[Q] streak 7 & att 3g

on the tmo website it says
Band (Frequency):
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900
3G/4G: 850/AWS/1900/2100. would that mean i would get 3g if i get this on att?my area uses 850 as 3g i think.

yes, it should. Good luck getting it unlocked though.

This is what I got from them:
Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. Unfortunately, we are unable to process your request at this time. Per the manufacturer this device was designed to be used in conjunction with a T-Mobile SIM card only and therefore, a SIM Unlock code is not available. T-Mobile does have other handsets available for International Travel that can be unlocked to use on other networks. Please visit our website at www.T-mobile.com.
Thank You,

Well. I have a ATT 3g sim card for data, Now to find a way to get this DS7 unlocked. =D Then We will know for sure!

[Q] 64GB unlocked developers HTC One. I have questions..

Hi all,
I'm about 90% sure that I'm going to buy the 64gb dev. HTC One. I'm still on Sprint but I think I'm done with them as they have seriously lost my confidence.
I don't have any experience with an unlocked phone that require a sim card and I'm kind of intimidated by that but I want to learn and see what kind of experience I have with an unlocked phone. I don't know how the whole sim card thing works and how it relates to Tmobile or At&t services, radio frequencies, 4glte, hspa+ etc.
I'm thinking of buying 2. One (no pun intended) for me and one for the wife. I guess my question is how do I make the transition from Sprint to Tmobile as quickly as and painless as possible. How do i explain an unlocked phone to my wife who also never been on another carrier other than sprint? What plan should I consider on Tmobile and or At&t. Which carrier's network is faster (I'm in Central NJ).
I understand the dev version has an unlocked bootloader. Does this mean it comes installed with a recovery and is it s-off / s-on?
I'm not a geek but I know how to flash roms/ kernels...basic sh*t you know.
If anyone can school me on what to expect form an unlocked phone and what I can do with it would be great. Will I be able to use sim cards from both tmobile and at&t on this phone?
Any help would be appreciated...

IIRC the Dev unit does not work on Sprint so you'd need to switch regardless.
You'll just have to get a new account and have them port the numbers over but you just won't be buying a phone on contract.
Most think it will have S-ON, but bootloader unlocked. This just means you can load ROMs, but they are locked to the kernel from HTC (not just any kernel which would be nice if you had S-OFF).
Yes, you can use a SIM from ATT and T-MO but remember that with T-MO unless you live in a new LTE zone or a refarmed 1900mhz HSPA+ band, you will be stuck with 2G speed.

The SIM cards will be given to you by T-MO or ATT when you sign up.

no problem, glad I could help
just go to T-MO or ATT store and tell them you have your own phone and simply want x-plan (whatever it is you're looking for)
obviously T-MO is nice for pre-paid, no contract, but unless you live in a new 1900mhz zone (or LTE) and the phone could possibly be flashed with t-mo's firmware (possibly opening up 1700) then stick with ATT

I just checked the refarmed 1900mhz map and I'm real close to i guess two towers. There's a **** load of them a few miles from me, but none at my address. Do you think I'll be able to pick up on that 1900mhz signal?

Wow, just checked all the area's where I usually go, NY (family), CT (work) and the 1900mhz is excellent except for where I live which is scattered but not that far away.
By they way, I just purchased 2 HTC One's. One for me and one for the wife! However, there on back order until they get there next shipment which they say is on the 24th of April. I'll keep you posted.

How close? If you're decently close to two towers you should be fine. To port your number from Sprint you will need to check four things,
1: Your account number. (Dial *2 for Sprint customer service from your Sprint phone for that)
2: Your account pin. (6-10 numbers)
3: If you have any time left on your Sprint contract. Keep in mind you most likely signed a 24 month contract, but upgrades roll around every 20 months. So even if you're elegible for upgrade there may still a early term fee from Sprint.
4 Basic information such as the main account holders name, billing address, etc.
Keep in mind that at the moment the 32 and 64gb versions are out of stock from HTC (for now) If you start up a new account on T-Mobile with unlocked devices you will be on what's called Month to Month pricing. This means that since you provided your own equipment, you will be able to cancel at any time with no termination fee. You will also have upgrades avalible from the get go since you didn't purchase subsidised equipment from them.
Good luck!

Wow, this is great information. From what I can see on the coverage maps the coverage is excellent. I just purchased 2 HTC One phones. However, as you said there out of stock and I'm on back order. I talked to representative and they said there next shipment of phones are not coming until the 24th of this month. Also. are the dev phones gsm phones as well?

Fantastic! Yes, the Developer Edition is factory unlocked GSM There are two types of phone radios CDMA (Verizon, Sprint, Boost, etc) And GSM (At&t, T-Mobile, and basically every other international carrier) A locked phone is basically a phone configured to only accept a certain carriers network baseband. Unlocked is, well.. Unlocked! :laugh:

I'm so amped, can't wait!!!
Ok, the boot loader is unlocked but will i be able to achieve s-off on this bad boy. I have a EVO 4G LTE rooted s-off phone now but how does that work with unlocked phones? Also, you mentioned updates. Will they come straight from Google like they do on the nexus phone?

I don't think anyone has been able to get s-off this early, and if so it'd require access to a PC to use fastboot commands. Once more developers get their hands on one, it'll (hopefully) be a somewhat painless process. As far as updates go it will most likely be in the same boat as the carrier versions. One more reason having the a rooted dev version would be the bomb.com.

[Q] Local carrier FINALLY has 4G LTE but doesnt use sprint.

