Samsung SII - Is 4G same as LTE? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hello,
I have Samsung Galaxy S II 4G for T-Mobile and I want to get it unlocked since I am travelling to India. I did check the list at http://unlockliberty.com for their unlock code. I was not able to find Samsung Galaxy S II 4G in that list. Can I select Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE and get the same unlock code? In case Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE is not correct, then which phone in that list can I select which is similar to Samsung Galaxy S II 4G for T-Mobile for unlocking?
Thanks so much.

SGSII Hercules (T989) is the TMobile/Telus version. They both have hspa+ radios which is not really 4G.

No they are not the same. LTE is a completely different type of hardware/software used to produce a signal from the towers. Best bet is to call Samsung or Tmobile (if you still use them) to produce the code for you. I used to work in tech support for T Mobile and the unlock code only takes about 24 hours to get to you. At least it never took any longer then that when I was working there. Good luck to you thought

[Q] Looking to purchase a Note II and had some questions

((( I moved this post from General to Q&A ))
I'm looking a purchasing a Samsung Note II that will be used on AT&T network. Since my upgrade is a year away, I have a Skyrocket that's only a year old, this phone will be a full price for me. I'm trying to find out some specific questions on the different Note II phone types, euro vs North America and what preloaded software differences are between them.
* the Note II that I purchase MUST have 4G LTE (AT&T FINALLY turned on 4G LTE in North East OKLA about 4 weeks ago! ..LOVEING IT).
* 10 minutes after I purchase the phone and verifying that everything is in working order it gets rooted.
I can purchase the phone from AT&T for full retail for 649. Best Buy said they would match that price (we'll see if they really do). When at Best Buy I asked about the preloaded software on the Note II (sense they do not have a working model on the floor) I was told in a blunt tone that it was an AT&T phone so it would work on AT&T's network.
Question---
1. Is the AT&T Note II phone that Best Buy sells have the same preloaded junk that comes on the one at the AT&T store?
2. Is the AT&T Note II phone that Best Buy sells been stripped of some of the Note II futures like the one at the AT&T store?
-- I read on an Amazon review the following http://www.amazon.com/review/R2Q2WM4I4VO8J7/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt#R2Q2WM4I4VO8J7
Be aware that the AT&T version of the Galaxy Note II is currently missing various standard functionality that Samsung is marketing and the other major carriers provide- missing functionality include:
~Multiview
~Group Shot Camera mode - with the ability to change faces
~Mobile data toggle
~Blocking mode toggle
~Screen Recorder
Since I am trying to get the most bang for my buck (a lot of bucks) which Note II phone that will work on AT&T that has 4G LTE should I be looking at?
(note- I suffered waiting on an ICS update from AT&T, so not having to depended on AT&T for my Android updates is a big plus)
Any advise or pointers is appreciated
Thanks
1.yes
2.yes
I will never buy a phone with a att stamp on it.

non carrier branded
So if I go with an unlocked phone- non carrier branded, which model number should I get that will work on AT&T and have LTE?
I saw this on another review-
Update: LTE! There are many people commenting about this. Apparently there's a version of the international Note 2 (not the N7100) that sports LTE, the model number is N7105 and it comes with "LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 2100" (Sources: GSM Arena, Engadget and XDA forums). If you have a N7100 the LTE radio is simply not there. However this is not guarantee that the N7105 will work with AT&T's or Tmo's LTE, it all depends if those frequencies are compilant with those carriers' respective LTE signals. As LTE network compatibility can be a deal breaker for many people within the US, I suggest you to research very well before buying it. If someone can squeeze any info out of AT&T or Tmo, please comment. To shed more light on this issue, you can Google the xda thread 1917383. (Geez, all this makes me feel kinda happy I don't have to worry about LTE compatibility yet).
The only way to get lte with a note on att is with their model. If you can live with out lte the get N7100.in San Diego I get around 8mb down and around 2 up.

If you get the N7105, it will have LTE, but in the wrong bands for AT&T.
GT-N7105 (International Note 2): 800/1800/2600
SGH-i317 (AT&T Note 2): 700/850/AWS/1900
See how those don't line up?
I'd just get the 7100. You'll get 21mbps with that on AT&T with HSPA+ and you won't have any carrier BS. HSPA+ is pretty dang quick.
Might want to check this site too http://www.dailysteals.com/ got a good deal on note 2's today.
I am running the 7100 on AT&T in Phoenix. The lack of LTE does not bug me too often as the HSPA+ is good enough for my needs.
However, the OP stated that they would be rooting the phone. As such a clean bloat-free ROM for the AT&T phone would work on LTE. I have not been in the AT&T forums, but I assume there are bloat-free ROMs with all the missing features turned on.

Yes I plan on rooting the phone and installing a clean bloat free ROM. (rant) I just wanted to buy a phone with all the futures the EU version has and without the silly branding/bloat that carriers do, all they do is muck up the phone.

Sprint Galaxy S3 Flashed To Verizon Prepaid. Is 4G Capable?

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..

Will AT&T work on sprint galaxy s6...

Title says it all... I was wondering if its possible to get it to work
Unfortunately, no, it will not. AT&T is a GSM based carrier and Sprint is a CDMA carrier. The two technologies are not compatiable at all.
Source: Recently asked the people at the AT&T store this very question.
Yes AT&T will work up to HSDPA on the sprint galaxy s6 as only the LTE bands are different, do a search for unlocking sprint Galaxy S6 by I one or give me a DM.
Yes it does work if its unlocked domestically

Can a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (N900T) work with Sprint after unlocking?

Hello,
I recently joined Sprint's network. I am aware that their phones are CDMA-based, unlike T-Mobile's and ATT's, which are GSM-based.
My mother has a Note 3 in good condition that she is getting rid of, and I'd like to keep it; but it's a T-Mobile model, and have been trying to find info. about whether or not the phone can be made to work in Sprint's network after unlocking it.
Any information is greatly appreciated.
No, 2 different types of radios. work with any GSM based carrier like T Mobile AT&T etc but not sprint
should work in 2020 as sprint is now owned by tmobile
