Hey guys/gals,
I'm relatively new to advanced cell phone workarounds/programming/software-know-how, but Im not one of those punks who knows NOTHING about technology and phones. Ill cut right to the chase, and the answer so far has been not gonna happen, but is there any way to get a Lenovo S8 to work on AT&T's 3g network? It has a 900/1800/1900 GSM band and the weird china-only 1890/2010 W-CDMA radio in it, but I've been under the impression that AT&T runs 3g on the 1900 band. Is there any way to tweak a setting or do anything to get it to work? (That question was asked knowing the answer is 99.9% absolutely not, so please dont blow up at me, just asking again for good measure.) Or alternatively, I have a Samsung Focus and a Nokia Lumia 900 that work perfectly fine at my disposal, is there any way for me to make a franken Lenovo and take the radio out of the Samsung or Nokia and put it in the S8 to make it a usable phone in the United States? I bought the phone as a gift for my girlfriend, she HAD to have a gold phone and the iPhone 5s was outta my price range full retail, plus the S8 is as gold as it gets. She loved it until she realized it was on EDGE speeds at maximum, basically rendering the phone un-usable, so she switched back to her busted up silver iPhone 5. Right now I have a $200 paperweight, and 2 phones with radios in them that I know work on AT&T's network. I dont mind if the Lenovo ends up bricked, its a waste of money anyway if I cant get it to work. Give me any ideas you have everyone, thanks so much!!!

RE:
Any ideas guys???
one last bump, thought at the least someone would reply calling me an idiot for thinking it was even possible, please guys any ideas?
Has anyone purchased the 3G Classic Edition? I'm thinking of selling my existing Classic and purchasing the 3G as I miss the speaker function. I didn't even know there was a 3G version coming out in the Classic model?

It seems they do exist but have only been released to the South Korean market. Not sure what that might mean for compatibility with sims from other regions around the world though...

G D it!!! Why?!?!?!?
Anyone have any idea why they did this? Fer gawds sake, I bought a 3G, because that functionality was important. I would have definitely paid MORE to get a classic 3G version.
WTF is wrong with the marketing people in these companies? Don't they want to make money? Since they're already making it, it's not like the cost to sell it here too is prohibitive.

Samsung did this for the same reason companies do anything: profit. My guess is they figured they wouldn't sell enough in other markets to make enough money. They maybe wanted to focus marketing efforts rather than flood the market with devices like they have done before. Who knows exactly. What I do know is that Samsung would have released this to a wider market if they thought it would increase their net revenue.

Could you share picture or do a video ? to see the size of the watch ?
can you show us the speaker on the side ? ^^ you confirm it have built in speaker ? ^^
Thanks ^^
yes it has speaker and a lot more menus, a little thicker than the standard s2 classic, look on ebay for pics, go onto the sk Samsung web site for specs, bargain for an extra £40 ish pound from the uk non 3g one. felt robbed not having speaker etc!
my wife had got me the non 3g for Christmas from currys, straight back for a refund....

Sorry but i failed to find REAL picture and REAL size of this model, i think real size is 44x47x13,4 but i can't know if it is true, and about the weight ??? some say 67g and other 55 ect, if somebody could shows us picture of the SM R735S versus S2 classic, it could be very usefull,
on ebay some spec say the SM R735 have the same size of the S2 classic !!!! lol if it is true i take it now ^^
i hope somebody will post picture ... Thanks.
I'm currently in South Korea and I think I've seen enough to answer the why question. New tech is really popular here even among older people; they probably sell more smart watches here than in the US so the cost of offering more models in that market just isn't appealing.
here, hope this helps, the manual for my 3g classic, as I said, I had the non 3g and now has the 3g, not much difference in size or anything. http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...itiHwZXx6jlRi6CdVAd7QA&bvm=bv.111396085,d.ZWU

yes it is a 3G model, or anyway what it is, i don't have the same S2 classic than this guys ... there is some difference (dead zone and strap insertion is different) so if he don't have a 3G classic it means there is another model ? lol

I wonder how different/same the "guts" are from the 3G swatchlikeversion? Is it possible (please!) they are the same, and could just be swapped into a classic 3G case, simply having to hook up the digitizer and bezel (and probably display too)?
This could be a way to get a completely "compliant", functioning, US carrier 3G classic. Likely expensive, but hell, I've wasted so much on smartwatches already that dropping another US$100-150 to make this damn thing the way I want it is thinkable.
EDIT: Check out this this picture:
It certainly looks entirely possible the design may accomodate swapping parts. Heck, it may take nothing more than swapping the logic board between the two watches.
Then, the regular 3G version becomes a Korean unit; sell it on ebay.
Tempted to order one just to try this out here in the US, and if it doesn't work, and the 3G classic can't get on to Verizon (I would think it could, technically, but will Verizon allow it?), then I can just resell it on ebay and eat some loss.
This is probably net-net the most economical approach, rather than trying to but replacement parts.

