Why buy a 4G phone to backtrack to a 3G network?

If you're on cricket cause you can't afford Verizon maybe you should just get a flip phone.... Save the food stamps for food, not thunderbolts....
In all honesty though, I don't even know what cricket is. Lol.

Here is a description in a nutshell: bit.ly/3QllHi
It's a way for anybody with bad credit to get a phone. A lot of my employees have it because they can't afford a security deposit with Verizon or any other large carrier.
Do they ride the bus? Do they call *every* Android device the "Google Phone" or "Droid"? Are they familiar with government assistance? Well sir you have yourself a Cricket customer.
Flashing a Thunderbolt over to Cricket is like parking your Maserati at a swap meet. What a waste.

That's like putting unleaded fuel in a Dodge Viper. She it looks at fancy but its gonna run like crap. Flash a US Cell phone or something. Not a 4G device! Waste!

I appreciate doing this just to do them, and this is cool and all, but if you don't have "Verizon money" then honestly you don't have thunderbolt money either.

Well all u haters love this if im not mistaken can you talk and surf the web at the same time i dont think so i have flashed this fone to cricket as of this morning with 3g and the ability to use DATA while in an active CDMA fone call

I don't understand the outrage here, but everyone is entitled to their opinion, I suppose. I, for one, think it's a nice development for the select few who may want it--or even if only to say it has been accomplished. Good work, dexter.

Seriously if someone buys a Bolt retail without contract you're paying north of $600 on retail outlets like Amazon. So you get a Bolt from VZW for $150 (maybe even $99 when they run sales) plus you pay for a month of service + data and cancel ($175) and you're still around $400. That's a lot of wasted money to get a Bolt that's not going to be using LTE. This kind of kills the affordability of Cricket.
Have you seen Cricket's data coverage map? I think I can step in and out of it no matter where I am. One step to the left...coverage. One step to the right...no data.
Android plan on cricket is $55/mo too so you're not saving a ton of money per month for Crapit I mean Cricket.
Alright I'm off my Cricket soapbox but seriously nice work getting it working on their network.

VZW Cancellation fees are $350 for a phone, plus $150 for the phone, another $100 for a month of service. Making the total price 600+. Either way he was paying 600+.
But if you can pay $600+ for a phone, but can't afford a monthly plan from verizon, you are doing something wrong.

Typing in short hand is akin to only speaking monosyllabic words... People can understand you without issue, you just look like an idiot more often than not. Especially doing so while making an untrue claim.

T-Mobile vs Straight Talk (AT&T)

Hi guys, just curious as to whether you think it would be a better option to go with straight talk using AT&T's network, or chance it with T-Mobile (unlocked phone). The thing is, I am not sure if this phone will receive data properly with T-Mobile, as I understand it, the frequencies are different.
So, do you guys think I should try to chance it?? Also, how does T-Mobile's HSPA+ compare to AT&T's?

HSPA+ on T-Mobile is fine, but you're not gonna get it with a one x. So... Go with straight talk.
Sent from my htc_evita using xda app-developers app

Ok, thanks. I heard that T-Mobile is doing reforms to their network, but wasn't sure if it would apply to me in this case, and if they were ready or not.

I've been using straight talk for my last two phones, and the HOX. Service has been pretty good, no issues especially since they openly allow bringing your own phone. Data is almost always at H, with a few occasions where it drops to edge.

Straight Talk gave me the boot after using 1GB of data. The only good thing to come of it was being able to port my number to T-Mobile. I hate to say it, but Straight Talk is shady.

I'm using T-Mobile Monthly 4G now and all I see is EDGE in the city of Little Rock. I get a bar or two of 3G once I leave out to surrounding areas. No Root, No 3G/4G.

I did not use the proxy. It seems that AT&T reported that my usage was "excessive" (at 1gb?) and they gave me a phone call that was extremely distorted. I couldn't understand it at the time, so I called them up. In retrospect I would have ignored it.
Here is the message...

