
I'll try to unblock it later and see if it really works.

The speaker isn't that good for most apps. But for certain apps (like Google Music) it's really loud. I don't know why. Most people have overcome this problem by using the Equalizer app or Volume+ though. And yes, it can do that.
Hey,
I'm contemplating getting a Sensation in Canada, but I may wait for Rogers to get their new LTE network going before getting a new phone. Would you guys say that the 4G is worth waiting for? Or should I just get the Sensation now?

Wait...and use the money that's obviously burning a hole in your pocket for more prudent things...such as contributing to your 401k...
Nah, but 4g is ok...I see it as a luxury, if you can afford it and you REALLY want it then sure. But whether or not it's worth is is as simple as thinking about how much you really value a few extra seconds between page loads. With bandwith caps, 4g isn't really all that attractive anymore honestly...

Something else to think about, just because they launch LTE won't guarantee that they will have the backhaul to make it fast. Most, if not all, of Sprints WiMAX, Verizon's LTE is slower than 3G simply because they don't have the backhaul or capacity yet.
It took T-Mobile 2 more years after launching UMTS to get HSPA+ going. Food for thought.
hmm.....well put...thanks guys. will have a new Sensation tomorrow
With these prices... its not worth it.

What are you talking about? Did ANYONE in this thread say ANYTHING about T-Mobile and 4G?
Read the post before making idiot responses.
sensation is a solid phone, reminds me of my nexus one that I wish I never traded. Would probably still be using that, instead of the phone path I went through. Pricing of 4g isnt worth it, you can just get internet services at a home. My local carrier is rolling out "4g" and I'm priced for life at $14.99 unlimited text & data. I don't plan on leaving the carrier anytime soon, and my download speeds on average are 3-4mbps, high has been up to 8mbps.
Unless your in a big popular city where they will try to put out the LTE signal and support it I wouldnt worry about it. Everyone I know here (Dallas) on Sprint's 4g and Verizons has sporadic problems with signal and speeds. Its fast when its there but they dont get it much.
T-Mo US's may not be real 4G but they have good coverage (for me) with it and I love the phone so I personally wouldnt wait unless you get some good info on the quality of 4G in your area.

I see just the *slightest* overreaction here.
However, to answer the OP's question: Yes, 4G it's worth it to me. Accessing information no longer takes a brutally long time. I have fewer reasons to take a laptop most of to time. I can have long conversations with my girl or family while browsing these forums or the web in general.
I see download speeds anywhere from 3mbps to 11mbps depending on where I am at the time. This is more that fast enough for me to forget that I am not on Wifi. This is what I have always wanted using a smartphone to be like.

HSPA+ is not 4g and neither is the current iteration of verizons LTE.
LTE is still faster than HSPA+ but it drains your battery. I have been getting amazing HSPA+speeds but its in very limited locations (downtown seattle only). 4G is worth it, be it real or fake its much faster than 3g but i kind of like HSPA+ cuz at least its not such a battery hog like LTE.

If your not talking about LTE, then why are you posting in this thread? Yes, T-mobile's network is HSPA+. No one is arguing that. What we do want to know, though, is why you mentioned it? The OP, who lives in Canada, was asking if it was worth getting the Sensation now (which won't be on a 4G network as it's not launched) or waiting for when they launch LTE (in Canada) and buy it on a 4G LTE network.
What does that have to do with T-Mobile NOT being a TRUE 4G network?

Nope, he was talking about LTE 4G in Canada, NOT T-mobile 4G. Still do NOT understand the point of your comment.
EDIT: On a side note of true 4G. NO carrier in the WORLD can claim 4G as 4G is only classed as WiMAX II or LTE Advanced with speeds of 100Mbps. With that said, T-Mobile is not either of those technologies, but they are half way to the speeds which is about 4 times faster than anyone else in the world.

Not relevant to the OP but the ITU actually stated the term 4g may be applied to "LTE and WiMax, and to other evolved 3G technologies providing a substantial level of improvement in performance and capabilities with respect to the initial third generation systems now deployed."
i DONT reccommend getting rogers 4G, purely for the excessive cost, shakey availability, and the fact that when they do actually launch, its going to be rife with problems...using 3g on my sensation is mroe than fast enough, and really, if you want fast data, just use home internet and access it with logmein from your fone...
i used to be with rogers, but the cost/bandwidth of data just didnt cut it for me...
Want to trade/sell my inspire to get a different phone... something with around the same specs and screen size. Is a iPhone 3GS better? I need a new phone cause I can't handle the edge connection. I unlokced my ispire for tmobile and that's all I get is edge, I want 3g...