Let me know I have plans to but the digitizer and led and swapping them.... Lose my warranty but gain the watch I want,... 3g Platinum Classic gear s2
So it's now official, after five phone calls and finally speaking with third tier T-Mobile tech support, I was told that my area was recently refarmed and I can no longer get 3G service with the 1900 band effectively making my X2 a brick capable of nothing more than Edge. Furthermore, he indicated to me that this is the way things will go into the future and eventually, T-Mobile will support nothing but 4G LTE service (bring your own device.... But not really.)
So where to go from here? I had heard on another forum that AT&T is still supporting 3G over band 1900; but I don't know if they allow you to bring your own phone to the party and I also don't know how long it will be until they themselves eliminate 3G service. Apart from that, I guess my quest is to still find the largest phone I can that will support 4G LTE data in the United States while continuing to hope and pray that Huawei gives us the present of a 7 inch premium phablet with US bands.
As always, I remain open to any other solutions anyone might have or any information that I'm unaware of. Today is a truly sad day for a guy who truly loved his mediapad X2 : (

Sorry to hear that about TMO. I have been pushing to move away from ATT because the prices don't compare. We moved to the "new" ATT unlimited plan and 5 phones run us $330/mo vs the previous $410/mo on their "discount" family plan. I too am sold on the X2 and I can't let it go. I don't see anything else like it out there. I considered Huawei's new 8-inch tablet but without a handset it would be tough to use on a daily basis. ATT still supports the 3G speeds, at least in the Kansas City area, but who knows if that will change. Several times they have changed something on their network and I have had to search and find new APN settings. There are a few alternatives that I've seen but none that can compete with the X2. If you see anything else, let me know.
Thanks!
Jim
Yep, they did the same in my area about 4 months ago.
The whole thing is terribly frustrating. Clearly there is a market (albeit small) for a seven inch phone, so why are we ignored? Blu made one with US 4G LTE bands but i hear it sucks and only has 1 gig of ram causing it to freeze every time you open an app. Posh made a nice 6.4 that I had for a while; but it was a refurb and call quality was terrible. Plus, they are very hard to find. Checked out the Lenovo Phab 2 line (6.4"), but I'm not impressed at all and the new Samsung Note looks like a dildo.
I just ordered an old (new stock) Galaxy Mega which I owned a few years ago and loved. ...but compared to the X2, it's a dwarf (guess I've been spoiled.) So at this point, I really have no other option but to try ATT (who I detest) for a month pre-paid to see if i can go back to getting consistent HSPA on my beloved X2.
I sure hope someone at some point wakes up and gives us what we need...but I ain't holding my breath.
I'm eagerly anticipating the Huawei Honor Note 9 because I feel it's the only device that will be comparable to our beloved X2. I check for new info everyday but so far nothing but some uncertain leaks from Chinese websites. Does anyone have any *new* info? Better yet a way for us loyalists to get much deserved discount would be nice.

Looks like the same deal as the X2 unless they release a US version:
https://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_honor_note_9-8799.php
According to this page (careful !!):
https://www.gsmarc.com/huawei/honor-note-9/
the LTE bands are LTE 2100, LTE 800, LTE 1800, LTE 2600, LTE 900, LTE 2300, LTE 2500, (VoLTE)
not so bad (for my country, only 700Mhz is missed)
But I'm a bit worried about the price of the phone
Just ordered this through Amazon. Looks promising and US bands too!!!!!

Let me know how you like it. It doesn't have band 12 on T-Mobile which sucks. I may have picked one of those up if it did. If you buy it directly through iRulu and use coupon code G3DEAL50 you'll get it for $149.99.

If those root options don't work then the phone most likely will never be rooted. I bought a ZTE Zmax Pro about 8 months back to use as a spare phone and that was never rooted so i'm sure the iRulu probably won't be.

