hello my gf has a thrill we unlocked and i was wondering if it is possible if i can change the radio or something so that it can work on tmobile 4g or should i just git rid of the phone for a tmobile phone?
Just pop your T-Mobile sim in and go.You might have to change APN settings but that would be it.No wait just send me your phone Ill take it lol j/k it will work if your unlocked.

@OP,
if you are going to post an app in this section, it might help to post a link to the market app....
is this it?

This works for sure with the Vivid? I see only thunderbolts, bionics and droids reviews, I thought is only for Verizon users?
Edit: looks like a shortcut to *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer?

You can also get the juicedefender app and let it manage your radios when it sleeps and it uses your network location to determine when to turn your wifi on.
hello i have a question
im ordering a htc vivid. i currently have a htc inspire
when i recieve it can i just switch my inspire sim card and put it in the vivid and it will work while the vivid sim card would work in the inspire?
thanks
First of all what carrier are you with ? Any others, you are fine. (Vivid needs to be UNLOCK).
With ATT, you are better off getting a new SIM that is LTE ready (Regardless if your area has LTE signal or not) - In which will of course work on Inspire & Vivid - That's just my opinion - You can still use your old sim card if you decide to do nothing. You'll always get HSPA+ signal only.
Not to hate on the above post but you dont need a New sim I've been using the same sim since my inspire the only thing is you need to do is switch your plan to LTE that's the only thing that needs to be changed

Thanks for the replys
I have att.I'm not trying to switch plans or anything.I'm fine with my network and signals I have now I just want to know if after I'm done setting up the HTC vivid with the sim card that comes with it it will work when I switch sim cards

The LTE similar is fancy though. But no you don't need one unless your in an LTE city.
I dont think LTE cost more. Just easier to go over your data cap. I don't know. Though. I've been on the same contract for years and years. So long I get an upgrade every year.

Retail stores will give you one. Corporate stores will probably charge you. All they do is convert your current data plan to an equivalent plan that's coded LTE in their system. As far as i know this is what gives you access to the pta APN that allows you to use LTE
Couldn't you just go to APN settings and create an APN?
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using xda premium
I did the same thing (switched from Inspire to Vivid). You will need to make sure you do have an LTE approved SIM. It shouldn't cost you a dime to do. If your SIM is recent odds are you are fine.
I did have to call and have them check the settings on their side. I was not getting LTE and I live in an LTE area. So a 10min phone call fixed it.

If you have unlimited data and want to keep it you are going to need to upgrade to the lte sim.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1455702&page=1
If you aren't on unlimited then I don't think it will matter. You can run with the sim from your inspire.
Dear lord quit trying to confuse the op, the hspa sim and the LTE sim are the same if you got a new sim when you got your inspire which you pretty much had to , if you aren't in an LTE area don't worry about switching your plan , if you are you can make a two min phone call and they will provision your current data to LTE it doesn't matter if its unlimited or not you will still keep unlimited
....and boom goes the dynamite....

I got a htc vivid in today and i was wondering can i get data with no lte sim. Att told me i cant but im guessing they are doing that to try to make money. I am using my sim that came with my infuse 4g. IS there any apn settings i can do to get my data working?

Lol just posted in your sale thread about this...
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
You need to use legacy apns...don't remebef where they are but they are somewhere here on the vivid forums...
To get LTE you just need to call att, you don't need a new sim, they just need to switch you to LTE...you will keep the same plan and you will not be charged extra...you will need to provide the sim card number and the imei number to the att rep...
I called att and asked the same thing about LTE sim...so I went in to an att store to get a new one...turns out the infuse sim is the correct sim...they just got set you up to use LTE towers by calling them

And if the inspire has the same sim as the infuse you just need to call att...and they will give you LTE at no additional cost...
The problem isn't the sim...its just that they have you set up to use different types of apns...so a quick call and they will set you up with LTE...here's a picture of an LTE compatible sim...that is what was in the vivid when I got it and looks the same as the one that was in my infuse...
And since the inspire was called HTC inspire 4G just like the infuse was called Samsung infuse 4G...then I assume they have the same sim card...and if you don't have the right sim you can go to an att store and get an LTE compatible sim for free...they can also set you up to use LTE in a store...

Lol don't worry you keep your plan...I was worried too but I talked to att sales rep and they told me I wouldnt be charged and would stick with the same plan...but since I'm under 18 and didn't have my mom with me I just went home and called...
And now...I'm on LTE and wasn't charged and still on my same plan...
Here's what I did...choose option for billing/payments...then choose other billing/payment...then speak with sales rep...
Once I was on the line with sales rep they asked what they could help me with
I said "hi I would like to add LTE to a line"
Rep: "which line would you like"
Me: "555-555-5555"...excpet my actual number...
Rep: "so you want to add LTE to your infuse, correct?"
Me: "no, I recently purchased an HTC vivid"
Rep: "was this an upgrade?"
Me: "no, I bought it off contract"
Rep: "ok so you want to add LTE to your HTC vivid correct?"
Me: "yes"
Rep: "ok, I will need your imei and sim card #, are you currently using the HTC vivid?"
Me: "no, my sim number is xxxxxxxxxx, my imei is xxxxxxxxxx"
****waited while she applied changes to the system, asked if I was interested in u-verse and finally it was done...I hung up put sim and battery in the vivid...booted up and had LTE...I deleted my legacy apns prior to the call****
*****the conversation above is not exact...but that is what I remember of it...*****

I recently got my vivid and when I got it the lte wasn't working so I found what I needed to change the apn and I copied everything verbatim and now my mms isn't working. I made sure everything was correct and even deleted the apn and redid it but still my pictures get stuck in a continuous sending loop. Any help would be appreciated. Here are screenshots of my settings, maybe I missed something?
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
Just do this...
1) go to your local att store
2) ask for an LTE compatible sim (if you have one skip to 3)
3) ask them to enable LTE on your phone...no you won't be charged extra, no your plan won't be changed...everything will be the same except you now have LTE (this can also be done over the phone)
4) use the stock (PTA) apns
5) enjoy LTE and mms
Again...nothing above will cost you money (well...I guess there's gas) you will keep your plan...no hidden fees or extra charges or higher cost for phone bill...EVERYTHING THAT RELATES TO MONEY WILL STAY THE SAME

So you don't have lte then...your using hspa+ (which shows as 4g I believe) Its impossible to set up lte by your self...because att has to enable it for your number...you can set up mobile internet on your own but you can't set up lte on your own (unless you hack into att systems and change it your self )
Just call att and tell them to enable lte for you...then use stock apns and enjoy download speeds of over 20mb/s (assuming you have late where you live)

I have LTE and I got everything working. When I got the phone the apn was programmed only to run on the hspa+ to save battery life and so I just went and changed the apn and enabled the LTE again (i do have it where I live I get between 25mb/s to 38mb/s depending on time of day) but when I changed the apn my mms stopped working so I just decided to delete all the apn's on the phone and start over and now everything is working as it should. That also seemed to fix the random restarts cause I haven't had a single restart since I've done that though may just be coincidence

You will have to call Sprint International Services and tell them you are traveling overseas and if you meet certain requirements they will unlock it. If not you will just have to wait for somebody to find a fix if you want it unlocked.
To the 2 ppl that replied (and anyone out there) did you tried popping an att/tmobile Sim and see if it works? the m7 came unlocked no?

The M7 did not come unlocked. It was the same thing with that phone. You had to call to unlock it, internationally. It was them sim unlocked for all but you had to be rooted.
