Hey I'm currently in Hungary and am only getting gprs servos(very slow) is there any way to tell if EDGE is available or if it's picking the wrong one?
Thanks.

I think EDGE depends on your carrier, if your carrier supports it you will get it automatically.
Regards.
Yes the SGS2 supports EDGE, the rest is up to the carrier.
Thanks alot. Just supprised that it wasn't available gprs is soooo slow.

Hi guys!
New to the forum. I'm about to purchase a Samsung Galaxy S2 in Hong Kong.
I was wondering if this phone will work on AT&T's network, namely their 3G and their 4G frequency. It'll be quite pointless to get this phone if I couldn't utilize it's speed.
Thanks!
Hello,
I am in Dilemma which fone to buy. BEcause i already have a samsung galaxy s2. But as i am heading to LA. I had a glance on few articles saying i cant use my galaxy s 2 in USA which has 4G network. Can't i use it in 3G..?? I mean we can use it for communication ie for answering calls, sms. But as far as data is concerned we cannot because it doesnot support 4G. I very much love my galaxy s2 but after having a look at galaxy s2 HD & LTE. I am eagerly waiting for those fones. Can anyone pl let me know where will i get those fones ?? If not samsung galaxy s2 International version...?? Should i buy from ebay..?? In this international version any carrier will work..??
My main confusion is which fone to go ? I need a fone which supports in INDIA/CHINA/USA 3G & 4G. Good specification like galaxy s2 + more features. pl help thanx in adv
Why won't your gs2 support data in the us, mine handles data and calls perfectly and as far as 4g goes the USA only has one true 4g operator and that is Verizon and from what I've seen their not going the route of galaxy s2 , but their going with the nexus so if your looking for a let galaxy s2 for use in the us good luck and when you find please let me know, don't know if they have released the bands yet I do stay in Atlanta and I heard AT&T turned on their lte so maybe those bands will work but I dont know
Now there are more operators in US which supports 4G. Like T-mobile, AT&T, Sprint....!! So my Question is if i buy one more galaxy s2 here in shanghai....will it work in USA(including call & data)...?? not 4G as GS2 supports only 3G.
Or
You prefer me to Buy a fone in US only which has a contract & most importantly they are 4G compatible..??
I dont mind using 3G data in my Shanghai GS2 rather than going for GS2 4G(contract one).
I cant wait till they release it so...!!
Else pl suggest me any good smart fone which can be used in INDIA/CHINA/USA calls & data..!! i think HTC ha good variants...!!
Waiting for reply guys........pl !!
Your galaxy S2 will work everywhere bro don't panic

MetroPCS? Will this phone (specifically the GT-I9100) even work on their network? I thought they were a CDMA carrier?
EDIT: hold up. You say "about to get Galaxy S2 I9100 switched over to metro"... does this mean you already have the phone and are switching to Metro? Or did you order the phone and are waiting for it to arrive, and plan to switch to Metro?
Your profile says you are on T-Mobile USA. If you ALREADY have a Galaxy SII on T-Mobile, you probably have the SGH-T989.
If you DON'T already have a Galaxy SII, and you've ordered the GT-I9100, and want full use of 3g/"4g", you will HAVE to go to AT&T or H2O, or any other GSM carrier that may be regional to your area that uses the same frequencies as AT&T. Or, you could stick with T-Mobile, but your mobile data speeds will be limited to Edge.
MetroPCS uses completely different cellular transmission technology, and the GT-I9100 will not even pick up a signal on their network for voice, let alone data.
EDIT 2: For that matter, if you have the T-Mobile variant (SGH-T989), that one won't work on Metro either, for the same reason.
Well it's both I'm picking up the phone after work and I plan to get it flashed to Metro. I was told that the phone is the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100. I'm doing it for my girl who already has Metro. I have seen other user selling Galaxy S2 already on Metro so I know for a fact that they have the Web & MMS working, I just cant find it for myself! Thanks for the reply by the way!

Who ever told you "Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100" is wrong. There is no such thing.
The I9100 is the international model that operates on GSM.
If it's from Sprint, they meant the "SPH-D710", not "I9100".
You are better off asking in this forum. Someone there may have experience flashing a Sprint variant to Metro.
It's not very likely that anyone here in the I9100 forums is going to be able to help you, sorry.
I think he posted the wrong model>>>>> What Carrier has Galaxy S2 model I9100???? I think sprint model is Sphd710!
Thanks for the Help!!!!

If he said it's flashable to Metro, then yes, he got the model wrong.
NO carrier in the US carries the I9100. It is the international model. But like I said, it works on AT&T for voice and 3g/"4g" (which is what I'm using), and T-mobile USA for voice and Edge.
hi i live in us and was wondering if the international galaxy s3 will work on att hspa+ with enhance backhaul?i just want to be sure before i buy.Att has hspa,hspa+,and hspa+ with enhanced backaul, will all 3 work on galaxy s3?
Yes it will work. I think there may be another question in there but without any puctuation its hard to tell.
Hi guys,
I bought Samsung galaxy S3 from Korea unlocked, (SHV-E120S), I am trying to use the LTE in UAE however, it seems SKT Korean telecom company locked the LTE, we have the same LTE frequinces here, I have tried to use hidden menus in order to choose the proper options to switch LTE on, however no hope.
Can any one would advice me please?
There's a new update for it...you can also dial 319712358 and password is 996412. Hope this helps.
Is 4G LTE working for you now?
