Good day to you all,
I would like to know if there's any way at all that a T-Mobile G1 can access the Rogers 3G network. Radio update, etc?
I have posted this question in the Dream and Dream Q&A section with no responses. I'm sure this isn't specifically a development question, but you guys might know the answer.
Thanks!
no it is a hardware not a software limitation sorry
Not what I wanted to hear, but it makes sense.
So on the Rogers network, I'll be stuck with the EDGE data?

The radio in the phone dictates the frequency, not the SIM right?

yes but the normal g1 can not utilise these frequencies unless it falls between a specific range which the rogers 3g network does not. However the t-mobile ones do
correct - its a frequency thing, which is dictated by the radio hardware, not the sim or a software setting.

So the T-Mobile G1 is able to use the Rogers 3G network, but only if it has a T-Mobile SIM?

nope it is only able to use a t-mobile 3g network with a tmobile sim. I meant you should buy a t-mobile sim for use with the t-mobile network if you really needed it.

Rogers definitely supports full 3G, it's 3.5G (HSDPA) as a matter of fact.
The G1 runs on a different frequency and can't access the Rogers 3G, only EDGE data network.
The point of this thread was to see if the G1 radio was capable of using the Rogers frequencies... Guess not...
Doesnt rogers carry the dream? Why get a Tmobile G1 when the Rogers Dream is the same phone except it uses the correct frequencies for 3G?

I bought a 'bricked' G1 on eBay for $40. I fixed it in a matter of minutes. I figured it was a hell of a deal, but I didn't think about the fact that I would be missing 3G here in Canada.
I already own the HTC Magic 32A (Rogers), this G1 is just to play around with.
No idea why anyone brought up SIM cards or whatever. That's utterly irrelevant, and only served to confuse people. Thanks.
The radio in the TMO G1 only supports UMTS Band I (2100) and Band IV (AWS). The Rogers G1 supports Band II (1900).
My recommendation is to resell that fixed G1, and find yourself a Rogers Dream.
You can convert your HTC Dream to 3G in Canada by replacing the antenna. Here's a link to a (probably) T-Mobile antenna as an example. But if you can find one for Canadian frequencies... Good luck!
Ive had the g1 before the dream came out , if I were to get a dream do I root the same way with the downgrade then flash new Rom , I m running hero Rom right now on my g1 .

Ok, I just picked up a T-mob Sensation. It's unlocked but afer tossing my at&t sim card in it, its only displaying "E" I've tried a tinkering in the settings but no luck. To my understanding this isn't an issue with the Canda version, but thats no help to me being i dont have the Candian version.
I'm coming from an unlocked T-mobil unlocked Vibrant that I've used for a while now w/ an at&t sim & have always been able to get 3G/H. Is there a work around for this on the Sensation ? Or am I simply screwed & have to resell it ? I love the phone & have wanted it for a while now but cant deal with only being stuck on EDGE. Thanks

Hi,
It could just be that a radio upgrade is all you need.
Check HERE
The Tmobile Sensation only has AWS bands. It does not support the 3G bands of AT&T. The Vibrant on the other hand had all the bands.
yeah, no matter what you do.. you won't get 3G using the tmob bands and yes, it's an issue to canada versions. If I used it right now (on Rogers) I would also only get Edge. the only companies I would get 3G on are the new companies using the AWS bands such as mobilicity/wind/etc. The big 3 would have an issue!
That's weird that you've been using t-mobs vibrant.. maybe someone else can enlighten us!

Hey guys I came across a few brand new in box Fido One s's for about 400$ each
Would this model be compatible with the custom roms in this forum?
I was also considering the Canadian Wind SGS 3 but there is practically no development for that phone since it has different baseband than the T-mobile version
If the fido variant is compatible with the custom roms I might just have to flag down the first seller; tell them to shut up and take my money!!
he he
I bought a Fido version a week ago on Kijiji for 400 to use on Wind. An amazing deal for sure. I thought I would want an S3 but the price, $650, and the size were too much for me. Haven't regretted it one bit and am running CM9 on it. Can't wait for Jelly Bean.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Definitely a good deal! (for those looking for a One S........)
The Fido One S is compatible to all custom ROMs and, once unlocked, run fine on AWS bands (T-Mobile, Wind, Mobilicity, Videotron).
Wait, the Fido One S supports AWS bands? Do all Canadian One S'? I did not know that One S' were pentaband.

