Yes, EDGE is 2G.
ok will all the other phone features work?
Yea it should
2g with full internet pages is pretty slow though, takes forever to load anything, sending email and stuff like that should be fine but u can scratch watching youtube videos without waiting awhile
ok i have a samsung galaxy s at&t phone will the inspire work the same as the galaxy s?
also is the galaxy s at&t pnone on the same band as the htc inspire?
so would it be better if i used a iphone 4 unlocked with simple mobile?
als ocan you assist me in getting my htc inspire unlocked??????
hi,
please help if you can. i was thinking about getting htc inspire 4g from radio shack and would like to use simple mobile as my carrier. i understand that the phone has to be unlocked and GSM. my question is once it's unlocked do i need to change the access name point(apn) on the phone in order to use the internet?
thank you
anyone using Motorola Htc Inspire on Simple Moblile? any problem with internet ? do they "throttle" your usage?
Any AT&T phone on T-Mobile service will run on edge, doesn't matter which phone you use.

Yes you do have to change the apn but it tells you step by step on the website here: Simple Mobile Support .

I dont think they throttle it. i havent noticed any change.
OK i did this with the samsung captivate. I used titanium backup and uninstalled the TehterManager that AT&T puts on the phone to let them know if you paid for the service or not. It gave free wifi to my cousins phone.
Now I just bought the HTC Inspire 4G today and I rooted it and tried to delete the same TetherManager. I thought it was on all android devices but its not. So is there another way to disable the AT&T tether notice. I have downloaded the tethering app from the android wifi tether site, but i don't like it. I would have the built in wifi tether to work instead.
Thanks for any replies in advance.
Install a custom rom to use android built in tether app.
is there a rom that uses HTC sense.
I found a way. Follow the steps on this site. At the end restart your HTC Inspire 4G and your good to go.

Im fairly new to the phone game but i know a little bit. I traded my inspire to a Sensation, unlocked it myself. Everything worked finr except my Data i couldnt use the internet in any way. I called 611 (atts customer serv) and they said the connection was rejected. Luckily i was able to convince the guy i got it from to trade me back and give me the extra money i gave him for the trade. Was i just being a dumbass not knowing what to do or is this an issue. On the phone i went into the carrier and APN and it all seemed fine... Just curious because i would still like that phone but of course want my data connection Thanks
Also someone told me that unlocking/flashing phones will drop them down 2 data speeds (4G-2G/EDGE) Is this true?

Stop listening to ignorant people.
As for the problem you encountered, I believe you got the wrong Sensation. You need the Z710a for AT&T.
lianw is correct. Many of us are happily using the z710a on at&t.
Same guy as Smolt here for some reason it wouldnt let me log back in and after an hour of screwing with it and password retievals..... Well here i am... How do you tell the difference between the 2 Sensations? Did you have to call611 and give them the imei # to use data?
Ive got a post under my newly given moniker, if you find the time check it out. Any help is greatly appreciated and always thanked
So you traded the Sensation back to your original phone, so you no longer have a Sensation, and you still want to know why you were having problems?
People don't waste your time trying to figure out his issue, he doesn't have the phone anymore to try and fix it.

I wanted to know if theres a way to fix it because if there is which according to these guys there is. Id like to get another... And why are we so worried about what other people are doing?

Because not only are people wasting their time on answering your question, but you are also cluttering the forum...who knows, you may never get a sensation again or have the issue if you get the correct sensation and this thread them becomes trash.
unless the sensation supports the at&t 4g or 3g bands, you're limited to edge. that's what happened to me when i was using the inspire on t-mobile.
I think only bell or Virgin(from Canada) Sensation have 850 frequency, it is working fine on Rogers with 3g or HSPA after unlock(which i think it should work on at&t as they are using the same band). I hope this could help u a bit. T-mobile sensation doesn't work on at&t because it doesn't support 850.
I'm using the bell sensation z710a and get ATT 3g speeds with no issues.

I tried to download this but I got a message saying my carrier (at&t) doesn't support this app.
Is anyone able to use it on the AT&T One X or know of a similar app?
Or do I just have to download one of the available mods in the dev section?

Install MarketAccess. This app allows you to spoof other carrier markets. Spoofing T-Mobile 310260 should pretty much give you full market access.

That's weird. I just pulled it up on the Play Store and I have no problem. Has it compatible with all my devices (all AT&T).
You guys see where Verizon can no longer block tethering apps in the market?

