Well im about to root the phone using this tutorial-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
And my phone is unlocked already will i have to unlock it again after the root? Also if i root the phone will i be able to get 3g or 4G speeds on the Tmobile will the frequencies be right? Because i heard if the phone is just unlocked the frequencies are different.
Please reply ASAP!
Thanks
All you will get on tmo is edge. Also you can't have root without being s off.

T-Mobile have different UMTS frequencies (UMTS 900, UMTS 1700, UMTS 2100 instead of AT&T's UMTS 850, UMTS 1900), therefore only edge will work.

It WILL NOT WORK. The device will NOT operate on anything but EDGE on a non att network.

Even 256 Kbps is enough for the mobile Internet (IM, mail, news...) in my case, but, I agree that 3G was better.

Hi,
I recently unlocked this phone and have been using it on Tmobile. My data is EDGE only and its frustrating. Yesterday, however, I left Brooklyn, where I live, for Great Adventures in New Jersey. As we were approaching the theme park my signal changed from EDGE to H+ and stayed that way for 10 hours. It returned to EDGE when we left the park. So, its possible to get more than EDGE if there's a concentration of mobile towers, which is what I am assuming happened.

No. What matters is frequency used by T-Mobile. Currently they are in the process of refarming their 1900mhz to 3g. Their is no way of knowing where they are testing and or activating the 1900 band. The only known place was in the bay area during the last apple event. You must have a found a spot. Its one of those you have to wait for tmo to reach your area

edge is really slow. it slower then 3g. why do you use an AT&T phone on t-mobile. is it the prepaid plan. if so their are a few prepaid that run on att network. If you went att prepaid you would get 3g minium if not more. i'm using a company called red pocket mobile. its not bad but it 55.00 a month i get unlimited talk text and 1gb of data. might wanna look into it. hope it helps.
i hope i didn't overlook this topic when i searched it but if i unlock my one s for use in the philippines, will i be able to use the 4g networks there?

Depends what band is 4G over there, see if the One S supports that frequency.

the only matches are gsm 1800 on the 2g network
i didn't know about that with the 4g. any reasons why it isn't prepared for 4g use?
Hi everyone, I know there is a thread already open to unlock the radio for the sch-I535:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895684&page=30
So far nobody was able to enable the 1900 or 1700mhz
Here in Brazil Claro network uses 2100 Mhz and I would like to know if anyone was able to enable this frequency into the sch-I535
Thank

I am using Claro as we speak right now. I receive HSPA+, 3g, and EDGE. How can I verify if one is 2100mHZ?
The 2100mHZ Band is unlocked out of the Box as far as i know!!

Israel! Did you get something? Worked on Claro 2100mhz? I'll get the i535 too.

Well, I´m with Galaxy S5 now.
I learned the lesson to only buy models with ALL frequency supported.
At the time when I was with the S3, I had a work around. There is a software called phoneinfo (really hard to find it cause they don´t have it on playstore anymore) that manually you could put it to 2100mhz, it was a pain in the ass had to change it all the time depend where you at, cause not all antenas of CLARO uses the same frequency.

Simple question: can the Global version get 3G on T-Mobile? Or is the US version only able to? I want to make sure to buy the right one.
Depends on where your location is. With the refarning of 1900 MHz by T-Mobile in its early stages and with both models supporting that anyway, unless you're traveling to somewhere that needs the international bands play it safe and get the US version which supports T-Mobile's AWS band.

Definitely, it has both 1700MHz and 2100MHz configured for T-Mobile's two-band system. (One is used for uploading and one for downloading, so just 2100MHz is not enough.) If T-Mobile 3g is available in your area, the US version will work on it, with the appropriate SIM card of course.

Awesome, thanks! And if you don't mind me asking, I see you have a Moto G. How is the battery life for you? I'm thinking about getting this for my dad and he needs a phone that will last a while.
The battery life is excellent. Easily 24 hours.

Is there a way to force the phone to use 850mhz band frequency?
Thanks!

What do you mean "force"? Is your network broadcasting on 2 frequencies and one is better than the other?
You could threaten it with being replaced by an iPhone?

My carrier frequencies are 1800mhz for GSM, and 850+2100mhz for UMTS.
I have heard that 850mhz, is better for building where the reception is weak becuase it passes better through walls.
Is there a way to control or at least check which frequency is my phone currently using?
Thanks!
I think it already does the switching on its own. Might not work perfectly, but at least it doesn't get into situations where it's left out because all the places on the 850 MHz frequency are taken.

This. You won't be doing yourself any favors by avoiding 2100Mhz which may be the best connection at one point in time, despite the inherit benefits of shorter wave frequencies.
