Hey I was wondering if anyone knows if the Bell Atrix HD is compatable with AT&T's LTE?
I recently purchased 2 of them on Amazon and they are SIM unlocked and work on the network, but im not in an LTE area. Is the Bell Atrix HD the same as the AT&T one (spec wise)? Would I have any signal issues due to different radio versions, etc?
Thanks
I would guess that it's not compatible. In Canada, the equivalent to AT&T would be Rogers.

Yeah it should be since they use the same lte bands as rogers and at&t

Should be no issue at Bell, Telus and Rogers are the same frequencies as AT&T.
The main difference is no branding on the phone anywhere as well as the Bell one is $150.00 more (We got screwed on the price).
Bell LTE vs AT&T LTE
The LTE Bands are not the same (from Wikipedia):

I just bought an unlocked Bell AHD and I am on AT&T. I am in an area where there is LTE but I am not getting any LTE signal. But, this may be because my last phone did not have LTE, and I may not have an LTE data plan. I plan on going to AT&T today possibly to see if my data plan is LTE or not. I'll let you know.
I have gotten up to HSPA+ so far.

Okay so I just got back from the AT&T store and my unlocked Bell Motorola Atrix HD has working LTE. What you have to do is when you go to the store, they will want to add the IMEI of your phone to your account. This will not work properly, because it isn't an AT&T phone. So, basically you will have to let them know that it is an unlocked phone and you need LTE on it. What the guy that helped me ended up doing to get the phone to register on my account was he went get the IMEI for another AT&T Atrix HD and just changed the last number. This way, my account knew that I had an LTE phone, and the LTE data plan was activated. While they are doing this, you may have to reboot your phone. Also, you need to set up the APN settings for the phone. These are the ones I used:http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31135-att-apns-for-custom-roms/
Make sure all of them are in the phone, and select the LTE one. My advice is to not leave the store until LTE works (assuming you have LTE in your area).
I hope this helps.

Is it possible to get a T-mobile N1 to support the 3G Bands 850/1900 that the bell network supports? I know it is possible to flash different radios with android phones. I am still a fairly new user to android but i'am trying to learn and u can't learn with out asking questions
Thanks,
Ryan
You won't get 3G. You need the AT&T version for Telus/Bell/Rogers. You could try Wind or Mobilicity.
well that sucks, neither of those are in Nova Scotia where i am located
You could always try to look for someone to trade with, AT&T for Tmobile Nexus.
But it would probably be hard to do in person if there is no demand for it in Nova Scotia.
I don't know how safe it would be to trade by mail.
Any plans that Wind or Mobilicity will come to Nova Scotia? Just curious.
You could get it to work on Rogers GSM network but you won't get 3G, I could be wrong but I don't think Bell or Telus have GSM networks so you're out of luck there.
Oh yeah, there is that little snafu too. Even worse.
It will work on Rogers but you won't get 3G speeds.
It won't work at all on Bell/Telus.

So are you saying his Tmobile won't work on Bell/Telus at all?
But an AT&T will work fine on Telus, with 3G as well?
I am considering buying a nexus one for when I switch to telus next month.
Yes, the T-Mobile version will only work on Rogers/Fido with 2G only.
It will not work on Bell/Telus at all, ever.
It will only work on 3G on Wind Mobile and Mobilicity.
If you want full Rogers/Telus/Bell support, you need the AT&T version.

If you're a Canadian and you want a "Nexus One-like" experience on Bell/Telus/Rogers, and you're having trouble finding one with the right 3G bands...
Get an HTC Desire from Telus. Problem solved. If you don't like Sense UI you can flash it with all sorts of ROMs that will make it feel more like an N1, or you can put MIUI on it, or Cyanogen, etc...
Or according to mobile syrup(can't link) the nexus S will be on the big 3 in march
About 7 months ago one of my co-workers bought an unlocked Galaxy S (the international version), and he was able to add it to his AT&T account and get the unlimited "dumbphone" data plan for $15/mo. I guess AT&T didn't recognize the phone as a smartphone by the IMEI.
Can anyone confirm or deny whether or not this works with the unlocked Incredible S?
The specs of the Incredible S shows that it will work on AT&T's 2G (EDGE) network but as for 3G or 4G, it's a no go due to it's bands. The T-Mobile users should have fun with radio bands because it works on 2G and 3G for T-Mobile. Although, Bell is rumored to be getting the Incredible S which means after it's unlocked, it will work on AT&T's 2G and 3G network. They rumored to be released on April 4th, but that's all a rumor so far. We'll see

