Not sure if this is already known, but apparently the photon does support at&t 3G. So hopefully a dev will be able to rewrite the radio software to unlock US gsm carriers from being hidden. For proof read the back if the box. Also here is a pic of the box. It states GSM 850/900/1800/1900 UMTS 850/1900/2100.

Considering changing my inspire for the EVO 3d. Can anyone confirm it working in ATTs 3g bands.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
I assume 2g, gsm, will work because they use the same bands for that, 850 and 1900 but 3g, umts, they use different bands. Source
But don't take my word for it.

from what I can see the Euro version only has 900/1700/2100 MHz but Rogers is supposed to get it in Canada in August with 850/1900/2100 which is perfect for AT&T!

Sounds good. Will wait to see what Rogers gets. And get some hands on info. Played with a Sprint EVO 3d and was amazed really hope it supports ATT 3g bands.

Now I am not keeping as up to date as i should on all this new network technology, but I heard on the radio that Rogers is launching its LTE network in Toronto in a week or so.
Now will my carrier unlocked Atrix on the Rogers network be able to take advantage of this upgrade? Would I see an improvement in download speeds? Or will it be in a radio frequency completely unsupported by the Atrix?
Any info on this would be great. Thanks.
Unfortunately atrix lacks hardware to use lte

well that really sucks and thanks for the help
U can the evo pretty cheap now if u have one already they give great trade value towards upgrading as well. HTC makes great phones too

WCDMA != CDMA. WCDMA is 3G GSM. CDMA is well CDMA.

WCDMA is not the same as CDMA. Its basically the standard for GSM 3G, and while similar to CDMA, there are enough differences that they are incompatible. Even if it did work, you wouldn't be able to call or text anyone and as a GSM phone there's no ESN so the network wouldnt recognize it anyway.
Actually worth, thinking about it....if you can find the firmware for sprint for Motorola Atrix 4G w
Atrix --> *#*#4636#*#*, go into phone info and see Atrix support for WCDMA, GSM, CDMA and EvDo

There is no firmware as the HARDWARE does not support CDMA. The only thing you could get working with a firmware update that does not work is T-Mobile 3G since the qualcomm mdm6200 modem chip in our phone supports petaband WCDMA. Now finding firmware to do this has proven impossible for me since there are other things included in the firmware that are different between phones and there is no T-Mobile Motorola equivalent to the atrix.
To sum up. Inorder for firmware support you need HARDWARE supper also.

bottom line op, get the motorola photon.
Hi,
A quick question, would the HTC Droid DNA work on a GSM signal network such as O2 - UK? I just want to know if I would be able to send/recieve texts and calls. Also what internet speed would I get? would I get 2G/3G/HSPDA or none?
I have searched around and many sources say stuff about using it on ATT GSM network and when I live chatted with Verizon they said specifically CDMA network only.
Thank you
Taylor_Swift
Whoever you talked to is wrong about it being cdma only. It's a global phone, and as such has gsm bands and is SIM unlocked.
What bands does o2 use, that determine what data works.

Thanks. Ill hit the button. Phew my Droid DNA is in transit with USPS from the 3rd of May. Not sure how long that will take to UK
Take in account you talked about GSM bands so phone at least is going to work 2G. What about O2 UMTS band? This will determine whether or not your phone gonna work 3G.

I used mine on Three's network last month in London, It worked fine.
Yup. It worked
Thread Closed
Is there anyway to use T-Mobile 4g service on the Rezound once you have it globe?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
Inherently, no. Our bands we use is 700 (LTE), 1800/1900 (CDMA) and 1900/2100 (for GSM I think).
most GSM networks run 850 for LTE and another MHz band for HUSPA+ that our phone doesn't run.
In other words, without the possibility of screwing up your radio, right now, all you would get is edge.
