[Q] Will i Be Able To Use 3G ATT?

I currently own a captivate but now that I have two I am planning on selling and buying a Nexus S.
My question is Im assuming I will not be able to use 3G, however with a custom ROM would I be able to get "H" network or will I only be able to use EDGE?
Thanks in advance

Edge only. T-Mobile and ATT use different network bands. Otherwise I'd own a nexus s as well.

But with a custom rom you think you could get "H"

Me too!!! The phone is super amazing. I actually debated with myself for 3 hours whether or not to just buy it and deal with edge...but I decided not to.

I'm not sure to be honest. If in fact you can get hsdpa or hsupa or hspa with a custom rom or modem. I may purchase one. I can look into it a little.

The answer is no. The physical support is not there - it's not an issue of flashing the appropriate radio.
An AT&T version has been seen in FCC fillings as well as referenced in commits in the git repo - it will be available soon enough. If you get the current version for AWS you're stuck on edge.

I'm loving it super stable. Its just I wanna get the Nexus S.
If with a Custom ROM you can get H in about 30 mminutes my captivate with CM7 and extended battery and a otterbox case will be for sale. And ill use that money to help pay for my Nexus S. Haha

You can't do this for the simple fact that "H" is based off of 3G. The 2 companies use different frequencies for 3G and as such, different hardware is required within the phone. Simply put, no 3g, no H no matter what ROM you flash.

the ATT version is coming soon, probably within the next few weeks. it already went thru FCC testing.

baseband/modem

What's up. I'm coming from a Vibrant and I was wondering why only certain phones use one baseband/ modem and others use many... The vibrant had plenty to choose from... some gave you better data while others sacrificed battery life for good data. The g2x only has one. Just wondering if we already had the best one or what?

LG either doesnt update modems often, or we dont have the leaks like we did in the vibrant forum.

There's an updated baseband as a part of the GB update, but as far as I can tell nobody has uploaded it as a separate file yet.

Just seemed wired it only had one.

[Q] Has Gtg stopped his work?

Just asking... please don't flame
Loved Gtg's work but noticed he has taken down all his ROMs because of some Network Issues in his latest ROM. He said a couple of days but it's been 6 days now I guess.
As such there is hardly anyone working on Infuse... and that is so sad . Now even if Gtg stops working on it, I might as well get rid of this phone!!
So anyone knows if Gtg is coming back? Or is the Infuse is dead even before it properly took off here

He hasn't left, to my knowledge. He's working on a couple of things right now. He'll be back in full force in the near future.
Development for the Infuse is by no means dead. LunuxBozo is currently working on bringing CM7 to the Infuse and has made what I consider tremendous progress.
What I thought was, I'd become one of those deaf-mutes; or should I?

I would love to flame but since you asked nicely.. What do you mean he has removed his ROMs? Infused is still up and hasn't really had any major problems...

I meant the GB ROMs. Froyo were great and I have no problems with his GB latest ROMs as well, but I am no one to comment on Network data rate issues that others are having as I never get that high data rates in my area anyway
Not blaming Gtg at all.. he is awesome, but just curious to know if Infuse support will ever reach something like that for GalaxyS. Just love this phone ...

With the GB update looming, it may be fair to say that infused, as it sits, may be dead. Why continue development on the Rogers base when he can scratch it and wait for easy street with ATT update?

Froyo Infused was never pulled, it's still there.
As to gtg - I'm assuming he'll be back. He's probably burned out (I don't blame him) and needs a break. I would too. Since Rogers dropped GB we've been spending a liiiitle too much time at our keyboards...

Just hold on. Things will come eventually
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997R using XDA Premium App

i feel few people own infuse that's why we have so few custom roms whereas htc models and samsung galaxy are owned by way too many people and due to their popularity more devs came up with their edition.
as far as gtg is concerned froyo links are there and one link of infused is still there if one goes through infused rom.
i am just waiting for att gb update and then hope that we will have more custom roms and new version by our gtg

How is the battery life? I'm going to give it a try. Kk4 isn't as good as I hoped.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

Actually kk4 is better for me out here in LA Cali.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA App

KK4 had gotren me 18-24+ hours. Will try this out!
And thanks!

Initial impression is good. Running close to 24 hours and so far and it is decent. I am comparing this to the two modems that has worked best on my phone in my area (Chicago).
Ki3 had decent speeds and really good battery life.
Kk4 had better speeds but drain was worse.
Kl2 has better speeds than ki3 and only sacrifices a 1% battery drain per hour (idle) worse.
I will take the trade off.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

So far it has been worse on battery, but better signal, than kj4. Might go back, but will give it another 48 hours.

This modem has worked better than any other for me. I can get an instant cell lock on 4g where previously I couldn't even pick up a 4g signal. At my home, where before I had no reception whatsoever, I can actually pick up a bar or two.

Does this modem still have the 160 character issue where sending messages over 160 characters fails? Thanks.
Edit: I just tested and not only did this modem send a message from a place where I have trouble sending but it doesn't seem to suffer from the 160 character limit. This is good, very good.

You can try using the TMo Galaxy Note radio. It works very well for me. Here's the link:

is the radio the one linked Here a few posts up? coz it is showing UCLI3 ATT, and I was on that one before. switched to UVLG3 but still showing "E" instead of H+ for 4g. pretty sure we have 4g here. speed isn't too bad though

You made a huge mistake switching to tmobile!!

There is nothing called "combo" when it comes to using Skyrocket with t mobile (and in my opinion it makes things worse as you might have to troubleshoot both sides radio and rom problems) ... It is just the radio that can be fine or not depending on the area , and in some areas now t mobile switched their data freq to 1900Mhz so even stock UCLF6,UCLI3 or UCLL3 can work , including 4G

not my mistake. husband threw a fit about att and now we are all going to switch to something else. I opted tmo for myself, granted I should've bought a tmo phone and save me some headache.

Even if it's not for you , but I must say I've been with the BYOD att SIM from ST now for a year and never had a problem, calls and data are exactly like when I was on att .... Tried tmobile prepaid before and it sucks endlessly...I can't comment on what your neighbors think since I can know what's their background , at least the technical aspects.
