unlocked g2x - T-Mobile LG G2x

i just unlocked my tmobile g2x to att works fine but doesnt pick up any 3g or 2g can someone please help me on what im doing wrong thanks

you aren't doing anything wrong. the g2x has the required band for 3g on att but it isn't activated even when the phone is unlocked.

you need to assign the apn information for 2g, 3g won't work (it doesn't have the bands)

You'll be stuck only with 2G unless you use the guide in the development section and select the bands for att 3G service.
Use google to find the apns for the att data. Its something like wap.Cingular.com or similar.

As far as I'm aware, there is no such guide, as there are no AT&T 3G bands on this phone. If you know of such a guide for the G2X (specifically) it would be nice to share.

I C... Yeah, a new thread on a theory based on a reference document. Great idea, great to see people working on it, but hardly a thread to recommend to the original poster, to whom the answer is essentially still and likely to remain "no, no 3G on AT&T with G2X"...

dang alright guess i gotta stay with this sucky 2g smh

is this unlockable for Tmobile **urgent**

My brother is about to buy this phone from one of his buddies for a cheap amount, is this phone unlockable for TMOBILE? I already have a Samsung Vibrant T959 (tmo version of SGS)
You mean the captivate? Yes, but you won't get 3g, just edge.
Check power button and rear speaker function. They arebig problems for some Captivates.
Not to be snob, but a quick search on "unlock captivate" would give you the required results.
And to make long answer short, yes but you need to be rooted. The app by Helroz works like a charm.

Sorry. I actually did do a search on the captivate forums of "unlock tmobile" and then i went on google to try to search but most of the links didn't work, some said it costs like 35$ and I found one youtube video which helps.
I just wanted a confirmation, thank you both.
Just making sure, One click root or Super One click root also works for captivate? (i'm going to go read the stickies now , I'm not a noob trust me i'm on ICS on my Vibrant hah, just a new device, so i thought maybe the instructions etc were different?)
thanks again guys.
Super one click, yes. Sgs Unlock by Helroz, yes. And don't lose the file that is created by the unlock app. It has the info you will need to lock the phone ,if you ever have a need to.
Don't forget the thanks button
been using it on Tmo for quite some time. It works flawlessly but as someone said already, it is just Edge. No 3g. That and no official updates. With the ROMs available here, who needs official update anyways? The rooting would void your warranty
Sorry to revive this thread, but Im going to I-Wireless (T-Mobile affiliate) from Sprint, and me and my wife just bought a pair of Captives off of XDA here. Do you think I will notice a big difference in speed going from Sprint's 3G service to T-Mobiles Edge? Sprint 3G is kind of spotty here anyhow, so Im mostly on 1G whenever in a building or house. Is Edge comparable to Sprint's 1G service, or better? Im hoping its better, as the Sprint 1G service is very slow!

There's probably about the same, anyway you look at edge network is unbearably slow lol

Edge is 2g...so theoretically it should be about twice as fast as 1g.
I just switched my Captivate to Edge and it's about as fast as my Sprint 3g was during the day.

Galaxy S II Skyrocket on Tmobile 3g?