Hmm, seems like I'm going to have to be pretty careful on my ST account than.
I am getting a T-Mobile sim I ordered (before I knew it wouldn't work) in the mail today, ST sim comes tomorrow. Should I even try the T-Mobile one? Is there any chance at all I will get data?
Thanks for all the responses though guys!
EDIT" @ ackliph, it says you use Monthly4G with your One X in your sig? I used to use that for all my other phones, any luck?
EDIT 2: Nevermind, I see your other post. Do you think that has to do with service in your area or the phone not being able to receive that data band?

Damn bro, that sucks. Just order another sim and use a different email to set up account. Just an option i guess? My apn settings seem to b working so far. I dont watch much youtube. Maybe 1 vid a week or so. But ya, sorry u had that problem. What settings did u have set for your apn? Heres mine.....and all is well so far.

I bought the HOX after T-Mobile started turning on the 1900mhz data in the Seattle and surrounding areas. It doesn't seem to be officially deployed as the store associates can't confirm if it's active and stores also aren't advertising iPhone users.
SO it's mostly Edge service for now but in many areas I have been getting 3G and H signals and speedtest gets well over 8Mbps, not to be confused with 8mbps. More than enough for mobile use once they officially launched 1900 in the area.

You will get data. It'll just be EDGE. And I'm certain if you bought another SIM later they could switch them on the account.
As far as data, it's the band. My Galaxy Exhibit worked great. 4G and all. The HTC One X works great on AT&T/ST, but when you put in a T-Mobile SIM, welcome to EDGE. I think maybe T-Mobile is starting to open up more bands for the iPhone? Good luck... but T-Mobile is not as vast as AT&T so you might get frustrated if you travel.
@zounduser those look exactly like my settings. I may have had port 80 in the first Port section though. Oh, and be careful with that kennel.
Another thing to note about Monthly4G: they do not let you modify you're voice mail provider. A bit frustrating if you use Google Voice like me.

it looks like T-Mobile will likely be using their LTE spectrum to roll out its own LTE service
http://androidandme.com/2012/10/car...obile-combined-company-to-be-called-t-mobile/
from the comments:
"MetroPCS already has a LTE network on AWS spectrum, which is the same spectrum that T-Mobile plans to roll out LTE in 2013. It sounds like this merger will only accelerate T-Mobile’s network upgrade."

EDIT: however, I'm not sure how this will affect pre-paid on T-Mobile. Right now, there is no LTE on MVNO's and I'm sure that will likely remain the case for a while.

Anyone use Straight Talk

My contract is about to expire in a few months with ATT. Im trying to decide if I want to keep their service or try Straight Talk or use another GSM SIM. Anyone else use re-fill SIM cards as their primary service? Or should I just stick with ATT.

I've been using it for several months with no problems. 3g & 4G work great.
Sent from my Inspire 4G

Same here
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium

good hear. I might pickup a sim and give a try for a while. Or a Tmobile one.

I'm in the Houston area and ATT is horrid where i'm at... I talked to some friends that had Tmobile and they raved about the service in the area.
tmobile recently has restructured it's 3g to use the 1900mhz that ATT 3g uses so i'd get 3g in my area even though the inspire doesn't have the tmobile radios for 3g
so I ended up jumping ship to T-mobile prepaid $30 a month 100 min unlimited talk 5gig "4g"
I get better phone service everywhere I've been to compare but data didn't work at all (had the check mark next to the H+ symbol)... after some digging I found I just needed to update the APN info to Tmobile specs... my mother-in-law went to tmobile prepaid the same time I did (I set everything up) and that wasn't the case with her phone.
The hspa speeds are much better then what I got from ATT but i'm at the edge of Houston so if I go to certain areas I drop down to edge.
so in short... if you've been happy with ATT service in your area I'd stick with their towers but if tmobile has better coverage AND has either updated to 1900mhz in your area OR you can live with edge data speeds consider moving to tmobile.
I'm going to stick with tmobile... I'm going to pick up a new phone at some point so I do't have to deal with the limited data locations
one other thing to consider... if you use google voice some carriers don't support changing the voicemail box... it appears t-mobile prepaid is this way... a few people have figured out how to jump though those hoops but it's not easy

Using my inspire on net ten and couldn't be happier

I live in NYC so i have a big gsm coverage map between ATT & Tmobile. I am thinking i will try Straight talk for a month or two, if it sucks i will swtich back to ATT.

