Hey I was reading around and found this:
http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-one/#specs
Under network it shows this:
LTE:
EU: 800/1800/2600 MHz
US (AT&T): 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz
US (TMO): 700/AWS MHz
does that mean the AT&T 64GB version will work on T-mobiles LTE network?
Yup
It seems so. This is different but just a warning that someone purchasing the EU version reported signal issues on T-Mobile in USA.

EU: 800/1800/2600 MHz
US (AT&T): 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz
US (TMO): 700/AWS MHz
The EU bands are not in line with the US bands. This is why the EU version cannot be used in the USA for T-Mobile. T-Mo is 700/1700(AWS Band 4) for LTE service.
A reminder to T-Mobile customers: this model will not support HSPA+ in most markets, but should work on its growing LTE network where offered.
HSPA/WCDMA: 850/1900/2100 MHz -

According to Mike1986, if i read his thread correctly, that the European, tmoble and ATT versions are the same. There are 3 versions. Sprint, North America/Europe, and Asia. He also said you can flash a custom rom meant for Europe/North America on to a GSM (Asia)model. This is great great news.

Does a radio change the bands?
I dont know.
You can get T-Mobile LTE if available in your area, but T-Mobile HSPA bands not covered with the ATT version.
Edit: Actually I just tested with tmob sim in my ATT phone and I did get HSPA. At my house I only get Edge, but driving about a mile up to the main drag, I recieved 4G HSPA first at about 6MB then I got LTE 25-30MB.
Difference in units(I have one of each)
MID very close, but not exact.
I work for T-Mobile in Washington for corporate. I have the ATT version and I can tell you that the ATT version works perfectly on T-Mobiles LTE network. I don't understand why everyone seems to make a big deal on this HSPA deal though because from what I have seen is that if you are in an HSPA capable area then most likely you have LTE. I suggest the .24 radio btw.

Not all HSPA+ areas have been refarmed, leaving some stuck on EDGE...having the ability to use that band would be helpful to many.
Okay, I'm about to give up here.

poor speed here..
2-6 Mbps Miami, FL
About 2-5 in Socal , have never seen it go past my Captivate (HSDPA) yet.
This would probably be a lot more exciting to people on the TSGS2 forum. I can't imagine anyone on AT&T buying a T-Mobile phone just to gain access to AWS which doesn't even exist in Europe or Asia. Besides, the Skyrocket is the same phone but LTE and will pull 15-18MB down so if AT&T'rs wanted a bigger screen they'd get that. It's good that it works on AT&T for you T-Mobile'rs so it's not a door stop after the merger.
I don't have screen shot sorry. But LA, California I have a bug that does not let me test. -__- i will edit later when it works
No the thing is on the original gs2 I get 1- 1.2 mbps and on T-Mobile gs2 I get 6-10 mbps on At&t. That's why I wanted to know what kind of speeds At&t gs2 owners are getting that's all. I'm not suggesting anyone to go get the T mobile version.

It's not. The TSGS2 can get a theoretical 42MB down on T-Mobile using AWS so it's definately going to be faster there. Part of the reason isn't just the phone, T-Mobile's using dual-cell HSPA (link below). On AT&T's bands, it's 21MB down just like the ISGS2 and ASGS2 and AT&T's network's not dual-cell. If he's getting different results it's either because of APN settings being off, incorrect account provisioning, or AT&T's network just being randomly flaky. If OP was getting 1MB down with an ISGS2 something was horribly wrong. I get 3-4MB down in 3G cities and have gotten 10MB down on occasion when traveling in TX but routinely get 6-8MB down in fake-4G cities.

It will work. This phone is like Samsung Galaxy S2 on Telus Mobility Canada, which works on T-Mobile USA AWS Band. Another option is to buy Rogers/AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note LTE and flash it with T-Mobile SG2 modem bin.
Rogers SG2 LTE works on T-Mobile USA once you flash the modem. Modem on these chips support LTE & HSPA. If LTE 1700 band is supported then 1700 band on HSPA is also supported. It is a single chip, so they can't enable 1700 LTE band and then disable 1700 HSPA+.
Is it possible to buy just the phone and have it shipped to the US?

The way unlocking works with this Canadian carrier is that you pay upfront and after 30 days (if you are new customer) they will send you the unlock code for $50.
I don't think they will ship it to US. Wait until Feb 14 2012 or Feb 17 2012(Bell sales person told me they will have it on Feb 17 at the store) to see if they allow shipping it to US when ordering online.
If AT&T don't sell phone outright, buy it from Rogers. I know Rogers will ship the phone to US/Canada if it is a Business line.

