Someone just told me that Tmobile (unlocked) HTC Amaze is compatible to Fido and Rogers in Canada, both callings and data,
is that real?
need help~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I got the telus one, and on the box frenquency supported should be working with, bell, rogers, fido and also with the new entranta. But since i do not know anyone on them and my device is not unlocked yet I cannot confirm it.
On paper it should work!

Thanks bro~
btw, any comment on it?
This device replace my old Htc touch pro 2, it is fast, battery is correct for me. The only downside seems the network speed, which i expected to be better, i got between 1mbps to 3mbps at home. I will test it in a bigger city when I get a chance. Overall I am satisfied. I am wondering to root, but I hesitate since this will most likely void my warranty on it ...

Do you have any issue on it?
I found some posts about Amaze got some hardware problems.
Nope, everyrhing works fine. But i have not tested it in deep. Just my daily usage. Not tested yet is : bluetooth, gps, nfc, fm radio and hdmi output.
The only complain is that some t-mobile store seems to have official dock and car mount but I cannot find any of them online.

Is anyone here using their Atrix 4G unlocked on T-Mobile or anyone other carrier which is not AT&T?
I unlocked it with a tmob sim last night. Noticed I did not get bars with it though

I have used mine with three different carriers and no problems (US, UK, SP).
I use Simple Mobile. Does anyone know of another carrier in the U.S that could provide 4g speeds with AT&T bands?
I just gave away my spare atrix to my wife's friend. She's on T-Mobile and hasn't had any problems yet. I did warn her she's on 2g forever and ever.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Yea I use T-Mobile... I got more bars with the Atrix than I got with my last T-Mobile phone lmao... I use prepaid so 2g-4g doesn't affect me...
how can I get it to run 4G on T-mobile?

It will always be slow since its on 2g, nothing you can do.
Why aren't there laws that make it so cell phones are all interchangeable? Something like consumer freedom so you can buy any phone you want and use it on the carrier of your choice.
Use straight talk. Hspa compatible.

Actually, T-Mobile has said they're going to start adopting AT&T's 3G bands with the hope that Apple will let them sell subsidized iPhones. So depending on where you live, you may get 3G on the Atrix. I agree though, more interoperability is needed. This GSM/CDMA split we have is ridiculous.
I'm not using T-Mobile right now, but in a year (when my contract expires) I'm switching to one of their value plans and will unlocking my Atrix to use with them if I'm still happy with it. Given that so far the only spec I see improving on newer phones is the screen resolution, I think it'll still be plenty usable when that happens.

The Canadian (TELUS) Amaze has absolutely no branding at all. The only TELUS "bloatware" is Skype and Rdio being preinstalled.

There are differences in the 3G bandwidth between the Telus's Amaze and Wind's Amaze:
Telus 3G = 850/AWS/1900/2100 (as shown on the box of my Telus Amaze)
Wind 3G = 1700 / 2100 (per Wind website)
If you plan to use the data service, better to verify your carrier's 3G service to ensure you select the right model. This thing is nice but not cheap so make sure to make full use of it.

Using the apn settings yes--at least 3g depending on carrier ability. TBH, I have never really cared for the BS 4g set-up based on FCC ruling. Bottom-line, if it works well it works for me.
Hej
For gsm i need 900 & for 3g 2100.
Does that mean I can only use the tmob. One?
Thanks for ya advice!