Hello everyone,
I want to to know exactly how I can implement this to my HTC one however what I've been told is that what ever Sprint devices they have sold will not able to work on this new upgrade.
I've been chatting back and fourth with an employee and he says it's a gsm based 4g LTE that's works on hspa or something that uses 1900mhz bandwidth. With that said will I be able to go ahead and convert to what my carrier uses?
Another note, I've successfully SIM unlocked but haven't had a SIM to try it out if it is unlocked, in doing the unlock will I be able to utilize this update to my carriers data speeds? All the employee said as of right now Sprint branded devices are not able to be used with the upgraded network and it uses a gsm based 4g that uses 1900mhz bands. Quite a few people are pissed about this but their normal users and do not know about root and everything associated with it, to include SIM unlocking.
Another thing the employee mentioned was they are now selling HTC one m7 and m8 that are able to utilize the network, he says they are "generic" and Verizon, what I'm thinking that they are just global versions of the device, so who ever got Sprint branded phones are screwed cause they can't upgrade to the new network.
I am hoping I can use this new found boost in data speeds locally!!

County? City? State? You provided no information here. Also from the sounds of it NO you can not convert your phone. The bands 4G uses are limited by the hardware in them, if you bought a SPRINT CDMA phone in a foreign county no one screwed anyone except you screwing yourself. You should have bought the global version directly from HTC.

Thanks.
I'm not in the states I'm located in Guam, I'm aware of the hardware limitations, but I'm wondering if the device will be able to pick up signal. I believe my carrier will be using hsdpa bands at 1900mhz and I'm under the impression that the Sprint use those
I am screwed as well as others that have gotten Sprint branded devices here, I feel for them but those people are normal users, that don't know rooting and what associated with it. I don't feel too bad about having this device at all, it's been working great, I was just waiting for my carrier to bring out something 3G data.
I was really banking on having it be able to get the upgraded speeds, and maybe help others who are on the same boat as me.
Thanks again!

Moto x XT-1058 On T-mobile

Hi guys i plan on buying a ATT Moto X XT-1058 and unlocking it and am wondering what kind of service i will get on tmobile. I saw that att has all the same 4g bands as the tmobile moto x but the tmobile has the 1700 3G band that the att model doesnt. Will i get LTE speeds on tmobile with the ATT Moto x

You should get LTE, but you won't get HSPA/HSPA+ unless you are in a "re-farmed area" using UTMS on 1900mhz.
Sounds like you have already done the research....so not really sure what you are asking...
You can see if you are in a re-farmed area by searching google for "t-mobile network optimization" - if you area is "optimized" you are in a refarmed area.
The big drawback is that *IF no T-mobile LTE is available, AND you aren't in a re-farmed area* you will only get 2G (EDGE) speeds. YUCK!

if T Mobile's website says that your area has completed network optimization then yes. You should be good for both LTE and HSPA+. Remember that HSPA is only a fallback for when LTE is unavailable... :good:

One thing to keep in mind is that if you buy the AT&T branded XT1058 it is the ONLY variant that cannot have the bootloader unlocked, which means you can't flash the T-Mobile ROM to get things like visual voicemail working as they should..
I actually ended up soft bricking one of my XT1058 because I tried to flash T-Mob version, am now waiting on official 4.4.4 FW to be released so I can get that fixed.
In retrospect, I'd have bought an XT1053 instead or a Rogers-branded XT1058 - i didn't do my research and hence got suckered into the lower prices of the ATT ones on eBay.. just my 2 cents..

Um....no.
In your original post, you said you intended to "unlock" it - I **THOUGHT** you meant "SIM-UNLOCK" it.
Not only is the AT&T Moto X **BOOTLOADER-LOCKED**, but it is also **SIM-LOCKED** at AT&T.
The ONLY way to use it on T-Mobile is to SIM-UNLOCK it - you do this by obtaining an unlock code from an online unlock code seller.
Now there is only ONE way to unlock the bootloader to be able to flash other ROMS. You have to pay $45 to the "China Middleman" to get a bootloader unlock code. He somehow has access do Motorola's database. He doesn't have all of the codes, so it might not be possible to BOOTLOADER-UNLOCK at all. There is no other way. Zero.
Considering that you are going to have to pay between $10 and $30 to get a SIM-UNLOCK code, **AND** another $45 to get a BOOTLOADER-UNLOCK code (assuming you want to be able to root and flash custom ROMS).....you might want to give up on this idea of using an AT&T Moto X, and instead, buy the actual T-MOBILE Moto X.
I really thought you already understood all of this. Your OP stating that you intended to unlock it to use it on T-Mobile gave me the impression that you KNEW it was sim-locked to AT&T.
Hope this answers all of your questions.

Straight Talk

Can i use straight talk on this phone? I am assuming I would need to use the Verizon SIM card (CDMA LTE) kit? I only ask because Straight Talk's website claims the phone is incompatible based on the IMEI #. I have the XT1254.

You could also use it on "AT&T" and "T-Mobile" Straight Talk. You would only get LTE bands 2 & 4 for both those carriers, but would also have access to HSPA bands.
The Droid Turbo is carrier unlocked. Many people use it on T-Mobile and AT&T.

Thanks for the reply that is how I understood it. I was just confused as to why Straight Talk was telling me it was incompatible. Perhapse they "know" I still owe Verizon one more payment on it.
Another question: I know you use ATT; do you know of a map that shows what bands ATT uses where for LTE?

I know LTE Discovery app captures location LTE bands, but I don't know if they have a public map the way Open Signal does.
Open Signal shows LTE availability for various carriers, but I don't they differentiate by which band.

Yes, you probably don't have a "clean" IMEI right now.
Once your contract is fulfilled, it will probably show OK.
