[Q] Using American HTC One in Europe - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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.

[Q] 3G capability of AT&T HD7S in UK

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.

HTC One have T-Mobile hspa+?

Does the HTC One have hspa+ on T-Mobile? It doesn't have the 1700 band. I live in an area that doesn't have LTE but has hspa+ and hasn't refarmed the 1900 band so I would be stuck on 2g in this case?
Yes, you would be stuck with edge (2g) until the reframed network is live. Purchase the device from T-Mobile, it will have the 1700 band

Yes, that's what I was asking. So the T-Mobile version of HTC One has the 1700 band and will work with hspa+? I can't find the specs for the t-mo version anywhere. I guess we'll know for sure when it actually comes out.

of course the tmobile version will have the 1700 band. why wouldnt they? they dont want people be on 2g speeds now...
You probably looked at the dev edition (which is a att version).
Problem with TMobile phone is the 32gb ;/
I would love to get my hands on 64gb HTC One but it doesn't have the hspa+ aka 1700 band
Now I have been told you might be able to flash a radio but it has yet to be confirmed whether this is really possible or not.
Sadly I will be force to buy a S4 because of this issue. Unless someone can confirm hspa+ radio can be flashed on Dev Edition

I really hope someone creates a mod to Enable the Tmobile AWS band on the Unlocked HTC One, similiar to what they did for the ATT Galaxy Note 2. These high end phones have the hardware to work on the the various gsm frequencies, but they come disabled. Someone was able to figure it out on the galaxy note 2, but I have been searching and I don't see anyone working on a similiar solution for the HTC One. I guess time will tell. I've ordered an unlocked HTC One, and will test to see if I get 4g LTE in Chicago which is listed as a 1900 refarmed area. The consensus seems to be that if i'm in an area that does not have 4g lte i'll be reduced to 2g Edge speeds. This my friends...would suck donkey balls.

Same here. I ordered the unlocked ONE. I live in Houston which is refarmed 1900 also with lte. Had I known my dam phone would be delayed again I would have just waited for the tmobile version.

Your last statement about 4G LTE and 2G Edge speeds isn't necessarily true. I live in LA and we don't have LTE for T-mobile yet, however T-mobile has refarmed many of their towers around here to use the 1900MHz band so that you can get HSPA+ on phones that don't have 1700MHz support (like many AT&T phones and unlocked phones, like the HTC One Developer Edition). I received my HTC One Developer Edition today and drove around a bit here. While my phone doesn't have 1700MHz support, the screen still showed "H" for HSPA+ everywhere I went, and I tested speeds as high as around 9000kbps download. So being able to get 1900MHz HSPA+ is not tied directly to if an area has LTE or not.

Dumb question i know.

I have quite a dumb question, but not all questions are dumb.
Where I'm from my carrier sells the HTC one sprint variant the silver/white color.
I'm wonder if I made a mistake buying the black version.
Main question and a little back ground, I bought an HTC thunderbolt a few years ago and I was bummed that I couldn't activate it with my carrier. I am afraid that I won't be able to activate my shiny new black HTC one.
I've asked my carrier what variant the sell, and they told me the sprint branded HTC one.
Do you think I'll have any issues with activation?
Does the black have the SAME exact radios/etc, I am hoping this will be as painless as possible.
Thanks for your time

Hmm..
Well ATM I have the first HTC dinc which is from Verizon which made me I can activate the thunderbolt I had purchase, they weren't able to do it.
Im hoping its just an easy set-up, but my carrier does in fact carry the phone.
So as long as specs line up I should be good to go?

[Q] (SOLVED )HTC One M8 HK version - changing UMTS band

I am having HTC One M8 HK edition, S-OFF from Sprint. I have unlocked the SIM few days back and GSM is working fine and I am accessing 2G mobile internet (EDGE) without any issue.
Now my problem is, I am not able to get 3G signal and even I tried in the manual network search mode with no luck. I bought this phone after checking its band support in gsmarena which shows Sprint M8 supports HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100. I know in US all UMTS networks have 1900 band and I am in India and here we have only UMTS 2100 band.
Now my questions are:
1. Though the phone supports UMTS 2100 band, I am not able to use it. Is it because Sprint firmware does not have allowed it because its not usable in US?
2. By flashing a different firmware (by changing Model ID) will I be able to access 3G?
3. Is there any way to get 3G on my M8? fed up of 2G speed on high speed mobile
Please help!!!!

