This may be obvious but I shall ask anyway.
I have the AT&T Note flashed with the T-Mobile modem(test4.zip to be exact).
If I was to put an AT&T sim card in the phone, would the phone be able to connect to either 3G or 4G LTE?
I figured I would probably have to flash an AT&T modem, but was hoping for simplicity if I was to sell my Note for the TMO version.
No you would have to flash an AT&T radio back as you will only get Edge...

I am using a tmobile galaxy s2 on at&t network . I can flash a skyrocket radio to get lte bands ?

1. This isn't T-Mobile forums
2. This isn't Skyrocket forums
You have an Tmobile GSII but you want to flash a Skyrocket radio?
Im not even sure where to send this off to (back to Tmobile or the Skyrocket forums) so Im just going to close this and you can figure out where to read and ask.
Here is my issue. I am currently in the US. I might teach ESL overseas in Korea in January. I am not sure which phone to get. Will the USA one work over in Korea? Will thew international one work in the US?
It could work but Sprint has the radios locked.
Would developers be able to get them unlocked?
Buy international set

They propably can but the intl one supports more radio frequensies and is assembled to work worldwide so I'd buy it in any case rather than us version.

The international one works in the US flawless... just not on all carriers... it works the best on AT&T if you want to use it in the US and get 4G(HSPA+)
You can use it on T-Mobile but you will have to settle for EDGE(2G)

It would work on most carriers which uses the international frequencies.
Not just AT&T for US. Works with Rogers, Fido, Telus, and Bell Mobility in Canada for instance.

Just a side note, HSPA+ is not 4G. It's still 3G. LTE/WiMax is 4G.
so which companies will it work with 4g/lte? Will it not work with Sprint? Anyone know any deals for the international version?
Sprint (and Verizon) is on an old CDMA network while the majority of the world is on GSM, you know, operating with a SIM card. If you're set on travelling, it's better to get any of the GSM-variant, that way, you can just pop in any sim card from any major carriers all over the world.
I currently have a photon which has a sim card slot in it. So the Galaxy s international wont work on Sprint? Damn I want to keep my SERO plan lol. So where can I get an international verison from? Also would I have to pay full price for it?
Does the photon has an active sim card in it? I'm assuming no. I've never used a dual-mode phone before (nor am I familiar with how they operate on different networks), so I dont know the ins-and-outs on how to get it activate for a GSM carrier.
Damn, now i have a headache just trying to figure out how it works to have an intl GSM phone on a network that is predominantly CDMA whom happens to offer a dual-mode phone on their network
Call sprint problem solved

In 2010 the International Telecommunications Union redefined 4G to include HSPA+.

The SIM in the Photon is just for roaming. Sprint does not use SIM cards - even their LTE phones have them embedded rather than user-accessible.
As the Sprint Galaxy S III is not a 'global' phone - i.e. does not have both GSM/UMTS and CDMA radios - do not purchase it if you have any intention of using it outside the US. CDMA is no longer a global technology.
Confuses me a little that people spend so much on devices without checking what networks they support. Ho-hum.

if a nexus s3 puchased from verizon is purchased
then sim unlocked for use with tmobile
are the radios compatible with tmobiles 4g network speeds?
or is it a similar problem with the network only allowing edge similar to the iphone4s factory unlocked....

Won't work.
CDMA vs GSM.
Wait, what?? A nexus s3?

sorry about that ... but really it wont work?
Nope. Not unless the Verizon one has GSM radios inside.
Why don't you just get a tmo or at&t one or buy one straight up?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Hehe. Even if (hypothetically) it has a GSM radio in it,
and hasn't got a SIM slot....
So I got a att sim card for straight talk. I was wondering if I unlocked my phone and flashed the blaze radio and put in the tmo apns would I run on the tmo towers? I know you can get the tmo one but are they that much different?

I am on T-Mobile and generally run blaze modem, but I also tested straight talk at&t sim for a while. Here are my few obvervations -
1. I think that only at&t towers were being used by straight talk, even with blaze modem. The signal strength was different for each sim. I found at&t coverage in my area better. You need straight talk apn though, having blaze modem would make no difference. So you would need to switch apns if you swap sims (assuming you have two sims).
2. On straight talk the signal was the same regardless of the flashed modem - at&t modem or T-Mobile blaze. And again att.mvno apn was absolutely necessary.
3. However, despite the same signal strength, the blaze modem drained the battery a lot faster as compared to stock at&t ics modem. Even on wifi.
If you have T-Mobile sim card you may find top download speeds with blaze modem a lot faster. However, straight talk connection is more stable. Stability is everything. I hope you have good at&t coverage in your area as I would stick with at&t ics modem. In fact that is the best option, unless you also have a T-Mobile sim and plan to swap it sometimes. But even if you have both, please note the battery drain caused by blaze modem - may not be worth it.
So the blaze isn't stable?

Not as stable as Straight Talk. None of tmobiles modems are really perfect. Better than edge for anyone stuck on T-Mobile but not stable.

I don't think the radio from the ATT LGOG works with TMO LTE.
Is there anyway to flash another radio that would let u get 3g or 4g something other than Edge.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I just ordered this phone today so I can't speak from experience, but T-mobile LTE should work with the right settings. From what I've read the AT&T Optimus G (E970) has support for LTE on frequencies 700mhz and 1700mhz, T-mobile also uses 1700mhz for their LTE. Some areas in the US might let it get HSPA as well. If everything is unlocked and you're using a T-mobile SIM card then you should just need the correct APN settings. This link should help:

Hey - just went through this for an ATT i747 (Samsung Galaxy S3). Someone in the forum provided the Tmobile bootloader, modem and platform and att CSC. It ended up being what T-mobile used to tested their LTE network using ATT i747. Works great get 4G LTE. Figure will need the same type of code for the LG-E970 bootloader, modem, and platform. Still having to use ATT CSC.
On the other forum they offered up a bounty to get it done.
Could do the same thing.
You're the millionth person to ask. No, it won't work. Not going to bother pointing out why anymore. No tmo version of the lgog exists.
