[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??

Looking for app that shows me Band/Pairing #

I know Samsung devices have this and I believe iphones.. not sure.. I dont use iphones...
Unfortuneately, our devices doesnt show this or at least I can not get into this mode... Is there an app that can show us this...

Lte discovery might be what your lookin for it will show you band not sure about pairing though but still worth looking in to

Im pretty sure our phones dont show this info.. Ive been in there many times..
Can you show me a screen shot of yours with this info?

Sure, I dont have 4g network overhere

I must be blind.. but where does it show the Band and pairing BW?

If you refer to my post, my point was only that there's a little app that shows the Android service menu. The band is indicated (mine says HSPA - my contract doesn't allow LTE, so I can't say anything about that).

that app your referring to is the same menu as going into *#*#4636#*#*
also, HSPA, LTE, GSM, etc is not the band type, its a network type.. by Band type I mean LTE: Bands: 1/3/4/7/17/38/40, which is also another way to describe radio frequency
as you can see in the first pic of my first post, in the Samsung device, it shows Band 4
but my question was for mindblizzard,

I don't think the phone can show that information

I would assume to see if the band unlock mod works for other frequencies?
I will see if band 20 is unlocked in few weeks once i get my 4g/LTE data package.

That's all fine and dandy, but it's not like your carrier is operating multiple frequencies that you're likely to see ever. Maybe if you live in an incredibly dense population center, but even then... Perhaps I'm missing something.

Fair enough, if you have LTE already, and they are simply deploying a new frequency, you likely won't notice any change, to any of the service. Speeds don't increase between bands, the only reason a carrier deploys a new band, is to fight radio interference from other carriers. Given the cost of a single radio, carriers generally only deploy these new radios in VERY congested areas. Meaning, that in a city that has, say 15 towers, 2-3 of them would actually get the upgrade, in the area that suffers from the most interference. (You have to bear in mind, that a full tower build, requires 6 radios, each radio costing about $18,000 for the radio, another $1000 for the antenna, another $500-1500 for the power supply and cabling. They don't just "upgrade" an entire area, it takes too long to recoup costs)

Ah my mistake, i had in my head he meant to check for bands in the area which he can use with the 'unlocked' frequency mod..for some reason. My total mistake!
However what i meant with what i said when i get my 4g is that i can confirm that the unlock mod will enable band 20 since our OPO is restricted/doesnt support it by default. The band app would be good though!

LTE on D821 (India) with Airtel

Alright, so here's a little background.
I've bought my hammerhead in India. However, there were no "Airtel" bands to provide LTE for our phone.
I had performed compatibility checks and it confirmed that my phone was not supported.
I didn't bother much, cause I had WiFi everywhere.
Recently, we got a couple of jio Sims at my place.
Last night I popped in the Reliance Jio sim to check how the net works and well, it has free net, so decided to use it up.
I used it all merrily and was done with it for the day. Decided to pop back in my Airtel sim.
Here's the weird part.
I switch off my phone, pop in my Airtel SIM, boot it up.
To my surprise, I see LTE on my network bar.
I thought, may be my phone was not displaying the info properly, since I'm using a custom ROM.
I did a little digging and it was confirmed that my network had switched to LTE/4G.
I'm still not clear what happened here.
May be Jio activated any bands? Is there such a possibility?
If there's anyone out there who could probably give an idea as to what changed, it would be great
Please note that I'm using Airtel in "Karnataka".

Like Delhi NCR, airtel has launched FDD-LTE on band 3 in KA. Hence, the 4G support.
Even jio has multiband 4G, band 3 and band 40.

Oh.. since when? Was there something that I had to change? Cause I used jio just for few hours and then switched back to Airtel.. there must be some setting that changed that resulted in my Airtel giving me LTE as well.
That's what I'm more curious about. By the way.. thanks for the info.

A3010 (China Variant) Carrier Aggregation Issues

Hello there!
Long time lurker of XDA here - I'd love to enlist the expertise of all you guys here
Was terribly impressed when you guys figured out how to unlock bands and thought you guys might be able to help me (or rather everyone in my country using the A3010) out!
So in Singapore, our carriers use bands 3/7/8 (1800/2600/900 mhz). Unfortunately for us, Oneplus does not ship directly to Singapore so we often have to rely on third party parallel importers, and most of their stock is the A3010 one.
So the bands supported by the A3003 and A3010 models are below.

