anyone get data working on verizon??

ive been able to get data with boost and cricket with the Epic and talk and text to work with verzon anybody have any luck at all i have cdma workshop paid version so it shouldnt be to hard...i thought

Would be nice. Sprint data speeds are getting worse everyday (at least in my area) . When I talked to them they said it was not their networks fault but my phones fault. Must be everyone else I know has a bad phone to then. I might have to drop Sprint soon. I don't want to but 40kbs down and 8 up is ridiculous. My friends who have US Cellular for abot same price are getting approximately 200 down and 80 up! When I started Sprint I would get around 150 down and 70 up on this phone

best speed ive got from this epic is about 250k down and 120k up using eh17 modem and supposely a corporate sprint 21081 has only happened once in my house where i do most of my test at. most of the time its less then 100k :-( i jus came across another epic which im going to make vzw data work on it its already matches the vzw doner phone talk txt work. i jus retired my htc titan a few months ago getting 300k easy in this same area. i had 2 of them one from verizon one from sprint both working on vzw with all features. 2 diff accounts. on the epic ive noticed the roaming signal will not leave me alone even with a modified sprint prl for verizon which fixed it on my mogul/titan. i think my evdo keys are correct. full copy. data works on doner phone. i believe the dmu 10.key is not needed since they were already generated might try and play around with the um properties in qpst tomorrow
those speeds are from my boost mobile account

I have the paid version of the newest cdma workshop and pulled the info from my doner. its a LG VX10000S.
update: ive been doing some research at work today and i believe now its because of the roaming triangle i was getting which was not allowing evdo to connect i hear only certain modified sprint prls designed for verizon towers will get rid of the Triangle. the one i had used before with my mogul is not one of them anymore,..

Well guys to bring an old post back to life....
An Epic 4G with full unlimited data working on verizon prepaid is the ish.....

I also have the epic with verizon all the unlimited data. Have you gotton any other phones to work also?

The NV items could be in different locations on newer phones. There are other ways to read and write the AAA password.

Unlocking T-Mobile for AT&T service

hi everyone:
I have been looking via numerous thread online on many Android forums especially here and have been unsuccessful for the past 2 days now. So I figured I would need to create a thread and finally give in and ask for some help. I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy 3 phone and I need to unlock it so that it will work on my AT&T service. Now i understand about rooting the phone and being able to play with themes etc, but its not that great if I can't use the phone itself.
Now without coming up with some kind of answer I must have watched about 40 youtube video's hoping to find out some kind of information. Mostly what I got out of it was numerous website that offer unlocking for phones at a certain price.
unlockcodesource(.)com
unlock2go(.)com
mobileunlockcodes(.)co.uk
Has anyone ever used any of these website or can someone give me some good advise on how I can get this phone unlocked please/
~Aqua

I think the toolkit stickied in the development forum has an option to SIM unlock the GS3. I have not tried this, and do not know if it works, but if the option is there, you might want to give it a shot.

If you're on contract with t mobile and your account is in good standing with them. Call them tell them you're going over seas and need to unlock your phone so you can use it. They will send you unlock code ... then pop in an att sim card and it will prompt you to enter the unlock code t Mobil gave you. Done

OK thank you. I followed your instructions and they said it would take up to maybe 24 hrs for the phone to be unlocked. If it isn't unlocked than she said to call back with the conformation number she gave me. If that doesn't work than they would have to give Samsung my info and could take up to 14 days. She said when you buy phones almost all stands and corp stores have already unlocked phones.
she also said it would be auto unlocked for good. Can they lock the phone back up once it is be unlocked?

edited: Once I have it unlocked ( if all goes good ) do i use the same APN settings that I needed to put into the phone in order for my phone to work on the AT&T network as I did with my S2 that I got unlocked ?

