Do you live in a HSPA+ area for AT&T?
I'm wondering if the phone works with AT&T's HSPA+
Why would anyone want AT&T ? They suck.....

I am curios though, if the phone supports the frequencies, shouldn't it get HSPA+ speeds?

My ATT phone supports 4G frequencies and I have ATT at the moment but I am lucky to get 1MBps because ATTs network sucks in most large sities. The fact HE didn't get those speeds doesn't mean someone else won't. Speed testing is a VERY inexact science. Someone here on XDA posted ~6MBps speeds with the T989 on AT&T.
that's probably why they went with LTE on the skyrocket model instead of HSPA+
I didn't reach more than 1.3 mbps regardless where I was at...same speeds that I reached with my iPhone..at the same spots I was reaching 5mbps
I don't think higher speeds than 3g can be achieved, however it beats having edge like it usually happens when we use one of their phones

I read that even when t-mobile jumps on the lte band wagon in 2013, that our gs3 phones will not be able to take advantage of the new speeds (what a drag). I'm not sure if this is really the case, but I posted the link to the article below.
http://www.galaxys3newsblog.com/t-mobiles-samsung-galaxy-s3-to-miss-lte-yet-another-dissappointment/
One thing you have to remember you always want to buy a phone that works right now for you not a phone that would work better in the future, I'm happy with hspa+ and by the time I get lte from tmobile I might have another phone anyways so I think I'm cool with that, it bee discuss in another topic too
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
This is true. I just thought that I would post this for those who didn't have the benefit of reading the other post. For those that don't change their phones often and intend on keeping the gs3 for some time, I thought that this was good information to help them make a well informed purchase. I hope this helped anyone that didn't know and wants to buy a gs3.
My HSPA+ speeds are consistanly faster than my friends Verizon LTE. Plus HSPA+ uses dramatically less battery. Heres my speeds in Detroit.

Same here in San Diego. Verizon was fast out of the gate but they heavily over-subscribed their network and now they are lame. AT&T is the crazy fast at the moment but I expect them to be in the same boat as Verizon this time next year.

Practicly yes on stock 4g shows when you connected to umts(3g), hspa and hspa+(t mobile calls this 4g cause it could go up to 42mbps) but if you changed yours to stock look ( aosp) you will see your phone going at all of them and won't stay connected to one at all times, you might no notice because their 3g is not crazy slow where you live, I have good coverage specially where I live and work so I don't mind it

It does have LTE, just like the T-989 did, its just disabled by default. You can access this setting by opening the dialer and typing *#*#4636#*#*, and selecting radio type.

greetings fellas !
i am confused between the t-mobile hercules & at&t skyrocket !
i would like to know which one would be preferable among the two !
i will be using the phone in india so the phone will be gsm unlocked !
what i would consider :
1) custom roms
2) build quality, audio quality, camera quality
also pls mention the differences between both phones !
thanks for all your help !
Don't be confused. Besides a bit of cosmetic difference they are the same phone.

Yes this is true.
Qualcomm's MDM8220 modem doesn't support LTE.
"Qualcomm’s MDM8220 dual-carrier HSPA+ solution, based on the 3GPP Release 8 standard, provides peak downlink data rates of up to 42 megabits per second (Mbps) and 11 Mbps on the uplink, allowing carriers to easily upgrade their existing infrastructure equipment to achieve significantly higher bandwidths. Its dual-carrier technology doubles networks’ bandwidth from 5 MHz to 10 MHz by aggregating two HSPA carriers in parallel.
The MDM9200 and the MDM9600 chipsets are the industry’s first multi-mode 3G/LTE solutions that allow UMTS and CDMA2000® operators to upgrade seamlessly to future LTE services while preserving backward compatibility to their existing 3G networks. MDM9200 supports UMTS, HSPA+ and LTE, while the MDM9600 supports CDMA2000® 1X, EV-DO Rev. B, SV-DO, SV-LTE, UMTS, HSPA+ and LTE. All of the new chipsets support FDD LTE and TDD LTE modes and different carrier bandwidths, and are capable of using orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) and multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology to support peak data rates of up to 100 Mbps on the downlink and 50 Mbps on the uplink."
Wow...I'll be honest with you that was quite a mouthful lol you kind of lost me so I read it twice and I understand, but pretty much the Herc has the MDM8220? So thats a no on the LTE if when T Mo gets LTE like they plan on, we wont be getting true LTE. Correct me if Im wrong lol, Im just a noob trying to learn.

You're correct, herc dies not have lte, SR does, but i believe SR lte will only work on their bands so even when TMobile gets lte 3 years from now, it won't work, maybe.

I was thinking of getting another phone soon to replace my crappy Sensation and from my brief research, the GS3 may or may not have it in the hardware to support T-Mobile's upcoming LTE network. With the One X+ cancelled, am I only left with the GNote 2? I'm really not trying to carry that big of a phone around . Will there be any announcements by T-Mobile in the upcoming months to release phones for the holiday season? I'm keeping my fingers crossed . Thanks in advance for any insight or details.
The T-Mobile S3 will NOT connect to their future LTE network. The Note 2 probably won't either. Their LTE network is even close to ready to begin rolling out.

