3g on Att?

Can anyone confirm that this works on att network? Even on tmobiles website it says it supports the 850 band but i saw a report on engadget that they were having trouble connecting. Can anyone tell me if this phone has a locked bootloader? As of now i have an atrix but i would prefer vanilla android.

It currently only supports ATT 2G. The hardware is capable of 3G but the bands are blocked out. There is some hope they can be enabled via a software fix, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

This is typical for carrier phones. Of course they don't want to sell a phone that works great with other carriers. The Phone supports the bands but the radio/software is blocking use (per Tmobile). It was already quoted that Tmobile will unlock the AT&T 3G once the merger goes through.
The bootloader is unlocked. We already have root and Clockwork Recovery setup on stock Android. LG has even already released the source for the kernel. CM7 is also already on the phone but not quite prime time.
Once custom roms are published, we'll be good to go. Coming from a Nexus One, I'm glad this phone is just as open.

I'm sure someone will unofficially enable the at&t 3G, just give it a little time.

Source link?

The service manual clearly states that the phone only supports WCDMA FDD1(2100) and FDD4 (1700). Theres no mention of WCDMA FDD5(850) anywhere, not even in the block diagrams of the RF circuits.

How many posts do we need about this?

[Q] G2X on AT&T data issues?

Sorry if this is redundant folks, but a friend of my stepfather has been having some issues. He recently purchased a G2X, used it for a month or 2 on T-Mobile, but now wants to switch to AT&T with his girlfriend. He's gotten pretty far, getting the IMEI from T-Mo and getting it actually unlocked. He's now got Calls and Texts up and running on AT&T's network, but he can't get any data to work. We know that 3G won't work on it, but we assumed EDGE would.
Any help here? I'm sure it something reasonably simple.
Please and thanks, XDA!

There's a thread in the SGS2 dev section with AT&T's APN settings. They probably need to be changed in the phone.

Mine is unlocked and I tried my wife's at&t sim and had no issues connecting to internet. Not that that helps you, just wanted to throw in my experience. I wonder if it makes a difference which type of rate/data plan the at&t sim is on.
G2X CM7

Thanks Barry, I found that thread and sent him the APN settings. I'll post back tomorrow with results.
And thanks for your input phburks. The reason why yours worked may be that you're running CM. Our g2x is running stock Android.

droid 2 global on tmobile?

Hey there,
I been reading other sites and have read that it is not possible to use a droid global on tmobile, but I been seeing a lot of posts here with people who have done it, for me it would be a whole lot cheaper to be able to use my droid 2global on tmobile, so if anuyone would be so kind as to let me know where I could find steps on how to do it, or any form of directions I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you

Look for the d2g on at&t the use the same radio type (gsm) you just won't get 3G from my understanding.

I've been wondering this too. I kinda like the D2G and they're getting really cheap on Craiglist, so I thought about getting one to use on Simple Mobile, but I don't want to get one if I cant use it at all. 2G speeds are fine with me, I just want service!

Tmobile is good on D2G. I'm using it now, with CM7 and the new band hack.

[Q] AT&T to VZW

First of all, sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum or if it has been asked somewhere already, but I was not able to find it anywhere though Google and searching through this site.
Anyways, I was wondering if it is possible to fully and effectively unlock a AT&T S3 to use on the VZW network. I know vzw has a secured cdma network that only allows approved devices but with all the great devs out there, is there some wah to do it? Thanks for any input !

I don't think you can do that as Verizon uses different lte bands and two its cdma network even tho it uses a sim! I could be wrong but I know it can only work the other way round but thats only on 3G tho

I have the same problem except the other way around...I want to convert a Verizon one to att. I already flashed a AT&T rom and have working voice and data, but only 2g which is so slow, I don't even remember how I lived with it. I'm thinking of just buying a motherboard from the att one and sticking it in my Verizon one. Does anyone know if the motherboard has the part I need for the radios, or is the radio separate?

Sounds easier to try to do a trade on Craigslist or something.

I've also running on EDGE connection, which is horrid, but livable. Due to thaat I'm running a T-Mobile network on a Verizon S3.

Anyone know if a droid mini will work on T-Mobile or AT&T?

Simple question really...anyone know?

All the same. I think I saw ultra confirmed.

4G works on T-Mobile. From what I understand, it will not work on AT&T. You will only get 3G connections.

That's fine, all I want or need is hspa speeds. I'm not in a tmobile refarmed area so I am guessing at&t is my best bet.

Maxx on aio (att) wireless gets h and h+. I get a Sim warning at every boot but other than that it works fine

I can confirm the MAXX works on HSPA+ on AT&T just fine. No SIM warning. So the Mini will be good to go.

Well I can answer the question about T-Mobile myself now, it works just fine with LTE disabled and that's all I needed. I've actually already moved to a droid maxx and it works fine as well. Time to move over to aio this next week and try them out.
