I have been using the s6 edge for quite a few days and after various talks with my provider I got to know that they are using LTE band 2300mhz while the S6 Edge supports only upto 2100. Is there a way to enable it?
I would really appreciate any help here..

I know the Jetstream was designed to be run on AT&T and Rogers, but I am curious if it is possible to flash a radio to enable usage of T-Mobile's HSPA network, much like the Samsung Galaxy Note has been enabled to, as seen here.
Can any of the amazing Devs out there shed some light on this?

jdavis08, Simple answer is yes. It is a standard 2G / 3G / LTE (AT&T / AWS band) phone. So you can use it on ANY 2G / 3G / LTE network with a SIM. But you may need to break the SIM Lock on any handset.
Just wanted to clarify. The Jetstream is 2G/3G/LTE /capable, 2G (GSM): 850/900/1800/1900MHz, 3G (UMTS/HSPA): 850/1900/2100, and LTE: 700mhz & AWS-1700/2100.
Currently, T-Mobile only uses the AWS for their HSPA+ network, not LTE (from what I understand, AWS will be transitioned for LTE and 1900mhz refarmed for 3G/4G early 2013) - and if I'm not mistaken, the HSPA+ is only supported by the "3G" band of this device, not the "LTE"
So - to make a long story short. I am a T-Mobile subscriber with various "4G" phones from T-Mobile. Their 4G only works if the phone has a radio with AWS for HSPA as T-Mobile (unlike AT&T) does not use the 1900mhz for their HSPA (yet). I own this tablet.. It has been SIM unlocked and it simply does not get anything above EDGE... and I live near and visit major cities in Washington State, Seattle/Bellevue/Tacoma, which definitely have TMo's 4G coverage.
I know I should just cool my jets until TMo rolls out the network upgrades, as I have no interest in joining AT&T. I was just curious if there was some way to "trick" the phone to use the AWS frequencies for HSPA, like the Galaxy Note has been made to do as the radio specs are identical.
I know that the Note was enabled to do this by flashing another radio. Support is minimal for the Jetstream these days... so I was just reaching out.
Thanks guys
Hi guys,
I have an international S3 i9300 unlocked. Ill be moving to NYC for training for 4 months, would this be okay on AT&T network (will use AT&T sim and not my local simcard then roaming)?
im guessing this phone is quad band as well... LTE is not that important for me as i just download files sent to me thru email and im sure there will be WIFI in the office. My concern would generally be mobile signal and if it would be easy for me to get it
search for the frequencies AT&T uses, and compare to the supported frequencies of the i9300
Should be fine up to 3G:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT&T_Mobility#Radio_frequency_summary
Although, they have 2 freq's for 3G so it depends how they split that....
Because see our bands for 3G:
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9300_galaxy_s_iii-4238.php
We only support 1900 MHz where as AT&T does 850MHz and 1900MHz. You may need advise from an AT&T user as to what that split actually means.
If it's geographical for example, you may be in an 850 area, meaning teh best you every get is EDGE
Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge SM-925F.
Checking the specs on this model, I found that it only supports LTE FDD Bands.
If you check the Samsung site, both FDD & TDD are displayed as supported by the phone (don't know for sure if they apply for my model though).
My question is:
Is there a way to unlock certain TDD bands on my device? I've seen several posts about unlocking LTE Bands on S5, but nothing for S6. Is this possible? Or will it be in the future?
I'm using a network that has 4G TDD B38 2600.
Thanks

Can someone please answer my question.

fdd and tdd stand for frequency and time modulation
it is a hardware thing
i personally doubt that s6 have both modules ....
