You don't. Our phones do not support an LTE network.
I was under the impression that the G2X had the (AWS) 4th band at 1700mh and at 1900mh.
If so why wouldn't it work?

Give it up - it does NOT have LTE. When this phone was built, T-Mobile didn't even have a clue how they were going to even IMPLEMENT LTE, let alone have any devices with support for it. Just because the same frequency is used, doesn't mean the same technology is used. The 4G in this phone is WCDMA which is totally different than LTE..
Man, why am I wasting my time.... go away and enjoy your 4G.
Guys, let's not be so harsh on OP.
To answer your question OP, the G2x does not have the hardware required to enable LTE. There is no LTE antenna, amplifier, nor chipset. The best we can get with the G2X is HSPA+ (4G). Hopefully this answers your question.
So just make sure that if they switch to LTE in your area before your contract is up....they give you a phone that works on it. Just sayin....

I'm pretty sure that they won't completely disable HSPA+ in the area if they brought on LTE.
I think, the only people left on the g2x forums are all jaded because of this phone. Don't feel to bad OP just understand that most of the people here have been waiting patiently for something good to happen with this phone for years.

I'm thinking about trading my t mobile s2 for the skyrocket. The reason I want to do this is because t mobile is going to be getting 4g lte, does anyone know if the skyrocket will work on the 4g lte since the skyrocket has the same bands as t mobiles lte?

I am about 80% certian
yeah ill pass, I'm not bricking my skyrocket. The sgs2 is exynos, while the skyrocket is snapdragon. im 100% certain.
So of I were to get the skyrocket and Odin it to tmobiles version,would it just disable the lte or keep it enabled

Tmobile LTE wont come out til late 2013. Maybe early 2014.
T-Mobile T989 is the same as the Skyrocket other than the fact that the Skyrocket has LTE, and a shifted orientation sensor, probably to accommodate the LTE.
They did a fair bit of research on this over on the T989 forums and the end result was it doesn't have an LTE modem.
Also, regarding original question, Skyrocket LTE modem probably won't work on T-Mobile LTE when it rolls out. Wrong frequencies.
It is my understanding that T-mobile has started to roll out the 1900 Mhz that At&t uses for 3G and was wondering if that would make this phone work on T-mobile's 3G or 4G network. Either way im buying the Htc Inspire again I had it back in june of 2011 but ended up going to verizon for a while and sold it. I really loved this phone and would deal with edge speeds if I have to.

I have a friend who is on att and wants an unlocked g2x I have. I put his card into my g2x and it makes calls and gets on the edge network
(the little E shows up). What I am wondering is, is the phone working at 3g speeds or 2g? He has an Iphone 3gs. Also is there any roms for the g2x that are more suited to run better on att? Any info would be helpful.
Thanks
Eddie

I believe the issue is your using a t mobile phone on att network. They both use GSM and CDMA But for the faster speeds the phone needs to be able to handle that networks technology. T mobile high speed is that HSPA+, not sure what att is or if they use it, if they don't, the phone won't run on their "whatever " highspeed. Make sense? Check out what att highspeed is.
I may be wrong.

I have 2 G2x's (Me & wife). Both through Straight Talk. One on T-Mobile & one on AT&T. From the research I've done & personal experience with the two phones, the fastest data speed you will be able to get with a G2x on AT&T is Edge. I plan on switching the AT&T over to T-Mobile shortly. At least the 4G is fast where I can find it.

Has anyone flashed a at&t modem to a Blaze 4g yet with success? I was wanting to try, to see how my speeds would be. I am on straight talk network and had a note :laugh: and was getting 24MB download speed now using the blaze and only getting 3MB download speed. If anyone has fixed this issue or flashed a att modem please help???
was the note from TMO or at&t. If it was at&t it may have an lte radio

The stock modem (either UVLB7 or UVLH5) already has support for both T-mobile (1700 MHz) and AT&T (1900 MHz) bands. I used ST sim cards from both T-mobile and AT&T, and I was getting 3g and 4g (well, really 3g+) speeds from them. The highest speed on ST AT&T sim was ~6 mbps, and on ST T-mo sim was a whooping 15 mbps. The bottom line is that there are no other radio firmwares to flash.

I just think its weird how i can get suck good speeds with an att phone and worse speeds using a tmobile phone but using the same sim card.
I need some ideas cuz in always stumped when it comes to choosing phones ima be starting a contract with T-Mobile I just need to know which are the top 5 T-Mobile phones in yalls opinion excluding the note 2 iPhone 5 and that blackberry one I don't have enough for those and I want something that's better then my amaze like a lot better and thanks

First of all, T-Mobile no longer has contracts. Secondly, this isn't the place for this question. This should be in the networking forum.
T-Mobile don't have contracts since when?

The HTC Amaze gets 4G on the 1700/2100 MHz bands, not 1900MHz. Sorry, but you might be out of luck with the OG, since it has no 1700MHz band built in. It only picks up 1900MHz for T-Mobile's 3G/4G, which may not be in your area.
Unless your area has been refarmed for the 1900MHz band, you're only going to see EDGE (2G) speeds at best. Then again, if you have T-Mobile LTE in your area, then it should work on that if you find someone who can unlock the modem for you.
There are so many "ifs" here, that you would have been better off not buying this phone to use on T-Mobile, unless you know for a fact that you have a refarmed network, or LTE service.
I think you misinterpreted the 1900MHz thing. That is not a nation-wide thing. It is only supported in some markets, not all. If you don't know for certain, then you probably don't have it. Your Amaze getting 4G means absolutely nothing, since it does not run on the 1900MHz band in the first place.

If you're sure of that, then you should be fine with the OG. If I recall correctly, there's a modem hack to enable T-Mobile LTE on it. That is dependent on your local area actually having LTE in the first place, though.
So if chattanooga has been refarmed and I'm 20 min from there I should be fine?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
Not necessarily. It depends entirely on the towers you connect to. If the towers in your area use 1700/2100MHz for HSPA+ connections, then your phone needs to support those bands. If the tower has been refarmed and is using 1900MHz for HSPA+, then you have your pick of pretty much every GSM phone on the planet. Call T-Mobile to find out, or get a hold of a Samsung S2 or better phone with the stock Touchwiz ROM. You can go into the diagnostics menu with *#197328640# in the dialer. There's a network frequency menu in there that will show you the bands you're connected to.
I just called them they said basically where ever I have 4g with my amaze I'll have 4g with any at&t phone so I'm saved

That's not true at all. The T-Mobile Amaze only gets 4G on AWS bands. It does not get the 1900MHz band at all, which is what AT&T phones get 3G/4G on. So, either your phone is an unbranded version, or the guy on the phone didn't know what he was talking about. It's not as cut and dry as they would have you believe.
My suggestion would be to make sure that if you buy a non T-Mobile phone, make sure you can return it if things don't go right. I hope that your area is a refarmed area, but unless a tech tells you straight up that the towers in your area are refarmedwith 100% certainty, make sure to cover your behind when buying a new device just in case.

Ok. Well the unbranded one does have 1900MHz built in. It's uncommon for anyone to have that one, since the Amaze ended up being a T-Mobile exclusive device. As far as the refarm goes, I'd still urge you to be cautious in making a purchase. Make sure you can test out the device for a short while within a return period, just in case.
