WIND or T-Mobile?

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!

Wind! was running Weapon G2x with the wifi calling app installed till i figured out how to remove it! now im running MIUI G2x-SinghUI so it doesnt come installed. I believe miui has so much more to offer to stock android experience, its just so much "easier" Its like taking android and iOS and forming one super o/s

lol where exactly do you live that you don't get any signal from the big carriers. seems almost pointless havin a plan just for wifi callin. I would imagine it would ne hard to have wifi all the time.

My girlfriend went to North Carolina once and with all of the hills and mountains (well they're mountains compared to Texas ) she got no bars. Luckily her old HTC Shadow 2 had wifi calling.

I tried GR and used it for some hours and same thing. My sister is stock Froyo and is having issues too but my gf and dad live in different region and they are not having problems so I guess it is a problem with the carrier and my area.

Where are you seeing all these lte issues? Beside even if it is dropping its better than Sprints NO LTE.

I have seen people complaining that it keeps kicking them down to 3g. But you are right the speed difference is huge. And no I don't have to pay an etf. I just have to send then all of my phones. Witch sux I just got the sgs3 two weeks ago

I am just trying to get a feel for issues if any at all. You know how some people whine and you can't get a good idea on a phone I assume it will be about the same with way better coverage and ddata speeds.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

A lot of the lte drop you may be hearing of comes from the cynogen mods and aokp roms. But Verizon has the most solid lte coverage out there.
Plus like it was stated. I'd rather lte drop but have lte as apposed to no lte and real slow 3g speeds from Sprint

Go to the Verizon coverage map and check your area and see what kind of reception you get that's the best way to find out of Verizon is worth it.

You should just keep it and pay an ETF. You could easily sell for $500 on eBay to cover a $200 ETF.

I am using AOKP Milestone 6, and after tinkering with a couple things, I have a solid 4G connection. No unexplained drops to 3G in a 4G area for me.
And I agree with what's stated above. There is no way you'll want 3G once you get used to 4G.

stock Rom at the moment works best on this phone I would just stay with that till development matures a bit.

Verizon is a total rip off now. Data is way too expensive.
Good bye HTC Rezound, hello Galaxy S3!

It may be exspensive but for the same plan I have on sprint I can switch. And save 30 bucks a month that's with 4 gigs. Ill never use that Much. With sprint there data is so slow it'ss painfully. That's why its unlimeted. Cause there is nothing to limit lol.

I agree. I use 1 gig in about a week, easily. I definitely wouldn't come to Verizon with their new data plans. You're just asking for a huge bill.

[Q] Second-hand GS2-LTE, non-stock ROM, etc...??!?

I just picked up a relatively new (6 months old) SGH-I727 on Rogers. It was second-hand, in great physical shape, and worked fine with my non-LTE SIM.
Anyhow, I didn't think to check until after I purchased it, but it's completely non-custom. Here are the specs below. Can anyone tell me if this is a good setup? Also, I am not able to connect to the LTE network (in areas with perfect LTE coverage, using my new LTE SIM card). Any ideas?
MODEL: SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
ANDROID VERSION: 4.1.2
BASEBAND VERSION: UNKNOWN
KERNEL VERSION: 3.0.49-cyanogenmod-g5756af1 [email protected] #1 Tue Nov 20 20:55:25 PST 2012
CYANOGENMOD VERSION: 10-20121121-UNOFFICIAL-
PARANOIDANDROID VERSION: 2.99
BUILD DATE: Tue Nov 20 20:40:17 PST 2012
BUILD NUMBER: pa_skyrocket-userdebug 4.1.2 JZO54K eng.gs2usr.20121120.203851 test-keys
LAUNCHER: Trebuchet 0.2 Copyright CyanogenMod 2012
So... I have verified my APN's and they are spot-on for Rogers (according to Rogers reps - 2 of them). Everything else seems to work just fine except LTE.
Should I look at trying another ROM/flash/whatever (even if it won't fix LTE, I want a stable and supported/current phone).
???
Thanks in advance.
Eric

Did you call and have your plan provisioned for lte?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

Yes, the plan has been lte-enabled for a year (corporate plan). According to Rogers, everything is good on their end and mine. They say it might be a faulty sim but thats rare.

I have seen E, 3G, and HSPA+. Rogers rep told me I should see LTE, as LTE is faster than hspa+ / 4g.

If the rom isn't programed to show "lte" it will never say lte. Trust me I'm showing 4G and getting 27megs down and 13 megs up at 5pm peak busy time.

I will have to check tomorrow as the signal at my house is crap on a good day.
Aside from the lte "issue", should I be concerned about any other custom stuff on this phone?
I have "Android terminal emulator" popping up on occasion. Is this a security issue, and/or something required for the custom stuff to run properly?
Cheers,
Eric

The rom you have is a decent one, although it's very recent and may not everything working right. But it should have the phone working right. As others have said, many roms show 4g which is the same as lte.
PS, I've run paranoid android Rom and have liked it a lot so you're in good company

Cool thanks. Are ROM's typically updated automatically or stagnant until the user updates with a new version him/herself?

Custom roms need to be updated manually. You may want to look at the stickies in the development forum and look for vincom he has written many good how-to's. You could learn how to revert your phone back to stock and/or how to install custom roms

If you can trace it to a specific app, you can use Titanium backup to freeze the app or even delete it.

Did you check in:
-Settings
-More:
-Wireless & networks
-Mobile networks
-Network mode
And ensure that it's set to an option that includes lte?
Mine is lte/gsm/wcdma. By default mine was not set to lte, and therefore did not get lte speeds, even though everything else was in place.

Thanks, but unlocking the phone won't give me fast data speeds because At&t works on a different frequency.
I know there are people currently doing what I mentioned in the first post on their Galaxy Note 1 and 2 when switching from Tmobile to At&t and vice versa...

When using an AT&T phone on T-Mobile and vice versa there is no guarantee that you will experience the full potential of their respective services. Basically it's a crap shoot.
