Does the Galaxy S 4G get At&t 3G when its unlocked. I unlocked it and it gets at&t 3g. Is it possible?
Galaxy S 4G
Uh...did you just answer your own question?
You just said you get 3g on your unlocked SGS4G.
People are telling me its not possible. I'd like to know if it is. Mine gets it but does it really get it or is the indicador wrong?
Galaxy S 4G
Does it seem like edge network speed. You would be able to tell the difference.

Its fairly quick. Not edge at all. Anyways I guess I did answer it myself just wanted to see if it was possible. Wasn't like that before I sent it in to Samsung so idk...
Galaxy S 4G
The Galaxy S 4G has 3g speed on AT&T 1900mhz band but not on the 850mhz band, where it will be Edge Speed.
I think this was answered a long time ago in one if these threads.

I'm thinking about trading my t mobile s2 for the skyrocket. The reason I want to do this is because t mobile is going to be getting 4g lte, does anyone know if the skyrocket will work on the 4g lte since the skyrocket has the same bands as t mobiles lte?

uh I believe this is wrong. They were working on using our skyrocket radio to try and activate the present but disabled LTE chip in the sgs2, but to my current knowledge haven't succeeded yet. Even with an unlock, no LTE for u...yet

flash a full tmobile odin restore on your skyrocket.
its the same device
I am about 80% certian
yeah ill pass, I'm not bricking my skyrocket. The sgs2 is exynos, while the skyrocket is snapdragon. im 100% certain.
So of I were to get the skyrocket and Odin it to tmobiles version,would it just disable the lte or keep it enabled

Tmobile LTE wont come out til late 2013. Maybe early 2014.
T-Mobile T989 is the same as the Skyrocket other than the fact that the Skyrocket has LTE, and a shifted orientation sensor, probably to accommodate the LTE.
They did a fair bit of research on this over on the T989 forums and the end result was it doesn't have an LTE modem.
Also, regarding original question, Skyrocket LTE modem probably won't work on T-Mobile LTE when it rolls out. Wrong frequencies.
soi switched to verizon four months ago because att service has gotten crappy. now i ordered my verizon s3 and find out that the bootload is locked.... should i switch back to att or stay on verizon? what would yall do?
Is it worth an etf?
i'm on at&t and i'm pleased with my service. i don't live in a major city and i consistently get 6-8mbps down and 1-1.5mbps up. for normal browsing it is more than adequate. no issues with call quality.
i'm also pleased with my phone. with my current configuration (see sig) i'm getting 5000-5100 in quadrant. benchmarks aren't a perfect indicator of how good the phone is, but the number is still impressive.
go back to AT&T
AT&T LTE is faster and Verizon new Share Data isn't all that. Too little data for so much money. AT&T!
We only have 3g where I live for at&t and lte on Verizon. I would keep my Verizon line for home Wi-Fi.

Go to ATT!

Att is faster and eventually get to the point where verizon is at with lte locations.

At&t is very good to us, and the service here is amazing. Then again, Baltimore being so close to D.C. is probably the reason. LTE has been deployed here for awhile and the speeds are insane. We've always had issues with Verizon at my house

Just afraid that I'll start having all those dropped calls again, I don't have any with Verizon

I have the att version I got 24.8mbps dl and 8 ul. No dropped calls either. Pretty amazing device so far

I always prefer gsm carriers to cdma ones. It feels weird having a phone that you cannot use if you travel abroad, especially europe where most carriets are gsm.
do you want locked bootloaders or better coverage?
Wonder if the locked bootloader is going to be a trend for Verizon?

Every lock have a key, I'm moving from ATT to Verizon (700$ etf) just because of the dropped calls. Can't stand it any more.

Will someone explain PRL's and how to improve signal? I have ATT skyrocket and Verizon SG3 and the skyrocket 4g is more consistent and very fast whereas the SG3 runs in 3G or 1x and when LTE is running it's still slow. Any ideas?

You know, I have the Sprint version, same problems, Ive changed baseband 3 times. Its an internal antenna issue I think

Quick question. Does the ROMs on the skyrocket have the hot spot hack? And I know it can get 4g but what about lte? I'm trying to go buy one now and just wanted to know

4G is actually LTE. Some carriers do market HSPA as 4G, while HSPA is actually 3.5G.
This is an LTE phone so yes it does get 4G (LTE). All non AT&T roms have wifi & usb tethering.
AT&T roms do have hacks to enable tethering.
I have a quick question for everyone. I have a Verizon Galaxy S3. I am wanting to move to Straight Talk on ATT Service. I put in a Straight Talk SIM, and input the APN Settings that I had acquired.
The only service I could get was "E", which I'm assuming is Edge Service. I was just curious if anyone knew anything I could do to help the phone at least get HSPA on AT&T(Straight Talk)?
Thanks.

From my understanding it does not work that way. The only service you'll get is edge.

3G
I believe the model is missing the HSPA+ freq. needed in the USA. I have heard that it does get the HSPA+ with SIM card in other countries, but only EDGE in USA.