No go for mine
I know this is an old thread but I'll try anything at this point. I've tried a bunch of stuff so far. I've downloaded a .apk that was supposed to remove ATT's block on the tethering which didn't work. I then tried to install CM10 which goes through all the install motions in TWRP and reboots. After reboot it sits on the CM logo forever never booting into CM10 so I had to restore it to stock. I've tried apps in the market and of course the Att lock blocks them as well. So I figured I'd try this one and it doesn't work on my HOX either.
All I can say is that ATT and/OR HTC have got this tethering thing all locked down this time. I had no problems installing CM or getting the hotspot unlocked on all my previous devices... Kinda regretting getting this HOX now. hotspot worked great on my Inspire and my HD2
I tried to install the FoxFi from the market but nothing showed up in the search results so I downloaded that market spoof which allowed FoxFI to showup..... Installed FoxFi and it activates the hotspot but when I try to connect with my Laptop it says it cant connect.
We are in a unique situation here and not really sure what to do to get my phone to act as a hotspot. Very Frustrating!
The Aluminum skin on our coach blocks most if not all campground wifi signals from coming in, yet my phone still has a good signal so I figured I could just use my phone as the device to get online while inside the coach. Can't sit outside at night, the skeeters will carry you off. Rains most of the day so it makes it very difficult to get online.
We've been with ATT for so long that the geico caveman is going to join ATT so we do not want to change our plan in anyway.. (We're grandfathered into a really old plan from like 7 years ago that is $40 a month...This new plan they want to sell us is $200 a month with the hotspot built in..... wowzers!
Any suggestions?

root your device, download sql editor lite and open, vendorsettings->settings.db and find entitlement check in that long list.. once you find it, change its value from 1 to 0.. now you can use tether..
I have really only used moto phones in the past so bear with me.
1) Will I be able to ROM the M8?
2) What is the difficulty in ROMing the phone compared to a Moto w/ safestrap?
3) Is there an app similar to moto hotspot or can HTC phones only tether? Can it be unlocked?
4) How will the 3 above questions compare / contrast to an S5?
Thanks!
-Justin
You can't ROM the M8 yet as the boot loader isn't unlocked.
Don't really understand #3 but there is a Verizon hotspot app. And by unlocked do you mean to use on other carriers?
Can't really answer #4 because the S5 isn't out yet

You can Rom the Moto Phones with locked bootloaders, just with ROMs that are derived from the factory one, no CM etc. So the M8 will be similar in this regard? On another forum someone was telling me the selling point over the S5 was that the bootloader will be unlocked. So I guess this probably requires a GPE phone then, and isn't much of a selling point for me since I cant use a GPE phone on verizon...
By unlocked I mean free hotspot, the moto phones come with a motorolla hotspot which is quite easy to hack / unlock for use (the hotspot does not work otherwise without paying for it).
Some people do have their hands on the S5, but I guess I can assume it would be locked down similar to the S4. Are Samsung phones locked down any differently than the HTC Phones or are all companies locking the bootloader on verizon phones now?
Thanks,
Justin.

1) Eventually
2) Since we can't ROM it yet, we don't know
3) There's a thread about getting the built in tethering to work, look
4) How the hell would we know? The S5 isn't even out yet.

Tethering is not the same as hotspot though... So is there a tethering app or a hotspot app?

Yes, there's a hotspot app. The hotspot app isn't anything unique to any given manufacturer. It's a part of the Android OS.
The question is, can you use it or not without paying. If you don't have unlimited data it shouldn't cost you anything. If you have unlimited data you have to pay as of right now. There isn't any hack to disable the Verizon check at this time. Won't be until we get access to the system partition.

Interesting, again coming from motorolla:
Teathering = single device can connect.
Wifi hotspot = multiple devices can connect.
But that's the way it has been in the past with my moto phones so please forgive me since I guess this has changed.

Is the hotspot app called Mobile hotspot?
On my motorolla with root I can use dSQLiteManager and flip a bit in the com.motorolla.android.providers.settings DB and enable the free hotspot. If I lose this ability with HTC M8 I guess I will have to look into another motorolla phone. Or at least I will have to hold off for now.
It's the same app as Moto has. It's an Android thing. And, yes, it's called Mobile Hotspot. All phones I've had up until now were Motos. It's the same thing.
However, like I said before, there is no hack for it yet. One of the first things I did when we got root was check for the entitlement check thing using sqlite and that entry isn't there anymore. From what I can find, it sounds like the newer Moto phones don't have it either. I did come across a hack for the M7 which involves editing an xml file but haven't tried it. My guess is you'd have to reboot to get it to take effect and given the way root works on this phone, the change wouldn't stick after you rebooted the phone.
USB tethering works fine though. However, if the hotspot is a must for you, you better wait or else plan on paying for it, at least for a while.

I mostly use it with my Android Nook HD+, so I don't think USB tether would work, but that's not worth $30 a month to simply use a larger screen. I would assume if there is no hack for the M7 their probably will not be for the M8 then. Thanks for everyones help.
There is one for the M7.

Well, that might or might not help. If the Nook can't see an adhoc network, it's no good in this case. I have a Xoom that wouldn't see one when it was stock. A lot of devices require infrastructure mode which the hotspot is. The Nook may or may not support adhoc. But like I said, some devices require it (infrastructure). I have a laptop that doesn't work with adhoc mode. So, it's not just related to mobile devices.
