Get the international version i9100 or i9100P (has NFC)
Sorry do you have 4G network in Jordan?
@Nyssa1104 thank you man for reply international version has 1.2GHZ but t-mobile has 1.5GHZ why international are better i dont know if we have 4g but i certain that we have 3g
Definitely get the international version if you're planning on using custom firmware.
There seems to be a lot more development that has happened/is continuing to happen for this variant as opposed to the others. But as Nyssa mentioned, if you can get one (international) with NFC (so you can use it as a virtual wallet/tap to pay, etc) why not
@MistahBungle thanks man i didnt understand you so i will rewrite the question in another type if i bought a T-mobile can i unlock it to apply our Sim (orange,zain,ect) and what is the different between international and T-mobile
I honestly don't know if the T-Mobile version will work in your country or not (I have international version). The T-Mobile has slightly bigger screen, different processor, 4 touch buttons, support for 42mbps data speeds, and supports 1700mhz UTMS...This is all as far as I know. You might want to do a bit more research about the features yourself.
You might want to ask your carrier if this phone will work on their network or not before buying it.
thanks guy for help but i have a little question to people who used the 1.5 and 1.2 processor is there a big different between them
Are you sure you don't want a Galaxy Note? I wouldn't buy SGS2 now, when GN is out.
But if you get one, get the international.
AFAIK it's the same processor, only OCed a bit, what you can do with a custom kernel aswell.
T mobile sgs2 uses a qualcomm snapdragon which is based on the cortex A8 vs the A9 in the exynos and as such is slower clock for clock, so the 1.2ghz exynos is faster and has a better CPU.
I would go for the i9100, it supports GSM (2g) 850/900/1800/1900 and 3G 850/900/1900/2100 so make sure it will work on your network.

PS, I was bored so I checked the networks in Jordan, and as far as I can tell, they use 900 and 1800 so at least it will work on edge/2g and should work on 3g (old thread where someone said they are using a at&t iPhone 3g there on 3g fine, and the i9100 covers the same 3g bands) but I can't find any hard info so I can't be 100% sure.

I recommend buying the International i9100 BUT make sure it isn't the i9100G. It's far worse than the original i9100. Aside from that the AT&T SGS2 looks good too

No, there isn't. Nothing you're gonna feel in day-to-day usage.
Need stock/unrooted 4g North American ROM (Canada specifically) for p7500 4g model(Telus)
I have been searching everywhere and can only seem to find 3.1 versions for my galaxy tab 10.1 p7500 4g model.
Can someone point me in the correct direction to find a stock 3.2 ROM.
Thanks
You sure it's 4G ? Some say it is but it isn't.
I thought mine was 4G too but its just the 3G. As far as I know majority of the 7500 series are 3G.I have one too so yes, I would know.
Go to sammobile.com it has what you need. I can't link it as you need to make an account, for free ofcourse.
Hey guys,
I have searched throughout the forums but have not been able to find a solid answer. I just got a Korean variant of the SG2, model M250K. I reside in Canada and am on the Fido network which is the same as Rogers. Wondering if this is a software or hardware issue. I am on the stock Korean firmware. The phone is working except I cannot acquire 3G data. Is there anything I can do to let it acquire 3g speeds here, Fido uses the 850 frequency. As far as I have read the korean firmware does not use that frequency hence I am getting edge connections. Are all of the Samsung Galaxy S2 phones built the same ie, GSM phones all have the same abilities. Would flashing to another firmware allow me to connect to the 850 frequency. Basivcally is this a software issue or hardware issue. Thanks guys.
I just dont know which one. Its for my girl. These will be tmobile phones in this decision which will be on simple mobile.
Right now i have the lg g2x which is unlocked/rooted/running hellfire 2.2 Rom GB 2.3.3 and i love it, battery life sucks though.
What do you guys think about htc 1s vs galaxy s2? Or should we get galaxy s3?

Since you're asking for a comparison to the HTC One S, seems you're asking about phones for T-mobile USA?
This particular model of Galaxy S2 is not the model for T-mobile USA, and will only get Edge mobile data speeds on that network.
I'm guessing you want to know about the SGH-T989 .

The galaxy s2 that i am referring to is in fact a tmobile phone. Im not sure why you are saying i will only get edge? Please explain, or can someone else confirm this?

As I said, the T-mobile USA Galaxy S2 is a different model. I linked the forum for that model above.
See wikipedia.
The i9100 (which this is the forum for: look at the top of the page) doesn't have the required antenna hardware to receive 1700 mhz UTMS, which is a required band for AWS. (the other frequency bring 2100mhz) T-mobile USA uses AWS for high speed mobile data.
So, the i9100 will only get Edge on T-mobile USA's network.
But if you don't believe me, just type "i9100 t-mobile edge" into google.

Ok i get what you are saying now. You scared me for a second there. I thought you meant "this model" as in the one i was referring to. Ok well while we are on the subject, isnt there something that can be done to the phones to switch the antennas like installing a new radio or something, or is it an actual physical piece of hardware that runs off different mhz to get 2g/3g/or 4g?

