Hi to all,

I don't see any thread regards the possibility for a 3G phone into a 4G.
Maybe its a silly thought, can it be possible?
does to days phone have the same chip or chipset for a 4G, may be its disabled?, or need to have a 4G simcard?, or is it if you want a 4G phone, you need to buy new phone all together.

Wait to hear your thoughts.:cool:

as far as i know 4g is available in USA and in UK, so we are talking about LTE, our ordinary Seny doesent have LTE mobo installed. And ordinary Seny have same mobo as 4G - LTE module

Thanks for the reply dublinz.

So LTE and 4G are both different systems? does this mean for a 3G network phone to be close as a 4G it becomes an LTE?

Ok let me rephrase my question from my first post. Let say there is a
HTC sensation 4G and a HTC sensation XE with beats audio(which is dead at the moment:(). As you know other HTC devices didn't have the capability to have Beats Audio, know nearly all HTC's phones have that function thanks to the Dev teams.

Now, for the 4G or LTE, can it be emulated in a 3G phone so it can use the 4G networks. Let say some Dev team see what chip or software in a HTC Sensation 4G which is present, and it can be emulated in one way or another, or make some kind of a virtual software to have the 4G in a HTC sensation Xe for example;).

Wait to here you're comments.

Your logic will be plausible if Sensation 4g doesent have extra module (hardware part) on its mobo. So Dev cant create virtual LTE board (my opinion), otherwise trust me HTC will implement it (you know fight for the buck ) You probably heard that Sensation 4G wont have ICS upgrade until June, it is down to LTE driver that create problems….

If you're talking about the 4g that T-Mobile claims (hspa+) then the xe has it as does the international sensation as does the T-Mobile sensation.

As for 4g-lte or 4g-wimax (sprint), no sensation has a possibility of even emulating this. It's just not built into the SoC.
