Hey guys,
I was thinking about giving my old rezound to my nephew since his old tmobile phone got messed up. I have never tried using one carrier phone on another but is there a way to get my old rezound working on tmobile? I think as long as he gets 3g he would be happy, his last phone was 3g anyways. The rezound is on neo's tron rom and is s-off so i can flash anything required,
Thanks for the help guys!

You can't get 3G on T-Mobile with the Rezound. My friend gets 3G on his iPhone on T-Mobile but I only get Edge in the same area.

Ok thanks, I tried some of the gsm patches and none worked but guess that confirms it. Thanks!
I let him know that and guess he would still be happy, turns out his mother had data off anyways on his phone and he needed to be on wifi for data, he wont be missing out on anything and have a nice upgrade from the htc mytouch he had.

What if I use Virgin? They're on the Sprint network and right now I have to pay $85 for a monthly phone plan with unlimited data (mandatory) and 250 texts/mo. I had been hoping to go to Virgin after two months (V won't unlock my phone until then) because they have unlimited everything for $60/mo.

I think Sprint and Verizon are CDMA. Now as far as Virgin Mobile..? Well, I'd assume that since they're on the Sprint network that Virgin is also CDMA, so maybe. The second poster is right, Sprint will not allow you to do this, BUT I can't tell you whether Virgin can/will or not. MetroPCS and Cricket are also both CDMA and the Eris has been confirmed working on those since early spring of last year, so hell, maybe Virgin will and in that case I'm taking my Eris to them lol!
Hey guys, bigtime noob here with a question. I just bought my thunderbolt a few hours ago. I was with US Celluar and had a Samsung Mesmerize running CM7. I wanted to go with Verizon due to the unlimited data plan and have been reading up in these forums and the Thunderbolt seems awesome. But where I live I'm not even picking up 3g....just sits at 1x...my wife bought a Droid Incredible and is also getting just 1x. With our Mesmerizes we were getting 3g. Would flashing a different radio help this....what options do I have beside the unfortunate one of returning these phones. Any feedback would really be appreciated. Thanks

Can you advise what you did to correct it. Might help someone else.
Also what part of west virgina? I have family in Elkins and Morgantown and didn't notice it last time I was in...
Thanks
Alright this is what I did...go to Settings...Wireless Networks...Mobile Networks...then turn on Data Roaming then go to System Select and select Home Only. I then rebooted and had 3g. One little problem tho...could not make of receive phone calls..lol. Guess I'll deal with this till I get WiFi. Couple miles from here I get 3g. Jrock I'm in Ronceverte...Southwest Wv. Hope It's alright but I may be bugging a lot of you guys on here as I'm about to root this phone this weekend(told the wife to take the two year old and give me a couple hours of quiet time) LOL. This whole ADB copy paste make sure zip isn't zip.zip problems with step four etc. etc. has me a little concerned. The mesmerize was alot more simple.

Hi everyone, Im considering buying a HTC Rezound off ebay, the thing is that I dont live in USA (I live in the DR) and I've read
a lot about the "GSM mode" on the rezound but I've still have a few question(Forget me if they've been already answered, as i've searched everywhere for clear answers, including the original gsm thread):
1- Do I need to get some sort of unlock code from verizon to use a sim card with it (an Orange sim card from The Dominican Republic)
2- Does the Rezound supports 3G on the 900mhz band?
thats for now, thanks in advance.
PS: Sorry again if this been answered before, believe me I searched, (Im a "former" HD2 owner, so searching an reading tons of tech stuff is not
something new to me )
I contacted a local seller who claims that the rezound supports 3g on 900mhz band, he told me we could meet so he can show me in person
that it is actually getting 3g.

1) ok first of all the rez should work without an unlock code right out the box with ANY GSM sim card... if it's a stock rom you just won't have data(browse online) and if you try sending a text you lose service..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421341
that was when it first came out.. now you can just flash a custom rom and get full working data without worries... if you need help on that as well tell me
2) i live in the commonwealth of Dominica and i'm on GSM with Digicel... they don;t have 3g down here but they are on the 900 mhz band but the have 3g and even 4g in other countries so yes you should get 3g on the 900mhz band..
thanks a lot jahrize! I bought the phone, now all I have to do is wait for to arrive, I'll update this thread once I get it going.
thanks again.

