I've searched regarding these two Canadian Operators and found nothing. I've already processed and entered my SIM unlock code successfully, yet with my Wind Mobile SIM card inserted I currently see "No signal Limited Service" on the lock screen and cannot make any voice calls, send SMS nor data.
It seems I'm not the only one confused and too many on craigslist/kijiji making statements in ads that their bnib or used HTC One's from Telus Mobility or Bell Mobility (their networks co-mingled and exist across Canada; Telus owns networks in West, Bell in the East) claiming to work on Wind Mobility.
Wind Mobility uses the following networks: The WIND Mobile network uses a frequency called AWS, with bands 1700/2100.
Wind themselves do NOT support/have an LTE network as of yet.
HTC One Official Specifications:
3G - UMTS/ HSPA:
Canada/ Latin America: 850/1900/2100 MHz up to HSDPA 42 Mbps
T-Mobile (US): 850/ AWS/1900/2100 MHz with HSDPA up to 42 Mbps
^ Am I mis-understanding that a) AWS = 1700Mhz being equal in the "Canada/Latin America" and that b) 2100Mhz is AWS? Prior to these smaller entrants, 2100Mhz was only used by Rogers Wireless, but I figure 2100Mhz is AWS??
Basically I'm praying that my Bell Mobility HTC One can be somehow (and easily) flashed to support the "1700Mhz AWS and 2100Mhz AWS" network bands that I require to use my phone line on Wind Mobile. Is this possible?
Anyone ????

I've just bought a AT&T HD7S off ebay from a US seller and I'm in the UK. It's not until just now that I considered how it might perform in the UK. I see that the AT&T HD7S lists HSDPA: 850/1900 MHz as its 3g frequencies, while the UK HD7 lists HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz. Does this mean I won't be able to get 3g signal on UK networks? Does anybody have experience using a AT&T HD7S in the UK?
The HTC Help & How To page lists the following:
What bands does my device support?
GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
HSDPA/UMTS: 850/1900/1700(AWS)/1900/2100 MHz
But the Tech Specs page shows this:
UMTS: 1900/850
GSM/GPRS/AT&T: 850/900/1800/1900MHz
So I wonder if the phone actually supports 2100 MHz
And if so, since O2 HSDPA/3G in the UK runs on 900/2100 does this mean that the phone will still get 3G on 2100 MHz, but won't benefit from the 900 MHz band which enables coverage in harder to reach locations.
Secondly, should I only flash AT&T Radios on to this phone or can I flash the Europe modem found here forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_HD7/Radios ? Might doing so enable the 2100 MHz band which isn't used by AT&T ?

I got mine off ebay too (HD7S AT&T), did u manage to get the 3G working ? Please help me. Have you flashed the Euro radio ?
NO
UMTS: 1900/850
GSM/GPRS/AT&T: 850/900/1800/1900MHz
These are the correct specs.... because there's no 2100MHz band for GSM, the 2100MHz is used by CDMA networks.
Hi, I got a new HD7 which is unlocked version from italy, now I'm in US using ATT, but it doesn't has 3G connection, only edge connection which is a big "E" sign.
I checked the italy HTC site that the frequecy is following:
HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
and for ATT HD7S, frequency is :
UMTS 1900/850
GSM/GPRS/AT&T 850/900/1800/1900MHz
So how can I get 3G on ATT?
is it possible to flash ATT's rom on my phone to enable 3G in US?
or it is hardware limitation?
Thanks in advanced.
No, it is not possible to enable 3g on your phone.
3G is HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz in Europe and UMTS 1900/850 in the US.
So you you have device for europe only.
T-Mobile uses 1700mhz for 3G, which AT&T doesn't support.

