[Q] AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 on T-Mobile HSPA+/LTE - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Is the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 compatible with T-Mobile HSPA+/LTE?

It will work but you should enable aws to ensure you get fast data speeds.

What do I need to do?

Is there something I have to flash to enable this? If so, what is it and where can I find it?

This will fubar his modem if he's coming from ATT 4.3 or 4.4.2 firmware. See my post on page 112 of that thread.

I am on 4.4.2. I see that the method you used was the Odin version. Do you think the way I suggested in my previous post would work?

I looked into that method (flashing nv data via qpst). I'm not sure if it will work or not, but it requires reapplication every restart, which means staying on stock firmware and re-applying any time the phone restarts. Didn't sound like a good time to me, so I gave it a miss. I'm running LTE+Edge only for now, it's not that bad, but it does make the data service very slow in general (no LTE coverage most places, so down to Edge speeds, no HSPA+).

What are your average download and upload speed on 4G LTE? Is it using the 1700/2100 AWS bands?

[Q] Can't connect using 3g at&t data, please help me!!

Hello everyone,
I just bought an unlocked t989 and try to use the 3g data with att ( i have the $50 unlimited all gophone) i already try the wap.cingular and the isp.cingular APNS but only get 3g icon and mms sending/receiving capability but can't connect to web, already try the *#*#.... code and select the 850 wcdma band, i don't know what can i do to get it working, when i connect on gsm only (edge) everythings works
please, any help is appreciated
thanks in advance
i have one of these for my gf who is on att im wondering how to get it working as well... any info will be appreciated. thanks!
I was going to do the same as well, until multiple managers of various AT&T stores that I went to all told me that prepaid data plans will ONLY work with AT&T's prepaid phones. In other words, even if you were to buy a AT&T Galaxy S2, and try to use it with their Prepaid GoPhone data plan, you still would not have any internet at all. Hope this helps!

Hmm, really? That's interesting. I personally have only tried it with a Sony phone myself which I put my prepaid go-phone sim card into, however it did not work. Im thinking this could be due to the fact that my sim card is really old and outdated, not too sure though.
If you can access edge on your T989 though, it should also be able to access the 3G network supposedly. Our T989's DO have the correct bands for AT&T's 3G, right?
Pretty sure you have to flash a skyrocket modem. Only then will it activate the correct radio bands.

T889v lte enable?

I was wondering if it is possible to enable LTE on a WIND Galaxy Note 2? I recently switched to bell, and I do not have LTE, but I know that T-Mobile has an updated Modem that enables LTE, so can I use it on my phone?
You would need LTE service to connect to. Without that it doesn't matter.

My Bell Plan, and my Bell Micro-Sim supports LTE.
I'm not sure a Tmobile modem would help you with that. Are your phone settings correct for LTE service on Bell? And, I guess, is it unlocked, with the right radio inside to connect to Bell LTE? I'm not familiar with Canadian carrier compatability.

I happen to be.
The Mobicility/Wind/Videotron T889V's modem has LTE disabled just like the T-Mobile's T889's modem prior to the LTE update. There's a bug where flashing a T889, I317 or I317M modem through CWM or TWRP (Odin will fail before writing) leads to IMEI corruption and bootloops.
You've got some more searching and reading to do but enabling LTE has been done at least twice, by Rail205 and myself.
Good luck,

Can you possibly guide me on how you did it? And also, does your phone have LTE AND AWS HSPA, or one or the other?
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
I do have both AWS LTE and HSPA from what little testing I've done with the latter. This makes sense given that's exactly the configuration used by T-Mobile.
Use the search engine, there's gotta be at least four or five threads about enabling LTE on the T889V.
Essentially this is an experimental and so far irreversible mod. So you're really kissing your warranty goodbye. And I will be of limited help if you (or I, by way of my instructions) screw up.
I'll send you a draft guide via PM if you're still interested. Consider getting an I317M and enabling AWS HSPA on it instead.

[Q] Flasing T-Mobile roms on AT&T GS3, getprop error

I have a Galaxy S III from AT&T. I got it unlocked and activated on T-Mobile last month.
Now, I went a month on AT&T roms, but recently I flashed SlimBean, which is dual carrier. My phone immediately connected to LTE! Never had I seen LTE on TM's network on this phone before, so I take that to mean I need to run T-Mobile ROMs to get LTE service.
So just now I tried to flash BeanStalk for d2tmo, but it won't let me install it because, of course, it's not made for this phone. From what I have read, though, it should work fine on my phone. How do I override this failsafe so I can run T-Mobile roms on my AT&T gs3?
"You do this with 7-Zip/WinRAR
Note: DO NOT EXTRACT ROM!
Open the zip file, do not extract, go to:
/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
1)Open updater-script with a script editor such as notepad/notepad++ (makes things 10x easier), or gedit if you use linux
2)Delete the first line of code (all the way up to the first semicolon you see) and delete the first semi-colon as well
Do not go past the first semiclon when deleteing and DO NOT forget to delete the first semicolon."
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You'll want to delete the highlighted text in the updater-script, then save it. You shouldn't run into anymore problems or errors when flashing the ROM.

