[Q] htc inspire is it working fine on simple mobile??

i have a question i just bought a htc inspire and was wondering if i get it unlocked would it work correctly on t mobile or simple mobile i heard the band is different but if it is att just like the iphones once it is unlocked everything should work fine can anyone help me answer that queston?

phone will work but not 3g, you will get edge instead. simple mobile has same band as tmobile for 3g

ok what is edge is it slower than 3g?

Yes, EDGE is 2G.

ok will all the other phone features work?

Yea it should

2g with full internet pages is pretty slow though, takes forever to load anything, sending email and stuff like that should be fine but u can scratch watching youtube videos without waiting awhile

ok i have a samsung galaxy s at&t phone will the inspire work the same as the galaxy s?

also is the galaxy s at&t pnone on the same band as the htc inspire?

so would it be better if i used a iphone 4 unlocked with simple mobile?

als ocan you assist me in getting my htc inspire unlocked??????

hi,
please help if you can. i was thinking about getting htc inspire 4g from radio shack and would like to use simple mobile as my carrier. i understand that the phone has to be unlocked and GSM. my question is once it's unlocked do i need to change the access name point(apn) on the phone in order to use the internet?
thank you

anyone using Motorola Htc Inspire on Simple Moblile? any problem with internet ? do they "throttle" your usage?

Any AT&T phone on T-Mobile service will run on edge, doesn't matter which phone you use.

Yes you do have to change the apn but it tells you step by step on the website here: Simple Mobile Support .

[Q] Rooted and Unlocked HTC inspire only EDGE?

Hello everyone,
Im sure someone can confirm what i have found from searching.
That the inspire unlocked will ONLY have edge capabilities due to a hardware limitation?
Reason why I ask, is b.c i just rooted,unlocked, and im only getting Edge.
Can anyone confirm this, or push me in the right direction to making the network be like it should in 4G or H?
Thanks.

You have something wired happening as rooting/unlocking does not limit the phone to edge.

On tmobile in the US or in a country that has different 3g band than at&t.

Nope worked just fine when it was at&t at 4g and H.
I called tmobile and they have also confirmed that the phone unlocked on t-mobile will only be EDGE due to hardware issues.
Im still looking into it...
Thanks for your input.

This is the HTC inspire that was being used on USA at&t, but i unlocked it and rooted, and it works great on t-mobile, just only limited to EDGE.
Thanks.

People in this forum have been saying that the I4G and DHD have the same hardware,so this is confirmation that the date signal receiver in I4G is different than DHD and no radio,software can allow the I4G from receiving 2100 frequency?
Can someone comfirm this?

You are absolutely correct about no being able to change frequencies. If your carrier is T-Mobile, why don't you get the HTC Sensation?

besides,i like tinkering with this version of dhd for a little longer,while waiting for sensation to have a cm7 rom...

Sounds like you got rickrolled into purchasing a phone. Lawl.

No 3G. Baseband chip only supports 3G on 1700 and 2100. AT&T uses 850 and 1900 so it will never get 3G on AT&T unless the TMO merger goes through (highly unlikely) and they keep the TMO frequencies (again highly unlikely).

The only phones that support AT&T and T-Mobile bands is high end NOKIA devices
N8, E7, E6
Its Symbian and sad to say, it's not in the same league as Android.
And trust me, I'm even looking for AT&T phones only to have options for any type of GSM carrier. Mostly because of pre-paid devices use AT&T or T-mobile bands
Its not a total loss. You could get Simple Mobile No contract plans. You'll get 4G. Its not AT&T but its only way you'll get high speed on the G2X.
And if you are on AT&T contract, you did get suckered into buying a phone. Live and learn I say.

You could always sell it to somebody else.

Yeah it's a bit much, but they're still begging for help when they've already been answered with the only answer possible:
You cannot use 3G on the T-Mobile G2x on AT&T. No software could possibly solve this. It is a physical limitation in the hardware modem. It might be somehow possible to rip the current modem out and solder a new one in and redo the base hardware drivers etc etc but that would be far more trouble than it is worth.
So, you can't use 3G on the T-Mobile G2x on AT&T. Period. Fin. End of story. Close thread please..

