Is it possible to ever get T-Mobile 4g service on an unlocked Samsung Infuse 4g? I've tried every T-mobile APN setting. Anyone have suggestions ?
Nope, not possible. And wrong section.
I dont know how many times this question has been asked and with the same answer. Search before creating a new thread.
There's also a thread to ask questions. Just saying.

Only 2 small additions....
1. Know your network.
2. www.gsmarena.com or a similar site. Find the specs and compare.
Edit: and if possible, a mod lock or move, preferably both.

You should probably "tell" the "mex"ican that there is no "5g".
i also picked up an at&t samsung infuse 4g...and i am searching for the best possible updates for this phone...will post here if i find something nice
its not that crazy of a question nowadays with carrier branded phones being so close to one another. you can actually flash a tmobile radio onto a skyrocket and have 4g hspa-dc through tmobile. but even if the infuse hardware was capable of tmobile bands (which it probably isnt), theres no tmobile version of the infuse inwhich to pull a radio. so the answer atleast for now is no.

850MHz UMTS on Vibrant 4G
I have both the Vibrant 4G and the older Vibrant from T-Mobile.
Using the instructions found here: androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s/258859-how-enable-850mhz-3g-network-frequency-your-samsung-i9000-galaxy-s.html[/url]
I see that I can enable 850MHz on the older Vibrant but I don't see the 850MHz option on the Vibrant 4G. I have not yet tested the Vibrant to see if I get better AT&T data coverage (ie: 850MHz when 1900MHz is not available.)

I believe this is true for the Galaxy S i9000 which has support for 3G network over the 850mz band. Our phone, the Galaxy S 4g does not.
It is possible to flash a modem for 3G @ 850mz band for i9000, but not for the sgs4g.
The main reason being that the i9000 is an international phone so it has to support a lot of carriers and different bands/networks around the globe. But the SGS4G was made for T-Mobile's network, so the bands that it supports are limited to that carrier.

Sorry for revive this post , just to clarify... If enable the UTMS1900Mhz band I'll be able to usa 4G with a company that provide it via HSPA+ on this band?
thanks in advance
anyone here???
Is anybody using the SK4G on AT&T? Lets not start a carrier discussion other than can it get on ATT 3G bands? I believe the samsung vibrant can. Correct me if Im wrong about that.
I doubt you would find anyone using a Sidekick $G on AT&T
The 3G (UMTS) bands supported by the SK4G are Band I (2100) and Band IV (AWS1, 1700/2100).
AT&T uses Band II (1900) and Band V (850) (at least according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands )
So while you could use it with the 2/2.5G (GSM/GPRS/Edge) service of AT&T, you wouldn't be able to use it with their 3G network.
Thanks. I thought that might be the case since t-mobile owns the name sidekick and there is no international version of the phone.
Is it possible to flash the radio with one more compatible with the network the person is interested in using:
It has nothing to do with the radio. Its hardware based.

Hi, am leaving Sprint. Looking to get a used phone (no contract), that will work on monthly plans like TMo prepaid, Straight Talk (ATT)) w/out a contract. I'm reading good things about both the older Vibrant (SGH-T959), and the newer 4g (SGH-T959V). It's clear from my research that people are successuflly unlocking and able to go back and forth between TMo and ATT SIMs on the older Vibrant. What isn't clear to me is can this be done on the newer SGH-T959V?
Again, I don't care much about 4g. 3g on AT&T is fine. But while on TMo, the 4G would be nice.
Thanks!

Thanks Brandon. I will then pick up a used, older SGH-T959 (Vibrant), unlock it, and then enjoy the 3g flexibility of both ATT & TMo. It's strange, the T959V is supposed to support the same ATT 3g band as the regular T959, but I can't find proof of this anywhere.

posted original question here by accident
I am using unlocked 4g on Cincinnati Bell wireless and the 3g works fine.
However I have not been able to get 4g at all on my phone. When I put a Tmobile sim in it works fine one 4g.
I get a little over 2 mbps download on Cincinnati Bell 3g.
You can just unlock it, I'm using mine on att right now. Only thing is you have a backup sync for T-Mobile instead of att.

3G on AT&T will only work one one of the two UMTS bands: 1900 MHz.
Note that the Vibrant 4G doesn't have the 850MHz band (the other band that AT&T uses for 3G data.)
I've seen a posting that there's a way to activate the 850MHz band, but I have not verified that this works. If anyone has got this working so you're working on both bands on AT&T with your Vibrant 4G, let me know.
As an addendum to my own post, looks like the consensus is that while the Vibrant has an option of selecting the 850MHz UMTS band, it actually doesn't enable anything:

According to that, their phone has an LTE radio... which means even the radios between our phones are the same..
I did some research, and I learned that our Skyrocket is a pentaband phone.
HSPA+: 850, 900, 1700, 1900, 2100.
And having 6 LTE bands....
This is probably the best radio made by Qualcomm... ever.
But I thought the Exynos chip could not support LTE? Only the Snapdragon..
Both phones have snapdragon processors.