And the Rom won't give you LTE. Most T999 roms will show 4g, but look in settings for your true connection. You probably had it all along.

Well I had LTE / GSM / WCDMA selected in the settings on CyanogenMod for the I747 and it wasn't connecting to LTE. Only HSPA+. So either it's the ROM, or T-Mobile launched their LTE network here at the same time I flashed SlimBean.
I'm running stock i747 and I get Lte all over Chicagoland. I'm rooted now, but I got it before I rooted too. I'm using the stock 4.1.1 that came with the phone, picked it up for $180 a few days ago...Wow this thing is awesome.
Thinking about going with Dandroid tomorrow...still deciding att or T-Mobile version.

Please do let me know! When I was running the AT&T roms, I had "Simple Mobile", "StraightTalk", and "T-Mobile". I tested and all of them worked, but just connected to HSPA+.
Now that I've installed a T-Mobile rom I am also getting "Solavei" and "T-Mobile LTE." When I select T-Mobile LTE, my phone connects to the LTE network. When I have the regular T-Mobile option selected it doesn't connect to data at all.
EDIT: I am testing again, and I actually can connect to HSPA+ on the regular T-Mobile APN. Let me walk around and see if I can make it connect to LTE. Then I'm going to flash an AT&T rom and try to get it to connect to the LTE network by manually adding the APN. I'll let you know how it goes.
Can the APNs determine what type of network you connect to?
I'm just curious what APN settings you're using to connect to LTE on the AT&T rom.
Okay, here's another update as the result of some testing with my T-Mobile rom:
When I switch to the "T-Mobile US" (no LTE) APN, I noticed that my data cut in and out sort of randomly. I speculate that the reason for this is because it was trying to connect to the LTE network but couldn't get data on it because my APN was set incorrectly. This is what confused be before. I switched the data mode to GSM / WCDMA preferred and it immediately connected to data, and was consistent.
So I think if I just add the T-Mobile US LTE APN to an AT&T rom, it should connect to LTE properly?
A long time ago when I was just on the T-Mobile US APN on an AT&T rom, it was doing the same thing with being inconsistent with the data connection until I disabled LTE so it stopped trying to connect. I'll take the fact that it tried to connect but couldn't as enough evidence that it knows how, it just needs the APN.
Yay figuring things out! Sorry if my words are confusing or I maybe I should have made a new thread for this. I'm new here, and I'm not sure how this kind of things work.
Thanks for the help in figuring that out!
Sorry about the sidetrack, I'll work on getting 4.3 next, and let you know how that goes.
Here's what I've got

[Q] At&t S3 On MetroPCS LTE/TmobileLTE

Hi guys, i have a s3 i747 that has been unlocked and ready to be used on other gsm networks.
I went to a metropcs store and had the phone activated and sim card inserted, my imei was connected fine and everything went great.
I instantly had EDGE(1x or 2g) and even after hours of searching and phone calls to metropcs all i can find is APN solutions that dont work.
I currently live in Dallas/Ft Worth so i know the LTE coverage for Metropcs/Tmo is amazing it just ill not connect to LTE.
How do i get LTE to work on this device ??
Phone Specs
Has root
Unlocked
S3 i747 from At&t
Worked fine on At&T for LTE
Su keeps for closing at start because it says security issues
Stock rom on 4.3 but it says custom build under about settings for some reason.
Data speed is about 0.09-0.10mbps
Any help would be great. Sorry if this is a repost of other types of threads but i never found answers and did not want to re awaken old threads.

This issue seems popular this week.
If it's like the others, it's an issue from unlocking. the nv file gets damaged. The solution so far is to use nv-reader-writer to copy another phone's nv file and replace yours with it.
have you tested *#*#4636#*#* method? just mess around with the preferred network and see
I'm on Tmobile and worked fine with LTE
Where could i find a nv file for the s3 i747?

