Hi guys I have been getting slow speeds, on my 4g galaxy s is really slow the top is 0.12mbps beyond that it can't even touch 0.13, is something wrong with the radio?, i called my service provider and they said that my service was fine and it could be a problem with the phone. The phone is brand new and it started a couple of days ago, they also say it may be a problem with the towers in my area. It has to do with the phone I think because the tower cant be bad for days
are you on stock or a custom rom?
have you tried a different modem driver?
Why did you make 2 threads with the same question?
Also, go over to the galaxy s 4g section, as that is your phone and more people can help you. This is the vibrant 3g section.

you have to buy an unlock code from an unlocker online, usually around 25 bucks. Start there, get it unlocked so it can recognize a T-Mobile Sim.

1/ The "NOT COMPATIBLE" issue(s) have to do with phone's freq. bands compatible with T-Mobile as a carrier operates on...etc
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...e-3g4g-hspa-on-your-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717/
2/ The unlocking paid service is only a "SIM UNLOCK" that let you be free of choice of carriers.
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...our-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717-bellrogerstelus/
~~~
Point #1:
having a compatible freq. is only the start, at what freq. each individual carrier operates at what speed is another thing... hence the GNOTE is compatible for T-Mobile but NOT necessarily getting the 3G, 4G, LTE, the way the phone is designed for... to some, it matters... to others, the beautiful screen just blinded them from other considerations.
Point #2:
applies to all phones ( you have to know your phone's limitation before you buy...etc
unless you are upgrading a hardware with a carrier supplied phone ... SIM unlocking is NOT necessary until a point in time when you wish to change carrier ...etc )
ie:
contract ends... oversea ...etc.
if you're gonna do what the guy above me said, i'd recommend that you try the following
i'm on tmobile, using saurom, and latest blaze modem
however, here's what im running in to
the latest blaze modem that was released yesterday has increased my speeds by alot
yesterday when i was on telus sgh t989 modem, i was getting about 386kbps at my house and only 2 bars of service (my fiance's phone was getting around 2684 kbps with 4 bars of service, i wasn't happy). on top of that, at the time it seemed as though my 4g was having a bunch of micro disconnects. also my upload was around 2kbps
today i come home and try the latest blaze modem, and my download went up to 3.8kbps (decent improvement i would say), but my upload is around 10mbps... when looking at the other thread for the blaze release, there was word on some sort of update, so im hoping that will yield me better results
Where Can I Find The "Latest Update" For "Blaze" ?

Is the modding for the Samsung Galaxy S II D710 [Sprint Version] Just as good as the modding for the Samsung Galaxy S II GT-19100 [Unlocked] version?
I am looking to switch from AT&T Dell Streak to Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II D710 [Sprint Version]. Finanical Reasons.
Best,
needspractice
PS.
I have my streak moded perfectly and was just wondering if you could mod up the D710 just like you could mod the Streak or the GT-19100?
Nope totally different phones if you flash anything made for the i9100 you will destroy your spring galaxy s2

Not sure that was his question... Sounds like he was just asking about modding.
OP, there is modding for the SPH-D710, yes. But sm625614 brings a VERY valid and important point. The SPH-D710 has different hardware, so do NOT flash any i9100 firmwares or kernels to it.
SPH-D710 also has a separate forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281
Aw. Thank you very much. What is the difference between the two though? I mean am I going to be depressed because I have the Sprint version or is there a huge support moding group out there for the D710?

Besides the different cellular technology? (GSM vs. CDMA)
Why don't you check out the D710 forum I linked you to, and find out? I don't know the answer, as I'm an i9100 user, not a d710 user. Sorry.
Basically all I want to do on the Sprint network is tether with a mobile hotspot up to 8 devices for free. Install non market apps like the Amazon App Store. And Root my phone. Is this all pretty easy and possible with the D710 that you get from the Sprint Store?
And if I went there today? Would I get the newest version with the newest parts like the silver headphone jack and what not?
Also do you think its a big deal to give up my unlimited data plan on AT&T? Or if you pay the extra 10 dollars with Sprint is that basically unlimited data?
I would change out the roms but that is not entirely to important to me but I would like the option to.

I see you already posted this EXACT SAME question in the thread you posted in the Epic 4g Touch forum... So why are you still posting Sprint questions in a forum for a phone that doesn't work on Sprint, and also disregarding the forum rule (http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=263 - scroll down a bit) that says to only post once?
When you root it or flash a new ROM does it give you portable wireless hot spot?

HI.
I want to change my carrier. Right nmow i have simple mobile and its worst and worst. I want to have something from verizon. Also if you know good deals share it pls. I found http://goo.gl/WC4xR and checked verizon. I choose http://goo.gl/eVXlh or http://goo.gl/CbS0r
I want to check plans for http://goo.gl/eVXlh and i have to choose between GSM and CDMA. If i choose GSM i have to choose t-mobile or att sim card.
