I'm sorry that I'm a newbie at this with discussion boards and forums.
I want to know:
1) what if I was to purchase the AT&T version of the htc one x and get it unlocked to use it on tmobile, would it work well like the other smart phones tmobile would have (example: compared to the htc one s)?
2) what about the international unlocked htc one x on tmobile? I know that the international unlocked one x has a very different processor compared to the at&t one. So what would the speeds be like on tmobile with the international unlocked version?
Basically comparing the AT&T htc one x and the international unlocked one x on tmobiles network.
I really want the one x, I know tmobile will release the one s, but that version is a whack to me.
Ok, so there are three basic differences between the One X (international) and One XL (AT&T):
- the processer: quad core Tegra 3 vs. dual core Snapdragon S4 // the Snapdragon is faster, but the Tegra's GPU is faster
- LTE: 3G only vs. 4G //the One XL wins, if T-Mobile offers 4G in the USA, you're better off with a XL
- the AT&T will have branding, if not hardware then software, which means you will have to wait for updates much longer
anyway, both phones will work with T-Mobile, no problems here.
Bottom line:
if you decide to get the XL, try to get a branding free version, e.g. from amazon.
Thank you soooooo much! Now I can make a better decision with your wise info/suggestions!
The international version will NOT GET 3G on T-Mobile. The AT&t version MIGHT.

AT&T is getting the One XL. It uses the 700ishMHz band only for LTE. It doesn't support T-Mobile U.S.' AWS (3G/Faux-4G) bands and would only get GPRS/EDGE data speeds.

So both the international and the AT&T wouldn't perform any 3G/4G data? (bummed out)
There seems to be a discrepancy from various HTC regional sites. If you look at the US HTC site, you'll see the following instead:
Network
LTE CAT3 - DL 100 /UL 50
LTE: 700/AWS
WCDMA: 2100/1900/AWS/850

Actually, I wouldn't be so sure on the AT&T version yet. Despite what the HTC Asia site shows, the HTC US site shows differently. We won't know for sure until the device's release.

What discrepancy? It says 700mhz AWS but T-Mobile uses 1700 for AWS.
AWS is a combination of the 1700 and 2100 bands. ATT is deploying LTE on both the AWS and 700 MHz bands. The question is if it can pick up UMTS on the AWS bands or not.
For what its worth, the internal ATT "coming soon" data sheets don't list AWS UMTS support.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
AWS bands service ranges from 1710 MHz to 2180 MHz. When talking about AWS bands they're talking about 1700/2100 MHz.
The Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) is in the 1710 – 1755 and 2110 – 2155 MHz spectrum range. The most common use of AWS spectrum is fixed and mobile voice and data services, including cell phone, text messaging, and Internet.

The discrepancy that I'm talking about is...
HTC Asia doesn't show AWS being listed on WCDMA, while HTC US does.

HTC US shows 700/AWS... I don't think it means 700 mhz AWS, it could be possible that it means 700/AWS(1700 or 2100). If we base on FCC's definition of AWS, then 700/AWS defintely doesn't mean 700mhz AWS.

So the users that are going to use this device in the USA on AT&T or T-Mobile, where are you purchasing your device from in the states?
Also does anyone know if I were to use it on AT&T will I have to change the cellular settings or will the device pick up default settings on first boot. I remember there were different APN settings for AT&T and an unlocked device to give it access to faster DL speeds. Does anyone know?
Thanks in advance.
I also would like to know if the international version of One X is HSPA+ 42 mbps capable with T-mobile US?

No, it's not compatible with T-Mobile US 4G unless you're lucky enough to live in one of the few places where they're using 1900MHz. It'll work with AT&T data roaming at 4G, and it'll work as 2G on T-Mob's own network.
HTC ONE X specs from phone arena:
GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
UMTS 850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz
Data HSDPA+ (4G) 21.1 Mbit/s, HSUPA 5.76 Mbit/s, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS
UMTS on AT&T works at 850 and 1900 MHz so should be fine, I am not sure about t-mobile. it might work at 1700-2100 so could be kind of a problem...
regarding my personal experience, I have a european desire hd (on at&t), and in the bay area (SF) it gets no more than EDGE connection (I saw 3G icon couple of times ). However Desire HD doesn't work at 850 and 1900 MHz, whereas One X does so... should be fine on at&t.

