While I think the move is likely DT positioning T-mo as public to be able to divest at will, I also hope the combined spectrum can bring pain(competition) to Verizon and AT&T they need to suffer and do more for the consumer.

The phone is already LTE capable, however T-Mobile needs to flip the switch 1st then we will get an update.
Not yet tmobile not ready 4 lte sometime in 2014

Or more likely 2013 depending in your area.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
Hopefully someone can find out how to activate LTE so that we won't have to wait til 2014 when the phone is outdated.

2014? Really dude....phone is already LTE capable and tmo is rolling out their 4G this coming year. Chill out.
Enabling the phone won't do crap until Tmo heats up their LTE mojo on the network. Patience grasshopper.

Not everyone who has the T889 is on Tmobile like you. The phone may have an LTE chip, but it's not usable... so it's not really "LTE capable".

Although this is quite frustrating let's try to take this in our favor. There should be a CDMA version. Would that help in fixing our radio issues in the job ports for our phones?

Yes it is bad but what else do you expect when our device is released with a software version thats three revisions older than the same phone released in Korea . Im just hoping lg is using the time wisely and trying to fix the radio

We have known this was coming. It sucks now that its here, but there definitely are CDMA carriers, although GSM is the standard, in Europe that might have what we need to get JB on our device.

There are CDMA carriers in Sweden, Russia, Belarus, Poland and many others. While GSM is definitely the standard and overwhelming favorite of the majority of nations, and exclusive in many as well, I personally have used a CDMA phone in Europe.

The European Union supposedly banned it for mobile use. I'm not sure all of those countries are in the EU

That is possible, but I'm fairly certain that Sweden is.
I did read once that certain frequencies are reserved by law for GSM which in some countries would probably make it illegal.
ALSO... Once I thought about it, I realized it has been like four years since I used said CDMA phone. Maybe it has since gone the way of cigarette commercials and I'm just behind the times.

To the OP.
Sprint has had JB for over a month. Not sure where you have been. Not a Korean JB port or CM. They have actually had stock JB for the LS970.
They even released an update to fix a bug in it already.

Yes, it is for sure. Not rumor, not intuition, it is a fact. It still is just going to take a few more weeks. CM should pop up in the next week or so too.

Unlocking?

If I unlock my phone can my company know I'm using a s3?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Sorry, maybe its just me today, but the question just doesn't make sense to me.
Unlocking simply lets you use the phone on another carriers network. How or why would your company care what model your cell is?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Because when it is not unlocked some companies require you or automatically puts u into a data plan.
So my question -
Can your company detect what phone you are using if it is unlocked?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
When you say "your company" do you mean your carrier or cellular provider, such as T-Mobile or AT&T?
If that's what you mean then yes, they are usually able to tell what kind of phone you are using.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I don't think they'll make you get a data plan if you bring your own phone, and can't you cancel the data after a while?

That's for T-Mobile from reading it...
"Step 10. Once that’s done restoring, your phone will reboot. Just give it about a minute as it will reboot. Once rebooted, you can insert your T-Mobile SIM card and start enjoying T-Mobile 3G/4G HSPA+!"
Yup. I see that now. Flimflam said that the hack was in that site. Thats the only one I saw that looked relevant to the post. Maybe I missed it somewhere.