So I am on the Bell Network in Canada and my question really boils down to how many bands does a phone need to connect to a network. I can buy the unlocked EU variant and it has LTE 800/1800/2600 while bell uses 1700/2100/2600. Since both have 2600MHz can I get LTE conectivity on Bell from the international Variant?
When a network operator says it supports band
800/1800/2600
it only means they have cell towers that can emit those frequency bands. Depending on the network operator infrastructure. If you only have 2600 band supported it could either mean you'll get LTE coverage anywhere or it could also mean only a number of cell towers can support it which would mean you'll get LTE on some areas and other areas won't.
Hello! I want to buy a HTC One from ebay and use it in Europe. Until now, when I bought from US, I chose either unlocked or from AT&T. Now, I'm not sure if there are any differences between US HTC One models. So, can anybody tell me if the One from Sprint would work in Europe? Ok. I've found out that the 2G bands would work after unlocking, but what about 3G and 4G? Thanks!
Check with your carrier and then compare the specs between the US and EU Ones to see which bands match up. I know in my case that Three UK would work for 3G using a DE One as Three use the 2100MHz band

Phonearena shows that 2G and 3G are the same for all models, but for 4G it shows this:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600
LTE 1800 / 2600
LTE 1900 - for Sprint
LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 - for AT&T
LTE 700 / 1700 / 2100 - for T-Mobile
What does this mean? Does this mean that ALL HTC One phones have LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600? Why the next line says only LTE 1800 / 2600? Also, for example Sprint have LTE 1900, but also the other ones from above? I hope you can tell me this. Thank you!
PS: I need 800/900/1800/2600.
What SIM card are you putting going to use, e.g. from what carrier (Vodafone??)? Then compare their 2/3/4G bands and then check the specs for the different Ones available and see which is best for you (which is what I said before - it's not hard to understand)

Maybe my english was not so good, but I'm not so stupid as you think. I know that I must compare their bands, but I don't know what are the specs for those phones. This is the reason why I wrote what gsmarena says about this phone. I think you didn't really read my previous post. I didn't find anywhere what are the bands for those models. I cannot explain better than in previous post.
OK, this is taken from HTCs website:
3G - UMTS/ HSPA:
Europe/ Middle East/ Africa: 900/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps <--- This is the EU handset, 801n (m7_ul)
Asia: 850/900/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps <--- This is the Asian handset, 801s (m7_ul) (probably)
Canada/ Latin America: 850/1900/2100 MHz up to HSPA+ 42 Mbps <--- This is the North American GSM handset, 801n (m7_wlj or m7_wlv)
T-Mobile (US): 850/ AWS/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps <--- This is the T- Mobile handset, 801n (m7_wlj or m7_wlv)
AT&T: 850/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 21 Mbps <--- This is the AT&T handset, 801n (m7_wlj or m7_wlv))
Sprint: 1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 14.4 Mbps <--- This is the Sprint handset, 801c (m7_wls)
So, you check what 3G band you network uses and see which phones support it

Helloknow of any one rom for htc sprint m7 801c work with all these bands 2G Network GSM 850/900/1800/1900
3G Network HSDPA 850/900/1900/2100
4G Network LTE 800/1800/2600
LTE 1800/2600 just bought one and I'm crazy for making it work in Spain. thank you very much.

Here is a datasheet on the Sprint HTC One. The operating bands are not rom dependent, it is the built in radio hardware. Check the datasheet if the bands you need are supported then it will work with any rom.
Hi everyone !
I came here because I'm about to buy an HTC One 801N Red (which I suppose is imported from the UK) but I'am unsure of its compatibility with Canadia carriers, in particular mine (Fido).
Fido's network uses 850/1900 Mhz for GSM, UMTS, HSPA & HSPA+ and 2100/2600 Mhz for LTE. The phone is advertised on Amazon as supporting 850/900/2100 Mhz for 2G & 3G HSDPA and 800/1800/2600 Mhz for 4G LTE.
Does supporting only one band for each service (850 for 2G/3G and 2600 for LTE) enough? Will it causes problem with using the data network?
Thank you!
check out this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223236
sent from my s-off 801n M7_UL
So, from this post, I understand it seems to be compatible. My question was about how many bands it needs to support in order to work effectively. Is one band enough, or should it support both (850/1900) in order to work best?
Thank you anyway.
It depends on your carrier's network coverage. They may have predominantly 850mhz with 1900mhz towers in remote/legacy areas, or the other way around, or a mix.
So you could be buying a phone that works everywhere you go, or not at all.