Hi, I have been reading some posts in the Radio thread reporting that they are using the T-mobile Modem. It was unclear whether they had it working on the T-mobile network or just using the modem on the ATT network.
Is there anyone here using the Galaxy S II Skyrocket on T-mobiles 1700Mhz AWS 3G band and getting internet and sms and everything no problem?
I just want to make sure before I go out and purchase one for a lot of money and not have it working.
Yup I believe that the Skyrocket and the TMO SII are the same phone or at least have the same radio
Yes, you can use the t-mobile modem on the skyrocket and connect to t-mobile 3g. There are people on xda that have done this and confirmed working. The modem chipsets are different though.
There is one thing though. The skyrocket modem (mdm9200) supports 700/1700/2100 on LTE which is the same frequency that t-mobile uses on 3G. My concern is that although it will work since it is the same frequency, the skyrocket modem uses the 700/1700 band for LTE and not 3G, but 2100 for 3G and LTE. The t-mobile sgs2 uses the mdm8220 which supports 1700/2100 for 3G. I don't know enough about the particular power/design differences to say if this is a safe thing to do for extended periods of time. I heard of a few people having problems with their modems after flashing tmob modem on their skyrocket. Don't know if it's connected to the hardware differences.. just a caution. Make sure you have warranty or insurance coverage before you try
I'm going to buy the phone secondhand and thus I will not have warranty or any return policy hence I am worried. I wanted to make sure that it works before I go out and purchase the phone.
Were the people having problems the people who were still on the ATT network? I plan on using the phone strictly on the T-mobile network which I hear is also going to be putting out 1900Mhz 3G in certain markets due to the failed ATT merger and I happen to be in one of those large markets.
I have seen this question more than once but never an answer to why...with the two phones being nearly identical, what is the draw causing some tmo users to want the 727 over the 989?

Around here it is cheaper and also I hope that the phone will work with non-smartphone data plans on T-mobile because T-mobile locks out their own smartphones to certain data plans.
As I've said, others have reported it to be working. However, I don't think there are enough people doing this to give a clear idea if the tmob modem is having any adverse effects on the skyrocket modem. Maybe open a poll thread to get a better idea?
One of my customers came in with an unlocked and rooted sky rocket, any idea as to how to get it off our edge?

This is for everyone.
IT HAS TO RUN A TMOBILE SGS II MODEM. The radio has the capability, but the modem.bin for the SR doesn't activate AWS/2100. Flashing a T-Mobile modem will fix that though.

[Q] Can I Use The AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket On T-Mobile?

I have a T-Mobile Pay As You Go plan so I am wondering if I bought a Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket and get it unlocked through eBay if I would be able to use it with my T-Mobile SIM card? I don't need the 4G LTE on it as I would just use my wireless Internet if I ever needed to get on the Internet. I use this phone mostly for texting, phone calls, and games. Do not use it for the 4G, 3G, etc.
Thanks for any and ALL help!
Oh and if I unlock the phone to use on T-Mobile do I need to root to flash any kernels, etc? Looked for answer to my question but was unable to find an answer.
ATT for the win jaja
Yes you do need a root to flash new kernels
Edit: and yes you can use it with any GSM provider if you get it unlocked hopes this answers your question

I was looking at running the ATT Samsung Captivate on T-Mobile for a friend.
I found out the Captivate would only run at "Edge" speeds on T-Mobile. Not 3G or 4G.
Might want to check to see if it would be the same for the Skyrocket.

You are correct, ATT and tmobile have different bands in which their phones operate, so you will only get EDGE speeds at most. Also to clarify ATT's 3G data operates over 850/1900Mhz spectrum and tmobile 3G operates over 900/2100Mhz so you really can't use 3g/4g at all unless you go with another carrier like Straight Talk where they use tmobiles and ATT's towers so you recieve 3g on your smartphone. Good luck !

WOW! Thank you all for such much information, I LOVE this forum. As for the 3G honestly some may think I am crazy but I honestly don't care about the 3G/4G stuff. I use my phone for talking and texting, I never use the data plan. In fact I just don't have a data plan so it honestly don't matter to me. I just wanted to make sure my phone would be useable without having to root it, change the kernels, etc. to make calls and text family & friends.
So thank you ALL for all your information and taking the time to share it. It is very much appreciated!
The Skyrocket says it supports LTE 700/1700/2100 so does the Galaxy Note and they just found a way to use the Galaxy Note on TMobile 4g so wouldn't this phone support it as well? They have the same specs.

How do you use your skyrocket on tmobile and get 4g speeds?

What combination is suggested to get T-Mobile 4G on the East Coast?

