T-Mobile US - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to make it work with US T-Mobile 3G? Would custom ROM do the trick or is it hardware that does not support TM 3G band?
I am dying to get this puppy. Any pointers?

No, the phone doesn't have the right bands for T-Mobile US. It's either you live with EDGE or you wait for their variant.

Thanks. I need 3/4g so I guess have to wait for US release.
Any ideas when it may happen and for which career(s)?

Announcement is on the 29th, the rest of the information of when it will be release will follow after that. Most likely the phone will be released around September on Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile soon following.

29th of what???

This month lol.

I just got Hot spot for my phone (tmobile usa), because get tired of edge
and I will never gonna buy US release...(just because tegra2)
+ better wait Nexus 3

Why bother with this phone when running on Edge? Or who cares about tegra 2 or nexus 3? All I need is a next gen phone with awesome vibrant shape and same it better screen. And that is S2. I am not gonna wait cause I might get older enough to start using dumb phone again with quarter size keypad buttons. Get a life!

I like your drawing furball. A rather artistic rendering of your phone. I see you got the white one as I did. Wasn't sure I'd like it as all my other phones were either black or dark grey but I do like it. It really stands out.
Speaking of standing out, I took a call at the store last night and no apple fanbois jumped out to heckle me for holding a tablet to my ear:,(

Not to sound like a total tool, but why are you posting about getting the S3 here? I mean I get it, it's cool to get the newest tech and I do it too, but shouldn't this belong over with the S3 users?

I know right.
To the OP, this ain't Facebook. But if i was offered an International S3 for my note...i'd do it in an instant.
For dissenting opinion, I wouldn't do it.
Dropping down in screen size and no LTE internet speed?
Now, check in when Note II hits. GS3 is nice but doesn't seem to offer a whole lot that's unique.
Me too but I would sell it and rebuy a new note while making a nice profit to put towards the note 2

Well the note is an awesome phone..once the note 2 comes out then ill move on..there's nothing with moving on..

Losing 4G signal (T-Mobile)

So I just got myself a new GS3 and everything seems to be working great except my phone goes to Edge where I should be getting 4G. My brothers GS2 is sitting next to mine and he's got full 4G. I'm fully stock and not rooted. Any ideas?

You sure you're not holding it in a death grip? Just playing, how many bars does your brother get in 4G mode? If he's rooted, he probably has a custom modem so that could be the difference. or you're antenna is just crap.
Lol were both stock and not rooted atm. He had I think two bars at 4G and I had full 3 bars on Edge. It's been on 4G since that but if it keeps doing it I'm gonna go and exchange it or it may be a software issue that a OTA will resolve

New hidden world clock feature - ANDROID'S NEWEST EASTER EGG!

Ok first things first, I have a AT&T Samsung GS2 Skyrocket (US). Updated it a few months ago to the long awaited but crappier ICS; left lots of GB crumbs........ Anyways, may or may not work on other devices, but tried on Samsung Galaxy S3 and it worked also (both of which are on the ICS boat):
* Pull down the notification bar. Double-tap your regular ol' analog clock on the top right. *
BOOM - World clock pop-up like the one you'd find on Android's new tablets! Somewhat irrelevant use for me, but still a new Android Easter Egg!!!!
I might be coming late to the party & I've just never heard of this, or I might of just discovered something new. But I have to give thanks to the 3 yr old who managed to make it appear and who, ultimately, managed to make my jaw drop... SMH kids these days
G'day or night