So, I'm using a P925 thrill AT&T branded which is UNLOCKED on T-mobile USA. But only getting 2G edge data speeds, and I'm being told no matter what I do, or what baseband I flash, I will never get anything other than edge on this device. My question is, is there a comparable device that DOES offer 3g/4g T-mobile USA compatibility?
I'm trying to migrate from unlocked iPhone's (again, using on T-mobile USA) to Android - simply because I'm bored of iPhone's... Have had them all except the 4S - but have a iPhone 4 so its pretty much the same thing. While I know the 3D of the Thrill is a little gimmicky, I think its one of the coolest "gimmicks" to hit in a long time, and because I only recently got a 3D TV -- well, recording 3D video's and watching them at home is pretty effin cool.
So, am I stuck with a T-mobile branded Galaxy device if I want 4G or 3G on T-mobile USA?
Any advice would be helpful, since I'm pretty much an Android Noob! THANKS!
If I remember correctly the optimus 3d might work with t-mobile usa. But you might have to double check just to make sure .
This is off topic, but how did you unlock your phone?
You should be able to use the 2100 UMTS band with T-Mobile, but I believe you need both the 1700 and 2100 bands for full 3G. If so, you need a baseband for either T-Mobile, Wind or another Canadian Carrier with T-Mo's 3G bands. The nice thing about this phone is it's flexibility of use with other networks by baseband flash. (Now we need other leaked GB basebands.... Ugh.)
If you want a non branded Android phone that works on Tmobile 3G/4G bands look at the Incredible S, Sensation (International Version), Sensation XE, Nexus Galaxy, the TELUS version of the Galaxy S II and the Nexus S.

So are there any basebands available that I can flash to my p925 to get t-mobile usa 3g/4g speed?

I took it to a store, and they unlocked it for me.

If I try to use a baseband for T-Mobile USA on my Thrill would that screw up my phone? If there is any posted can someone post the link here ? I tried to look for it and couldnt find it.

I am also looking for this baseband so I can get my LG Thrill 4G to work with 3G (or hopefully 4G) speeds on T-Mobile. Please share the love!
I'm only getting 2G speeds on T-Mobile (I am in the USA, San Francisco area).
So I have an moto x that is unlocked but branded to AT&T. I am only getting 2g. I talked to the rep at the store that said Cincinnati bell doesn't let unlocked phones get 4g???? This isn't my first unlocked phone I've had on Cincinnati bell and I was getting 4g on them. Only difference is normally I use a T-Mobile phone (unlocked). Is that the reason I'm not able to get 4g? Is it because the phone is at&t and not T-Mobile? I don't understand how I can get 4G on some but not others. Someone please help me out.

Not from Cinci, but I'm using an AT&T Moto X on T-Mo. I think, looking at Cinci Bell, their 4g network is only HSPA+, which the AT&T moto x does not support. They only work on the 4g LTE bands (For example the 3g antenna does not pick up T-mobile's 3g frequencies, so I can never have 3g).
So I'm about to go and meetup with someone to buy this phone, but I just realized there are a ton of different variants. I'm just finding out that her phone is locked to Rogers so it's probably the XT1058 that she has. My question is: Is there a way to get this phone and specific model to work on Wind Mobile (or Tmobile's 3g network)? The band for Wind Mobile is AWS 1700.

i thought that Roger's had something going on that the device is basically locked in to their network... someone else can chime in here.

personally i wouldnt mess with trying to switch carriers with the phone.
The Rogers phone can be carrier unlocked. I have one, it's unlocked and working on telus, lte and all.
But, better do some searching, cause I thought I read somewhere that it won't work on wind. Maybe I'm wrong, but better look into it or you may be disappointed.

It works fine on wind. Had to sim unlock it, but that was it

OP, based on the replies here, if you have yet to go through with the purchase, be sure to read up on the complications of unlocking the device for other carriers before making the decision that this phone is for you.

A Rogers XT1058 will not work on Wind, it does not support HSPA on the 1700/2100 Mhz frequency band.
To the OP, you need an XT1053 model of the Moto X to use it with Wind Mobile.
The XT1053 is not sold in Canada, it is sold in the US as the retail/tmobile/gsm dev edition.
Unlocking a Rogers XT1058 is easy and less then 10 bucks but it still won't enable the AWS bands for HSPA. It will only work on Telus, Koodo, Bell, Virgin, Rogers and Fido.
Yup ^^^
That's about what I read. And most unlocked phones I looked at before buying my Moto X said work on all carriers.. Except wind. Not just the Moto x either... The G2 was another for sure.
