can anyone verify if the ATT version of the S3 can pull in HSPA+ on T-Mobile with or without a radio flash like the Note and S2?
wow, SEARCH. no.

I use Net10 as my provider and it looks like they will have the S II soon. Since there is no forum for that specific phone from net10 which variant is closest? Also, will cyanogen mod be possible?

Thanks!
It looks like the AT&T variant of the Galaxy S2 but with stock Android 2.3 out of the box. It also shares the same specs as the AT&T model of the S2. You can try flashing a ROM meant for the AT&T S2 and it will probably be fine.
Well, I have a carrier unlocked Note 2 from AT&T, and I have 1 sim from AT&T and another sim from T-Mobile... Okay... My Note 2 right now is with the International ROM that is all over the AT&T forums here on XDA (and t-mobile forums as well) with the multi-window feature... I added the AT&T APN and I get LTE with my AT&T sim of course...
Now, when I insert the T-Mobile sim I only get Edge on T-Mobile, just like the Note 1. All I need is to flash a hybrid modem or T-Mobile modem and I should get HSPA+ (3.5G) on T-Mobile, exactly as the Note 1...
I already ordered from ebay the dual sim adapter, I just need to wait for an Hybrid modem to show up and I am all set with high speed on both networks...
In the case of AT&T and T-Mobile... If you are going to use both networks... The best bet is to use a T-Mobile ROM and use it with AT&T instead of the other way around, because T-Mobile rom has wifi calling... So... The best choice is to use a tmobile rom and use it with tmobile and AT&T... The issue at this point in time is that there is no tmobile rom with wifi calling and multi window... So, that is why I am using the International ROM right now... Because of the multi window feature, but as soon as there is a ROM with wifi calling and multi window... Then that's the best choice...
But my question... Can anyone confirm a successful T-Mobile ROM Flash on the AT&T Note 2? Same for T-Mobile Modem... Any 3.5G with T-Mobile on AT&T Note 2 instead of EDGE...
Hello,
I have the ability to purchase a T-Mobile Note 2 right now. The problem is my carrier is AT&T. I'm not interested in getting LTE to work only HSPA+, but will that even work? To do it, would I have to unlock it, how would I do that? Also once it is unlocked and working with AT&T, would I flash AT&T Note 2 ROMs or the T-Mobile Note 2?
Thanks,

Man, how many of these TMobile on ATT posts do there have to be? Search before posting!
Yes it works, I get 8Mbps down on good days, worst I have seen is 2 Mbps. You will have to unlock your phone, SEARCH for the free unlock. I've seen it posted here, in the N7100 forums and S3 forums. You should be able to find easily. For roms, stick with the TMobile roms on a TMobile phone.
If you don't have plans on going to TMobile or LTE, I would suggest the N7100 international version. More rom development, faster firmware leaks and releases. I also got better battery life out of my N7100. I kind of wish I would not have traded my N7100 for the TMobile Note2. The TMobile version is easier to hack if you want to put it on an ATT dumb phone plan.
ok Obviously the SGH-T999l Tmobile version would work best but Im looking to purchase used on craigslist hopefully tomorrow and found no T999L Tmobile s3's for sale.
I have my eye on the metro GSM version T999N which currently is not unlocked but anyways have read that when unlocked it's the 2nd best to the T999L on Tmobile to get AWS and LTE on tmobile?
I also heard the AT&t version works just as good as the T999L version with LTE and AWS??
Also yes I am in a LTE area as I have a unlocked Nexus 4 with LTE enabled currently with 20-30 mbps down so my area is good.
Please clarify if the At&t S3 unlocked model will work the same as the T999L & T999N versions, something about using the same bands as tmobile does for AWS and LTE,
Just looking for clarification as I have searched for hrs and haven't found a definitive answer
thanks in advance
The at&t model won't work as good as a t999l or t999n because it lacks 1700 aws.. But it might be ok in your area as it's likely a refarmed area with 1900 aws that the at&t model supports
Edit: it'll pick up lte just fine though

Hello everyone i could use some info regarding The Sprint Galaxy S3 [SPH-L710]
So im getting a new phone. i work at walmart and noticed that verizon released the galaxy s3 for prepaid.. I decided i wunt it but theres a problem i have to be able to use it as a Hotspot in order to do that i needa use pda net witch requires Root. I have looked and looked and looked and found out that the Prepaid Galaxy s3 [i535PP] can NOT be rooted, but the non Prepaid version of the galaxy s3 [i535] and the sprint version [L710] of the s3 CAN be rooted... so if i had a non prepaid version of the galaxy s3 i can root it and use it as a hotspot with pda net. i did some research and found that the sprint Galaxy S3 L710 can be flashed to verizon =) so i searched ebay for a sprint galaxy s3 flashed to verizon prepaid and i found 1 listing with a guy that has a Sprint L710 Galaxy S3 and i wunt to buy it and root it.... So here is my question
I researched Sprint Galaxy S3 and read alot about 4g not working... im not 100% sure if this is a issue with the phone itself or sprint the provider but If i buy this phone and its flashed to verizon prepaid will the phone be able to get 4g signal/service
Verizon recently released 4g on prepaid network and id like to use it with this phone.
bottom line is will a Sprint Galaxy S3 Flashed to Verizon Prepaid Be able to access 4g signal??
Thanks in Advance!!!
Nope no 4g service if the phone is flashed to Verizon prepaid. At least Verizon's LTE.
Now you can get 4g but from a sprint provider. Either ting or freedompop I believe. I use freedompop. You only get 500 mb of data but you can pay more if you need more.

No. Verizon's 4g operates on a completely different frequency then Sprint. You will be able to use 3G and 1xRTT and that's it.
aww man that sucks oh well... ok well then i have a different question. What if i were to buy a non prepaid i535 verizon verson, can it be flashed to verizon prepaid and if it can be then can it be rooted??? if so then ill have to research how to flash a i535 the reason i need verizon is because its the only service that works in my area and it bairley works at that..