It's hardware. There is nothing you or anyone can do to the i9100 to get high speed on the T-mobile USA network with that phone.
If you want a Galaxy S2 model that gets high speed on T-mobile USA's network, you want the SGH-T989. I linked the forum for it above.
And back to your original question......
Get one S
Or S3..
do make sure one S is the Qualcomm S4 not the S3 with 1.7 GHz model.
HTC making one S with older processor after S4 shortage.
Hi... How to check if my galaxy s3 is activated for 4g-LTE network as in the country I work right now dont have 4g-LTE but it is going to launch the 4G-LTE in few months...
Unless you bought yours in Korea and it has more angular shape like the S2, I doubt you own an LTE version.
It hasn't been launched outside Korea.

Pretty sure the LTE models only have dual core processors in them.

USA LTE variants come with dual core
Korean LTE variant come with quad core
And both have 2Gb ram

It its model (Menu --> Settings --> About Device --> Model number) is GT-I9300, it's the international version and it's not an LTE device.
If it's SGH-T999, it's the US T-Mobile version, you're in the wrong forums, and it's not an LTE device also.
If it's SGH-I747, it's the US AT&T version, you're in the wrong forums, and it's LTE-enabled.
If it's SCH-R530, SCH-I535 or SPH-L710, it's one of the US CDMA versions, you're in the wrong forums, and it's LTE-enabled.
If it's SGH-N064 (SC-06D), it is the Japanese NTT DoCoMo version, you're in the wrong forums, and it's LTE-enabled.
Finally, if it's SHV-E210K/L/S, it is the Korean version, which is the only quad-core, 2GB, LTE-enabled model. And you're in the wrong forums.
I have international version..

If you have the i9300 than you only have HSPA+.. no LTE.. but its still 4G..(more like 3.5G to be technical) Now if you lived in the Korean market and manage to get your hands on a LTE version then you have LTE where the bands are supported..

Thanks I have international and I can receive H+
anyone seeen me?
I just got thebsprin gs3 4g lte model and I too want to know how can we manually turn 4g on or off or simply verify it's on 4g. My epic 4g had a friggin checkbox you could see it was checked or jot but the gs3 doesn't. Still love the phone so far with one major hit, no ability to kove apps to SD. Is it just ke or does that seem stupid? Anyone know of abway to get this functionality back without rooting and if rooting is needed what's the likelihood I'll brick my phone? Never rooted, scares me
Easy way to check is to use the speed test app, if you get more than 40mbs, there's a good chance that you're on a lte network with lte access. One of my mates has an i9300 GT, 1G ram but gets 54mbs, so I'm at a loss as to what's going on there. I did the speed test for him on Telstra's network in Tassie... Checked in settings and it does use lte...

I hv Korean s3 SHV-E210 L 2GB RAM and 25GB ROM and it only connects to GPRS and 3G!
I have Korean s3 SHV-E210 L and it only connects to GPRS and 3G. When I select WCDMA only the network keeps on dropping out. Please tell me whether my phone is 4g compatible? I even do not get H+ network in this phone. I had s2 and it was having a great H+ network but this s3 only receives 3g forcefully. It has got 4.1.2 custom , 2GB RAM and 25 GB ROM. And can I upgrade it to kitkat?
I am sick of slow internet please help. Thanks admin n all.
Thanks.
The E210L is not a good match for either European or American bands, as it's tailored to LG U+'s CDMA (3GPP2)-based network. It is a bit of a surprise that it even works on GSM, much less on 3G.
IIRC the E210K is recommended in Europe.

Korean s3 SHV-E210 L 2GB RAM and 25GB ROM and it only connects to GPRS and 3G!
I am in India and using Korean s3 LTE 2gb ram which doesn't receive H, H+. It only catches GPRS and forcefully 3G with an speed of maximum 1 mbps. I have contacted Telecom provider and am sure it's not there fault as apart from this phone other phones work perfectly fine. Please help me to improve the speed of my cell data internet as it can support Upton 21mbps. I am sick of slow internet and network dropouts. Thanks. ?
AFAIK India uses the same frequencies as Europe (same ITU region). So, you will likely need E210K or E210S (both GSM devices) to get 3g and 4g, not E210L, which is a CDMA phone. Not all Korean 4G S3s are the same.
Also, your SIM could be too old, or your APN settings wrong. However, it sounds like your device can only receive a less-used frequency band for 3g, with less than normal coverage - a common issue with LG U+ devices.

S3 Network issue! Slow internet!
I've S3 E210 L and when I check my APN settings it does have LTE option under Bearer but currently my Telecom provider doesn't support 4g. However they do provide 3G with a great speed. I hv used it on other mobiles and it works great . It's just this phone gets only G when selected GSM/WCDMA automode. When I manually select WCDMA only it gets 3G but very slow speed and it drops out very frequently. The maximum speed which I have received is around 1 mbps only.
Please provide me with a resolution how I can I get good bandwith/speed. ?
