Hej Guys!
I'm from austria & i really adore the amaze. Unfortunately it's not available here in europe, so i have to import it.
Just want to know if theres an amaze without that crappy tmobile hardware branding?
Dunno myself so please help

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??
Thanks

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..

So basically I will be moving to the US for a while soon, and currently own a European HTC hero, will it work on any carrier there?
I tried to do the research and I believe T-mobile would support the same frequencies, although I'm not completely sure.
These are the frequencies used by US carriers check this link http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/cou_us.shtml
European HTC Hero supports 900/2100 for 3G
basically if you use in US you can make normal phone calls and Edge Connection
but no 3G.
AT&T works great on mine. Hspa is up and running. Its faster than the 3gs iPhone. And kinda rare over here. (At least in the Dallas/Fort Worth area)

I am looking at buying a evo 3D from a US seller on ebay, he states it is unlocked and will work in the uk.
Anyone know anything about this!
It will not use a simcard, if thats what you're asking sir
It's a cdma phone, not gsm
Not necessarily!
USA uses both GSM and CDMA.
Most phones there are CDMA, though. So you will need to ask him whether the phone uses GSM or CDMA.
GSM will work in Europe, CDMA will not.
Sprint phones are CDMA. The EVO 3D is CDMA in USA.
If his description has Sprint, The picture of the Evo has Sprint or the red rimmed camera, the seller is lying. Only the gold rimmed Evo 3D can work here & the UK/Europe in general (Rogers Canada is as local as you'll get, otherwise the seller imported it.)

I am in the u.s. and everyone here is correct. The EVO 3d that was released here is a cdma version. I to am looking for a gsm version but I want one for ATT bands.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
The Rogers version has AT&T bands. As an aside, what UK network would a 850, 1900, 2100 HSPDA phone (i.e. the Rogers Evo 3d) work on? I have searched a lot and can't find a straight answer...
All of them but let someone correct me if im wrong
I have always bought unlocked HTC phones in London, new one every year, and never had any luck with 3G data in the US or Canada while it works with Orange, T-Mobile, and Vodaphone in the UK. So I figure something has to be different. Well, those were all two band 1700 and 2100 and were flat out missing the US bands, I am hoping in the UK would only need 2100?
would a GSM version of the phone bought from the US work in the uk? such as the one on this webpage?
http://negrielectronics.com/htc-evo-3d-gsm-unlocked.html
i.e. is the phone exactly the same as the GSM version that will be released in the UK? just wondering because it would be much cheaper if i could buy it from the US
That doesn't look right, the GSM version has a gold ring, not red, might be scamming

This is just a generic pic. I have called negri electronics and they said they are getting gsm EVO 3ds but not 100% sure if it will be the Rogers version or not. But he also said it is a very high possibility that they will get the Rogers one that supports all ATT bands. Not sure if they were just blowing smoke. But he was very nice and understanding.

Negri is legit. Just hold tight or sign on with Sprint. They will be getting them in soon.
I am in the same boat but I am starting to think that Sprint might be a better option with insurance and better warranty support than buying it unlocked.

Dude,
It works very well! I have the AT&T Note... I unlocked it ($25 on ebay, I prefer this method as the seller has a reputation to protect). I then had it rooted, then flashed over to T-Mobile (http://rootgalaxynote.com/).
I did a test on the $30 - 1,500 minute plan (only 30 megs of data) to see how it works. I did this before flashing the modem and the 2G/Edge doesn't work well at all for the Note. However, after flashing the modem, it screams on TMO's 4G.
Good luck to you, but flash it and don't look back!

But just as a heads up, the exynos chip in the international version is not LTE equipped. So, if you get the international model it won't work on Tmobile's 4g bands even if you flash/hack/pray to the cell gods or anything else to your phone.

I'm not totally sure but, I believe if you get the international it will work on tmobile's hspa+. You shouldn't have to get the AT&T version if you just want to use the phone on tmobile and, are ok without LTE. Hspa+ is still very fast.

T-Mobile doesn't even have LTE so it doesn't make a difference.
The AT&T Note is the only one that works with T-Mobile 4G which again, is not LTE.
Also, no the international version does NOT get T-Mobile hspa +.
The international version ONLY gets EDGE on T-Mobile.

No. The AT&T one doesn't fully support T-Mobile while the T-Mobile one fully supports BOTH T-Mobile and AT&T.
For people who don't want CDMA-based service, the T-Mobile version is the best one to buy for compatibility.

Are you sure about that, Maybe the AT&T version needs to be unlocked for it to work on T-Mobile's HSPA+ Network. I hope like hell it does because I would like to have the 64gb version working on my Network of choice, T-Mobile of course.

This has been discussed to death on the boards.
All the phones have the same internal radio hardware but what's been flashed to each device is different.
i got a att version unlock, big mistake for tmobile. i flashed tmobile rom and radio. alot of places in new york i get 2G which it was constant 4G with my note 2. Place where i get 4G i only get 7mbps. while with my note 2 i was able to get up to 18mbps. Order the tmobile version will return this one. The only reason i bought this is because they had it locally in ATT store while tmobile htc one is on backorder and not avail in any store.
Unfortunately Samsung doesn't just make the same model for both I would imagine it would save them money also but att phones work slow on T-Mobile but other way around your golden

Got what? No one has yet gotten the AWS frequencies on their non T-mobile phone. What exactly did you have as results?
The ATT model by default only gets the HSPA 1900 band or LTE on T-Mobile (plus edge, of course). What it is missing is the high speed 4G T-Mobile only AWS band.
EDIT: One does not need to flash TMO to use the phone on 1900 or LTE.
