Best Android on T-Mobile? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, I am looking to buy an Android device on T-Mobile USA. The phone doesn't have to be sold at T-Mo stores; rather, should be unlocked and fully working on HSPA (not just 2G).
Two devices that I have in mind are the HTC One S and the soon to be released Samsung GSiii. If anyone could pick between those or any others that are released/soon to be released, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

HTC HD2 it may come with windows mobile 6.5 but it can do almost everything under the sun. Currently using with dual booting windows 7.5 tango and a nexus port of ice cream sandwhich and its easy to work with when flashing roms.
Currently flashing a sense 2.1 build for a friend on a LG P505 and the whole process is ugly. Best of luck on whatever you chose.

Thanks, but I'm looking for a very new device shipped with ICS. HTC HD2 is a warhorse, but I don't want it lol.

How about an Amaze or Sensation? If they still have them

Best Android phone with a QWERTY keyboard?

What is the best Android phone that I can get that has a QWERTY keyboard?
I am looking at the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro at the moment. I don't want to spend beyond $575. Also is that phone EVER going to be released anywhere else apart from the USA and Canada because I am from Australia. So I can't get it from the fido site because I am not Canadian.
I seen it on Basatne Electronics. Are they a good company to buy from?
Ive got a Desire z, which does the trick for me, not too expensive now but a very functional and good looking phone imho

Thanks, I was looking at that phone some time ago actually, I'm now thinking of getting the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro.
HTC G2, Motorola Droid 2, Samsung Epic 4G, HTC Desire Z
I vote for T-Mobile 4G Sidekick. It seems to fit the best relation price/quality/specs
@Edas, the Sidekick 4G I don't really like the design of to be honest. Also we don't have T-Mobile in Australia, I am planning to order online but because we have not so good phones here on our networks. Well there all REALLY expensive. Like $600+ AUD.
@Piaer, The Samsung Epic 4G looks an option for me even though its on Sprint but I should be able to find it unlocked hopefully somewhere. HTC Desire Z looks promising, I might have a bit more of an in-depth look to them.

[Q] Razr Maxx - can be used in Portugal?

Hello all, I never had a motorola and coming from an HTC EVO 3D... so this phone is all new to me.
I was thinking in buy an razr maxx to use in Portugal. I can find some razrs to sell from verizon (so i guess they come from USA) but my question is to know if i can use it in Europe and more exactly in Portugal? Will it work fine with my Portuguese SIM card? Something i should know?
Other thing, can anyone advise me if this is a good choice? With so many new phones, like SII, SIII, ONE S, ONE X, should this be a good choice? Or should this be the best choice?
Thank you for all the information that you can give me and help me to decide.
Bump! I would also like to know if this will work since Im currently in germany

I no longer need this information as I've decided to buy another phone.
Thanks anyway.
Yes, if you're on ICS, then this phone will work on any GSM carrier if you put the SIM card in.

[Q] difference between htc one international version and developers edition?

hey guys.
I don`t know if this is the right place to post this, but I was wondering what are the main difference between htc one international version and developers edition apart from the the 64gb storage difference and the bootloader, I am not going to use this phone in usa but am ordering it from htc usa store or amazon.com.
I would really appreciate it if anyone can provide me with some info.
thanks
I think your describing the dev edition with the 64gb and unlocked bootloader.
It's unbranded and has a cid with all 1's it receives updates straight from HTC sooner than branded devices

The dev edition isn't SuperCID
It's BS_US001
.. and definitely has *not* received updates faster than intl variants. it just got it's first official update from 1.29..3 to 1.29...16 around the middle of May, well after others reported getting .16 and even .17 . That is the only update that has ever been released for that phone (so far). meanwhile certain parts of the world are already getting 2.17.xxx

[Q] HTC One Developers Edition - Porting Question

Hello!
I'm eagerly awaiting for this phone to come to Verizon.. I know it has yet to be 100% confirmed with a release date, but I'm just waiting for the day.
I understand it also doesn't guarantee that Verizon will get the D.E. version, and may only carry the HTC One w/sense UI.
My question is - if Verizon has the Sense UI version, and the bootloader is unlocked, would it be possible to flawlessly port the D.E. ROM from another carrier over to the Verizon version?
This could sway my decision to go with the Cheaper Moto X instead until a better HTC option is on Verizon.

It being Verizon makes it incompatible with gsm versions in their stock form.

[Q] Flashing Asian Radio to ATT HOX Plus

All,
i would like to buy new HOX + since my HTC incredible s is stolen..i love HTC & Sense, and HOX + comes in my budget..but, in ebay i can get only ATT or Telus version HOX..but i live in india, worried whether the reception is very low since my friend is also using S3 ATT version n signal strength is weak..
Just want to know whether Flashing a radio of internation version to ATT version would brick the device or works well?
Any idea from experts? based on this factor only i will place my order in ebay.
Thanks all guys Really a great community this is.
PS: i know there is no KK official update for this device. Just gone through the forum and can see many active development going on..Only intention of buying this device is cos of this great dev community

From what I've heard, no. The international and ATT is different and plus the phone would probably not allow you to flash the radio of another device, unless you are s-off. I don't think it was ever done but it's probably not worth the brick. BTW there is not much development going on for the HOX+ atm. Hopefully things will kick up soon. The Samsung s3 is different than the HOX+ , maybe it will be better maybe worst. I get better signal than my dad's Note 3.