Could someone help with my phone problem? I have wifi data connection but no 3g connection. I'm with a provider like t mobile ... videotron... same bandwidth ... but I never see any 3g icons or something else... how to configure that?

Go into your settings, wireless & networks, mobile networks, access point names and set up a new apn for Videotron. Don't as her for the information to enter. Google for it. You should set up one for internet and one for mms.

Run a SR on Tmobile H+ Network?

Hey I was just wondering if it was possible to unlock a Skyrocket then flash a Tmobile radio and receive H+ data speeds. How would I go about doing it? Which radio would you suggest? Thanks.

Nobody? Theretically it could be done but I just want someone to confirm for me.

After unlocking phone someone tried running t-mobile sim and he said only edge but he did not flash t989 radio so idk. If i can unlock it for free i will try it and let you know.

I have an opportunity to get my hands on one of these phones very soon. I have a HTC HD2 on T-mobile's network. If it is not a bother, could you verify this? I wouldn'' want to be responsible for you bricking your phone, but I would be most appreciative for the information on it's possibilty if you know what you are doing.
It is unlocked.

What do you need me to verify?? I m confused !
Because you can run t**** on i727 with edge network plus you can flash t989 radios on i727 i done that before but not with t**** sim card.

its not possible because t-mobile radios for skyrocket dont exist, so you can't flash an other radio for tmobile as it wont work and you migh just end up screwing your phone. tmobile sucks man, change to anything else.......if you like good hardware that it

Yes they exist what you talking about!! YOu can flash them. Here you can dload and flash it through cwm.

HSPA+ will not work with the Skyrocket no matter if a radio exists or not. The simple reason is that supported H+ frequencies are 1700 for download and 2100mhz for upload and skyrocket only goes 1900mhz and 2100mhz. So unless you are able to enable the 1700mhz frequency, 4G or 3G will not work with the skyrocket! Edge is the only frequency that will

Its already been proven that the SR has the 1700/2100 bands, just not enabled in software. Its why we can flash their modems and it works perfectly fine.

I'll be travelling to the states next week and will flash either the Telus or Tmobile radio to use Tmobile's prepaid plans. If no one's replied back to you by then, I'll let you know what I find.
However, there are already reported success of people with SR and the Telus radio using the phone on Canada's 1700 AWS network (Wind).. so pretty sure it'll work. Flashing the radio is safe as well, I've already done it once.

Well make sure you do nandroid before flashing that t989 radio. Plus he wants to know how it will run with tmobile sim card and t989 radio on unlocked phone.

OK, I'm in Orlando now and got the T-Mobile prepaid plan...I flashed the T-Mobile vk1 radio and for some reason, I can't connect to any data. I wasn't even able to go into the mobile network settings screen to see the apn settings. Got a msg to insert a sim card to access services...
I then flashed the telus radio and got 3g right away. Speeds are pretty pathetic tho...only 2m down...maybe I'm just too spoiled by lte
Anyways, it's been a long tiring day so I won't do anymore testing right now..maybe tmr I'll try the other kl1 T-Mobile radio.

[Q] One+1 and T mobile LTE

I just got my One+ and i had notice that I do not have LTE H+ only. My wife's nexus has LTE in the same area where Oneplus does not have it. I Did bunch of research and I was under impression that this phone does support T mobile LTE - was I wrong or the phone is broken?
please help

sure it does if when doing your research like I did on mine I see it works on Band 4 which is T-Mobiles band for LTE. I get speeds up to 36dl and 19up with my ONe.

