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.
Has anyone found or is there working Wifi Tether for the Sprint Samsung Galaxy SII?
Model: SPH-D710
My phone is rooted
Best to check the sprint SGS2 (called epic 4G i believe?) section instead of the i9100.
Hi,
i want to purchase a Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 it's from T-Mobile will it work with Fido, Rogers or Bell (all same).
Don't want to purchase and figure out that it does not work at all.
I travel all over the world but my Samsung galaxy SII (Sprint) doesn't work outside the U.S.
Is there a software/MOD I can install it to make it work outside the U.S.
Thank you!

You're asking in the wrong forum. This is the forum for the international Galaxy SII, the GT-I9100. It is a GSM phone. It does not even work on Sprint's network.
Sprint Galaxy SII is the Epic 4G Touch. It is a CMDA phone. It has a separate forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281
cdma phoes will not work moutside of your provider because they are locked to sprint only.
You need a GSM varient to have a world phone.
Hello,
I have Galaxy II with Tmobile data plan. I just switched the phone to Galaxy III 9300 international version, which is a gift from my brother...
I mananged to cut the current tmobile sim card smaller and put in the 9300. I am able to make the call, but cannot enable the 4G data connection.
Just wonder will 9300 version will work with tmobile 4g network. should I need to upgrade or change the android software to make it works?
Thanks
