[HTC One S] malcontent510:
From what I've read, I believe the answer is "close but no cigar." Am I right? Or should we expect this device to work pretty well at grabbing onto HSDPA signals, but with a little higher battery drain, since the radio would have to work harder?

I have been considering pre-ordering an unlocked, black HTC One S (MAO model) from either Negri Electronics or Expansys, but I don't want to waste my time & money if this phone is, quite literally, a non-starter on the T-Mobile US network.

I'm a former CDMA subscriber and I've only been with TMo for 8-9 months. This would also be my first unlocked phone purchase, so thanks in advance for any insight you guys can offer.
[HTC One S] unclespoon:
I'm just going to wait and buy it from T-Mobile. Yeah I'll pay full retail but I'll sell my old phone to cover most of the cost; that's kind of how I do my upgrades! I just don't want to worry about it not working. I think it needs 1700 and 2100 bands for 3G/4G to work.
[HTC One S] malcontent510:
@unclespoon - I hear you, but I'm interested in the black model, which is "micro arc oxidized." I understand that TMoUS is only selling the gradient anodized model. We shall see.

Anyone else with an idea about the likely performance of that unlocked international model on TMo AWS?
[HTC One S] malcontent510:
Here's the answer to my question from Myriam Joire (@tnkgrl) of @Engadget, via Twitter:

"@malcontent510 the Euro version won't. The US version will. Both are tri-band, one without AWS."​
[HTC One S] NardVa:
I don't see any reason why the International version will not support AWS band. Both phones have the same qualcomm chip.
[HTC One S] jessejames111981:
it would be silly. The only difference should be the tmobile branding and bloatware. I thought the idea of only three models is to reduce the number of phones you have out there.
[HTC One S] malcontent510:
TWO different models of the One S: PJ40110 / PJ58100

I am hoping that there is no difference, but I was just quoting what Myriam from Engadget told me. I have since learned on Wikipedia that T-Mobile's HSDPA frequencies (namely "1700 MHz/2100 MHz UMTS AWS") are not specifically listed as covered by the antenna in the international version. The appropriate frequencies may, in fact still be covered, but according to both Negri Electronics and GSM Arena, the unlocked international version does not list them.

2G Network	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network	HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100​

I hope this is either not the case or not a show-stopper.

Edit: I now see a 3/12/2012 article from Engadget which indicates there are actually TWO distinctly different ONE S models:

HTC PJ40110

HTC PJ58100

WTF?
[HTC One S] invasion2:
So if I buy a One S from the UK, will I only get edge? Or 3G? Thanks! Hoping to buy this phone in December when I'm due for an upgrade :)
[HTC One S] malcontent510:
@invasion2 - that is what I've been asking and which seems to remain an open question. Other than Myriam's tweet (above), no one has attempted to directly answer that question.

[HTC One S] kaeruil:
Ok, sorry for going off topic a tad here but, can you (malcontent510 or anyone who knows of this) link your source for that info...for if it is true then I now have to go back to the drawing board for my idea on which phone I will be getting soon.
[HTC One S] malcontent510:
@kaeruil - I based my assumption on the HTC website, here:

http://www.htc.com/us/products/htcones-tmobile

FWIW, I also refer you to the gradient anodized model which was featured in the leaked video of 3/27/2012 from a YouTube poster who said his unbranded [pre-release] phone was a T-Mobile model.
[HTC One S] invasion2:
Haha thanks. Don't know why no one is answering :p
[HTC One S] kaeruil:
@malcontent510 - thanks, now that you pointed it out, don't know how I didn't notice that...guess I need some new glasses as well as a new cell
[HTC One S] TramainM:
The version the clove is selling does support them http://www.clove.co.uk/htc-one-s
[HTC One S] malcontent510:
No. Unfortunately, the international model (including the one mentioned above) sold by Clove does not cover the 1700MHz frequency -- the TMobile US AWS frequency. The end result being that this phone would not support HSPA on TMo.
[HTC One S] invasion2:
OK sorry for being off topic, but I'm a bit confused. The One S will or will not support SD/SIM Cards? Because isn't the SD/SIM your phone number? That confuses me. And is there even a difference between SD and SIMs? Thanks! Again, sorry for the off topic. If you want me to I will create my own topic.
[HTC One S] thos25:
So. I may be leaving Sprint and my Evo 3D behind to go to T-mo. I was planning on grabbing an unlocked ONE S. I am not experienced with unlocked gsm phones coming from Sprint and all...

Expansys shows 850/900/1900/2100.

If I understand correctly, t mobile 3g is on the 1700 band. 4g is on the 1900 band. So we would get 4g (hspa+) but not any 3g...

I was planning on the gradient metal version. I don't want to get stuck with a ceramic blue version from T-MOBILE...
[HTC One S] rbeier1221:
SIM and SD is not the same thing at all. SD cards (in this case micro SD) are for storage.
[HTC One S] NardVa:
That's interesting considering the international model and US model carry the same Qualcomm chip. In theory both phones should support the same bands.
[HTC One S] thos25:
Just got off phone with expansys, they confirmed that it is NOT compatible with T-MOBILE 3G.
[HTC One S] NardVa:
Looks like the black one want work with Tmobile 3G/4G. Wonder if it's gone be the same for the International grey version. The grey one will technically be the Tmobile version.
[HTC One S] thos25:
Ok. So like I said, coming from a cdma phone...admittedly don't know much about gsm or unlocked phones. I originally thought gsm phones were all compatible. however I recently found out that while the phones will allow for voice compatibility, the 3g operated on different bands and were often times not compatible. so I researched a bit, but still a little lost.

