Hi everybody
I recently retired my old Xperia X1 and bought a Htc EVO 3D Gsm.
The cellphone is Canadian Rogers version. and also its unlocked (sim free)
I live in Brazil, I can make calls normally but the 3g network don´t work at all.
This cellphone is quadriband correct ? so its suppose to work with any carrier right ?
Any ideas ? Please help
If need more info just let me know
Just in case, I use TIM as carrier and the 3g frequency here is 2100mhz so I discard band problem
Tks =)
Ok, I think I found the problem
There´s no APN settings
But.. i enter manually the settings for my carrier. It appears "saved" but the settings still blank
Any advices?

Hi everybody.
I purchased a unlocked gsm optimus t (t-mobile) in USA last week. Well, in my country we have a 850/1900 wcdma band (it seems the same at USA), but, i can´t conect to 3G network.
Searching for the phone specs, i find it the optimus t work in 1700/2100 network, it´s that correct??. If the answer is yes, it is possible to change wcdma frequency in this phone??.
Thanks for you help.
Pd: I read if i install a correct firmware for my country (Chile) is possible to change it.
I don't think so. There are 2 versions of the phone. I've bought mine in Chile, and no matter what ROM I use, I still can connect to the 3G network.
However, I think you should keep your phone and wait for Nextel or VTR networks to become operational, which will work on those bands.
You should see those 3G networks doing a network search on your mobile.

Howzit guys,
I brought a HTC Aria in the USA on AT&T network. I came back to SA and rooted my phone put Android v2.2 on (phone came with v2.1) thinking that would unlock the phone, but it didn't. I ended up looking on the net for a website that I could get an unlock code for my phone. Long story short, I found one, paid for it and it worked. I'm using the phone on Vodacom no matter what I do I can't get 3G or HSDPA to work, only GPRS. HSDPA and 3G work fine in the states.
After doing some research I noticed that in the Mobile Network settings on the phone there is 3 options under Network Mode:
1. WCDMA only
2. GSM only
3.GSM / WCDMA auto
Now from what I've seen I need to use WCDMA to get the 3G / HSDPA to work, but when I select option 1. I don't get any signal and then phone eventually switches to GSM automatically. I was at work on the weekend helping a customer with her laptop and she had a 8•ta 3G modem, and 8•ta 3G modems are currently running off of MTN's network I was told this by an 8•ta technician and I noticed when connecting the modem it said something regarding WCDMA.
So now my question, if I change to MTN do you think I will be able to use 3G / HSDPA on my phone?
Any info regarding this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
The American version of the Aria uses different 3G frequencies (because that's what AT&T uses), so unfortunately your phone will not work with 3G in South Africa. There is a different version of the Aria (called Gratia in most regions) that is the exact same phone except it supports the correct 3G frequencies for your country, but there's nothing you can do with the phone you have now to make it work.
So I love my HTC ONE.... Fantastic phone.. No question about it.
As I posted else where I have the UK model and I am on AT&T in the USA. It's working, but the HSDPA and 3G is bouncing around quite a bit and it jumps to E really quickly. And it loses the signal quickly in low signal areas. More than any other phone. If I switch the network to GSM, I have full signal almost everywhere.... But no data bandwidth.
It was suggested that I might need to look at my setup.
So here is what I have.
I have a STD LTE data plan
I have a STD sim that work on all my other LTE enabled phones
My APN is Called Phone and has the same setting as I find on the forum for a 4G setup...ie it is NOT the wap and cingular setup.
I have selected WCDMA and GSM networks (I know the phone is not compatible with AT&T LTE bands), but it acted the same way even when it was on the default GSM WCDMA and LTE Auto setting.
Does anyone know else I should check or change?
PS. I will likely buy the developer model, or the AT&T model as soon as it is available... this phone is that good!!!
Thanks for your help.

PS. I will be in Korea next week, so I am curious how the LTE will function there.... I will let you know. I think they have the 2600 band on one provider and that overlaps with the UK bands
hello i am interesting on buying a samsung galaxy s4 and i have seen that the cdma version(sprint/ Verizon) are more cheeper that the others version but what i want know if this phone could be activated on gsm network , on the spec of the phone show tha have the gsm bands for 2g and 3g network
in case that could be activated a phone winth bad esn could work on a gsm network without problems?
I bought a Note ii clone from China http://www.dhgate.com/product/1-1-n7100-note-2-mtk6589-quad-core-android/160552013.html It states that it has850/2100 WCMA 3G bands, and i am on Virgin mobile in Canada which is a WCDMA network only that uses 850/1900 and LTE thus i figured it would work. I put in the SIM card and the phone right away told me my phone number and that it is a Virgin SIM i was extremely happy. Yet it said no service when i asked for the phone to connect automatically it said can not connect to network now please try later. When i searched manually it cound Virgin 3G and then again when i chose it i got the same message! I have factory reset the phone and have restarted it taking the battery and SIM out. I have downloaded Mobileuncle and it states the phone actually not only has the 850 but also the 1900 WCDMA bands, now i am baffled. Am i doing something wrong? why is it not working? I have it set at auto gsm/wcdma for preferred and nothing. I did try the second SIM slot with a Rogers SIM and it worked for GSM as the second SIM is only GSM, Also in unclemobile under engineer mode>engineer mode (android)> phone information it states the phone is on GSM auto (PRL) and i have changed it to different settings, but they wont stick, every time i change it get out and come back the GSM auto (PRL) comes back, any way to fix this to WCDMA preffered and make it stick? Is this the issue? Since 2 days ago Canada has a new blacklist for stolen phones i checked the list just to make sure, but the IMEI number isn't blacklisted.
I have input all the info. i know and things i tried, if anyone can help with this or have any suggestions i would be grateful!
Thanks in advance/
