Mine says ATT 3G. I'm using coredroid. I just changed my account to ATT 4G. I hoped it would update.
Well, since my lockscreen just says AT&T, and I'm not running CoreDroid, I'm thinking you are asking a ROM specific question that might be better asked in the thread of that ROM.
Or better yet.....wait for it.......searched for.
I can't help but notice, you sure seem to like starting new threads for every question that crosses your mind, huh?
I've counted like 4 or 5 in the last few days.
Searching before posting is highly encouraged.
I wasn't sure if it was rom specific, so I posted it here. I would have gotten my ass chewed either way I suppose. Yeah...I search and if I don't find the answer, I post a question. I've had a few questions for which I couldn't find an answer. I just got this phone, so I suspect my thread-starting will diminish considerably in the next few days. Guilty as charged though. Rom threads are nine miles long, and if no one answers in the first day or two, especially with a rom as popular as coredroid, your question gets buried forever.
My suspicion is the lock screen text is influenced by the sim card. If you look at the pics of the lock screens of people running coredroid, they are different based upon their respective carriers. I may ask AT&T about a new sim card. Either that or the built in carrier provisioning has a pat description that gets assigned to the lockscreen.

Alright. Didn't mean to jump your ****. I've been a little over-zealous on the community moderating thing, recently.
Getting a new phone is overwhelming, at first. First thing I do is download the phones manual. Second thing I do is immerse myself in stickied threads, and then as questions arise, I start doing the search thing. Then I ask in threads. In that order.
Seems kind of pointless to put a 3g or 4G icon on the lockscreen, unless its indicating the current state of the phone's cell connection.
I don't think it would be SIM related, because everybody on ATT would have the same or similar plan for the inspire... You can't specifiy a 3g or 4G plan preference when you buy an inspire. The SIM cards that are label 3g are just that... Labels. They don't make any difference to the performance of the phone. The ones that say 3g and the newer ones are functionally equivalent on the inside. Just the pretty picture on it changed.
Why has the ''is this necessary'' thread been deleted ? and the other one locked ?
There was more people against this opening of a sub-forum than there was for it.
Please listen to us and remove this tmobile section, It isnt needed, and deleting the threads that wanted this section gone is way out of order.. We didnt break any rules..
This is our section, our phone, We dont need nor want this silly tmobile section.. So please remove it !!
If you think im wrong............Im not, Allow me to open a poll as to whether we should keep it or not ??
c'mon mods be fair ??!!??!!
It got removed because it would just start issues with other members of the forum for people who want it or not same thing with this thread.
This is the wrong section your posting in anyway.
What's so hard about looking in other section and looking in T-Mobile section.
The administrators on the site said they want it as a local moderator just spoke to them about it, Majority want it anyway.
well the poll says different... At least leave this thread for a few days and get some statistics before making a decision.
--
To be fair i agree with azzle here,bit stupid to have some extra thread for tmobile..end of the day this can all be kept in the android dev section. This is daft.
suprised the mod agreed to this anyway,unless he was pm'ed by everyone asking for it,now if thats the case..then fair enough
OK people, i have re-named this thread and moved it to its proper section. I will allow this to continue, unless it turns into a flame war. We all have opinions, i ask you to respect others.
The extra dev section was asked for, and the admin gave it. Its unlikely its going to be removed, so we will have to live with it.
cheers man ! If its what the people want.. Keep it.. I just think its gunna cause so much confusion when development really gets going.. That things would have been better left how they were..
Im all up for the Q&A Section... If there happens to be differences between Tmobile and International version, I will add it to my threads FAQ section...

Whats so hard of not having that section and making double download links (as rom makers will make 2 different versions anyway).
Let the vote stay here for atleast 2 days, then you can see some "results"

The point is, we have so little development as it is, that splitting the forum into two makes it look like we have even less development, and that could deter people away from the phone and thus more development. Both phones can use both roms so there is no point. If there are small issues such as wifi, we can have stickies.

