I see it listed, on top, but don't see an actual forum... or are we just lumped together in here...??
Thanks.
Its combined with T-Mobile and there's no difference between ours and wind or mobilicity. But don't flash any T-Mobile radios those somehow don't work well with ours

Looks like AT&T's LTE. But can an AT&T Note 2 work on T-Mobile's 42mbps data connection? T-Mobile doesn't have LTE, yet.

In other words you're wondering if it's like the skyrocket, which the radio supported LTE but also had dual channel HSPA (21x2, hence your 42Mbps). All you had to do was switch modems...
Would be interesting to actually know... On way to a wake, don't feel like looking it up now...

So as the title states I need some help. I'm trying to get a phone and its an unlocked at&t s3 and I'm trying to figure out if it will work well on our T-Mobile carrier. Will I get 4g can I get SMS? Any help?
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app
Yes, I'm using one right now and I get "4g" and 4g LTE as well.. "4g" might not have as good coverage depending on your area because it will use the 1900 frequency T-Mobile has recently started to roll out instead of the 1700 that T-Mobile mainly has for 3g/hspa.. But LTE will work just fine, and it is fast! heck you will even get WiFi calling as long as you flash a T-Mobile based ROM

Can't you just flash a T-Mobile baseband? And also if it'd and at&t phone how can you flash a T-Mobile s3 ROM?
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app
No do NOT flash a T-Mobile baseband.. Only stick with at&t basebands or bootloaders.. The only thing you can safely flash is Roms and kernels.. You can flash roms through recovery and most should work just fine.. And BTW there actually is a mod on the at&t thread to enable the 1700 aws, but the mod wipes after a reboot and you must do it every time you reboot.. It doesn't sound that bad, so you might want to try it out if you end up getting it and have bad or no 3g/h with 1900 in your area

Yes as he said you can flash roms and kernels nothing else.
And dont be confused and think a rom is equivalent to firmware. Its not.

Well I know that I was just a little confused as to the way he worded it. So I've tried reading over their some but so far all I've come up with are old threads where people were trying to get 3g to work. Supposedly its permanent any idea how I can tell what frequency my location runs on
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app
I'm pretty sure there is. I think it may be a dialer code that you can use to go in and test to find out. Cant remember for sure, but thought I'd mention it in case it helps someone else answer or helps your search.
If you aren't able to find anything ill try to remember to look later tonight.

Tmobiles hspa+42 and lte will be on the 1700 and 1900 bands. Not aware of tmob using 2100.

But doesn't the article say that they're moving 3g to 1900 and then 1700 will be for HSDPA+ and 2100 will be for lte

My bad, you were right. I had things a bit mixed up I guess!
Sorry for the confusion.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Though, they will only be able to offer hspa+42 on the aws spectrum I believe. And it'll only account for a small portion in the end.

So basically they're expecting most phones to support lte. Does the s3 from at&t support was?

these are the two threads i was able to find about it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2344627
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771021
the first one is the newest method and the one that won't stick after reboots.. the second one will downgrade the phone to ics, and people are saying that flashing a t999 recovery and then a tmo jb rom will still keep 1700 enabled but i haven't tried any of them
Well you guys thanks for the help. Now I just have to actually find a new phone

Hey guys I'm back with another question about that thread you posted. For one (I've been reading about it but for now am totally co fused) I will be able to flash any of the ROMs by is right so if I do the second method I can still flash 4.2.2?

I'm getting LTE using TMO on AT&T no problems. And I didn't perform any lte hacks. Or AWS mod. Mine just quirks...:thumbup:
Pending I did do the unlock so it could quirk on AT&T network...

I purchased my phone unlocked. Presumably, with the method described in another thread. I performed the AWS Mod to get LTE on my SGH-I317 with T-Mobile.

You only need the aws mod to enable HSDPA+ on the 1700mhz band. LTE works out of the box.

Aren't they downsizing the AWS 3G? I didn't even bother doing the mod when I used an ATT Note 2 on T-Mo.

You are correct they are upgrading 1900mhz for their HSDPA+. In some areas that has not been completed yet though. If you do any traveling the mod would be helpful.
