I don't know much about the 3g 4g thing and how it works.. except that 4g has faster data speeds then 3g.. but my question is--- when the vibrant 4g comes out on feb 23rd. Will it be possible to port the 4g to a typical vibrant?

Check the development section and look for the vibrant plus rom

Does the SGS2 have 4g support like the Atrix? Hard to imagine a phone with these goodies doesn't have 4g.
No it doesn't.

Yes it does, it has 21 Mbps HSPA. Call that 4g if you want, that's the fake 4g att is claiming.

One Good thing i have noticed : it shows G when idle and H+ signal when ever I am using data.
Atrix is only 14mb/s where as this is 21mb/s so its theoreticaly faster

4G right now is nothing but a carrier marketing gimmick, but yes our SGS II's have support for AT&T's (formerly known as 3G until T-Mobile made it cool to call it) 4G network. I wish it was LTE capable, but I suppose that's what the SGS III will be for eh?
Just ran a speed test on my phone and im getting awful speeds. Around 300kb on average. Running stock rom ke5 radio and matrix kernel. Any idea why it is so damn slow with full service bars??

Move to question please can't do it from the app my bad.
although it probably won't get answered there.

Yes you're right about wrong area... but keep in mind bars mean nothing.. I could have two bars on my nexus s and my friend could have full bars on his evo 3d and I'd still have better data speeds than him. As of late sprints 3G speeds have not been great.. 4G is where its at.

Also if you were using the speedtest app itgives really inconsistent results. I use speakeasy.net on my phond

Maybe try another radio? I mean data speed isn't a kernel issue

Sprint sucks! I never have a service where I used to have before and 3g feels like 1x most of the time.

update your prl/profile.
sometimes sprint's speed sucks, sometimes it's great. i get inconsistent speeds... sometimes i'll get 1.5mpbs on 3G, other times I'll get 300kbps...
Updated both prl and profile and i'm pulling down speeds of 199kb. Awful. My upload is faster than my download haha.
On wifi I'm pulling speeds around 16mb

Known issue, wrong sub-forum, thread closed.
From what i have researched, and i could be wrong there's not alot of info on this so i appologize in advance, the symbol for 4g is also an "H". I heard they have a vibrant 4g, ffc, 4g, etc., and i definitely do not have it. BUT my Samsung vibrant sometimes gets an "H" symbol when I'm in some areas. Concord NH doesn't get 4g but when im in a tmobile store i randomly get the h symbol and when I'm in Nashua i only get an h symbol. i pay 50 a month for unlimited data and 100 mgps at "4g" speeds. I just want to know if the T-Mobile Samsung galaxy s vibrant on firmware 2.1 stock, mine is on 2.3.7 cm7, gets or is able to get 4g on updated firmware. Thanks in advance for any help.

T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant does NOT have 4G hardware.
You are seeing an H because you are running a custom rom. On CM-7 and MiUi it displays an H, indicating something like 3.5G.
Oh ok thank you for the quick reply also one more question am i supposed to get 3g with T-Mobile unlimited data because i get a text saying 2g after 100mb limit is used and also on the my account app it says 2g. But in Nashua it says 3g on stock firmware, but the speeds are around 0.12mbps (internet speed app). I kind of want to know before i go to T-Mobile and waste time

I think that you are only going to get full "fast" speeds for the first 100 mb. After that it will still show 3G in the task bar but your speed will be throttled down to 2G speeds.
Alright thanks for the info mods can trash this if they want now

I assure you you're not getting 4G speeds. Your device does not have the hardware needed to receive these speeds. 4G and 3G is NOT software... so, not being 4G, you're definitely not getting it. It's just the ROM you're running. Despite icons, your phone is running as usual.

agreed. its all hardware, not software. on the vibrant, we are limited to a modem of HSPA+ 7. 4G is marketed as having a modem of HSPA+ 14 or higher.
Ok not sure if anyone asked this question I know that the phone has 4G capabilities but does it have 3G as well? I know it was stated that it did in the article to get the 4G for T-mobile service, but after doing the flash I only notice 4G. Another question does the 4G kill the battery a lot faster because I know for sure I don't get 13 hours out of my phone as stated.
If it isn't LTE, it isn't 4G. Tmobile and AT&T non LTE 4G is just 3G, at best 3.5G and it does not use much more battery.

3G 4G same thing pretty much if u need to ask about it. 3g is umts. And 3.5g is hspa.
T-Mobile does not have real 4G. They use 3.5. So what ur asking when you see 4G your really on 3G or 3.5G

Thanks Guys for the input!!!
Hey guys, noob here, and I just recently flashed a ROM I found on Xda that supposed to be just like the droid razr. I am loving the ROM but something is confusing me. Sometimes my phone shows 4g LTE in the status bar when my phone should only be getting 3g from T Mobile. I checked on the guys page and I can't find anything on the subject. Is it possible that my phone is getting 4G coverage?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I highly doubt it since the vibrant only supports 3g now as for the t959v thats the 4g varient of our vibrant with a different modem if memory serves me right.
Though I have noticed my 3g speeds down right blow past my sidekick4g's speeds but ofcourse that might just be due to it being a sidekick4g >.>

No, i know what ROM you are talking about. It is a port from the Razr and the Razr has 4G LTE. When it says 4G LTE on the Vibrant it means you have 3G.
Thanks guys I appreciate the responses that's what I was thinking but just wanted to make sure!
