Looks like Edge only. I just unlocked a GS3 for my dad and he's on Tmobile. Is there a fix to try and get 3G?

I have a T999 unlocked and I'm getting 3g and some times 4g like right now. Called at&t to check they said no lte but yes to hspa.

Unfortunatley no. I had to pay $19.99.

About two days ago me and my friend bought a cheap tmobile phone, cut the sim to fit his att gs3 called att and got them to unlock the phone, popped in the new sim and he was able to get 3g and hspa+ on tmobile's network with his att galaxy s3. we were both pretty surprised that it worked. he's running cm10 if that matters.

That is because tmobile is rolling out there hspa+ data service on the 1900mhz frequency slowly but surely and the att gs3 supports the 1900mhz bands.. The BEST gs3 to buy is the tmobile gs3 if i am not mistaken it suports all of tmobiles aws bands and all of att hspa+ bands. Unlock that one and you can use either network to its fullest minus the LTE.
BTW.. tmobiles aws coverage is pretty damn good in the north east and there data speeds are almost as good as LTE.

I just called ATT today and told them I would be travelling overseas and they gave me the unlock code for my GS3 and GS2. Gonna go get a sim today for the S3 and try out a unlimited monthly no contract plan.
I'm in Warren county and travel throughout northern and central Jersey for work but I know no one with their service. So you think I should be good signalwise? Like I said I know no one with the service but am willing to try it out for a month since they are 20 dollars cheaper than ATT atm

No it will suck because like I said tmobile is rolling out service on 1900 but it's still spotty. Unless you have a tmobile gs3 you will be disappointed . However if you can get a gs3 for tmobile or another phone that supports tmobile aws bands you will be very happy. The tmobile gs3 works fine on att after u unlock it.. But no LTE.

HEADS UP: Rogers Optimus G (LG-E971) not compatible with Bell LTE

In Canada, I am unable to get my Rogers LG-E971 to connect to Bell's LTE network. Talked with Bell technical support and they said that the phone is not reporting LTE capability. I even messed around in the service menu (use 971 instead of 973 or 970 in the code) and enabled the bands that bell uses, still no go. I can't even return the phone now, because I had to unlock it to try it on Bell.
Bell sells the LG-E973. I bought the Rogers because Bell will not sell new phones without selling/renewing a plan along with the phone.
So, to sum up, don't go buying a Rogers Optimus G hoping to get LTE to work on Bell (or Telus, I assume) after unlocking. You'll be out your $700 because shops won't accept the return if the phone has been unlocked.
Edit: Forgot to say, I get 4G HSPA speeds (pulling 15Mbps down on speedtest compared to 30Mbps down on a friend's iPhone 5 LTE connection) on Bell.

Confused
i got the g for rogers aswell.. are you saying that rogers doesnt provided lte?
my signal says 4g... thought that meant LTE??
and your right.. i get 14mb down.. is supposed to be 30???

from speedtest videos, it's supposed to have an lte icon when it's on lte. you can check which network it's on by checking settings->about phone->status (or something along those lines, i don't have the phone in front of me at the moment).
You should be able to get LTE on rogers, if you're not you need to check your coverage at http://www.rogers.com/web/content/w...nsumer_Wireless_Eng-_-Network_0909-_-coverage
My personal issue is just that it's not compatible with Bell LTE (as far as I can tell).

4G is HSPA+ not LTE. If you're on Rogers and not getting LTE with the Rogers phone make sure you live in an area with LTE coverage and that you have not accidentally disabled it in the mobile network settings.
As for the Rogers version not working with Bell LTE, maybe once the bootloader is unlocked it will be possible to flash the Bell radio and have it work?

I think this is because the rogers optimus g's LTE runs on the 2600mhz band only, as far as i know, so far, it is the ONLY phone in the country that runs on the 2600 band currently. The upside is that you practically get your own private "highway" and you should see significant speed advantages as long as you are connected to roger's network. The downside is that it not very compatible with other networks.

I read this, but most of the articles I'd read said that the 2600MHz band was supposed to be a joint rollout between Rogers and Bell. Sigh.
The possibility of flashing the radio is still pretty far off unfortunately. This phone's going on craigslist; I'll just have to wait till people actually have the Bell one in stock to get my new Optimus.

just called rogers
i had the sim from my iphone4 installed.. thats why it was saying 4g
went to put the lte one in that they sent me and its too big!! they sent me the full size one ...grrrrr!!

