My Cousin sent me a HTC Inspire 4G in india.
- I have not rooted it yet but would be doing ti today.
- I was just looking about the Reviews for this phone and found something i was confused about
- I found that Inspire 4G's 3g does not work in india because of the difference in frequencies for india and US
- So Basically i wanted to know is there any custom ROM or Radio version that would make it work.
- Any other Fix or technique to make it work.
No you can't change the hardware in the phone so you can't change the frequencies it supports, please search first there are sooooo many threads on this

I am moving to the UK in a few weeks. I am currently with T Mobile USA and was wondering if anyone knew how will my devices work over there. I know i will need to get them unlocked but i have a few 4g phones and dont know if they use the same service there. I have the following devices, MyTouch 4g, Samsung Vibrant and Samsung Vibrant 4g, galaxt tablet.
Thanks in advance.
I believe you can call t mobile and let them know youre moving and they will let you know what to do.. If I'm not mistaken the gsm band is different in uk so they csm tell you if your phone if compatible..

yes I can call t mobile and they can unlock them I was just wondering what band for service do they use there.
If i were to flash my inspire 4g with CM7 rom and say flash the inspire 4g with a radio and ril from dhd,would that mean i am able to use the inspire 4g with the 3g frequency being used in europe and the rest of asia?
I understand that the 3g frequency used by at&t(850/1900) is different from the rest of the world,say singapore or france(2100) of course by flashing a dhd radio,i lose 4g connectivity but thats fine by me since i like experimenting.
i understand also that most htc phones are quad band and i4g's hardware is not that much different than dhd.
Is what i suggesting possible?or this is a hardware issue rather than a software issue.
The frequencies depends on the hardware

I tried searching but I couldn't find anything that would help me to be the wiser. What differs the 4G version and the 3G version <- which I have?
Is it possible to turn a 3G to a 4G? Is it just drivers or physical hardware that differs them?
Kind Regards,
Jolaren
its just an icon on the sensation...... besides the band differences on the couple versions out there they are all the same!
but on a realistic level, there is hardware that makes the difference from a 'TRUE' 4G to a 3G device
'h' is 3g
So my European bought Sensation won't be able to run 4G ever?

Well. You see, the T-Mobile 4G isn't even 4G its actually 3G they just call it 4G.. So "H" is basically "4G" for T-Mobile users. So don't worry, you're not missing out on anything. It's just an icon
All current 4G is not true 4G. But it is marketed as such. That's not the question here.
3g can do up to about 3mbs on average. It uses a different radio spectrum than 4G phones.
For example my sensation hits 5mbs while my wifes 3g Samsung Galaxy S can only reach 300kps to 600kps when compared side by side. It will depend on your proximity to the tower, but my real world tests were done side by side so hopefully that helps you. Don't take my advice though, go to your nearest store and run the comparison yourself!
Hope this helps!
Hello Desi,
I sent Inspire 4g Unlock from USA to India. My relative in India use it with tata docomo. I reportedly saying he is loosing connection. same SIM card works fine in HTC HD2 running android 2.3.7 from sdcard with continuous connection. I have try little bit of trail and error here and there read lots of forum. But i think issue is with Inspire being 4g and radio is usa, radio 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M.
Phone currently running Custom Sense ROM.
Any one out here using same combination and did not above face issue?
Any suggestion which is proper(good) radio that i can try for India?
ANy one with upto date APN setting for TATA Docomo ( I tried many like TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET and use rest default)?
Same issue reported with Airtel as well not staying connected constantly. so above questions applies for Airtel setting as well.
looking for same thing.. any1?? bump please
amazing, Thanks guys
I guess HD DESIRE HD listens to 2100 band FOR 3G
while HTC INSPIRE 1900 BAND FOR 3G
AND 3G IN INDIA HAS 2100 BAND
So i guess it should make things work
Correction-it wont work

Hello Guys! I'm looking for an information, I'd like to buy an Android phone from Orlando for use it in Italy, i saw the Sensaion 4g from T-Mobile but i have a question: Does the Sensation 4g works in Italy? I think that yes but i'm no sure, and another question, Does the normal Sensation's rom works in 4g version from T-Mobile?
Thanks!
Yes you can. The 4G has ALL the European bands plus an extra band (1700 MHz) for T-Mobile USA.
You will have a lot of useless programs onboard (That you can't use because they are tied to a T-mobile subscription or network) but nothing that can't be solved with a good flashing
I m also using an sensation 4g in India without any problem,
Capychimp is also using US Sensation 4G in Sweden no problems 3G work