Modem flash will only work with LTE Version of Samsung Galaxy Note as is the case with Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE Rogers (has 700/1700 LTE, if you do modem flash on this with T-Mobile USA, you will get HSPA+ 42 and no LTE support). Not on the international version of Samsung Galaxy Note. LTE Version of Samsung is PENTA Band.

Wait, so is the Canadian version different than the other LTE ones or could I get any one of them like the AT&T version which would probably be easier to pick up here in the US. Do we know that you can flash it or is it best to hold off and wait until someone actually tries it?

OK OK . I'm sure if I searched I'd find exact answer but from quick looking I did I see exynos international note and an lte s3 note.
It seems people are trying both to get T-Mobile 4g to work.
Would the exynos be 21mbps hspa
+ if succeded and the lte be T-Mobile 42mbps hspa+?
What are the chances would you guys think of this happening?

I'm Galaxy Nexus owner. I have T-mobile and it works with HSPA+ without any problem. It is really fast.
In a blog I read that International version of SGSIII doesn't not support T-Mobile HSPA+ & 3G.

So, the trade-off for early access to the much-anticipated phone is less functionality. The international model’s 3G HSPA+ should have no problems with the AT&T network – though won’t step up to LTE – but won’t work on T-Mobile USA’s 3G as it lacks support for the 1700 band.
Click to expand...

Are you sure that's what you read?
Another way of reading it, is that T-mobile doesn't support the 1700 band, required for LTE. But what do I know? I only know that the modem firmware certainly supports the 1700 band, but whether or not this is implemented in hardware is a different story, but it would have been stupid not to have done it. The only way to tell, is if someone can start posting some internal pictures of the PCB so we can see what radio chip sets are used within.
You will not get HSPA or even 3G speeds with the International S3 on T-Mobile. HSPA is T-Mo's 3G network and it requires 1700/2100 band, which the S3 does not have.
At best, you will get 2G (or EDGE) speeds, and those are not very fast at all. Streaming anything would be pretty painful.

Galaxy Nexus is penta-band (it supports a bunch, including 1700), and hopefully the next nexii will be as well.
To check for compatibility in future, you just need to compare the phone's frequencies with those listed for the provider (can probably find them on wikipedia even). In this particular case, you'll have to wait for the t-mobile s3 if you want hspa+.
It is worth pointing out (and I'm surprised that no one has done so yet) that T-Mobile USA is working to have hspa+ working with the 1900 band by the fourth quarter. So if the international S3 doesn't initially get hspa+ on tmo, it will by the end of the year, possibly even by the end of summer.

Agreed, you shouldn't make phone decisions on the basis of something that might happen eventually; who knows when they'll even get to your geographical location.
The baseband chip set is the same in Galaxy Nexus and i9300, so I see no other reason for not providing T-mobile compatibility apart from either not having had time to build the baseband firmware to conform to T-mobile networks or simply that T-mobile is doing something "wrong"! (Yeah, they tend to complicate things by reinventing the wheel, and Samsung are probably getting tired of having to provide them with separate models and modifications all the damn time, just because of it.)

You're wrong.the reason they're doing this is because of Lte. They want to use the 1700 band for lte and the 1900 for hspa since they don't have many people using the 1900 bands for gsm. So it'll happen really soon.

I guess that depends on your definition of "really soon," but last I heard, TMo wasn't beginning the LTE transition until "early 2013".

But first they need to clear out the hspa 1700 spectrum for lte, and that's planned for later this year.

Clearing out 1700 for LTE doesn't mean 1900 will be refarmed at the same time. They have been "refarming" for quite a while and still only have small areas to show for it.

The baseband chip set is the same in Galaxy Nexus and i9300, so I see no other reason for not providing T-mobile compatibility apart from either not having had time to build the baseband firmware to conform to T-mobile networks or simply that T-mobile is doing something "wrong"! (Yeah, they tend to complicate things by reinventing the wheel, and Samsung are probably getting tired of having to provide them with separate models and modifications all the damn time, just because of it.)

It has nothing to do with T-Mobile. If pentaband phones can exist it isn't that big of a deal to include the band. It is a European phone and they don't use the 1700mhz/2100mhz combo band that T-Mobile uses.
T-Mobile also isn't the only carrier in North America to do this, so it's not like they're the only one.
galaxy s3 has HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 , no 1700. so it doesn't work with t-mobile 3g right now.
Recently I switched my ATT HTC One X+ to T-Mobile all unlimited service and I'm sharing my APN settings for LTE and MMS.
Name : T-Mobile LTE
APN: fast.tmobile.com
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: default,supl,admin,dun,mms
Hit thanks if this apn settings help you.

T-Mobile LTE speeds are slower than AT&T, but IMO good enough for regular use.

