[Q] Would the T-Mobile HTC One work on Wind Mobile in Canada?

If I scavenge around this site and Google hard enough, I can find this question asked a few times, but none have definitive answers. This is a phone that I'm extremely interested in purchasing, as the Sony XPeria Z and Samsung Galaxy S 4 don't have an appeal remotely close to that of the HTC One's. Wind Mobile is a hard carrier to find phones for it seems, but I'd really love to use this phone on my network. Since the international and LTE variant lack the AWS 3G band to support Wind, would the T-Mobile version be compatible? On T-Mobile's website, it states that the UMTS Band IV is 1700/2100, which should be compatible with Wind's 3G network. I would just like to confirm this is true? Normally, I don't like to start new threads to a simple natured question like this, but I'm pretty much desperate to confirm whether or not I can use this phone. That way I'll know whether or not to get excited, or just stick with my S3. Thanks, it's much appreciated.

Can anyone confirm this?

Was on wind in the past, yea it's hard to find devices for this carrier because it's strictly on AWS for its data and services.
The HTC One might work...but if I recall correctly you need 1700/1900/2100 frequencies for HSPA+ or something.
If it's anything like the original Galaxy Note, you may have to flash a radio or something to make it compatible with wind IF this phone is pentaband. If it isn't, f forget it because no amount of radio flashing will work if it the hardware doesn't support it.

I'm out of country right now, so once I'm back I will post it. By the way t-mobile uses the same bands as wind mobile, apart from having lte also. Other than that there's no differences...T-mobile one has 1700/2100/850/1900

t-mobile uses something like 1900 LTE since i think last year.. i didnt know they still use AWS/2100

Sorry if that wasn't clear, but the picture is actually linked to dropbox, if you follow it, you'll see that its a screenshot of my TMo HTC One working with the "WIND Home" carrier ID clearly visible.

Anyone know the Stock ROM/or RUU for WIND Mobile??

Sprint reception is awful

i just upgraded from the evo 3d 4g isnt available in my area im in Monterey county but i was exacting the same speeds that i was getting with the evo 3d but this is just ridiculous, maybe i got a faulty radios with this device because my evo 3d was never this slow or is there something with the setting i can change to make it better i was really amped up to get this phone but at this point i am disappointed and want to return it

Try updating the PRL and Profile.
I have the exact opposite experience coming from the Nexus S 4G. S4 seems to receive the 3G signal better, and I am very pleased with the LTE coverage so far. I am in Minneapolis, so YMMV...

Your local tower/site might be being upgraded to LTE. If so, you should expect some down time. My site literally went offline for a few days (100% roaming on Verizon) until they finished whatever upgrade they were doing. Got LTE about a week later. But as stated, your mileage may vary.

My S4 is the same speed on 3g as my Evo 4G LTE and as our S3. I used Speedtest to verify. I'd take the phone into a Sprint store and run Speedtest on it compared to their display model. Turn wireless off on both phones first, of course.

If you don't have upgraded towers, your service should remain the same. If not, I would suggest you get your new phone looked at since it's still under warranty.

I'm coming from a Nexus S 4G too and this phone has so much better reception, especially wifi. Don't really get LTE that often though, which is kind of disappointing because I actually had pretty good WiMAX coverage. But I know LTE coverage will only get better with time.

Signal != Data speed. If your signal is good but your data speed is slow, it's most likely that the sector is overloaded or the site is currently backhaul limited. It sounds like the site you connect to hasn't had Network Vision upgrades yet. Go familiarize yourself with Network Vision over at s4gru.com.

Call sprint before you return it. I had the same thing. I had great signal with my HTC Evo 3d and when I switched to the S4, I was dropping calls like crazy and with 1 bar or no signal. Found out that they were updating the towers and I also have 4g in my area now. Woot!

Your phone can't make something out of nothing. My service sucks with every phone I have had because of the service provider not the phone.

Yeah it took a week and they had to call me back, but finally got it

I might be in a re-farmed area, but so far I'm getting 4g, and LTE exactly the same as my tmobile iphone 5. Maybe it's already AWS unlocked? How do I tell?

I do want to confirm that I am getting AWS on my factory unlocked S4 Active with no mods. e, 3g, 4g, and LTE. I know this because on my hacked note 2 without the AWS mod i couldn't get all that.

Is that a slothtronaut? Cosmosloth? I didn't know NASA sent those things up.

I am only getting 3G on T-Mobile and I'm in a TMO 4G area that has not been re-farmed. I wonder how you are getting 4G??
Edit: I am not able to use the AT&T S4 guide to unlock frequencies as my device reboots when trying to enter the setup menu provided in the instructions.

Yes, I got the unlock code from them yesterday and the first thing I did was to pop my TMO sim in. Only 3G for me. So then I check my apn settings and configure it for fast.tmo but that doesn't even connect up, had to us EPC.tmo for the 3g to connect.
Did you have to mess with your APN settings?