Thanks for posting this! It actually looks really good especially for the price, except for the fact that the battery is 4300mAh and I suspect Li-on not Li-Po. The price point is 10/10 and is simply amazing.
I wonder if a discount will be available on the upcoming Huawei Honor Note 9 as well... It is supposed to be released Dec 6 or 20

Never rooted a phone before...and not really sure why you would want to (probably best I don't know : )
The comment about the GPS scares me...and could potentially be deal breaker for me. But the rest of it seems livable. Not sure what led notification is either, but I figure if I don't know what it is, it probably won't matter to me that I don't have it. Otherwise, I went with Amazon because of their no hassle return. For me, that's worth every bit of 50 bucks on something I'm unsure of.
So after one day with the iRulu, my impressions are thus,
For me, this is in no way a replacement for my Media Pad X2. The build quality is just not there.
First, the good: this is the largest screen phone that I could find with the bands to receive 4G LTE in the United States. There are other larger ones such as the Posh L 700 and the 7 inch model made by Blu, but I don't think either of these phones can be taken seriously with their pitiful 1 GB of RAM.
Second, the phone works reasonably well. I was able to watch YouTube videos without difficulty and surf the web just fine. It was easy to load on applications and most things work as they should. Bluetooth was fine, easily connecting with both my car stereo and my laptop computer. In short, this is a decent low to middle tier phone; but it is NOT a Huawei.
The bad: As I was loading on applications, the phone did randomly restart; but this was only on one occasion, so I don't really consider it to be a big deal at this point.
Second: The GPS is as horrible as reported. I put it on for goofs navigating to work; and several times while driving down 95, the GPS had me somewhere in the middle of the woods. I don't think it would have caused me to miss turns; especially if I was using Google maps audio turn by turn directions; but generally speaking, it does not work as it is supposed to.
Third: at least for me, the phone seemed small. That half an inch screen size between this and the media pad really made a large difference to me. I guess I'm just used to my Huawei, and I like what I like. I also didn't find the phone aesthetically pleasing, which is not really a big deal to me; but it lacks the perfection in design of the MPX2.
Fourth and the biggie: is that I purchased this phone because it had 4G LTE bands in the United States. I used the thing all day long driving around the state of New Jersey; and not once did the phone indicate that I was receiving 4G LTE signal. As a matter of fact, I believe that I get a better signal on the AT&T network with the HSPA bands in the Huawei.
Unfortunately, for me, it's a bust. I will be returning this on Amazon and continue my quest for a mega screen phone that has LTE bands in the United States. One might ask why I am so hung up about LTE bands if I seem to be getting good Signal with the Huawei. It is because I have been told by people at AT&T that my days of enjoying my media pad are numbered; because they will soon be moving to a system similar to T-Mobile that will render the media pad useless. This so-called 5G technology will essentially render most manufacturer unlocked phones useless for some time until the technology catches up. Hopefully, it will take longer to accomplish this so-called feat of progress than it will take for some manufacturer to realize that there is a market for a high-end super screen phone in the United States.
Oh well.....
> I don't know if they allow you to bring your own phone
Yes, I use AT&T prepaid and brought my own phone. Also I'm paying $55/month with 10GB data. The service is of course throttled to what I believe is 15MBPs or something, but it's better service from the other resellers like Straight Talk that use the same towers.
The resellers appear to get low-tier service (I used to be on ST and have tried some others, with some terrible issues).
Hi
Looking for a bit of help as I/we know nothing about phones.
Currently my husband is coming to the end of 2 year contract with ee and Cat S41 phone. no end of problems with the phone I think he is on the 4th one and bad/ non existant reception (he gets no signal at home) I have Samsung S8 on ee and dont have a problem with signal at all.
He has been loooking a Doogee S90/S95 an Ulefone Armour 7 but we have been told to find out what frequency they run at so as we can try and get a tough phone that actually works where we live. Or is there another tough phone that is likely to recieve better signal.
I have tried gooloing about the frequentcie but just dont undertand what Im looking at or what i shuold be looking at

When it comes to the type of phone he is looking for, there aren't very many options. There isn't a high demand for a product like that. You're pretty much left with taking what you can get.
All I can say is good luck.

Hi, I had a Gear S3 Classic from the UK which broke whilst charging, I bought a replacement mainboard and installed it successfully (phew!) but after turning it on it's a South Korean model (SM-R775S).
It's all in English now but it has different apps that are installed and I'd like it how my original watch was, is there a way to do this via the options or a firmware change?
Thanks.
Only to be sure...
Your dead Board is SM-R770 BT only...
And now you have ""Jackpot"" with Korean LTE?
Is this correct?
Because Korean LTE is not first choice to change something...
With SM-R775S you have little bit "luck"...
Firmware is available...

Hi, yes it was a SM-770 that I bought in the UK, it fried when I used a different wireless charger on it
The replacement I received from eBay is a SM-R775S, I don't know if it's LTE or not, so by jackpot do you mean I have been lucky by getting this mainboard?
I've actually got used to it now, I've managed to delete a couple of the apps that are in Korean and it's all working pretty much how the old one was, I'm a bit OCD when it comes to things like that but so far I'm ok
Thanks for the reply.
