Is there a way to get this phone to work with metro pcs so that I can tell sprint to kick rocks?

In my area metro has faster 3g than sprint. Never really below 1.3mbps. Hope this changes when network upgrades get here.

heard a rumor that Boost is getting WiMax, but that may not help you if you are in an area with no WiMax

Boost doesn't have 4G.
And Metro PCS uses LTE for it's 4G.
So no.

Boost "is" launching Wimax. Not sure if they have or not already.

It's 4g on prepaid though. For those who can use it it's a nicer option for a dirt cheap prepaid plan.

Boost starts their prepaid plans for wimax 4g in 2 days I believe... 5/31 if I'm not mistaken...

boost=sprint
I worked for ericsson and boost uses the same CDMA equipment that sprint does. So they are pretty much the same.

Technically...there is a way and I am using it! I forgot where I learned "How To" do this at but as always if you search you will find, or PM me....Since Clear internet is the Same as Sprint you can at anytime activate your Wimac ID on Clear as a wimax ready laptop and just pay for the plan....of course there are also some settings you will have to change in your phone! I am currently using a Sprint Epic 4G Og flashed to Cricket with working Wimax through Clear....
I No longer support this thread due to the lack of time I have lately. This video will show you how to get up and running on P+ with 1x data only.
This wil work for the Sprint, Verizon and US Cellular variant.
Yes I can get 3G but, the method is not allowed on this forum.
Please don't PM me asking how to get 3G as I will not reply.
Hit thanks if you watched this video please

Wow awesome Nevell. Thanks so much for this.
A few questions.
How different would it be to flash Straight Talk?
After flashing can I load ROMS like CyanogenMod and such without issue?
On the Sprint one yes but not on the VZW one. As far as flashing to ST you would need a donor phone. I won't go into details but that should be a start for you.
OP updated with new Verizon GS3 fully flashed with 3G youtube video demo.
I have been trying to flash verizon gs3 to sprint, and have talk and text but no data, I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have tried everything. Thanks for your videos and help is appreciated

Why not just trade your VZW GS3 for a Sprint GS3 on your local Craigslist?
I do have the sprint one, but I wanted the GSM capabilities of the Verizon one cause I travel over seas.

I can do 3G on the VZW 1 but I'm not going to discuss the method of doing it.
That's all I need to know if is doable and if it's stable steady 3G.

I really wish there was like a toggle or 4g switch like it was with wimax, this luck of the draw 4g kills me, but my main thing is I hope tethering comes back, sprint really blocked it this time

Does it work with EasyTether?
Yeah its really spotty and on/off for me. Weird observation though... I get 4g with my note in places I don't with my Galaxy Nexus.
Darn them, talked to a shentel rep (people that control sprint towers where I am) and these lte siting are just the test sites -_- but hey, at least full lte will be out at the end of the year for me at least, but hey for test speed of anywhere from, 8-20mb down?! I can't complain, but hey, I saw the same speeds with my wimax 4g, so to each his own
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
With Note 2 i get LTE everywhere in Dallas Ft. Worth. Even traveling to other cities through tolls where development is not really there. Just alot of trees. I even get LTE in most people homes. Nexus never had this strong of a signal and if LTE switched the phone would freeze. I can honestly say this is a good phone.

[email protected] you Texas!!!!! Lol, but great speeds man, I still haven't seen anything near that in good ol pa, shentel needs to hurry up!!! But for the test site, I pretty much get lte in the majority of areas I go to, and at least get 2mb down at home if I'm not using wifi for 3g

I am also seeing very little battery drain from 4G. The radios in this phone are amazing (especially compared to the Nexus).
I havent gotten my note yet but I was also really concern on how would lte and the battery would play. Are some of you guys noticing big drains or small drains with lte on?

Depends, since a lot of areas are tests sites, lte does drop on and off for me, but battery still lasts all day, I say Samsung got it right with the battery, hope other manufacturers follow suit

They have recently expanded their signal here in dallas, texas and now I get 4g on my work which I never usually got any 4g signal because of this old bulding but now I get some strong 4g signal. Props for sprint but my speeds are not that fast, I usually get max 5 or even 6 thats it :S

I had no problems with my 3G until Saturday morning. Then all of a sudden I cannot get 3G. I don't know what to do?
Well what I would do is connect the phone to qpst or cdma workshop and check to see if your AAA/HA keys are all still in place.
Could also be maintenance on towers in your area.

Would anyone reading this thread be willing to point me in the direction of a step by step thread on flashing epic 4g touch to Verizon prepaid? Since I am on boost network would I even be able to flash to Verizon? I really don't want to pay anyone to do this for me. Much appreciation in advance.

Also I used the Verizon gutso 2 prepaid phone. I had a extra Samsung fascinate so I was able to get the 3g keys and all that.
If you don't have a Fascinate then you can follow this thread and pull the 3g info from the gutso 2 even after it was activated. At least it worked for me.

I would not mind having 4G even if crappy.
Your Download speeds should always be almost double your Upload speeds, when they're not like in your screen shot usually means there's a glitch in your tower, if it's consistant I would **72786* it, happens to me sometimes when switching roms. It needs to re sync itself with the tower stuff. Just throwin that out there, hope it helps. Also my speeds on 3G have been all over the place because of the tower work going on in my area. One day I get 2.3 mps the next I'm crawling at less than 100 kps. But yes much more enjoy sending Sprint half the $$ Verizon wants!
