TD2 on Rogers, Canada

My new Touch Diamond 2 /T5353/ would not work with Rogers 3G network.
It works on EDGE only.
Tried everything I know to no success. Any help you guys can offer?

That's because Diamond 2 only support 900/2100 MHz HSDPA, and 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE
and Rogers uses 850 MHz, so, it will work on EDGE only

I agree, and confirm. But don't worry, Roger's 3G network is goddamn awful. there is like, no gain over EDGE, actually, here in montreal, EDGE is faster than 3G most of the time.

how do i get my 3g connection to work?

so i bought a unlocked phone on ebay bout a few months from now. i live in canada, also im in rogers network and everything works fine except my connection. i can only go 2g/edge speed but not 3g!! i have a t-mobile phone unlocked.. anybody know what i can do to get a 3g connection? do i need to install a new image or rom!!!!? please help

You may be out of luck on 3G. To the best of my knowledge, I believe Roger's 3G network runs on the 850 and 1900 MHz bands. However, the G1 runs on T-Mobile's 1700 and 2100 MHz bands. So Edge is the best you'll get (speed-wise).

T-Mobile's rollout of UMTS in the US will focus on the 2100/1700 MHz bands, whereas UMTS coverage in Canada is being provided on the 850 MHz band of the Rogers Wireless network. I think 1900 was added later as well.
My HTC HD is edge (2G only). But I use a lot of WiFi when ever possible.

[Q] HD7 doesn't has 3G connection due to different frequencies???

Hi, I got a new HD7 which is unlocked version from italy, now I'm in US using ATT, but it doesn't has 3G connection, only edge connection which is a big "E" sign.
I checked the italy HTC site that the frequecy is following:
HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
and for ATT HD7S, frequency is :
UMTS 1900/850
GSM/GPRS/AT&T 850/900/1800/1900MHz
So how can I get 3G on ATT?
is it possible to flash ATT's rom on my phone to enable 3G in US?
or it is hardware limitation?
Thanks in advanced.

No, it is not possible to enable 3g on your phone.
3G is HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz in Europe and UMTS 1900/850 in the US.
So you you have device for europe only.

T-Mobile uses 1700mhz for 3G, which AT&T doesn't support.

HTC One have T-Mobile hspa+?

Does the HTC One have hspa+ on T-Mobile? It doesn't have the 1700 band. I live in an area that doesn't have LTE but has hspa+ and hasn't refarmed the 1900 band so I would be stuck on 2g in this case?

Yes, you would be stuck with edge (2g) until the reframed network is live. Purchase the device from T-Mobile, it will have the 1700 band

Yes, that's what I was asking. So the T-Mobile version of HTC One has the 1700 band and will work with hspa+? I can't find the specs for the t-mo version anywhere. I guess we'll know for sure when it actually comes out.

of course the tmobile version will have the 1700 band. why wouldnt they? they dont want people be on 2g speeds now...
You probably looked at the dev edition (which is a att version).

Problem with TMobile phone is the 32gb ;/
I would love to get my hands on 64gb HTC One but it doesn't have the hspa+ aka 1700 band
Now I have been told you might be able to flash a radio but it has yet to be confirmed whether this is really possible or not.
Sadly I will be force to buy a S4 because of this issue. Unless someone can confirm hspa+ radio can be flashed on Dev Edition

I really hope someone creates a mod to Enable the Tmobile AWS band on the Unlocked HTC One, similiar to what they did for the ATT Galaxy Note 2. These high end phones have the hardware to work on the the various gsm frequencies, but they come disabled. Someone was able to figure it out on the galaxy note 2, but I have been searching and I don't see anyone working on a similiar solution for the HTC One. I guess time will tell. I've ordered an unlocked HTC One, and will test to see if I get 4g LTE in Chicago which is listed as a 1900 refarmed area. The consensus seems to be that if i'm in an area that does not have 4g lte i'll be reduced to 2g Edge speeds. This my friends...would suck donkey balls.

Same here. I ordered the unlocked ONE. I live in Houston which is refarmed 1900 also with lte. Had I known my dam phone would be delayed again I would have just waited for the tmobile version.

Your last statement about 4G LTE and 2G Edge speeds isn't necessarily true. I live in LA and we don't have LTE for T-mobile yet, however T-mobile has refarmed many of their towers around here to use the 1900MHz band so that you can get HSPA+ on phones that don't have 1700MHz support (like many AT&T phones and unlocked phones, like the HTC One Developer Edition). I received my HTC One Developer Edition today and drove around a bit here. While my phone doesn't have 1700MHz support, the screen still showed "H" for HSPA+ everywhere I went, and I tested speeds as high as around 9000kbps download. So being able to get 1900MHz HSPA+ is not tied directly to if an area has LTE or not.

3G on Sprint HTC ONE

I cant find any way to get 3g, i only get GSM, which sucks. these are the frequencies in my country for 3g 850 900 2100
any chance i can get it?
thanks in mind for helpers

The Sprint model can connect to the following frequencies (link):
2G/2.5G - GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
3G - UMTS/ HSPA: 1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 14.4 Mbps
3G - CDMA: 800/1900 MHz for Sprint
4G - LTE: Sprint: 1900 MHz

I'm assuming that when you say "3G," you're referring to HSPA and when you say "GSM," you mean 2G/EDGE. This means that the Sprint model can only connect to the 2100 MHz frequency in your country for 3G. I don't know how it works in your country, but in the US, some carriers only transmit on certain frequencies in some markets (areas). It may be that your carrier is not transmitting 2100 MHz in your area.
For example, in the US, T-Mobile transmits 3G on 1900 and 1700/2100 MHz. However, it doesn't do this everywhere in the country. In some areas, it will transmit 3G on all of those frequencies, but in other areas, it might only transmit on 1900 MHz because it doesn't have the license to transmit on 1700/2100 MHz in that specific area.
Basically, you need to find out if your carrier is actually transmitting 3G on 2100 MHz in your area. What country are you in and what carrier are you using, just out of curiosity?