It took about 3 minutes after putting the SIM in for it to auto configure. Then rebooted and data came online all bands. APN is epc.
Maybe you need a different SIM?

I'd have to second the notion that you might need a new SIM.

I've been taking screen shots. I've had every data possible. e, 3g, h+, 4g, and LTE. The ATT unlock code definately unlocks the AWS flag in the NVRAM.

When I got the code from AT&T it took less than 10mins and I don't even have AT&T. But now they got a new rule about giving unlock codes I had to call twice because the first person wouldn't give me the code but the second did.

[GUIDE] Sprint sim unlock & Flash

so the on in Q&A is getting full of nothing so time to start one with the guide
I don't take any credit just posting,,,All credit goes to hotaru2k3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4572661) and Rimidal (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1468774) for writing step by step and video
first off you need to be on stock sprint rom or base for this to work. also it will work on bad esn phones
1. You should be rooted
2. Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
3. Run Terminal Emulator
4. Type "su" (excluding quotation marks) and grant it superuser permission
5. Type "am start com.redbend.vdmc/com.htc.omadm.test.TestMainActivity" (excluding quotation marks)
6. You will get menu on your HTC
7. In that menu, select "API", then scroll down 'till almost end and select "simlock"
8. Reboot the phone and hopefully it would accept GSM SIM
9. Enter *#*#4636#*#* in your dialer
10.In the phone information section(the first one) set preferred network type to something that is GSM specific: "WCDMA Preferred", for example. The phone will switch to GSM mode
here's a video also if you get stuck

here's is the google play link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viper.simunlockhelperfree
here's a link to his thread, if you have any questions it's best to post there about the app
here's a link for ppl that want to flash there phone,here's a guide on how to flash sprint htc one http://www.cricketusers.com/cdma-htc-one/85426-how-flash-sprint-htc-one.html how to get spc code and how to connect to qpst

I will have a sprint htc one in a day or two to try this, but I haven't seen much mention of data. Is anyone picking up HSPA+ with the sprint htc one on gsm?

It really depends on area. Read below:

HTC One supports: GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz and WCDMA: 1900/2100 MHz (with HSDPA up to 14.4 Mbps)
which means that in areas where ATT uses 850mhz for HSPA(3g/4g) you will not get anything but edge/2g at best. And in areas where TMO uses AWS for 3g/4g... you will not get anything but edge/2g.
In areas where ATT has 3g/4g on 1900mhz you will be able to use it. And if TMO has 3g/4g on 1900mhz you will be able to use it.
ATT/TMO LTE will NOT work.

So I went to an ATT Store and picked up a free gophone sim card, I activated it successfully online, I have a phone number and added $10 to the account.
I followed all the steps to unlock, I also set it to WCDMA Prefered.
But I'm not picking up any bars.

Set it to GSM/WCDMA perferred

I don't see that as an option, but I did tried GSM only (didn't work), WCDMA only (didn't work), GSM Auto (PRL)(Didn't work), GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto (Didn't work)
If I choose any CDMA related ones, I get sprint signal, and I can call people, even though I have the AT&T sim card in.

TMobile sims seem to work better for some reason.
Make sure you have GSM Data checked in the network settings. Then you should be able to scan for networks.. see ATT listed.. click on ATT and it will try to register.

That is very weird... Mine clearly shows Verizon Wireless
Have you ever used a AT&T SIM (AT&T, Go Phone, Straight Talk, Aio Wireless, etc) in your phone?
Is there Verizon 4G/LTE in your area? If you install and try Network Signal Info does it show Verizon or AT&T and what type of signal?
Completely stock?

Weird... Try going to Settings->Tethering & Networks->Mobile Networks and make sure Global data roaming is off, System Select is LTE/CDMA, and Access Point Names is set to VZWINTERNET... If that doesn't work, I would take it in to the local Verizon store, this is not normal and could be an indication that your EFS partition is corrupted.

Guys he's using an att sim card on his Verizon G2. His question is about being able to connect to att lte on a Verizon phone.

AT&T in your area must have band 4 AWS lte just like Verizon has thus it works. I would try this if AT&T actually had lte in my area, but they do not yet, strictly a pcs carrier here, besides lte.

Yea I was a little weird looking at my phone and seeing the LTE and checking the speeds and getting about 3x faster then HSPA+.

How is yours even like that?
How did you get it to look like that? My Verizon g2 won't even show 3g or 4g. It only shows H. Did you flash your phone? If you didn't have 4g LTE, would it show an H?

Yes... H means HSPA(+) that's what you get when your on high speed (non-LTE) data on GSM. A VZW G2 will only get LTE on AT&T in about 13 markets in the US as that is the only places they have Band 4 LTE, I don't remember them all but Google can fetch a list of them pretty quick I'm sure.