Im not sure I understand, are you thinking of going TO Verizon? as What I meant is that I WILL NOT use this phone with verizon.
anyways if what you mean is that you're switching to Verizon but you're also planning to use this overseas as a gsm device from time to time then we're (almost) on the same boat, anyways the phone hasn't arrived yet, (think I'll be getting it by the end of the week). I'll post here whatever I find about it, wish me (us?) luck

Switching to Verizon but I travel to Dominican republic a lot and have a sim card with orange. So I would like to know if the rezound works with orange cuz we are (almost)in the same boat.
Sorry for the confusion.

I love it over there. Completely different way of life compared to New York. At one point I was considering a move to there but decided I want until I'm in a better position.
Do you just for vacation purposes or family??

Glad to hear you like it here, as for the reason I'm here,well I actually live here, Im Dominican. I bought the Rezound because the hardware is excellent and since CDMA phones are a bit cheaper than their GSM counterparts (at least on ebay) I went for it. Back to the phone, yesterday I spent a few (too many) hours trying to unlock it with HTCDEV.Com but I did not succeeded as the page was constantly logging me out, but today I tried it again at work (yeah I know ) and I finally got the unlock code, but I havent tried to unlock it yet as I read somewhere that it is best to first update to (offficial?) ICS to get the latest firmware and radio and then unlock it as if one tries to update after unlocking it will not update. By the way do you know how could I flashed the official update as I haven't been successful trying to get it OTA and im a bit confused with all the leaked ICS ruu floating around.
Thanks.
As promised here's the update: it works!!! It gets to connect to hdspa on the 900mhz band.
Of course setting it from stock was a bit of a chore. But it is done. I'm updating this from my HTC rezound running ics sense 4.0 3g on orange dominicana
I purchased a DNA used, and it came unlocked and rooted. The one thing I noticed was that it was not getting 4G. So I return to stock and I am still not getting 4G on my phone. I had a similar problem with my GNEX when I would put a 4.2 ROM on it, I wasn't receiving 4G, but I reverted back to 4.1.2 radios and started getting 4G again. Anybody have any reason why it would not receive 4G LTE?

Go to settings,mobile data,preferred network. mine was set to global by default and i was having the same issue (stock, unrooted). Switch it to LTE/CDMA and see if that helps.

Figured it out. The SIM card was damaged/corrupted when I switched it from my GNEX to the DNA. Went to a VZ, got a new SIM and everything works now. Guess I can't switch back and forth between my XOOM, GNEX, and DNA now...

Figured as much. Because I switch between my XOOM and GNEX constantly. The over-the-phone tech said the DNA could have corrupted the SIM card. I am going to switch the SIMs anyway, just to see what happens. They are free anyway.
I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 rooted and running the Darthstalker S4 Rom. I recently got an ATT sim card to put into my device because they were second best with the signal where I live. Which is the US. What I want to know, Is there a way to get 4G or 4G LTE on my device with ATT? I know 4G is here because my cousin is with them and has 4G LTE. Ive tried a few APN settings to no avail. Also every once in awhile I completely lose service because it starts searching for a service to run on again. All I get is H or H+ and half of the time, I dont even get that. That data never really works on that. Especially H. Also, I never get 3G either. Sorry if this is long, Im just at an end where I cannot find an answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Try flashing the latest Modem, it seems to to support the ATT LTE Bands. I have used an AIO sim in both a VZW GS4 and LG G2 and both get LTE. It doesn't seem to switch very quickly either. Also make sure you are have LTE/GSM selected for the radio.
My 2 cents

Could you point me into the right direction? Also, I can only choose GSM, or LTE. Not both at the same time. And GSM only works

Kinda dependent on the ROM but you might want to use the APP called Advanced Signal Status (Play Store).
From memory you can't since this model dosent support the other carrier's LTE/4g band. May be wrong but pretty sure that info is correct
