Will someone explain PRL's and how to improve signal? I have ATT skyrocket and Verizon SG3 and the skyrocket 4g is more consistent and very fast whereas the SG3 runs in 3G or 1x and when LTE is running it's still slow. Any ideas?

Does the Galaxy S 4G get At&t 3G when its unlocked. I unlocked it and it gets at&t 3g. Is it possible?
Galaxy S 4G
Uh...did you just answer your own question?
You just said you get 3g on your unlocked SGS4G.
People are telling me its not possible. I'd like to know if it is. Mine gets it but does it really get it or is the indicador wrong?
Galaxy S 4G
Does it seem like edge network speed. You would be able to tell the difference.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Its fairly quick. Not edge at all. Anyways I guess I did answer it myself just wanted to see if it was possible. Wasn't like that before I sent it in to Samsung so idk...
Galaxy S 4G
The Galaxy S 4G has 3g speed on AT&T 1900mhz band but not on the 850mhz band, where it will be Edge Speed.
I think this was answered a long time ago in one if these threads.

Why dont you install speedtest and check download/upload speed ?
soi switched to verizon four months ago because att service has gotten crappy. now i ordered my verizon s3 and find out that the bootload is locked.... should i switch back to att or stay on verizon? what would yall do?
Is it worth an etf?
i'm on at&t and i'm pleased with my service. i don't live in a major city and i consistently get 6-8mbps down and 1-1.5mbps up. for normal browsing it is more than adequate. no issues with call quality.
i'm also pleased with my phone. with my current configuration (see sig) i'm getting 5000-5100 in quadrant. benchmarks aren't a perfect indicator of how good the phone is, but the number is still impressive.
go back to AT&T
AT&T LTE is faster and Verizon new Share Data isn't all that. Too little data for so much money. AT&T!
We only have 3g where I live for at&t and lte on Verizon. I would keep my Verizon line for home Wi-Fi.

Go to ATT!

Att is faster and eventually get to the point where verizon is at with lte locations.

At&t is very good to us, and the service here is amazing. Then again, Baltimore being so close to D.C. is probably the reason. LTE has been deployed here for awhile and the speeds are insane. We've always had issues with Verizon at my house

Just afraid that I'll start having all those dropped calls again, I don't have any with Verizon

I have the att version I got 24.8mbps dl and 8 ul. No dropped calls either. Pretty amazing device so far

I always prefer gsm carriers to cdma ones. It feels weird having a phone that you cannot use if you travel abroad, especially europe where most carriets are gsm.
do you want locked bootloaders or better coverage?
Wonder if the locked bootloader is going to be a trend for Verizon?

I've been trying to put my GS3 working on T-Mobile and all i can get is Voice And Messages but the Data that i get is only Edge which is slow as a snail.
I've been using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809314
Is there anyway i can get 4G or atleast the 3G?
And is it because of the bands or frequency thing that it doesn't work?
Any help will be appreciated
I'm guessing here...download Verizon radio? See dev section

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.

Every once in awhile 4G isn't available and the phone thunks down to 3G. When it does this I have internet speeds that rival a 300baud modem. I mean I'm lucky to be able to bring up google's home page. I can be standing right beside my daughter who has a IPhone 4S and her 3G speeds are really good. Anyone else have 3G issues?
Happens to me often when driving or on a train. Anything below 4 bars of 3G is awful for me. Verizon's 3G network is terrible compared to Sprints, however their 4G lte is almost as good as WiFi.

Not so true. I just came from a droid 3 to the s3 on big red this week and it would d/l about 3 mbps on the d3 but my s3 can barly get 600 kbps on speed test on 3g. My d3 was rooted and running minimoto rom and my s3 is still stock btw. As far as 4g almost as fast as wifi, ooohhhh yyeeeaaaa. !!!!!

Same thing happens to me, I can be in my friends Apt complex and there is no 3g and I'm standing outside. I usually just turn Airplane mode on then off and it comes back. There are some tweaks you can make to your build.props file to help with speeds, not sure if if they will help...but I got speeds close to 30mpbs one time lol