I;ve been with ST for years now, finally got a smartphone (HTC 4g). I get all the same service anyone gets with ATT plans for $45 a month. I think a person would be silly to not get on ST. I know ST caps their "Unlimited" plans, I have never recieved any messages stating I am getting near tht , and I keep FB, Messenger, News Feeds, and weather running all the time, along with being a you tube addict, Watching full length videos (45 min - 2hour shows)........and Hey $45 a month.
ATT coverage, it is what it is.................

Like I said I use my inspire on net10 which is actually exactly the same company as straight talk and tracfone. I have found that using a dual apn setup instead of the single apn straight talk, tracfone, and net10 give you and it has literally doubled my data speeds. If anyone who has an inspire and is with one of these providers you can pm me if you would like to try the settings I use

Thanks for pointing out StraightTalk, have been looking at T-mobile's 30/mo plan but may try them instead.

So its possible to get straight talk without buying a phone outright? Tired of paying $160/ month for 2 phones...

straightalk and net10 are owned by the same parent company so service is probably about the same. I noticed a couple days ago that straightalksim.com only had tmobile sims all of the sudden. walmart online still had both
I have been on straightalk att sim since the nokia e71 sim (before they just offered sims) my brother got two sims from straghttalksim.com and both phones work great. if you get the att sim on att phone calling and text work out of the box. You simply change the apns in settings and data works

be careful about porting numbers with the VMNO's my dad did it several years ago and had nothing but problems, he ended up going back to Verizon dispite the huge cost savings
to the OP... and anyone else looking to take the phone with them... call or chat with ATT (I find the online chat to be far easier) and have them sim unlock the device... it opens up any GSM network... while 3g isn't a sure thing it'll at least make calls and on edge...

in short nothing that YOU can do... at least not with the inspire 4g...
T-mobile has used the 1700 and 2100mhz band for it's 3g service... ATT uses 850 and 1900mhz for it's 3g band
in the last few months Tmobile has reworked it's network to use the 1900mhz for 3g, they have done it in a number of large markets (including my home area in Houston) so I can get 3g/4g hspa+ speeds with the att radio... this is all in preperation for tmobile to open up it's LTE markets

Tmobile will prob at some point upgrade your market but when is anybody's guess... if you have 3g/4g avl int he area on the tmobile network a new phone is going to be the easiest way...
a Galaxy Nexus GSM or Nexus 4 will give you both the att and tmobile frequencies... or for $200 you can get a new LG optimus l9 from Tmobile that will get the 3g/4g from tmobile...
even in my area I get bounced to 2g/edge a little to frequently so i'm going to pick up a new phone... i'm still debating on exactly what phone I want to get... with LTE right around the corner the nexus 4 is so tempting...

Im actually working on the Tmobile project here in the NYC area. They are using the $6B they got from ATT for the failed merger to upgrade their system wide. The upgrade is going on nationwide and will probably take some time to get going in your area. They always start in the major markets before moving to the small ones. Tmobile upgrade started probably just over a year ago.

Verizon's Galaxy S3 - using on Straight Talk

So,
I've read with android v4.1.2, this phone is factory unlocked. If I cancel my contract with verizon, can i switch directly over to Straight Talk (on AT&T network)? Is there something more I need to do besides maybe a factory restore? I would appreciate any help or if this topic has been shared already and i have over-looked it, please point me in the right direction.
Thank you.

You'll have to have it flashed to ST. PM Viper32. I'm gonna get him to do mine when this month is up.

As far as I've heard, the data connection is EDGE only without 3G or 4G. Is this correct?

My honest opinion? With these speeds, you'd be hard pressed to use that much data. I can't speak on ST policy or know why they'd boot you. Seems a bit ridiculous. Unless you go over your plan?

