You won't get any 3g or 4g speeds with t-mobile. I have this phone with t-mobile and the data speed is very poor, only averaging between 25kbps to around 100kbps, if even that. This doesn't mean it'll always be like that, because t-mobile does have plans to upgrade their frequencies so we should be able to use 3g soon or later.
As for unlocking, you can easily using an unlock code which you will have to purchase. Rooting should be fine as I've had mine rooted several times, but I simply prefer stock as ICS is coming.
Edit:
Just noticed. Are you referring to the Glide or the normal Captivate? Because this is the Glide forums.

DEF the GLIDE i love the keyboard but i really dont want to upgrade to the ICS cause of bugs and issues i would love to go for froyo as basic as possible to max the perfomance

Well for unlocking, I obtained my code from cellunlocker.net , was only $7.99 USD (This price may have changed) and they offer full detailed instructions on what to do as well. As for rooting, this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378082 should help you accomplish just that.

cool ill just wait till theres an update for the 3g and 4g cause im sick of my mytouch 4g slide and theres no luck for the verizon droid 3

Somebody correct me if I am wrong but this phone will never get 3g on t-mobile, they use a different frequency.
It will also never get 4g because it is not really a 4g phone, it is hsdpa+ which is just slightly faster 3g.
T-mobile is adding LTE, which this phone cannot do.

T-Mo discussion
I discussed this very possibility with a T-Mo representative the other day. They are looking at re-purposing about half of the 2G spectrum for 4G data, and have already begun quietly implementing this in certain urban areas where they want to compete more with ATT. I've been a customer with ATT for far too long, and called up and had free unlock codes for my phone on the 20th of May. I tested with my girlfriend's SIM card in my phone, it worked and was pretty slow, but a slow signal is better for me than the zero signal I get with ATT when I'm at work. Keep your fingers crossed, this may be the straw that breaks the camel's back for me come October 29th (when my ATT contract runs out)

unlocking issues
Replying because i also have unlock issues. I just bought a rogers locked glide from newegg and an unlock code from cellphoneunlock.net. So far i"ve had no luck unlocking the device. I've tried all methods the site suggested with and without an att sim card. So far none of them brings up the unlock pass code screen like i"ve seen in youtube videos and in this post. Instead i get a "ussd code running" message followed by "connection problem or invalid mmi code" message. Phone isn"t rooted or modded and has only been factory reset so far. Thanks in advance for any help i can get.

How is that the glide?? It has andriod 2.3.1? Thought glide started with 2.3.5??

First of all, you should start your own thread.
Second, aside from entering the code you've bought after being prompted for it by booting with a "foreign" SIM card, the two other methods out there involve root or CWM.

Actually it is an LTE phone according to Samsung here:

The verizon prl should give you full 3g, that's the point of it. If you are only getting 1x, either verizon doesnt have 3g where you are, or you are still on a sprint prl and roaming on verizon, which would only give you 1x.
I try *2 and I just get the Sprint thingy that checks the network. I'm on prl 0001. But this seems like I am still on Sprint.

Go ahead and do this if you really want, i highly recommend against it. All your doing is installing a force roam. If you flash 0001.prl you will always be roaming. I flashed it about 6 months ago, and everything was good for a few months, until sprint sent me a letter saying my account was being cancelled because a certain percentage of my data was roaming. If you look on your contract, even though it may say unlimited roaming, sprint still reserves the right to end your service if you go over 5Gb of roaming data or a certain percentage of your data is roaming.
I did eventually get them to not cancel my account, but my phone number remains on a list of numbers that they monitor that have gone over their roaming within the last 6 months (even though my roaming is supposedly unlimited). They do automated checks of that list and my phone gets turned off about once a week, meaning i have to call and deal with customer service constantly.
Think about whats going on here for a second. Verizon and sprint have agreements that let sprint users roam on verizon 1x services, NOT 3G. Everytime your phone downloads data from a verizon tower verizon sends sprint the bill. Once sprint realizes your phone number is causing them to pay massive fees to verizon theyre going to cancel your account. it doesnt matter if your choose home only in roaming options, because since you have installed a verizon PRL your phone thinks verizon IS home.
I fully understand what I am doing... as long as I stuck with this crappy Sprint service I will use this, and if they do cancel then I will just sign with Verizon directly ...

