Seems like atrix hd has proper bands to do so.

Only if we can unlock it.
I didn't check the article, but I know AT&T uses the 1700mhz band for their LTE. Unless there is a modem we can flash similar to the Note or Skyrocket, you want get the fast connection on this phone. But I could be wrong.

any confirmation on if this will work?
has anyone been able to confirm this phone will work on Tmobile with HSPA+?
Yes. It gets T-Mobile HSPA+21, not 42. I'm running it.
Please search. Already a thread about this in Q&A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794309 . On the first page, too.
Thanks for confirmation. 21mb/s is good enough for me. That's the internet speed at my house lol

3G/4G works flawlessly on tmobile. I'm using it now... in Chicago I'm seeing constant 13-20 MB down 11-13 up...that's almost LTE ish and perfect for me
Got it for $190... can't buy anything without negotiating
its in pretty good shape.. not perfect, but after i throw a case on it and screen protector, good as new.
Any suggestions on where i should unlock this thing? suggestions for a case?

In case anyone is interested. I've gotten around 4-5mb download and around 3mb upload speeds with T-Mobile in the US, which is the same speeds I get with my current phone, MyTouch 4G.
I was wondering if I would get the same speeds because one phone is 3g and the other 4g but you do get the same speed because the 3g phone is supporting 14.4mb downloads and 5.76mb uploads. So, one phone being 4g and the other 3g is not making any difference.

That's because 4g on T-mobile US is just a marketing term and the rest of the world still calls it 3g. So imported 3g phone from Europe = T-mobile US 4g.

Anyone with Total Internet (and in a "4g" zone) tried this? I got a G2 recently with the free upgrade, but of course it's IMEI is blocked and I haven't updated the plan yet. So, the phone is sitting unused. If the S works with Total Internet, I'd prolly just ebay the G2 and pick one of these up.

Yea, the Thrill can work on T-Mobile if you've unlocked it. However it can only run on its 2G network.
If you want to get cheaper and don't mind the slow data speeds, you can get the Thrill and unlock it.
For me, i bought mine here and it's able to access T-Mobile's 3G network. More pricey, but if money didn't matter I think its a better choice. Its also a safe purchase, I checked them out and they have a real store and certified by the Better Business Bureau

Be careful though, because the Rogers branded Optimus 3D (marketed as the Optimus 3D as well, no cheesy marketing name like 'Thrill') does not have T-Mo's 1700 band. I believe the international Optimus 3D does have the proper bands though.
Getting a Rogers O3D would be quite difficult to even get.
Awesome. Thank you for the input. One more question, you mentioned something about the bands. Can they be flashed like Roms or am I wrong? I no Tmobile is on the 1700 and att is at 1900 if I'm not mistaken.

Not all the unlocked Optimus 3D that you find internationally supports T-Mobile's 3G network.
Search around and make sure you pay attention to the 3G network bands. Don't worry about the 2G Network bands because those are bound to work for both T-Mobile and AT&T. Just make sure the one you purchase includes 1700. If it helps, the ebay link I gave earlier is where I got my phone.
Also the bands can't be flashed through a rom. The bands are from hardware... you're stuck with it once you purchase your phone.

Pretty much I was gonna say.
Eventually there will most likely be an Unlock Solution for this phone that doesn't cost money persay unless you want to donate. As it stands you could always contact one of those remote unlocking sites and get it unlocked. Either way though there will most likely be an unlock solution it's just too early in the game to get it for this phone.

The Tmo Note has the same guts as the ATT version. I really don't think the N7000 will ever have Tmo high speed data. That is of course unless you live in an area where tmo has refarmed their 1900mhz to also use 3g data. It really is too bad because I want to use the 3g data on my Int Note too.
And aaronuser, I am sorry but that is why we have rules for the forums. Otherwise it is just clutter.
since they use different network so you only got 2g ( like my gt7000 ).But my friend just got a AT&T unlock for Tmobile at dealer in CA which able to use 3/4g with little trick...Hope this help :victory:

Can you tell me (or better yet show me) what the Sprint HTC One compares to lets say a Sprint GS3 or other Sprint LTE device with regards to LTE reception. Really what I would like to see is the RSRP (dBm) values of each device sitting side by side. I myself have an HTC EVO LTE and love the (almost) all metal construction that HTC did with the phone. The one thing I do not like however, is the LTE performance. 3G is great and on par with other devices, but I want to make sure HTC fixed this in the HTC one before I buy it.
Thanks in advance!

