Well they finally did it Virgin mobiles gonna start throttling just like Atet and the rest. The only good thing virgin had was there unlimited internet as slow as it was 3g. After 2.5gb they will throttle people. Now there's gonna be no reason for Manny to stay with virgin there gonna loose Manny customers. Time to go back to tmobiles 5gb prepaid
Who uses 2.5GB on 3G? Use wifi when you can and don't worry about it.

I'm on a T-Mobile contract, and I drool over the development support of the Nexus 4, but I need to have a SD card to put all my music on my phone. I plan on doing the N4 conversion, but I need the phone to do these things:
1) T-Mobile support for HSPA or LTE in New York City and Central NJ. Does T-Mobile LTE work on this phone?
2) SD card support
3) Tethering on T-Mobile. I don't have their official tethering plan but it works on my Galaxy S II CM10 rom.
Experiences?
T mobile lte will work once they turn on it. This phone uses band 4 and 17 and t mobile uses band 4 for lte.

Thanks. I wonder if it's possible to flash the T-Mobile radio from the N4 and it would work. Since they're basically the same phone...
I haven't gotten the phone yet so I can't test.

Um, you shouldn't be so quick to answer incorrectly. It'll only work in the cities that tmo has refarmed. Google it for the list of cities. Search term "t mobile spectrum refarming".

Yes double this. I just switched my optimus g to tmobile and it will definately pick up edge but hspa+ is in some areas. Fortunately im in washington DC so its cool sometimes. Unless im moving around in dc then its just a constant in and out. It seems like Tmobile is 1 full step behind at&t when it comes to service and data. They go from hspa+ in dc to Edge but on at&t at least it goes from lte to hspa+ also the quality does not drop anywhere near as much. Tmobile feels like a souped up prepaid service.
My money is on T-mobile. For almost half the monthly cost of AT&T, i get consistent hspa+ speeds of 10-12mb down and 1-2mb up, in my city's refarmed 1900mhz T-mobile market. When T-mobile flips the switch on their LTE, it will be comparable to AT&T/Verison/Sprint LTE, with faster fallback hspa+ speeds and at significant cost savings to boot imo.

The OG can pick 1900 frequencies for HSPA so you'll get 3G speed. That's until T Mobile switches frequencies.

I wish you guys could read. Not every tmo market has 1900mhz 3g hspa or hspa+. Google it and make sure your market is on the list. If it's not, it will be soon.

I traded my Atrix HD plus 50 dollars for this phone..which I think its a sweet deal plus it was unlocked phone so I can use T-Mobile for it. Now I need some help and there is way too much info about this and I don't know where to start Google is my friend,but I came here for shortcuts. I want to root, flash cwm, unlock bootloader and start flashing some rom which I will try to figure out myself. I need help with LTE
I changed my APN to fast.t-mobile.com,but I don't see any LTE signal. All I keep getting is 4G. Not sure if this phone even gets a H+ ( keep in mind i'm still on stock LG) What other settings I need to use to activate my LTE on the APN?
If I'm going to flash a ROM most likely PA or AOKP would this affect anything for carrier? I don't wanna messed up something and relock my phone.

Unfortunately if your not in the area where lte runs on the phones bands your SOL. The optimus G isnt aws so unless your in a big city there may not be any LTE. But 4g on the optimus G counts as HSPA+.

We have LTE in Phoenix AZ we had since it March 26,2013. Before the Optimus G. I was picking up LTE fine with my Motorola Atrix HD also with stock rom. I even flashed it with another rom. Still picking up LTE just fine. Of course I had to change APN to fast.t-mobile.com
Last night I rooted my Optimus G, unlocked bootloader and flash recovery. Wiped factory/reset, Wipe dalvik cache, flashed AOKP Rootbox JB 4.2, flashed Gapps w/ photosphere working, wipe dalvik cache. Success! Rom is great, no issues with it so far except LTE. I even downloaded LTE Settings from the Market no luck. All I get is H+
Do I need to flash a different radio or something? If I do can you or someone direct me to the right radio. Thanks
If I recalled tmobile uses band 4 for data speed. Optimus g does not. So no go I'm sorry. (1,3 and 5?) Does tmobile have actual lte yet? If so maybe modem may not support lte unless someone compiled one that does?

