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.

every now and then i see people saying "this rom is compatible with the sensation and sensation 4g" do is there really two different sensations and if there is, could someone put a pic of both of them in the comments cause i dont undersatnd the difference
They are the same thing.
I think it just means that if you have a T-Mobile 4g that you will get the wifi calling and other T-Mobile specific apps. And if the rom detects that you don't then it won't install those apps. But I'm not sure.

International Sensation vs T-Mobile US Sensation 4G. US version has different radio that operates on the "4G" band that T-Mobile uses. Not really any hardware difference other than an additional antenna for TMOUS. Some ROMs may only have support for the international version, others may only support US version. Most ROMs support both though.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
All roms work on either phone but tmous stock roms have extra apps which are network specific like wifi calling. If anything it's only a users choice of radio that makes any meaningful difference to compatibility.

The name thing is a known issue, search and you'll find more information.
As for signature, do you mean the model number/name? If so, what ROM are you running. Some ROMs brand the Inspire as a Desire (since they are basically the same phone).
Runnin stock rom not rooted or anything. The midel numer in the phone under identity is inspire 4g is all it says

Ah! My apologies for being ignorant! I forget sometimes not everyone is rooted! The same still applies for the contacts though. I know some people have brought up the issue. You can try a 3rd party messaging app, that should take care of it. ( I use GO SMS).
As for the Desire HD signature, are you talking about the one that comes up when you post on XDA? Because if so, you can just change that. Take a peak at your about phone settings and see if it says Inspire or Desire.
In about phone it says inspire 4g

Well then your phone is branded correctly. If you're wondering why it says desire in your signature, I have no idea. But you can change that to whatever you want through the settings tab in the XDA app itself.

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

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?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE Z715e with Beats Audio
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

Hi all, so I'm in the process of buying a second hand Sensation which is currently locked to Bell (Canada).
I've seen a few ways in order to sim unlock this here on XDA forum, but is there one recommended way for noobs to follow in order to unlock?
Also, I have seen there is a HTC Sensation and a HTC Sensation 4G. Is there anyway I can tell if the phone I am buying is a 4G?
Thanks in advance
Actually that is wrong. The sensation 4g picks up 4g. The normal one can't and never will, it doesn't have the extra antenna to be able to anyway. The xe and the normal sensation are the same just that the xe has red lights which are admittedly quite sexy

Yes the yahoo answers aren't really valid but honstely search it up. When I went to America and I connected to the T-Mobile network why couldn't I pick up 4g in the heart of new york?

The Sensation's 4G is HSDPA. Every Sensation is capable of that, even without the antenna.
I am actually going to use one of your sources.
So I got the case today and put it on. To my surprise, everything seems to work. I het the normal 4G HSDPA signal and data speeds for my area, and Bluetooth and WiFi work just fine with identical levels to the 4G case.

It only shows the 4G icon on a non-T-Mobile Sensation if you change the icon from H to 4G.
