Sensation 4g question

Can this phone get 4g speed using a HSPA+ network???
It can go up to 14,4mbps. It's exactly the same as the european sensation, except the name.
I've used speed test and got 4 mbs down and 2 mbs up but I don't think I was in a good signal place

That's good to know.

No, you won't have hspa+ speed on AT&T. It doesn't have the right band for it. Only compatible in europe and tmobile US.

If you want to use it on at&t and get 3g/h, you need a bell sensation from Canada.

Yes it has 3G on 1700 and 2100Mhz. You cannot tell if you are on 3G or 4G because what T-Mobile calls 4G is really 3.5G (HSDPA+). It is not true 4G. The phone just says 4G whether you are connected to 3G or 4G. When it says 4G you are really only using 3G as T-Mobile is deceiving you and playing a shell game. Having said that, the phone's max speed is 21Mbps per second which is pretty darn fast, but not real 4G.
So does the latest nightly actually tell u ure getting 3g or 4g

Me too. I have 3G activated and when I switch to 3G it shows me 3g but it is slower than the edge network. I get speed like 10kbps but the 3G speed in my nokia phone with the same carrier is 2-5mbps

[Q] Radio Question

I've got an AT&T straight talk sim in my i9020t and can only get an edge connection, from what I can tell it looks like I need a Tmobile sim. I read about an SII that you could flash a radio that would make it work though, anyone know anything about this? I'd rather try flashing some before I order a new sim.
I've heard that too about the GSII, but I'm afraid the situation is different for the nexus s. Your I9020T's 3g radio will only work on tmobiles frequencies; the hardware's reception capabilities cannot be changed by flashing something.
Now, I'm not familiar with the sim you currently have in, BUT, if that network uses the same frequencies as T-Mobile, all you need to do is adjust your APN's.
I'd look up the frequencies for you, but I'm off to class..
Let my know how it goes/what you find!

I'm pretty sure that he's right about being stuck on the edge with at&t. 3g frequency only on tmobile. You would need a pentaband phone like the gnex to get both carriers 3g or hpsa+

Yep, at&t 3g frequencies are not the same as T-Mobile frequencies. You definitely need a T-Mobile sim for your i9020T
