I have the sprint S 3 but there's no 4gLTE in my area, would I be able to get the international version and use that on the sprint network? Cause lte is the reason you can't use the quad core right?

The international version doesn't have CDMA radios.

No no no, it won't work. Sprint uses CDMA radios, the international has GSM radios. You misunderstood.
Sprint is cdma but LTE is GSM technology. Just to complicate things.....

In much of the US CDMA coverage is superior to GSM coverage. I almost never do not have at least CDMA for voice. When I was with ATT on a GSM phone that was definitely not the case.
Well maybe TMobile is better. I find with Sprint. I only get service in about 60% of the places I go

Go over 5GB with your "unlimited" plan and your bumped down to WAP speeds on AT&T.

I dont think H means LTE.
H+ is for HPSA+ which is 4g (really it is 3.5g)
It should say LTE.
No..on aosp it's displayed as

Because it doesnt have the TMO radio band for TMO's HSPA+ (wait I forget this is the international section, are you talking about TMO US?) If It's TMO US that is why. the international doesnt have TMO's AWS band for their HSPA + so you will be stuck on 2G data speeds
Because the international S3 can only get 2g speeds on T-Mobile.
you can get hspa+ if you use it on at&t or if you are in one of the areas where T-Mobile has refarmed the 1900mhz frequency for 3g but I think I saw someone mention here yesterday that there are only 5 areas so far but they should be more widespread in the next few months.

No.
Its a hardware thing, not a software thing.
You have three choices, wait for 1900mhz to be refarmed to 3g in your area, change to at&t or put up with 2g speeds.
Simple as that really.

I can only imagine how you feel being stuck with that constantly, when I lose signal with my carrier (3 Ireland) it roams onto vodafone Ireland and I only get 2g speeds then, its unbearably slow.
When I was in America a few months back I got a tmo sim in new Orleans and had 3g speeds but when I went about 5 hours north I was roaming on at&t and they don't let you use data at all when roaming, a-holes!

T-Mobile doesn't use 1900Mhz for LTE, only AWS 1700Mhz.
Regardless the i717 doesn't support LTE over 1900Mhz.

I like the techie stuff. For instance, in that screenshot I can see that they're using Band 4 (AWS 1700/2100Mhz), LTE bandwidth is 5Mhz which tells me that the maximum possible download/upload speeds are 37mbps down / 12mbps up in that particular market, EARFCN 2175 means that they're using C block of the AWS spectrum which is 10Mhz slice (5Mhz used for downlink, and 5mhz for uplink).
Most consumers don't care about this kinda stuff, but I do
Thanks again!

As the topic says I am curious if anyone has made the switch to t-mobile and got everything working. There's a thread on the tmo forum about getting the AT&T variant working using QPST but they where asking for the QCN file from our version and I don't know if it's needed or if there's another work around. The AT&T/ TMO thread is here:

They do kind of just not that aws band. If you're in an area with the reframed towers you will 4g I'm not sure about there lte though.
I was only kind if joking though earlier. List your note on craiglist. I got 450 but sold within hours. Go to Walmart and pay 278 on contact with t mobile. Then call t mobile and mitigate your classic plan to a value plan for the 200 fee. You now have 60 a month and 478 for the phone.
