My guess is your going to have to find out if there service is GSM, or CDMA? Also, from what I've seen on there site. They only have one phone choice. That could complicate things. They may have more choices in the store.

I'm still using my Dream/G1 now and want to get a new phone. I like HTC Android phone. So which one will actually work on T-Mobile's 3G/4G network? I look through GSMArena and find something I like. I just don't know which one will work and which one won't. Thanx alot
Here's a list on phone I'm interested. Experts please come in and give me some advise.
Incredible S
Inspire 4G
Desire S
Desire HD
Desire Z
Also, aside from HTC, which Android phone you guy suggest on T-Mobile network?
G2 is 4g on tmobile and has wifi calling or maybe mytouch 4g also

I know the fact that the Inspire 4G doesn't work with T-Mobile. Will the Desire HD work with T-Mobile? I really like a 4" phone.
The MT4G has a 3.8'' screen and works with HSPA+.

I have read other threads about other roms and some ppl say that specific roms can deactivate 4g.How exactly do u know if it does.I know it seems like a dumb question but I am very new to 4g and have never used it before and I talked to my friend and he said that "there are dead spots" but it seems that every where is a deadspot so I'm not really sure
Ps..I'm using the RCMix 3D ROM

am yeah i believe so it does deactivate your 4g
Why does this happen.does tmobile or something know I rooted or what?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
No, Flashing a WWE ROM will not deactivate your "4G." You may notice an H icon instead of t-mobiles 4G icon. Its the same thing and your speeds should be the same as well.
lol. theres is no way to deactivate your 4g it is in your sim card meaning the service you sign up for, the only way to deactivate your 4g is to get rid of the phone or call you provider and ask fo a regular edge or 3g plan also just go into settings and turn your network to all edge but you have a 4g phone i dont even think its possibile to get a plan from tmobile without it being a 4g plan
uncheck mobile network from the pull down tab quick settings
Okay well thanks for your help guys I really appreciate it

Hi all
Just a quick question about the radio and flashing.
I understand that when a device is flashed to a custom ROM, that a radio is cooked in. (am I correct?)
Now my situation is this. I live in Australia, and am thinking of purchasing a 2nd hand Inspire 4G (AT&T) from the US, but from my research, due to the Inspire's (from AT&T) frequencies being 850/1900, this causes a small problem in Australia, where only telstra's NextG network operates on this band.
So in effect, I would be limited to NextG if I had this phone in Australia. the other major carrier here (optus) uses 900/2100.
Not a biggie right now as I use telstra nextg, but I may want to change.
So, question would be, when a phone is flashed, can I change the radio via the ROM, or is the frequencies a phone uses controlled by hardware?
thanks.
It's hardware mate.

thanks mate.
now to decide if its worth it.....can get one pretty cheap compared to here in Australia.
Check out tmobile I don't recall the bands they use but they sell the desire HD which is the Inspire 4G for them.
Edit: http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-desire-hd/#specs
Looks like it is 900/2100
So now the question is, what provider will you stick to in Australia

Yeah its a tough decision ...I'm going to be moving soon to study, and where I'm going both carriers are good, but telstra is prob the dearest. Where I currently live needs telstra and I get a sim card through work (I use my own phone though)
So I basically need a 850 phone for 3 months then I can use whatever .......
I just bought one and I am on Telstra. I also have a desire hd. Inspire in my opinion is the best choice.
Inspire can still run on Optus. My missus uses it occasionally with no issues.

For future reference please ask questions in the Q and A section. Let's leave the Dev section for the devs and their roms.

So as of tonight I bought a HTC Merge on ebay. Is it gonna be able to work on T-Mobile at all. I ddon't care about it being edge. I just want it to work because its a bad ass phone. I really love this phone and can't wait for it. But I wanna use it. I Googled it. And it has the frequencies match for edge. Please let me know.

I found root and s off for it. Which is a plus. And a few roms aand unlock codes.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium
Yeah. it should. It's only going to be EDGE though. So, don't be shocked, and it's also got a single core 800mhz processor.
that's not bad. Its comparable to the G2. And yeah edge. Was expecting that. my only phones right now are currently edge. I'm use to it now. I have wifi at home and work. Do you know of anyone who's using a us cellular merge with T-Mobile
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium
And is it possible to do software wise. Or would I have to get the code via blowfish Unlocks?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium
Well. I got my Merge unlocked and rooted. And it just says no service. So does anyone know of something that can mod it to work?

You're gonna have to ask some Merge experts on that. Surely theres something special you have to do because its provisioned as a CDMA phone by default. You probably have to do something for it to recognize your SIM properly for GSM.
Probably. Honestly. I found one on Craigslist that the dude was running on tmobile and I tried to find it just about an hour ago and now I can't. So I couldn't ask him. But I tried to contact one guy who was in the merge dev. Or at least he was

It IS the G2...
The G2, Desire Z, Vanguard, and Merge is actually called "HTC Vision". But the Merge never had the Z hinge that the G2 and Desire Z had. But that's why they all have the 2nd Gen 800Mhz Snapdragon.
The thing about the Merge is, it was meant to be the HTC Vision for Verizon, but Verizon never let it be released in their stores. I think US Cellular has it right now though, and it is completely compatible with Verizon's network. So the Merge is like the long lost brother of the G2 and Desire Z.
Anyways to answer your question, your HTC Merge will be able to be serviced under T-Mobile (and even At&t) according to phonescoop.
http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=2905
CDMA 850 / 1900
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
WCDMA 2100
I really like how it has both GSM AND CDMA radios
-EDIT-
I remember on my cousin's Droid 2 Global, have you tried to go to Settings and Wireless settings and then you had to change something from like "CDMA only" or "GSM only"?
Yeah I tried my att sim. It says no service. I have the u.s cellular one. Temp rooted with visionary. I sim unlocked it too

A rom might be nice. I'm only temp rooted. Got a link? Id wonder if s-off root and a rom would do me well. I remember with my droid incredible 2 when I rooted it via revolutionary it worked on tmobile. I wish the merge was the same. I love the merge more

And mine is sim unlocked. Temp rooted. Stock 2.2 us cellular rom. And now it doesn't say no service. It says emergency calls only.

Please I hope someone who's an expert on the merge will read this and help me in my situation.

I have one and I'm using a tmobile sim card, and everything works fine. Its the radio, you have to flash a different radio to get it working
What radio do you have to flash?

R u serious? Its been like 4 months is your issue not fixed yet? I would've tried different apn settings.
So I've been looking at this phone for some time now and I'm currently on the LG thrill 4G and on Straight talk so here are my questions
1. Will it work on Straight talk 3g hspa like my thrill does ?
2. Worth switching ? It seems like the 2x has much better community and LG support and I'm a stickler on good community support
3. Speed ? Is it aosp or similar or is it running lg interface stock
4. Any other comments or things you'd like to tell me about the comparison of the two or anything of importance I should know

Get the t-mobile version sim and you should have 3G.
Yes the phone is good.
You can choose between aosp roms and LG roms. I use CM7.2
Okay thanks for letting me know unfortunate but I have the AT&T card is it absolutely necessary to switch?
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA
I'd hold off until the galaxy s 3 :/.
This is a phone with amazing potential... but with no support from LG/nvidia, they crippled the hardware with lack of software.
Still good though, but unless you're getting it for cheap... I wouldn't do it.

Just ask them for the t mobile one...
It's necessary if the phone isn't unlocked, if it is unlocked you just won't get 3G.
