[MOD] Using Skyrocket on T-mobile/AWS Bands - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

So a lot of people have been PM'ing me in regards to this matter.
There are also a couple of threads lingering around in the General section on both the t-mobile and skyrocket forums which brush on the topic but don't really go into the details.
I decided to post this here as a MOD.
Yes the Skyrocket will support HSPA+/3g on T-mobiles network. How do I know this? I had one and was using it on t-mobile with no problem.
There are a couple radios you can flash to get HSPA+ on the skyrocket:
T-mobile SGH-T989 KID: http://minus.com/mlupRDTvJ#1
T-mobile SGH-T989 VK1: http://minus.com/mlupRDTvJ#4
Telus KJ3: http://minus.com/mlupRDTvJ#2
Here is the Stock Skyrocket radio: http://minus.com/mlupRDTvJ#3
Depending on where you are located/what bands your operator uses I would assume one of these radios would work better than the other.
On a side note a lot of people have just "claimed" that the skyrocket doesn't pick up hspa+. This is not true, it does but you will have to figure out the right ROM/Kernel/Radio combination. I experienced intermittent connectivity on certain skyrocket kernels while running a T-mobile radio etc. Either way I ALWAYS had the ability to connect to hspa+. Most often I would get speeds of between 3-7mbps. I personally used VK1.
When it comes down to the bottom line though, the skyrocket is essentially the same device as the galaxy s2 but with LTE.
IF this helped please hit the thanks button!

I am also using my skyrocket on T-Mobile. I have Juggernaut/Faux 009/VKL1 combo. So far it has been the best combo for me where I get 3-7mbps. The only problem I have it slow upload speeds. Not just for this combo but for all the combos i tried. I am only getting 50-100kbps upload speeds. Any idea why?
*just a heads up, multiupload has been down for weeks already, might wantto change the download links.

Another confirmation here for VK1. Only problem I had was bad battery life .. I don't get 3g from T-Mobile where I live so I just keep stock at$t on and flash vk1 when I know ill have access to 3g for awhile.

unlikely
i777 have completely different hardware.
But, what you need exactly (ROM, baseband) and why you need it?
if you need your i777 work better on t-mo network, try flash i9100 modems, may be it'll help.
If there will be problems, you may flash back i777 modem
PS: do not forget to make nandroid backup before flashing

Thanks for the suggestion, I never thought about that, will try it out!

Does anyone know if the AT&T Galaxy Note ROMs can be flashed on our phone? The Bell Galaxy Note (also LTE) comes with AWS HSPA+ and LTE out of the box... if it also has the MDM9200 chip and if the radios could be flashed on our phones, this could enable LTE, AT&T 3G, and AWS HSPA all at the same time!

I would assume not due to the resolution etc but the radios....quite possible they could

It works perfectly ! thank you so much ... !! It changes to 4G speed (4G Icon).
I use VK1 with the light ICESkyrocket Rom.

battery life shouldn't take a beating. I was getting about 24 hours. Had to charge it every other day...
As for upload speeds I usually get around 1mbps

Yeap! stupid me had the use only 2g option selected when taking pics. Waiting for my GF to come by tomorrow to do a nice vid.
You will not need to send phone anywhere and it is working on latest update.
It will be a paid service so will not be posted on forums unless XDA allows me to like how they do for the HTC unlockers...
Only like 5 bucks and free to FRM donators...not much...last I am speaking about it so I do not get in trouble with XDA
If I ever decide to get the droid 2 global over the desire z, I will definitely pay 5 bucks for this.
The only thing stooping me to getting a D2G is battery life
so awesome!! I would love this, so it should be as simple as a flash? I would deff pay for this!
If we already have the new update for the global would it still work to flash this rom?
We also have to already have it network unlocked with the subsidy code right?
How do I become an FRM donator and help fund this awesome development?
You go to the team defuse website and they have a link on how to donate, and they also keep you updated with news there

lol this is not right..now I got go back to D2G from the DX after going to the DX from the D2G ..
I swear, my poor return warranty...is battery life any better yet? Especially on fission? and does it work on T-Mobile also?
well i cant wait! i hope XDA allows you to post this even though you are charging $5 for it. i'm going to buy a d2g as soon as this is released!
i cant wait for this! my only question is are there any random restarts on fission?
PS: the baseband is fully unlocked? (im on a milestone right now so i have no real idea about the d2g)
Can someone tell they will release that work for tmobile? And I have the phone but I can't activate it. When I call verizon they say I need to call my provider tmobile to activate it. Do anyone the same? Please help
Will this also work on the Droid Pro?