No, actually I will be moving to US very soon. Hence, I will go for Sprint after that. But trying T-Mobile/AT&T is good option. I will try over the weekend and let you know. I know there are few who flashed AT&T firmwares for them 3G is working. But they reported few issues with the ROM. If you want to flash T-Mobile you need to flash T-Mobile firmware. For that you need to change the Model ID and of course your device should be S-OFF. Let you know once I try.
But its sad to miss official H/K tweaks as my mobile is HK edition

Thanks for the reply. I checked with other people who are using sprint phones in India and none of them support 3G and later came to know it is a band issue. I also checked with the HTC app which checks whether the phone is defective or not. Read somewhere if its defective HTC replaces with no cost. Here is the app if someone wants to check.

Cashreedhar said:
I am having HTC One M8 HK edition, S-OFF from Sprint. I have unlocked the SIM few days back and GSM is working fine and I am accessing 2G mobile internet (EDGE) without any issue.
Now my problem is, I am not able to get 3G signal and even I tried in the manual network search mode with no luck. I bought this phone after checking its band support in gsmarena which shows Sprint M8 supports HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100. I know in US all UMTS networks have 1900 band and I am in India and here we have only UMTS 2100 band.
Now my questions are:
1. Though the phone supports UMTS 2100 band, I am not able to use it. Is it because Sprint firmware does not have allowed it because its not usable in US?
2. By flashing a different firmware (by changing Model ID) will I be able to access 3G?
3. Is there any way to get 3G on my M8? fed up of 2G speed on high speed mobile
Please help!!!!

t-mobile version on at&t

I wanted to get the t-mobile version and use it on AT&T. Does anyone know if I will have trouble unlocking it or have any issues using it on AT&T network. I have unlimited data so I want to be able use hotspot option. Also, the box is hideous on AT&T.
My understanding is that all carriers got the same variant. Should have no issues, except maybe Wi-Fi calling being weird.
dont do it.
The tmobile and att use different brands so while it will work on the network the internet will be slower.
unless this has change but from what it has always been is the network brands where different and some people where not able to get 4g lte

I think they all have the same exact hardware. Someone on the Verizon forum took a Verizon phone and flashed the T-mobile firmware and it works perfectly. (I may have those carriers mixed up but you get the idea)

No no firmware is software base.
Im talking about network mhz Frequency.
If i remember right tmobile was 900mhz 1800mhz and 1900mhz
And att was 850mhz 1700 and 1900.
They used different bands for internet. So must people who switch couldnt get 4g internet.

I understand thank you. And what I am saying is I think they all have the same bands/hardware and just need a flash to unlock it all. Aka the pit file and bootloader.

Please read my previous post carefully and then click the link I provided. I am not arguing that the carriers use different bands.
Yea my bad didnt see the link you posted. But yea of the phonne has them build in just turn off that will work.
Before the phnes themself didnt have the bands
I have unlocked (SIM) my note 7 and it works great on AT&T. I tried a Sprint SIM and it wouldn't work. I even went to Sprint store and they tried to enter the IMEI in their system as a BYOD. Didn't work even after they tried adding it through their CS Techs on the phone. The T-Mobile version does not have the CDMA radios active. I haven't tried to flash it to Sprint to see if the Sprint ROM would enable the CDMA radio.

Awesome! How did you unlock it so soon? I thought t-mobile policy is to wait for 45 days
Can you flash non native ROM with locked bootloader? or is it just flashing modem ok?
So when the unlocked sm-n930u version is released, will we be able to flash that firmware on our phones? Allowing us to remove all the carrier bloatware that was installed.
