Hi - Has anyone been able to get their Rogers One X working on Bell's LTE network? I've got it running at 4G only at the moment and tried in a few LTE areas per the coverage map. LTE Sim, APN (pda.bell.ca) and provisioned on the account level. I've been told my data plan is not compatible and would have to change my plan (voice & data) as it's a corporate account.
Anyway - curious if other Bell users have had luck.
Thanks!
May not be much help but LTE works perfect on Telus

Telus and Bell run the same towers so you should be fine, I'm on bell with the HOX but not in LTE zone to test, might do that tomorrow if I'm bored...ill let you know!

How did you get the Telus LTE to work? When ever I turn it on it will show that I'm connected to LTE but I don't get any data...... I have to turn LTE off and let it connect to HSPA to get the data to work.
Edit it seems to be working now I can connect to the LTE network but my LTE speed are only about 10mbps download???????? I know I can get around 16mbps on the HSPA+ network as I used to get these speeds on my HTC amaze. Anyone know why the LTE speeds are so slow?

That would be great - thanks!
I'm currently using pda.bell.ca and tried pda2.bell.ca for a bit with no LTE. Bell techs are saying it may be the plan I'm on (6GB smartphone) but I'm hearing other users have this same data plan and it works.. who knows, it could be the phone itself!
kind of OT but where did you get it unlocked from and for how much? link? thx
to unlock it go to cellunlocker.net , only tooke about 2 hours for me to get the code for 7.99 plus tax, i use them all the time
I'm using the HOX for the last 2month on Bell LTE no problems here LTE kicks in perfectly fine. Mind you there's some spots here in the City where there's not LTE service but even on the 4G network I can manage a could 8mpbs/sec ratio.
Cheers.
Checking back in to this thread - has anyone on a Rogers device updated their radios with a noticeable increase in signal strength and speed? I'm still running the stock radio at the moment.

Hi, am leaving Sprint. Looking to get a used phone (no contract), that will work on monthly plans like TMo prepaid, Straight Talk (ATT)) w/out a contract. I'm reading good things about both the older Vibrant (SGH-T959), and the newer 4g (SGH-T959V). It's clear from my research that people are successuflly unlocking and able to go back and forth between TMo and ATT SIMs on the older Vibrant. What isn't clear to me is can this be done on the newer SGH-T959V?
Again, I don't care much about 4g. 3g on AT&T is fine. But while on TMo, the 4G would be nice.
Thanks!

U can use 4g on tmobile but on AT&T you can only use 2g/edge no 3g

Thanks Brandon. I will then pick up a used, older SGH-T959 (Vibrant), unlock it, and then enjoy the 3g flexibility of both ATT & TMo. It's strange, the T959V is supposed to support the same ATT 3g band as the regular T959, but I can't find proof of this anywhere.

that's affirmative, i'm using it right now with 3G and is very fast
Yes, I also can confirm the 959V (T-Mobile 4g) is 3g on ATT and is very fast.
Not true...

I have SGS4G and am using ATT. I have 3G with no issues...
posted original question here by accident
I am using unlocked 4g on Cincinnati Bell wireless and the 3g works fine.
However I have not been able to get 4g at all on my phone. When I put a Tmobile sim in it works fine one 4g.
I get a little over 2 mbps download on Cincinnati Bell 3g.
You can just unlock it, I'm using mine on att right now. Only thing is you have a backup sync for T-Mobile instead of att.

Yes it can.
I tried my friend's AT&T sim card and it worked with 3G.
Hmm, has anybody gotten 4G on this phone with AT&T?
Does 4G work with an unlocked SGS 4G on AT&Ts network?
no.