Is the T-mobile in the US? If so, the phone doesn't support T-mobile 3G bands anyway.
So if this is the patch released on FRM then it appears to not work with T-Mobile USA as I just tried it without success.
I would really like to see the evidence that this works at all.
A couple of screenshots with no data connection showing is hardly convincing.
I am well aware that it is possible to do, I have it working on my D2G with both T-Mobile and AT&T SIMs with Edge on T-Mobile and Edge,3G and HSPA all working on AT&T using the DroidBandUnlock method.
Their method makes modifications to the radio and I don't see how it is possible to do this via system level patches.
u t-mobile fans got the G2 already and the price is not expensive at all ....
get that one and quit complaining

i dont have a problem with battery life but like the girl said true LTE phone . let me know when you exceed 4mbps down and 300kbps up
I got a 28.94 down, 35.48 up speed test when I was in Manhattan 2 days ago
I actually would have kept the atrix if i could even get 3g speeds.
I never broke 1.5 MB down...
And I live in Phoenix AZ!!
Oh , it also sucks for coverage - I would drive 10 miles out of city limits and go from 4 bars to NOTHING.
Verizon has a fantastic network - but the Atrix is the best phone i have ever had...
I returned the atrix for the thunderbolt..
I'm a long time verizon customer.. the AT&T network was too hit or miss, the phone had bugs.
it was faster, but I don't have verizon 4g coverage here yet in milwaukee. I'm sure that'll change and I can't wait
battery life, the atrix was better, but it had a 1900mah battery.. the tbolt has 1400 and a much larger screen.. i'm scared to see how it gets when I start beating on 4g... I can barely keep it to sustain a change while on the charger using mobile hot-spot.
The consumer is the only one that loses here

Nah - the upload speed is probably wrong due to the TB's huge upload buffer. It's a known issue that upload speeds aren't going to be correct using the SpeedTest app.
But no buffer in the world can improve download speeds, and I more care about that.
the download speed is borked as well, reads too low.

4Mb/s? You can get that with a standard flip phone. Now 4MB/s is a different story.
Either way, the atrix isnt really 4g, and it has a locked bootloader. Good luck, the tbolt also has more dev support and its only been out for one week today. How bout that? Those are the things that really matter. They are both great phones.

After swapping out a NS4G with issues my new one is a champ. Pulling in better speeds than the first one and is at least on par with the EVO for me.

Again Fixxer enough is enough man. Not everyone suffers the issues, none of us know why, but that is how it is. Stop bashing Samsung, and stop overtaking topics at every single forum you possibly can. Just drop it.. You have been flooding Android Central, Sprint community and this. You are bashing Samsung with incorrect info, and then bashing Google. You obviously don't know..

Not every phone has the issue. Since I went from about 20-50kbps on the old one to 450-1100kbps (3G) on the new one.......I'm pretty confident in my claim.
Pulled down 13Mbps on 4G today as well. I'm also seeing steady wifi signal readings vs the first one which was all over the place.
Nice try, though.
Those numbers using multiple speedtests and Speakeasy.net and also in the same house and at work.

All it takes is one ignorant person to make people believe something. Despite what basically one person advocates, reception and data speeds are NOT horrible. Sprint employees will tell u anything. If anything....it's the network itself not the phone.

It's showing you have no bars for 4G? So i'm guessing the signal you have to the 4G tower is weak. Try getting closer, and post results. Just as Wi-Fi, Wimax will lower speeds as signal lowers. Wi-Fi runs at 2.4ghz and Wimax is at 2.5ghz, and both of those will suffer when your losing decibels and RSSI to that signal.

Umm no he wasn't lied to.. Sprint is getting direct information from Google and Samsung. As in the topic posted below showing a Google employee helping with the issue, and now listing it later on it that topic as reported to the dev team and that they are working on a fix. Sprint has never once released any sort of press release on any device concerning issues. Sure didn't with all the EVO problems.

