[Fhenrus]

Hi guys! I wanted to know if anyone of you who bought this product knows if it can receive Band 4 LTE (AWS) Thank you a lot! Just about to buy it but didn't know if it received and I really want LTE in my country.

I don't have the link handy, but if you go to HTC's website and look at their blog, they released a chart showing the different models and what bands they had. They did that around the announcement of the Google edition, so not too far back. It was very helpful.

According to this article, as long as your device is unlocked and international you can use any LTE band even if it doesn't work out of the box by flashing a different radio; it's not as complicated as it sounds, trust me. lol

Also this is the link I sent you before, just for future reference. HTC One variants [U/UL/WL] - xda-developers

As you can see, U/UL are almost identical in everything and they work on each other's bands just fine either out of the box or by a little tweaking (in that case radios), the only one that is completely different is Sprint's CDMA, of course.

EDIT: Damn! I believe the answer was right in front of our eyes the whole time. Amazon.com: Questions And Answers: What are the 3G bands supported by this phone?

Make the order dude!

Thank you! The problem is how to know if a device is a certain model without having the box or papers :/

Wow.. I can't believe it's been there all along and we never bothered to check it - and I believe you posted a question there actually? Hahaha! Anyway I sure am glad this is sorted. Best of luck, man and I hope you enjoy your device. By the way, since it's brand new, I suggest you thoroughly check the device for any tiny gaps on the top or the bottom because that seems to be a common issue. Also run the HTC hardware test to make sure everything is working properly: *#*#3424#*#* just dial that code; it is a fairly long test, but you need to make sure everything is well anyway!

Oh ok man thank you! where do I dial that code? and how do the gaps look?

Here are pictures I found on XDA with the gaps and other defects shown:

thats bull****. go to any store and do a warranty exchange.
a device in warranty is replaced by sending you one first, then you mail yours back within the week.

you can't get an in-store swap unless its within 30 days.

here are a few pics of my t-mobile one.

And also the gap is shown here: HTC One Design Flaw - Gap Between Screen Bezel and Chassis from the Top! - YouTube

As for the HTC Hardware/Function Test, you just dial that code from the Phone application, as though you are dialing a telephone number and it will start automatically.

Surely man! Thank you so much, will run the test and check the device, will let you know, already paid for it, will arrive in a week or two.