3G on AT&T will only work one one of the two UMTS bands: 1900 MHz.
Note that the Vibrant 4G doesn't have the 850MHz band (the other band that AT&T uses for 3G data.)
I've seen a posting that there's a way to activate the 850MHz band, but I have not verified that this works. If anyone has got this working so you're working on both bands on AT&T with your Vibrant 4G, let me know.
As an addendum to my own post, looks like the consensus is that while the Vibrant has an option of selecting the 850MHz UMTS band, it actually doesn't enable anything:

Has anyone speed tested (w/ dual core tele) ST tmo?? Please share speed test results?? ..speed test (dual core) on Simple Mobile 4g plan appreciated too. I'm looking for these comparisons...Help please?
TIA!
I have a question for anyone to anwser. I have an unlocked infuse on tmobile service. We all know that the phone will only get 3G because tmobile and att use different bands. I recently was playing with the network setting and had the option to pick tmobile or att network. Well I pick the att network to see what it would do. Sure enough, I'm on atts network getting faster speeds. My question is what happends if I leave it on this setting? Will I get crazy charges from tmobile?
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
Are u sure u get 3G speed on tmobile ?
What i know tmobile uses 1700 for 3G and infuse does not have that band on ......I may be wrong.
Not sure. I do know when I'm on tmobie settings the data icon says G and E from time to time. And when I'm on the att setting it says H. And my speeds are faster

As you know, the AT&T and T-Mobile merger failed. As part of the agreement, the two companies have entered a roaming agreement where-in T-Mobile's customers can roam on AT&T's 1900Mhz 3G network as long as the phone supports that frequency.
You may want to contact T-Mobile if you're concerned about excessive roaming on AT&T.
t-mobile is "refarming" with 1900mhz support. So you might be the lucky one.
Curious, what city/state are you in?
I'm in lewiston maine

Just got this phone and switched my straight talk sim over. I can't get a 3g connection though, only EDGE. My APN is correct based on the straight talk website, checked it multiple times, any suggestions? It's an AT&T based ST sim, think I need a T-Mobile sim instead?
You may of got a T-Mobile band nexus not the at&t banded one

i use a "att compatible" sim in a i9020a
and a att captivate
both will go thru the whole range of data speeds
up to 3G depending on signal strength...
FWIW

Hey crew so I am using this beast of a phone on ST with T-Mobile. I actually called At&T myself to get the unlock code and they actually gave it to me!( Ive never been with At&t)
So now that I got this bad boy rolling with T-mobile straight talk( because AT&T on ST throttles you nasty!) I have noticed that there are several network types.
Which one is the best one for T-Mobile since in my area they have upgraded their towers to 1900/2100. I cant use LTE on ST period, but i can use HSPA+ with T-mobile. What are you guys using for those of you using this phone with T-Mobile?

Well I don't have t mobile, but I am not in an LTE area. However, LTE devices are backward compatible. So you can use the highest settings for the carrier. I'm pretty sure t mobile is still on Hspa+. So using those settings would work. If not Google for the APN settings

Oh. In that case, that last option should work. T-Mobile is a GSM provider, but you want those HSPA+ speeds, so LTE should fallback to that. If you select GSM, you ,ay get GPRS or EDGE speeds.
Hello, a friend of mine of selling a mint Blaze at a great price. Phone is unlocked and I have service with At&t. However, when I insert the sim only get Edge. Is there any way to flash At&t radios to the blaze? I did search before opening a new thread,,, but wasn´t able to get the info I need.
Any help would be very appreciated!
Thanks!
Nope...edge only

Are you sure? my wife uses the Tmobile s3 with Att and gets 3g. could be this phone runs different frequency's?

He's wrong. It'll run on their H+ network, but that's all. However ATT's H+ mind you is very congested in a lot of places (NYC especially), but it will run.

Should be able to get hspa+ flash a at&t skyrocket radio fix your apn,
I know it works when using T-Mobile on at&t phones I just flashed T-Mobile radios fixed apn got hspa+ speeds, should work vice versa

I have a Blaze running on NET10 using the AT&T sim card. I can achieve H+ with it, and from time to time it shows me 3G then goes to H+ real quick.
I am able to get (depending on where I am here in Central Indiana) 1-2Mbps with H+ and in other areas I get 12Mbps with H+. Here at the house I show H+ with 3 bars right now and get 1.75Mbps down and 0.42Mbps with a ping of 148ms to a speed test site just 16 miles up the road.
I do have to say it is much better then Tmobile here, I was lucky to get 0.17kbps either way on Edge.
I can tell you that it will help you if you go into your settings and select mobile networks then mobile operators and set yourself to AT&T Network only, let me know if this helps any, it did for me. It has kept me from trying to hit Tmobile towers since I am on NET10 which uses both tmobile and att.