LTE Toggle on AT&T Phone - official response from HTC

"I looked into the situation on this and I can verify that there is not a native way to disable LTE on the AT&T version of the One X. While we don't normally recommend this, you may want to check the Play store to see if there's an app that will give you this functionality. Please be aware that if you run into any concerns through the use of such software we can certainly try and offer assistance, but the use of such an app is at your sole discretion. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns, and thanks for being a member of the HTC community!"
If enough people report this or ask about this. I am hopeful that they'll add LTE toggle natively in the interface.
They could add a toggle, but....I don't think it would work.
I'm pretty sure that AT&T, whether it be in ther SIMS, or just over the network, force the phones to allow LTE. I don't think that I have even been able to disable 3G on an AT&T device since my Moto Backflip. Ha, if I even could on there. (Though technically, the Backflip was my second device...Aria was the first and I broke it thus had to downgrade
tl;dr The problem is AT&T, not software. Custom ROMs with LTE toggles would have the same issue so I can't see how HTC would be able to fix it either
Someone correct me if I'm an idiot
You can toggle off 3G on the AT&T iPhones. Looks like AT&T just has HTC by the balls (pardon my French). Locked bootloader, presumed kernel release delay....
I'd love to be able to turn off LTE when I don't need it. HSPDA is plenty fast to check email and forums (and way better on the battery).

here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27697880&postcount=1
also if you use ASIA 1.88 the option is also there. with the auto switch. so its ATT being douches
its actually pretty simple why ATT wants to force LTE when they can, it simply means you'll use more data, and the more data you use, the more money they make.
Here's just an example, you open a 10 minute youtube video with 3g, you watch maybe 30 seconds and decide not to watch anymore. You may have downloaded 1-2 minutes worth of streaming data, where as with LTE, in that same 30 seconds, you could have downloaded the entire 10 minutes, thus causing more data usage.
that menu from the gsm hack doesnt work though. or it never worked for me anyway. no matter what option I picked it would just go back to the default
It probably built into at&t kernal to not allow it, in did notice with 1.88 kernal you could.

AT&T is the one that is requesting that feature to be disabled because if you flash my hotspot hack, it will enable the feature

Did you read the link I posted ??
It clearly says that you have an odex and deodex'd version
" I included odex'd and deodex'd version with revert versions just in case anymore wants to remove this mod."

Now the big question is, how much better is your battery life when you turn off LTE?
Can anyone safely notice an increase that isn't placebo?
Care to test formally, anyone?
You can disable LTE by adding a new APN which uses wap.cingular. This does work on att without any problems. You can find the APN settings here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675879&highlight=cingular+apn
It does make a noticeable difference in battery life, too.

Checking on 5G and LTE speeds with T-Mobile

Got my phone today and really like the feel, features etc.
Working with the camera now to see how its working...
Biggest issue is 5G, coming from OnePlus 8 and get speeds in my house that keep getting faster.
But Edge is struggling! Motorola Engineers are looking in to it.
Anyone else having issues?
OnePlus speeds:
Motorola Edge speeds:
Random Pictures:
Stupid question from Germany...does the Edge works on 5G since the beginning in the US?
In Germany we're still waiting for the patch.
Edge is my only 5G device so don't have anything to compare it to, but here in Phoenix here is what I'm getting the last few days. Ignore the really bad one, that was at my in-laws place which for whatever reason has been really bad always and I'm thankful to have anything at all. Even though these speeds are plenty for my usage, it kind of stinks to think I might have even better speeds with a different device.

I haven't activated 5G yet but it doesn't seem to improve speed much on this phone. I think I'll save the $$ until Motorola addresses it.

Today I set my edge to prefer LTE and ran speed test then right back to 5g for test. The LTE in my area is much slower, so 5g does make a difference here. 48 vs 15 download speed as shown in screenshot

I see, in this case, I guess it's relative. It must be a location thing. The speeds I'm getting are more than enough for all my uses.
Edit: I know these were all done together but this is what I get at any time of the day or night generally.

I've never come close to 100 Mbps ever with any phone in my area, I wouldn't bother worrying about 5g either at this time.

Speeds improved today Tmobile said tower work was being done in my area...
I am in N Peoria but yesterday was 1st day driving around with this phone and it was all over the place in speed and some areas 4G was faster
So for now its really address specific.
Didnt notice mine till I watched a YouTube today and the kid said the case was super loose by the power button and sure enough I checked and its really bad.
Anyone seen any leather cases ?
Something like this open and easy
ALso anyone getting this when you do a voice search?
I am getting it once to twice a day...
Still working on Gcam pics

Nice what part of Tempe because Sat was over by the Pointe i10 and Elliott and it was average about 40 mbps.
Got to like that 114 better!

Yeah same area but think the 114 still gives hope!
I would still DM them on twitter just to see what they say.