Are you going for coverage or speed? 00001.prl will probably increase your coverage significantly, it definitely did for me. But as far as speed goes, verizon is definitely slower than sprint. Thats my personal experience and has been confirmed by quite a few studies ive seen online. Also if you use speedtest.net frequently you'll see that with 00001.prl your latency (time it takes the signal to travel) increases dramatically.
So how do you put a sprint PRL back after a few months?

Have you read the Verizon prl thread? It tells you this on the first post. Just flash back to a sense rom (if you already arent) and update the prl through the menu. This will put you back on a sprint prl.
I've never had an issue with sprint busting my chops over roaming... been running prl hack for a long time with roaming data at least up to 5gb with some as high as 10gb..

Roger's Galaxy Nexus - Any bloatware & is it yakju

Finally GNex for Rogers.
Anybody get it yet?
I'm just curious because I don't trust my own carrier at all, they have a tendency to screw things up royally all the time. (last time I bought a phone from them was the HTC Dream) and that was a huge mess with the entire cannot dial 911 with data enabled forcing an entire legal issue and a mandatory patch or suspension of service. Since then I've happily owned a Nexus One (shipped from Google) for the past two wonderful years.
Can anybody confirm that Rogers has not stuck their dirty fingers inside our dear Galaxy Nexus? (no bloatware, no Rogers Logo on boot, etc etc)
also this isn't a deal breaker but I'm just wondering if it's yakju or not.
as long as it is not Rogers Branded at all I'll go pick mine up today =)
THANKS for any info guys
It won't be branded as Rogers. Pure stock. Yakju? Not sure, you can just change it later if you desire.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I've done a lot of searching around the forums to know that yakju or not I can live with it, I know that it should be clean and not branded at all, but it's my life long experience with Rogers that has conditioned me never to assume the best with this company...
yet the reason I stay is because they do provide one of the best services in Toronto. Nothing would make me happier to pay $30 for voice and data with Wind or Mobilicity but truth be told, reliability is more important even if it costs 3 times more...
It doesn't matter if you have yakju or yakjuux.. I am glad you decided you can live with it being either

I would like to know this also. I am getting pretty antsy right now waiting for Rogers to call so I can go pick up my phone.

This might not mean anything but my friend got his from Fido and he said that it has no bloatware from them so perhaps its a sign that Rogers decided to not put anything on there.

Sorry to get off topic, but I've been on Rogers for years (like you, ordered a N1 from google) but my service of late was ****. Dropped called, dropping out of 3g, slow, slow internet and no service while my co-workers were chatting away on their phones. I thought my phone was defective by I looked on howard forums and there's tons of people having issues. Long story short I broke my contract and moved to virgin so I could get the GN right away. The service is SO MUCH BETTER! It was the best $200 I ever spent.
If you've got a good plan with rogers, fair enough, but I assure you, their service is not longer the best.
I've had mine 2 days with rogers..it's awesome.just get volume +, and I hope we get 4.02 soon,bell / virgin started yesterday

I just picked mine up within the last hour and so far everything is sweet.
Just a question i have though, for OTA updates does a popup show in the notification bar or am I suppose to go look manually to see if updates are available on a site or something?
I have same question...i think it notifies if you reboot, or go into"about phone"and click on system updates, and it verifies. Nothing yet, but I hope to get it soon

Where did you see that bell/virgin phones are getting 4.0.2? I haven't seen a single post of this yet.
What radio is the rogers nexus using?
hey , for people who recently bought the ROGERS Galaxy Nexus, can you post what MODEM/BASEBAND version it came with???
I'm curious if its any different from the Bell/Virgin/International ones
And if so, could someone pull the radio for us to flash?
I'm using an international Galaxy Nexus on Rogers and am curious if the Rogers GN radio will benefit
Thanks!

