[Q] HTC E8 Dual Sim (Indian) and 4G in Europe/Belgium - HTC One E8

Hello,
I've an HTC E8 Dual Sim (from India) with software version 1.25.720.3. I would like a confirmation and some user experience that this phone works with European/Belgian LTE frequencies, especially 1800 - band 3
Indeed, according to my mobile network provider, the 4G is enabled on my simcard, but even if I'm supposed to be in a 4G covered area (and after restarting the phone), the mobile settings does not display the LTE/4G choices (I only see "Global mode", "CDMA Mode", "GSM/UMTS" choices).
Does anybody here can confirm he/she can use the same phone and access 4G/LTE with the same frequency used here in Europe?
Thanks in advance.

Yes it can
I face the opposite of your problem I have only 3G on my country but my phone support LTE so I will upload my TWRP backup of my rom to exchange it with TWRP backup of your rom if possible please confirm to start uploading [emoji4]

3G doesnt work in my htc touch pro
Hi,
I had the same problem in the beginning. The simple solution: I still had an "old" SIM card, which was not capable of 3G. A simple request to my provider, and he sent me a new one (same tel number, no contract change / renewal) at no cost.

thank u but my sim card is 3g , i tried it into blackberry and it shows 3g
maybe this will help
go to start > settings > phone
then click on BAND tab and make sure the network type is set to WCDMA and the second drop down box has AUTO selected.
and press ok.
The phone should now look for the 3G network. Make sure you rem that if you are not in 3G network, your phone wont auto shift to Edge network, you would have to go back to the top steps and select GSM instead of WCDMA.
Hope this helps. If this doesn't work I bel there's some prob in the hardware or sim or the damn network itself !!!
I have the same issue
I have the same problem and i've tried radio 1.14.25.35 for at&t and with the same version for the rilphone.dll. i did find out that the version of the phone i have may be an issue. Raph100 (under the battery) EU 07/09/08 REV.EU01 (bottom left corner) under battery cover. I tried enabling hsdpa and hsupa. no help. i am using Energy.RAPHAEL.23563.Sense2.5.GTX.Themed.Apr.24 ROM. and i max at 50 kbps.
i did find some references with the phone:

Probably bevause when it was released, 4G was prevalent in India.
I know, it has 3 bands of 4G, none currently used in India, so no way to use 4G in India.
should we not sue HTC India for selling a device with false pretense? When I called HTC, they said their devices are country specific. If so, why is HTC advertising it as a 4G device if it cannot be used even in India?

Thought so too, but their website clearly says 4G only available while roaming. So we'll have no ground. And the clearly mention which bands too. I don't remember where they advertised it as a 4G device too.

I have a 4g enabled Airtel sim (ported recently from vodafone) and it shows me only H or 3G.... I have switched the bands to GSM/WCDMA/.....LTEAUTO and restarted the phone also.... but speedtest.net shows 1.5mbps speed only...
Edit : I changed the band using *#*#4636#*#* and upon reboot the band returns to GSM/WCDMA/CDMA and EVDO (PRL)
Anyone know how to make it stick ??
Also, i am on locked bootloader, non rooted and 5.0.2

As far as I know, none of this will work until htc sends an update to enable 4G, like it did with the M8. It initially didn't support 4G, but an update was sent to enable it. That brought LTE under the options in network, whereas we have only 2G, 3G and CDMA. LTE should be there for LTE to work.
Also, from what I've heard via someone close, htc isn't considering the update, for them, E8 in India doesn't support 4G.

You need to find out what lte bands your carrier uses. And make sure they are comptible with the sprint varients lte bands.

If what I've read is correct, Sprint Note 5s have the same hardware and radio band capability as the international version. So a hack or something should be possible. But how or what is way beyond me.

unauthorized firmware was loaded. so now it gets FRP lock .
Now i want to flash its stock firmware via odin, so i can use it again./
- does flashing it to stock n920P firmware will unlock the device? or it will remian sim unlocked?
- where can i find stock firmware?
TIA

A9 3G not working.

Hello,
I have an HTC A9, 3/32 version. The problem is that the phone apparently is branded by HTC America and I am using it in Europe (the phone was bought from Europe). The 3G bands are different in US vs. Europe but here comes the tricky part: although the phone cannot connect to the 3G network, the carrier I use has only 3G and 4G coverage. All the calls are made using 3G (confirmed by the carrier) and while I am under 4G network I can use the phone without a problem. When only 3G network is available, the phone shows no connectivity at all.
When trying to manually select 3G only (WCDMA option as it appears in the settings) the phone is still showing 4G as connection.
Is this problem solvable through software change? Reset is not working.
Another curious thing, I did receive all the OTA updates. (last one about 2 weeks ago).
Phone CID is BS_US001 Developer Edition

U.S. carrier connectivity

Having received the S8 from Gearbest , and inserting a new Mintsim sim card I have been unable to get a data connection using the current MintSim APN settings. I am not a real phone teckie but I almost believe there are no options to make (via engineering mode) changes to get the phone compatible with U.S. carriers. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Not sure if updating the modem.img is an option. I don't see too many US carrier phones using the MTK6750T processor. I just get 2g edge on t-mobile. Not a bad phone if I could get 4g.

This phone supports bands
2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 900/2100MHz
4G: FDD-LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600MHz
AT&T vs T-Mobile (Mintsim)
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4988
https://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/wireless/KM1069631
There is a comment about the Doogee Mix 2 regarding support on the at&t link which shares the same bands.
I do not live in the USA so cant really comment too much about what does and does not work.
