Hi I red a thread about the T-mobile s2 having lte capable speeds and when I installed the skyrocket kernel my phone (Koodo S2X SGH-T989D) i had no service and my sim was inserted, but for other users using tmobile s2 it worked and now im stuck with no service
I would like to keep the skyrocket kernel because of LTE speeds

Hi guys!
New to the forum. I'm about to purchase a Samsung Galaxy S2 in Hong Kong.
I was wondering if this phone will work on AT&T's network, namely their 3G and their 4G frequency. It'll be quite pointless to get this phone if I couldn't utilize it's speed.
Thanks!
would i get 3g or 4g on a unlock samsung galaxys2 i9100 using a tmobile sim??
US or UK?
You get Edge speeds with US tmobile. (a lot slower than 3G)
i have us tmobile, anything i can do to get better frequency
I was told that I can put either a at&t or Verizon sim card in my sh s2 and get LTE service would it be 3 or 4 g?

I believe you were told wrong. Verizon doesn't use SIM cards, and I don't think the T-mobile Galaxy S2 gets the right frequencies to get high speed mobile data on ATT's network.
EDIT: my mistake. I guess Verizon DOES use SIM cards now. I didn't know that. But I doubt they use the same frequencies. And also, Verizon's voice network is still a CDMA network, whereas T-mobile's voice network is GSM. Different tech, so you wouldn't get voice.
One more thing: this isn't the forum for the T-mobile Galaxy S2. (that's here)
This is the forum for the GT-I9100, the international version of the Galaxy S2.
I'm going to assume this is the same variant at AT&T in the US, I know the frequencies for 3g and LTE are the same in most other phones...
Hello Everyone
I don't know if this has been asked before, but I searched and found no answers. Basically, Me and my dad want to switch from Rogers to Mobilicity (which uses the 1700/2100 frequency), so we went to the mobilicity store and tried my dad's galaxy s2 lte (rogers version) with the mobilicity sim card, and the phone didn't detect mobilicity's network (it goes into Rogers roaming mode i think). So I started looking around, and I found this advertisement on Kijiji Calgary about modifying the S2 LTE to work with Mobilicity's frequency. So, Is there a way I can convert/modify the phone by myself to work with the AWS 1700/2100 frequency? I assume the phone has to be rooted first if such thing is possible?
Thanks!
I don't think so as it's HW related.

i have the tmobile version (SGH-T989) flashed to the Rogers radio... and now i'm able to connect to RoBelLus
and when i'm fed up w/ their high prices, I can just flash back a Tmobile radio and go with Wind/Mobilicity
it works for the ATT Skyrocket & Tmobile version of the S2 ... i'm not sure if it will work with the Rogers one... do some research, you should be able to do it
PM me if you some help researching... if i can't get u the answers, i might be able to guide you to the right threads
