[Q] 3G speeds on T-mobile

I am aware that T-mobile uses different 3G bands than does ATT. Most phones when unlocked are left to crawl on edge and cannot get 3G speeds when switched to another carrier. Being as the Captivate and Vibrant are essentially the same phone, would this be an issue. I've been on the G1 since it came out and I really don't like the iphone look of the vibrant. Was planning on getting a Captivate and unlocking, but not if I'll loose 3G.
Can anyone running an unlocked Captivate tell me if they're getting 3g on t-mo??

I would say no.

I believe it was engadget that said the Captivate can get t mobile 3g speeds but not vice versa.

Nope you can only get 3G on the vibrant unlocked to att not the captivate you can only get EDGE speeds on tmo with the captivate.
So basically:
Vibrant: tmo 3G
Att 3G
Captivate: tmo EDGE
Att 3G
So yes it might be an issue for you lol

Only thing I really don't like about the galaxy s's is lack of trackball. .. I really use that alot. Also physical keyboard is a plus while not a must for me.
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA App

I hear you on the track ball. I almost went with the HTC Aria for that reason. But the Samsung GS phones are just so damn cool it's unbelievable! Really...... get the TMO version of GS and if you miss your track ball after 2 weeks then exchange it.

What should I do? Please help

Hello everyone I purchased this phone 6 days ago. Everyday I get random shutdown while its on my purse or while I'm on phone it shutsdown. I got the phone from wind should I exchange or get mytouch 4g? In Canada its called HTC panache with mobilicity and comes with 2.3.3 stock.

Hey guys, I was planning on going to Verizon from T-Mo.
I was looking at the DX2/D3 and I was wondering why there are no ROMs?

We don't have root yet.

Any ETA on when there should be a root?

No realistic way to give an ETA. A lot of determined people are working on it, it'll happen. It'd be worth the switch from tmo to verizon regardless.

We also don't have a unlocked bootloader yet, which cripples ROM development.

So, just because the phones are completely locked down and RIL's aren't perfect to your standards. Verizon has a bad selection of phones?
I'm pretty sure there are quite of few people that will argue against that very weak point.
You are expecting way too much for technology that hasn't even come close to maturing. The android operating system is only 3 years old, as far as a consumer stand point. This technology is still fairly new.

Just something for him to complain about.

if you're going to flame at me might as well do it somewhere else, don't put it here. Everyone has their own fckng opinions and nobody asked for you to troll.
And how does my point have to do with technology maturing. I'm just saying that vz sucks because their devices are incredibly locked down, such as the d3 I'm on right now. Some of us don't have a choice because our company is tied down to a carrier.
So how am I complaining? The OP asked for an aanswer on why there are no ROMs ON THE DROID X2 AND THE DROID 3,WHICH ARE MOTO PHONES., not the selection of phones. T-Mo is obviously going to be a better route for you because you have more stock phones, such as the G2x or G2, as well as phones with unlocked/unlockable bootloader (Sensation) Your not going to get really far with Moto phones, which is WHAT HE IS LOOKING AT.
BUT
since I don't like to fight, I understand where you guys are coming from. just remember everyone has their own opinions

Cmon now lets all just hug out droids and be friends lol

I'm in Dayton Ohio too. My condolences.

lol--well at least we are not in Cleveland--too bad my son and his wife are though
reason I asked is the times on the screenshots are 4 hours a head of EST
I would like those speeds here on the Note with Tmo--my N1 speeds suck
I am currently deliberating btw the Note/sg3/Gal Nexus which is now available unlocked from Google and GSM/+21 for Tmo
I have to balance it all with 9 months left on contract. Kinda screwed on that and a gov't contract, so don't know if I can argue for no termination fee as I brought the N1 with me from Cincy Bell. Not a phone I bought from them or got free. Or, get closer to end and suck up the term fee.
Pic shows 4.0.3--hoping that's true

I have until June and then it's only 100 to cancel and hello straight talk.

So that means when galaxy note will be released for Tmobile, ice cream sandwich update for att galaxy note will be ready? I guess its up to att to release the update. But I'm guessing they won't want customers to switch to Tmobile because of ice cream sandwich so they will be quick updating.

If nothing else it looks identical other than radio, so we can just flash their ICS rom/use it as a base for our roms.

To answer some of the questions.......
Yes it will ship with ICS as far as we know......
It will run 4G
It is essentially the same unit as the ATT 717 with a few minor changes
I am hoping to post a system dump link and maybe the modem here soon....... so stay tuned.......

Fken awesome! I hope we can get the Radio sooner than that though. But this is great new nonetheless...i was beginning to think that the Tmo Note was just a rumor after all. This proves it wrong.

Great news, can't wait to get better speeds...I would've considered trading my current note for it, but it looks like they will only carry black, I love my white note too much.

Does the T-Mobile version have the exynos processor since no LTE?

These dates have to wrong cause all new devices are released on Tuesday. They are just like CDs and DVDs, always released on Tuesday. Maybe they will be released yhe same week of these dates.

i wonder if it will have the Wifi Calling feature?? If so, I'm trading in my AT&T for a TMobile Note. Can't wait and it's on my birthday, whoohooo

I hope we can extract the wificalling apk and use it on T-Mobile sims . That will make my note complete:')

That's not true entirely my friend. As a sales rep for the big three we do release phones on special days sometimes... just like on certain days other than Tuesdays they release DVDs and movies and music and such. Discluding pre orders of course.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium

Well ****. I was going to buy a Note outright from AT&T on July 2nd to use on tmo but now I dunno if I should wait. If it's the same processor, will we be able to port a better radio to the att version? I had my heart set on white...

Well im one of the lucky few who knows someone with a note and insurance so i paid the deposit for mine and im on tmobile so the wait for great signals seems worth it to me since i paid less than half the price for this phone.

It will be the same one though right? No need to worry.

If they were smart, they would bring the exynos and advertise as the most powerful note offered in America or some crap. They don't need it to be LTE equipped yet, so it would make sense and give them an edge.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA

Has anyone gotten any update to which processor will be used see as how t-mobile does not currently have LTE???

The T-mobile galaxy note will use the same S3 snapdragon 1.5MHz processor that is used in the At&t Galaxy note.

This is great! If the hardware, is the same then we be great for us ATT Note using Tmobile users! Can't wait.
Just curious, if the hardware is the same, how is the Tmo version going to have 42+mbps, since the ATT version can only support 14mpbs. Is it all in the radio update?

Not that I don't believe you because this seems like the easiest and most logical thing for t-mo to do but do you have an reference's? Also since the hardware will be the same will AT&T roms/kernels work without any modification?

If you look at the 2nd and 3rd screenshots you can see the tmobile note uses the same cpu/gpu as the at&t note. The specs could change between then and July 11th, but my imo, i don't think it will. As far as roms/kernals go, i don't know. A dev could better answer that question.
