From what I understand the Bell mobility Samsung Galaxy S vibrant is different than the US T-mobile Vibrant. This forum is about the later. But the Bell is not quite the "international" i9000 either. So which one is the good forum? Or should we ask for a new one?
I think most people have been discussing that in the regular i9000 forums. I have seen them post firmware and such for that over there.

MetroPCS? Will this phone (specifically the GT-I9100) even work on their network? I thought they were a CDMA carrier?
EDIT: hold up. You say "about to get Galaxy S2 I9100 switched over to metro"... does this mean you already have the phone and are switching to Metro? Or did you order the phone and are waiting for it to arrive, and plan to switch to Metro?
Your profile says you are on T-Mobile USA. If you ALREADY have a Galaxy SII on T-Mobile, you probably have the SGH-T989.
If you DON'T already have a Galaxy SII, and you've ordered the GT-I9100, and want full use of 3g/"4g", you will HAVE to go to AT&T or H2O, or any other GSM carrier that may be regional to your area that uses the same frequencies as AT&T. Or, you could stick with T-Mobile, but your mobile data speeds will be limited to Edge.
MetroPCS uses completely different cellular transmission technology, and the GT-I9100 will not even pick up a signal on their network for voice, let alone data.
EDIT 2: For that matter, if you have the T-Mobile variant (SGH-T989), that one won't work on Metro either, for the same reason.
Well it's both I'm picking up the phone after work and I plan to get it flashed to Metro. I was told that the phone is the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100. I'm doing it for my girl who already has Metro. I have seen other user selling Galaxy S2 already on Metro so I know for a fact that they have the Web & MMS working, I just cant find it for myself! Thanks for the reply by the way!

Who ever told you "Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100" is wrong. There is no such thing.
The I9100 is the international model that operates on GSM.
If it's from Sprint, they meant the "SPH-D710", not "I9100".
You are better off asking in this forum. Someone there may have experience flashing a Sprint variant to Metro.
It's not very likely that anyone here in the I9100 forums is going to be able to help you, sorry.
I think he posted the wrong model>>>>> What Carrier has Galaxy S2 model I9100???? I think sprint model is Sphd710!
Thanks for the Help!!!!

If he said it's flashable to Metro, then yes, he got the model wrong.
NO carrier in the US carries the I9100. It is the international model. But like I said, it works on AT&T for voice and 3g/"4g" (which is what I'm using), and T-mobile USA for voice and Edge.
Can we get a sub-forum for general S4 development (i.e. Roms that work across all S4 variants)?
I will have a DoCoMo S4 variant tomorrow and I feel that all foreign carriers with the S4 variant shouldn't be looking in the US carrier forums for ROMs and such.
Thank you for the consideration.
just a quick question which roms can i use on my us cellular galaxy s2? like which forum for android development should i go in
None in this forum. This is a forum for the i9100, which is a GSM phone. US Cellular is a CDMA network.
Unfortunately, there isn't a dedicated forum for the USCellular variant. The closest one is the Sprint variant, which is the Epic 4g Touch. That forum is http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1281
This is driving me crazy. I have spent the last 3 days trying to figure out which model to get. I want the best speed available. I assume that is LTE 4G. There are too many models available. It is too confusing for me and calling T mobile is useless since none of their employees seem to know what is going on and so far 4 different employees have told me different things.
I am buying an UNLOCKED Samsung Galaxy S3. I want the freedom to be able to use any carrier I want when I want. I am in the US. Apparently not all the models of the Galaxy S3 have 4G LTE capabilities. Which model has it please tell me. I just want to buy a phone. I never knew it would be this difficult.
GT i9305 SGH T999 i535. i747. i9300.
If I use Tmobile I want the LTE 4 G. the fastest internet possible.
I am buying the phone on EBAY listed as UNLOCKED
please help me
Questions go in the q&a forum, ask an admin to move your post.
Suggest you buy a phone that will work best in your country, the i9300 and i9305 won't due to region lock on newer firmware.