}
As we found on our local forums, the A3003 is somehow able to get carrier aggregation but not the A3010 and we're all quite puzzled as to why.
One of the theories is that the CA bands (which are not listed on the Oneplus website) are different between the two models.
Perhaps someone here might be able to help?

all singapore bands are supported by China Model,
you need to know what bands exactly are used by your carrier for CA,
and by saying CA is not working, what kind of method did u use to check it ? since not every ROM can show the difference between using CA or not,
yes, 4G+ is a clear indication that your phone use CA, but again, that's not always a case on every ROM
i would suggest u to run network signal guru while doing speedtest, and see whether your phone utilize the CA or not
in a normal situation, the phone usually wont use CA. It will only use it once there's significant data traffic,
example, the phone might not use CA just for pulling GCM push, but will use it on streaming session,
at least thats what happen in most of phones i used,
my A3000 can use CA with no problem, so does the Mi5, S7 edge, and even the economic Redmi Note 3 can do CA

also, each carrier might use different config for CA,
example, my carrier only use CA on band 40, and wont do so on band 5,
you can see my screenshots bellow, my area do not have strong band 40 signal, thus the phone wont be able to use CA, since it only connected to band 5,
but by locking my band to 40 ONLY, and forcing the phone to use it, the CA is easily triggered

Thanks for your input! As what I understand, everyone who commented were using OOS 3.5.4/3.5.3 so with regards to the ROM I think that was standardized..
For the benefit of everyone going to do the testing, which segment of network signal guru demonstrates the use of CA? The terminology on the app is slightly complex too

The first page will show you LTE details, next page (swipe left) will show you LTE CA Matrix, if your phone use CA it will show that it connect to at least 2 carrier(s)

Root the phone, Download Network Signal Guru, Open it, look at the top right, there's three dots menu button, tap it, and choose band locking,
disable all unnecessary or unwanted bands

Hope someone with the right knowledge can come around to advise how to make A3010 get 4G+....

Is your problem solved? I'm also having problem with mi5. No CA on band 3+7. Unfortunately Malaysian telco also using band 3 and 7 for CA.

Same problem here on A3010 Maxis Malaysia where it needs B3+B7 to do CA.
A fellow friend has opened a thread, OnePlus bughunters requested for logs but keep on saying issue was not seen through the logs.
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/4g-missing-in-a3010.495892/
Would be great if anyone can advise how to do CA on B3 + B7 in a way of unlocking if it is possible just like how unlocking other bands was performed

Exynos variant

Can anyone confirm the compatibility of the Exynos variant with T-mobile? Frequency check websites show 100% compatibility but looking for personal experience feedback. Also curious if B66 works as intended in the US.

I just noticed that the service is like just a little worse, you most likely wont notice a difference.

Anyone play around with the idea of loading the T-mobile S8 firmware onto the Exynos international version of the phone to see if that would be enough to get Wifi calling working? Wifi calling is essential to me since I work in a building with great wifi but no service.

You cannot install Snapdragon firmware on an Exynos based phone. This will lead to a brick. The only thing from a Snapdragon firmware you can install I believe is CSC but don't quote me on that.

I was also wondering if flashing the tmobile CSC to the 955F would enable wifi calling. The only LTE band that the Exynos variant doesn't have that T-mobile uses is 66 and from what I've been able to research that's not sued int he NYC area. But wifi calling is critical. I use it a lot to call back home when I travel abroad.

That is incorrect. The 950F does support band 66. I took this from service mode on my 950F

I received my phone yesterday. After a couple sites reporting it did support band 66, I dove in and was not disappointed.

Thanks but there's something weird about your screenshot. Band 32 is out of order and is not used on any Samsung phone. I think that should be 42. I find it hard to believe that there is a typo in the service menu.
I was using frequencycheck.com and willmydevicework.com as my sources. I agree that on this point I'm positive that the 950 and 955 should be the same.

Yeah it's strange and I do think it's a typo. But that's what service mode shows, regardless of which SIM I select.

With the exynos you'll also lose VoLTE. Meaning in areas where T-Mobile is using B12 LTE to extend the range of its network (B12 LTE 700mhz goes further than their EDGE and HSPA network (1700,1900,2100mhz) so if you're in an area and only have B12 LTE signal you won't be able to make or receive calls or texts. And in an emergency scenario if there was no other network for your phone to roam to, you also wouldn't be able to dial 911. Kinda an important feature imo.

I use the 930F on t-mobile and will likely do the same with the s8. If you care about rooting, you should get a 950f. It can be rooted easily and with root, you can get TKKG1994's CSC selection tool and use it to enable VOLTE/Wifi calling). If you aren't going to root, then the carrier phone is good.
I don't know how gigabit LTE is affected but I doubt in 2017 this is a game changer.