In korean version of the G, HSPA+ shows as 3G and LTE as 4G.
I believe ive never seen the LTE icon on the G.

Here the korean screen.
But it obviously depends on the provider/phone version.
The LTE icon probably shown only for providers which dont support the full version of LTE, just the internet/data.
Btw HSPA+ arent related to the 4G, so basically its a cheating and should be sued

Hi all-
I have my E970 working on Rogers, and yes - that's one of the reason I've stuck to the AT&T phone. I suspected Rogers would f*** the consumer somehow as usual. Then again, I still have no Wifi hotspot capability until a ROM update removes AT&T's block.. :silly:
How exactly does one access the service menu to enable or disable various frequencies? I had asked about changing the baseband radio support because the AT&T 700mhz support is useless here in Canada, as the spectrum auction hasn't even run yet. It'll be 18 months or more before a provider has any support for it. But I could use 2600mhz support, or 1800 or 2100mhz support for roaming on vacations.
The band all GSM North American Optimus G models should have in common is the AWS band - 1700up/2100down. The E970 also has 700mhz, the Rogers E971 2600mhz and Telus/Bell E973s ??? (most websites claim 1800mhz, but this seems odd since neither actually use this frequency for LTE).
On the E970, HSPA+ service shows a 4G icon.
On LTE service it shows 4G LTE, even though the speeds are nothing alike. HSPA+ Here in Alberta is typically 1-4Mbit, the LTE speeds so far are nothing to write home about either, averaging about half the claims I see from Rogers users in Ontario or BC - typically 15-30Mbit downstream and 8-12Mbit upstream in various parts of the city.
Here's my Speedtest.net samples from Rogers LTE over the weekend, check the attached screenshot. The speeds seem all over the map, but are all in the same areas of the city, downtown and northside.

Service menu can be accessed by typing 3845#*970# into the dialer, where you replace 970 with the model number of the phone (Bell is 973, Rogers is 971). From there, ->LTE-Only->Modem Settings->LTE Band Selection. Checking the items seems to apply the settings immediately.
If you're getting 30Mbps then that's pretty good, here in Vancouver Rogers seems to top out around 50Mbps with good weather and everything. If you ever get more than half the claimed speeds you're probably standing in a testing lab.
Haze08, I've seen that the American models are unlocked now, but they still have to do the work on the Canadian ones, then someone would still have to have the inclination to figure out the differences between Bell and Rogers models, then figure out a safe way to flash the baseband, then test if it's safe to modify the baseband of one model to make LTE work on a different network. That assumes that it's possible; it could be a hardware issue that can't be fixed by flashing the radio. I'm not even convinced there'd be a demand for figuring out how to make the Rogers model work on Bell, seeing as how the Bell model is starting to trickle in stock. All these factors add up to me not holding my breath that someday the Rogers model will be able to connect to Bell's LTE network.

I'm just hoping to get the bootloader unlock and stock 4.2 with AWS 2600 LTE support for the Rogers E971. I like this phone and really don't want the hassle of changing it for an N4. This phone phone is simply better in every other way.

How old is your Bell SIM? When I upgraded to an LTE device on Telus I needed the new SIM card. Without it, your device likely will not report LTE capabilities to Bell. If you look at the Galaxy S3, the SGH-i747 is identical for Bell, Telus and Rogers, and all support LTE and there are no issues bringing unlocked phones between the 3 carriers, so it doesn't make sense that the Optimus G itself would behave like this.

The sim card I have is a Bell LTE microsim, and it's getting LTE on my new LG-E973.
To clarify:
Rogers LTE microsim + LG-E971 unlocked = Rogers LTE connection
Bell LTE microsim + LG-E971 unlocked = NO Bell LTE connection
Bell LTE microsim + LG-E973 bought from Bell = Bell LTE connection

you will be able to make phone calls and text people no problem.
the only problem you will have is going to be data connectivity and data speeds because the NOTE2 for AT&T is meant to be used with AT&T LTE.
T mobile's main data band is 1700 which the AT&T phones usually do not have.
To answer your baseband or modem question I believe this thread does not have a modem or baseband for T mobile. You might have luck looking over at their forums, I am not sure.
Good luck to you sir.

The Dell Streak 5 is like the Nexus 4 it has all the HSPA bands. The LTE band for T mobile most likely will be different from AT&T. You can try to unlock it and compare the coverage and speed to your dell streak. I had a dell streak. Great phone!! sold it about a month ago for like 180 bucks.
My suggestion if the unlocked AT&T Note 2 isnt working properly and you want to stay with T MOBILE I would sell it and get the international version.

