[Q] Will HTC HD7 (T-Mobile) work in India for 3G?

Hello All,
I have brought an unlocked HTC HD7 (T-Mobile) from USA and according to the specs given at HTC US site, It says that it supports UMTS 2100 and AWS 1700/2100 band for 3G.
Can anyone confirm on having used HTC HD7 (T-Mobile) in India on Tata DoCoMo or BSNL network for 3G?
Thanks
Shaju

well, i already bought mine from us and i use it in Saudi Arabia with no problems at all with 3g, just to be sure contact your telecom company and ask them if it is supported or not.
regards

Theoretically, yes, it should work.
I'll be giving it a shot on Vodafone (in Mumbai) once they launch their 3G service, shortly, but if anyone else has confirmation, that'd be great to know.

Hello saud_19, what is 3g band used by your service provider? Is it UMTS 2100 or AWS 1700/2100?
Thanks,
Shaju

well Shaju, unfortunately i am not sure but i think it is 2100.

Hey Shaju,

Most likely you wont get much out of your HD7 cellphone in india..
you will be combarded with spam because thats where all the marketing place is ring ring and they spam you with advertice. Infact indian doesnt have the best coverage at all... its a poor country to beging with.
Its best you buy a phone that works in your town and that make sure it has coverage all over with your local provider.

First of all lemme tell you all, that HD7 works great in India, got hold of one in Nov last year and have been using it with impressive results.
There are some issues with the marketplace, but a workaround is available.
Secondly about India being poor, I guess this is not the forum to take offense, to what clearly is OFFENSIVE.
3g services are lagging, as its still in a nascent stage. I'm getting between decent to good speeds on Airtel 3g in Delhi
Cheers

Dumb-ass ignoramus comments.
A TMOUS HD7 will get 3G on 2100 band.

Great, this means I won't regret my impulse buy of a TMOUS HD7 last week.

It works too where I live, we a UMTS 2100 network. But speed sucks!! think it does not support hsdpa speeds on UMTS 2100 networks cuz mine cant get pass 35KB/s download speed

Developer edition band frequency

I'm looking to buy the developer edition from HTC, but i'm worried about the LTE bands since I would be moving between the US and Hong Kong.
Over here I'm using T-mobile, and if IIRC Hong Kong LTE are all 1800 / 2600
Will this version work in both countries?

I am in the same boat as you... I bought the dev edition and i travel between Seattle and HK a lot... As for LTE I guess I wont really care about that since I am just used to 3G anyways. other than that Because the bands for USA and HK for LTE are different you will have to choose between having LTE in one of the countries, you currently cant have both.
BUT if you travel between HK and EURO a lot you would better be off with the HK version since its the same LTE bands.
Just as a note i dont have my phone yet.. I had it shipped to my address in seattle then someone sent it to me here in HK should be here by friday and ill let you know if i have LTE but i highly doubt it haha.
this should help you out a bit http://xda7.androidrevolution.nl/db_mirror/ROMs/HTC_One/variants.png

May be, but none reported experience with xiaomi mi mix
Even possess a huawei p8 max and have quite different experiences with the German net made as described in network operators

I am using O2. I get H+ everywhere. LTE is impossible in the area of Essen. That's were I live.

EE, and BT work perfectly, Vodafone and O2 not so good, that's in the UK, so it sound's pretty similar to German networks.

Anyone using the mix with o2/eplus?`they should use B3/7/20 for LTE. So just in General is lte working on it in Germany?

No LTE 20 is not working, other LTE channels may work.Depending on where you are you will have limited LTE access or nil.

Oneplus 3T A3000 - US model in Europe

Hello,
I am an American going to study abroad in Prague over the next year. I currently have the North American model and was wondering if I needed to buy a new phone for the correct LTE bands, since I plan on traveling around Europe. I have used the site WillMyPhoneWork and found that 2 of the major 3 telecom providers, T-Mobile and Vodafone, support bands 1 (2100MHz) and 7 (2600MHz). However, I am missing band 20.
If anyone could help with the 2 questions I have, it would greatly help.
1) Should I expect reliable coverage, in the Czech Republic and other EU countries?
2) Am I able to lock my phone to a specific LTE/4G band, and would this solve my problem (or have downsides)?
Thanks for any responses.

As you have said, it depends on the country.
As long as other LTE bands are available you should be fine and also you can always use 3G.
As far as I know, you can't lock to a.specific band, but you can select to lock only on 3G bands, if that will be convenient for you.
Unleashed by ONEPLUS 3T rooted

You can also enable band 3 on the US model, I get 80% LTE with it here in EU.

Will K20 Pro work in NZ?

I'm a bit confused, they are going on about the 9t Pro coming out for Global market, but on Aliexpress there is a K20 Pro with 'Global Rom'.
If i was to buy one of these would it not work in New Zealand? I'm really keen on getting this phone but not sure what to buy.
According to this, it works perfectly with my provider 2Degrees

The K20 Pro does not have global network bands. Where it's sold with a global ROM, these are unofficial global ROMs, they do not and cannot add extra lte bands.
The Mi 9T, as well as coming with an official global ROM also had a few extra lte bands unlocked. The Mi 9T Pro will do the same, when it eventually arrives.
Looking at your carrier, it uses bands 3, 7 and 28 (maybe 40 too, but could have been a different NZ carrier). The K20 Pro is missing band 28.
Band 28 is a relatively low frequency band, these can travel further and penetrate obstacles better, before losing significant signal strength and quality. Quite often the low frequency bands are used in rural areas, where masts are spread widely, or major city centres that are very heavily built up.
NZ is a very sparsely populated country, so it's possible band 28 is heavily relied on outside of the town's and cities. But this is only my slightly educated guess. I would suggest doing some more homework on how much of the 2Degree network relies on band 28.
I imagine in and around towns and cities you'll have very little issues, but that's a small percent of the country.
Assuming the Mi 9T Pro will have the same bands as the Mi 9T, then it will come with band 28

It says that 2degrees doesn't use B28, only other carriers in NZ. So that would mean its safe to assume it would work?
Thanks

I checked on Wikipedia, however I was looking at the bands for Spark by mistake. 2Degrees uses 3, 8 and 28.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks?wprov=sfla1
Band 8 is on the K20 Pro and is also a low frequency band. So it could well be that it will work OK. However it is showing that band 8 was added to the 2Degrees network only last year, so might still be wise to see if you can find out how widespread band 8 is used on their network.
Edit:
A bit more reading. The 2Degree website FAQs confirms it uses the above 3 bands. Band 8 was previously used for their 2G network, but was freed up when they turned off 2G, which allowed them to use it for LTE. Maybe that will mean it's use is widespread.

I'm not sure about nz but it works perfectly fine here in Australia. The only band we use in Aus that it's missing is B20 which is very common. But fortunately if you're with Telstra in Aus they don't have any areas that only run on B20 so there's always something for me to connect to. I also live in a rural area.
So my advice is to check different areas all over nz to see what they support. I used a site called cellmapper to do this https://www.cellmapper.net

Not sure about NZ, but in Australia it works. I'm with ALDI mobile which I guess is Telstra.

I've gone ahead and purchased it as of an hour ago excited to get my hands on it, this makes me even more confident as your bands are the same pretty much. Can't wait!

Australia use band 28, not 20.

Global version and chinese version are using same 4G bands so there won't be any problems.