I used to be a Straight Talk customer with my HTC One X. I left them due to the terrible service, and not having the same reception and priority as AT&T, even though I had an AT&T SIM in it. You be warned and dropped if you use over 2Gb of data. You can be warned and dropped, if you use streaming video (youtube etc...)
Their plans simply arent designed for that. And you cant blame them.... as youre only paying $45/month here in the U.S. If you want more data. If you want more data without limits on how you use it (streaming video etc...) then you need a bigger plan from a different carrier. You cant expect it all, for $45/month.
Also, I dont think any company like straight talk, will give you 4G. They are piggybacking off of the towers of big carriers.... those carriers dont want you clogging up their 4G network through Straight Talk (or any other) for only $45/month

LTE on ST

I have an unlocked Motorola Atrix HD (AT&T) Ive been using on ST for close to a year. At first, I only had "fake 4g" aka hspa+ which isnt terrible. My speeds were between 4-6 mbps.
The day I heard att was allowing lte on st I bought a new lte compatible sim from st for $7. I threw it in my phone, updated my apns and have been running lte ever since. Speeds are between 8 - 16 mbps now.
Only issue is sometimes ppl dont get my texts. Its really random so it hasnt been enough of an issue for me to change anything. I probably just need to tweak my apn but its fine for now.
As for streaming, I stream music quite a bit, youtube any time I want, and even netflix a time or two. Never had an issue. Now I also use less than 2gigs a month. For whatever all thats worth

ATT i337 on T-Mobile's LTE

Hi guys just want to share something and as I type I See this is already well known fact but I'll do it anyway cause it's just so awesome !
For many years I had to chose very carefully what phone I get and if I have any plans to go somewhere because in 99% of the phones will not do so good unless you're on specific carrier that you phone is made for. For years now I am an ATT customer and I always had ATT phones and as always no matter what plan I had or speed I had on ATT when I insert T Mobile, Simple mobile or any other off brand companies (T-Mobile towers) I'd had EDGE. That's why SGSII i989 was for me one of the best phones because no matter what I choice I always had 3G on it, on ATT and T-Mobile carriers. And now this. I have i337 and what an amazing phone I just took my wife T-Mobile sim card with LTE service, and damn thing worked like a charm. No problem at all. I have custom rom so all APN settings even got installed and magic LTE:13 is status window. Speed tests are amazing as well 23 Mbit down and 10Mbit up. So once again I know people know about it but for those that don't you can use i337 from ATT with ANY GSM carrier in US. Because all GSM carriers are off ATT towers like H2O or Red pocket and off T-Mobile like Simple Mobile, Go Smart etc will work on good speeds. Finally I can forget about EDGE with one device.
P.S.
Let me know if there are some carriers that will not support this unit. (I don't see how if in US only 2 GSM carriers that supply towers to rest)

What rom are you using? And where do you live? I'm also use att galaxy s4 on tmobile. I did pick up lte signal two days ago, and it said lte 14. By that time, my phone was untouched, all stock. So I wonder how can that happen and does anyone know if tmobile is rolling out new band or what?

the att s4 does support tmobiles lte band but it will not get 3g or 4g hspa+ unless you live in an area where tmobile has updated their towers to give off 3g or 4g hspa on att bands otherwise you will get edge. there is a method i used to unlock the tmobile aws band on the att s4 which will give you 3g or 4g hspa+ in any tmobile area no matter if they have the updated towers or not.

Try to switch APN to fast.tmobile.com instead of epc.tmobile.com. I just tried, and it worked beautifully.

I don't have an older device. On my S4 its still volume down+power. It maybe ROM related, because I've always run aokp, that's what my SS combo has been.

If u r using task's ROM, go to setting, toggles, then in toggles there is an option to have screen shot button be in the notification area. Pull down the notif.area and u'll see screenshot button.

I believe the correct APN is fast.T-mobile.com not fast.tmobile.com. Try that.

i get LTE on my i337 on T-Mobile as well but I disabled it and prefer HSPA+ most of the time.. HSPA+ is fast enough and gets me much better battery life

I have i337 on UppWireless, which uses Red pocket intermediate provider,
which, in turn, uses T-Mobile or AT&T services. I subscribed for 4G, but
I have only EDGE. Is there anything I can download to get my 4G?

T-Mobile apn settings
Apn: fast.T-Mobile.com
Mmsc: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
Apn type : default, mms, supl, dun
Leave the rest untouched, keep in mind that some roms LTE wont work, im running Phoenix rom and havent had any issues so far.

were you able to hijack the dialer if you were can you tell me how you did it and for the 4g thing you might have to configure the apn setting and uppwireless has that on their website
