So i got a verizon s3 from a friend since he updated to the s4 but im on tmobile and i was wondering if and how i could use it on the tmobile network. i have read that it is possible but i just dont know how to do it. any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
oh and ive already rooted my phone
thanks in advance!!
Search the development section for a thread titled "Set up Verizon Galaxy S3 as World GSM Phone" or another thread titled "Fully Working Verizon S3 n T-Mobile." You should only receive Edge data once it's fully working so you'll want a T-Mobile device if you want higher data speeds.

Hi guys.I have simple mobile sim card (which works with T-mobile towers) and I get galaxy sii gt-i9100 (universal version). the problem is I'm getting 2g (edge) speed only, I read that you can flash your radio firmware after rooting to get HSMA+ mode then you'll have the 3g\4g internet.I already rooted my device but I don't know what to do now!
please anyone can help?
I need some help about that too, I wish this post had more attention, and replies. So I'm kinda moving it up right now.
Btw it might be impossible for us to get 4g, but I'll be happier when I get 3g instead of 2g. so, I'm looking for a solution too, I'll keep you posted if I find anything helpful.

Unfortunately there is no solution for that. I already sold out my phone and got new Galaxy s3 (T-MOBILE VERSION) from ebay for 519$ and I'm enjoying the 4G bless..if you need any further assistance I'll be more than glad to help.
Hello, I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy SII SGH-I727R from Rogers and unlocked it. I am now with Koodo Mobile and everything is working great except I cannot get LTE working, I only get 4G connection. I have check all APN settings and everything is correct, only thing I can think of is the LTE was locked to Rogers Firmware and it will not enable with the new carrier. If anyone has any tips or ways around this to get it working with my new carrier I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Sorry if it's kind of a noob question but I'm new to XDA and I was wondering if I had a Verizon Galaxy s3 and I used a rom like Synergy with multi carrier would it support ATT LTE or anyone's LTE other than Verizon?! Please help! !
No, it would not work. I wouldn't expect that it ever will.

By multi carrier support the devs meant that the ROM works for several carriers as long as you flash the right one. It will be foolish move to flash the Verizon version of the ROM when have T mobile.
Thanks
Lol Thanks for clearing that up. I know that they use different networks cdma and HSPA I was just curious because they both used LTE 100 and the Verizon s3 uses the exact same micro sim as ATT for Lte. Much appreciated though I get the concept of multi carrier support now.
Guys, I rooted my phone and changed it form Verizon to Tmobile.
I was wondering, with my old T-Mobile phone, I could make wifi calling. However, I noticed that that functionality is absent in my new Custom ROM (SynergyROM VZW S3 | JB 4.1.2)
Could anyone help me with allowing for wifi calling? I am completely new to this stuff, and so I have no clue where to begin.
I looked in Settings> More...> and there was not "Wifi Calling" settings available.
Please help.

A couple more questions so other can be clear:
Was the phone itself originally Vzw and you rooted it to Tmobile? Or did you just install a TMobile ROM?
Also, this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930928 talks about only some ROMs having TMobile wifi calling available. That thread is NOT for the S3, so I'd start with a search for that on the S3 forum.
You'll have to find a ROM that supports it.

I am not quite sure why your saying this is not the S3 forum, is says " Verizon Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting"
is there a phone called S3 and not Galaxy S3? If so I, what I meant is the Galaxy S3.
To answer your question; yes this was originally a Vzw phone, that I rooted to a Tmobile. I was thinking of installing a Tmobile Rom on here, but I heard that will break my phone, is that correct?
Thanks.
The thread that I linked to in my previous post that talks about WIFI calling is NOT the S3 forum. I think it's for a Droid, I cannot remember.
I do believe that you are correct about it breaking your phone. If you are able to re-title this post, do so with the title "VZW Rom that supports WIFI calling". That might et you the info for which you are looking.

There should be the option inside of cellular networks inside settings. Personally I haven't even on TMobile since before the smartphone days but you "should" be able to change it. Don't hold me to that however
