Can you use the Samsung Galaxy SII on Tmobile..they are both gsm..if so...does it get 3g and 4g on tmo....i like the look and feel of the att version better than tmos....thanks
You will get voice, txt, and edge data but no 3g. TMo uses a different frequency band than att

As tony said, everything works but you only get edge speeds. I know because I am on T-Mobile. Its fine for web browsing and such, but don't expect any HQ YouTube.
Wish i had 3g at least, could care less about 4g, because i like the ATT version the best of the sgs2's. I knew this would happen before i bought it though. Maybe the merger will go through?

Just to expand on the others comments, that phone you mentioned has: Frequencies 850/900/1900/2100 (Quad band), whereas T-Mobile needs both 1700 and 2100. You need both because they use one for uploading and another for downloading.

Dude,
It works very well! I have the AT&T Note... I unlocked it ($25 on ebay, I prefer this method as the seller has a reputation to protect). I then had it rooted, then flashed over to T-Mobile (http://rootgalaxynote.com/).
I did a test on the $30 - 1,500 minute plan (only 30 megs of data) to see how it works. I did this before flashing the modem and the 2G/Edge doesn't work well at all for the Note. However, after flashing the modem, it screams on TMO's 4G.
Good luck to you, but flash it and don't look back!

But just as a heads up, the exynos chip in the international version is not LTE equipped. So, if you get the international model it won't work on Tmobile's 4g bands even if you flash/hack/pray to the cell gods or anything else to your phone.

I'm not totally sure but, I believe if you get the international it will work on tmobile's hspa+. You shouldn't have to get the AT&T version if you just want to use the phone on tmobile and, are ok without LTE. Hspa+ is still very fast.

T-Mobile doesn't even have LTE so it doesn't make a difference.
The AT&T Note is the only one that works with T-Mobile 4G which again, is not LTE.
Also, no the international version does NOT get T-Mobile hspa +.
The international version ONLY gets EDGE on T-Mobile.

yes sorry WCDMA , and they only give me 137.80 for it :/ not enough for a used galaxy.
I'm confused what the GSM galaxy nexus will offer over the GS II. Don't they both use the same HSPA+ / WCDMA frequencies, if you get the GSM version?
Regardless I think you will be extremely lucky if you can find a way to swap a Galaxy S II for a Galaxy Nexus. If you ever do find a way that by some miracle gets you a GSM Galaxy Nexus for a i777 straight over, do let us know.
XDA does have a marketplace forum for buying, selling, and trading.

I don't have a CDMA network to use the phone right now its just sitting there. I have verizon thus my need for a GSM phone. I know it does but with the new restrictions I cannot post or even look at the forum :/
I think your confused. You cant use any GSM phone on Verizon. Unless maybe its unlocked? Verizon is CDMA. Along with Sprint. GSM can be used with ATT and T Mobile. i777 is for ATT. Unless you have the International version i9100. Then you should be able to put a T Mobile sim in it.

Yes, you need a CDMA/LTE Galaxy Nexus for Verizon. The i777 will not work on Verizon.
None of AT&T's LTE phones will work on Verizon, even if unlocked. What AT&T calls 4G that isn't LTE, their HSPA+, is also referred to as WCDMA, plus their 3G is called WCDMA, but its not CDMA like Verizon or Sprint. If that wasn't confusing enough both AT&T and Verizon use 700 MHz LTE, but they are not using the same section of the 700 range so they are not interoperable. Unlike EDGE (2G) that is interopeable on AT&T vs T-Mobile. And some regions of AT&T and T-Mobile use the same 3G frequencies, so some 3G phones have limited functionality on both GSM networks.
Basic rule of thumb, for best results get a phone specifically made for your carrier.

These phones aren't going to sell for nearly what they could a few months ago sadly. U can grab one for almost nothing nowadays by signing up for new contract. I got mine for a hundred. But u see them for as low as 25 bucks.

Like the thread says, I'm just wondering if after i unlock a Samsung Galaxy Note 4G LTE so that i can use it on my network, if it'll downgrade to HSPA+ or keep the 4G LTE
Nothing will change unless you flash a radio that does not support lte but even then you could just flash the stock radio again.

Do a speed test ... if you see 32Mb download then you are on LTE, HSPA mode will hover around 6Mb.

Hey guys...Im doing a favor for a friend...he just got the I777 rooted ...but he wants to use it for Tmobile...what do i need to change for it to work with a custom rom...and then again can i port a rom from the tmobile S2 ...just modem?any input would be appreciated..
Edit:i have the E4GT on sprint...so i'm not really familiar with the gsm models...
While I should say use the search bar, all the information I've found is pretty outdated regarding this.
The simple answer is that you probably can't get it to work, at least not 3G/4G, if Edge is fine then you can unlock the phone with "Galaxy S Unlock" in the play store, just follow the directions listed, it's pretty simple.
The extended answer:
You might be able to depending on where you are. T-Mobile generally uses the 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz bands for 3G/4G, but the i777 doesn't use the 1700 MHz bands, instead it can use either 850, 1900, 2100 MHz bands for 3G/4G. However in preparation for LTE and just to increase bandwidth across 3G/4G they are starting to take some of their 1900 MHz spectrum from their edge networks and move it to 3G/4G/LTE. This has just started happening very recently and is currently in very few markets, however you may be in one of those, it is still expanding if you aren't but it may take a while. The only way you could know is if you took a T-Mobile sim card and put it in an unlocked i777 and if you get 3G/4G then you are good, otherwise you are stuck with Edge.

The S2 for ATT doesn't support 3g for T mobile and vice versa. There could be some weird instance as mentioned above where it could work but in most cases it won't.

Mostly true, T-Mobile's S2 should work with AT&T's network, you may have to flash a new radio but theoretically it should work.
You cannot port a T-Mobile ROM because T-Mobile does not have a similar gs2. The T-Mobile gs2 is the twin brother to the skyrocket
