To answer your question the SGS II only works on Edge and not 3g for T-mobile.

Works fine on 3g for me!
I am also using T-Mobile with 3G (or Orange T-Mobile as it is now called in the UK).
I assume the guys that can't get it working are in the States?

Correct. We would only get Edge here.

No problems here
the thread starter needs to title his thread "tmobile USA" because obviously this phone does not work with tmobile usa 3g. of course tmobile in europe will work fine.
Should have written my answer with more detail :/ The SGS II works for Orange in the UK but with T-mobile US it only works on Edge.
Perhaps You Can Help with T-M 3G?

Hello. I have a GSII from UK, on T-Mobile. Tried to work with a guy at T-Mobile to figure out how to get 3G (only Edge now). My unit is rooted. I would love (and would pay!) to get 3G working on my phone. Can you help out?

If your on T-Mobile US, you can never get anything but EDGE.
Thanks for quick reply...
...not to be a pest, but does the phone I got (UK GSII) just totally lack the hardware capability to do 3G, or is it a software/firmware issue that may some day have a solution?

The UK GS2 lacks the current bands to run on T-mobile US network, since they use different bands compared to T-Mobile UK. If you want 3g/4g, you have to wait for T-mobile to release their variant in the states or otherwise change to AT&T.

Hey BostonBob... you might what to take a look at this thread. It explains the situation in a little more detail: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16356271
Short answer... it appears one-half (the upload half) of the TMobile USA 3G signal is at the wrong frequency (meaning this phone won't support it.)
I looked around to see if there's a software hack to reprogram the frequency or a hardware thing. Best I can tell...
1) The SGS2 supports a VERY wide range of frequencies. The i9100 service manual shows it clearly supports service in the 1700 MHz range... but not specifically AWS (Advanced Wireless Service) that TMobile USA uses.
2) The service manual actually shows you how to go in and 'fine tune' the frequencies if you have superhuman soldering skills.
3) Bad news, even if you hit the right frequency, I'd assume the antenna firmware would have to be changed (well outside of my area of expertise.)
I keep hoping that someone with some knowledge of programming one of these antennas will chime it, but no luck yet.
Now that TMobile USA is releasing their bastardized version of the SGS2, maybe we'll get lucky and the telephony portion of the hardware will be interchangeable (though I highly doubt it.)
If it's any consolation, I'm in the same boat.
I was searching eBay and saw a G9250 and G925I that seem very similar. There's also a G925F. All support all AT&T bands as far as I can tell. I'm looking for SIM unlocked, boot loader unlocked and updates not tied to a carrier. Most importantly I want one that will likely see the most development here. What do you guys suggest?
I have G920I and have no problem with LTE or connectivity. However I'm thinking about switching to edge and I'm considering G9250 which hands down supports the most LTE bands than any other variant. It's just too pricey yet let me know how much you end up spending on which variant

Thank you both. I was also leaning towards the 9250. Prices are not that different between the I, F, and 0 variants. However, I have not committed to one yet. It looks like the 9250 also has the CDMA radios but I noticed more 3G CDMA radios then 3G GSM ones listed. I know mostly all I need is the LTE but I just want to be sure.
I will let you guys know once I get it.

Here is the link. I think you can still buy SquareTrade warranty through their site directly. Go to http://www.squaretrade.com/get-warranty and put in 221744575898 which is the item number for the same item from the same seller. Later you can forward your purchase receipt from never-msrp to SquareTrade.
I personally prefer to buy their insurance which imo is better coverage. If a Samsung phone works fine within the first 14 days(return period for seller), I don't think you'd need warranty later on.

I meant buy Squaretrade Insurance instead of Squaretrade warranty.
I'm cancelling out Sprint and going with Cricket, and was curious about this as well. I currently have an S3 that I've had since the release. Time for an upgrade and I am a bit torn between the s6's. I was originally going to wait for a G4, but the Flex 2 and the G3 was uncomfortable in my hands when compared to the S6. And I'll have a case on it, so it would be much more uncomfortable. Custom roms have made my life with my S3 a much more bearable one as I'm currently running Lollipop. I'll be getting two of whatever I decide on, but I need lte, no bloatware, and a lot of rom development so I can explore!

I think things have changed in development scene quite a bit since S3. I personally was a flashoholic and used to flash new roms/kernels daily. But as android evolved, I felt the need to try custom roms less and less. IMO there will be less number of custom roms as we move to each new generation of Android phones. If you really want tens of custom roms and kernel, go with a Nexus. Right now I have an S6 (coming from a Nexus) and waiting for my G9250 to arrive. I have not had any need to flash a custom rom. Having root is nice though.
Overall, IMHO If you want more roms, go with G925F/G920F. Otherwise G9250 has the most comprehensive network bands support. Root is available on pretty much all variants.
I ordered the 9250 w/64gb storage from Never MSRP but via their ebay listing. The most expensive phone I've every purchased, hopefully I can get some good life out of it. Should be arriving Monday. I compared all the bands and I think this was the way to go. I too am no longer flash happy with my phones. Although CM12 has been great on my OnePlus. I just want to be able to root the phone for simple things and more control. Still undecided about the Squaretrade insurance. I will decide within the month they give you.
I bought the g925i edge...I live in cali and using cricket, does that mean I won't get as many bands? I'm just worried about 4g speeds + call/text signal strength because I use it during school and work.
I finally received my 9250. To be clear, I had 920i for a few weeks on at&t. Before that, I had 925A. I feel data on 9250 is slightly faster than my 920i Attached is a series of speed test result in downtown Philadelphia which is a pretty congested area. My 925A speed tests in same area, had similar results so I do not think 9250 is any slower.