True I'm not going to argue with that cause ur right.
but It's not hard looking in both sections.
If there are incompatible features between t-mo-us and the international One S, keep them both, if not, merge them. Or at least rename it t-mo US, as t-mo has presence in other countries as well.
The second tmous thread is not needed, if the dev of the rom would simply add to there title.
[rom][sense 4.0] [tmous/EU] [NAME OF YOUR ROM][ANYTHING EXTRA AOSP/STOCK] [Updated XX/XX/XXXX]

I'm not saying it is, and I usually ventured to the Verizon side when I had a GSM Galaxy Nexus I just don't want development on this device stunted.

I am going to request another subforum for my own gsm operator. Or maybe even forum for my own mobile :what:
Seriously, this is ridiculous.

Agreed josh. I was told by senior mods that they did it because "it's what users wanted". Well, that's kind of interesting, because we're NOT wanting it, and we're those users. The initial confusion came on launch day, and that was because nobody was familiar with whether the devices differed. Guides simply need to be updated to reflect compatibility. Now, instead, we've got 2 forums, and in an attempt to alleviate the confusion, they have only caused further confusion, because now it REALLY looks like the devices are different when they are in fact NOT.
When a dev gets into modding, one of the obvious questions is "How many different devices do I have to work with here?". Based off our forum layout, it looks like we've got 2 different devices. This could lead developers to believe that there's more work to be done than necessary to achieve compatibility with both.

I am on the fence with this one.
While I agree that if a rom developed for EU works - for the majority - and only does not function on a scale that reaches very select users, then the dual dev section is not needed.
However, in that same logic, if a rom developed that is incompatible with the counterpart phones due to whatever reason, and something happens while it was not labeled as EU/US or TMOUS or whatever tag a dev would use, then that would start a stir in the forum, IMO, deterring users from moving to this phone and potentially hurting development.
While i agree that it should be SOP to label the rom as EU or US, at the very least posting inside the thread if its for EU or US in the download links. Having a split forum this early in the development phase could hurt the growth of the phone's custom roms.
This being my second android phone, I myself am considering taking a shot at developing a custom TMOUS minimalist rom. (running as little as possible and having the bare necessities required to run the phone) Thinking of a battery saver galore build, completely Sense Free.
I came from the Nexus S, and the dev forum was split into 2 forums - 1 for the GSM Nexus S, and 1 for the CDMA Sprint Nexus S 4G.
I was a i9020T GSM model. In the very same forum, mods and devs posted ROMs for i9020T, i9020A (att), and i9023 (SLCD model , mostly overseas). Not once was there ever a problem. I just think it's kind of silly that we're being told "it's what users want", and yet we clearly don't want it, atleast the majority don't. I was told it was to help with new users, but here's the thing....this isnt newbforums.com or something. This is XDA DEVELOPERS. Enthusiasts and the tech crowd come here. I'm not saying new users don't, because we see them every day, but they've got their own issue with getting up-to-speed, and I fail to see how fragmenting the community into 2 dev forums helps alleviate the issue. Newbs will be newbs. They just have to read stuff....
Is it possible that I can agree with everyone? Probably a result of my incessant blind optimism.
Clearly, there is a divide here. Some people want the separate forum, others don't. Both arguments seem to stem from the same desire... to maximize development for their specific phones. I emphasize like crazy with you.
People that don't want the split fear that this will slow development by dividing troops and possibly give the appearance of a lesser interest from the dev community. However, having two sides essentially working on the "same" device may even prove beneficial in the end.
People that do want it are likely "we" Americans who always fear upon a devices release that there will be some minor radio variance that will cause our new, $600 baby to turn paperweight. Having a T-Mo(US) thread gives someone like me, with a lesser experience in the dev world, more confidence to take the leap into modding a device. I'm more likely to set up a dev environment, root my phone, and become more active in the community. The more people willing to get their feet wet should help everyone, regardless of continent, in the end.
Lastly, the apparent lack of interest may instead be a lack of knowledge. What other snapdragon S4 Krait phones have been released? AFAIK, there hasn't been a single device dropped with this chip, so development will be decidedly difficult until HTC makes available their GPL code. They probably aren't terribly eager to give other phone manufacturers the fruits of their labor, and money, by aiding them prep the S4 phones/tablets that will inevitably follow.
I am incredibly eager to sink my teeth into the underbelly of the one S. I can accept that for the time being, customization may likely be limited to sense-based mods, as I for one am certainly unwilling to part with what is one of the most impressive cameras ever released on a phone. But I do incredibly miss my notification pull down power switches.