That's what i thought. I was thinking of switching also, but i'm still grandfathered into unlimited data for now. i will switch if they take that away from me.
I dont have tmobile but I recommended these settings to my friend who's been getting 3G all day everyday :/ hopefully she gets some 4GLTE now

I'm using this settings on my HTC one x plus and I get good lte speeds.

I'm using an unlocked AT&T one x+ on T-Mobile, currently on the viper xl Rom. I have lte enabled but I've never really gotten lte speeds like I do on my unlocked AT&T note 2. Every time I do a speed test, it either says cell, or umts, or hspa, or hsdpa. Never does it say lte. Moreover, the icon on the status bar never says 4g lte, just 4g. On top of that, I frequently get the "disconnected because the radio was turned off" error also. BTW I'm in a 1900 refarmed and lte enabled area.

Unlock HTC One X+ for Mobile
Hey guys,
Slightly off topic but I just bought a HTC One X+ to use on tmobile but I'm not sure how to unlock it so it works on Tmobile. I've tried calling Att multiple times for the unlock code but they keep telling me it will be eligible to be unlocked on May 16th. Have you guys experienced this? If so, how did you get around it? Did you buy an unlock code off a website or is there a software unlock? I've tried googling and searching the forums but I didn't seem to come up with anything.
When I do get it unlocked, I'll share my speeds from NYC. Thanks!

Band 4 for LTE = AWS. So, the hardware is there. Its just that it is "programmed" to be used strictly for LTE, and not 3G. I was wondering if there is a way to "reprogram" it via a radio flash or something, just like in the case of the Galaxy Note 2, the Skyrocket, etc...

@sdaddy since the HTC One X+ is not S-Off, unfortunately we can't flash radios.
Hotspot?
Hey guys,
Were any of you able to get the wifi hotspot funnction to work? I've tried both the Elegencia and Viper roms for the AT&T One X+ on Tmobile, and they don't seem to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This is to my friends in Mexico:
The T-Mobile LG G2 can be unlocked and used in Telcel without any problems! :good:
Telcel will have the LG G2 somewhere in November 2013, but it will cost around $11,000 pesos, but on T-Mobile you can get it for a bit less than $8,000 pesos ($640 without contract).
Here's some photos of mine unlocked and working on Telcel. I still don't get my LTE chip, but it works on LTE too!
Cheers!

The signal seems to be great as always, however lately on my Samsung Galaxy Note I get lots of dropped calls from time to time... Not on the LG G2 so far.
The model number is: LG-D801

Here's proof of my T-Mobile unlocked to Telcel G2 working at full LTE speeds in Tijuana.
It should also work on Movistar's LTE network (2.600 Mhz).
Remember that you need a special micro sim in order to accomplish LTE speeds and to live in a city that has the service available.
Saludos!
I travel a bit to Mexico on business and am wondering if I can change the sim card from T-Mobile (USA) to Telcel (a pre-paid sim card).
Is this possible?

Of course you can, but before you do that you must ask T-Mobile to SIM unlock your G2 with the intent of traveling to Mexico. They do it for you for free. Granted you have at least a month with them.
Then just get a pre-paid Telcel LTE micro sim and you are ready to go. It costs $110 pesos around $8 bucks.
Cheers!

You're welcome!
Both are basically the same hardware and specs. However I recommend you to base your purchase on the Custom ROM availability of each. T-Mobile LG G2 custom ROM scene is not that great, not that AT&T custom ROM scene is great, but I think it's not as bad actually.
I forgot to mention that even though both are the same hardware, ROMs are not interchangeable.

Hello, why are you worried about LTE?... Telcel LTE is crap, Telcel in general is crap in the DF (they filter the Skyper traffic) and in Movistar the simple internet connection is horrible (they use traffic filtering, for example VIBER degrades after 3min of usage), so imagine how good could be LTE... I have in Mexico D802SEA with IUSACELL, I think is better option compared to the others model of G2

At the moment custom roms are pure crap in all models, better if you stick with stock rom.

My suggestion, don´t move from IUSACELL, my other phone a Galaxy S2 is under Telcel and the signal in general is the worst I ever seen in a company, and Movistar internet is not good, as I told before, they filter services and for me, this the enough condition for not to contract a service. At the moment IUSACELL is the only company that dont filter internet traffic, of course I dont like so much their service too, but its the better between the three providers.

Totally agree with you... But I see it differently... I consider the stock ROM really good. For me it does not need anything else. I hate AOSP plain vanilla actually.
But each it's own.

Au contraire my friend, roms are, as a matter of fact, interchangeable. You just need to flash a kernel based of YOUR phone version.
Why, as of now I have a Wind mobile G2 running a T Mobile based rom, with working wifi calling and everything
