I saw one of these in Korea but couldn't figure out if it had the appropriate bands to work on AT&T. It looks like a slight bigger s2. Beautiful.
Anyone out there got one working on AT&T? If yes, I'm amazed that no one is importing them.

Skyrocket will have ICE on the next ROM but is not pure AOSP, as it will be mixed with TWlauncher as typical by Samsung

This isn't the same phone, the korean S2 HD LTE has the same 720p screen as the galaxy nexus.
ahh my bad, you are right, i didn't read the HD portion
yes, the HD version of SGS2 is the basically the same as NG, but with the added SD card support
i'd have purchased that phone if they made it available with 1700/2100
but the SGS2 HD works just fine for ATT 850/1900
Where have you seen it has the 850 band. Does anyone k ow anyone who has one working on AT&T?
just google up the full specifications
you can do 3G
but you wont get LTE
The Rogers Samsung LTE supports 1700 2100. Its just not HD though.

that's the same as skyrocket SGH-i727R = SGH-i727
i misread as well on my first reply
the normal LTE is not the same as HD LTE
That's just the point... It's not the Same as the LTE. and obviously I have googled it... The info just isn't there. That's why I'm trying to find out if anyone has the HD version working in the US... on AT&T .
Anyone?

What info are you looking for exactly? Just firsthand experience with it? The bands are there, so it should work fine.

Don't think the LTE will be compatible.
Seeing that its only sold in korea i just don't see it having much of a following on here, forget about tons of roms let alone cyanogen mod for it.

Korea LTE runs on 800 Mhz
ATT LTE runs on 700 Mhz
the SGS2 HD LTE is made for Korea 800 Mhz
as i mentioned above in the previous reply
I feel ya homey I want one too, but wondering if it will work isn't my problem, all I,m waiting on is how, where, and when do I get this hd beast I'd rather have this over the nexus camera I'd better and he'll eventually it will get ics, so as soon as anyone see's a website selling them please let us all KNOW

Hi,
I've really been looking around to get myself a new phone to use on tmobile.
I was just wondering if using a T959V modem on an infuse would bring the ability to use tmobile's 1700mhz HSPA bands.
lemme know if you any of you guys are doing this.
Thanks,

I know the modem can disable certain talk freqs but I think because T-Mobile data freqs are so unique to tmo that other phones just don't support them. it could also be in the ril or even antenna tuning. I've never counted it out but figured someone would have had it figured out by now. I don't feel like getting a tmo sim card just to try it out.

No, it's a hardware limitation, not software/firmware, you'll only be able to utilize EDGE data/gsm.

might be a while before I try so don't hold your breath...
the thing that is weird is good devs have said it'll never happen. what bothers me is the ril,and modem both work and the chip is the same. now Im no expert on wireless or antenna design but antennas can be tuned and its posible there are separate antennae for different freqs not just differt types of connection. there may also be something else needed to support T-Mobile aws but I have a hard time believing its a hardware dependency and not a firmware/framework dependency other than the antenna just being inefficient... but there may be some supporting chip or something. nobody really knows. all we can do is use as much T-Mobile firmware as possible and hope its not a kernel dependency or hardware. I know I don't have the skills for the kernel and if its hardware its a waist of time.
So as for now there is no progress on this field?
Do not really want to change my Infuse especially when there are no good phones for TMobile except HTC One S(((
Hey I was just wondering if it was possible to unlock a Skyrocket then flash a Tmobile radio and receive H+ data speeds. How would I go about doing it? Which radio would you suggest? Thanks.
Nobody? Theretically it could be done but I just want someone to confirm for me.
After unlocking phone someone tried running t-mobile sim and he said only edge but he did not flash t989 radio so idk. If i can unlock it for free i will try it and let you know.

