having trouble getting 8525 on tmobile 3G network. it still showing only the E. help....
I thought tmobile wasnt coming out with 3g til oct or nov.... Im a bit behind on times if it's already out...
TMobile has rolled out the 3G in a handfull of areas right now.
I don't have a list handy, but it's available out on the Internet, search for it if interested.
As for the hermes, this has been covered before, a few times at least.
In a nutshell, the hermes will not work with the TMo 3G network due to the 3G bands that TMo are going to use. Unless TMo sets up some kind of roaming/tower sharing agreement with whatever carriers are in your area, it will never work.
Here are the cities for 3g..unfortunately none of our current phones will work with these ODD TMobile bands (U'll have to get a new phone from them)
Markets currently with T-Mobile 3G (13):
Austin
Baltimore
Boston
Dallas
Houston
Las Vegas
Miami
Minneapolis
New York/New Jersey/Long Island
Phoenix
Portland
San Antonio
San Diego
Markets getting T-Mobile 3G by mid-October (8):
Atlanta
Chicago
Los Angeles
Orlando
Philadelphia
Sacramento
San Francisco
Seattle
changing the radio frequency, is it possible?
is it possible to change the frequency on the hermes to run in
1700/2100? or is it set on the phone? can it be turned like a radio by turning the dail?

Technically, it is possible, but only by changing the radio hardware and recoding the radio stack and OS software (if any) to handle it.
So for all usual intents and purposes, no it's not possible. If you are a hardcore enough phone hacker, then I would say yes.
This question is for the t-mobile guys that have their AT&T phone unlocked. Do you guys pick up "H" icon on your display or does it go into 3g or just stays at "Edge".
And if no, what APN's or settings did you use to bypass the "Edge" network.
And for the folks that say "use the connection app" I've done it, which is why I'm here.
Anyone have trouble getting 3g/4g speeds on their debranded AT&T phones via other carriers?

No Titan variant anywhere has support for the 1700MHz band ("AWS") T-Mobile USA uses for their UMTS services.
T-Mobile is re-purposing some of their 1900MHz spectrum for UMTS; once that happens in your area you may get 3G/H on your Titan. Until then you will not.

Thanks for the feedback.
I am sorry bro. I was like the few first people who own the International Titan and use it with T-Mobile Bands, I stucked at EDGE/2.5G for all the time before i switched to AT&T so look like you are out of luck.
Sorry.
I can confirm that it is rolling out as we speak, I have the TITAN 2 from ATT using a Tmobile sim and i often get the 4G signal, this started about 5 days ago (September 5th) in the Maryland, Washington DC area. I even tested the connection speed and got a 0.2 Mpbs which actually allowed me to stream netflix on the phone. I was so happy to see that 4G hopefully it can be permanent soon. otherwise I always get the E (edge) slow speed.

According to tmobile's blog (http://blog.t-mobile.com/2012/09/10/t-mobile-steps-up-bring-your-own-iphone-efforts/), " we’re already starting to turn up 4G HSPA+ service in our 1900 MHz spectrum. With sites already live in cities like Seattle, Las Vegas, Washington DC and the New York metro area..."
Works up here in Seattle.

I'm in the city and still see 2g on my phone =(.
Under Settings -> Cellular -> Highest Connection Speed, did you set to 3G? Otherwise maybe it hasn't reached your part of the city yet... Tmo forums are pretty set on having the majority of the country covered by Q4 so a few more months I guess...

Lucky y'all!!! There's this big ol donut hole in the state of Georgia and we're in it...No 3G...3.5G...imaginary (AT&T) 4G...and worse...AT&T has their Titans throttled back on Cat 8 so nothing to write home there. I'm returning to T-Mobile at the end of the month and keeping my Titan...and I'm more than aware it will only run on EDGE until T-Mobile "completely" reforms 1900 so all you folks in the big cities; you live in small town USA; it might as well be never. Wherever there's WiFi...the phone is a dream to use but no amount of flashing the Titan is going to change the fact it will only run on 2G if you have either the Straight Talk (T-Mobile) SIM card or T-Mobile SIM card in it...bottom line is T-Mobile is 1700 and a few of us won't see 1900 until we're dead.

I've hit 3g+ in the NYC area, typically in the lower west side of Manhattan. I guess it's slowly making it's way up.
I experienced T-Mobile 3G on a Titan in Redmond, WA yesterday. Got about 2.8Mbit download.
On AT&T I usually get about half that.
Denver 4G
Looks like T-Mobile is doing something in SE Denver right now. I'm starting to see 4G light up on my AT&T Titan phone.
Keep going T-Mo!

