Has anyone unlocked their captivate? how did you do so, buy an unlock code? and has any one attempted to use it with tmobile tzones hack. since it is quad band, technically it should work with tmobile 3g and since tmobile doesnt have the imei's the tzones hack should theoretically work. i am just looking for conformation before i give up my nexus for this device.
any one have any insights?
No unlock yet. Check around the forums. It's being discussed here:

Sorry to bust your bubble, but the AT&T Samsung Captivate handles these 3G bands [3G UMTS/HSDPA (850/900/1900/2100 MHz)].
Notice that there is no 1700 (AWS) band, which is Tmobile's 3G band. So at most even if you successfully get it unlocked you'll be limited to 2.5G EDGE only on Tmobile, no 3G.

true, I have unlocked Captivate with my T-Mobile SIM from work and it shows only Edge anywhere, even next to cell tower at work where I was getting full bars 3G on MyTouch.
Is there any way around it?
So does this phone work with Tzone or Web2Go including GPS and push email? Thanks
I have my Captivate unlocked and its working on T-Mobile, except for data
Anyone know what the APN settings might be that work? The T-Mobile SIM I have in the phone has a data plan attached to it. Ive tried all the APN's I could find on the web (at least 4 variations) and none seem to give me EDGE. I know the 3G wont work, but Im just curious about getting at least the EDGE to work.
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: It seems one of the APNs worked for me, I just had to restart the phone after entering it.
i have an un-captivate.. everything seems to work fine but yes.. only 2g's
incredible phone.. im on wifi most of the time.
what do you mean by your data doesnt work?

Thanks for the reply. I edited my post, it started working after I restarted the phone. Originally it was showing full service but no Edge icon, thus nothing data related was working (almost everything, haha). Voice calls in and out were fine, but nothing else. Once I restarted the phone it fired up and was on Edge just fine. I have since swapped back to my AT&T sim because Im evaluation their service in my area, but I wanted to know it would work on T-Mobile in case I cancel AT&T so I can keep the phone

The link I posted above your quote has a MMS/MMSC address in it.
This was all formatted for use on an iPhone so I'm not sure how the fields differ on the Captivate. But good luck to you all trying to get it working.

I got a Skyrocket this morning, however I did not opt for a new sim because I am in a non-LTE area. But I later realized that although I can make calls, I cannot receive calls, texting does work but data does not and I have no MMS. I set up a new APN using the same settings I had used on my Infuse 4G and now everything works except for MMS. Although I changed the apn I was not able to delete the stock apn that didn't work. Any ideas?

Oh my bad, I didn't see that you're in a non-LTE area. Did you try the "phone" APN used for HSPA+ connections?
Also, APN should not have any effect on your ability to make or receive calls

You're right, the inability to receive calls was just a fluke. "Phone" worked for data but not MMS.

I guess this means that my data speeds are not going to be as high as they could be, but this does enable me to keep my microsim and switch back and forth with an iPhone.

I guess not, I will call now and see if I can get that switched over. I would have thought they would have done that back when I bought the Infuse 4G, but apparently although the signal said 4G, I wasn't getting the speed.
I didnt get a new sim and am on stock apn settings with no issues. I asked about a new sim and they had no idea what i was talking about.

It depends when you last had to get a new SIM. The SIMs for LTE are different than UMTS. The PTA APN works just fine on all networks (E, 3G, H+ and LTE).
Just got off the phone and was told that I can't change my 3G Unlimited plan to a 4G one without them sending me a 4G Sim and then activating it and that they don't have a 4G microsim. Maybe I can do this to switch the plan and then ask for them to send me another microsim.

wont work. there is a micro SIM for LTE (you can probably guess how I know that) but I am guessing the adapter will not pass LTE but since the iphone is not LTE that may not matter.
BTW, you will not loos your unlimited data. They just add it to a unlimited LTE data plan. You can confirm this after the change on myatt.

