gang I am really confused about the different model iterations of the Galaxy S3, SIII, S III, for T-Mobile. not for at&t "unlocked" or anything else, just the one sold in the USA for T-Mobile customers... what is a Galaxy S 3 "LTE" ? What is a SGH-T999 ? is there another, earlier model than either of these [if they are diff].
this is all leading somewhere because I still have lots of wifi related bugginess with this one and I'm trying to sort out whether there was a "Galaxy S3" for T-Mobile that was buggier than the rest and whether I got one... but first need to make sure which handset I'm talking about and looking for answers on.
thanks for helping me!

Honestly not sure. This is the GT-i9300 Q&A. This is the 3G international version. There is also the GT-i9305 which is the LTE International version, but we don't really know anything abaout those crazy US S3's that exist. They're completely different to these versions.
Have a look, perhaps there's a dedicated area for the T-mob US device. As per the sticky at the top of this forum, this area is not for US S3's
well, that is what I thought... I used the "type to find device" search engine for Galaxy S III T-Mobile and it points here.
Thank you for trying to help!
much appreciated
There are 2 different us models. The older t999 will run 4g and the newer model has the radio to run 4g LTE. Hope that helped a little. I was just at the T-Mobile store yesterday asking what's the difference between my old model and the new and the data connection is about it. Does your s3 that you have now a T-Mobile phone for sure and does it run 4g or 4g LTE?

First thing to check is the model of the phone. Look on the label under the battery. If it says "GT-I9100", then you're in the right place.
HOWEVER, since you say that the phone was modded to work on Verizon, there is about 0.001% chance that it is an I9100, since the I9100 is a GSM phone, and Verizon is a CDMA network.
The phone could possibly be an SPH-D710, which is the Sprint GS II, (aka Epic 4g Touch), or maybe an SCH-R760, which is the US Cellular GS II. These are the only two CDMA versions of the Galaxy SII that I know of. If it is one of these, for SURE DO NOT USE any firmwares or kernels from this (I9100) forum.
The Epic 4g Touch has a separate forum, and the SCH-R760 doesn't have a forum on XDA at all, at the moment. But I did find related threads for this model in the Epic 4g Touch forum.
how do i flash my phone
i have a samsung galaxy s2 sch-r760 that i bought on ebay. i was told it was flashed to verizon, but it didnt work. it is currently on u.s. cellular which is cdma plz help
I just recently acquired from a trade an unlocked version of the Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-i777 and I am using it for T-Mobile. Is it possible for this phone to receive any higher speed of data besides EDGE? I currently am on the 4G data plan and for some reason the data connection on this phone is slower compared to my previous phone. Thanks!
Dear baby Jesus,
Please grant these people with the ability to search and understand that Google exists.

No....the i777 is only a quad-band phone, it doesn't have the t-mo 4g capabilities. So far the Note is the only Sammy phone I know of that can be flashed to work on the t-mo 4g. The next batch of phones, like the One X and SGS3 are pentaband and should work fine....but for what you've got you're stuck on EDGE.

Nope. The only bands that the phone has compatibility for are the ones that TMo use for Edge. The i777 does not have the hardware to support the 3G bands for TMo.
This has been discussed several times and a search would yield that. As such, Im going to close this thread as the answer has been given and there is no need for any further discussion about this. It the OP needs more answers, he can either post in an existing thread of the same topic or PM me directly... Im also closing this to prevent the trolls from getting their flame on.
Thread closed.
My iphone on tmobile pre paid is the worst service and net I ever had.I had a touch pro 2 on boost and I loved it. no problems at all. Is it possible to get the s2 on boost?? Would I easily be able to do it myself?
Considering boost mobile uses sprint network, the i9100 is not compatible. The sprint SGS2 may be compatible, but AT&T and Tmobile SGS2 wont work for boost mobile.
Note: There are a ton of SGS2, it would be better to be specific on which one you are talking about. (i9100, i9100G, i777, SPH-D710, T989(
A sprint galaxy s ii epic 4g touch, yes you can flash that to boost. A i9100 or any other gsm galaxy s ii. No..
Ok good. I know the gsm and cdma cant be mixed. Im getting a sprint s2 within a month and I wanna be ready to flash and unlock. or do I just have to unlock?
Anyway is there a tutorial? what are my options and what is most recoomended?

I'd advise you to ask your Sprint Galaxy S II (aka "Epic 4G Touch") questions in the relevant forum for that device, which is the Epic 4G Touch forum.
As already stated, this forum is specific to the I9100.

The sarcasm is a bit thick there, buddy. I was only suggesting you post on the relevant forum because you'd be much more likely to get someone who knows the answer there, since Epic 4g Touch users are much more likely to see it there, instead of here.
If you get a T-Mobile version of Samsung Galaxy Note (original), and sim unlock it, can you use it on AT&T network? How would be data speed? Edge only?
Re: [Q] Is it possible to use T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note on AT&T, Voice and Data?
Its only possible for those who take the time to search and educate themselves.
You will probably not like my statement, but I mean it in the most professional manner.
Just a basic Google search of using tmobile note on att network gives lots of help.

Really? I just did "a basic Google search of using tmobile note on att network" and guess what? Instead of getting "lots of help" I got NOTHING of that sort. Lots of reviews and such, oh yeah, there's something about using att note on tmoble network, just the opoosite of what I want to do.
Mods, please close the thread.
Re: [Q] Is it possible to use T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note on AT&T, Voice and Data?
Yes, you can sim unlock and use an ATT sim....however, you will only get Edge.

Here, let me break it down for you.
All those pages you mentioned (35 pages) about using att note on tmobile all say the same thing:
Unlock phone.
Flash t-mobile radio
Input APN
You want the same thing, but opposite networks:
Unlock phone
Flash at&t radio
Input APN
My apologies. Since you were a member of a development forum I thought you could piece things together. Maybe in the future, let people know you're not very knowledgeable. Everyone here gives very explicit help for newbies.
Why not head over to the t-mobile note forum. I looked over there and probably 1 out of 5 posts in the Q and A was your Q.
Id trade you my att galaxy note for your tmobile one.
I hate having to have a data plan,with the tmobile version I could stick to talk and text.Also this way you wouldnt have the hassle of getting data working.
let me know,I can send pics and stuff.I would also be willing to send first since im kinda new here and cang be vouched for yet.

I wish there was an exchange so members could trade for the best phone. Good idea.
Ok fellas, now before I ask my question, I just rant to let you know I've been a member here for quite a while, and the reason I have such a low post count is because I always do my reading before I waste someone's time.
In this case, all the posts I've read are old and outdated, and none of them provide a solid answer.
So my question here is...can the I9300 get H+ or 4g on T-Mobile network now? I've read first that NO the phone doesn't support their 4g band and never will because it lacks the hardware, that I totally understand, just like the cdma gs3 cannot do the same.
Now with that being said, I've also seen threads saying T-Mobile is adding a new band to support their byop program for people with unlocked phones.
All these I had read had old days on them with the most recent one on Feb 2013.
So does anyone have a straight answer for me?
I have a customer that brought me her fried T-Mobile gs3 and basically I kept get LCD A's transplanted it into a spare i9300 that my girlfriend brought me from Hong Kong.
I know the phone doesn't support LTE and that's fine, it's the 4g/H+ I'm concerned about, and if its possible what has to be done? New modem flash? Custom Rom?
Any help or info is greatly appreciated. ^_^