Sir, i tried to use the nv tool but it keeps saying phone wont connect.
i have the drivers installed, it sees my ports for the phone, i go to connect and it does, but when i click read device it fails. Ive had no boxes checked, one box checked and both boxes for spc and fast read(i think it is) checked. No Go either way. Any suggestions for this? Then i can see if the NV Writer is a solution. Also i can use my own NV file right??? Or would that just be a corrupted file being reloaded ?? If thats the case how do i find a clean NV file for a Samsung Galaxy S3 i747 for AT&T??? Thanks again for the help brother
I would think you would need to load an NV of a different s3. I will try to load my NV here in a few and see what happens. PM me also

Ok guys i tried some settings. a guy i know tried to inject the AWS for Tmobiles band freq. and it didnt work.
SOooooooooo im thinking we might have to skip AT&T phones on metro/tmo and get a tmo phone or a AT&T phone that supports AWS band freq.

Wait....How are you getting 4g ?? it might not be LTE but da*m its faster than Edge. Could you tell me your apn, and your settings if you changed anything since you first switched to metropcs.
Like dial star, hash(number sign)twice, the 4636 and star,hash star, hash and go to device info, then screen shot, then scroll down and screen shot again where i can see "set preferred network"
also man are you sure you have the S3 I747 from AT&T??
Make sure you are checking your connection in Settings > About Device > Status > Network Type
You cant always trust what's displayed in the status bar. Especially when using a custom rom or using a device on a different network than it was intended for.
Yea man I know. I've checked everything and says edge still.
I think it's based on your radio and kernel. Brad what kernel and radio you using.?
I'm on 4.3 Rooted and stock.

TMO rom /w LTE support

I'm in a real pickle. I have a AT&T (I747) S3 that's capable of LTE. I've flashed several T-mobile rom's on it and everything seems to work except I don't get an option to choose LTE in the Mobile Networks. I assume this is because T999 did not have LTE but T999L did.
Are there any roms that are touchwiz (I need wifi calling) and also support LTE?
Thanks folks!
Um... Why haven't you tried at&t ROMs if you don't have a t999* device anyway?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk
Because AT&T roms don't have Wifi-Calling feature. I should have clarified T-Mobile is my carrier.
I was able to figure this out. I downloaded this 4.3 Stock deoxed ROM for T999L and I was able to get everything working. Now onto theming it like an S5. Unfortunately majority of the custom roms out are for the T999 and don't support LTE. http://click.xda-developers.com/api/click?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_14033932361886&key=f0a7f91912ae2b52e0700f73990eb321&libId=e2cc1c90-f9dd-49fc-b098-d6b1401acb32&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D2561670%26page%3D7&v=1&out=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.androidfilehost.com%2F%3Ffid%3D23252070760975307&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D2561670%26page%3D8&title=4.3%20Update%20for%20T999L%20now%20live%20-%20Page%207%20-%20xda-developers&txt=%3Cfont%20color%3D%22Blue%22%3ET999L_4.3_UVUBMK4_deodexed_KnoxFREE.zip%3C%2Ffont%3E

Um... Why haven't you tried at&t ROMs if you don't have a t999* device anyway?

T999 ROMs do support LTE, but you won't see the option for it, as long as you select auto it will connect to it

I still can't seem to get LTE on this AT&T S3 (/w AWS enabled). In the same area I'm able to pickup LTE on another AT&T S4 (/w AWS enabled). I'm able to pick up Edge and HSPA+ on both.
UPDATE: I was able to connect to LTE but I had to force the phone to use LTE Band 4 using *#BAND#. I was not able to make any calls at this point since it was the modem was running LTE only.
I then moved the modem to Automatic and the LTE remained and I was able to make some calls but on ending them, it went straight to Edge instead of HSPA+ or LTE.
The switch over between Edge to HSPA+ / LTE doesn't seem as smooth as the S4 and sometimes it just doesn't switch and sticks to Edge.
Ideas?
People have been trying to do this for a while and it is something I believe just isnt going to work. The I747 was built to use a specific set of frequencies on AT&T networks. T-Mobile uses different frequencies/bands and the I747 simply cannot make proper use of them. There's threads in AT&T forums about this. You should check them out.
I used an I747 before with T999 ROMs and had no problems connecting to LTE once I used the correct APN, can you please state what APN you are using?

Ok, I have realized that this is an error caused by the AWS patch going away when I reboot. I thought this wasn't supposed to happen with I747 and only with i747M's but it seems like it's happening to my unit.
Once I have the AWS patch on, it goes quickly from E - > 4G (HSPA+ - > LTE (when available). When the HSPA+ is only available, it has a much harder time moving from E-> LTE directly.

Oh I didn't realize you were using the patch.. Well my area is refarmed for 1900 hspa+ so I didn't have to use any patches, once I put in the LTE APN it quickly picked up LTE and everything was good