Don't they use different frequencies for HSPA+
You would be relegated to edge speeds, correct me if I'm wrong

The T-Mobile S3 has the 850/1900 3G bands so it will work on AT&T's 3G network. It will not get LTE though.
You can unlock either by paying for a code from the various resellers online or requesting an unlock code from T-Mobile if you have an account in good standing with them. If you can't get the code from T-Mobile I suggest searching 'T999 unlock' on eBay and you'll find some good options.

The tmobile galaxy s3 will work on the ATnT HSPA+21 frequency. Same frequency the International version runs on for that network.

Edge network and 3/4G Question
I found an excellent place so far on eBay for buying unlock codes. they have almost 3800 sells with a 99% positive feedback. Great customer service. The guy answered numerous questions of mine and made sure i did everything correctly. Payment was $24.95 US, so hopefullly everything will go good.
He was talking about being on something called an " Edge " network which is a little slower, but he said you won't notice a difference between your unlocked S2 and the unlocked S3 now. Right now my S2 says I have 3G service when I use it. I dont understand how i had a inspire4G, what is the 4G for if AT&T only gives you 3G service? And where I am in United States I should have 4G service no matter what. I'm confused on that.,

Edge is 2G speeds, which are substantially slower than 3G speeds. IMHO, 3G speeds are livable, 2G/Edge is not.
Different phones have different radios which work on different frequencies. Some phones are not compatible with other services at all, and some will work on other carriers but often not at optimal speeds.

So than why would someone suggest that I would get "edge" instead of what i have now? I'm getting 3G now with my T-Mobile S2 unlocked on AT&T, but now I'm going to have an unlocked S3, why wouldn't it be the same?

Because the radios in the devices are different.

Because he/she doesn't know what he/she is talking about. You will be fine with a T-Mobile S3 on AT&T.

That's what I said earlier in not so many words.
Voice willl work fine you will not see HSPA+ speeds on At&t with a T-Mobile Galaxy SIII.
If the T-Mobile SIII has the hardware capability to support the At&t HSPA+ bands you would need modified radio software to unlock this ability.
I believe this was done on the Galaxy Note to tun on T-Mobile HSPA+ network before it was officially launched on T-Mobile.
kmdub I believe your the one that's wrong.

I unlocked my t999 and am using an att straight talk sim getting HSPA speeds. Going to switch back to tmobile prepay because it is way faster than att HSPA with better latency. Although coverage may be lacking, i may just switch to an att ST sim.
To answer your question, a Tmobile S3 will work on ATT HSPA+ network with the HSPA+ Speeds of up to 6-7mbps in NYC area. The average I've been getting is around 2-3.5 mbps. With the tmobile prepay sim I have, it's usually around 2-18mbps down in NYC area.
The T-mobile S3 will not work on the ATT LTE network because it lacks that radio (or so they say for now); there have been other threads suspecting it's just a matter of flashing the right radio to "turn on" the ATT LTE radio. However, if all you want is HSPA+ speeds, rest assured it will work fine.
The ATT S3 is lacking the AWS bands for TMobile so it will not get the HSPA+ on Tmobile.
Best regards.

radio issue
First off, I would like to thank everyone who has been helping me along with my issues with my phone. I appreciate it a lot and I'm picking up more knowledge more and more everyday from you guys and reading heavily on the forums.
if the hardware in the phone doesn't support HSPA+ 1) will i have to root the phone and 2) change the radio? And 3 ) if I change the radio does that mean I would need to install a custom ROM i order for it to work properly?
Also, from one of the post they said "The T-Mobile S3 has the 850/1900 3G bands " - of that is true will than I should be able to have the 3G speeds correct?
I really hope I am not making some people angry, I'm new to this and trying my hardest to understand everything so I don't make mistakes. Please bare with me. Again, thank you so much everyone who has contributed so far. I still have a lot to learn. The reason why is because I just don't want it to work ( I do, want it to work ) but I want to understand why everything is working they way it is and I've over the past almost month have been picking up a lot of knowledge. Can't wait to hear from you guys

kmdub I believe your the one that's wrong.

