software changes won't pick up what your phone cannot see. If the phone's hardware radio cannot see that 3g band, then you won't be able to use it.

them, how can I see which bands my phone can see? because it looks like T-mobile HD7 does't support all the bands that HTC show in the Web.

The HTC HD7 T9292 supports UMTS 900/2100

The HTC HD7 T9296, supports UMTS 850/2100

for other UMTS850 high-end devices, see my signature

Almost (95%). But u can find this data in some australian forums, such as

http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1552579


Your T-Mobile-U.S. HD7 seems to show "T9296" only for the Telstra NoDo Upate (as when you flash your device, the original device information is owerwritten, although the radio bands are not altered, because these are hardware-dependant)

Another fact, is that I´ve NEVER seen TMoUS HTC devices with "T" or "A" nomenclature (such as T9193, A8182...)



If you want to use an HD7 in 3G in Dominican Republic, I Think you must:

-Use an HD7 T9292 (European, including T-Mobile Europe) in Orange D.R.
-Use an HD7 T9295 (American) in Claro D.R.
(or eventually use an REAL T9296 there, but ONLY in case if Claro D.R. uses ONLY 3G-850; and NOT 3G-1900)
-Not Sure for Trilogy, but an HD7 T9295 must work in 3G (if Trilogy has 3G in 1900 or 850MHz)


Best regards

AT&T HTC HD7S T9295 3G support in European Union

Can I flash radio from european HTC HD7 T9292 to my AT&T HTC HD7S T9295 for UMTS 900/2100 support? (Original radio from AT&T HTC HD7S T9295 supports only UMTS850/1900, so 3G doesn't work in EU)

First question: Why is this thread in the OS-wide forum at all? It belongs in the HD7 forum.

Second, no @simploid, you cannot (or at least should not). The HD7 and HD7S are not the same device; there's enough difference that a ROM for one will not work entirely correctly on the other.

I have an HTC T9295 bought in the US, currently used in India. Im able to connect only through Edge and not 3G. I have tried various operators, still no use. Can anyone suggest me how to get 3G for my mobile. OS is Win 7.5

Use the Connection Setup app on the phone, and make sure you select the right carrier (it may auto-detect, but if it does, make sure it's correct).

Also, be aware that the US version of the HD7, which is intended for T-Mobile US's network, may not use the same 3G bands as your operator. There are at least 4 radio frequency bands commonly used for 3G, but most phones support only a subset of them and most carriers only use a subset of them. If those two subsets don't overlap, then you can't get 3G unless you either switch phones or switch carriers.

Then there's no hope for us to get 3g on htc hd7 if you bought a phone in a different country with different band lol
