Hi.
While buying the Evo 3D (x515M GSM) I was sure that it supports Wimax and 4G network (I have read about it on the Internet), however I can't find any option concerning 4G/Wimax in wireless settings. How is it with your phones? Is it only me or all the GSM version phone users? I'm running the stock gingerbread ROM.
It's not so important for me, to be honest, but I was just wondering..
I belive its only for CDMA users since 4g is a carrier option

U can the evo pretty cheap now if u have one already they give great trade value towards upgrading as well. HTC makes great phones too

WCDMA != CDMA. WCDMA is 3G GSM. CDMA is well CDMA.

WCDMA is not the same as CDMA. Its basically the standard for GSM 3G, and while similar to CDMA, there are enough differences that they are incompatible. Even if it did work, you wouldn't be able to call or text anyone and as a GSM phone there's no ESN so the network wouldnt recognize it anyway.
Actually worth, thinking about it....if you can find the firmware for sprint for Motorola Atrix 4G w
Atrix --> *#*#4636#*#*, go into phone info and see Atrix support for WCDMA, GSM, CDMA and EvDo

There is no firmware as the HARDWARE does not support CDMA. The only thing you could get working with a firmware update that does not work is T-Mobile 3G since the qualcomm mdm6200 modem chip in our phone supports petaband WCDMA. Now finding firmware to do this has proven impossible for me since there are other things included in the firmware that are different between phones and there is no T-Mobile Motorola equivalent to the atrix.
To sum up. Inorder for firmware support you need HARDWARE supper also.

bottom line op, get the motorola photon.
I love rezound very much, but you won't get a phone that you can not call and using internet. I'm with Vodafone AU, and the phone works for Verizon with LTE 4G.
Are there anyway to make it work with WCDMA? Any way to unlock or hack it?
Big thanks! Please help me become one of Rezounders in the future!
I want to help you ，but I dont know how to do ...

I'm not an expert or a dev, but I know for sure that we can't do much at all in the way of hacking until s-off is achieved. Furthermore, I could be wrong but I don't think the rezound supports wcdma.

The Rezound only operates on the CDMA2000 and LTE standards on top of operating only at specific bands.
Despite the similar name, WCDMA is not the same as "CDMA" - it is a GSM variant and is therefore not compatible with the Rezound, as the Rezound does not support nor contain a radio for that standard.
so then what is the diff between;
lte/voice
lte global
lte/cdma(auto)
I'm in a spot where Verizon says isn't the best coverage; although I'm constantly between 2-3 lte bars. is one superior than others

I had 3g goin while talking on the phone.....if that helps....
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
No, this phone can not be used as a world phone. You will be unable to use it on either CDMA or LTE. Not to mention, you have to have a Verizon LTE SIM to program the phone.
Next time, search! The answers to all these simple questions are in the forum.
Hi guys. In the settings of my gsm evo 3d there isn't the 4g option!!
Why this? And the wimax settings there arent' too!!! Why why!!?
I think you have the GSM version of Evo 3D. Where do you live?
I live in italy. But the 4g doesn't anyway have to be in settings?
The GSM version of the HTC EVO 3D does not support 4G in any way, shape or form.
And the wimax?
The GSM version also doesn't have Wimax. As far as I'm aware (from reading on here) the SIM slot in the GSM version is the same place as the Wimax would be.
All rights thanks. This thread can be closed.

There are a lot of different tech's and the names are often interchanged, it is not surprising people get confused tbh.
Although this gsm evo 3d does support tmobile usa 4g, Hsdpa . The limit on the phone capability is 14mbps
I get speeds of 5-6mbps and 6-7mbps on average around so cal.

I have HTC Thunderbolt 4G LTE. I want to travel to Europe and Middle-east and I know they use GSM system. Is there any way to flash my phone and make it compatible whit GSM ?
No, sorry.
Unless you can change the hardware in the phone (which you cant) it doesn't work that way.
Sent from my ThunderBolt using xda app-developers app
Nope, the Thunderbolt doesn't have the necessary hardware to be used on GSM frequencies. I was in Spain earlier this year and never got a signal.
Just wondering if this is Ok to do because there are some ROMs that are better/cooler on GSM/CDMA (GSM ROMs that CDMA users might want to have but that aren't available for CDMA or CDMA ROMs that GSM users wish to have that aren't available for GSM users. A build of cm 11 is already posted for the GSM HTC evo 3d and not for CDMA yet. I was thinking about flashing this ROM but wasn't sure if It will mess up on my CDMA evo 3d or be unstable. If I'm not making sense let me know. Any answers will be thanked. PS: if the major thing of flashing GSM ROMs to CDMA is only like no calling or no connection to towers or what ever, its not a problem because I use my phone on WiFi only and play games for the most part.

I wouldn't recomend you to flash GSM ROM on CDMA device. It's possible your installation procedure will stop automaticaly but there is a chance it will brick your device.
I tried once, and it screwed my recovery and didn't boot ..... Not advised:banghead:
