[R&D] my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II shows LTE bands

Hey guys i bought the Samsung Galaxy S II from T-Mobile thinking that has HSPA+ bands I, IV and V.. like the box and website says.
Here we use HSPA+ band V (850) so, i inserted my sim card but i only pick 3G bands ( HSDPA )
Checking the bands that the phone has using *#2263# i noticed that i have WCDMA, GSM but also i have LTE bands ...
I never heard that T-Mobile Galaxy S II has LTE bands..
Any ideas why it says LTE instead of HSPA+?

YES, I WAS RIGHT! Samsung was to lazy to change the modem between the skyrocket and the T-Mo SGSII, so if you flashed one of our modems, you'd technically have a functional LTE radio.
Wow, this is crazy!

You'd have to flash a Skyrocket radio, because when I was using a T-Mobile radio, it wouldn't connect to LTE.
But that means, if I'm right, the Skyrocket and T-Mo SGS II have support for 850, 900, 1700, 1900, and 2100 HSPA+.... that's a pentaband phone.
****. YES.

Go ahead and try it folks.

Now I'm intrigued... does the roaming agreement between the 2 carriers say anything about LTE?

Your talking about the post merger agreement right? It just may... and those of us on T-Mobile may be able to hijack Lte once the agreements are in place lol.
Its cool how there are so many similarities between the two phones. They are almost identical which is great for developement.

Yeah, but I don't think AT&T would allow another carrier to roam on a very new LTE network, especially when they don't even have 10% of their own customers on the network.
And it's really cool, because they are the same phone. xD
Although, I don't know why our accelerometer is flipped.

Maybe that is the only stipulation AT&T put out there between both phones?

Hey guys..if it helps I have T-Mobile galaxy s2 and skyrocket from att ..would like to test out and see if this may work. Not to sure if there's any lte support in Connecticut area..but this would be a niffty find...thanks op

Could be, but with the short amount of time between release of the 2 phones, Samsung must have developed 2 phones, same hardware, flipped the accelerometer in one, and branded one AT&T, and the other T-Mobile.
Gotta say, that's a great way to save with development.

maybe you are right. i just bought this phone so, its probably the new version.. however.. here in peru where i am at, we use HSPA+ 850 but i cant pick that signal .. only 3G ( HSDPA ).. so means, TMO SGS II is penta 3G band but only One band HSPA+ ?

No, try this.
Go to the skyrocket forums, find the radio thread, and flash one of those modems.
If I'm right, it should kick on the 850MHz portion of the radio

Even if u have hspa+ it will say 3g on this phone because ur carrier may only be supporting 21mbps and not 42. You probably are getting hspa+ speeds but ur phone just shows it as 3g

Theoretically it should work. Lol, an ode to the original vibrant, sometimes their laziness pays off! I've noticed the sensation has LTE mentioned also. Haven't dug if it but I wonder if it actuall does support LTE ? If I'm not mistaken LTE uses AWS protocol right?

HERCULES vs SKYROCKET -- pls help me decide buy one !! :)

greetings fellas !
i am confused between the t-mobile hercules & at&t skyrocket !
i would like to know which one would be preferable among the two !
i will be using the phone in india so the phone will be gsm unlocked !
what i would consider :
1) custom roms
2) build quality, audio quality, camera quality
also pls mention the differences between both phones !
thanks for all your help !

Don't be confused. Besides a bit of cosmetic difference they are the same phone.

Yes this is true.
Qualcomm's MDM8220 modem doesn't support LTE.
"Qualcomm’s MDM8220 dual-carrier HSPA+ solution, based on the 3GPP Release 8 standard, provides peak downlink data rates of up to 42 megabits per second (Mbps) and 11 Mbps on the uplink, allowing carriers to easily upgrade their existing infrastructure equipment to achieve significantly higher bandwidths. Its dual-carrier technology doubles networks’ bandwidth from 5 MHz to 10 MHz by aggregating two HSPA carriers in parallel.
The MDM9200 and the MDM9600 chipsets are the industry’s first multi-mode 3G/LTE solutions that allow UMTS and CDMA2000® operators to upgrade seamlessly to future LTE services while preserving backward compatibility to their existing 3G networks. MDM9200 supports UMTS, HSPA+ and LTE, while the MDM9600 supports CDMA2000® 1X, EV-DO Rev. B, SV-DO, SV-LTE, UMTS, HSPA+ and LTE. All of the new chipsets support FDD LTE and TDD LTE modes and different carrier bandwidths, and are capable of using orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) and multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology to support peak data rates of up to 100 Mbps on the downlink and 50 Mbps on the uplink."

