I just recently bought my first Chinese phone, the STAR B94M, and I'm using it with T-Mobile and was wondering how I can get it to work with 3G or 4G? It doesn't seem to move out of EDGE even though I'm in a 4G area.

I am moving to the UK in a few weeks. I am currently with T Mobile USA and was wondering if anyone knew how will my devices work over there. I know i will need to get them unlocked but i have a few 4g phones and dont know if they use the same service there. I have the following devices, MyTouch 4g, Samsung Vibrant and Samsung Vibrant 4g, galaxt tablet.
Thanks in advance.
I believe you can call t mobile and let them know youre moving and they will let you know what to do.. If I'm not mistaken the gsm band is different in uk so they csm tell you if your phone if compatible..

yes I can call t mobile and they can unlock them I was just wondering what band for service do they use there.
Hi guys,
First of all my apologies if I couldn't find this question in the current forums. I'm the proud owner of my imported Motorola XOOM 3G 32GB from USA to The Netherlands, and I started reading a lot in the XOOM section of XDA-Devs (already have a HTC HD2 with Android so already got a lot of Droid experience).
I've already rooted (& unlocked??) my XOOM with 1-Click Root & Unlock, but when I plug in my T-Mobile Netherlands SIM card, the tablet keeps hanging on 'Activating your XOOM..' (or something). Why is it called 1-Click Root & Unlock but it doesn't unlock my XOOM? Is it just for USA cellular?
I've also red a lot about the fact that they use other hardware in the USA for 3G data than in de EU (EV-GE(?) vs HSDPA), is this the reason why I can't use my 3G function in European Union? I don't hope so because when that's true, I purchased about 200 euro more on a 3G function which actually don't work here.
Please let me know if it's possible to use the 3G, or tell me the hard and painfull truth that it's not going to work in EUROPE ?
Any h4cks or something would be great!
Let me know and best wishes from the land of wooden shoes, The Netherlands.
Max.
Pretty sure your trying to activate a Verizon 3G version (cdma) on a uk 3G network (gsm). Not possible...at all...period...

I am looking for a new phone but don;t want to get stuck with a WiMax 4G phone again when I could be using the local LTE 4G that is around me.
I would be interested in peoples comments on a new phone.
Thanks
I'm confused the only carrier I know of that has wimax is Sprint and they don't have LTE yet, so what I'm guessing you are asking is if there is any Samsung LTE phones for Verizon or ATT am I correct?
The only phones I can think of that have LTE on those carriers that are Samsung are the Galaxy nexus,note,skyrocket,Droid charge, and the stratosphere.
Your best bet is the galaxy nexus...good all around (LTE only with Verizon)
I have a brought my European One S to USA. I am on Tmobiles mothly4g plan but my mobile internet speed does not go up more then Edge. Does my phone allow me to use Tmobiles 4g or at least 3g? I am a little confused with all the radios and everything, is there any way I can make 4g work on my European One S? Thank you!
I don't think the International one s has the tmo 4G bands. You'd be better off with like a straight talk att sim.
Hi just wondering out there how many ppl in general with the note edge are getting low 4g or lte signals. Recently just got mine and my signal is real low between 1-2 bars sometime in the city where 4g is strong i still get 1 or 2 bars. If I compare it to my old phone I'm getting full reception and real 4g speed. Not sure if it just my phone or is it a common problem everyone else has. Any feedback wil be good. I am in Australia on the telstra network. My edge is N915G running on baseband ANK4.
Same issue i think
I have the SM-N915S model from Korea and i am in The Netherlands on T Mobile.
My note 3 works on 4G yet when i install same sim card into Note Edge i dont get 4G (Or LTE as its called on phone)
I am wondering if its because the network frequency in Korea is 850/900/1800/2100 and Netherlands is 800/1800/2600??
There is also no option to make it automatically switch between the 2. It only has the option for LTE or 3G.
I am also wanting to know if rooting the phone would enable the access?
Is there a way to root the phone and turn it into the SM-N915Y model for Europe in the hope this will fix the issue?
I am new to this and studying up on rooting phones.
Any help would be appreciated...
i am hearing it is a known issue with the Note Edge across all platforms. I am suffering from the same thing.
