T-Mobile questions? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I just got this phone today using it on T-Mobile I was wondering is it possible to get wifi calling working on it like the Samsung Infuse 4g? Also I know it only gets 2g on T-Mobile but what about straight talk

1. Im sure it is possible. through apps.
2. If straight talk has the same frequency as this phone, then Yes it would get 3g.

Ohk I'll search more for a thread

Any suggestions

T-Mobile got some bands back from the government, seen people reporting 3g speeds with other ATT Samsung phones. Might be worth checking to see what's planned for your area. Or Google T-Mobile bands, they are saying HSPA+ by the end of the year.

Is anybody having issues with root? Every time I flashed the rooted kernel my back and home buttons do not work unless I flash a custom rom is this normal

Yep, thats normal when you flash a i9100 kernel on an i777.
So, dont do that?

Where can I find rooted kernel for i777

Wait, wtf is this thread about?! You've got an at&t phone running on T-Mobile... why not just trade the i777 for the T-Mobile variant? Oh, and I believe straight talk is Verizon... could be wrong.
Just curious.

I believe there's a straight Talk option for either at&t or t mobile bands

Google... If you're interested. Also, they use multiple carriers towers. If you've got an AT&T or T-Mobile phone, you can find more info in the link below.
I'll stick to AT&T for now.

So what is the next option if you like samsung phones. Droid Charge or Galaxy S II (If it ever makes it to verizon).
If it makes u feel better its not a noob question imo jus cuz wen I bought my fascinate way back wen it came n the guy at verizon told me 4g would be backwards compatible n that I would have it wen it came out... Guess they were as informed about 4g at the time as they were bought the new froyo 2.2 w flash that was goin 2 be released at the end of that month lol.... Verizon reps suck

No SMS MMS

I just got my galaxy s2 yesterday, rooted, and flashed a few different roms. I can get calls and internet but I can't send or receive texts or mms. I called customer support and they were clueless. All my apn settings seem to be ok. I'm not sure what the problem could be.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
A little more info would be helpful. What rom are you on now and did SMS/MMS work on any of the ones you installed? If so, when did it stop working?
I just installed Mac os on my laptop. Why doesn't the wifis and touch pad werkz?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
I never tried sending any texts pre-root. I only noticed the trouble once i had already rooted and flashed lite'ning, cm7, and unnamed. SMS/MMS didn't work under any of those roms. I'm on unnamed right now. This is the sixth android device I've rooted and I've never had a problem like this. All the apn setting are correct, i assume. I've checked them on a couple of different forums.
Put your sim in another phone and see if it works then.

Try SMS message center from within the messaging app.
I think the numbers are regional, mine is +13123149810, you may need to call att for the correct number in your area.
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
Take it back 100% to stock and see if you're still having issues. If it is working you'll be better able to figure out where it messed up when you go to flash another rom.

I took it to an AT&T store today. I was able to use SMS/MMS once they gave me a new sim card. Don't know why I didn't think of that before. Oh well, thanks for the responses!

I'm thinking of going to Straight Talk from AT&T. So you are using the AT&T sim you got from Straight Talk, right? Not AT&T? Does the phone have to be unlocked? It's my understanding it does not. Is everything exactly the same as on AT&T service? (That might be a dumb question.)
Damn I want straight talk now.

U buy a straight talk sim from the online store. The phone has to be be an att phone or a world phone like a galaxy nexus or international note. Everything is the exact same as att IMHO. Just no lte.

Me too T-Mobile speeds suck. But is expected. But I have 5GB UNLIMITED and am no where near the brink. I need my 4g speeds I only use my phablet for data and skype to make calls.

Which would be the cheapest route? I just want data.

Is Straight Talk a good at&t Alternative?Other Carriers?

Im on t-mobile and this constant data drops and crappy signal in my house and everywhere u go is intolerable. I really don't wanna sign a contract but heard.good things about straight Talk. So i need advice or current user input on this matter. Or recommend me to something worth checking out. Thank you.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
StaightTalk seems pretty good for at&t users who want to change carriers with minimum fuss. Your at&t note won't need any rom or modem flashing. But, you will have to unlock it and manually input the APN settings.

It runs on AT&T's HSPA network. So it's the same as that. You won't get LTE though. That currently only for AT&T.

Just order a sim card online...I'm currently on ST n its got fast data speeds n good coverage
If you have an AT&T phone and plan on using ST AT&T then you don't need to unlock your phone! I'm using the GNote on straight talk AT&T without it unlocked.

What if

I was researching the sgs2 skrocket and the original sgs2 and seen the biggest difference is the skyrocket has lte capability. My question what will happen if I flash a skyrocket Rom on my sgh-I77? Will it even boot and what the odds that I can gain lte capabilities on original sgs2?

Do not flash a skyrocket rom on your i777. I'm not gonna flame u or write a huge paragraph about it. Just don't. For numerous reasons. U will not get LTE.

Thank you for the info. I'm not a complet noob,I was asking because I had a captivate and you could flash sg-I9000 Rom and gain a couple feature captivate roms didn't have. I was wishing this be same situation.

the 2 phones arent even similar....
flashing a rom from a completely different device wouldnt automatically give you an LTE radio....that piece of hardware that is NECESSARY for LTE to work.
