Hi
So I'm interested in buying the jetstream, but I have some questions, especially for people living outside the US.
I understand I will have to buy a code to undo the sim lock, and I will have to find a friend with a US social security number, and someone who can post the Jetstream onto me from the states.
My questions are:
I know that the UK does not have LTE yet, but will the jetstream work through 3g networks in the UK?
Will the warranty apply outside the US? How long is the warranty for?
Also, I know this has probably been asked before, but has anyone heard about a UK release?
Some more general questions:
Did anyone buy the gel case from AT&T? is it any good?
Do you have to add the pen to basket to get the reduction or does it come bundled?
Has anybody had any joy with writing recognition overlay apps?
Thanks a lot
Hi,
no problems using the HTC Jetstream outside of the US, i use it in the middle east over 3G networks.
get one to yourself, unlock it from AT&T to use any SIM and enjoy.
Mine came without the pen, i will get one for myself.
So far, its an amazing tablet, superb screen respond and amazing resultion of true colors.
got mine over ebay.

Hi Everyone,
I'm dying to get one and I've searched ebay inside out with no positive results so far. Could someone please provide me with some links on where this tablet can be purchased?
Thanks in advance

Do you have any idea what the status of the AT&T warranty is if the item is damaged outside the states?
cheers
works like a charm
Can confirm it works perfectly well once unlocked.....posting from Saudi on my jetstream right now and just last week all 3 networks here upgraded to provide 4G LTE I also bought the HTC gel case from AT&T it fits like a glove as it should as it is made by HTC and feels great, however it is very RED, but with nothing else out there right now so bit the bullet and purchased.
When I ordered online pen was automatically in basket.
In a recent interview with an HTC bigwig he stated the jetstream would not be introduced in Europe due to AT&T exclusive Plus lack of LTE services in Europe but HTC were working on other tablets for the region.

Hi, I tried to order it myself, but in AT&T webstore after step 1 they impose you a monthly plan before checkout.
Since I'm outside US I'd like it to come without SIM card, how did you do?
If I remove dataplan it doesn't allow me to proceed.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Guys,
I've had a search around and can't find an answer to this so far. I'm still looking though.
There is a seller offering the Atrix 4G in the UK. As far as I know, the bands are compatible for 2G and 3G. I don't expect 4G to work as the UK is only auctioning off the 4G spectrum next year.
I want to find out if the phone will update itself in the UK, OTA or WiFi, I'm not bothered which.
The seller has 50 of these to sell, all "unlocked and without carrier affiliations". Will this allow me to do things like sideloading .APK files that AT&T has blocked on their devices?
has anyone got any experience using an Atrix in the UK?
My other options for handsets are the Incredible S and the Optimus 2x, although I'm liking the huge battery and qHD display on the Atrix.
I'm selling a Nexus S if anyone is interested. It's on ebay, seller cfhuk. I'll waive the postage for XDA and MoDaCo members, and this has also been posted in the ebay section of the forum. Sorry if saying this here breaks the rules. I linked it in the ebay section.
Thanks all.
Chris.
It is compatible in the uk. I have a friend who uses it on vodafone. Works both 2g & 3g

Hey guys. After researching many possible smartphones in the market right now, I am going to go with my first smartphone ever and possibly the best one right now (in my opinion): the Samsung Galaxy S2.
However, I live in the U.S. in which I do not think the SIM-capable unnerfed galaxy S2 will ever be coming out here.
Anyhow, I was hoping people who have bought the unlocked version of the S2 would be able to help me. My questions are as follows:
1) Which online vendor is the best place to buy an unlocked version of the S2? I have been researching many possible sites for the past few months. It seems NewEgg.com, Amazon.com, and Expansys-usa.com are most mentioned contenders. The question then becomes… which one to buy from? Who to trust? Anyone have experience in this arena?
2) From several reviews online, it seems people worldwide have been getting unlocked S2s with different starting languages/manuals. Are they all the same? Are there any fundamental differences in hardware or settings? If so, which one is best? It seems there are different versions with various configurations, such as with/without NFC. Hmm...
3) My main carrier in the U.S. is AT&T. What would I need to do to experience compatibility with this network? I would like to get HSPA+ (~ 4G speeds as claimed by AT&T, so to speak). Is there a special SIM from AT&T or tweaking within the phone I need to do to achieve this? Do I have to tell notify AT&T as well? What do I need to do to ensure compatibility with that network & the speeds I would like to achieve?
Phew. That is all. Thank you!!!!
As far as I know, the international version of i9100 is quad-brand 3G which matches AT&T. You can get 1 on amazon for around $700 USD
OR
you can get a LOCKED i9100m from Bell or Virgin Canada, then unlock it. This phone is 599.99 in Canada.
Isn't the Bell version CDMA-only? Does it offer SIM?
Anyhow, I'll try my hands on an international unlocked version. Now, the question still remains... which one to buy from? Amazon.com has many resellers. NewEgg and Expansys-USA are single resellers, but I would probably have to ask where they get theirs from.
Are there any differences in getting it via from the UK, Korea, India, etc? I would also need an adapter that can be plugged in the US.
Ok there lots of information if you used search feature
Cheapest place to buy currently is www.expansys-usa.com, you get it for 658.99 and you get additional $10 off with lsjuly10 voucher.
You get hspa+ speeds with att and you can also use $15 unlimited non smartphone plan with sgs2.
Search around and you can find lots of info on this. Hope this helps
Edit : just to answer your other question, you get us adapter along with the phone from expansys, amazon. You might mostly get a phone with uk firmware but it shouldn't really matter. Once you get the phone you can flash whatever firmware you want thru odin.

