I have the tmobile samsung galaxy 4g. Unfortunately it doesn´t come with the 850 Mhz band enabled for 3g data. I read in galaxy s post that it is possible to flash the modem to another one who has this band included. Is it possible in the galaxy s 4g?
Thanks.

if that is in fact possible, which I've heard otherwise, that'd be splendid.

Modem 850 Mhz
Really exist any fhash for activate 850 Mhz for samsung Galaxy S 4G?????????.
Where are there link for download???????!!!!!!!!
Are you positive it cannot connect to 3g? Unless the phone is lying to me I've seen it connected to UTMS networks under phone status and even show 3g for the data connection in the status bar.
Yep, shows umts but downloads @4G speeds.

850MHz UMTS on Vibrant 4G
I have both the Vibrant 4G and the older Vibrant from T-Mobile.
Using the instructions found here: androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s/258859-how-enable-850mhz-3g-network-frequency-your-samsung-i9000-galaxy-s.html[/url]
I see that I can enable 850MHz on the older Vibrant but I don't see the 850MHz option on the Vibrant 4G. I have not yet tested the Vibrant to see if I get better AT&T data coverage (ie: 850MHz when 1900MHz is not available.)

I believe this is true for the Galaxy S i9000 which has support for 3G network over the 850mz band. Our phone, the Galaxy S 4g does not.
It is possible to flash a modem for 3G @ 850mz band for i9000, but not for the sgs4g.
The main reason being that the i9000 is an international phone so it has to support a lot of carriers and different bands/networks around the globe. But the SGS4G was made for T-Mobile's network, so the bands that it supports are limited to that carrier.

Sorry for revive this post , just to clarify... If enable the UTMS1900Mhz band I'll be able to usa 4G with a company that provide it via HSPA+ on this band?
thanks in advance
anyone here???
Ok well i know that it is possible to get T-Mo's "4g" HSPA+ on this device. However, i have not found a clear answer as to when t mobiles 46 lte launches, will an unlocked at&t i727 be able to work on this t-mobile 4g lte. I am stuck between whether i should buy the t989 or an unlocked i727 and use either one on t mobile and this may affect my decison.
Thanks.
I never heard before about "T Mobile LTE !!!" ... T mobile is using HSPA 42 in its best markets ... If you're in a good coverage area from T mobile or you only want to use it , I would say just buy the T mobile S2 and be done with it ... At&t SR even if unlocked and T mobile radio installed in it would not have the full speed for T mobile or aka 4G (may get 3 or 4 mbps DL max) ........
This thread is relevant to my interests. T-mobile LTE will be Band 4, so does that mean the i727 won't work? Or does it have that band and they just aren't advertised? ATT does have some Band 4 holdings, so it's reasonable that they would want the i727 to work on LTE in those areas too.
If you get into Service Mode (*#2263#) and look at LTE bands, it's shown there. Don't know if it means that the phone is able to work with it, but might be.

I know these arent lte speeds but after I switched from my junk Mytouch Q to this and flashed Tmobile radios, for my area this isnt bad

FYI - This only works on Touchwiz ROMs.
if and when tmobile launches lte a t989 won't be able to use it anyway, no lte radio, the fastest that phone will ever achieve is h+ (fake 4g) speeds.
an unlocked skyrocket will allow lte usage, on bands 700 and 1700, so with the correct radio (i757m modem from bell) u SHOULD be able to access it
(edited to reflect correct info)

It doesn't matter in this thread, since it's for reference only. If he won't be able to try it himself because he's not using TouchWiz - no biggie. But thanks for reminding me.

an unlocked skyrocket MAY allow lte usage, depending on the lte band they use. It'll probably be 1700 AWS though, which is an lte band I don't believe the skyrocket supports, only 700.
So basically, neither. But if ur a gambling man, at least with the skyrocket u stand a chance

I thought the reason AT&T included the 1700 AWS band was b/c they were planning on turning that spectrum into LTE if the acquisition was successful. If so, wouldn't that mean that the 1700 band on the Skyrocket would support LTE Band 4?

according to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AWS_devices and this http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=3364 skyrocket supports 1700

was under the impression 1700 for skyrocket was only for hspa, read it somewhere, I stand corrected
Just saw this very recently:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119406
If I'm not mistaken, the Note has the exact same radio setup as the Skyrocket (AWS and 700Mhz LTE). So, it's looking promising for our phones to work on LTE, too.
Just wanted to bump this to see if anyone got the unlocked i727 to successfully lock onto the T-mobile LTE network. I believe I read somewhere that someone had done it successfully but wanted to confirm since T-mobile has refarmed most areas by this time.

Not true. I did it ... get 12 mpbs DL regularly on 4G. You'll need to try different radios but it's very possible.

Yes..I'm sorry...I didn't know that at the time I replied..They have LTE and ironically we skyrocket owners can access it and the T-Mobile s2 owners are left being lol...
I checked the spec. of Nexus S is only supported 3G band 900, 1700, 2100MHz.
Can Nexus S support 3G network (HSDPA) 850 and 1900MHz?

There are actually multiple versions of the Nexus S with different bands
See this link for a table of the different models and their bands.
If you want the simple version, though, the only Nexus S variant with 850/1900 support is the GT-i9020A

Absolutely aware of this. This superb search, powered by Google, gives you that answer in the first link. Information on both the T-Mo and AT&T variant.
<DELETED>
So if I have at&t service and I get the i9020a I should get 3g service?
Sent from my Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet using xda app-developers app
No should. You will.
So I can take my att sim card out of my current smart phone with data plan put it in the unlocked i9020a and be good to go? or will I have to set any thing else up? Thanks for your help just want to make sure before I buy.
Sent from my Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet using xda app-developers app
If its the 9020a ( same for the 9020t just no 3g) as you mentioned then yes. Just put the sim in. It is a full sized sim so keep that in mind.
The LTE frequencies used by AT&T (850/1800MHz) are the same as the LTE frequencies used on these phones (also 850/1800MHz). Considering these are unlocked phones, could I use them with AT&T's LTE network in the USA? I'd love to get some of that Snapdragon 800 power in the S4 but not if I couldn't use LTE.
Thanks!

Anyone? I'm waiting on a yes or no to purchase one so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi Folks,
Just a quick questions, will T-Mobile Note edge work on Rogers LTE or AWS in Toronto? I am a bit confused with frequencies.
Thanks in advance.

Tmobile Note Edge supports Band 4 (AWS) LTE. It will work, just make sure your sim card is LTE capable.
