I have a GSM version of the HTC Touch Diamond, and it was apparantly working with all rogers and fido networks in canada. however when trying to test it with the Bell Network it doesnt find and connect? any recommendations? apparantly it has to do with the network bands? is there some way to flash my radio to take in the cdma radio instead of the gsm radio?

I have an unlocked mda, but i want to use the 3g network. Is there anything i can do to get it to work? Or just get a (at&t) phone?
Basically, there should be no problem if you are using a 3G network based on GSM baseband. However if the 3G network is not GSM based, you have no way to get it work unless using another phone.
Just bought a KAIS120. Will start with the preinstalled HTC rom. Do I need to update the radio for it to work, or work better, on the AT&T network? I wasn't sure if the AT&T radio was only for the KAIS110/KAIS100. Is there anything else I will need to do to get it on the network?
Thanks
You should be OK -- I've been running one with the stock ROM on the AT&T network for over a year now, and it works just fine, even on 3G data.
I have a question.If AT&T and T-Mobile both use 1900 for 3g then why can't we get 3g on att?
Tmo US & Att use diff bands for 3G access but same for 2G.You will need to buy a Rogers Dream to use 3G on Att. A Tmobile branded phone is unable to use 3G from another carrier.
att 3g
does it have to be a rogers or a basic unbranded will work
The rom and radio
How does changing the rom affect the radio?Does the rom determine the freq the cell accesses?
the rom effects nothing. the radio effects nothing. the hardware determines what frequencies can be used by the device.
the only way the rom effects anything is if the APNs arent set correctly, but thats a simple fix. however, you cant change the APNs or ANY software on the phone to allow a TMO G1 to use 3G on ATT. Cant happen. If you really want a G1 on ATT, buy a Rogers G1 off ebay.
I have an HD7 from T-Mobile supplied to me by my company for testing. I reside in Canada and would like to use this phone with my Bell Mobility account so I have successfully unlocked the HD7 based on the instructions provided to me from T-Mobile. I worked with Bell on getting the phone on the network and no matter what the technician did the phone always showed "No Service".
According to the Bell Website it says:
"Your device must be compatible - it must be HSPA (or UMTS) and 850 MHz and 1900 MHz compatible."
The T-Mobile specs shows the following:
"850 MHz;900 MHz;1800 MHz;1900 MHz;UMTS: Band I (2100);UMTS: Band IV (1700/2100)"
The odd thing I find is that Bell Mobility released the HTC HD7 as one of their products a couple of weeks ago. So why wouldn't this phone just work on their network? Currently using it with my T-Mobile SIM it roams on the Rogers network so I assume that clearly states that the phone whould work with a Rogers SIM card, useless for me.
Is there anyway to get this phone to work with the Bell network? Would a custom ROM help in this situation?
Thanks!
Huh. I would not expect "no service" I would expect that you get 2G service but definitely not 3G.
I have used my unlocked TMOUS HD7 abroad and got 2G service in places w/o 2100 UMTS (similar to your situation Canada).

you could try the above site to unlock your phone
they worked for me was on O2 uk and got unlock code within less then 10 mins..
It wont work, as bell doesnt have a 2G GSM network bell uses it old CDMA network for 2G service and EVDO Rev A, for 3G along side its newly released HSPA+ network which runs on the 850Mhz band. As such a Tmobile US HD7 wont work with Bell, it will work on Rogers on its 2G GSM network. For you to use any new devices on Bell's HSPA network they would have to be from the following Carriers Telstra(Australia), ATT(USA), Rogers(CAN), Telus(CAN). Note for Telus they will have to be newer HSPA+ devices.
However as a side note you can run your TMobile HD7 on the new carriers, such as Videotron, WIND Mobile, Moblicity. All three carries use advance wireless service (AWS) frequencies.
I have a HTC ONE that I used on cellcoms cdma network. I want to use that phone on net 10s gsm network. the phone is unlocked and i get service with the net 10 sim. everything works fine except the 2g data speeds. does this phone not have the radio for lte on a gsm network? Any help would be great!
Thanks, Bruce.
