I have an att tilt that I have unlocked and I am running Garmin 9 on it with manila 2d installed. I put in a nextel sim and it says contact service provider for details on setting up a network. Is my phone capable of using boost moble service? With the new $50/month pre pay with unlimited voice/data I need to set my phone up to use boost or list my phone on ebay and buy a new one. In that case who wants it? It's got garmin xt.
You can't. Boost uses the Nextel IDEN network, not GSM that the tilt has.
update: Boost also uses CDMA. Still can't use your Tilt.

United States
As Boost Mobile is wholly owned by Sprint Nextel they run on both Sprint's CDMA network and Nextel's iDEN network. Unlimited by Boost is designated for the CDMA handsets, while PayGo is for the iDEN side.
Thank you. That's kinda dingey, so if you have the iden phone you can't use the unlimited or vice versa?? Most of the nextel phone look crappy!

Not boost for you
I tried to get boost mobile to work with my tilt but the two just weren't compatible. I later switched to t-mobile prepaid, which works with both my tilt and fuze

Yay, kudos to the reference... I actually dug those out a couple of weeks ago and watching them again these days
Hate to bring back an old thread but now I feel stupid. I just bought an HTC KAiser to go ONTO THE BOOST NETWORK! LOL, so now I am basically going to have a brick in me house. *sigh* oh well.

Hi all, looking to get a Galaxy S, saw this post. Should I wait and see whether they arrive here?
"Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and US Cellular all decided to give their respective versions of the Galaxy S fancy trademarks, but not lil' Cellular South: the regional is just sticking with Sammy's original name for a change of pace. This would also seem to be the closest North American Galaxy S to its European cousin, featuring the standard industrial design and what appears to be a fairly stock TouchWiz load (if you can really call TouchWiz "stock") atop Android 2.1. Oh, there is one nice bonus, though: this version's got an LED flash for the 5 megapixel camera, a feature many variants left out. It includes a 16GB microSD card pre-installed to complement the 2GB of internal storage, and it's available right now for $199.99 on contract after a $50 rebate. Follow the break for the full press release."

Verizon's Galaxys S model also comes with with flash so will only be availble on their network, but afaik verizon don't offer a mobile network in the UK??? Best bet is buy an unlocked version on ebay. Also a big thing with the Verizon model is that Microsoft must have paid them some big bugs as the default search widget uses Bing
Also if you look at the image below of verizon "Samsung Continuum a Galaxy S phone" notice the ticker display the only and first phone to ever offer such

If you don't already know, the unlocked Bell HD7's 3G bands are the needed bands required for AT&T (850,1900). I received my unlocked Bell HD7 from Negri Electronics today and I was super excited to get it going on AT&T here in The States but ran into a very weird problem...
Basically, I can't connect to 3G/HSDPA/EDGE internet. Now, the weird thing is that it SHOWS I'm using AT&T and that indeed I am on HSDPA (see pics below). Calling and messaging work fine BTW. If I want to do anything requiring data, the 3G/HSDPA/EDGE connection won't work and I'm forced to use wifi.
I'm tired of hard-reseting and flipping switches on and off... I just hard-reset the bastard one last time and now I wait for your advise. What do I do? Thanks in advance

Since it runs on the Bell firmware you must enable the data roaming. In the first pic that you posted it looks like you have it off. Give it a try and report.

can you post the "More Info" result ???
try downloading "connection setup" from the marketplace in the htc apps section, run it and you should be good to go.
B"H
Seems silly, but did you actually setup your APNs?
Not sure I saw that in the pics.
Good Luck,

Hello all -- I wanted to ask anyone with the HTC Developer Edition if the handset works on AT&T's LTE network? I know that it supports the 700 MHz band which ATT uses - but it does not support their 1700 MHz band. I was slightly confused with the "AWS" Term however. HTC One Dev edition does support "AWS" LTE but is AWS a band or some kind of connectivity protocol? AT&T supports the AWS band and so does the phone. All in all my question is if I buy the Dev edition and use it on AT&Ts network will I have good LTE connectivity?
Does this answer your question
I went to an AT&T store this morning and did a side by side comparaison with the AT&T on and the numbers were the same.
I just got my dev edition this morning and I put the SIM from my HTC ONE X.
The only difference is AT&T version says 4gLTE while the dev says LTE.

Perfect. Will be ordering tonight probably! Thank you for answering my question (with pictures bonus pts):good:
Really weird story.. This all started Sunday morning when I left for work.. I noticed that I was only pulling 3g, shrugged it off and went on about my day. It stayed solely on 3G all day Sunday, and hasn't connected to LTE once, with the one exception being while I was in a Sprint store, trying to resolve the issue, but of course they have their own repeaters.. As soon as I had left the store, I dropped back down to 3G. While I was in the store, they mentioned that they had updated the tower nearest my house to 800 mhz, which is supposed to be better for building penetration, on Thursday of last week.. The manager tried telling me that the tower will suffer weaker signal until other area towers are upgraded.. Has anyone else heard of this? I have tried updating PRL, profile, using the ## command, and nothing will give me 4G, and it's really damn frustrating!
sounds like another Sprint excuse; I couldnt take them anymore and dumped them for T-Mo, which works great in Chicago land..
Surprisingly enough, I received 4G about an hour after posting this.. Curiosity got the best of me, and I ran a speed test

I have NEVER pulled speeds like that on Sprint, thought it was kind of awesome actually lol.. There may be hope for us yet!
Decent speeds for Sprint. Speaking of speeds, compare my WiFi to my 4g...

So, I got the unlocked S6 off of eBay, SM920-F model. I made my research, it should work with the t-mo's LTE and all but so far it has not been playing ball with me.
First of all, even when I am on LTE on this phone, it just shows as 4G which is not a big deal, I can live with that but when I am on LTE, as you can see on the screenshot below, it does not show anything as to how strong my signal is,etc...If I am on H+ though, it does show my signal strength.
And my LTE(4G Signal) is always at about 2 bars at best, no matter where I am, even if I am in the T-Mobile store. I checked my APN settings but I don't think that's the issue.

Anyone has any suggestions?

Someone posted in another thread regarding LTE Discovery and the like apps don't work on the international models. I have the SM-G920I which is also International minus a couple of bands from your "F" global. Anyhow, with my Cricket Wireless sim the network status (not the lte discovery app) shows signal reception and movement however with my T-Mobile sim the network status does not move at all. Always shows -113. But if you use *#0011# the RSRP will show the true results of your reception. Oh and someone also mentioned that not all Global/International phones will display the "LTE" icon in the notification section even when you are connected to LTE. I believe it was carrier or tower/band specific.
