Convert E4GT from sprint to metro?

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

Sprint 3g while on phone call

Ok i thought someone posted this before but it had turned up to be a cm9 bug. Well im running the phantom blazers Rom version 1.4 and i was talking on the phone using GPS and missed my turn. It rerouted me with no data connection error. I then opened up the browser and went to xda's website with no issues. Actually seemed faster then normal. Click on a new thread that i have never been on and pulled it up no problem. I am in Ohio so no lte plus it's disabled. What's the deal?? It showed 3g the whole time.....

Evo LTE and SGS3 support data and voice at the same time. Why it took this long to happen, who knows...but it is a good thing.

What? I meant that Boost has had the Galaxy S II on their site.
If you want a Boost modem you can flash the tar in Odin, there was a leak on here.

Anyone that has an actual Boost phone will want to BOLO for FI22.
Source dropped which confirms it will be next OTA.

My friend has a boost galaxy s II can you root and use the ROMs in the development section for sprint

Yes, the hardware is identical, just re-branded. The fact us sprint users can flash the boost firmware ensures the possibly.

Anybody have the sprint epic touch flashed to boost with working 4g now?

I'm not sure if the system will work like that. I think depending on the donor phone. The system creates a working 4G for your phone. For example, if you used a normal LG 3G based phone. The system does not register you as a working 4G phone. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks. That makes sense actually i was just thinking that since the official boost one came out it would be a way to get us on 4g

that is exactly correct. the donor must be 4g. sprint imei codes will not activate on boost or that is the story they are telling to sell phones

i actually flashed mine to boost and have so much truble... first of all my brother has sprint airave and that interferes with my phone. cant text make nor receive calls. it only works when i leave the house.. the bad thing is that i work under some apartment buildings and someone has an airave which is bad for me...
Does anyone knows if there is a fix to this..????

There should be no reason you to have issues at home because your brother has sprint. I have many friends that have boost that come over a lot without issues. Perhaps something on your settings are wrong when you flashed it.

Boost mobile with T mobile

Asking this for a mate in the states, if he buys an S3 on Boost mobile is he able to use it on T Mobile, flash new roms and stuff? we only have the international version here in New Zealand so do not know the answer

Isn't Boost Mobile on Sprint?

sprint owns boost as well as nextel which both are still gsm phones.. but sprint is shutting down nextel but boost will still be around. but as far as boost phones working on tmobile....... i dont know

Actually sprint/boost/Nextel are CDMA and T-Mobile is GSM.
You will need a GSM service for T-Mobile branded phones.

Yes i agree. I gave my old phone to a friend from columbia and she got the 15 a month for unlimited text and like 10 cents a minute. or you could get the T-Mobile prepay unlimited web (throttles after 5GB) text and 100 minutes. Its only 30 a month and can be dropped whenever.

thanks guys i have messaged him on FB with this

I have it and I don't get throttled. But I cannot confirm as I never have even gone over 2 GB
And I get 12mbps down and 700kbps up on average. It really depends where you are though. Some get 22 and 4mbps

Ugh. Still same crappy service. I can't wait to leave sprint >.> its been 5 years for me waiting for them to get better... Any who the comments on that article are a whoot and I feel the same way.. No throttling sure...because our entire network is throttled love my unlimited 1X service that's <300kbps

I'd like to try Sprint again, just to see if service in my area has gotten any better in the last 6 months. And without a contract would be nice.

I'll never understand why companies do this (own several different brands). All it does is decrease the effectiveness of your marketing. Why does GM need to sell 20 different midsize vehicles all under different brands? Why does sprint need Virgin and Boost.

Virgin didn't use to throttle speeds either.

Couldn't I just activate my E4GT on prepaid? It's never been activated on any account.

Hopefully this might be a game changer for other carriers as well hence the fact they did this cuz the tmobile/metro pcs merger

As long as it's a clean ESN they should. One quick chat with Sprint can confirm that.

Having different brands can be easier than trying to explain the differences between your products. For instance, Sprint's offerings have features like roaming, nights and weekends, mobile to mobile, LTE, etc, while Virgin Mobile doesn't. It's probably less confusing for the average consumer to view two brands than to have Sprint explain, "This is a 300 minute plan, but it's not the same as these other plans because it's missing these features." Instead, Sprint gets to market VM as a full service provider to people who don't know what they're missing.

But Sprint already sells multiple plans, so that doesn't really fix anything.
