tired of waiting on root... considering selling my mega for the international version. Do any of them support LTE on att? all im reading is HSP+?
The GT-I9205 is the only one that does LTE & it doesn't connect to AT&T at 4G

Is there a version of the Galaxy S II that currently supports T-Mobile 3G bands?
BUMP.......
No, not yet.
Do we have an ETA?
Yes read any tech web site on Aug 29th.

I'm on Orange, which also shares the T-Mobile network. I have 3G.
Sorrry - TMO US
Anyone?
I guess since no one could answer, there is no 3G nor 4G for SGS2 users with T-Mobile US sim-card yet. I wonder why, it should work.
Is there a ROM that would make it work with TM US with 3G or 4G?
There is really nobody here who was checking it?

It doesn't work because the phone doesn't have the correct bands for T-Mobile US network. It requires both 1700/2100 bands to work because one is for upload and the other for download.
This little (S2)ucker was just announced by Samsung to become available in US matrket by the end if this month with ATT Sprint and Tmobile. Cant wait to grab one.
Here is my issue. I am currently in the US. I might teach ESL overseas in Korea in January. I am not sure which phone to get. Will the USA one work over in Korea? Will thew international one work in the US?
It could work but Sprint has the radios locked.
Would developers be able to get them unlocked?
Buy international set

They propably can but the intl one supports more radio frequensies and is assembled to work worldwide so I'd buy it in any case rather than us version.

The international one works in the US flawless... just not on all carriers... it works the best on AT&T if you want to use it in the US and get 4G(HSPA+)
You can use it on T-Mobile but you will have to settle for EDGE(2G)

It would work on most carriers which uses the international frequencies.
Not just AT&T for US. Works with Rogers, Fido, Telus, and Bell Mobility in Canada for instance.

Just a side note, HSPA+ is not 4G. It's still 3G. LTE/WiMax is 4G.
so which companies will it work with 4g/lte? Will it not work with Sprint? Anyone know any deals for the international version?
Sprint (and Verizon) is on an old CDMA network while the majority of the world is on GSM, you know, operating with a SIM card. If you're set on travelling, it's better to get any of the GSM-variant, that way, you can just pop in any sim card from any major carriers all over the world.
I currently have a photon which has a sim card slot in it. So the Galaxy s international wont work on Sprint? Damn I want to keep my SERO plan lol. So where can I get an international verison from? Also would I have to pay full price for it?
Does the photon has an active sim card in it? I'm assuming no. I've never used a dual-mode phone before (nor am I familiar with how they operate on different networks), so I dont know the ins-and-outs on how to get it activate for a GSM carrier.
Damn, now i have a headache just trying to figure out how it works to have an intl GSM phone on a network that is predominantly CDMA whom happens to offer a dual-mode phone on their network
Call sprint problem solved

In 2010 the International Telecommunications Union redefined 4G to include HSPA+.

The SIM in the Photon is just for roaming. Sprint does not use SIM cards - even their LTE phones have them embedded rather than user-accessible.
As the Sprint Galaxy S III is not a 'global' phone - i.e. does not have both GSM/UMTS and CDMA radios - do not purchase it if you have any intention of using it outside the US. CDMA is no longer a global technology.
Confuses me a little that people spend so much on devices without checking what networks they support. Ho-hum.

Have any of you T-Mobile users had trouble getting 4G using the unlocked I9300? Before I got this I had the unlocked Galaxy Nexus and got 4G with no problem. For some reason my GSIII won't connect to 4G.

Because it doesn't support T-Mobile U.S.' AWS bands. You can get HSPA+ in the markets where they've re-farmed the 1900MHz spectrum. The GSM GN does support AWS.

I would highly appreciated if any one can help me with this, I have an HTC Amaze 4G on US T-mobile, and I would like to get the samsung galaxy s3 but the international version the (I9300) with the quad core. My question is would I be able to use it on t-mobile network with no issues especially on there 4G speed?

No, it wont work with Tmobiles HSPA, I think Tmo is changing their HSPA to 1900 next year so that would of been a different story, but for the moment its just not worth it.
Thank you very much....that's very disappointing....

Anyone know the difference between the canadian version of the galaxy mega i527m and the US AT&T version i527. Honestly I am new to android and wanted to buy one of these phones. Being a noob I assumed there was only one north american version. I am canadian so I ended up buying one from a ebay seller in canada, who's auction shows what looks to be a canadian device according to the photos of the box and model number, so I ended up buying it and am currently waiting for its arrival, but then soon after I bought it, I read on here about someone who bought one from the same ebay seller and received a brand new unlocked AT&T version. So if this ends up being the case for me as well, will the AT&T version work the same for me on my canadian carrier Telus? Will I be able to use the Telus LTE network for data? What other differences would their be?
Thanks in advance
The m version has the extra 1700mhz lte band in order to make it compatible with robelus' lte network. I don't think that you will get lte with the sgh-i527 version.
I almost did the same thing as you until I figured it out. So, I bought it locally in canada instead.