Thank you very much for the coupon!!!
Searching around, it seems like Expansys-USA might be the best bang for the buck to purchase the unlocked version.
I also tried e-mailing NewEgg.com and some Amazon.com vendors. NewEgg.com said their S2 was "made in China." Hmm. I am unsure if it means it is a Chinese version. One vendor from Amazon.com said it was "unsure of where the device came from."
I'm assuming since there's an Expansys-UK, the Expansys-USA may be coming from UK. Is the UK version good? I guess UK (since it's in English) would be best for me...
I've also heard some versions do not have NFC. Does the UK version have NFC or working NFC in the states?
Just get the bell one from canada and save yourself some money, its full hspa+ , meaning it will work with att 3g in the states. If you buy the european ones you'll likely pay upwards of 800$ I'm thinking...
Are the Bell ones unlocked? Where would I be able to find one? Any online resellers that are selling them? I thought the Bell ones were CDMA-only? Or do they also have SIM-card capabilities?
Driving up to Canada and purchasing one is not too feasible for me.

Nope, bell has been ditching its CDMA network for well over a year... All their new phones are gsm. Well not just driving up I'm saying ordering online from canada would probably even be cheaper than buying a european phone, and they are the same phone, no nfc, same model.
I`m living in UK and I bought my SGS2 1 month ago from ebay. was sealed and is factory unlocked. It`s 100% original, not a fake. As far as I now if is factory unlocked it`s working in USA on At&t H+ speed, and you don`t need to unlock. If you want you can order from UK or wait when will be release in USA. Hope this help. Good luck!

Do you have any recommendations to reliable online Canadian resellers?
The hard part is that I'm still deciding whether to buy from Expansys-USA (cheaper), Clove (great reviews + most reliable), or from an online Canadian reseller (could be even cheaper + more reliable since I live in the U.S.?). My main criteria is that:
I would like to buy the phone that was made in Korea, but for the UK/CA market (thus, factory sealed) and comes with a US adapter (not add-on). That seems to be the best one, but I am unsure which one would provide that.
Hello I recently bought a white Amaze on ebay after seeing that this phone comes with the 850/1900mhz bands that needs to work fine on Argentina (we use the same as AT&T). But I noticed on some websites that they don't mention these bands on the white version of the Amaze, now I'm worried because I already payed and I'm waiting for my phone to arrive. Are the bands still there? Does any of you have a white Amaze working on AT&T? Or at least the box near you so you could tell me what it says. I can't wait to be part of the amaze community. Thank you