I don't think its Pentaband and I can't test it.
But I can use my Videotron (AWS) SIM in it and it show Videotron unlike other incompatible phones that go on Rogers' network since Videotron don't have GSM antennas. (I don't have data on this account tho)
There was a thread about this last month and it listed all Canadian FCC numbers and supported bands.

The One S from Fido works on Wind for sure, it's what I use. I have also used a mobilicity sim in it. I unlocked it, set the APNs and it was good to go.

I have same problem as you.
I have a VirginMobile HTC One S (FCC ID: PJ40110) which is penta-band and includes AWS. The phone is SIM unlocked and was successfully tested with Bell, Rogers and Wind. IT DOES NOT WORK WITH MOBILICITY.
Looking for some ideas. Would re-flashing radio only help? TIA.

According to the Virgin Mobile site, it's a triband 3G device, which excludes the 1700mhz frequency that Mobilicity uses. I just purchased a Mobilicity one. Got it unlocked and it works fine on Rogers. I'm guessing Mobilicity got the same version as T-Mobile in the US which includes the 850mhz frequency.

The facts that it works fine on WIND and the same FCC ID as T-mobie phones clearly show that it is an AWS phone. According to the HTC letter posted on thread 1673378, Mobilicity could lock AWS bands for unlocked phones.

I wouldn't be surprised if Mobilicity did that. IMO, Mobilicity is worse than the Big 3. I have had my fair share of problems with Mobi.

I need to apologize for the false alarm.
I have tried again with an active Mobilicity SIM card and I can confirm that the Virgin branded, SIM unlocked, HTC One S it is working indeed. It will not authenticate automatically but if you do a network search and select the network manually it will work. I've noticed the same behavior on WIND as well.
Thank you everyone.

I'm glad you got it working! I was certain the One S worked with all 3G carriers. The Virgin Mobile site is a bit confusing though. When I popped my Rogers sim in, I just had to put the Rogers APN in. I will evidentally pop my Moblicity sim back in since I already paid for the first month. I just wanted to make sure everything was working well on the Rogers network.
Hi,
well i read and saw some youtube post that he Verizon HTC One M8 comes sim unlocked.
Well i would like to purchase one and use on my Wind Mobile network (T-Mobile same). My current phone is from T-Mobile and unlocked and works fine on my Wind Mobile.
Can anyone confirm this that the Verizon comes unlocked and will work on T-Mobile/Wind Network?
Thanks you

There is a thread in the development section of the VZW M8 forum with a how to enable fully functional T-mobile usage.
But out of the box I think it supports Voice on GSM and HSPA+ data and there maybe some additional fooling around necessary to get Text and MMS working. This is generally the story with all Verizons new smart phones.

Lol there are some threads already and some videos. I also have purchased one. I can confirm it is unlocked. Works great with Canadian Fido, rogers, telus and bell.
Somehow it cannot detect wind mobile at all which is really odd. It is confirmed that it works with T-Mobile. My old lg g2 is from T-Mobile which is unlocked and works great with wind. I simply don't understand why the tmobile sim will work Verizon HTC one m8 and not my wind sim. Both are wcdma. ��

Wind uses 1700 mhz which T-Mobile uses as well but not exclusively. This is why t-mobile phones will work on wind but just because a phone works with T-Mobile doesn't mean it will work on wind.

Hello to everybody.
I have opened this thread to untherstand if there is any chace to make work my Verizon M8 with the network band here in europe.
My M8 with the HD revolution 50 Rom work exelent expet for the network signal.
I saw that here in europe more or less the band used by the phone are the same of the ATT network in US.
If I put the ATT radio I can have more signal?
Thanks.
P.S.
Sorry for my english.

I do not believe it is as simple as just putting the ATT radio on the device, but honestly, I do not know.
Maybe you can SuperCID and flash the ATT radio (DON'T do this based on me..)
It may help to do some research on older HTC devices and getting Verizon variants to work on ATT and possibly edit that method for this device?
