I must have been tired as hell when I read this but...I can't seem to find anything on it atm...If I flash the T-mobile modem, with an unlocked Skyrocket does it get 3g? I know not LTE(700mhz) but for some reason I think I read somewhere about it working.
Yes it will. Just flash a t-mobile modem in the skyrocket and you will get 3G on t-mobile. It has been tested and confirmed working.
Lol.I couldn't find anything on YouTube for this..might have to switch up my for sale thread.

Check the "Our phone is... amazing" thread on the Skyrocket forums. Been using mine on AWS for a few days now and it works better than my hercules did. Flash the KID modem, it seems to be better for signal

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.

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.

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
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.
I have a friend who is on att and wants an unlocked g2x I have. I put his card into my g2x and it makes calls and gets on the edge network
(the little E shows up). What I am wondering is, is the phone working at 3g speeds or 2g? He has an Iphone 3gs. Also is there any roms for the g2x that are more suited to run better on att? Any info would be helpful.
Thanks
Eddie

I believe the issue is your using a t mobile phone on att network. They both use GSM and CDMA But for the faster speeds the phone needs to be able to handle that networks technology. T mobile high speed is that HSPA+, not sure what att is or if they use it, if they don't, the phone won't run on their "whatever " highspeed. Make sense? Check out what att highspeed is.
I may be wrong.

I thought the G2x was a quad band phone that could work on either networks?

I have 2 G2x's (Me & wife). Both through Straight Talk. One on T-Mobile & one on AT&T. From the research I've done & personal experience with the two phones, the fastest data speed you will be able to get with a G2x on AT&T is Edge. I plan on switching the AT&T over to T-Mobile shortly. At least the 4G is fast where I can find it.

Looking at getting off Verizon, do not want to get another contract.
What is the status of our phone working on hspa? I've read in the development forum that in parts of Europe it gets hspa speeds as well as 3g so it's a Verizon thing?
Am rooted, unlocked yadda yadda running paranoid android rom.
Thx all.

Sell your phone for $300+, get a new one on your new carrier for less. Why keep it?

Won't work on US HSPA. There is a bounty thread in the forum trying to get it to work. Get another phone as other poster recommended. Will get EVDO speed. My other Rezound is Global on TMobile get EVDO only. Everything else will work tho.
Hello. I just bought a like new Galaxy blaze on ebay, still waiting for it to get here. I have service with AT&T and I am assuming my data connection will be very slow. Is there any modem/radio that you guys could recommend? I did search for answers but couldn't find them!
Thanks

I believe you just need to unlock it and should be good to go.

Thanks, but unlocking the phone won't give me fast data speeds because At&t works on a different frequency.
I know there are people currently doing what I mentioned in the first post on their Galaxy Note 1 and 2 when switching from Tmobile to At&t and vice versa...

When using an AT&T phone on T-Mobile and vice versa there is no guarantee that you will experience the full potential of their respective services. Basically it's a crap shoot.