If I was to order an unlock Titan II off ebay would I be find to use it in the UK on three with no problems?
Let's hope so. I am awaiting delivery of a Titan 2 from across the pond [email protected] Branded but unlocked, In theory it should work on 3G but may involve manually inputting APN settings, I am on O2 but if it works then no reason why not on 3 network, Let you know when it eventually arrives
Just chatted with a HTC adviser and they said it should be ok for O2 seeing as the Titan 2 covers the 900mhz frquency, Not sure which 3 use but reckon will be ok.
I wonder if it is possible to buy a non at&t branded titan 2. Do they exist?
Now there's a very good question, I guess in theory they should exist but just not available to the UK market, The crux of the Titan 2s I believe were mainly for AT&T, I must admit I would prefer an unbranded one but think I can suffer the logo on the front for now at least.
I could not live with the logo, unless i can sandpaper it off, put a black sticker over it or buy a replacement housing form ebay
awesome
Let us know if it works, I am currently torn between ordering a Titan 2 from the US or a Lumia 900 (so much cheaper on ebay sim free from the US than they are in the UK.)
Hey all,
Really interested in getting one of these to replace my Mediapad X2. Can anyone tell me how it performs on U.S.A. GSM networks like T-Mo and ATT? Are you getting consistent 4G LTE? Will this handle the upcoming 5G bands? Can the phone portion be operated with and without the speaker enabled? Much obliged!!
Steve
right now got answer by US Huawei chat guy: "might be launched in a couple of months in the USA market".
M3 owner here. Even if it's an incremental update from the M3, it's going to be an awesome unit. That said I just wanted to offer a quick word of caution.
The M3's wifi is 5ghz capable but is disabled by default with a setting you can't change unless you root the device. The reasoning was some really iffy corporate double-talk about FCC conflicts. That said, after rooting this M3 is a dream. I don't know if the M5 will have this same issue in the US, but if the FCC line has not changed you might need to root. And if you need to, strap yourself in- because Huawei root support is sparse at best.
Rooting the M3 was not difficult per se, but a good number of people (including myself) hit snags because there's conflicting data/results as to the best way to get there. Once you get to the proper image and learn how Huawei's partitions work, it's not too bad. Just be ready for a learning curve. It's a far cry from rooting OnePlus...
So if it turns out that the 5ghz comes locked in the US, either be ready to run 2.4 for a while or wait until someone develops root. Good luck!
Thanks for the info, seven. I'm concerned about the wifi issue you discuss, but I'd be more excited to get an LTE phone in the US. Don't know how much longer AT&T will provide the connectivity I need to keep my X2 working.
The thing with the M5 is how long it's taking to get these out there. The phone was released well over a month ago and I can not find a single seller either on Amazon or E Bay. I'm starting to feel as if it was all a joke.
It should work with US LTE. Towards the bottom of this page shows what bands the M5 has and what bands each network uses.
https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-huawei-mediapad-m5-10-lte
This is for the 10 inch, but it should be the same as the 8.
Thanks. Any idea where I can actually buy on of these?

Thanks dude,
Just concerned that the version sold in Germany may have different bands that won't do LTE in the U.S.
Depending on the return policy, I may pick one up to check it out myself.
Thanks again.
GREAT!!! Went to the website Amazon. de. Adds say this item can not be shipped to the United States. I get the feeling we are going to be screwed yet again.
Ordered from Amazon Italy. It shipped from Germany, got it in 3 days. I briefly tested tmobile and got internet and calling. I will do more testing. Great first impressions..

Yes bought mine from Amazon.de, took 3 days for delivery to the UK.
Quite often items are cheaper coming from Amazon Germany than the Amazon UK, plus the MediaPad is supplied and delivered by Amazon, not through a third party.
Result?
I want the 64GB WiFi version for use in the USA. I wonder why only the 32 GB version is being currently sold.

To be honest the 32GB isn't really a problem.
I've loaded all my apps and still have well over 15GB left.
All my photo and video live on the micro SD card.
Did some further investigating. The one currently available in Europe does but have the bands for LTE in the US. Maybe we can hope for an international version, but I doubt very much that this will ever see the light of day in the US. May be a legal issue or something. Otherwise, why wouldn't all manufactures just open up the US bands just for the heck of it. After all, the US is one of the top three consumer markets in the world.
Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei's consumer business group, isn't giving up on the US yet... They really want to sell the P20 here. Hoping they bring the Mediapad M5, too.
https://www.engadget.com/2018/03/30/huawei-isnt-giving-up-on-the-us-just-yet/
This is a link to the Huawei promo info for the M5 on the US Huawei website. The only thing it doesn't have is a 'buy now' button. I'd say for sure, at this time! They are going to be available in the US soon. Really hoping to get one. asap.
https://consumer.huawei.com/us/tablets/mediapad-m5-8/
Nice that it's on the site. Wasn't there when I checked last week. Just hope the 8" gets a US release.
I saw a seller that ships to the US; but they only stock a wifi version of the tab. Hopefully, they will release an LTE version over here. Signs are looking good being that it's on the Huawei US site; but I never count my chickens until they are hatched. BTW, has anyone got answer about whether the tab has an ear speaker for calls or do you have to use a blue tooth?
For calls it is the loud speakers, or Bluetooth. No to the ear speaker.
I guess you could also go wired through the USB C adapter that is supplied not tried that yet.
It does work very well through the speakers if you don't mind being on 'loud speaker' to the world!