I have an opportunity to get my hands on one of these phones very soon. I have a HTC HD2 on T-mobile's network. If it is not a bother, could you verify this? I wouldn'' want to be responsible for you bricking your phone, but I would be most appreciative for the information on it's possibilty if you know what you are doing.
It is unlocked.
What do you need me to verify?? I m confused !
Because you can run t**** on i727 with edge network plus you can flash t989 radios on i727 i done that before but not with t**** sim card.

its not possible because t-mobile radios for skyrocket dont exist, so you can't flash an other radio for tmobile as it wont work and you migh just end up screwing your phone. tmobile sucks man, change to anything else.......if you like good hardware that it
Yes they exist what you talking about!! YOu can flash them. Here you can dload and flash it through cwm.

HSPA+ will not work with the Skyrocket no matter if a radio exists or not. The simple reason is that supported H+ frequencies are 1700 for download and 2100mhz for upload and skyrocket only goes 1900mhz and 2100mhz. So unless you are able to enable the 1700mhz frequency, 4G or 3G will not work with the skyrocket! Edge is the only frequency that will

I'll be travelling to the states next week and will flash either the Telus or Tmobile radio to use Tmobile's prepaid plans. If no one's replied back to you by then, I'll let you know what I find.
However, there are already reported success of people with SR and the Telus radio using the phone on Canada's 1700 AWS network (Wind).. so pretty sure it'll work. Flashing the radio is safe as well, I've already done it once.
Well make sure you do nandroid before flashing that t989 radio. Plus he wants to know how it will run with tmobile sim card and t989 radio on unlocked phone.

OK, I'm in Orlando now and got the T-Mobile prepaid plan...I flashed the T-Mobile vk1 radio and for some reason, I can't connect to any data. I wasn't even able to go into the mobile network settings screen to see the apn settings. Got a msg to insert a sim card to access services...
I then flashed the telus radio and got 3g right away. Speeds are pretty pathetic tho...only 2m down...maybe I'm just too spoiled by lte
Anyways, it's been a long tiring day so I won't do anymore testing right now..maybe tmr I'll try the other kl1 T-Mobile radio.

Thank you sir. This is what I feared-hopefully the other radio serves you better.
So no update on how the radio worked?
With all the development and new roms which combo are you using? I'm currently on nexus mod 4 stock UCLA 3 2.3.6 kernel getting outstanding battery life.
On NexusMOD 4 and was on romracers stockish0.3
just switched to faux010m UV-75 and UC to 1.4. Gonna see how that runs
I tried the faux kernel uv and uc but the silver stock ucla kernel is amazing for me with heavy usage
I would use juggernaught 5.0

I'm using Sky-ICS on the 2.6.35.11+ kernal. Pretty decent battery life, although I am not in a LTE area so I'm not sure how that would be on the battery. ROM is fast, smooth, and pretty customizable.

I have that ROM, it's not missing it.
And every single rom for Skyrocket has LTE Support, actually the phone hardware is always there, that I know for sure.
some ROM's don;t even have an option to choose and still applying apn works perfect. On AT&T ROM the icon will say 4G and small LTE under it, on Rogers it will say LTE.
If 4G is working there is no way you can be missing LTE as LTE is 4G just faster.

AT&T uses regular LTE which is just 4G updated it's called 4G-LTE, Canadian network is way more advanced.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G
coming back to my original point, if your phone shows 4G sign and you don;t get LTE, two reason's 1) you are not in the range for LTE 2) your apk is wrong. This is tested and retested, just change the apn and get in the LTE range and see the magic.

well there u go, becuz I'm on rogers in Canada and LTE is LTE, 4 g is slower. Yes, the LTE radio remains active but the rom is incompatible with the frequencies of Rogers LTE = no LTE. That being said a RAT unlocked radio like kj7 may work, but 1) i highly doubt it, and 2) I never got around to testing this as the UCLA3 modem and kernels combo work great for me

Hate to brake it to you, but At&t IS LTE, not just spiced up 4g. Why do you think they have to have an LTE radio to receive it.