Sorry, I guess I'm being a little slow tonight, but I don't quite understand what you are saying. Let me rephrase my question.
When using the "phone" apn, MMS does not work for me. I would like to be able to use the "phone" apn to get HSPA+ speeds and have MMS working. Currently I am having to use the "wap.cingular" apn so that my MMS will work.
I am currently using a 1 year old microsim that came in the iPhone 4. I have the unlimited data for iPhone.
What data plan should I be on so that I can use the "phone" apn with working MMS?
Also, can this data plan work with a microsim so that I can have HSPA+ speeds when using my Galaxy but also have the ability to use the iPhone 4 on some days?
The reason the default settings don't work is because you NEED to have a LTE data plan on your account. Trust me I know what I am talking about ;-). Once you have that provisioned on your account the default APN settings will work just fine.

For phone APN, set it to Internet only.
Then, set up another APN with the wap.cingular APN and set that to MMS only

MicroSIM is only for iPhone 4/4s. Every other device uses a regular sized SIM. You'd have to keep going back and getting a new SIM everytime you'd like to use each phone.
I work for AT&T, I do it all the time, haha.
Couldn't you just trim a LTE sim card to the micro-sim size? xD

Hey guys,
Im currently using a i727r on ICS and i seem to have a really weird problem. I seem to be able to call when I flash a rom, but then out of the blue, it just stops working and i cannot make any calls. I can still send texts and stuff but just no calling. I have tried both UCLD and UCLC modems and roms but I still get the same problem. However, this problem doesnt happen on GB with the UCLA modem.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem, and if so did you solve it? Thanks for the feedback

Well i meant for this to be mostly stating a problem i realized with ICS rather then a question thats why I thought I would post here.
Rogers
I see you're on Rogers, like me.
Turns out the modem settings default to ATT so the GSM band is limited to ATT.
You have to go *#2263# in the phone dialer
- Select GSM Band Preference
- Select GSM ALL
- hit the left haptic button and select END
I hope this helps.
EDIT: Doh! I just realized this turns off data. Must be something wrong with the LTE APN setting.

Ya I just realized that too. Thanks for the help anyways, guess im sticking to GB
OK so I was able to narrow the problem down.
So, I flashed ICS, calls worked.
Changed APNs still worked no LTE though.
Finally, did the *#2263# and set the LTE band as prefered. Then I rebooted, and I got LTE but lost calling.
So its definitly the band or the apn thats causing this problem. So now its just choose between LTE or calling which sucks.
Hope that helps.
Going to try the UCLD2 roms now, ill report back in a few

uhh bud, the problem could be u only half did this right. After u enable all lte bands u have to menu > exit, dial back in using *#2263#* and then select automatic and then reboot.
There is no such thing as voice over LTE, its data only. When in call ur phone automatically switches to 4g, but u have auto turned off right now

Oh alright, well Im not gunna try that right now as i got it to work on UCLD2 modem and dont want to mess it up.
But ya thanks for the help everyone
I solved it by adding these 3 APNs. You also need to go back into *#2263# and select LTE, let it establish connection, then go back and change it to Automatic. Note that LTE isn't everywhere so just because you don't get LTE doesn't mean it doesn't work.

Make sure you are using the correct apn for the carrier you are on, and also check to see if LTE is toggled off.

Can you tell me which "baseband" you have installed? It is in the Settings, About, Software Information, More screen. I'm having the exact same issue (no LTE) on Rogers and have that exact same APN. I'm wondering if I flash a certain radio if it will fix it. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It might just be your area in KW.
I have the latest 2.41 radio from O2 but that should not matter as I previously had 1.94 (Rogers) radio as well.

Thanks for the info. We definitely do have LTE coverage here in the KW area. I ran the RUU to test it out and I indeed got LTE coverage. So far I'm stuck on HSPA if I run any custom ROM, but it is really not all that bad. Thanks again. Some day I will figure out how to unlock LRE on my phone!

