Okay so I bought a AT&T htc one x. I rooted the phone. Unlocked the boot loader. Now on rebel rom. I put my tmobile SIM card in the phone and it gives me no reception. At all. And says no service. I went to the settings and mobile data, than did network operators. Did select automatically. And says "unable to connect to network at this time, please try again." So than I did search networks. All it pulls up is AT&T and US. So I got curious and tried us and it had no positive return. Now I need help as I seriously just got this phone yesterday and it sucks its just sitting here now. And no I have no phone. Any help would be appreciated.
did you SIM unlock it?
I SIM unlocked mine, and got no reception, but I didn't have a chance to change APNs and such.

Yeah I bought the sim unlock code prior to rooting with success on stock sense but still never had reception.
Update: I disassembled the phone to check the cables to see if any were loose or damaged and to find out that ALL antenna cables are in tact in good shape, connected perfectly and everything, so I know that this is a issue within the software of the phone. I did use an unlock code on the stock os and when I didn't get reception than is when I rooted the phone with still no change. Any help is appreciated thank you!
You still haven't mentioned if you changed your APN settings.
Same thing happened with me last night, but on an iPhone. Just won't get service no matter what SIM I put in.

I did have the apns how they're suppose to be. And I put my sim back in my iPhone and it works fine. Its just every time I put my sim in this phone it will not work. Still really confused because hardware is fine.

What this person said....you have to change apn settings, also did you trim your tmoblie SIM card down to make it fit? Technically if apn if changed and you have a working tmobile SIM it shouldn't be possible to pick up att. Also did you try using it it case icons are saying att but signal is tmobile. You should be able to check what band you are on to verify.....good luck on your quest

So apn is set for tmobile. Micro sim was got from tmobile. Still no luck.
Craigslist..? Got an att sim to check out? Maybe a quick call to at&t to verify the imei is not blacklisted if you haven't already

Yes. It was blacklisted sadly. This is why I hate craigslist. I got ripped off. Now I understand why it was so cheap compared to the other ones. I guess it was kinda my fault. Thanks guys for all your suggestions.

It really wasn't what I was hoping. But it sucks they do that but they do what they gotta do. I'm just sol on this phone. Taking a $200 loss. But I think I may just part the phone out considering the screen is brand new and the parts are pricey now days. Well. Not to sure what I'm gonna do with it yet actually. But hopefully something beneficial.

I'm pretty sure it would work but you will have to cut the sim card to the micro sim size

You've had an attitude in 2 of your 3 posts in this thread. This is a very new device with extremely limited supply currently.
The biggest problem you might run into is being able to change APNs as in stock AT&T guise they're not accessible. If it.pulls APNs from the network automatically, you should.have no problem.

Ha. I've found the One X community to be extremely noob-tolerant and overall less flamey than every other XDA device forum I've been on.
It seems you've been on here long enough to know to use the search function.
Searching "straight talk" in General yielded a bunch of mentions on the T-Mobile thread. Several people stated it should work. But it doesn't seem that anyone here has tried it, and confirmed it to work yet:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=26890042
You need to get it carrier unlocked too.. search there are tons of threads that talk about where you can get it done.
Basically it is just a website that you pay like $7 enter your IMEI in and it spits out an unlock code then you can use the phone on non-ATT carriers. Until you do this you cannot use the phone on any carrier other than ATT.
It worked for me and I get hspa+ speeds.

Having been forced, by my blatant stupidity swimming with the phone in my shorts, to buy a second brand new LTE HOX I bought a Rogers one and was able to compare it directly with the unlocked AT&T I had bought a week previously.
Rogers has both an FM Radio and tethering enabled out of the box. But you will all know that.
Here's the thing though. I got a new SIM card as well. So, with new phone and SIM I begin to set up my WiFi access points again. The phone finds my company one AND knows the password already. So WiFi passwords are uploaded to Rogers' cloud I guess. Prob old news to you experts out there but a bit of a shock to me.

Has anyone made this switch? Please tell me there are no GPS issues as that is a big reason I'm leaving Sammy. Well, that and being too big.
The one I'm getting has 2.20 but I guess that's just a temporary set back. Looking forward to AOSP eventually on the HOX!

I myself moved from the note just over 2 weeks ago. Honestly, i do miss the big screen and sd slot, but other than that, i like this phone too much. The screen is crazy sharp and bright. Also the phone is very compact for the screen size. Battery life is also pretty decent.
I moved from a international note I picked up on launch to my att one xl, could not be happier. Miss the better rom support but I'm over amoled, like iphones and facepage.
Crap. Didn't think about the Sim cards, are they the same size? I'm swapping with someone else.

One X has a micro sim, I believe the note has a regular one but not completely sure.

Yep. Just called AT&T. However we can call in and have the sim cards reassigned so no big deal. Either that or buy a new one for $25. Obviously the first option is much better.

Just cut your sim card to the right size of a micro sim. I've done that before and it worked fine.
I've also come from a Note before this and am very happy with the switch to the HOX. It sucks your on 2.20 tho. It doesn't look like there's gonna be a root for it anytime soon and even if there is you may not be able to unlock the bootloader. I suggest trying to find a HOX with a lower fw. I actually have one that I'm trying to sell.
Sim cards are free... I went in and got a micro sim from att and then when I got home (phone was waiting on my doorstep), put the sim in, called 611, and activated it! Easy peasy.

I used to work for at&t. If you call Customer Care, they always say SIM cards are $25. If you go into a corporate-owned store, they are always free.

I was actually thinking of trading my HOX for a note just for development reasons. Not sure though. Its going to be hard for future devs to start on the HOX because there is no updated root method. Sucks.

Even tho that may be true, if I were you, I wouldn't switch. I think the roms are better here. There was always noticable lag with the snapdragon s3 when I had the Note. Also, the community wasn't pleasant at all. You think there's flaming in the hox community? Wait until you get a Note. Although, things could have changed. I haven't had the Note since May. Just wait and grab the Note 2.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I wonder what my HOX will be worth once the note 2 rolls out. I don't think it can get much worse than the recent price drop. I'll probably just give this to my mom on some stable sense rom she hates her iPhone for some reason good advice sir!
So far so good except I can't get swype or amazon app store functioning. Foot whatever reason I can't sign in to either...

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.

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.
So I found a HTC One X from AT&T on the side of the road the other day, surprisingly in great condition. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted, have SuperCID, and have S-OFF. I was wondering if anyone here knew if it is possible to change this phone over in order to use on the Virgin Mobile network?

Nope, Virgin uses Sprint network CDMA as opposed to GSM for ATT

When i lost my sensation I used Google play and maps combo to track it within 30'
If imei has been registered with Google it can be easily tracked even without a aim card as long as it gets WiFi signal. And the phone can easily be blacklisted as long as imei is known.
And on the point of using it on virgin mobile if they are at all like Verizon they will have a SIM but only for the 4g data. Like a sprint iPhone. Uses cmda for calls and the sim for data connection.

Finders keepers I assume. Lol when I left my hox at
the grocery store I was happy the person who found it was honest. They called my mom and told her it was found, I had it back an hour later. Worse part was I didn't realize I had even lost it yet

Karma. If you take someone's property without even trying to return it, you deserve to have your property stolen or destroyed without a word of complaint.
I tried to return the phone....the phone was locked and I was unable to retrieve any numbers from it. There was a missed call on the lockscreen and I called that number but it had been disconnected. I put an ad on craigslist for a "FOUND LOST PHONE", I got a few replies but they were all looking for a different brand of phone.I have found atleast half a dozen phones in the last year and returned everyone of them. It's not like I just picked up the phone and immediately done a factory reset so I could start using it.
