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.

Just got this phone last night, I'm coming from an Evo. Very impressed with the phobe, have no complaints with it. But is AT&T data always this slow? I live bout 10 miles outside Dover, De and Speed Test is showing under 100 kb.
Update, I have gotten a lil over 200kb, but it's usually around 100 or less. I usually get 500-1000kb with my Evo.

Check if your area has 3g coverage. I constantly get 2+ mbits up, but the upload speeds are really crappy. Att has disabled hsupa on these phones for some reason.
Sent from my Inspire 4TH using XDA App
That's way too low for an Inspire 4G. I know the 4G network of AT&T is crippled on these 4G phones right now and there is suppose to be an update for this phone and the Atrix to enable it, but you should be getting around 1000Kb/s. Once the 4G is enabled, the speed should go up to around 3000Kb/s.
If you're rooted I think you'll find this thread about editing the build.prop file to obtain faster cellular speeds interesting.
Im getting 3.5 down and 1.2 up on chicago, you may not be in a 3g area.

I signed up for 4G data plan with AT&T, but have not seen the speeds yet. Guess I will have to wait till the entire AT&T 4G backend is put into effect.
Yes att has disabled the upload and the downloads are changeable. Simply root the device and load a rooted stock rom, or whatever rom you would like to try. Its all in the build.prop file in the main system. I've had 1.6upload since I bought and rooted the phone. And I get 3-5download. Look at the threads,very usefull

My so called 4G is pretty sorry this evening. I'm getting 700k download and 100k (or lower) on the upload.
It's getting on my nerves to be honest. It's no wonder users want to root these phones. I'd like to get the features I originally paid for and what AT&T advertises.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Well u also was never told the exact speeds either. They are still rolling out 3g in many areas. Root it,well worth it. But they can say "4g in dover is affective" but u can hit only 1mbps. They will say "but your in 4g".

Us stock Inspire/Atrix owners are going to need to be patient as AT&T works out all the issues. I have confidence that AT&T will shine through once T-Mobile is absorbed. But they have said the 4G speeds will be enabled on these devices soon.
Just did a speed test on my Inspire and this is the first time I tested where it went over 3,000Kb/s.
Just did a quick test ... 2752k down and 345k up. Perhaps there were network issues last night.
Sent from my rooted Inspire HD using XDA App
When you guys run these speed tests, how do you have the settings set for Animation for the speedtest application? On the new version, there's a slider between 'smoother graphics' and 'better performance'. Does this really affect the download/upload measurements?
Needs some good suggestions.....i finally sim unlock my infuse 5 mins ago.and my tmobile sim is working. But im gettin bad service in tmobile. Is their anymore fix i need or im missing something to make the infuse my daily phone.with tmobile service? Or no chance @all..... tnx
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
At&t uses different radio bands for 3g/4g. You will only be able to access the edge network.
So what do u think using the infuse in tmobile? Is it better to just get the phone thats locked to its own carrier.or the sim unlock phone?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997R using XDA Premium App
Your going to have really slow data. That's the only difference. It will still work just fine just take for ever to use the net and things like that since it will only be on edge. I'd just suggest sticking with a carrier specific phone if your worried about data speeds.

Likely none - I have yet to see an AT&T phone that supported the AWS 3G band that T-Mobile uses.
I'm curious to see how many users here are on WIND (Canada) and how many are on T-Mobile (USA). Post if you're on a different provider as well.
One thing that has bothered me about CM7 is the inclusion of Kineto, the Wi-fi calling app. It's a proprietary T-Mobile app (doesn't work with WIND), it seems strange to be included in a "AOSP-like" ROM, so I'm just curious to see what the ratio is actually like
T-Mobile.
Mobilicity here I wonder how many of other mobilicity people use this phone. I don't mind having to remove Kineto every time I flash a new rom. Most the developers are with t-mobile anyways , so its just a little compromise to use their awesome roms. I hope they keep up their great work!

It's just that ive been with AT&T less than a month got my 1st bill for 3 lines and it's like 850 dollars. so it's like 90 for the family share 1400 and then 30 for the 3GB Data Pro then they switch plans so i get billed both the old rate and the new adjusted rate, for a Tier 1 Carrier they are reallt f****ed Up.
any way if anyone knows how please share a guide or what not Preferably APN settings, ETC ETC

Go with straighttalk from walmart. They'll send you a new sim and apn settings for the inspire. And it's 45 bucks a month for unlimited text, calls and Web. Win!

You don't. Our phones do not support an LTE network.
I was under the impression that the G2X had the (AWS) 4th band at 1700mh and at 1900mh.
If so why wouldn't it work?

Give it up - it does NOT have LTE. When this phone was built, T-Mobile didn't even have a clue how they were going to even IMPLEMENT LTE, let alone have any devices with support for it. Just because the same frequency is used, doesn't mean the same technology is used. The 4G in this phone is WCDMA which is totally different than LTE..
Man, why am I wasting my time.... go away and enjoy your 4G.
Guys, let's not be so harsh on OP.
To answer your question OP, the G2x does not have the hardware required to enable LTE. There is no LTE antenna, amplifier, nor chipset. The best we can get with the G2X is HSPA+ (4G). Hopefully this answers your question.
So just make sure that if they switch to LTE in your area before your contract is up....they give you a phone that works on it. Just sayin....

I'm pretty sure that they won't completely disable HSPA+ in the area if they brought on LTE.
I think, the only people left on the g2x forums are all jaded because of this phone. Don't feel to bad OP just understand that most of the people here have been waiting patiently for something good to happen with this phone for years.