Can i choose CDMA and register (unlocked i9300 ) for being in Verizon?

I have one more Q ( dont want to create another thread )
Im around 3yrs with simple mobile and after 3 yrs everything can be changed. Which servis ( and if you knoe the deal ) is the best for my unlocked i9300 att or t-mobile ? if cant go with verizon.
I want to have $50 or less per month and unlimited everything.
Like i said i found http://goo.gl/nfXnij and have to choose att or tmobile sim card. I can go also with family 2 lines.
Also what about verizon http://goo.gl/CbS0r ??
Which deal and service is the best today ?
Does the i9300 work on both? Compare att frequencies and t-mobile with i9300.
Would you not be better getting a t-mobile version or att version?
Can't help with plans. Remember, the i9300 isn't sold officially in the US so most of us are not Americans

Well ... good to know
You will only get 3G on AT&T, unless you're in one of the areas that T-Mobile has started adding their new frequency towers in. So you're best bet is AT&T. I'm American. And use my I9300 on AT&T fine.

China Telecom custom made Galaxy S III i939 and i939d (dual sim card )
Everything is same to i9300 except only GSM and CDMA (someone says can be able to use WCDMA while outside the Chinese territory and roaming, but I think it's highly unlikely )

Any chance to get https://www.pagepluscellular.com/ on my phone? I ask pageplus on FB but i have answer like " only if u have flashed " ?
Also this is answer from thier lifechat :
***
We cannot determine if a specific make & model will or will not work with Page
Plus. In general, you can use any unlocked, Verizon-compatible, CDMA phone on
our network.
If the handset is not an approved Page Plus Cellular device, we cannot
guarantee that web access or picture messaging will work properly on the phone.
We do not have any server information to provide if the device is not an
approved Page Plus phone.
Should you activate any non-approved Page Plus phone on our system we can
provide you with our basic programming sequence, but once more we cannot
guarantee the programming of the device will be successful, nor will we have a
way of telling you exactly why a phone will not work with Page Plus. We can
provide troubleshooting for most Page Plus approved devices. If the device you
are trying to activate is not an approved Page Plus device, troubleshooting may
be limited to the information we have available.

Another answer from pageplus
you may have enough to go with that. I personally am not familiar with rooting and such. I can flash devices, but not into all the extra things you can do with them. Send me a PM via FB and I will try to explain some of the things you need and we can go from there.
what do you think ? Or he :0 ?

I don't know what you're asking. There is nothing that rooting or flashing can do to change the hardware of an i9300 to CDMA.

Yes .. sorry i was in rush.
So one more time. I asked about unlocked i9300 ill work with pageplus. He answer "Only if you have it flashed". So i told him i have rooted phone and change ROM often and is this enought or i need something else like program or setup. And he answer "you may have enough to go with that. I personally am not familiar with rooting and such. I can flash devices, but not into all the extra things you can do with them. Send me a PM via FB and I will try to explain some of the things you need and we can go from ther".
But you already answered this and i trust you more then him.
You can never use an i9300 on verizon as CDMA. You have to use it as GSM. Im not sure who page plus are it what they offer in gsm. You'd need to compare their gsm frequency bands with the i9300.

Hey guys, I'm new to all this flashing roms stuff and I have a question . I have the MetroPCS Galaxy s5 and the model number is G900T1 but there are practically no roms for metropcs so I was wondering if I can flash the tmobile roms on my metropcs device due to the fact metropcs and tmobile are basically the same the Tmobile model number is G900T as you see there's only one difference between the model numbers and that's the 1 in metros model number so please HELP
I am running the T-Mobile Stock rom on my MetroPCS version GS5. The only difference is that I needed to change the APN from fast.tmobile.com to fast.metropcs.com. Everything works flawlessly.
Didn't wanna wanna make new thread since this is just a basic question. Is anyone on metro pcs using the galaxy s5? I'm using their basic 40 dollar plan which gives me 500 mb of 4g. My question is I turned off the lte service but even though I was using 3g it still used my 500 mb of lte data, does anyone know anything about this, or is turning of 4g not an option on this phone?

Whether your on LTE or HSPA, it is still considered 4G and will use your data. The only way to not use the data allotment is to be on WiFi.

MetroPCS is owned by T-Mobile. The 1 after the G900T is the only factor that makes them different. They both have the download booster feature as well as wifi calling and HD Voice. Flashing roms on the G900T1 will be compatible with G900T (T-Mobile) Roms as well as MOST G900F Roms, I have a T-Mobile S5 on an international Rom. Everything will be good.
