Currently running 4.2.1 though cyanogenmod. Just unlocked the phone. Need help with a signal problem. Was told by T-Mobile that I was covered with 4g (H+ on my phone) where I live. Yet when I get home or even 4 miles outside of the downtown area (Portland, OR), I go back to EDGE service. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Does the straight talk version support the freq tmo uses for 3g?

I did, but they didn't have many suggestions. They said I'm supposed to have 4g coverage yet I'm sitting on Edge.
Hmmm T-Mobile usually uses a different freq for 3g than att does.

YOU CAN'T. the only way you can get h+ is in an area that has the 1900 mhz band, and that's not that many places. You can't change the phones hardware. Here's a suggestion, don't use an AT&T phone on t mobile.

Does this have anything to do with the phone listed in the title, SGH-S959G?

It's a straight talk i777 so it's compatible with our roms, and also has the same bands available.

wait a minute. the SGS2 is being sold unlocked already from most places. so if you buy one it will just work on tmobile USA, just pop in your sim and go. however the SGS2 will not support tmobile USA 3G so you will only be stuck on EDGE/2G. nothing can change that.

nope. TMobile US has modified 3G as their 4G (HSPA+). I believe it is the same band as 3G (HSPA/UMTS)... but I could be wrong.

no that wont work either unless the phone is specifically made for tmobile usa 3g bands. when the USA versions come out, they are already confirmed for ATT, verizon, etc, but no tmobile. none of those versions will work on tmobile.
this has alreayd been covered, and the only choice you have is the samsung Hercules coming in place of the SGS2 to tmobile.

No it wont, the vibrant had one of att 3g bands so it could partially work on att. The galaxy s2 has NONE of T-Mobile bands, so it wont work period. It just wont work man no matter how many times you ask. Search the forum this has already been covered in depth.

The i777 doesn't have the bands for Simple Mobile's 3g. I'm pretty sure you'll just be stuck with EDGE.

Our phone should be supported. I mean they have the international version ours should work on there faux 4g.
Are they a T-Mobile reseller or AT&T reseller? If TMo, no 3G for you.

WCDMA 850 / 1900 / 2100.. this is the spec for the radiio part supoporting your 3g/4g magic.. that 1900 is no good cause tombile is 1700... 100% non-compatible unless you get a world phone...
Mine is the AT&T one. Yeah, simple mobile said if it's not supported then it will only work with EDGE. I wish there's another way of 'tricking' the network that you have the band that they support.

So you think you should be able to trick the network into thinking you have hardware that you don't? For what purpose? I mean you still wouldn't have the physical hardware required.

dude, you are trying to figure out a way to trick the network into seeing something THE PHONE DOESNT HAVE, which is HARDWARE to support the frequencies...
so lets throw some logic in this shall we?
EVEN if you could trick the network into thinking you had the hardware, your HARDWARE wouldnt be able to utilize the network speeds......so what would the purpose be?

What? Simple Mobile is a T Mobile virtual network operator reseller. They are in no way affiliated with AT&T or do they support AT&T frequencies. No wonder you're trying to "trick" the network into thinking its a different phone.

I'm just asking a question if it's possible to get 3G speeds. I'm new to the forums and still learning the aspects of my phone and the network. Too harsh..but thanks anyways.
It wasn't just a question, it was a seriously stupid question. Like asking if there's a pair of glasses you can wear that will make a Prius look like a Corvette. Sorry, but it just isn't possible. You can't spoof the network into thinking your phone has hardware it doesn't. Are you getting that yet?

Hmm, I thought I did. I guess it didnt fully engage. Oh well, its closed now.
I'm thinking of buying a used one of these off craigslist ... but I'm on tmobile and I'm worried that I won't be able to unlock it without having an AT&T account first .... Can I unlock one of these without having an AT&T account? Most steps I've read talk about downloading an unlocker program from the market ... but without an AT&T sim card in the phone I don't think I'll be able to access the market ...
What do you all think?
You don't have to have cell network to connect to a wifi and log into market. You will need to root it also before those apps will work. Just fyi though. You will NOT get 3g/4g on T-Mobile

3g/4g only involve data speeds, right? I have wifi at home and at work and do not use a data plan ... So I can root and then unlock on my home wifi without any AT&T account?
I see no reason you can't. I have done lots of phones that way.

Good afternoon xda members I was wonder if any of you have had this problem with with your Samsung GS3 Unlocked Int'l. I bought one off of Amazon and the phone works fine (popped in my sim can get phone calls and all that). The only problem is I can't get 3g/HSPA+ on the handset. The best that I've gotten is EDGE. I am with Cincinnati Bell Wireless and have already put in the appropriate apn settings into the phone. If there is anyone out there with this similar problem whether you are on Cincinnati Bell or any other GSM carrier feel free to shoot any suggestions.

Reboot the phone and let the phone register on the network. The APN should be in the phone database. In case its not, which would be impossible with a stock rom, you can enter it, and be sure to SAVE it.
Right now I'm using the phone apn I have rebooted the phone many times I actually would like to know when I put it to only lyrics in the phone info menu it still shows as hspa

HSPA = 3G/4G Kind of strongest signal available.
On TouchWiz firmware:
E=2g
3g=3g
4g=hspa
4g lte= lte the strongest signal.
Aosp:
E=2g
3g=3g
H=hspa
4g= lte