Wow, they actually put earbuds in with this phone. I haven't gotten a pair of earbuds with a new phone from Sprint since my Touch Pro (Maybe the Touch Pro2).
I was actually wondering how it works with roaming. Is it possible you can force it to roam for a moment? Or is that a root only function (been on a rooted phone too long). I don't expect LTE to roam, but I also don't recall seeing any info about a 2g/1x radio onboard. There's a little get-away I go to often in the summer that has no Sprint coverage and hoping I'm not bringing a paperweight every time I go.
Is the phone unlocked? It has a slot for a microsim, correct?

I'm sure it won't be far from now when it gets a carrier unlock. I know it's probably that way because of the law, but when they pass the new bill, it'll be allowed.

Can you try the following dialer codes to see if they work?
##DEBUG# (##33284#)
##DATA# (##3282#)
*#*#INFO#*#* (*#*#4636#*#*)
If DEBUG works, can you see if there is an “LTE Engineering” menu to view the RSRP/RSRQ values? These values are also in the “Phone information” menu if the INFO code works.
If the INFO code does not work, would you mind downloading the following app?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mangelow.network
Basically, it’s a shortcut to the “Phone information” menu that you would find through INFO, but if they killed the dialer code, this might be the only way to access it (assuming the menu itself is still there).
I’m sorry, I know this is kind of a lot, but a lot of people are going to be eager to find out if they can use this phone for field testing to see if it’s a better RF performer than the EVO LTE. Thanks in advance!
Adrian, can you enlighten us as to the storage space? Under Settings/Storage. Some of us are wanting to know how much User Accessible space is available to store music, movies, photos, etc.

Not by default, but you should be able to request AT&T to unlock the device while on contract with them like you would with any other device, at which point you could get a micro sim from T-Mobile instead. You would likely need to pay an ETF to AT&T though, if you want to terminate your service with them after buying the phone, assuming you bought the phone on subsidy/contract.
Well I just called At&t and HTC they are both not able to unlock.

Did you purchase it off-contract? If not, they definitely can't unlock it for you. However, if they did, I'd call back in a few weeks. IIRC it takes a bit before they get unlock codes.

This device is exclusive to AT&T for the first month of its life, later to be released to T-Mobile and Verizon I'd wager.
Until this exclusivity is up, the phone will remain carrier-unlockable.

Also hoping for clarification
Definitely wanting this phone but not trying to pay $80/mo. at AT&T when I can go prepaid at T-Mo. There's some confusing overlap between bands that I'm not entirely sure how to take apart. Here's from GSMarena's specs:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 - for AT&T
4G Network LTE 700 / 1700 / 2100
Is there a band-limited version specifically for AT&T? And does the lack of 1700/2100 in 3G networks on the First prevent that from working?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_USA#Radio_frequency_spectrum_chart
For those wondering - AT&T is selling this guy for $350 in store, no contract right now. If you bring in an older working smartphone (I have one or two lying around) they'll give you $100 off - so that's $250. Sign up for their cheapest talk-only plan, $25/mo, then cancel right away and take it on over to T-Mobile, you got yourself a nice $50-$60 plan, and according to the T-mo guy, LTE and everything. I'm about to pull the trigger this weekend.

I'm thinking of getting the First as a 2nd phone so that when my Nexus 4 is dead or charging I can use the First and just move my T-Mo SIM between them. My job requires i do a lot of phone time, I wish they had a better battery for the N4, I love it but it feels like a small battery.

And does the lack of 1700/2100 in 3G networks on the First prevent that from working?

I've read that that the 1700 and 2100 are needed for data to work. I've compared a lot of phones on phonescoop and all the T-Mobile phones have 17 & 21 frequencies.

If you have root, you can also get the unlock code off mmcblk0p6 for free.

Thought I should just update to say that my AT&T First works just fine with T-Mobile, once I put in the correct APN settings (which may differ for your area? best to google).
Paired with their $30 100 minute /unlimited everything plan, this is looking to be a real solid setup.

When you say "it works fine," do you mean "I can make/receive calls/messages" or "I get 3G+ speeds, plus all the other stuff". ANY phone that takes a sim card will "work just fine" with T-mobile, but that's not the point of having a smartphone.
I'm guessing the only way to get "4G" is if you live in the refarmed areas.

Is this on AT&T or T-Mobile?
