Does the Xperia S support 4G when it comes out?
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
Off course not
For 4g you need a phone capable for that and xps is not

The funny thing is that in the software in the S LTE can be enabled, but there is no LTE hardware.
Type *#*#4636#*#* then select phone info scroll down and where is says (on my phone) wcdma preferred you can select the radio bands incl LTE.
When i set my phone to LTE preferred nothing happens and i stil have wcdma reception

Guys,
I am about to received my SGS 2 tomorrow.
I am in Australia on a 850mhz 3g (read not GSM) network (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_G)
I know the phone supports this band, but I see some region firmwares floating around and am wondering if ALL firmwares support this band? Or is firmware specific.
Thanks guys.
Im on VR1.1 with everything else stock and next g is cool with me. Preordered from UK so mines from release.

Can I ask how you know your on Next G and not just 3g?
You can use non 850mhz Bands with Telstra and get std 3g.
Well im just assuming. But where i live all my family get 1bar with optus/3/voda whereas i get full bars. If u have a way for me to check ill have a look

not really sure how to check, the best I could figure out is install Network Info II and check network type
Should be HSDPA/UMTS?
I cant seem to find any tool to tell you exact frequency the phone is using.
It is not firmware dependent (If someone buys a Vodaphone branded SGS2 it is still going to work with NextG, but it will probably just be SIM locked). NextG is HSPA noted by the 'H+' symbol. When I was on Three is was just 'H' which is HSPDA.
If you dial *#*#4636#*#* and go phone information -> menu key -> Select Radio Band -> AUS2 Band
AUS2 is NextG 850Mhz, so if you get internet access on that, it is running NextG. The Phone Information section will also tell you your current network protocol also. If it is reporting UMTS then click the 'run ping test' button, it will flick over to HSPA
Hspa when data is being used
Umts when data is inactive

Also just rum some speed tests and you'll know if you're on 3g or HSDPA.

thanks guys.
Once it has charged I will put SIM in and test all this, very excited as moving from my HTC Desire
Sorry to dig this post up from the grave, but I'm about to move my SGSii to Telstra, as well.
I was wondering if you found benefit to these changes, and if you've changed anything further since.
Have you found any particular ROM/modem to be better (either in reception or battery life) than others.
And, finally, what sort of battery life do you get? I get about 14 hours before I have to plug it in, but I get terrible reception at work (I'm currently on 3), so I'm thinking that might have something to do with it.
Thanks heaps.
I can get a new in box Atrix for free, but i'm on sprint network.
it there any way at all i can unlock and use it ?
i do know some older windows HTC phones sprint had, used sim cards.
i would love to use this phone but what all will be involved if it can be done.
No different network types sprint is cdma att gsm

WCDMA != CDMA. WCDMA is 3G GSM. CDMA is well CDMA.

WCDMA is not the same as CDMA. Its basically the standard for GSM 3G, and while similar to CDMA, there are enough differences that they are incompatible. Even if it did work, you wouldn't be able to call or text anyone and as a GSM phone there's no ESN so the network wouldnt recognize it anyway.
Actually worth, thinking about it....if you can find the firmware for sprint for Motorola Atrix 4G w
Atrix --> *#*#4636#*#*, go into phone info and see Atrix support for WCDMA, GSM, CDMA and EvDo

There is no firmware as the HARDWARE does not support CDMA. The only thing you could get working with a firmware update that does not work is T-Mobile 3G since the qualcomm mdm6200 modem chip in our phone supports petaband WCDMA. Now finding firmware to do this has proven impossible for me since there are other things included in the firmware that are different between phones and there is no T-Mobile Motorola equivalent to the atrix.
To sum up. Inorder for firmware support you need HARDWARE supper also.

I know that but it sure beats goin into the dialer and inputing all that crap
Pretty sure that you shouldn't mess with these.
I remember reading on here from on of the mods or developers that doing this prevents the phone from automatically switching between the different bands and the only way to restore the auto switch functionality was to ruu.

Looking at my gs3 secret menu it shows band wcdma1700(fdd IV) on the band selection menu. Does anyone have an idea why is there or for what pupose? Any toughts anyone?
Here is a pic.

Pretty sure its just a generic code that is in every build even when the phone doesn't have it. If you do *#*#4636#*#* and scroll down (in radio settings) there are also settings for LTE, which the i9300 obviously does not have.

You can access that menu from battery monitor widget. Click on tests. I can't get to it from the secret code either.

is it possible to set the phone on 3G only?
In network setting you have the option to change network mode.
3G is not available on the menu?

The only available option is global, LTE/CDMA, GSM/UMTS. I can't find WCDMA
Use GSM/UMTS.

Assuming you have the VS980, setting it to "Global" will cause your phone to only pick up 3G.

If I don't have 4G my phone drops down to 3G. but the problem when i go to a crowded area with good 4G signal my phone will not drop to 3G. so I'm stuck with 4G with 0.10Mbps speeds. so i wanted to use verizon 3G at least I will get 2Mbps

LTE will work on both modes.Global would switch depending on the sim card inserted.If GSM/UMTS is selected, select Network operators from the SETTINGS section,Search networks .if network found select either manually or automatically...
then go back-select network mode from GSM/UMTS menu..hope this will help......

i got that problem too..
it depends of the bands that your ROM had.
In my case, I have got a g2 ls980 from sprint and the bands are different that here in Portugal...
So I´m stucked without LTE.
Any help?
are you sure you have 3G coverage in your area?

Just tried out the *#*#4636#*#* LTE only setting and now I have 4 bars of LTE. If I switch it back to the default setting it goes right back to 4 bars of 3G. WTF LG? I thought my provider was bad.

As far as I know, some providers block this menu and other hidden menus.
Maybe you can find the setting in one of these menus: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2523252
I can't try them out to find the right one for obvious reasons