As the title says! Now by combo im referring to ROM + RADIO + KERNEL!
A good example would be tspx23's [Combination juggernaut 4.1/faux kernel NOT overclocked/KL1 Radio] which gets 4G on the West Coast.
The phones been out for a while so i'm just trying to gather info before I buy the phone tomorrow. Thanks again!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Not to be daft, but if you're going on T-Mobile why are you bothering with a Skyrocket? Yes I know you can get it to work on T-Mobile, but unless you're getting a SPECTACULAR deal on an unlocked Skyrocket or you absolutely need a SD Card, why not just get the Galaxy Nexus? It has a better screen, nicer physical profile (IMO) and it's the current flagship Google device, meaning you'll get all the updates before everyone else, not to mention it's only $350 and a truly global phone. My wife has it on a monthly 4G plan and at times I get jealous of it (except for the times when she has an Edge connection while I have HSPA+, but that's a carrier issue, not a device one.)
Just throwing that out there..

I'm already on T-Mobile but could only find a good deal on a Skyrocket sadly. I already got it not i need to do all the mods and what not.
Should just be as easy as flashing the blaze radio from the development thread. All roms should work, including the stock ROM. Flash the recommended kernel for that ROM, hint use ones the Dev told you works great. May have to configure the APN for TMobile if flashing the blaze radio didn't do it for you.

Basically if you have the OPTION on your OWN to pick depending on the server your on I would suggest getting the own for your service like if you on AT&T go get the i727 if your on T-Mobile get the S2 cause the chances are your speeds are going to be best using the phone made for the server you have chosen. ME on the other hand had LIMITED option due to circumstances I was offered to be on sprint with a parent but was cut off half way of summer so i go back to my original parent who originally took me in T-Mobile and was stuck with a sprint phone the "Motorola Photon 4G" which thanks to a dev on XDA was allowed to unlock the SIM slot for DOMESTIC GSM (USA) with that in mind i liked it but data speeds were sad so i grabbed the i727 and unlocked it so here i am. I will give you output on the speeds once i find stable Combination.

I can't get a decent 4g download speed either. I'm currently on Embryo 5.1 and Kernel CYMBALINE-RD03-2.6. I've tested most of the radio that have been posted and still only getting around 550kbps dl and 25kbps ul on all of the radios. Getting over 10Mbps dl and ul on a tmobile phone next to it. Maybe my settings are wrong or something, but I've dial *#2263# and forced it to WDCMA 1700.
does anybody have GPS issues with lack of accuracy and long time to lock? i've never had good GPS performance with the skyrocket on tmobile radios. (i never ran this phone on att network and att radio, so i do not know if GPS performance is any good on ATT radio)

my phone is already unlocked. my main question is can 4g be achieved through straight talk
I would say yes because my friends S2 (T-mobile) worked for Simple Mobile. Simple Mobile goes under TracFone Wireless Inc. which owns both Simple Mobile and Straight Talk.
Or as long as they support HSDPA your good to go!
So when your getting a plan from Straight Talk make sure to ask them if they support HSDPA.

This statement made me laugh. Asking them this will only create anger issues. The support people I have dealt with NEVER have a clue.
Its cool tho. People if you consider going to Straight Talk be prepared to have almost no tech support.
As posted above att will be iffy on this phone. If you are looking to get better data speeds I suggest steering away from Straight Talk there is a unknown daily data cap. And it sounds like you are looking to get faster data speeds to do something that will probably put you over the daily data cap. At that point Straight Talk will cancel your service and you have to call and ***** to get it turned back on. Hopefully they will publish something on what the daily limit is soon.

The only problem with trying to expand your 4g coverage by using a at&t sim thru straight talk is the T-Mobile 4g and At&t 4g work differently. Some of at&t 4g coverage is actually 4g lte which this phone does not support. Even their hspa+ network may be configured slightly different. Bhundven has an unlocked sgs4g and has tried his At&t sim and has reported that the 4g does not work well on it. Barely even gets 4g reception and dismal speeds at that.
