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

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?
I am currently with us cellular and have the samsung aviator. us cellular is the only 4g lte carrier in my area and will be the only one for a long time. I love the 4g lte speeds, its crazy fast, but the phone leaves a lot to desire. My question is, if I buy the rezound out right, and put the 4g lte sim card into the rezound, will it be able to use the us cellular towers and their frequencies?
Thanks in advance
I don't think it's that easy.
I'm pretty sure it's not that easy.
I'm also sure there's some tinkering with the data settings you'd have to do, assuming their SIM even fits in the Rezound.
Good chance the frequencies they use for lte are different too, so I highly doubt it, but unless the Samsung you have uses a micro sim, the sim card will fit just fine, they've been the same for years.

The LTE network isn't the same frequency. Just wait until Verizon has 4g in your area.

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if the HTC Evo 4G LTE would work on the verizon network.
I really like the phone, I just don't like Sprint...
I also haven't been able to find any verizon phone that is comparable to the HTC Evo 4g LTE.
Anyways thanks for your help!
You can force your phone to roam to there 3g towers, but I hear that eventually after so much roaming...sprint will kick u off their network. As for 4g lte, their frequency is 700 (or 800 can't remember exactly) and sprints is 1900, so that's just not compatible.

i heard this too but their website still has metroflash even if i can go to them is it possible
easiest way to pay someone to add the MEID/ESN to their network for you, then tool around in QPST to program the settings and PRL you'll need to be on their network.
You won't get LTE/4G without a SIM, I'm not sure if that's even possible for non-Metro phones. Should be though...
I had someone flash mine to metro and I don't know how they did it, but I'm assuming he changed the MEID/ESN... Anyways, here are my 3G speeds in Sacramento

Has anyone seen there att one x + pick up 3g ? I ask because I have never seen mine say 3g only lte 4g edge g-for gprs but that's it. I don't want to be on 3g for good but it would be nice if my phone would connect to 3g in areas where I only get edge or gprs and a iPhone sitting next to me has 3g why is this ? Any ideas ?

Could just be the indicator doesn't change. I have a 3g microcell in my house (long story) which I don't believe is even 4g capable and my HOX+ still says its 4g. Doesn't really bother be either way, I still get better signal strength than I did with my iPhone 4.

Us Haas thinkin 4g and 3g ate the same since 4g is just 3.75 3g w/ enhanced backhaul. So pretty Much any time I see 4g symbol its really a 3g tower just all of them in my area have backhaul so I never see 3g symbol.
Please correct me if im wrong

The 4g is a 3g back hauled hspa+ system it gives better speed than reg 4 g its marketing I assure you but most likely 4g. Is the back hauled hspa+
remember the HTC inspire 4g and the galaxy s2 both had the 4g hspa+ radios and it was marketed as 4g

Marketing Signal Indicators
I can confirm that in my area with a Nexus 4, the phone will switch between H (3G) and H+ (4G) AT&T HSPA and HSPA+. With the One X+ however, it will only display 4G LTE, 4G, and E. Also, Viper XL+ lets you flash the stock international signal indicators which display LTE, H+, H, and E in my area. The decision to only include the 4G HSPA signal indicator is most likely a marketing decision.
