Hello every one my name is Mike S.
I am the owner of a site called PremiumReview, i do reviews on Android base phones and other little things.
I'm looking to get a new Android phone I REALLY want the HTC Desire. But a few things its only available at telus and im on rogers(that's easy solvable, get it unlocked).
the biggest problem i am having is the telus does not have a EDGE/GSM network and only a CDMA/GSM. So I can load the phone up fine it will connect to rogers 3G network but if i get out of coverage of rogers 3G it loses all signal because the telus ROM on the phone doesn't know to look for EDGE only CDMA(that rogers doesnt have). So my questions is
1)how can I make the phone see Rogers EDGE network? and I would like to keep the HTC Sence UI
2)Dose any one have a modified ROM that they could send me / that could possiably unlock it to possiably a paypal cash reward. Expacly if it unlocks it to
I just bought a HTC desire (telus brand) to use on the att network. Will I have the same problem?
I am now in Germany and I bought myseld a Sensation yesterday.
It is: Sim Free , Without contract but with only Vodafone branding (same as many of you )
Since I inserted my simcard into the Sensation, I did NOT see a single bar of 3G/HSDPA yet !!!
However I use the same card on my Incredible S, and I get full bar 3G/HSDPA almost everywhere, then I insert the car into my Sensation absolutely no 3G/HSPDA and therefore I can not read my e-mails, my weather won`t update etc etc.
Could this be because I am roaming at the moment ? Anybody have similar issues, this is for sure Phone related as the same simcard works on my Inc S perfectly well.
I am suspecting the firmware of Vodafone has a BUG on 3G/HSDPA when roaming !!! any of you get 3G when roaming on your Sensation ?
Had the same type of problem and resolve it creating a new apn in settings. My operator wasn't recognise fine by the phone (gsm ok but no data) : virgin mobile France (virtual operator from Orange France).
For apn data you can probably found it on your operator website.
Don't know if this is really your problem but just in case ...

Bravo !!
You are clever, because this is a brand new phone and I bought it while i was abroad (roaming) my new sensation did not get the apn setting from my provider automatically. So once manually activating it , it works like a charm. Thank you.
Now all i need is S-OFF the sensation
@ ikhzter just saw your post too
I'd be willing to try this. Would either of you happen to know how to add a new APN? And also, what settings should I put in for T-Mobile US? I can only get Edge speeds, too. I have tried everything else it seems, so this couldn't hurt lol

I think it's not possible because EU Sensation doesn't have AWS band. At least GSMArena says so. I heard people saying EU Sensation also has AWS band so I'm not really sure.

Check your mode, if u are in GSM its normal, use GSM/WDCA Mode... If don't work create new APN

I would like to know if there is a way to enable HTC Locations on t-mobile sensation from US. I know that there is no maps for US but i am not using the phone there. Please lets find out. I checked every where but i can't find a clear answer. Is it possible to be done without rooting the phone?
As most of our countries are progressing in connection speeds - and for instance in Sweden, where I am - most New phones come with Free 4G instead of the former 3G.
As we know Sensation works w 4G in the US T-Mobile Network - but Is There the possibility to somehow use 4G in Europe and anywhere else w our Sensation? As far as I figure - it's only a question of radio + possibly kernel? Am I right or are there other issues w that idea? - if I'm right - then can we not patch /port stuff like this from newer devices somehow? - don't flog Me if this has been discussed previously - i tried searching but came up with nothing! Thanks for any info available on this - and happy holidays folks!

As far as I know our Sensations are capable of using 4G in every part of the world, of course if your network provides it. You don't have to change anything

Sensation doesnt have 4G technology (neither LTE nor WiMax) ..the T-Mobile US 4G is just a marketing of their speeds which used to be good at that point of time (remember year and half ago ) ..
Sensation only supports HSPA (14.4 Mbps ) thats all ..which is still a 3G band
and to Get 4G first we need to have Hardware support ..which is obviously lacking
Hello, I purchased an HTC Sensation XE and found out that it is a UK version.
I am not able to get a GPS lock and I think it is because the US does not use the same GPS protocol as those satellites used in Europe.
Does anyone know if it is possible to root this phone and install new flash firmware to make it work or is there a hardware difference that will make this impossible?
