Hi All,
My Landline broadband is rubbish because I live in the middle of nowhere. However, I get FULL mobile signal on my carrier (3UK)! So I use my Htc Sensation (HSDPA up to 14mbps) with the one plan (tether friendly) for my main broadband and I get around 10mbps.
I'd like to get a phone JUST for it's modem, preferably one of the 21mbps or the 42mbps ones. I'm having some trouble finding answers through web searches so I though I would ask the community. Does anyone know of a cheap phone with the best modem?
Many thanks in advance,
Deanodirector

Someone just told me that Tmobile (unlocked) HTC Amaze is compatible to Fido and Rogers in Canada, both callings and data,
is that real?
need help~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I got the telus one, and on the box frenquency supported should be working with, bell, rogers, fido and also with the new entranta. But since i do not know anyone on them and my device is not unlocked yet I cannot confirm it.
On paper it should work!

Thanks bro~
btw, any comment on it?
This device replace my old Htc touch pro 2, it is fast, battery is correct for me. The only downside seems the network speed, which i expected to be better, i got between 1mbps to 3mbps at home. I will test it in a bigger city when I get a chance. Overall I am satisfied. I am wondering to root, but I hesitate since this will most likely void my warranty on it ...

Do you have any issue on it?
I found some posts about Amaze got some hardware problems.
Nope, everyrhing works fine. But i have not tested it in deep. Just my daily usage. Not tested yet is : bluetooth, gps, nfc, fm radio and hdmi output.
The only complain is that some t-mobile store seems to have official dock and car mount but I cannot find any of them online.

Hey guys, noob here, and I just recently flashed a ROM I found on Xda that supposed to be just like the droid razr. I am loving the ROM but something is confusing me. Sometimes my phone shows 4g LTE in the status bar when my phone should only be getting 3g from T Mobile. I checked on the guys page and I can't find anything on the subject. Is it possible that my phone is getting 4G coverage?

I highly doubt it since the vibrant only supports 3g now as for the t959v thats the 4g varient of our vibrant with a different modem if memory serves me right.
Though I have noticed my 3g speeds down right blow past my sidekick4g's speeds but ofcourse that might just be due to it being a sidekick4g >.>

No, i know what ROM you are talking about. It is a port from the Razr and the Razr has 4G LTE. When it says 4G LTE on the Vibrant it means you have 3G.
Thanks guys I appreciate the responses that's what I was thinking but just wanted to make sure!

I have a trip to Europe coming up and I'm making plans to stay in touch with my office. I'm thinking of picking up a Photon and using a local SIM when I get to France.
I know it mostly depends of the network, but what kind of GSM data speeds could I expect on this phone?
I'm mainly interested in tethering it to my laptop.
Thanks.

It's ok for mobile browsing. I didn't try tethering in Scotland, but from what I saw on the phone, I would only use with a laptop as a last resort. Light e-mail is ok, but you'll be waiting a long time if you've got one of those co-workers who likes to send that 30MB presentation on his reply-all response.
And, of course, 4G is out of the question while over there. Good luck.
I'm going to send my phone put for JTAG soon, and I need a replacement phone. All I have is a T-Mobile sensation 4g, as the DNA is my first Verizon phone. The LTE SIM won't fit into the sensation. Any one have any suggestions?

You could buy a SIM adapter. However I am pretty sure the T-Mobile phone will not work on Verizon. The Verizon SIM is used to connect to the 4G network only. As far as I know, T-Mobile has not implemented LTE and T-Mobile phones cannot connect to LTE networks. Even if it did, it would not be setup to use Verizon's LTE frequency.

DUH! An adapter! Don't know why I didn't think of that. Thanks, that's probably what ill do. I figured LTE wouldn't work, and I didn't even plan on data working period. But I need to make calls and texts, so in hoping that works. The sensation is unlocked and rooted so in hoping it works

Even with an adapter, the T-mobile phone with a verizon sim won't work on Verizon. Verizon's network authenticates phones, and only phones that are in its database will work.
After a quick lookup, the Sensation will not work on Verizon. You can give it a try and see however it does not support the CDMA frequencies. This is a GSM phone only. I've attached a network spec and you can see it at the bottom of the picture. Also, Verizon does do authentication

My DNA is out for JTAG now. I picked up a relatively inexpensive RAZR HD on Craigslist for the duration. When I get the DNA back I'll just offload the HD back onto CL or on eBay for as much as I paid or more. Find a reasonably good deal and you won't lose, no big deal.

I live in Oklahoma where the only game in "town" is a small local cell pro user. They have the worst phone selection in the history of mankind....really..lol. I moved here a while ago and have been with Sprint so far but I roam out here at my house so it is finally time to make the switch. The cell provider is now offering the HTC deluxe which I understand is a DNA without the Verizon moniker. Does anyone know of development for this phone or can I use the dev work for the DNA? Thanx for the help......and right now I'm on meanbean with my EVO 4g LTE so I'm no newbie to the world of rooting and roms.

Basically you have to look into the htc deluxe for Radios/Ril cdma/ lte/gsm, then kernel, and software. Provider must have cdma in order to be porter to from DNA ....look like the HTC Butterfly is the match
Here more Info http://androidforums.com/droid-dna-all-things-root/728576-htc-deluxe-root.html
Yes, the carrier is cdma. They used to be in bed with sprint. Last march they split the sheets and climbed in bed with Verizon. I would go with Verizon but they do not have any native infrastructure here so I cannot even sign up with them....like I said, the only game in...uh.....town. the town I live in has al of 250 people and the closest city is only 50k.....nice to live out in the country but it does have its drawbacks.
And Thankyou for the link.....

Fellow Okie, I'm in OKC. Couldn't you drive into Enid and hook up with a Verizon store? Coverage looks good in your area. In any event, your local pro company is bouncing off of somebody's towers. I'd think that if you can find out who has the best towers in your neck of the woods, you could go into the nearest big city and get on their system.
Just a thought - You're living that dream, so you would know better. Good luck!
I meant to say provider, not pro company....lol. and yes, the only towers out here are owned by Pioneer. Sprint roams on them and Verizon uses them as an extended network. Att and tmo also have some stuff here but the the speeds are so slow. I cant sign up with Verizon because there is no Verizon owned towers here. I can't get Sprint until I'm in Enid, though they have their LTE up and running there....very vast when in town but can't even make a phone call when I'm at my house in Ringwood. So Pioneer is the only game here. Just been waiting for them to have a decent phone to make the switch. I hope the DNA development is compatible with this regional carrier version. I have been rooting and playing with different roms for years, will be unhappy if I will no longer be able to play with my phone.

Also, as of March 2012, Pioneer and Sprint went separate ways. Everything north of I40 and west of I35 is dead to sprint now. Been roaming ever since. Now Verizon uses Pioneers stuff for their extended network. By virtue of my address, I am unable to sign on with any carrier except Pioneer......so much for the American ideal of no monopolies...lol

I have a DLX with SU. The bootloader can be unlocked at htcdev. I tried to fastboot TWRP using the butterfly 920e version of TWRP, which did not work. So i tried the DNA version of TWRP and it worked.. Then i just flashed the su_busybox file and I'm rooted. I'm fairly sure the revone method will get you S OFF,, I haven't done it yet,, because the 4.2 software update is just around the corner. But in my opinon,, HTC DLX users should follow DNA methods, other than getting superCID. Which you don't need to do.
