i use straight talk for my rez which all i could get was edge...you have to keep in mind that tmobile and tmobile based sims work a certain way to get 4g to work right...depends on both rom and how your apn's are set....be it certain build.prop tweaks and other modding to get 4g to work take much time to figure out....also the fact that this is a verizon based phone you get what you can out of it when it comes to this...its not meant for it therefore requires further developement in this....which im trying to do

I would love to be a guinea pig for you. My area has T-Mo LTE and refarmed HSPA+ bands. I can always pop in my coworker's T-Mo sim and nandroid to test for you.

i was actually working on this before the phone bricked with the sdcard init.d script i wrote....which i guttman wiped of my computer and obliterated its existance lol...i was getting very close with getting 4g with straight talk...its their tmo based sim so it may work with tmo as well

yeah, read about the bricked phone. which is why I opted to be a Guinea pig for you.
Hope Neo works his magic for you. If anyone can fix a Rezound, it is our resident Machine known as Neo.

Ya lol....i think he can pull it off...im a linux based programmer professionally and i tried all methods except using a jtag riff box seing as i dont have one lol...even fly helped me go over the steps with no luck...i could get it to read with io unlimiteds fix (which didnt fix it) but not the actual fix...so faith in the rezounds robotanity will be restored by the great Neo lol
Edit: Once i get the rez back im gonna try this apn / build.prop / lte tweak that should definately work for 4g tmobile and other gsm based carriers (granted they would have to set up the proper apn's) @Uzephi if you want i could message you the stuff to guinea it now

[Q] 4G

So has anyone found a way to enable 4G on the vibrants?
Thanks
not gonna happen. our radio physically can't (wasn't built to) handle that speed.
I have two friends one with a galaxy 4g the other with a infuse 4g and my vibrant is faster than both of them. They both get around 2.5 down and 1 up. I rountinly get 3.5-6 down and 1.5-3 up on my vib......im good with vib...then again their phones are stock so maybe their not being utilized to full potential
Thanks for the quick reply guys.

What rom are you using??
The best you can get is 3.5 G, our vibrant not capable of 4 G

3.5g has been lumped into normal 3g. 3.5g is the speeds at about 3mbps and up. And you automatically get that when in the range of a tower that supports that speed.

No one has made a mod because the 4g modem is a surface mount device, and more than likely isn't anywhere near the same shape nor will it likely be the same pinout as the vibrant 3g modem.

Yes...when i first got here i was scared to break my phone and even confused with terminology....but it was the best thing i did. The stock version does not even come close to tapping into the potential of this phone...just read and read again...watch some tutorials and take the jump...you wont be disappointed...besides this phone is almost impossible to completely brick.....good luck
4G,is joke.
tmobile does not have 4g, that is fake.
only 3g

Galaxy note and sprint

Will the note run on the sprint network if i buy one unlocked? It shows it runs on their frequency but i have never bought a phone unlocked and tried to get it on a network that does not carry that phone in their line up. Will it work with sprint network? I want it bad but want to make sure before i get one. Im in love with that bad boy. Anyone with better tech knowledge than me please let me know

If it's not Sprint branded they won't activate it.

Runs on their frequency but not on CDMA the unlocked phone is GSM only (att; tmob) so yeah, can't use it at all. Quite the shame, I would love to get me a Note.

Found that out the hard way a long time ago
Tmobile has changed a lot, they are just flat turning into thieves with a business license now. Never switch to a carrier just for the devices they can run, that is just plain not smart, at all.
I am not trying to be offensive, I do have your best interest in mind. With how fast devices are pushed out, there will be one that is better and what you want in 6 months time. So it doesn't make sense to move to a carrier for the phones. You will just get yourself locked into some contract that (Tmobile especially) keeps updating to strip more freedom and cost to to you.

Double check on the actual bands it supports; 3G especially considering the fact that tmob uses their own 3G unlike most other GSM carriers.
Aka it should work fine... BUT it might be stuck on EDGE at all times. Not cool.

Can the HTC Evo 3D be flashed to Verizon?

I've tried searching but haven't quite got a concrete answer but is it possible to flash the 3D to Verizon?

As far as I know not the Sprint Version as far as the gsm Evo 3d I don't know. The radio's don't work and I don't think even if they did Verizon would allow it like the little guys do (coughs boost cough) Even so the Boost network is Sprint's that they pay to use. I do know that Verizon PRL works on our phone but it counts as roaming and sprint will give you the boot for using it too much. I only use it when I visit my father as it's the only way I can get a signal and use it SPARINGLY until the wife and I drive home.
No, you can not.