No, actually, you are wrong. The T-Mobile S3 does not need any modification to work properly on AT&T's HSPA network. Seems you are confusing something else with frequency. Quit spreading bad information.
OP: Don't worry about it. Some are making this way more complicated than it needs to be. As said before, if you have the T999, you will be fine on AT&T's HSPA network without any modifications (other than an account...lol). Just get the phone SIM-unlocked, pop in the right SIM, you are good to go. Seriously, it is that easy.

Well there it is, I stand corrected!
I had no idea the T-Mobile SIII supports At&t HSPA+ bands.
Is the same true to all T-Mobile HSPA+ phones?

Sorry for any issues, just learning
Hi everyone,
thanks so much for the info. Will the S2 I needed to put in certain APN settings inorder to receive MMS ( picture ) via texts. Do i use the same settings for the Samsung Galaxy 3?

[Q] Anyone using T-Mobile on Captivate Glide?

Hey I was wondering if anyone has their Glide on T-Mobile's USA network and get 4G HSPA+ signal? If so could you put a speed test screenshot or tell me what the average speed you all get. Thinking about switching from AT&T. Thanks!!

I would imagine the only ones to be able to use H+ on Tmo would be the ones living in areas where Tmo has updated with the 1900 MHz band. But I may be wrong.

According to Wikipedia so I may be wrong, but the only frequency that I see missing on the glide is the 1700 MHz band and that contains the 4G T-Mobile has HSPA+ but I see videos on YouTube of people getting HSPA+ signal on their glides at nice speeds.
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app

Tmo usually uses 1700 for H+, but they've rolled out 1900 in many markets, so the at&t phones, such as the Glide, may have H+ access in those markets. You can prolly google to find the markets where they currently provide 1900 MHz H+.

I've been bugging my girl to let me use her sim in my phone and she hides her phone like I'll steal it and break it lol.. she knows I mod and she fears change lol. Sorry bro I wanna try it to see if I wanna order a prepaid national unlimited or not.. its cheaper than my current provider and they gimme 4g where this provider gives me 2g just because I don't wanna contract.. lame asses anyhow.

I tried a T-Mobile SIM for a few days in Los Angeles in a Captivate Glide in September, 2012 and only got 2G Edge speeds of 100k or less...there are some markets where T-Mobile is deploying 1900mhz which works with the Glide but they are hit and miss at best. I'm now using a NET10 SIM on AT&T's network and getting up to 11Mbps...Straight Talk offers the same network/deal. My total monthly cost is around $46 with 2GB of data, which works for my purposes, at least. I was able to set up a T-Mobile SIM for a test for very little $$$ using one of their Small Business accounts...my activation and SIM fees were waived and the data was pro-rated by the day, which gave me a chance to do a real world test.

Hmmm good point. I was thinking of going to straight talk but the prepaid T Mobile plans are cheaper

I am using TMobile's $30 100 Min / 5GB of 4G speed service and GVoice. I was having trouble with the official update software and have been hunting for a reliable replacement but am overall happy with the combination.

I heard you could use Google voice for free and you could port your current phone number right?

The full port which you are talking about has a porting charge of like $20 or 30 bucks. Otherwise you can try it out for free when you just install the app. I like it but it is creating another hoop to jump through with the custom ROMs etc. I am still hunting for a slimmed down ROM for a daily driver.

Google Voice isn't cellphone service. You need to have service through a carrier to use it for calls.

Yes! Thanks for pointing that out. They haven't yet done a MVNO style network or anything like that yet. Word on the street is that Facebook is going to roll out something similar to GVoice fairly soon.

I never said it was. I'm thinking since 100 minutes isn't enough for some but 5GB is plenty in terms of voice calling and doing everything else for streaming

I know this has been asked a million times, but I'm hoping to get a concrete and up to date answer by asking again: Is there a way to get/will there be a way to get 3G with this phone on T-Mobile? I've seen a lot of people say that T-Mobile is working on something that will make it possible, are they still working on that? My HTC G2 got water spilled on it a while back and I suspect the antenna or whatever inside it got damaged, because my signal has been really weak, and I'm looking for another good Android qwerty phone in case I have to replace it.