From what I understand T-Mobile uses 850 for 2g. 1700 for 3g and 4g and 1900 is for 2g and 4g. This phone lacks 1700, so no 3g. But should still have 4g.

What confuses me is the article on engadget saying that the international phone won't work on any US 3G network because it lacks the 1900 band. For one, I show that it does have a 1900 band. Second, it is my understanding that AT&T uses 850 & 1900 for both 2g and 3g with a 700 lte band.

So, is Engadget wrong? Did they mean to say lacks a 1700 band? But even so, that would only stop it from working on t-mobile 3g. wouldn't this work on AT&T 3g by utilizing the 850 and 1900 bands?

Like I said, forgive me but I'm not too knowledgeable about all the different bands and what they mean yet.

Edit: forgive me but the article which stated it wouldn't work on any US 3g network for lack of the 1900 was on pcmag.
[HTC One S] Funk2641:
It'll only support TMo 3G if you're lucky enough to be in an area where the 1900mhz band is deployed. Otherwise, no. The international version is quadband (850/900/1900/2100), so it supports all of ATT's bands.

http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-one-s/#specs

Honestly, if you're a TMo customer, it's best to wait for their version.
[HTC One S] thos25:
Strange. Expansys-usa shows 850/900/1900/2100 but the HTC website shows only 850/900/2100.
[HTC One S] malcontent510:
UPDATE:

According to TmoNews, Tmobile is going to release the black "micro arc oxidized" version of the One S in June 2012. This would obviate the need to purchase an international version & trying to make it work on my network.

[HTC One S] mikelward:
The link says

Which, if true, means it only fully supports AT&T's 2G service.

(I've tried a phone that supports 850 but not 1900 on AT&T in New York before, and it was terrible. Couldn't make calls half the time even though I had full bars.)
[HTC One S] joshnichols189:
It will not get T-Mobile 3G. T-Mobile doesn't have 4G either, it is still just 3G just a bit faster.

T-Mobile uses 1700 AND 2100 mhz bands for 3G/"4G", and the international version does not have this combination. It will receive 3G on T-Mobile in some areas of California that have the 1900mhz band refarmed for 3G and that is it.

There might be an answer somewhere in the forum, but i have no time searching (i would if i could) So please be nice and dont yell at me =[

So....

I used to have CF-Root Kernel installed with a xwjs8 rom installed.

Probably shouldnt have done it, but i upgraded my kernel to Semaphore 2.5bm using odin.

after that my phone didnt boot.... Decided to use odin again and flash semaphore jvt 1.8 and installing a jvt rom. Everything worked...

But i had no recovery mode... tried flashing CWM... It just didnt work.

After surrendering i just flashed the old kernel that worked, and now, my phone just refuses to boot, or go into recovery =[

I can still get in download mode...

Is there a way to just go back to a stocky begining...? just so ill know my phone isnt bricked for life.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishangoyal:
Either use sammobile.com to download the latest stock firmware for your phone and flash using odin or use the following link to get a rooted 2.3.6 GB rom with CWM recovery

2. go to "mounts and storage"

3. mount /data /sdcard /system /es-ext

4. then go to "advanced" and "fix premissions"

(u should get fix_premissions.log on each partition where "fix premissions" was done..)

and i think thats good idea to update Recovery mod to version 5.0.2.0 and also keep updated the SuperUser..

download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/

(search for "buzz" and u will get what u need)

Hi all

It has bee a while since my last post. But I hope you can help me to know in this new one.

I have an Xperia X10 with android 2.3 but lately it is very slow in almost everithing, e.i: at the moment to write some text, to make a call, etc. and I was thinking to re-flash it to Andorid 2.3 again to make it faster.

However, I saw that a new Android was released. The Andoid 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). So, I was wondering if is there already a version to this Android for the Xperia X10?

If so, could you give me a url where I can download it?

I've flashed my Xperia X10 the last time, however I'm not sure if for the new Android the steps to follow are different.

Any clue, you can write would be helpful.

Thanks in advance
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Phil Muir:
Hi there. Think this may be what you are looking for. It's still in development. Tried it on my Xperia Pro however, there are still issues with WI-FI here on the CM9 ROM. Went back to CM7 until this is sorted out. You will find CM7 and CM9 ROM's here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445819

Note: if CM9 doesn't work out then, you could always reflash the boot. You will have to do that anyway before putting any of these ROM'S on. You are best to flash the boot.img each time you change out from CM7 to CM9 etc. Once you have flashed the boot.img then, it's the usual routine. Boot into Clockwork Mod and take it from there. Freel free to give me a shout if you need anything else.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MGDP:
From what I know, Android 4 isn't fully supported on the Xperia X10, it will run but many features won't work (for example, the camera).

I'd suggest you to do some research (Google is your friend... oh and XDA) before upgrading. It might make your phone even slower.
