is it possible to do this?
thanks in advance
Check the MetroPCS website for details. I think its only select phones and in specific cities listed there. Good luck!!!

Hi,
I am on Tmobile USA currently and waiting for it to launch 3G in my city. Reports suggest that it will do so on Oct 1. Do you have any information about what kind of PDA phones with 3G support will it launch?
Alternatively, what kind of PDA phones out there will be able to utilize 3G on Tmobile in USA? I am currently looking at buying Touch Diamond, but don't think that it will be able to use 3G on Tmobile USA.
thanks for your input.

thanks for the link, however that thread is old and doesn't have any information about what PDA phones can be used! thanks anyways
yeah, it's hard to get a straight answer from t-mobile! I just called the store and they said 3G is aproved for my area (Las Vegas)...but they are waiting on the new devices for it? They said one would be the google android, some blackberys, bla bla... They are not going to get many customers with that 3g bandwidth, since all current ppc's will not work.
Hello Canadians,
I am looking to trade my T-Mobile G2 for a Bell Desire Z to use on AT&T's 3g network.
Can anyone point me to Canadian smartphone specific forums that have a buy/sell/trade discussion?
Any other ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Danny.B
there's no much to find in many of our forums but go nuts and try..
www.androidcentral.com -- they havea canadian section
www.mobilesyrup.com -- they have a buy/sell section
www.kijiji.ca -- you may find a phone listed
www.craigslist.org -- of course
www.androidincanada.ca -- speaks for itself
Hi everyone.
I am a newb to Android, and I have a difficult situation at hand.
Here is my long and winding story.
I am currently living in Canada, using Rogers Mobile, and someone is giving me a Galaxy Note from South Korea (SHV-E-160S).
It is unlocked.
Will I be able to use this phone in Canada? I don't have a data plan so using 3G or LTE or anything like that is not a major problem.
Also, if I root it, will I be able to use any useful custom roms? or is that impossible because of the lack of developer support?
Here is the second part of my problem. If I opt to sell the Note, and get a galaxy S3, which model should I be looking into?
I am trying to use the phone in both Canada and in South Korea, and I want it to work on both. However, I know that Rogers is GSM and most of the networks in South Korea are WCDMA. Also, which model has the best developer support for ROMs?
Sorry, I just have so many questions and not enough answers anywhere.. Please help!
The note will work.
The international gs3 will work in Korea
Sent from my U8150 using XDA
Yes you should be able to use it!
And be able to root and customize it as well!
Btw...the galaxy note is a stable phone...but if you are still opting to sell it...then the galaxy s3 international version will do!
It should work in South Korea and Canada as well!
Dont know as to which model has the best developer support yet...Sorry!
I tried looking around earlier but I couldn't really find a definite answer. With Metro's bring your own device plan
it says the galaxy nexus is compatible to be flashed to metro, is this correct?
Are all galaxy nexus's unlocked or do I have to buy a specific model, like the verizon or sprint model?
It doesn't really specify on their website.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hey guys just recieved my Note Edge. Its the Japanese Docomo version. I totally misread the LTE band listing thinking it would work with T-Mobile LTE but it does not. But all is not lost i feel. I did some research and there is a way to unlock LTE bands on Qualcomm devices(as the chip does support all LTE bands world wide) It is a amazing looking device BTW and i Am very happy( I can use my Note 4 until I figure out how to unlock LTE on the EDGE for TMO) So i guess i have a few questions now.
1. Would rooting be theoretically the same as a note 4?
2. Would changing the modem once rooted allow for additional LTE bands to be used ?
3. would rooting using the Note 4 method change the note edge status ?
Just some things i was pondering, if anyone has suggestions I can test with the edge and let you know the outcome in the development forum
:good:
Congrats im so jealous. Ebay?
Congratulations on your purchase!! Mine should be arriving by Friday, I can hardly wait.
I hope you get it unlocked soon.
Could you please test one thing for me?
I wanted to know if you have the ticker panel on the edge screen? If so, can you get Yahoo sports information on it?
Regards.
Just chatted with AT&T. No new info on date.
Sorry! Wrong thread. Mods please delete or move.
Glad you got one. I am still waiting for tmobile to open preorders.
As far as the unlocking and rooting goes your probably have to wait. Not a lot of people have them yet. The note 4 method might be the same tho since most parts are the same.

I was thinking the same, im thinking of trying out that root method just to see if it works. but i hope i dont jack it up in the process. Also the ticker does not have the Yahoo one at this point. im guessing because its the Docomo version.

Good luck with trying the root, I really hope it works. I know I will have to root my phone in order to remove all the Korean bloatware that will come with it.
Is it possible to change the settings on the ticker? I think the Korean version will also have something locally based other than yahoo. I hope it will be possible to change to something else?

yes you can change the ticker within the edge screen settings! and it lets you go to the samsung store to find new edge screens :good:
That's great news! I can sleep peacefully tonight.
Is your Docomo Edge SIM unlocked?
Just wondering if you had to do anything special to use a foreign SIM card in your Docomo Edge.
I'm trying to find a way to do it without going through Docomo or going to Japan.
Thanks for any advice you can give.