He's saying the modems that the Optimus G has do not run band 4. Therefore you won't get LTE if that is that band they run.

There is a line you can modify in build.prop that should enable the menu settings to change network mode, I can't remember it off the top of my head though. It may help!

Have you actually tested the speed? It may just not be showing the proper icon.
Either way, putting a different rom on it should do nothing to effect your carrier, aside from included APN's.
Im posting to confirm that the at&t version of the optimus G does indeed run on t-mobiles LTE.

I have unlocked AT&T Atrix HD and currently has AESOPIZZA Jellybean 4.1.2 it clearly shows LTE on the screen,but the superior more powerful Optimus G does not.
I'm getting at least 32mbps at speedtest.net for LTE on the other device.

On my Unlocked Atrix HD. I was on stock ROM 4.1.1 and I had LTE right away. When I bought this Optimus G no LTE even on stock rom after messing with the APN.
However I will try flashing the .33 radio on stock rom. Good thing i nandroid back up my stock rom.
I used TWRP to flash

Do you get the refarmed 1900 Mhz 3G/H+ in your area?I believe the HSPA+ in my city is the non refarmed version, therefore Edge is the best I get, even after enabling network settings in build.prop (thanks! @id10terrordfw), and after playing around in the service menu. I can get it to connect to HSPA+ on a competitors' network (local carrier called West Central Wireless), and it shows the 4G icon in the top corner, but their network is either a joke (which I have a feeling is the case), or throttle the heck out of competitors' phones connecting to their network. Either way, I simply suspect that this phone just simply doesn't have the band that T-Mobile needs to get fast HSPA+ (or non-LTE 4G, as I like to call it).
I can go into my local T-Mobile store and run speed tests on their Nexus 4 and GS3 at any time and get around 12Mbps. Their GS3 shows 4G (which I know is not the LTE 4G, and their Nexus 4 shows H+).
I've read from various forums members that flashing the Nexus 4 modem is a no-no, but I don't understand that if this hardware is identical to a Nexus 4, why can't we enable/flash support for the band we need. I haven't been out of town to a market that has true T-Mobile LTE to test it, but @STravers says it works, so I don't see any reason not to believe it.
Any one knows if rooting and flashing roms will mess the service on a AT&T Mega(SGH-I527) flashed on Straight Talk?. if not, what rom would be the best one?.
Thanks.
Hello!!!, anyone?????????
there are no roms on the at&t version yet
The phone is not flashed to straight talk, it is neither unlocked. Your phone is most likely an AT&T version and straight talk uses AT&T towers so the phone will automatically run their network, no flashing networks.
To answer your question rooting your phone will be like rooting a regular AT&T phone as you have nothing flashed on it.

correct.. and Straight Talk, Walmart Family, Net 10 etc sim cards....
so.. no flashing neccessary...
only different APN settings needed.
Hopefully your Mega will automatically find the correct APN settings of the particular sim card that you put in before boot up..
If it doesn't work for any particular sim, then you'll have to find the APN settings and create one that will work with any given sim
good luck.

It's really working.
don't go over your 2.5gb data cap.
I always thought I was invincible to the cap because I had a iPhone 4 and the speed always seemed the same. Well I got my galaxy mega on monday and by wednesday I was at 4.1gb. It was because I had downloaded Asphalt 8 and a few more games using the incredibly surprisingly fast straight talk 4g. Well then my internet completely disappeared. I know straight talk had nothing to do with this. But my apn settings deleted itself. I don't know why haha. But anyway I called straight talk saying I couldn't find the correct apn setting they helped me get the correct one and then I asked her if she thought if I used to much it would go over ( I didn't want to say I went over) She then said oh wail actually you already have seemed to exceed the cap. She said I should experience slower data. She then proceeded to tell me that once the 2.5 gb cap is passed that the internet slows down to 2g? I asked her if it was edge and she said no 2g.
I plan on switching to simple mobile within the next two days.

I'm planning to switch from T-Mobile to Family Mobile at the end of the month, and I wanted to know if somebody on here uses it and if they're happy with their service.
And I'm also curious if I will get 4g?
I've been hearing all different stories saying I'll only get 3g even if on a 4g device.
Or possibly just 2g only[emoji27] (since supposedly the L9 only receives 2g 4g signals?)
Also I am rooted so would I be able to use a hotspot on their service?
