Sorry if this is a stupid question, but will my T-Mobile Galaxy SII T-989 work on the AT&T network with full service 4G if I unlock my T-989? Thinking about switching providers and wanted to know if my phone will work.
yeah thats what i heard..i dont know about 4g but i think it wil go ful speed 3g for data.. so yeah.

3G yes. 4G as in HSPDA yes, 4G as in LTE no
Actually the T-Mobile GS2 has LTE radio in it. At least anytime you plug it in to the computer it registers as an LTE composite device.

I wondered about 4G LTE. I was in a service setting menu and there was an option to change the band to LTE. Not sure if the phone has the capability but the option in the menu is there.

the T989 (hercules) DOES have LTE bands/radio capabilities. tmous is planning on launching their LTE network...soonish (knowing tmo, more like eventually)

in theory...yes, I don't know att's LTE band preferences, but we have the hardware for LTE.

I think you can find it for cheaper than that if you put more search effort in.
You don't need to gave it GSM unlocked to root.. u can root it either way.

Has anybody been able to get their T-Mobile S3 working on SIMPLE MOBILE's network (3g/4g)? I've rooted my phone, and I can't access it (I can't even delete the T-Mobile APN Setting).
Let me know, I would greatly appreciate the help, and I'm sure other users would benefit from this information also. Thanks.
You need to setup a new apn. Go to simple mobiles web site they have instructions to get you up and running.

questions about S3
hi guys
I am a newbie here and I am loving S3 so far and I would like to get simple mobile service with it.
I have a few questions hope you guys can please help me out:
1. on simple mobile web, they sell S3 but says it's not approval and not support 3G, but I saw someone replied it would work 3g/4g with simple mobile service, can you please let me know so i should get $50/month plan instead of $40/month plan or either way is fine?
2, do I have to get a unlocked S3 in order to work with simple mobile service? or I can just buy it from costco or ebay and just insert a simcard i bought from ebay with simple mobile as well? or it has to be unlocked S3 & special sim card?
hope you guys can help me with these, thank you so much

It will work with 3g or 4g. If u get the 40 dollar plan you will get thr 3g speed. If u get the 40 dollar plan u will get the 4g speed. Everything is listed in black and white on simple site. Any tmobile phone will work with simple mobile without unlocking. Simple Mobile is mvno of Tmobile.

I'm buying an unlocked T-mobile Galaxy s3 from a really nice guy. I'm on AT&T, and would like to A) confirm it will work on HSPA+, and B) I would like to know how to go about setting it up on the Medianet plan.

Someone may correct me but I don't think HSPA+ will work on ATT. They use different frequencies. If you had the international SGS3, HSPA+ would work on ATT.
OK thank you, I'll pass on the GS3, I'll just keep my iphone
It works. T-Mobile s3 has the frequencies needed. My s3 is T-Mobile unlocked and using it with at&t.

+1. The T999 supports 850/1700/1900/2100 for HSPA+. Therefore it will work on Atts H+. I use both T-Mobile and straight talk on my t999.

I assume that is something to do with at&t if so, you would have a better chance asking there.
I was doing some research and saw that Tmobile is releasing an lte enabled s3 and I was wondering if it would be able to be used on the $30 4g plan. I was also wondering if that phone would still be capable of using hspa+ if it has an LTE radio. If any of you guys could help I would really appreciate it. Thanks
The T999L will be backwards compatible from LTE to HSDPA+. TMO is going to call it daul 4G.. So 4G on HSDPA+ and 4G LTE..
Dont know about the rate plans.
Thanks

No, it permanently unlocks those bands, just like carrier unlocking a phone. Once it's done its done.

No. The T-Mobile version, T-889, is a dual cell phone capable of supporting 42.2 Mbps data transfer. The AT&T version, i-317, is not and is limited to 21.1 Mbps. However the i-317 is capable of using more than one LTE band whereas the T-889 is limited to just one.

No, you can flash other carriers roms. The thing is you have to make damn sure what you're flashing isn't gonna brick you. From a software standpoint all Note 2's are the same, for the most part. You have to be careful not to flash another carriers modem or you'll have no signal. If that happens just flash an AT&T modem and you're good. The kernel is pretty much the same. There might be some minor differences but nothing to worry about. Just read read read. All the info is in the OP, and if it's not just ask in that thread.