Seriously though, if you are on T-Mobile, you should be looking for a phone that works on their bands. As far as a trade, I don't know what you could expect to get for an Inspire right now.
I know on cdma theres an app to force 3G on roam and it works pretty good. And there are tweaks for unlocked phones on other networks to force 3G. Is this not possible for GSM?
Sent from my I9300 using XDA
Roaming has NOTHING to do with it. T-mobile has it's own distinct 3G data bands that are different from the rest of the world. If you want 3G on T-mobile, get a T-mobile branded phone. Go to the T-mobile link I gave you and look at the phones and their reviews. And this topic has nothing to do with the Inspire let alone the development of it.
How much are you asking for your inspire?

We arent your financial advisers haha. best thing wouldl be go to tmobile and find a phone that works on their network. google gsm arena, that will get u a site that lists phone specs and you can compare them. research = key.
I have to agree. If you want 3g then get a tmobile phone. Its hat simple.

Idk if this has been confirmed, I searched a little and didn't see anything, I have an unlocked AT&T HTC One X on T-Mobile prepaid unlimited $70 plan and just started getting LTE today at home with it, speeds went up from a best of 14mbps on H+ to 22mbps the first time I ran it on LTE. This is going to be nice being that for some reason they never block my tethering so I use it as my home internet lol.
I can't believe the upload speeds, I used to never get more than 3mbps now its hitting 16mbps lol. Hooray for unlimited uncapped 4G LTE for $70 a month, and I've ran it up to 35 gigs one month so it really is uncapped.

Lucky duck! Does anyone know if there's a website somewhere that's keeping track of this kind of data? You can't get it from T-Mobile themselves unfortunately. I'd consider leaving Straight Talk for T-Mobile if I knew I would have working data coverage in most of the places I go with LTE in my home town. I hate having to wait for wifi to do anything big. The One X in unsupported areas is so slow you couldn't google to save your life. At least with AT&T I get reasonable speeds everywhere I go except tiny little towns.

Following up on your experience with TMO and One X
I was really glad to see your post about the One X getting LTE service on T-Mobile. I just switched to T-Mobile from AT&T with quite a few phones in my family (cut my bill almost in half!) To make a long story short I popped the T-Mobile SIM in my iPhone 5 and connected straight to the LTE network. Needless to say I was surprised because T-Mobile does not make any mention of having LTE in the Sacramento, CA area, but two reps did confirm that my LTE service was here to stay. Unfortunately my iPhone 5 and a Galaxy SIII and Note II (all originally purchased for AT&T and then unlocked for T-Mobile) seem to revert to the EDGE network and then get permanently stuck there after about ten minutes of LTE. Have you noticed that happening with your One X? I've always been a big fan of the One X and I would love to have one, but I'm not sure if it supports the HSPA+ 42 network and or how well it keeps a lock on the LTE networks for T-Mobile. I'd love to hear how you like it after having a few weeks to try it out.
Thanks and sorry it's a bit off-topic, just wanna see how the One X holds up on T-Mobile's network!

I cant understand why anyone would want to own a samsung galaxy smartphone, easier to brick, no access to hboot, nice screen, hardily any widgets, lags when switching apps, I dunno, I just realized I made a mistake trading my amaze for an s2, and I almost got a one s, but my dad has one, and I figured he would always be cool with trading me whatever I bought, so I took a $250 risk with an Att one x unlocked. I had no idea that it even had lte! Not to mention that I didnt think tmobile had lte cranked up in my city (Jax,Fl). Im very much stoked with a really nice phone that downloaded venomxl rom in less than five minutes.
I live north of Atlanta and switched to T-Mobile several months ago. They rolled our LTE this summer and so far the speeds have been great. I regularly get 25-35 mbps down and 15-20 mbps up. I only get HSPA while in my apartment, but am still able to achieve speeds in the high singles to mid-teens. Coverage here is decent although I have noticed several dead spots, most noticeably along GA400 north of town which is a major highway. Kind of unforgivable but I am hoping the spectrum purchased in the MetroPCS acquisition will better coverage since they had a big presence here as well. All in all, I am happy with the service and glad I switched from AT&T.
I get good speeds when I'm outside.
I'm on an good signal area yet I have basically unusable data inside.
I actually just wrote T-Mo a letter requesting an ETF Waiver because of the bad service.
I almost got fired because of missing a text...
