Fido Optimus 2X (AT&T 3G)

Fido in Canada just launched an 850/1900 Mhz version of the Optimus 2X today (http://www.fido.ca/web/page/portal/Fido/Smartphones?smartphone=android&skuid=P990BLKF).
Has anyone gotten one of these yet? If so, What kind of firmware is on it? Would one be able to flash ROMs from the development forum on this device or would the radio be a problem? Specifically, I'm wondering if CM 7 would work on this thing.
Thanks

I believe CM7 works on the South American P990H, which also sports 850/1900 3G. There is a thread in the marketplace with someone selling a P990H running CM7. I doubt there'd be a lot of difference between the two, if any.
I currently have a P990H en-route and am going to attempt this, so if you haven't heard anything beforehand I'll check back in here and let you know!

Thanks for the info. I'm going to try to get my hands in one soon if possible. If I do I'll provide an update here.

Think he was after 465 if you're interested. They're about the same on Negri also. I don't think there's any bloat on them either.

Any update on this.
Would ROM Optimus 2x works on Fido?
Planning to rewnew my contract on Fido to get the Optimus 2x.
But they offer me a crappy plan to stay with them.
might as well go to Bell and get the SGS2!!

[Q] king_3D_ROM_V1.6 looks like working on LG thrill

Just installed king rom from following O3D post and it looks like it is working, not yet fully tested though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200111
very fast, smooth, no issues making and receiving calls, mounting and un-mounting SD etc
testing wifi and data connections now.
followed sames instructions as stated in king rom
rooted, with cwk recovery from LG thrill thread and loaded king rom and WOW
but being a new bee, need some one experienced to certify this.
thx.

Yup. I don't see any reason Optimus 3D roms wouldn't work seeing as this IS an Optimus 3D. You should be able to run Waterbear too lmao.

What an awesome name for a ROM

Only reason those roms wouldnt function correctly is the radios really.

Why wouldn't the radios work? GSM. Apns may not be be set up optimally in those roms but the radios should work fine I think.

Well the radio's in Europe use different Bands although these phones are technically world phones so I do see your point now that you mention it. Hmm that brings up another idea than, I wonder if the kernel's are the same. Also wonder if the Camera Mod they have over there would work.

Huh? Most carriers in Europe use the same bands as AT&T. I'm sure the camera mod would work, but in its current form it causes a few bugs. Force closes at the end of video recording sometimes and resolutions below 720p do not work with that mod I think. Maybe I'll attempt to make a similar mod but without the bugginess.

Well according to AT&T themselves.
GSM networks in North and South America operate at frequencies of 850 or 1900 MHz, while most networks in other countries operate at frequencies of 900 or 1800 MHz. AT&T also offers phones that operate on 3G technology at 2100 MHz to roam in Japan and South Korea. AT&T recommends quad band phones/devices for most international travelers. Since these wireless devices operate on all four of the international GSM frequencies, you ensure the broadest international coverage available.
So no not quite the same bands. But again considering our phones are world phones it's kinda a mute point I think.

I have tried King 3d and the the power froyo 1.5 everythign seems to work except I only get 3g speeds. So i bet once the radio is pulled form the thrill we will be in business. I will try some others and let you guys know what I find.

Yes but pretty much all modern GSM phones are quad band and support those same four frequencies. Just look up the specs for some European Android phones. Most support 850 and 1900 except for the few AWS carrier phones.

If this is true then Mods should merge the Thrill and O3D forums.

What apn setup?

Also a few issues with Facebook, Can't Login, Market No Connection (Retry), and yes I am on wi-fi so not sure if that's the issue or not but I have another android device sitting here that has no issues with the market or facebook whatsoever so I know my network isn't down.
Edit: So I turned on Data and kept the device on Wi-Fi and now both seem to function fine. Strange considering I always leave data turned off because I am not on an unlimited data plan.

I'd love to, just lack money that's why I picked the cheapest Data plan when I signed up with AT&T.

There is some way to use an Original iPhone to do it as well as some sort of smart phone way from what I have read. Other than that no idea how it works.

Sounds like you need to add or replace APNs.

Incorrect!......
The International GALAXY NOTE N7000 DOES NOT SUPPORT T-MOBILE`s 3G bands. Just EDGE, Thats all you will get and nothing more. Only the AT&T Version can work with T-Mobile`s 3G speeds

Yea:/ It sucks they dont just make all the bands in them haha. With the AT&T note you get the BEST of both worlds haha

And one more question - is that issue related only with T-Mobile 3G? Will other providers 3G networks work with that GNote?

d4 not working on att

i would like to use my d4 on att but i always get the no signal bar. i am running olegfusion's stock gsm ICS rom on safesystem.
i dont know whats wrong with it. i have the settings set to gsm in the menu but i have also tried the global settings but none of them work. i called att earlier, thinking it was a problem on their end but they said everything should be working fine. ive also tried my friends att microsim card but still no service. any ideas?

as it was pointed in several threads, droid 4 doesn't work with gsm carriers of USA. My ROM is oriented to Abroad GSM

If your talking about the AWS bands then right now I don't think there's a method available at the moment. I'm sure it can be done, but I haven't found it yet.