Yep, as I said, there is no 4G on T-Mobile unless you roam to AT&T, or you're in one of a very small number of places in California where they've started using 1900MHz for T-Mob.
I'm trying to buy a GS3 from T-Mobile, but I need it to have AWS 1700/2100, because I'm on Wind Mobile in Canada. But looking on eBay it shows the GS3 to be GSM with no 1700 AWS frequencies. Although, GSM arena does show the following frequencies for the T-Mobile T999:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
But on TMobile's website it doesn't list 1700/2100 AWS, but it does show Band IV (AWS) which I believe is supposed to be 1700/2100 AWS. This is how it shows on the T-Mobile website:
Band (frequency): 850 MHz;900 MHz;1800 MHz;1900 MHz;UMTS: Band I (2100);UMTS: Band IV (AWS);UMTS: Band V (850)
But on ALL eBay listings it doesn't list Band IV (AWS) or 1700/2100 AWS. It shows the following:
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 (Quadband) HSPA+ 850/900/1900/2100
Can someone clarify if the T-Mobile version really has the 1700/2100 AWS frequencies? Appreciate all the help.
Yes. T-Mobile uses the 1700/2100 bands for Their HSPA+ network. It should work fine for you.

I think the OP's point was that all eBay listings have the phone listed as: GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 (Quadband) HSPA+ 850/900/1900/2100
If indeed all eBay listings show this, then those phones would not work on Wind. There is no 1700 in that frequency band description. So unless all these eBay sellers got the specs wrong (which would be a really big coincidence) or if indeed TMobile has more than one version, then those Tmobile USA branded phones will not work on Wind Mobile.
Update: I just took a quick look on eBay and all listings do indeed list the phone specs without the AWS 1700 spectrum. But Tmobile's website does show the UMTS Band IV listed in the GS3 specs. And Band IV is another name for AWS 1700/2100. But hey, if every eBay listing is not listing the AWS 1700 spectrum in the specs, then maybe T-Mobile does indeed have 2 different models.
They don't. (well they have 16gb and 32gb versions but, that's irrelevant to this discussion) Ebay sellers often cut and paste descriptions in their listings leaving people confused
T-Mobile uses the 1700/2100 bands. I should know, not only do I have THAT version of the SGSIII....but it must have those bands to get HSPA+ on T-Mobile's network. That's one of the reasons AT&T and most, international versions of phones (One X tegra 3 version comes to mind), ONLY GET EDGE.
The other option is that the listing is for the international SGSIII which IS NOT compatible with T-Mobile's HSPA+ network.

So AT&T's website finally has the Note II listed, I noticed it only lists it having Tri-Band 3G (850/1900/2100 MHz) as well as the FM Radio not being listed as a feature. You guys think this is just AT&T software disabling the extra band and the radio or what? I'm kind of disappointed as I was hoping AT&T wouldn't be gimping the Note this time around...
It lists LTE right at the top of the specs.

The N7105 does have LTE, but it doesnt support AT&T bands. The N7100 does not have LTE. Both versions are international.
So you were correct in thinking - don't feel stupid
There are 4 versions of Note:
1. International (+LTE): SGH-7100 / SGH -7105
2. SGH-i317 : ATT+(Rogers+Bell + Telus): HSPA 850/900/1900/2100, LTE: 700/850/1700/1900
3. SCH-i605 : CDMA + LTE 700
4. SGH-T889 : T-Mobile+Mobilicity+Wind : HSPA: 850/900/1700/1900/2100, LTE: 700, 1700
These are from FCC filings

Some info in this thread is just plain contradiction. For example, the above two quoted posts contradict to each other. Is AT&T tri-band or quad-band UMTS after all?
It comes down to what to believe, because FCC filings contradicts to what people say and what cellphone website says. For example, phonearena lists the band specs of i-317 as this:
GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz / UMTS 850, 1900, 2100 MHz / LTE 700 MHz Class 17, 1700/2100 MHz
Here, i-317 is quad-band GSM and tri-band 3G (not what FCC filing says).
Also, the website lists T889 as this:
GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz / UMTS 850, 1700/2100, 2100 MHz / NO LTE
Here, T889 has 3G 850, AWS, 2100, which also is not what FCC filing says, besides there is no LTE support.
Some information here has got to be misinformation, but which one is it?

I agree on the contradiction for sure, what FCC tested vs what is being listed are different. The OP I had had the links to the FCC filings as well but I guess they we against the rules because mods removed the links.
Ye I wasn't giving doubt on the credibility of your source. It's just that i'm kind of confused by all kinds of information. Both phonearena and pdadb (checked just now) shows that T889 has no LTE support and even more interesting, pdadb lists i317 as quad-band UMTS, which phonearena lists as tri-band... I know it sounds like a nerd but it's driving me crazy as I'm doing research and decide on which version to get LOL
For now, I guess I'll only need to know if it's ever possible to flash N7100 rom onto i317 or T889, if not, i'm giving up LTE and stay with faster/earlier European OTA updates, like *DBT* :good:
I was wondering if I purchase an unlocked HTC one, will it work with Verizon?
You have to see the frequencies of the carrier
But, probably, yes!
in a word, no.
It has no CDMA radio, which is required for voice. Not to mention VZW hasn't ever let you bring a device to their network from the outside.

