I use my phones internet regularly and unfortunately, upon switching over from my previous phone this one only goes up to edge. I haven't figured out why it does this or any ways for it to go to 3g+. I use the att sim card.. When I put the sim card in different phones, it goes up to 3g and H.. I don't know if this is just stuck on going up to edge because it is not a verizon sim card. I still have the old verizon sim card, I am unaware if I could activate that via straight talk. Or if the fact that network operators is greyed out, if that has anything to do with it. Any help or insight into this problem would be great.

Might be because that is the new lte settings for straight talk... The device ur using only supports h+ for gsm ... Try this and make sure the network mode is set to gsm/wcdma auto

I changed it to that and I got services but, no internet. Also, I only have CDMA/LTE and GSM/UMTS if that makes any difference. Obviously I am using the GSM/UMTS.

No the 4G LTE version. From Verizon.

Does the rezound support gsm network? I tried to swap 4g sim with a sim card I brought from my country and it roams to T-moble's network after I switch the mode to global mode under #*#*4636*#*# phone info. So my question is does it supports gsm network ?
no it does not... the sim card is only for verizons 4g lte
yeah is a good questione cause i want to buy it but i m from italy and we don t have the 4g (country of sh¡t)

All this was brought up when the Thunderbolt came out and it was proved not to be a world phone.
Ok guys, stop. It is NOT a world phone. It does NOT have a GSM antenna. Wherever you are has a CDMA tower that the phone is roaming to, it has nothing to do with the sim card as it is for the LTE ANTENNA ONLY! Stop getting your hopes up. The LTE OnOff app was built as a universal app, it does NOT detect antenna's. Rezound is NOT a world phone, it does NOT work on GSM.

Are you asking if you can use 3G for web while you are on a phone call?? No. Not with Sprint or Verizon.
The only 3G networks that are able to do both are AT&T and T-Mobile.

This information is from Android Central's Review of the Sprint Version of the Galaxy SIII:
Burning question: Does the SGSIII have a SVDO radio like the EVO 4G LTE does... meaning, can it do simultaneous voice and data over 3G like the HTC EVO 4G LTE and the LG Viper can?

HI,
Thanks in advance for helping. I am planning to buy a used Motorola Droid Razr XT 912 (verizon) phone for my brother. We are on GSM network. I am not clear if I upgrade to ICS GSM will be unlocked and works full like a GSM phone or not.
Will there be any issues like data not working/3G not working etc?
Quick help will be greatly appreciated as I have to confirm to prospective seller!
Thanks you!!

That's a negative batman! Just to be clear. My steps
1) turned phone off
2) inserted active AT&T micro sim
3) turned phone on
4) dialed *#*#info#*#*
5) selected phone info
6) turned radio off
7) selected wcdma preferred
8) turned radio back on
9) pressed home key
10) went into network options
11) selected gsm/umts
12) tried to make a call
So you are like me in an area where there is no LTE and your data speed is slow. Just add the HSPA APN and your speed will increase. Simple...

Okay, so you're saying an area that doesn't have LTE. What if you do have LTE? I have LTE in places around Houston, but I'd love for my HSPA to be faster. Will this break my LTE?
It's so awesome. I'm at my friend's apt right now and I seen 24.8Mbps. Like WTF!? \('o')/
It does say adding something and not just replacing. I guess I can give this a try right now. I'll post back to see if my LTE falters.
EDIT: Well I've added the new APN. Everytime I try and select it, it jumps back to the default APN. Maybe it will switch when I leave this LTE area. I'll try then.
