[Q] *** Unlokced Sensation dispplaying "E" only ! ***

[doin-it]

Ok, I just picked up a T-mob Sensation. It's unlocked but afer tossing my at&t sim card in it, its only displaying "E" I've tried a tinkering in the settings but no luck. To my understanding this isn't an issue with the Canda version, but thats no help to me being i dont have the Candian version.

I'm coming from an unlocked T-mobil unlocked Vibrant that I've used for a while now w/ an at&t sim & have always been able to get 3G/H. Is there a work around for this on the Sensation ? Or am I simply screwed & have to resell it ? I love the phone & have wanted it for a while now but cant deal with only being stuck on EDGE. Thanks

Hi,

It could just be that a radio upgrade is all you need.

The Tmobile Sensation only has AWS bands. It does not support the 3G bands of AT&T. The Vibrant on the other hand had all the bands.

yeah, no matter what you do.. you won't get 3G using the tmob bands and yes, it's an issue to canada versions. If I used it right now (on Rogers) I would also only get Edge. the only companies I would get 3G on are the new companies using the AWS bands such as mobilicity/wind/etc. The big 3 would have an issue!

That's weird that you've been using t-mobs vibrant.. maybe someone else can enlighten us!