If your Titan I is unlocked, download Advanced Configuration 1.5 and within it you can toggle either 3G or H. That said, as T-Mobile refarms their GSM 1900 band, those cities will be able to use their AT&T Titans on 3G/H. It is expected to be in most T-Mobile markets by the end of 2013. I would encourage you to check out TMo News web page at www.tmonews.com for where they are rolling their high speed 1900 band out.
There is spotty 4g service in the NYC metro area now. It would be nice if it was where I reside at lol. I can deal with the wait. It's so much fun having 4g speed on the titan though.

Be lucky and happy then; we live in a donut hole in West Central Georgia (US) and there is no T-Mobile service here and where there is AT&T and what remains of All-Tel after Verizon Wireless and AT&T got of what Verizon Wireless had to divest; there is no 3G or H and where my kids live in Opelika, AL, not AT&T but T-Mobile and no 3G there. Auburn-Opelika I doubt is big enough to get the refarmed 1900 H band anytime soon. Though none of these carriers mind us paying for it anyway; amazing how that works; they ***** about some folks using their data up but do you think they charge those on EDGE less; nope!
actually getting good lte speeds yet? i am seriously considering getting a evo lte off ebay since u can get one just under 300 these days. i went into a sprint store and saw the 4g icon was active picking up lte but i did a speed test and it was about 1mbps on the download. is anyone seen actual lte benefits in austin, tx yet. i know it is all around us in houston, dallas and san antonio

where do you live and where are the areas where you frequent? LTE rollout has been slow but ive seen LTE in various places.
FWIW I live south of downtown in the SOCO area.
Buildout is predominantly in the Northern and northeastern areas (jollyville, cedar park, north mopac, round rock, etc) but by no means widely available.
Keep lte discussion to the already present threads please...

North Royalton, OHI thought I'd start a thread listing the places where folks on T-Mobile are able to get LTE so that people thinking about buying the dev editon (or just using LTE) will know for certain that it is available in their area. If I have time I'll post new areas in the OP.
EDIT 3 July 13: Thanks to XDA Member meleniumshane90, who has provided a map that is being updated with LTE locations: http://ltemap.org/tmobile

I consistently got LTE service in Vegas last week. It was great.
I'm in Long Beach, CA and I can only get 4G speed. ( max is like 1MB if Im lucky )
NYC does not have LTE yet.
Briefly saw LTE in Factoria in Bellevue, WA - it was fast as all get out

T-Mobile DOES have LTE in NYC. Right now it's only underground inside subway stations. Not sure why nobody is reading my posts...
Once you stumble upon LTE, you'll be like "look what I've found"!!!
It's been accessible since April 25th on some stations of 1,2,3 lines N,Q,R lines and A,C,L, etc. http://web.mta.info/nyct/service/WirelessServiceAtSubwayStations.htm

On your notification bar by your battery indicator...4G will just be HSPA+ and if it's on LTE, you'll see 4G and LTE below it.

Ah, so that's why I wasn't getting the speeds that I had been hoping for. Hopefully T-Mobile decides to set up more LTE towers in my area (Pomona, CA)

Do I need to change a setting or something to pick it up? Was just on the 2 train tonight - I was only getting 2G at Times Square. At 96th, 72nd and 14th I got 4G, and 34th St. voice only, no data!
I had heard a few weeks back that one could pick up LTE in the Atlantic/Barclays Center area in Brooklyn - haven't had a chance to stop by around there yet to see! Haven't seen that LTE yet since I got the One.
You don't have to change a thing. It automatically upgrades to LTE. Maybe not if you stay in the car, but on the platform is all LTE.
I am going to definitely head over downtown to check that out...

Since unlocking my AT&T Nokia Lumia 920 early May for the first time ever I seen LTE on my phone. I was driving from the Philadelphia Int Airport to close to center city Philadelphia and looked at my phone LTE. Amazing. Did use app speedtest.net but results are not lte speeds. Roughly 5meg down and 7 meg up so that is inconclusive. While on lte my email was not working it kept asking for passcode. Then closer to I476 at I95 I was back on 4G.
Is tmobile testing 4G in Philly market now? More interesting I have the regular firmware 1314 on this phone no modification.