I think technically speaking, the CDMA EVO 3D will operate on Verizon's 3G frequencies. WiMAX will not work through a Verizon account.
In order to get the device to operate mainly on Verizon and be registered to a Verizon account would be another story and process .. not sure Verizon would support or faciliate this process, let alone allow.
Hope that helps!
Thanks for the responses. Looks like I will jus get a new phone lol =)
Redd3VO
No worries, if you're getting a new phone w/ Verizon I'd say sell your Evo3D for about 250-300 on ebay/craigslist and then wait for the Galaxy Nexus.
Or the Rezound.
Or the RAZR.
Some nice phones are comin' out on VZW this coming quarter...
AND they just updated their data tier plans; doubled every plan's data for the same amount of moolah.

Droid DNA just to problematic and unfriendly for gsm usage GIVING UP!

This is rediculous
The phones nice but trying to get s good Rom flashed that supports mms and without the SIM error is to hard.
No-one seems to have real fixes
It should have been a STRICTLY vzw phone
All I want is been looking for is a Rom that will flash and have T-Mobile mms and working WiFi and SIM that works

No rom has broken wifi.
To get mms working you need a rom that's gsm only/based off the butterfly.
The sim error is a hardware issue. It has nothing to do with the rom your running or the fact that your using gsm.
And this is strictly a Verizon phone.

newsflash: this is a STRICTLY a vzw phone
because verizon made it (and most of its lte phones) "global" phones to support its customers who travel overseas, its possible to use on gsm networks....which is great and may gsm users pick up verizon devices now
this doesnt mean however, that everything is going to work perfectly for using the dna on other providers.....do not confuse this phone with an unlocked non-branded device....it was created as a verizon lte device
well i live on mexico and i use GSM... and i dont have any issue and my phone is a Verizon...
SIM errors can be fixed by putting a piece of scotch tape on the plastic (read: the side without the metal contacts) side of the SIM. This is a common issue in HTC phones with a SIM tray instead of a slot.
A extremely worthless thread...

I had not heard that a piece of tape does the trick...interesting.

Would you sell your DNA at a really good price to a developer who will be developing for the DNA community when he finds a good deal on a phone?

I just don't understand why someone would buy this phone, expecting to use it on a different carrier. Why not use a phone designed for that carrier's network? That's like buying a phone that is S-on and expecting S-off. You can hope it comes along, but to just expect it is unrealistic.
Yes, I get that the specs on this phone are/were a motivator, but it's not fair to the phone to get mad because you can't make the phone do something it was never advertised to do. And despite the claims to the contrary, some ROMs work just fine for what you're trying to do.
I don't know what we're yelling about

We can't have any more yelling. If we have any more yelling, then the s**t is going to hit the fan!

I was thinking the same thing, but found NOS m7 which works well and has literally 0 issue. If you get this rom and you get issues, let me know and I can help. MMS and all is working perfect. Plus Sense 5.0 is ever so sweet.:fingers-crossed:

The ol' ID-10-T error..lol JK!
Okay, to this was a short-lived thread for a reason. But, since it's been revived I'll add that I bought a nice used DNA and I'm a T-Mo customer. Even stock, it worked great on T-Mo here. Granted, I don't live in a 4G T-Mo area anyway so I'm not missing the latest in high-speed data.... anyway, stock I was very pleased. The only thing which didn't work was the wifi hotspot.
Move forward a couple of weeks and now I'm running NOS M7 on it. Thanks to this great forum for the help with that. Wifi hotspot works great, the ROM is robust, and I couldn't be happier.
So, I'm not on Verizon. I'll be using this on T-Mo in the States and on a couple of foreign SIMs when traveling for work. And I love the DNA.

I'm not sure if I you mean will the phone work or will T-Mo service work there. Sorry.... Certainly the phone will work. Mine works fine with a SIM from Germany (Blau) and one from India (AirTel). If you get a Hungarian SIM, it will work.
I'm actually loving the DNA on t-mobile

Rezound is rooted, Viper ROM, looking at Straight Talk. What do I need to do?

My phone is rooted and running the Viper ROM and I was thinking about the Wal-Mart Straight Talk plan, been reading lots of stuff but a bit confused. Being rooted, what do I need to do to use the ST plan? Will I still have 4G LTE with them? What do I need to know?
Thanks-Dan
I am looking a this myself. But I don't want to lose 4g.
So, I would love to hear more info also.

I rooted my rezound, and loaded cyanogen's countershrike... ended up using the familytalk from walmart, on tmob. cyanogens ROM has an awesome installer, lets you pick a CDMA or GSM carrier. I had to play with the settings for the networks, but they are all available. I started here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943767
also look for the GSM unlock threads...
good luck!
Where is Viper Rom for the Rezound? Trying to set a friend up on it