Wow...I'll be honest with you that was quite a mouthful lol you kind of lost me so I read it twice and I understand, but pretty much the Herc has the MDM8220? So thats a no on the LTE if when T Mo gets LTE like they plan on, we wont be getting true LTE. Correct me if Im wrong lol, Im just a noob trying to learn.

You're correct, herc dies not have lte, SR does, but i believe SR lte will only work on their bands so even when TMobile gets lte 3 years from now, it won't work, maybe.

[Q] LTE in the near future. Bad?

Will the switch to LTE in 2013 (I'm assuming to facilitate the MetroPCS merge) impact us Galaxy SIII users negatively? Does our device support an LTE functionality?
Also, if there is to be a switch in networks, would I be able to "switch off" LTE --to the lesser 3G-- to preserve date usage?

It won't impact us negatively. Heck it could even help us as it would lessen traffic on the hspa + bands as more people switch to LTE. And no our devices cannot use LTE.

I'm probably going to have to agree with you, unfortunately. However, T-Mobile recently sent a pamphlet to me with a provided "FAQ" section, claiming that all of their devices will be able to support the LTE. I just didn't believe it, hence the thread's conception. It wouldn't surprise me if I had missed the fine-print-three-font saying "*this excludes the Galaxy SIII". It's still a glimmer of hope, though.
I'll continue researching the matter.

All of their future devices maybe. As of now, the only phone T-Mo has that is LTE capable is the Note 2.
As stated, T-Mo will still support HSPA+ as well as they do now. Gives T-Mo the edge over AT&T from how I see it.

Our devices may be able to support lte depending on the frequency T-Mobile uses for it.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Here's a pic to kind of show what the network will look like after refarming and LTE deployment is complete. Our S3s or any other phone that can use the 1900 band shouldn't take any performance hit. In fact, as newer devices are released with LTE support (and after deployment) it will reduce the number of hspa+ devices, leaving even more bandwidth available for hspa use.
It has been confirmed and questioned a number of times, but the T999 radio is not capable of using LTE. Besides, LTE is still far enough off that most of us probably won't see it in our areas till after we've upgraded to a newer phone.
But in the meantime if your areas been upgraded to hspa+42, you may already see speeds that rival current LTE offerings by competitors.

[Q] Can I use another 4G LTE provider?

Can I use another 4G LTE provider on the Galaxy Note II from Sprint?
I have Boost Mobile and I had a Galaxy S2 with Clear.com 4G WiMax. I now can only get 3G, and as you ALL know the 3G speed has lowered quite a bit. (200~400k vs 700~900k 3 years ago)
Another alternative I guess would be to get a Hotspot, but who wants to carry around a phone AND a hotspot when you can have them both on the phone?

I believe you can use this device on any network that is actually using Sprint towers, like MetroPCS (?) or Boost?
There are threads somewhere for instructions on flashing this.
(i'm also talking out my ass, because I have only noticed these threads in passing, never actually researched this. But I bet if you Searched a bit, you'd find the info.)

I give facts and argument you insult sprint... well of course you are right. who has ever heard of the "can suck it" argument ever loosing. that's how we explained to Hitler and the Japanese emperor that he had to surrender in WW2 "Mr Hitler can suck it" -pres trueman, "since I can suck it I have ordered my forces to surrender and suggested to the Japanese to do the same"-hitler (translated to English)
if you can't give facts to support your claim you can go head and get an iPhone on a gsm network since you are using the same arguments apple uses to ensnare its sheep -i mean- customers
either that or you are an at&t rep or fanboy trying to weakarm customers away from sprint. why you aren't targeting your biggest competitor Verizon is beyond me but take that stuff to T-Mobile customers they'll eat that up like they eat their "unlimited" throttled data
one bad experience in one city with one small period of data speed downturn does not a bad carrier make
oh and mods don't blame chuko (or me) for starting arguments. arguments are healthy and help shape perception
