yes it is still working .just like nexus one.
It's good to know because I will get HTC Incredible S 2-3 months later. It's one of two phones I will purchase this year (the other will be LG G2x).
Except Vibrant 2 (SGS 2) comes to T-Mobile (root it and rock with "sub-$10 internet), I'd put it aside.

I think the pyramid is going to weigh a lot more. I had the G2 in my hands and it was way too heavy. The incredible S is just at my weight limit. Do you know of any lighter phones coming out soon?

In case anyone is interested. I've gotten around 4-5mb download and around 3mb upload speeds with T-Mobile in the US, which is the same speeds I get with my current phone, MyTouch 4G.
I was wondering if I would get the same speeds because one phone is 3g and the other 4g but you do get the same speed because the 3g phone is supporting 14.4mb downloads and 5.76mb uploads. So, one phone being 4g and the other 3g is not making any difference.

That's because 4g on T-mobile US is just a marketing term and the rest of the world still calls it 3g. So imported 3g phone from Europe = T-mobile US 4g.

me here highest speed is 4mb never over 4.2mb.
Anyone with Total Internet (and in a "4g" zone) tried this? I got a G2 recently with the free upgrade, but of course it's IMEI is blocked and I haven't updated the plan yet. So, the phone is sitting unused. If the S works with Total Internet, I'd prolly just ebay the G2 and pick one of these up.

Anyone have the exact model number for the HTC Incredible S that is working with T-Zones? I've seen a few online but some say they are not compatible with T-Mobile or US 3G. I just want to make sure I order the right phone is all. Just for further info, I have T-Mobile with the $5.99 plan which is still working with the Nexus One. Thanks again fellas.

S710E. I have that model and it works great on tmobile. reception is eh though.
Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it. Now I can buy it and feel somewhat comfortable. I know there are a couple different types and I didn't want to make a $500 mistake.
Seems like atrix hd has proper bands to do so.

Only if we can unlock it.
I didn't check the article, but I know AT&T uses the 1700mhz band for their LTE. Unless there is a modem we can flash similar to the Note or Skyrocket, you want get the fast connection on this phone. But I could be wrong.

I bought a used Vivid on craigslist and while it worked fine while being demo'ed, it seems to have been added to the lost and stolen IEMI list. With that said, is it possible to still use this phone on an at&t MNVO provider like straight talk, or is the only way to use it on t-mobile while only running on the edge bands?
As far as I know it is only blocked on the carrier it is sold on...so you should be good to use straight talk...you can use tmobile if you unlock your sim...but you would only get edge speeds...at least with straight talk I believe you get up to hspa+ speeds (this is atts fake 4g...it gets about 6mb up and 2mb down)

Uh. I don't know where you got that information. The mobile speedtest in my signature is on the HTC Vivid, on AT&T's LTE.
If you live in the correct market with good coverage, you can get up to 21mb.

He's talking about h+ is the fake 4g its actually about 3-1/2 g , LTE is a true 4g
And I've gotten up to 59mbs but avg. 28-35 and with h+ (4g ) not LTE as good as 4-6 avg. 3-4 mbs .
It is my understanding that straight talk does not support at&t's LTE, and instead will connect to the HSPA+ network.
With that said, it doesn't exist in my city to the best of my knowledge, so it seems to be a bit of a moot point.

If your city doesnt have hspa+ then you'll connect to 3g...if your city doesnt have 3g then 2g/edge
Straight talk doesnt just do hspa+, that's just the fastest they provide

Update on the IMEI block; from my understanding of it, it is a total block for all major (4) carriers, so no TMO option there. I work for one of them so I had to read up on it, but the mvnos out there didn't sign on, so you might have some luck. Some other good news, the block expires eventually, not solid on how long, but it will be lifted somewhere along the line.

Good advice.
As for my experience. I put a ST sim car in an IMEI blocked Vivid and it worked for a second then completely reprogrammed the card.
Thought it might have been just StraightTalk. Put an AT&T Sim in and it did the same thing, made it inoperable ... those few days were painful

I have the RAZR i (XT890) now unlocked for T-mobile and am trying to get my 4G to work
Is this possible?
I also got my wife the LG Optimus 4X HD and would like to do the same. I dont like having such powerful phones and no 4G
Er, no. Razr i is not 4G compatible as it says in the phone specs. It does work very well on 3g - way better than my previous HTC and Samsung phones.
Sent from my XT890 using xda premium
Remember that t-mobile has a tendency to label its 3g+ network as 4g so if you are getting real slow speeds chances are that you are on 2g. Though you still have the problem with the fact that most of t-mobiles 3g network is located on the 1700 AWS band that the razr i doesn't support.http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_razr_i_xt890-4998.php
Tmo is in the process of changing some of its 1700 3g into 1900 3g which your phone does support, but until then you are basically stuck on 2g. Mattlgroff or some other Razr buff probably can tell you more, since i live in sweden

Hi is I just Carrier(Sim) unlocked the phone with HTCunlocker.com for $35. First try they didn't find it in the database the they searched in 2013 and I got it unlocked. I can use it on T-Mobile 4G. Getting very fast speeds.

Not by default, but you should be able to request AT&T to unlock the device while on contract with them like you would with any other device, at which point you could get a micro sim from T-Mobile instead. You would likely need to pay an ETF to AT&T though, if you want to terminate your service with them after buying the phone, assuming you bought the phone on subsidy/contract.
Well I just called At&t and HTC they are both not able to unlock.

Did you purchase it off-contract? If not, they definitely can't unlock it for you. However, if they did, I'd call back in a few weeks. IIRC it takes a bit before they get unlock codes.
not unlockable at "first", haha.

This device is exclusive to AT&T for the first month of its life, later to be released to T-Mobile and Verizon I'd wager.
Until this exclusivity is up, the phone will remain carrier-unlockable.

Also hoping for clarification
Definitely wanting this phone but not trying to pay $80/mo. at AT&T when I can go prepaid at T-Mo. There's some confusing overlap between bands that I'm not entirely sure how to take apart. Here's from GSMarena's specs:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 - for AT&T
4G Network LTE 700 / 1700 / 2100
Is there a band-limited version specifically for AT&T? And does the lack of 1700/2100 in 3G networks on the First prevent that from working?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_USA#Radio_frequency_spectrum_chart
For those wondering - AT&T is selling this guy for $350 in store, no contract right now. If you bring in an older working smartphone (I have one or two lying around) they'll give you $100 off - so that's $250. Sign up for their cheapest talk-only plan, $25/mo, then cancel right away and take it on over to T-Mobile, you got yourself a nice $50-$60 plan, and according to the T-mo guy, LTE and everything. I'm about to pull the trigger this weekend.

I'm thinking of getting the First as a 2nd phone so that when my Nexus 4 is dead or charging I can use the First and just move my T-Mo SIM between them. My job requires i do a lot of phone time, I wish they had a better battery for the N4, I love it but it feels like a small battery.

I've read that that the 1700 and 2100 are needed for data to work. I've compared a lot of phones on phonescoop and all the T-Mobile phones have 17 & 21 frequencies.

Paired with their $30 100 minute /unlimited everything plan, this is looking to be a real solid setup.

When you say "it works fine," do you mean "I can make/receive calls/messages" or "I get 3G+ speeds, plus all the other stuff". ANY phone that takes a sim card will "work just fine" with T-mobile, but that's not the point of having a smartphone.
I'm guessing the only way to get "4G" is if you live in the refarmed areas.
