[Q] T-Mobile Galaxy SII on AT&T?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but will my T-Mobile Galaxy SII T-989 work on the AT&T network with full service 4G if I unlock my T-989? Thinking about switching providers and wanted to know if my phone will work.

yeah thats what i heard..i dont know about 4g but i think it wil go ful speed 3g for data.. so yeah.

3G yes. 4G as in HSPDA yes, 4G as in LTE no

Actually the T-Mobile GS2 has LTE radio in it. At least anytime you plug it in to the computer it registers as an LTE composite device.

I wondered about 4G LTE. I was in a service setting menu and there was an option to change the band to LTE. Not sure if the phone has the capability but the option in the menu is there.

That doesn't mean anything, you don't have the hardware

confusion then. why is it the first Samsung device to show LTE bands then... if it doesn't actually have the hardware then why do they show up? the t959v gs4g doesn't show them. why this one?

[Q] Unlocked Galaxy Nexus works with all carriers?

Okay, newbie here. Will be buying my first smartphone and I've decided on the galaxy nexus. First, some important info: I'm from Canada. Bell has the phone on a three year contract with a $50 plan, which I don't want. So I'm looking at buying an unlocked version so there won't be contracts and I can use which ever carrier I want.
NegriElectronics seems to sell it unlocked. (aww.....can't post links.)
However, when I asked the guy, he said that it was the GSM version so will only work with gsm networks. But from my research online and a similar post on this forum, it seems that any and all galaxy nexus phones have quadband gsm and pentaband hspa so will work with all carriers?
So I'm currently confused as to which one is correct. I really want to make sure. Since I'm new to this, any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Both are correct. The GNex is a quadband GSM phone, and thus will operate in all GSM networks.

Canadian carriers already killed cdma, so you can use it on basically any carrier you want on Canada. Only if it's not lte SIM card or anything like that

Thank you very much to both for clarifying. So wait, what if I buy the galaxy nexus from either windmobile or mobilicity as they both allow you to buy it outright without contract? Will I still be able to use the phone with other carriers or will it be locked to the company I bought it from?

do you have the GSM model? (i'm assume yes since its CAN) if so, yes it will work fine.

I don't have a sgn yet but I'm thinking of getting one from wind mobile in Canada. But I plan to move to NYC soon just wanted to make sure it will work on tmobile and at&t in the states. The wind mobile sgn is GSM.

I'm not sure if Wind has changed their systems in the last few months, but I was told you have to have a phone that supports AWS 1700/2100. I was told my Sony Xperia, that supports both freqs wouldn't work. I don't know who to trust.

[Q] Verizon lte 4g Samsung Nexus sch-i515

Hi guys new to the forums i did alot of searching and researching but just cant figure out a solution. I purchased this phone as a replacement to use in canada on the bell mobility network when i first recieved the phone i went to bell and tested with there sim card and the phone would not connect, so after being dissapointed i went home and downloaded and installed the Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.1 and unlocked and rooted the phone hopping this was my solution after this i headed back to the bell store and tested again still no luck I am hopping someone has any ideas for me i really would like to get this phone working
thanks

From what I understand, Bell is a GSM network correct? Well, Verizon is a CDMA carrier. The SIM card in our i515 is only for LTE. That's it. It won't work on Bell, I'm pretty sure you need an unlocked GSM Nexus for that. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Bell Canada is not a CDMA carrier, you bought the wrong model, research first next time.

id like to know where you found that? if its from bell's website, you need to ask them how to flash a CDMA phone to their network.
if its not from their website, uh yeah... they're pretty much GSM only from what i know of them
EDIT: you found that information not from their website. here's the info you shouldve read: http://support.bell.ca/Mobility/Net..._phone_or_smartphone_work_on_the_Bell_network

oh well im guess im pooched its the internal electronics that are not compatible i was hoping the unlocking and rooting would do the trick

No... The CDMA Nexus will only work on Verizon. I believe some of the very small carriers will work but don't depend on it. I think Rodgers may have a chance, but VZW is very tight about its phones

You could probably manually program it with the tools autoprime posted here in general for 3G, Talk, and Text but you'll never get LTE on it.

Its all about what frequencies the phones radio has. My old incredible 2 had a different radio and could go to cricket, yet my nexus can't get to any other because of the fact that there's more than one CDMA frequency.

Do you have a LTE-enabled device? I don't think you do... If your device's model really is GT-I9250.

if its your att plan, it will never work with the galaxy nexus. ever.

The i9250 isn't capable of 4g/LTE. Physically impossible considering it doesn't have the hardware for it.