This is the info I got from phonearena. Most gsm bands are the same from the Tmobile sgs2 and the a&t skyrocket.does this mean if I unlocked my skyrocket I could use t mobile pre paid internet and voice plans.I currently have a AT&T 50$ unlimited pay as you go, but can't get Web (internet because it's a smartphone) has anyone tried using there skyrocket on Tmobile hspa+ network?

Yes, our T-Mobile Galaxy S II people are trying to see if we can activate the LTE radio on our device by flashing your modem.
If you are interested you can try flashing our modem to see if your phone can use AWS (1700) on T-Mobile / Mobilicity / Wind.
Our modem is here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11883-odin-tmo-sgsii-modem-collection-team-kang12142011/

I've been following both threads and it sounds like Telus/TMobile radios does work on our LTE device? I'm travelling to Orlando later this month and would love to use their 3g data prepaid plan instead of 2g data.
It sounds like all I have to do is flash the Telus radio before I leave and I should be able to use Tmobile's 3g network? Then when I get back, flash it back to the Rogers radio so I get LTE back? Does that sound right? Thanks!

I've been doing some research... the MDM9200 (modem in the Skyrocket) has LTE (Band 17 and Band 4, I also found a device with Band 13 but not sure if it's included in the SkyRocket) and it has HSPA+ Release 8, which means DC-HSPA. This means the by flashing a Telus/T-Mobile radio, you could theoretically get the same speeds that the SGH-T989(D) gets. I also found an MDM9200 device that states it has HSPA+ 850/900/1700/1900/2100 so that means that this modem can handle a LOT of bands, it just depends on which radio you flash.
Alright so I got my Skyrocket and flashed the latest T-Mobile Modem. AWS HSPA+ works perfectly fine, voice quality is actually much better than it was on my Hercules. I restored my setup from my Hercules and just changed the TDJ kernel to Da_G (waiting for them to make a kernel for the Skyrocket).
So that settles that once and for all. This phone has HSPA+ 850/1700/1900/2100 (and it's DC-HSPA so the max 42mbps is enabled if you flash a T-Mobile/Telus radio). It also has LTE 1700/700 with the 700 being band 17. I'm really hoping Wind gets the lower B or C block so I won't have to switch phones if/when they deploy LTE.
The Skyrocket has everything the Hercules has, with just MDM9200 over the MDM8200 in the Hercules. If you google online, the MDM9200 is like the MDM8200 just with LTE on top.
Once again, this phone is in fact amazing lol

glad to hear it worked out man, lot of people shy away from the skyrocket because they think it won't work!
So the International Version has no 4G support that has been established; however, their could be a possible way to still get 4G. I have seen with the SG2 International and The SG2 Tmo if you flash the modem of the tmo one onto the international they got 4G on Tmo. I have also read that i think it was the nexus or galaxy note or something had a locked band that they unlocked.... I heard that a radio probably wont change anything but does anyone else have any ideas?

As far as I understand, it's not. Check www.htc.com/www and look at the One S specifications.
Doesn't support 1700 AWS bands nor does it have the 1900 mHz (AT&T 3G, soon to be T-Mobile HSPA+ as well).
A software hack won't fix bands that don't exist in the hardware.

The 850 mHz band is also AT&T 3G, but it is not as widespread around the country as the 1900 mHz band. So, you're getting AT&T 3G on 850 mHz because that is available on the One S.

Again, because they contain the 1700 AWS band to get T-Mobile 3G/HSPA+.
A software fix cannot fix what the hardware lacks in the International One S. I'm not sure you could coerce HTC into an exchange because they'll probably tell you that the detailed specifics are available on their website and you should always check with your carrier before buying an international device.
Your best bet would be to return it directly and buy the T-Mobile US model if you'd like T-Mobile service. Hopefully they'll get the black version, if not, sorry mate. Sometimes you have to choose carrier over design, or simply a different phone model.

So people wouldn't buy one to use it for a carrier it wasn't meant to be on? If the band is only in the T-Mobile version and people are on T-Mobile, their only choice is to buy it from T-Mobile if they want 3G.
T-Mobile probably doesn't want people buying their flagship off contract.