[Q] Switching from ATT Galaxy S III to T-Mobile Galaxy S III (DC Metro)

ATT is screwing me by refusing to carry forward my unlimited data plan to LTE and has repeatedly tried to force me onto a capped plan.
I saw a newspaper ad today (archaic - I know!) saying T-Mo has an unlimited everything plan for this phone for $90 and it's tempting. I'm hoping to sell or swap my existing GS3.
Is there anything I should be aware of?
Also, what is T-mo's take on this plan if I try to tether?
Thanks.
I'm pretty sure you can just swap sims? Tethering has been beaten to death on these forums. I'd take a few minutes to search and ask your questions in those threads if they haven't been covered yet.

I think I already made it clear I anticipated getting a new S3. I know that they aren't fully compatible for 3/4G/LTE.
Re: Tethering. I though this was a new plan - it appears to be as much in the advert.
They block tethering on unlimited data plans but rooted tethering might work. I haven't tried it yet.

They are trying to kill teather with updates. I tried T-Mobile with still having my main line on att. Speeds were either really fast or dead slow. I'd rather just stick with att because it's decently fast wherever I go.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I just recently re-upped with T-Mobile. They have two types of plans out right now. They have what they call the classic plan and I can't remember what their new plans are called.
Anyway, with the classic plan you get the phone subsidized, but the plan itself is pretty expensive. On the other hand if you get their newer plan, you pay full price for the phone, but the plan itself is dirt cheap (cheapest I can find among the major carriers). While $600 for a phone might seem like a lot, they only require a $200 down payment and since you're starting a new contract you'll probably get $100 or so knocked off. The rest of the price of the phone is spread throughout the first 20 months of your contract.
Applying a little basic finance and assuming you have a decent stock portfolio, I estimated my cost of my Galaxy S3 at around $350 and my monthly fees went down from $230-250 to its current $140-150.
Don't know much about T-Mobile signal in your area, but if you can manage a consistent 3G I'd say it's worth the cost savings.
I would tell you that you will be very happy with t-mobile vs att, I did the switch my self and I couldn't be any happier, my data is very fast and yes it is faster than att and I get 4g 95% of the time in my area, my brother still have att with the s3 and my phone is way faster than his, on a speed test mine gets between 17000-22000 kbs consent vs his the highest he gets is about 5000-8000

Data speeds.

I've never in m whole life used a gsm phone. I have the unlocked nexus and got myself tmobile service. It was the best coverage for the cost. But it seems my data speeds are sh*tty. Everything is super slow. Do I have to configure my phone for proper use with tmo? Everything seems to be OK except data. I've checked coverage I'm all green everywhere, doesn't make sense. Here's a screen cap of a speed test.

have you tested the speed in another location? example if that test was done at home, do one at work/school and compare
if it is just as slow you can try flashing a different radio..
i have generally been getting about 3-10 mbps depending on where i am/time of test...faster speeds as it gets later (network traffic slows down quite a bit at night around 10pm-midnight)
Somethings not right there. Did you just activate the service? Sometimes it can take a couple days for everything to get squared away on T-Mobile's end.
Also, have you double checked your APN settings to make sure everything is in order?
I'd also try some reboots and airplane cycles to make sure its connecting. Although it looks like you've got full HSPA+ connectivity. It could also just be a fluke with the tower you're on or the speedtest server you're testing on.

I'm not bootloader unlocked or even rooted for that matter. When I do I will play around with radios. I even tried googling a way to force 3g instead of HSPA+ to make sure it wasn't the tower. No luck yet. I did a speed test at my home and it was the same. The speed test I posted was at work.

APNs seem right from what I can remember.
I think you either have a SIM problem, a tower problem, or data hasn't been activated properly on your account. I'd give it another full day (T-Mo can be slow to activate fully), and if its not working, call and tell them your phone's data speed is extremely slow. They can try to reset it on their end (or send new SIM) or check for a tower issue.
Did you get the 200MB plan and use it all up? Because they throttle you when you use it all up. Them look like throttled speeds to me.
Or maybe, they are throttling you by mistake...
Also, have you restarted your phone?
Power it off for a bit. Pull the battery... then start it back up. I've seen that fix MANY things, and it's easy.

