The reason I ask is because its cdma and GSM. Been searching around and seems that it can be unlocked with gevey but no sure truth.

i used to work with jailbraking iphone!!
the new iphone 4s its a worldwide phone!!
it have all the chips on the phone the CDMA and the GSM with only ATT VERIZON AND SPRINT frequencies
so yes you can unlock the iphone 4s with sam method and make it work with tmobile
remember you will only get edge not 3g/4g

not all the phones from CDMA are only CDMA the Razer from verizon can work on tmobile, the motorola phanton from sprint works on tmobile etc etc

Sam method no longer works, so the unlock isn't possible anymore
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA

Yes you can its cdma and GSM as long as it is on firmware 5.0.1 and not 5.1, you can jailbreak it and use the Sam unlock tool. But I wouldn't reccomend doing that because it can only use edge.. and well T-Mobile edge is terribly sloooooooooooooooooooooooooow. Like it take 4 minutes to locate you on google navigation.

Don't do it. You will only get edge data (2g) and the iPhone does not compare at all the the galaxy s ii. (Unless you like really simple boring phones) the only thing the 4s has on the galaxy s2 is more apps, but android is catching up. I've had an iPhone on T-Mobile and the data speeds are unbearable.

So.. Why do you care if it's unlockable if you are going to sell it?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

because i used to get double the money if the phone was jailbroken or unlock..
if you wanna get the note just trade your s2 with a note some people just dont like the big screen after they got it and the only phone similar is the s2 plus it is confirm that the tmobile s2 works on att 4g!
so no pro there

this is a little late but... don't buy any sprint phones since you're not even going to activate it on sprint right away. They can report it lost and have it blocked to be used on sprint.
There is no true way to unlock the sprint phone. You can make it a world phone and have the gsm unlocked for outside the US, but not for the US gsm carriers. the SAM method basically just spoofs your t-mobile sim and that sim only. So if you would to use another sim, it will not work unless using the SAM method again. I believe the SAM method portal has been patched recently so it is down for the moment.
the value for the sprint iphones are below our phone, so I don't see why you don't just sell the white t989.

Sprint Galaxy Nexus Network type?

Has anyone been noticing any strange network types on your toro+ I usually get EVDO REV A:8 but lately it has been jumping between EVDO REV A:6, EVDO REV 0:5, and 1xRTT:7 never seen all these different types before I just noticed it when I started using Jelly Bean. Speeds are slower also unless I'm by the Sprint store then I would see like 2mb/s but anywhere else more like .5

I think its just sprint messing around with their antennas.
If you don't think so maybe nandroid backup and wipe and reflash jelly bean see if it persists.
Or try a different kernel?

Since I see that you are seeing the same things I think it might be because its an LTE phone because my Photon doesn't display those networks I see I have data upgrades, and voice upgrades planned and some they say have been completed maybe it could be Network Vision. Normally if I had no bars call would not go thru neither would text but now it seems they will with no bars. Speed is slower since I'm on the outskirts of where towers are but better connectivity I can't explain it

My experience with sprint is that they have really screwy connectivity. I love their phones.. except the 4s which I hated and was useless. And I love their 'unlimited' data. But right now their going through a tough time. And that's cause I've been paying for 4g for almost two years and I have not gotten a single drop of wimax when I had the epic and the epic touch. Nor a drop of lte now that I have a toroplus.

Yea I know what you mean I'm in the same boat I'm looking for a gsm phone right now to leave sprint I wanna stick it out but the promise of 4g after 2 years is a bit much to handle seeing how I never got it now I just wanna go prepaid

Well I hear an unlocked nexus is cheap
But also my step dad bought a moto renegade and was promised push to talk... never happened
He bought an evo 3d... now its discontinued...
He's also been paying for phantom 4g.. he's pissed haha he's gonna see if he can "talk" with sprint to see if he can get a GS3...
I think that's pretty hilarious

Is there a setting to get the choice between hold or end the active call?

This is weird. All Android and non-Android phone had the choice to hold or end the active call while receiving another call. Here with the Nexus, I only get to answer the new call and the other one is automatically put to hold. Is there a way to change that? It's really annoying. Thanks!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Is yours CDMA? My understanding with Sprint you can't. I had ATT before and I could but it was a GSM phone. Just like CDMA phones can't use 3g data and talk at the same time but GSM can. I called customer care and they are useless, could not even help at all or at least tell me its due to type of phone (CDMA).

that has nothing to do with what he is talking about
he's talking about being on a call, another call coming in

If what you mean is that you have an incoming call, answer that call, then merge back into the original call, then you cannot do that on CDMA.
On GSM, you can.