The note 2 is the closest one to get lte it pass by fcc by 1900aws and 700(Verizon band), they were rumors of tmobile making arrangements with Verizon so we probably get it then (if you have a supported device) having said that I don't worry I get up to 24 mbps on tmobile and love it, I use 20GB last month with unlimited so ain't going anywhere for a while

I couldn't agree more. I've seen very impressive speeds from 4G on SGS3... While I'm sure getting 30-60 mbps down (seems average on other LTE networks) is really cool, its more of a signature spec - or bragging spec... 10mbps+ on 4G is plenty fast for me, especially considering I've been using an iPhone on T-mobile for years stuck on 2G EDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4G is like LUDACRIS SPEED for me (anyone? spaceballs? anyone???)

On Verizon's LTE, I pulled on average 15-25mbps. It peaked out at about 30. On T-Mobile's Faux-G, I pull on average 10-20 mbps. I peak out at about 25.
LTE is not noticeably better in any way other than speed tests. Latency had been about 100ms for both as well. Primary difference had been LTE outages on Verizon seemed to last 12-72 hours whereas HSPA+ outages on T-Mobile seem to last 30-600 seconds.

I have an unlocked T889 running 4G (HSPA+) on AT&T. So long as you have a data plan it'll work. LTE radio is software locked for now, but really HSPA+ is fast enough for most uses and probably doesn't drain the battery as fast.

I have the TMobile SGH-T889...paid $25 to that cellunlocker cite, used their code with my AT&T HTC One X SIM in the Note II. It registered on AT&T, so I ran some speedtests with the Ookla app. I got test speeds in the 3-4Mb/s range, which in my area is as good as AT&T's HSPA+ network gets. The same SIM pulls the same speeds on my AT&T One X.
Conclusion, it works on AT&T 3G/fake-4G network no problems.
That said, the exact same phone, in the exact same location, with its TMobile SIM in it, gets 10-12Mb/s on the speedtest app. Not sure why I'd want to run the AT&T sim in this phone with that kind of speed difference.

I think the best that it supports is HSDPA, which isn't great. I keep getting an "H+" symbol, but I don't see great speeds. I know that AT&T isn't exactly the best around here, so it could be the network. I can run a few speed tests around the area and see what comes up.
I've had 2 different devices on at&t's H+ network. Right now I'm on straight talk with the note1.
I average about 3-5meg download, 1-3meg upload, unless the network is jammed up.

HSPA+ is more than fast enough. In fact, in many areas, AT&T's backhaul is so poor that LTE provides no speed advantage. (because, while the air interface is fast, there is insufficient bandwidth from the tower to the rest of the world. This is the case, for example, in Binghamton, NY currently.)
I've been using my N1 on AT&T for over a month - it's great!
How's call quality and reception. I live in the greater Seattle area, and sometimes calls will not go through even though they don't thru all the way to voice mail.

Its a 3G phone. So we are going to get at best HSPA+ speeds.
You two literally asked the exact same question, word for word. That's pretty strange.
Also, you should read other replies before asking something. Since you asked the exact same thing, you would have seen the answer to that question.

Which AT&T was calling "4G" for over a year.
If you watch the XDA review of the phone, he says 3G right away. And early in this post I asked about the data speeds too and it was pointed out that its a 3G phone.

Which in reality is 3.5G. It's the jump between 3G&4G

More like 3.75G or so.
UMTS = 3G
HSDPA = 3.5G
HSPA+ = 3.75G
LTE = 3.9G (LTE doesn't actually meet the original requirements for 4G - only LTE Advanced does. Then the US carriers ruined it by calling HSPA+ "4G")
In the USA, LTE's main advantage is better latency for latency-sensitive applications. The bandwidth is useless given how ridiculously low our bandwidth caps are.
Either way I was thinking that the non LTE was going to be a deal breaker for me, but I dont use my data plan that much. Im mainly on wifi. So here soon I should be ordering my 32 GB version. Can someone upload some pictures please.

I suggest you go through the review thread. Also Google plus has various pictures posted by the ambassadors

As noted by Chod, check out this link en.oppo.com/n1pioneers. Then go to some of their G+ pages and check out their public albums. There are quite a few public pictures between them.
how do you think guys ? how many of them will be sold?
I mean oppo N1
1milion-2milions ?
more ?
less ?
I am courious couse it depends how people will trust CM team and good chinese company oppo - working together and it will influence for next one cooperative some company and CM version of phones
in other I can say that it is good connection but only peoples need to know more about how good is CM version of operating system (super fast, stable, simple and much of configureable)
I see you on wall street near and will be first person which will but some stock paper
google and apple can be worry I think ... maybe not now but in next few years they lost beacuse of you CM team!

I was talking about picture of the phone. I have a 13 MP shooter on my phone. I just want to see size differences.

Oh... lol I see. I'll post up some pictures next to my devices when I go home on lunch today. For now though, you can see a few at these links:
Compared to HTC One
Compared to Galaxy S4
Another with GS4
