if the Skyrocket HD is what I think it is (Galaxy SII LTE HD) then it's a different phone. And yes, if you could, get a S3 from overseas. Or pray that it comes when it's still cool
If you guys ACTUALLY paid attention to the announcement, US is getting the SIII in June.

Im pretty sure the SR HD is going to be a bell exclusive. I remember seeing something about it online somewhere.

They just said Summer when I watched the live feed. That's anywhere from June to August. They were not specific on a date.

Or a provider. One rumor is that Verizon gets it first.

The way Verizon did the Galaxy Nexus I would think Sammy would be discouraged to start with Verizon. ATT got the Note, Sprint just got the Nexus, maybe it's Tmo's turn for a break-sclusive. with no LTE, I wonder if Tmo's, will have the Exynos SoC?
I guess I don't really care, it looks like I'm with AT&T and the Skyrocket for awhile.

Same here... mine isn't until the end of October .. hopefully by then, one of these phone manufacturers will pull there heads out if each others arses and figure out this bug with quad-cores & LTE, instead of chopping excellent products just to work in the US.

The only logical upgrade after the skyrocket is a quad core phone with LTE built into the chip set only. I don't care what company does it but that's who I'm buying.
I want more power, more battery and LTE. Only one good way of achieving that so I'm really hoping that when Samsung said 4G integrated on the S3, they were talking about LTE.

S3 .. NO LTE .. the only way to get LTE on the S3 is to do the same as they did with the HTC One X .. swap the quad-core for dual .. again !!!

The quallcom dual core is as fast if not faster than the nvidia quad core.

And again .. like HTC, Samsung jumped the gun in regards to doing the same thing .. wanting to get into the quad-core market .. even with the problems on neither the Exynos or Tegra3 support LTE.
Lets wait to see what Qualcomm has up there sleaves in regards to there first quad-core processor .. maybe Qualcomm can figure out the bug before both Samsung and nVidia does .. hopefully.
I hear there has to be good combos to have best experience on Skyrocket with T-Mobile.
Right Now
ROM: CM 10.1 Nightly
Kernel: Moretz R1
Radio:UVLI4
This radio is good but I live in a area with amazing 4g and I only get 3g with rare chance of 4g and help? Anyone else with better combo?

You can try using the TMo Galaxy Note radio. It works very well for me. Here's the link:

I am also on CM10.1 nightly and using my skyrocket on T-mobile.Get 10 down and a couple up most of the time.

You made a huge mistake switching to tmobile!!
There is nothing called "combo" when it comes to using Skyrocket with t mobile (and in my opinion it makes things worse as you might have to troubleshoot both sides radio and rom problems) ... It is just the radio that can be fine or not depending on the area , and in some areas now t mobile switched their data freq to 1900Mhz so even stock UCLF6,UCLI3 or UCLL3 can work , including 4G

not my mistake. husband threw a fit about att and now we are all going to switch to something else. I opted tmo for myself, granted I should've bought a tmo phone and save me some headache. I'm stuck with Edge with no home WiFi. long story... I'm PO'd but in my marriage I pick my battles, fighting about mobile network is futile imo.

Even if it's not for you , but I must say I've been with the BYOD att SIM from ST now for a year and never had a problem, calls and data are exactly like when I was on att ....

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

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.

Hey all.
Lifelong Verizon user looking at the Nexus 5. Would have to go with Sprint as they are the only other carrier with coverage in my area (and only 3G for the time being).
I've had many Android devices in the past and have unlocked/rooted/flashed them all. I'm only used to CDMA/LTE and seeing carrier specific branding on custom ROMs though. Does it not matter with the N5? I thought there was a difference between Sprint (LTE) and AT&T/T-Mobile (GSM) but perhaps I'm mistaken. Would appreciate any clarification.
Thanks.
Nexus 5 isn't available for Verizon. Nexus has the radio frequencies for sprint T-Mobile and at&t so all you need is the APN and it works

It could still work, we'd need someone to test. The M7 developer edition supported T-Mobile but only on 3G/FauxG. But flashing the T-Mobile radio to it enabled LTE connectivity.

Possibly. But the spec sheet for our model doesn't mention the T-Mobile compatibility we've seen so far. I wouldn't be even slightly surprised if HTC just used software/firmware to disable bands (or maybe not at all) in order to avoid making 5+ different pieces of hardware.

According to the website, yes. But it very likely has the CDMA radio hardware in there in order to save HTC the cost of manufacturing multiple devices. Much like how our locked model can connect to T-Mobile LTE, though you will find no mention of those bands being supported.