They are still rolling it as far I have heard, but they don't really announce the details. Google Tmobile 1900 Mhz and ya might find out something.

I'm about to root and install a custom rom so hopefully the results are consistent

Anybody have further feedback to provide? I have an unlocked Captivate Glide that I have been using overseas, but am moving back to the States this month to Fayetteville, NC; deciding whether to keep using the phone via a T-Mobile unlimited plan that costs $70/mo.

Guess when you get back to the states you can go to a T-Mobile store and try your phone out. See if they give you full 3G if not you know what you have to do... Other phone or other carrier.

Testing Tmobile with unlocked S3

Hey All,
I've placed a Tmobile sim in my Att unlocked GS3. Ive seen many posts stating that the Att version wont get 4g on tmobile but 4g works fine for me; regularly I can get 5 to 10mb downloads. My issue though is that Im sometimes dropping from 4g to 2g/Edge then back to 4g. Should my phone be dropping to 3g instead ? Im quite shocked when it happens since I usually had strong 4g not far away at all.
Is the general consensus to to simply get a Tmobile device instead of bringing something from at&t? I really dont want to root the phone or flash roms at this point since Im just testing out the service.

You are in a refarmed market from the sound of it. The reason you go from 4g to EDGE is because the refarmed spectrum is most likely not through your entire coverage area.
T-Mobile uses the 1700 band, which at&t does not support, as their primary 4G deployment. This is why it is always recommended to get a T-Mobile S3.
That said, there is a firmware image for at&t's GS3 that unlocks T-Mobiles AWS band not just for 4G but for LTE as well. It is in the at&t forum - you will have to read the entire thread to get the relevant files and information on how to do it. Note that this CAN brick your phone permanently so only attempt it if you are willing to take that chance and you are familiar with download mode and ODIN.
The upside of using that hack is that the T-Mobile S3 doesn't support LTE at all.

Thanks for the clarification and info about the hack. Assuming I get a Tmobile device, should I expect to see a 3g icon instead or would it still say 4g?

It'll say 4g.. A 4g icon really means 3g/h+ and a 4g lte icon means lte

Moving to an area with no T-Mobile coverage...

In the next couple of months, I'll be moving to a part of the U.S. with no good T-Mobile coverage. It's a bit out in the boonies... I've been out there, and I can talk and text, but the data coverage is almost non-existent. So my question is what can I do with this GSM GS3? AT&T coverage is also non-existent. My options seem to be Verizon, Sprint, and something called Plateau (which Wiki says Verizon has purchased).
Am I basically screwed? Am I going to have to get myself a CDMA variant? Will this GSM work on Verizon's network but at reduced speeds? Blah... Thanks for any insights.

You could call support and see if they have any information about any possible network expansion in that area. If they have no plans, or no information, I would suggest looking into switching carriers and selling your S3. Thats what I would do anyway.
Just depends on how necessary mobile data is to you.

See if you can swap phones with someone... Before you leave. Put up a post on Craigslist if you have one in your area offering to swap devices... People that are under contract and want to switch to T-Mobile would jump all over it and you'd get a free phone essentially on a carrier that works (I would recommend Verizon if you're in the boonies, Sprint's PCS coverage is going to be spotty no doubt and their data speeds are horrible everywhere) and you could end up with a shorter contract than being a new customer. All it takes is a transfer of liability.
Unfortunately, the GSM version has no support for CDMA so you have to get a new phone either way.

Try signal booster from Tmo it's free, call tech support not regular nono rep.

Verizon is most likely the best choice, as has been stated. Welcome to paying 50% more for the same plan. That's the only reason I don't use them. They are better where I live. Reception and data is 4G here. But not paying $40 more a month for it.

Depending on your usage you could look into Verizon MVNOs like PagePlus. Their plans work well for a lot of people.
