[Q] Q: Modem Flash - Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G

Has anyone flashed a at&t modem to a Blaze 4g yet with success? I was wanting to try, to see how my speeds would be. I am on straight talk network and had a note :laugh: and was getting 24MB download speed now using the blaze and only getting 3MB download speed. If anyone has fixed this issue or flashed a att modem please help???

was the note from TMO or at&t. If it was at&t it may have an lte radio

Yea the note was a atnt phone and it had LTE. I dont think Straight talk will let me connect to atnt LTE though i thought i was just there normal operating speeds? Im a lil lost with this one. :crying:

I don't think that the blaze has the proper hardware for lte. (%68.993 positive)

No blaze does NOT have LTE radios but it does have Hspa+ Radio for tmaobile and At&t so u can get 21+mbps on either network theoretically but who really does

The stock modem (either UVLB7 or UVLH5) already has support for both T-mobile (1700 MHz) and AT&T (1900 MHz) bands. I used ST sim cards from both T-mobile and AT&T, and I was getting 3g and 4g (well, really 3g+) speeds from them. The highest speed on ST AT&T sim was ~6 mbps, and on ST T-mo sim was a whooping 15 mbps. The bottom line is that there are no other radio firmwares to flash.

I just think its weird how i can get suck good speeds with an att phone and worse speeds using a tmobile phone but using the same sim card.

Skyrocket for a Tmobile sgs2

I'm thinking about trading my t mobile s2 for the skyrocket. The reason I want to do this is because t mobile is going to be getting 4g lte, does anyone know if the skyrocket will work on the 4g lte since the skyrocket has the same bands as t mobiles lte?

uh I believe this is wrong. They were working on using our skyrocket radio to try and activate the present but disabled LTE chip in the sgs2, but to my current knowledge haven't succeeded yet. Even with an unlock, no LTE for u...yet

flash a full tmobile odin restore on your skyrocket.
its the same device
I am about 80% certian
yeah ill pass, I'm not bricking my skyrocket. The sgs2 is exynos, while the skyrocket is snapdragon. im 100% certain.
So of I were to get the skyrocket and Odin it to tmobiles version,would it just disable the lte or keep it enabled

Tmobile LTE wont come out til late 2013. Maybe early 2014.
T-Mobile T989 is the same as the Skyrocket other than the fact that the Skyrocket has LTE, and a shifted orientation sensor, probably to accommodate the LTE.
They did a fair bit of research on this over on the T989 forums and the end result was it doesn't have an LTE modem.
Also, regarding original question, Skyrocket LTE modem probably won't work on T-Mobile LTE when it rolls out. Wrong frequencies.

Verizon SG3 running 3G or 1x... poor signal...

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?

[Q] How to activate 4g using terminal?

Hi, first i just wanna say sorry if my english its pretty bad.
I just wonder if anyone knows how to activate the 4G because i just have 4 options:
Only 2G
Only 3G
Automatic 2G/3G
Automatic 2G/3G/4G
But there's no "only 4G" option, and im always on H+
And yes actually my company offered 4G services where i live, btw im from Mexico and my company is Telcel.
But i was looking for some kind of code to activate 4G and disable H+
My theory is... i got better signal with H+ thats why im always connected with that band.
So, if anyone of you could help me i will be glad

For me I get 4g all the time.....when I don't have 4g that's because I'm in a area that doesn't have 4g so it drops down to 3g
I'm not sure what ur trying to do
If u disabled H+ and 4g wasn't available.. u would have no service

I thought there was something with the radio driver that will pick the best connection between 3g and 4g
I don't think u can mess with custom radio unless ur bootloader is unlocked..maybe a custom PRL actually

I know, i love the 4G, but seems we got a lot of dow load speed because there's not a lot of people with a 4g phone now, maybe in a few months the download speed will be a little more... slow.

the real problem is that the version of LTE that Verizon handles is different from the version that handles Telcel, I've been investigating and no way to change it for now, that Verizon handles HD Maxx and until there is another company that can handle it and make a different version of the radio to change to support Telcel, no momentary solution. i'm from mty, send me a private message for a better explanation or explanation in spanish jajajajajaja

[Q] T Mobile LTE on LG G2X?

How can you get T Mobile LTE network working on the G2X?

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.

AIO Question

My Nexus will be here tomorrow and I'm wanting to sign up with AIO's $60 plan. On their site it is asking for an IMEI. My concern is that the new Nexus IMEI may not be compatible with their 4g network. Has anyone else had success with AIO? I don't want to be stuck on 3g. Should I be seeking an IMEI from another device as a work-around? If so, what device, and where? My current phone is a 1st gen HTC Evo with sprint. Any help and advice is much appreciated!
Ive been wondering the same thing also.

They're using AT&T's network, I'm on it right now and get HSPA, HSPA+, and LTE. Works 100% fine. Used the same SIM card on my nexus 4 and had great service.

I've also wondered if AIO's LTE (AT&T) will work on the N5. So you have the N5 and it is working no problem? How are the speeds on LTE and HSPA+ (yes i know they throttle, just wondering how it feels)??

Unfortunately i don't have have a Sim to swap. I'm wondering if I order one using the IMEI from the new Nexus 5 will I be able to access 4g? Or will I be bumped to 3g because the Nexus 5 does not show up in their system?
Using Aio SIM from my N4 with not so good reception where I live and getting decent speed.
FYI, the N4 wasn't in their system either and needed the EMEI to activate.
Activating a nexus 5 on aio will be a cake walk. Nothing like the problems people over on sprint are having.