Looks like everything is as it should be. T-Mobile Monthly4G tech support is nice... but difficult to understand. I'd keep my hopes up.
OK. I'll leave it for a few days and if its still not working I'll give em a call. Once again thank you.

So its been about three days and its still the same. I flashes a few different radio firmwares and I found one that will give me anywhere from .1 to .3Mbps down. I have opened a ticked with T-Mobile thinking it may be the tower(s) in my town. Haven't heard back yet but I want to keep this updated. If it doesn't work out I will probably end up going with an at&t mnvo
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
The same things is with my phone. Three days since activation and data speeds are 1x slow. It's time to play with radios
I've tried more radios than I can count. So I ordered an st att sim and got it activated today. There is a huuuge difference from .05 tmo to 3.5 att st so I guess even if coverage is good and they say its fine there are some places where the actual back haul of the network is seriously lacking. If it still doesn't work for you go ahead and try a different provider. Made a world of difference for me.

AT&T compatibility

For those of you using AT&T. Do not update your IMEI at this time and hope that the system doesn't auto update it. LTE is not supported on the OP3. I am currently stuck on 4G due to this problem.
I have opened a ticket to get the OP3 registered. I will date back here.
My ATT service is perfect with LTE.
Update your APN's
Nextgenphone and ATT Phone. The network is blocking LTE access. Your IMEI hasn't updated yet. Mine worked fine for a few hours.
I work in a cor AT&T store. There were features removed when I changed my IMEI. Once AT&T updates their IMEI database it'll be fine.
I've had the phone since noon on Friday and still no issues with AT&T. I have not called to change IMEI.

I am having same problem, my two devices are stuck in HSPA mode. I spent over an hour online chat with AT&T to no resolution. They tried but could not understand the problem. I had the phones activated at corporate store today too. Hopefully this problem gets resolved soon.
Guys don't bother with the att reps. Most of them have no idea what they are doing with an iPhone let alone anything else. The worst thing you can do is call them for help.
I agree with zelendel even though I work for the company. I am sure I'm not the only person who has opened a ticket to the OP3 added. In the mean time if you call customer service and just ask them to have a manager approve adding the nextgenphone apn to your line then it will fix the issue temporarily. I have LTE back for the time being.
How temporarily is the fix? And is there an eta on when att will fix the problem? I will be returning this phone if I can't use LTE on it.
So will this phone be updated and approved to receive LTE in the future by att? This is kind of a major deal if not.

Too late for it to be approved. This is one of the things you learn to deal with when you buy China based devices. They don't get approved by the Fcc which in turn causes issues with LTE and what not.

So because of you I should expect to see a text from AT&T saying they've detected that I'm using a smartphone and have added an expensive data plan? Great.
Pretty sure you just needed to use the right APN.

Pretty sure I know the right APN. What plan are you on that's worth saving...senior talk 200? That's the only plan in the last 10 years that's cheaper than any new plan which all include data. Please don't be a **** because you didn't have a problem. Others will and when they do its nice to help them understand what's wrong.
im on at&t go and it worked out of the box with LTE.
if what the OP said is true, u can get another IMEI that uses a nano sim card and then call att to activate that IMEI with att and then just reinsert the sim into the OP3 without calling, I did not update IMEI either but i do have a little issues with downloading things it switches back and forth quickly between 4+ and LTE but still get good speeds
Just opened my OP3 an hour ago and put my ATT nano sim in.

Yeah my LTE worked fine for at least 5 hours after I changed the IMEI. I was at work on WiFi so I don't know when it quit exactly. Even putting my sim back in a recognized device yielded no data. Called in got the nextgenphone added to my line, LTE came back. The problem with using another IMEI is sooner or later the system will update and you end up with no data.

Changing the IMEI is not only illegal but can also cause other issues with the device it's self.

The IMEI will be updated when they scan the network which they do from time to time.

Well considering what you are doing is fraud that is on you.
also try to go to the AT&T Phone APN not the ATT Nextgenphone