Go into system tuner or ROM manager, backup then edit this build.prop:
ro.telephony.default_network
Change the number to 10 or 11 (that's what worked for me)
Save it and reboot.
Let me know if this works. I'm trying to get some momentum going on this as it seems to be a common problem in my area
I have an AT&T branded Galaxy SII i727 Skyrocket (4G LTE). It is not unlocked, has not been rooted and runs AT&T firmware. The phone was purchased independent of a contract (eBay). I am a very light user, but I find it convenient to have a data plan and initially used AT&T GoPhone prepaid. Phone and SMS worked properly on AT&T right away, but some tweaking was required to get data to work. After a few months, I switched to Consumer Cellular (AT&T MVNO). Again, data did not work at first, but CC's tech support gave me revised Access Point Name settings and all became as it should have been.
Recently (I don't remember exactly when, but it was in early or mid December), I finally gave in to the phone's insistence on updating to a later firmware version. From then on, I have been unable to get data to work at all. the 4G symbol no longer appears (although I doubt it was ever actually a 4G connection) and any App that requires a data connection (web, email, etc) complains about no connection. WiFi, on the other hand, works properly with all such Apps.
Here are the specifics of my phone:
Samsung SGH-I727
Android 4.04
Baseband Version I727UCLI3
Kernel Version:
3.0.8-1127534
[email protected]#1
SMPPREEMPT Thu Sep 27 23:12:45 KST 2012
2012Build number IMM76D.UCLI3
My questions are these:
Has anyone had this sort of problem (data on Consumer Cellular fails after upgrade)? If so, how did you solve it?
Was this problem caused by the upgrade? If not, what other issues might have caused it and how can they be corrected?
How can I revert the firmware to the previous version to confirm the cause and/or resolve it?
What else can I do to get my data connection back?
I am not particularly Android savvy, but I am not shy about making changes in settings and/or installing fixes.
Thanks,
Tenaya

Here's a silly question but did you add the APN your carrier gave you back after the update?

No, not silly.
Since I had to do that to fix both previous problems, it was the first thing I did.

Consumer Cellular APN settings for Skyrocket i727
I recently moved my service from AT&T to Consumer Cellular using my existing Samsung Skyrockets. The new phone signal is identical to that of the old as far as I can tell. (same towers) My issue came when trying to setup my text and data side of my Samsung Skyrocket. The settings provided by CC on their website are incomplete. Be prepared to speak with a 2nd level tech to accomplish all of the connections required on "their" end. Here are the APN settings that are working on my two i727's as of Jan 2014. Both are running 4.1.2
Name: Consumer Cellular
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: "66 . 209 . 11 . 32" (without spaces)
Port: 80
User name: Not set
Pasword: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http :// mmsc . cingular . com (without spaces)
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: default,supl,mms,agps,fota
APN protocal: IPv4
Enable/disable APN: APN enabled (check)
Bearer: Unspecified
very helpful for my Skyrocket
Thanks for posting this. I had data working on my AT&T skyrocket, now used with Consumer Cellular, and then it stopped for no apparent reason. I had all the same settings as above, but on my phone the Authentication Type was unspecified or none. I changed it to PAP and now data is back. I don't know if I had never set this before, or if something changed it, but I'm glad it seems to be working again.
always when you format your phone, check the APN settings.
If it isn't configured you won't be able to surf.
happy to hear you fixed the issue.
good while it lasted -30 min

While changing that setting did bring the data connection back to life, it seems to have disappeared again. I'm not sure why. When I turn airplane mode on and then off, data doesn't reconnect. When I reboot the phone it seems to connect after maybe 15 minutes of trying. Could it be a bad sim card? Or maybe should I do a complete reset of the phone? I don't see anyone else reporting these sorts of symptoms, so maybe it is specific to my phone.
Another option for Consumer Cellular APN settings
I just got off the phone (third time in a week) with a tech support person at CC. They said they think they knew the problem. Because the AT&T SGH-I727 skyrocket is 4G LTE capable, a new APN should be set up:
Name: ccilte
APN: ccdata
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: default,mms,supl
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
I asked a couple of times if they really should be backslashes for Server and MMSC, rather than forward slashes. They insisted they should be backslashes, which is what I put in, and it worked, and then I changed them to forward slashes (which seems more appropriate) and that works too. That was weird, since I'd expect one to fail. So now I seem to get a data connection (it has been almost a day and it hasn't dropped data service). I even went in and out of airplane mode, turned wifi on and off, and data came right back, which never happened before. Hopefully this may help someone else who made the bumpy transition to Consumer Cellular.
Hey guys. I'm using my sprint s6 edge on T-Mobile. I know on the verizon models you can just leave it on global mode and it will go to LTE,
But on the sprint s6 edge, when i go to global, it says tmobile LTE on about phone>status but I cant configure a data connection. I have to switch back to HSPA+ to configure APN
ANy ideas on how to make LTE work? if even possible
How did you get your sprint s6 edge to work on t-mobile? Also I believe sprint models can only receive HSPA+.

