[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.

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.

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.

I cant imagine the support that phone is going to get. I mean it isnt even out in the states and the devs already have it.

I wish Tmobile would pick it up...

/facepalm.
i buy the SGS 4G, and then hear about this.

I have sneaky idea that someone will find the unlock code for this as well so it can be use by T-Mobile peeps

Is that the U.S. CDMA version or the Europe GSM version?

its not a matter of it being unlocked, you can purchase them unlocked from alot of places. its a matter of NONE of them being able to utilize tmobiles 3g/4g AWS bands. They will only work on edge as far as data goes.

although T-Mobile will not be getting the sgsII (supposedly) Its likely we will be getting this Goliath monster of a phone.

Edit: I noticed the article does not mention the battery size... if it shares a similar battery with the infuse 4g it should be a 1750mah battery.

I didnt know that... but I know I am waiting for more info on this phone. Sounds like it may even trump the SGSII (excluding dev support).

Seems source code has been out for awhile and some progress on other phones but alot of work will be needed for the charge. You can atleast get the key board if you want and I have seen other people try somethings but not much success atleast that Ive read.

People seem to keep forgetting that ICS is getting ported to all these 3G phones. It hasn't been ported to ANY 4G device that I know of.

We still need the RIL, thats what is holding us back from everything haha. CM7, CM9, ICS. We need that ril before we can move on.

Exactly and people keep forgetting that these "3G only" phones don't this RIL issue so of course it's going to be easier to get these ported over.

Work has already been started for the Rezound, so that seems like a good sign.
Plus, once the Galaxy Nexus releases on Verizon, wouldn't the source for that help us in any way?

No idea. Honestly.

well I don't know the internal workings of android too well but afaik the RIL code is not included in the source the OEMs post and they are not obligated to release it so it has to be leaked or hacked up to work

True. However google DOES include RIL w/ the source code. SO hopefully when the LTE source code is released, it can be tweaked to work for the charge.
Not sayin' it will, just that its not all gloom and doom.

Regardless,I just n flashed it on my buddies nexus and 4g does not work... Couldn't we get
something similar with no 4g... Cause, its, freaking awesome,
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App

Our best shot is the VZW Galaxy Nexus source. Since its a Samsung made phone, it's possible the RIL is similar to the Charge.
I know you all hate to hear this, but it's coming December 8...only a week and a half and hopefully we will be further along with the RIL. Patience, Daniel-San, patience...

The devs shouldn't be focusing, in my opinion, on this until we have the RIL. Why did anyone buy this phone if they didn't want 4G more than anything else?? Features are nothing without function.

what you guys keep forgetting is that it doesn't matter if another LTE phone gets a port until it's one with the same chipset as our phone. No one has done the RIL for our chipset.

ICS Leaked by Kies, Skyrocket upgradable?

Can we flash this on our skyrocket (I would highly doubt it, but wanted to checked)?

Technically yes you can flash it. But it will brick your phone.

The tmobile galaxy and the skyrocket have the same modems buddy. Our tmo phones can (theoretically) access LTE bands with the right modem/sim combo. So in reality, our phones are identical, just tmo phones have a software lock.

Yes i know that slick. But tmobile has not lte. And its disabled on the phone. So once again we have lte you do not. I can get over 60mbps download. You can not.

T-Mobile gs2 and skyrocket are the exact same phones. Arguing over which phone is better makes no sense.

Flash back to stock if brick. Flash CM7, MIUI, etc... just like Infuse 4g?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

I came from an Infuse and felt fairly at home on the Skyrocket.
My impression from reading forums is that more people have screwed up this phone than the Infuse because there are so many phones with the Galaxy S II name and people try to mix and match ROMs. Just be careful of that and you should be fine.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Its because people do not read. Obviously there different devices. And common sense says dont flash anything from a different device. Mabye it will break mine. Or mabye i should read and find out if you can on certain devices. But nope nope nope. People dont read and apparantly have very little common sense. So they just flash wrong roms/kernels. Then complain about how its a developers fault or odins fault there brickd.
So bottom line is. Always know what your flashing before attempting to flash anything. Even themes

Yes I noticed people screwed up. Wrong roms. Good thing it can be fixed by return to stock.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium

Actually alot of times ot can not be fixed

I have a question..?? Can the skyrocket be unlock for any GSM Carrier just like the Samsung Infuse by using either an app or editor?

No the apps dont work. You gota pay a website like cellunlocker for the code