Hey guys, I'm considering getting an at&t alpha, to use with my T-Mobile Sim. Does anyone else here do the same? Will this affect my reception? I have heard my LTE may not be as strong. Also, will this affect how I get updates? Is there a difference in speed from the exynos and snapdragon? Thanks!!!

I am using it now on T-mobile network.
Hotspot will not work unless you root it. You cant root ATT phone. Wifi calling will not work. I dont use any of it.
I did speedtest on this phone and on my Tmo Note 4 and the 4G LTE speed are almost the same.
To get it to LP 5.0.2, you need a ATT nano sim card. I heard you walk into the store n buy or it or some store even give it to you free. Or you can buy from fleabay. I am happy just staying on KK 4.4.4
So do I need it to have service? Or can I just use a blank Sim and download over WiFi? Also, how noticeable is the difference in texture between the white and black mode?

Do not go for the AT&t Model because
1) you need at&t sim to update.
2) There is no work around for this.\
3) There is NO ROOT for the AT&T model and might never be....as its not supported by developers.
4) Even if you get an at&t sim from someone and update it things might get broken as some users have reported "recent key" not working after the update and since its bootloader locked there is no way users can downgrade it Via odin (just to mention because its bootloader locked there are no firmwares on sammobile either).
5) at&t has a snapdragon processor, while the 850F model has exynos 5430 which is about 30% more power efficient than the snapdragon one.
6) Do yourself a favor and buy international, factory unlocked SM-G850F Model. Hope it helped

i don't use LTE so can not guide you on that but if we put the LTE aside ... think about it there are so many at&t alpha users complaining about their RECENT BUTTON not working after 5.0 update. There is no way to downgrade....they are stuck with unusable devices....however some 850F users who experienced the same problem downgraded with ease....i think 850F is much better.

Is your 850M on Tmo getting fast data speeds on Tmobile.
To OP - I just got a software update OTA direct from Samsung by selecting software update on phone on Metro PCS - neither Metro nor Tmo carry the Alpha so it upgraded direct from Samsung to 850MUBUBOB1 software version.
Thanks guys. I definitely want the unlocked model, but considering I have a nexus 5, I dont feel like I need to have the latest software all of the time, especially touchwiz. Is there a difference in texture between the white and black phones?

Are you saying do not update to LP 5.0.2 ?
I am still on KK 4.4.4 on this ATT phone unlock n using it on T-mobile network. So far I am loving it.
I have used G850A on T-Mobile network. It works great and the LTE speed is much faster than on AT&T. I could get the lollipop update using an old NET10 SIM card - the network was reported as AT&T. It's much better than with Kitkat. I switched to Cricket, which uses AT&T network but is reported as cricket instead of AT&T. The coverage is better, but with slower LTE. No problem with the recent button.

For bands on T-Mobile, you will need to get T825Y (b2,b4,b17). All LTE versions of the tablet as of this moment does not support B12. Perhaps it will only be supported if a North American LTE version is released.
Coverage is probably the more critical issue compared to speed, as the tablet drops to no service in the B12 areas around me.

I have a European SM-T825 and it works great on AT&T. I'm in a secondary market so I assume I'm on the 700Mhz band. Should work on T-Mobile 700Mhz since they got the capacity from AT&T.
Any chance you can try tmobile sim?
What area of US are you located?

I am using T825 with T-Mobile SIM getting decent LTE speeds in MD/DC area. I bought mine a week ago from Dubai.

T-Mobile uses band 12 for 700MHz. The EU Tab S3's don't support that band. They also don't support AT&T band 30 but that isn't as critical as band 12 on T-Mobile. Band 12 is T-Mobile's low frequency band which help greatly with distance and penetration.

Hi,
I would like to buy this device which has become unavailable in Europe. So I should get an unlocked US version (AT&T, Verizon, T-mobile), I just have no idea what LTE bands they have, nor how it works for updates for these variants.
Thanks to anyone who wants to help this noob

I would imagine your would get updates on the schedule of the service provider that it originally was sold from. Updates from providers are usually behind factory unlocked versions. I would see if I could find one that was an international unlocked version.

THX!
The version most similar to the international version is the Canadian, precisely Lmv600tm2x (from what I understand)

It doesn't look like LG released an international model of the phone. I found a few on eBay that started they were unlocked and would work internationally though.

Yes, in fact he did not release them, unfortunately. They are all connected to some telephone operator ... However, the Canadian model has almost all global bands, which (it seems) the US models do not have.