I have the same question.. I purchased a sprint s6 edge from eBay and used idone app to carrier unlock. But I'm only getting 3g. Is there a way to get LTE using T-Mobile?
First a question: Does everything else work on the phone on T-Mobile? I've considered buying one on ebay because they're cheaper than the other varients of the S6 edge.
Now to answer your question: Call T-Mobile and have them enter your IMEI number as being LTE capable. It takes about 30 seconds, then reboot the phone. If it works you will have LTE. I just did it last week on my LG Optimus G Pro. T-Mobile doesn't recognise the AT&T IMEI of my phone, but now that it's in the system ... BAM LTE BABY!
To get LTE working you have to make another apn exactly like your regular tmobile apn but set the bearer to LTE. and leave your network mode to Automatic.
i just tried to set bearer as LTE and then i got no data on my sprint s6 on cricket/att. can anyone confirm ever having lte on these phones? i seen another thread where someone says they have it but they dont reply on the s6 section due to no roms. has anyone tried flashing a tmobile rom without the modem and then installing a sprint s6 unikernel? ive gotten gsm roms to boot but my baseband was unknown and had to flash a sprint rom again to make gsm calls. we could figure this out if people worked together .

This kind of worked for me. The LTE works, however I can't send or receive text messages (MMS works though). Texts work when I switch it back to 3G.
Edit: I'm using an unlocked sprint galaxy s6 edge on T-Mobile.
Has anyone has any luck with this? I'm still at the point where I have HSPA+ on T-Mobile but no LTE.
Everything is working for me 920p. Had sprint unlock the phone.
Had to use the epc.tmobile apn not the fast.tmobile one. (Google it)
I only had 3g for a while, then I found you have to get your msl code do the ##data# on phone keypad. Go to edit enter your msl code.
Go to LTE it will be disabled, enable it. Go back. Go to CA enabled(I think) enable that also (carrier aggregation), it will reboot now it works for me.
Its only been a day but SMS,MMS calls all work. I've seen something about voicemail not working but I use Google voice and it works so idk.
I'm on the 6.0.1 stock. Don't know if that matters.
Edit- this did work, but two days later I had LTE but no call service. Its my business phone so I had to revert to 3g only, Im thinking now its the ROM that is the problem. Because your only option is LTE/CDMA or GSM. If you leave it on automatic which is what I had it on, it can switch to CDMA I guess and that's when I lost cell service. On a T-Mobile ROM I think there is an option for GSM/LTE

I have 6.0.1 stock os. Dsu by stifilz. Get lte 4g sometimes. 3g is kinda fast. Cannot send mms tho. Can recieve thm. Sm g920p.
Has this been resolved? been thinking about picking up a Sprint S6 from a family for Tmobile :[
I have lte after adding a apn but mms is a no go.
anyway to get mms working on T-Mobile?
agree no MMS
Hi Guys, SM-G920P working with HSPA+ and LTE on T-Mobile with MMS working. Unlocked with idoneapps and couldn't get lte. I resolved by turning on domestic data roaming.

Add 2nd apn with bearer set to lte. Switch frm cdma/lte back to gsm/lte, after restart. Make sure wifi is off.

I have T-Mobile LTE and MMS on my unlocked Sprint GS6 Edge (G925P). The only issue I ran into was not being able to send MMS messages while connected to WiFi from the default messaging app; which was resolved by changing my default messaging app to Textra. See Network settings below.
*** After saving the APN settings, if you are still showing that your are getting 3G speed, toggle the Network mode from automatic to GSM, then toggle it back to "Automatic", then phone will reboot and you should have LTE.***

how to get lte on unlocked g920p
its actually pretty simple all you have to do is download the latest tmobile firmware for g920t and flash it onto your sprint s6 (g920p) using odin.