I respect your opinion. Please email HTCdev and express your displeasure at their daily willful GPL violations. That code lawfully belongs in the hands of the open source community.
edited.
See, what we're trying to get at is that there isn't any "flash this version or that version", because there's only 1 version: the HTC One S. Unless you're flashing radios, and custom ROMs should typically NEVER have custom radios unless clearly indicated, then it doesn't matter.
And the Galaxy S was divided into subforums because the actual hardware cofigurations, button layouts, chips, etc, varied quite a bit from model to model, whether it was the international SGS, the T-Mo Vibrant, The Verizon Continuum (vastly different), or the ATT version.
The One S is a single phone, with 2 slightly different radio versions. Other than that radio, they are absolutely identical.
Greetings,
Just a heads up about this model. Considering this is likely the most popular site for this arena, it is surprising to me that there isn't a specific forum for it. These guys do great work and no disrespect intended, however it is frustrating considering it is the one I, and many others, have.
With that being said, I will share what I have found in my endeavors to get it to where I want it. There may be some useful information in some or all of the other S4 forums, however in order to get what is truly needed, it is usually necessary to go elsewhere. I got some basic understanding of things here, but no true answers to this specific model.
This is the U.S. Cellular version of the Samsung Galaxy S4, SCH-R970. Although some of the tools and procedures found here for other models MAY work, as specific as it is to mod these devices, I personally wouldn't recommend using anything that doesn't particularly pertain to yours. It is very easy to get into a situation where you will need help and it seems there isn't much sympathy toward us when this becomes the case.
The good news is that there are plenty of other places to get what we need. It just takes a bit of research on this specific model. I must admit that I am a bit fuzzy about this stupid "forum etiquette" thing so I will choose not to say anything specific about other ones here, and vise-versa. What I will say though is not to get frustrated if you can't find what you need here. I guess things aren't always easy when we choose to avoid the "big guys" in the cellular carrier business.
What I did find is that if you feel like doing a bit of digging, it is no problem any further than that. I have CM 10.2.0 working just fine on mine, it just took a bit more research and going elsewhere. If doing a web search for "SCH-R970" doesn't get you enough info, try adding "U.S. Cellular" and/or "jflteusc" into your searching and something should turn up.
Happy modding :victory:

Hi guys,
Just wondering if there is a thread anywhere discussing some of these phones from companies that most of us have never heard of. Just a quick look on this Geekbuying.com website I somehow got subscribed to, I see names like Xiaomi, Cubot, Jiayu, Mijue, Zopo, ZTE, and a few more. I know I've found individual threads with a discussion on a single model, but I'm wondering if there is already a thread discussing these phones, the sellers, the quality, the chances of getting them activated somewhere like Verizon here in the US, etc...
I know that the general philosophy is that you get what you pay for, but I'm curious if any of these are worth pursuing instead of putting the millstone of another Verizon 2-year contract around my neck. Also, are there any recommendations of websites to visit, and ones to stay away from?
I apologize if this is on a thread elsewhere, but like I said, I was just finding a few people with specific models, rather than a general discussion on the pros and cons of these devices, manufacturers and sellers in general.
Thanks!
