I have N900T, bought new one, stock Lollipop 5.0 and 4G doesnt work here in Serbia on this phone. Also I have poor network signal when I enter in some building and if I enter in some club or cafe I lost network. I have 4G card which work on other 4G phones with 4G signal. When I spoke with my network operator the told me that my phone was never registered on 4G network. If u have some suggestion how to fix that I will be more then thankful. Network operator is MTS Serbia.

I found out quite late that Tmobile is limited to 2G data on IPhones.. (or atleast IPhone 4S). I use TMobile prepaid 3$/day package as my usage is limited and sporadic.
Considering the S3, can anyone please tell me if Samsung has released distinct versions of the S3 for the two networks, or the same model covers both?.
Thanks.
I believe att has the lte version. Yes different phones.

Thanks Mr?Bmg
I suppose, the question I really wanted to ask was, is one network's version more of an international phone than the other with regards to data?... i.e if I were to take the phone to a)UK/Europe, b) Pakistan,
Would both phone be able to get atleast 3G, or, would the TMobile version still be restricted to EDGE?.
Thanks.

There are different versions of the S3 for both the ATT and TMobile. On the S2, the difference was in the apearance, where the ATT was a little more square like, and TMobile had rounded edges. In the S3 though, the only difference is the name printed on the back (where it has either the Tmobile or the ATT logo). As for the mobile network support, I think that only the radio is different. Even now, you are not limited to 2g by your phone, but rather whatever TMobile decided to give you. Both phones will get atleast 3g. I know that TMobile version does not have LTE support, but im not sure about the ATT version.

If you bring an AT&T phone to T-Mobile, you will not get 4G.
You can best 3G if your AT&T Phone has the 1900 range, you can get 3G on T-Mobile's service. Not sure how well it will be since it's only picking 1900 without others.
If you unlock your T-Mobile S3 you should be able to get 3G/HSPA+ on AT&T. The T-Mobile S3 is a pentaband device.

If you are using an iPhone you might as well do the $2 a day since the $3 will only affect you if your phone gets 4G. They will be exactly the same performance on the $2 since it will just be on unlimited EDGE.

The AT&T version does not get 3G on T-Mobile save for a few sporadic locations across the states. And yes, it also has LTE.

I have a N7100 I am using with Tmobil. Refarmed tmobil 1900mhz 4g sites work fine, but coverage is spotty.
Can I flash a stock or other tmobil rom to this device in order to take advatage of the existing tmobil 4g I enjoyed with my branded Galaxy S4g phone.
I can wait for the re-farm, however if I can reflash to get fast data I would do it? I dont care if I loose the FM radio functionality.
What do you think ???

I bet it's possible using a similar process to what's described here.
Edit: Sorry I misread your OP. It's the other way around I'm afraid. The T889 has DC-HSPA hardware that the international N7100 does not have. Sure, you'll be able to connect to 1900mhz T-Mobile HSPA+ service on an unlocked N7100, but it will be 21mbit HSPA+, not 42mbit.
Do these phones operate on AT&T 3g, I would get the nitro but I want NFC

Neither phone has the radios to get 3G/LTE on AT&T
I have a similar problem.. I'm on fido in Canada and I cant get 3g or 4g connection. Should I give up, or is there something I can do? I also tried changing the build.prop line to US and Canada, still no luck.
Does anybody is this phone works with Verizon???

Can you tell me the country you live in.
This is needed because your phone might not support the 4G frequencies used in your country.

thanks, im in the Philippines, not really coz i do have a pocket wifi which suppports LTE and im having no problems with it. it's just that the phone is not picking up
i tried to do some research and found that my model SHV.. caters 1800 and 850 band for LTE, Smart telecom does cater 2100 and 1800, so that means that even if the phone doesnt support 2100, i should be able to get LTE through 1800 band..
thank you

Hello, I have a LG G3 D855 SEA V20c running 5.0. I'm looking for permanent fix for LTE. I'm located in Montreal, Canada running on the Rogers network. I recently rooted the phone . I'm looking for suggestions on how to best achieve this.
I have tried the 3845#*855# method but it has to be redone whenever the phone restarts also you get limited 4G coverage with this phone variant
Thanks,
John

Im just trying to help and apologize if you have already done this but i believe Rogers uses a slightly different apn setting for lte. I havent been with the carrier for over a year now so make sure you got the right settings! If it isnt that then im guessing you are referring to the difference in cellular bands. I do know that USA carriers use a different lte band than us canadians and that for the note 3 devices there was a way to unlock the qualcom chip to enable it but i have not seen such things for the g3 as of yet. Hope i helped:good:

Please check the signals that the 4G band for Rodgers runs on
Sometimes the D855 international variant does not include the signal band that LTE runs on

So do you get lte sometimes? If so it may just be Rogers garbage lte coverage.

My note 2 get's excellent LTE coverage. I think I will flash it with the stock HK rom, I think I will have better LTE control and hopefully better coverage.