VZW uses two different technologies.
the voice is carried on CDMA as is their 3G EVDO data.

Hi, it looks like I'm reviving this thread...
I've done a bit of homework and on htc.com the One specs are as follows:
2G/2.5G - GSM/GPRS/EDGE:

AT&T: 850/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 21 Mbps
Sprint: 1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 14.4 Mbps
3G - CDMA:
800/1900 MHz for Sprint
4G - LTE:
Europe/ Middle East/ Africa: 800/1800/2600 MHz
Asia: 1800/2600 MHz
T-Mobile (US)/ AT&T/ Canada/ Latin America: 700 MHz and AWS band
Sprint: 1900 MHz
On the Samsung Galaxy S4 for Verizon:
LTE, CDMA/1xEVDO Rev. A (800/1900 MHz)
Global Network: EDGE/GSM (850/900/1800/1900), HSPA/UMTS(850/900/1900/2100)
It looks to me like the phone supports all ranges and has both styles/types of radios. Has anyone been able to get an unlocked One working with Verizon? Does anyone know how to do it? If I buy an unlocked One, would it come packed with all the network support as listed above or do they manufacture them with only a specific radio/frequency range in mind?

Stop nope, just no.
Verizon and Sprint use CDMA as their base on their Network. The only HTC One with CDMA is the Sprint version. But you can't use the Sprint version on Verizon.
That's why when the Sprint version was released developers had to tweak their roms and recoveries since the outside was the same but the insides no.
Yes LTE is gsm based and requires a GSM radio. And yes when the Verizon HTC one is released it can be used on TMo and AT&T. Since it has both CDMA & GSM radios.
But NO NO NO you CAN NOT use a AT&T, T-Mobile, Dev Edition,Sprint, or Iternational HTC One on Verizon.

which is required for voice.
Until Voice over LTE is fully implemented voice is still falling back into CDMA.

Thanks for your help! I realized I was misunderstanding the way those specs were written, thinking a single phone carried all those ranges and could work equally across the board.
I'm leaning towards getting an unlocked phone for T-Mobile. Any suggestions on where to get it from? If I get it from T-Mobile then it will likely have bloat on it which I don't care for. I could get it from Google Play or HTC's shopamerica...Is there an "easy" way to determine whether or not a phone will fully function on a particular network? Clearly my line of thinking on just making sure the frequency ranges match up is rather off!
Depends what freq your carrier uses for 3G etc. Only the international and dev edition are bloat free. But your at xda there are threads all over the place to help you debloat.
Again T-Mobile is the only one with 1700 3G band.
The dev doesn't have 1700, but has other extra bands. And the international lacks LTE.
Only Verizon will sell their version of the ONE. All the others are all over the internet.

So if I travel internationally and want to have the use of LTE, it sounds like I would need to get the unlocked "international" One? If the so-called "developer" version of the One doesn't have the 1700 band, will one of the other bands take over/compensate? In other words, will the developer phone still be fully functional? I also assume that by "developer" phone you're referring to both the unlocked 32 and 64Gb phones sold at shopamerica.com?
Lastly, here's what I'm doing: I want to buy a phone that I can use in the US and if I travel to Canada, I want to make sure it is compatible with their networks too so all I would need to do is pick up a new sim card and be off to the races. If I'm understanding everything, then the phone on shopamerica should be sufficient.
Any thoughts? Thanks again for the help! I've never dealt with network matching and unlocked phones. Can you tell?!
Stick with the developer edition since it offers more 3G bands ... LTE outside the US it would depend if whatever carrier you use on that country uses any any of the LTE bands it supports.
A lot of the major carriers around the world use similar 3G bands most will work on this phone. Again it all depends on which carried you use.

Hey guys, I've looked at some threads because I wanted to know how to make my Verizon HTC one work with ATT HSPA+. I've read that its possible, but im not sure how to go about it. I've tried changing APN's witth no luck. Would appreciate some help.
Other info--
currently getting EDGE-- which is very slow (takes about 30 seconds go load up google.)
Running on SlimKat 4.4.2

[SIZE=+1]Q2: can I SIM unlock this phone for other carriers?[/SIZE]
The m7wlv comes SIM unlocked out of the box. It only works on certain frequencies. See if your carrier supports the below frequencies.
CDMA: 800/1900MHZ,
UMTS/HSPA: 900/2100MHz,
GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900MHz,
LTE: 700MHz (Band 13)(only Verizon uses this LTE band thus far)

Those frequencies are directly from HTC's website in the device's specs. HSPA can only work on 900 or 2100 mhz. ATT uses 850 or 1900. (Source http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=14003)