But I think I got it figured out - You are right it works in LTE - when i had 4G on screen i used the app you send me link for and that app shows LTE as network. So the bottom line is that 4G stands for LTE in stock rom and it is possible that Nexus has a stronger radio than One so in some areas i do not get LTE.
Anyway Thanks a Lot for your help - got a little worried ( Got the phone just yesterday). I think i will keep it stock for a little while before i will root it

The radio performance seems the same for me as my N5, I'm living in NYC.
Do note that "LTE" on a Nexus 5 is displayed as"4G" on the OnePlus One. Ensure that your APN is on T-Mobile 4G LTE IPv6 (fast.t-mobile.com), for some reason when I started my phone it was on MetroPCS instead.

nah root it its more fun that way and fyi they just came out with an update to 4.4.4 stock from what I have been reading. I saw this posted in earlier.... I guess you will be getting an update soon.
One suggestion if you plan on rooting and unlocking bootloader I suggest doing it now since it will wipe everything when rooting... There is a method where you wont lose data but it will not unlock your bootloader

To OP: How old is your SIM card? Have you ever received LTE signal on a previous device? I receive LTE on TMobile 4G perfectly fine, I just wish the "4G" showed up as "LTE" as my Nexus 5 did. I guess I could personally go skin it to say LTE instead but its just cosmetics.
And I completely agree with unlocking the bootloader, even if OP doesn't have any intentions to rooting/flashing, at least do it now so when you do decide to do it then you will be able to back everything up without having your device get wiped.
Edit: OP also go into dialer and type in *#*#4636#*#* then go into phone information -> scroll down -> under set preferred network type: LTE/GSM auto (PRL).

I thought the same thing (coming from a Nexus 5). I was worried that the OnePlus One did not support LTE but it definitely does. For some reason Cyanogen did not include a separate LTE icon as what's found on the Nexus 5 and most other LTE capable phones.

For sure its weird how they didn't adopt "LTE" and used "4G" instead. You can always go and change it to "LTE" with some apk hacking. Pretty easy to do.

So does your phone get "4G" now? You can verify in Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> Mobile network type -> should be LTE if the top right says "4G"
The best way to unlock/root is to NOT use a toolkit. Yeah a toolkit is easier, but honestly unlocking a bootloader is not hard and the skills you obtain by doing it yourself are important. You won't lose warranty, you can always relock it and use the bit mod and OnePlus will never know. Plus OnePlus encourages the whole custom rom scene since thats why they have a Development forum on their official forums.

I called AT&T to have the IMEI changed over to the OPO since I was on the Nexus5. CyanogenMod doesn't technically come with LTE icon, personally I can careless but it does look nice at top lol. And you're correct on my device under Mobile Network Type it shows LTE but icon on top shows 4G.

4G is LTE
H+ is HSPA+
3G is ... 3G
edge is edge :crying:
The first speed test in my sig is my LTE speeds using my OPO... Pretty typical, maybe a little faster than my old Galaxy Note 2. :good:

how does one change it to the LTE symbol?

I'm just curious. If you know 4G means LTE, whats the difference if it says LTE? Not trying to be an A-hole...just curious.

If you run the CM11 nightlies on the OnePlus One the phone will show LTE in an LTE area. Only the stock CM11S shows LTE as 4G.

I would think that people on xda are more well informed.
Carriers like to change the official terms to make you "buy" into a "technological" leap.
Most of the roms outside North America uses 4G (instead of LTE). This is all about marketing.
HSPA(+) are 3rd generation networks while LTE is the 4th generation.
back in the day:
iPhone = edge speed 2.75G
iPhone 3G = HSPA 3G (7.2) speed
iPhone 4 = HSPA+ 3.5G (carriers in north america tried really hard to change this to 4G)
iPhone 5 = LTE 4G

I agree fully with Line 1 - especially here we should do more homework before posting...

my oneplus signal is terrible compared to my n5

mine is better then g2. Do note that your phone may or may not have the bands your provider has for lte. This you should have checked before you got the phone.
Also delete apn and reboot.
If it works better something went wrong there. If it doesnt check your providers website if setings are all correct.
If they are you might need a new sim/ or lte enabled via your provider.