What you need to is search for how to "enable aws" and you will have 4g working on your device.

LoL! I was getting ready to say that.
All I can do is keep my fingers crossed and hope T-Mo uses the same freq as AT&T's LTE...
Then again given the circumstances of T-Mobile shortly taking over MetroPCS for their LTE coverage, they may have a larger or wider band of LTE frequency ranges.

I will apparently have T-Mo's 42MBPS HSPA+ as opposed to AT&T's 21MBPS HSPA+

Then again, that was my whole intentions of getting an AT&T Note 2 as to T-Mo's Note 2, I've been told there's no LTE Support for the T-Mobile version, but with AT&T I'd have more likely of a chance at having LTE support, once it's available... I still don't to this day don't get why T-Mobile released a crippled down version knowing that they'd have LTE in the near future.
I just didn't know it wouldn't work right away straight outta the box.

Have they specified when they would deploy the network? Even if they did they would start in few markets and by the time there is enough coverage the Note 3 will be out

T-Mobile’s Chief Technology Officer Neville Ray discussed his company’s LTE rollout last month at CES. T-Mobile has said it plans to launch LTE for 100 million pops by mid-year, with 200 million covered by the end of 2013. Las Vegas is expected to be T-Mobile’s first LTE city. T-Mobile operates GSM on 1900 MHz (PCS) in the US and puts HSPA (and LTE) on the AWS band (1.7/2.1 GHz).

AT&T LTE

I have the North American 64gb Zenfone 2. I use AT&T's Share plan and I registered my phone in AT&T's system and it refuses to give me LTE. AT&T claims LTE is enabled on my sim but it doesn't work. When I pop in my brother's sim from an AT&T locked device I get LTE. I do not have any other AT&T locked devices in my house as I recently switched. Can anyone help please??

I am having the same kind of situation with Cricket which is owned by AT&T. My SIM had LTE with my LG Optimus G Pro but only 4G with my ZF2. It is the exact same SIM.

Im on straightalk i used a att sim with no issues on my NA asus zenfone 2, had perfect 4G(lte) signal on 06610.

If the indicater says "4g" that is LTE

OK, cool. My OGP showed LTE when it had the signal. I guess I was expecting the ZF2 to show the same.

Visit your nearest AT&T store and get the rep to delete your ZF2's IMEI from their system. If they won't allow you to, borrow someone else's phone and **get another SIM card** from them. Modifying your APN settings won't help at this point.

I think the phone only shows 4g.. My Nexus 4 (wth LTE Radio) shows LTE..
I am also using Cricket and my phone shows 4G symbol, with speedtest.net I get the 8Mbps down (Cricket caps 4g at that).
When I popped in my t-mobile sim (from the Nexus 4) it also showed 4G symbol, but i would get 26-34Mbps down (which is the 4G/LTE speed)

I dont understand your comment. Did you mean to say that there is no LTE form any provider in the US or that the phone isnt compatible with any 4G in the US?

A tmobile rep emailed me the LTE bands that tmobile currently uses for New York City. He said the phone is compatible. Look below at the tmobile bands. Compare those with the bands on the Xiaomi Mi Max, which is linked here:

Let me know you think!!!!
T-mobile network frequencies in New York are:
2G (GSM)
4G/3G U2100
4G/3G U1900
LTE 2100
LTE 1900
LTE 700A

Well if that's the case it should work, the 2100 & 1900 LTE band's are covered but both of those are short range, long range one LTE 700A is not covered but same situation is in EU regarding LTE band 800. Still I don't guarantee you it will work, it should & close to the towers with those two short range bands if you're info is correct (phone side is correct and same as listed on GSMarena).
Best regards.

No LTE in USA for any provider... with Mi Max.... T-Mobile rep doesn't know a thing about this phone.

check this out "will my phone work .net" without spaces
I've checked myshelf, no support for T-Mobile 4G LTE in New York. Only 2G and 3G

I have mi max on t mobile and only have hspa+, but it's fast enough in my area (30mbs down)

I live in NYC and I get about 5 mbps down using tmo. In comparison, using my note 4 I get around 30mpbs. In NYC you will be using the refarmed 3g network, not LTE. My phone switches between 3g and h+ but it's essentially the same thing

I've driven from upper new york thru Canada, to Chicago. Never without data for long. All bigger cities fine, smaller cities 3g, it's a great device.
Probably not stream video but Google maps worked fine.