Yes it does and I understood what he meant. CDMA is setup different than GSM. I have CDMA now and wish I still had GSM.

It was actually easy with other phones, one a new call is coming and your answer it, a window pop up asking you to hold or end the active call

Sent from my SGH-T999

Just like everyone else, ive been wrong before, and it would be awesome if I am this time. I just dont think it does a lot of good to speculate either way when the rollout doesnt even start till next year and most of us wont see it till a year after that
It just seems to serve to confuse people and get their hopes up when it probably wont even work with this phone.
Also, a number of people have unlocked the T999 for use on Sprint and Verizon and are not able to get LTE. Just sayin. Im leaving it at that though.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

the nice thing about MSM8960 SOC board is that the radios can be programmed to virtually any current GSM, HSPA or LTE frequency in use in the United States today. the board has a RAT lock on it and not sure if it can be unlocked but all GS3's support any of the three frequency's. now if any one knows how to unlock and program them thats another story.. and just cause the software has a setting doesnt mean tmobile put it in there. and with the gs4 launching in feb-mar im not to sure they would even update the gs3. every one wants lte and if you have to buy a new phone to get it then thats how they make money.

Well I have talk to several people from samsung and tmobile and they said that the s3 is capable of the LTE, but you can't use them till the end of this year and beginning of 2013 .I hope this is true, if you guys don't believed me ask Samsung or T-Mobile and I try 5 times different people and they all told me the same ....

This is probably because they use the same build for all 4 models and it's easier to leave it in since 3 carriers carry it?
But anyways the s2 Hercules also had that option, but the hardware didn't allow it.

I dont' think they would pull out the LTE radio from thew chip just for T-mobile so I'm sure it's there BUT, T-mobile as being plain greedy of all companies across world has to release their Long Term Evolution Network on band NOT supported by S3 they will make more money on new phones possible Galaxy S3 Rocket or whatever

Well thats your opinion. THere is no reason to post a thread about an opinion with zero information backing it up. It is quite rude of you actually. DocHoliday has been telling everyone that there is no possible way for our phone to support LTE. And why does he say this? Well because thats his opinion, but he has it backed by very simple to understand hardware specs. LTE is a total separate radio then the standard GSM that our device has. So unless they release a new S3 for T-Mobile, then the S3 will never see LTE. There is no amount of software hacking that will put a hardware component into a device. And every T-Mobile person i have asked confirmed the S3 will NOT support LTE. SO EVERYONE just leave it already.
What really annoys me is how you decided you just had to create a whole separate thread about this which has been discussed hundreds of times. you have an opinion great, post in a thread that already exists.

[Q] Verizon lte 4g Samsung Nexus sch-i515

Hi guys new to the forums i did alot of searching and researching but just cant figure out a solution. I purchased this phone as a replacement to use in canada on the bell mobility network when i first recieved the phone i went to bell and tested with there sim card and the phone would not connect, so after being dissapointed i went home and downloaded and installed the Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.1 and unlocked and rooted the phone hopping this was my solution after this i headed back to the bell store and tested again still no luck I am hopping someone has any ideas for me i really would like to get this phone working
thanks

From what I understand, Bell is a GSM network correct? Well, Verizon is a CDMA carrier. The SIM card in our i515 is only for LTE. That's it. It won't work on Bell, I'm pretty sure you need an unlocked GSM Nexus for that. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Bell Canada is not a CDMA carrier, you bought the wrong model, research first next time.

id like to know where you found that? if its from bell's website, you need to ask them how to flash a CDMA phone to their network.
if its not from their website, uh yeah... they're pretty much GSM only from what i know of them
EDIT: you found that information not from their website. here's the info you shouldve read: http://support.bell.ca/Mobility/Net..._phone_or_smartphone_work_on_the_Bell_network

oh well im guess im pooched its the internal electronics that are not compatible i was hoping the unlocking and rooting would do the trick

No... The CDMA Nexus will only work on Verizon. I believe some of the very small carriers will work but don't depend on it. I think Rodgers may have a chance, but VZW is very tight about its phones

You could probably manually program it with the tools autoprime posted here in general for 3G, Talk, and Text but you'll never get LTE on it.

Its all about what frequencies the phones radio has. My old incredible 2 had a different radio and could go to cricket, yet my nexus can't get to any other because of the fact that there's more than one CDMA frequency.