Hi!
Using (unlocked) TMobile Amaze in Germany ( O2 Network which uses GSM 1800 sometime GSM900 and UMTS 2100 ) and can confirm that this one work here!
Only maybe network related issus so far are dropped signal / dropped calls / dropped data connection on 2G/GSM in areas without good coverage but think this is a phone/phone software related problem so what i have read so far...
I think that the other Amaze´s are compatibile with the same bands because of using what i know so far exactly same hardware... also when u read tech spec on wind homepage they write:
Technical Specifications
Frequencies / Bands: 3G (UMTS/HSPA) AWS 1700/2100 2G (GSM/GPRS/EDGE) 850/1900/900/1800
So this one should also work!
I have chossen the TMob version because i was for holidays in nyc and it was cheap to buy it directly there without paying for shipment, customs and so an.... And also so far i know they are the only one how sell the white one?
Love the white and can live with the TMob logo.....
No, the other carrier's amaze's aren't the same as Tmobile's.
as stated earlier in the thread, Tmobile covers all 3g bands
Anyways the most helpful reply is this one

as you can see both carrier uses 2100 for 3g, see if telus uses 900 for their 2g. If it does, you can virtually use all carriers' models
Ok guys, thanks for your advice.
Want to place my order but I still dont know which phone I need?
I need one with 900 and 2100, so only the tmob. Will work in austria??

Why is the Tmobile any better than the Telus model? In fact if you don't plan to root, the Telus model comes with virtually no bloatware. Perhaps the only negative is the lack of the camera software. And the Telus model has no branding, which is what the OP asked in the first place.
but you get all bands with tmobile one and unlockadble so i would say as a dev i would get tmobile one

Yeah I know what the op asked for, a few others and I pointed out that the telus and wind model works for his network, but he completely ignored it and said "so only tmobile work?" #facepalm
So I was like in whatevers mode and was like just go with the tmobile if you want to be safe, since it's virtually an international phone.
C'mon. I read the thread, but in hpacura's post he wrote all the networks except 900! But i need the 900 one here in my country? The wind amaze seems that it only has a 3G data connection?! Need 2G as well.
Have already rooted a lot of android (especially htc) phones, the amaze should be no problem..
Hey guys i live in india and ive been following the DNA and J butterfly news very closely. Ive read that the DNA has GSM capabilities on international networks. It pains me that htc hasn't released an international variant and would like to know if ..... well i can use the phone in india. Im using the one x right now but would love a true HD 5 inch behemoth as my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

A video was just released on YouTube showing the DNA running on att hspa. So I would assume it will work just about anywhere unless if verizon releases a patch to stop it from working on att.

Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
You could buy a SIM adapter. However I am pretty sure the T-Mobile phone will not work on Verizon. The Verizon SIM is used to connect to the 4G network only. As far as I know, T-Mobile has not implemented LTE and T-Mobile phones cannot connect to LTE networks. Even if it did, it would not be setup to use Verizon's LTE frequency.

DUH! An adapter! Don't know why I didn't think of that. Thanks, that's probably what ill do. I figured LTE wouldn't work, and I didn't even plan on data working period. But I need to make calls and texts, so in hoping that works. The sensation is unlocked and rooted so in hoping it works
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Even with an adapter, the T-mobile phone with a verizon sim won't work on Verizon. Verizon's network authenticates phones, and only phones that are in its database will work.
After a quick lookup, the Sensation will not work on Verizon. You can give it a try and see however it does not support the CDMA frequencies. This is a GSM phone only. I've attached a network spec and you can see it at the bottom of the picture. Also, Verizon does do authentication

My DNA is out for JTAG now. I picked up a relatively inexpensive RAZR HD on Craigslist for the duration. When I get the DNA back I'll just offload the HD back onto CL or on eBay for as much as I paid or more. Find a reasonably good deal and you won't lose, no big deal.

On pretty much all smartphones wifi calling here in Asia works great. Blocked in the US now like in communist countries??
Coming from a Nexus 4 user, so not biased in anyway:
Pros-
By far the best phone out right now (far above the GS4)
No lag whatsoever
Supports all frequency bands (2G,3G,4G, LTE on all GSM carriers)
Solid feel
Amazing screen
Sense is beautiful (opinion)
Wi-Fi Calling ( I get bad service in my house so I miss this feature)
Cons-
Although the materials are good, build quality on some devices has been sub par
Not subsidized on T-mobile, makes me very nervous to attempt to purchase or trade for one due to the fact that it was most likely purchased on EIP.
