How do you test that it doesn't work? Just out of curiosity.

I think that was user error on their end. Keep in mind that pentaband does not mean the 42mbps that Tmo has.

? where did you see this? there are only 4 significant models:
Maguro(yakju,takju,yakjuxw,etc): International Pentaband
Maguro(DoCoMo): Pentaband... locked to DoCoMo
Mysid(Verizon): VZW LTE
Mysid(Sprint): Sprint LTE/3G [LTE not yet available]

I have White Galaxy Nexus
I have White Galaxy Nexus i9250 and I am using it on T-Mobile. I get both 3G and HSPA on my phone.

I've seen people post it in the forums, guess it was just apn mistakes. Thanks guys

Anything can be said on the internet. It doesn't mean it's true.
That's like saying a iPhone 4S Black can't support 3G on AT&T but a White version can. It's the same thing, just a different color. That's all.

[Q] UN-Verizon my Galaxy Nexus - Possible?

Hi.
I own a galaxy nexus from Verizon.
I wanted to know if I can use it with TMobile. I am moving, and Verizon obviously will not let me cancel my plan, as they do have coverage in my new location (but it's horrible!).
I know that the Galaxy Nexus is penta-band and supports Tmobile 4G network and will work with T-mobile.
The question is - is it doable? If so, what is it that I need? Just an unlock code?
Any info will be very welcomed and greatly thanked for!
No. Your Verizon nexus will NEVER work for T-Mobile.
There are two different versions of this phone and yours only works for Verizon.

I have t-mobile, but if I had att I wouldn't switch just because of handset availability.
If you are out of contract you should weigh the pros and cons of each in terms of coverage in your area, pricing of comparable plans to satisfy your needs, and THEN device selection.
Plus if you wait a lil longer you can maybe get your hands on the red version!
You realise you can get the AT&T GS3 overnighted to you. You just have to call up and ask for one.
I have a new line with the one x and I'm within my 30 days maybe I'll just see if bb has them. I would switch carriers based on horrible service that att has
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I wouldn't switch.. far as I know ( and correct me if I'm wrong ) the T-Mobile version of the SGSIII does NOT have LTE !! To me, that would be a waste.

It has badass hspa+ (42mbps) though which can just as fast as lte depending on location. And it doesnt kill battery like lte, so id say the tmo version is a great option..

LOL, Best Buy is not selling AT&T Galaxy S3's over the counter! I dont know where you have heard that, but you definitely haven't been following either of the 2 Official Best Buy Galaxy S3 threads.
If Best Buy does have them in stock for AT&T, which is a HUGE IF, they are saying they cannot sell them because AT&T has not announced an official release date/launch date. I know, that makes not sense and is a huge lie, but that is what they are saying.
So NO, Best Buy is not selling AT&T Galaxy S3's over the counter.

Galaxy nexus 4g lte for AT&T?

Hey guys, i currently have a htc one x from at&t and development on there is like dead..
So i'm thinking of switching to the galaxy nexus since i had a nexus S and it was sexy and dependable.
what im looking for the a white galaxy nexus,
So the question i'm asking is, does this device support the 4g lte of at&t? if so, what would the model number be?
i know it does support 4g, but i cant find anything on the lte info on google
thanks for the responses
No LTE on At&t's Gnex.
No, in order to use it on AT&T you need the unlocked GSM model (i9250), which is HSPA+ 21mbps, not LTE.
And the two LTE variants for Verizon and Sprint will not work on AT&T. Just how it is.
ugh sadface...
how are the speeds on hspa?

Depends on your area, anywhere from 3mbps to about 10mbps. Why don't you turn off LTE on your One X and see?

Honestly, my speeds with big red weren't really that far off. I've very seldom gotten over 30 down and 10 up w Verizon. They're about the same as far as the speeds I've seen. Its the coverage that's scketchy.

i'm trying to locate a good place to buy Sprint Nexus off-contract, mint-condition used or new to use on Sprint network without signing/extending contact. i currently have gt-i9250 on t-mobile, while my friend has htc evo on sprint, i wanna switch him over to nexus experience without singing another 2 year contract.
Anyone knows a good place in Boston/Mass/NH or online where i can buy SPH-L700?!
Thank you in advance
and sorry for not creating separate thread.
Not to be a downer, but when I got the TBolt (First Verizon 4G Lte phone) my speeds were constantly 35+ Mbps everywhere I went. Now that everyone and their mother has a 4G phone I am lucky to get about 10 - 15Mbps in most places. Saturation is a killer.

[Q] 4G LTE compatibility?

I just saw in Miami that we're getting 4G LTE today and want to know if it's compatible with the T989 s2?

Unless Tmo planned for 1.5 years ahead when they launched the Herc, I doubt we have the right hardware. Hopefully it does have support and Tmo did plan for the future but they're keeping it a secret . Because when they build the source for a ROM, they don't take out individual little things for certain devices.

Don't get your hopes up. I think the S3 and Note 2 are the only ones that are capable at the moment and they will need a software upgrade to unlock it.

Because firmwares are made by Samsung and the skyrocket has lte. The firmwares are designed for simplicity. Meaning, Samsung only has to make one firmware for all variants. That's why that option is there.

Actually the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III (SGH-T999) is NOT capable of it period. I have one. But i did read rumors that they may be making another S3, one with the exact same specs, but adding an LTE capable chip. T-Mobile went on the cheap side with their S3 and used the same chip as the ATT and other variants, but cut out the LTE capabilities. Kinda dumb but hey im not the CEO. lol.
But you are right, the Note 2 just needs a firmware update to enable LTE, also, the only other phone capable of T-Mobile LTE is the Windows Phone 8X.
