Metro uses cdma phones, while the Inspire is a gsm phone. Radios are not compatible.

You cant unlock a GSM phone to work on a CDMA network. The hard ware doesnt support it. When you unlock a GSM phone that just allows you to use it with another sim card based company.

Look at Verizon and Sprint phones. (Both use CDMA networks) Or any wireless carrier that operates on CDMA - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_wireless_communications_service_providers
Then look at xda development threads for those phones. (will have tutorials if they can be unlocked/rooted/s-off'd)

At&t uses different radio bands for 3g/4g. You will only be able to access the edge network.
So what do u think using the infuse in tmobile? Is it better to just get the phone thats locked to its own carrier.or the sim unlock phone?

Your going to have really slow data. That's the only difference. It will still work just fine just take for ever to use the net and things like that since it will only be on edge. I'd just suggest sticking with a carrier specific phone if your worried about data speeds.
Wat phone from at&t will fully work for tmobile 3g/4g data...

Likely none - I have yet to see an AT&T phone that supported the AWS 3G band that T-Mobile uses.

You might be able to esn clone your triumph (or other vm android phone) to a droid x. It's an expensive experiment though. Also, some people believe it's illegal. I personally don't think it's illegal since the rule was in place to prevent people from acquiring someone's cell info and then stealing that victim's service.
Well I have some extra old unactivated sprint phones so Mabey I can swap one with it...

My friend has the Wildfire, which is nice, but 3.2" screen sucks. I need to get him a good phone. So I'm going to buy him one, but which is a good phone to start with and easy to port. I saw the sprint nexus and it looked a little difficult. The evo was a little easier. But im open to any carrier or phone, anyone have good experiences?
I am also interested in porting my phone to metro... I have TMobile gs2 not sure its possible since I have sim tech.

It won't be possible with GSM devices. Only CDMA can be flashed to Metro. Try Simple mobile if you want GSM

Should I just get a Nexus S 4G?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636058
I came across a great deal the other day, thought i would upgrade my HTC mytouch to a htc 1 s.
Now I've got this great device... but i don't think it supports the bands.
From what I've read it's the same device, same FCC ID and everything... i've unlocked it, but won't connect.
any takers?
possible?
Call wind.
As far as your any takers comment..if you are trying to sell it please read the rules

i meant to say mobilicity, not wind... it won't even pick up any networks though. seems like aws isn't activated or something on the device.
I use an unlocked Fido One S on Wind, it works perfectly, I actually get better reception then I did with my G2 which was a t-mobile phone. I have tested it with a Mobilicity sim and it works, just need to set the APNs and the phone must be unlocked
got it
got it, please delete thread.
How can you get T Mobile LTE network working on the G2X?

You don't. Our phones do not support an LTE network.
I was under the impression that the G2X had the (AWS) 4th band at 1700mh and at 1900mh.
If so why wouldn't it work?

Give it up - it does NOT have LTE. When this phone was built, T-Mobile didn't even have a clue how they were going to even IMPLEMENT LTE, let alone have any devices with support for it. Just because the same frequency is used, doesn't mean the same technology is used. The 4G in this phone is WCDMA which is totally different than LTE..
Man, why am I wasting my time.... go away and enjoy your 4G.
Guys, let's not be so harsh on OP.
To answer your question OP, the G2x does not have the hardware required to enable LTE. There is no LTE antenna, amplifier, nor chipset. The best we can get with the G2X is HSPA+ (4G). Hopefully this answers your question.
So just make sure that if they switch to LTE in your area before your contract is up....they give you a phone that works on it. Just sayin....

I'm pretty sure that they won't completely disable HSPA+ in the area if they brought on LTE.
I think, the only people left on the g2x forums are all jaded because of this phone. Don't feel to bad OP just understand that most of the people here have been waiting patiently for something good to happen with this phone for years.
