Does the thrill have t-mobile's bands?
From PDAdb: Cellular:Networks: GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS850, UMTS1900, UMTS2100
UMTS 850 and 1900 are for AT&T, does t-mo use 2100? If not, I think you're out of luck, sorry

You're most likely only going to get 2g. This also means no mms. Also you may need to tweak the flex settings.

My LG Thrill 4G is unlocked, but while I can make phone calls on it (I am on T-Mobile) the internet on it doesn't work at all. How do you get the internet to work on it?
Hi,
Please, does your LG thrill work on Tmobile in the US?
I unfortunately did not check for the band issue before purchasing my thrill 4G, unlocked.
Does Tmobile data work only on 1700 band?
I purchased an unlocked P925 from Ebay (says P925 on label behind the battery)...I loaded up the V21a_00.kdz file with Gingerbread. It now shows on the phone software as P920. Not a problem. Everything is working perfectly...email, mms, web, 3D apps, etc... Just like a newly purchased phone...just on T-Mobile service.
I'm using the phone on T-Mobile and my connection shows "H" in metro areas and "3G" in other areas. My "H" gets 9.7mb download and 1.9mb upload speeds (using speedtest).

Can you tell me where you got the files (and perhaps tutorial) to load the P925 with that file and gingerbread? Also, did you have to change any of the APN settings?

Yea i already did that (I have T-Mobile with a data plan - I used to use an LG G2X and got pretty good 4G speeds), but how do you load that V21a_00.kdz file onto the P925 ?
i don't have the thrill. i have p920 and this is where i upgrade to v21a gb

Hi,
I bought an unlocked O2X in Hong Kong, and brought it back to Canada.
The wifi and voice work perfectly, but it doesn't seem to find a data connection... what can I do ?
I have the latest out-of the box software :

You've bought a phone that isn't compatible with the Telus network.
It will only run on it's 2G frequencies, and Telus don't support 2G data (from what I can tell).
From what I've read, the O2X is compatible with HSDPA 1900, which Telus carries...
Yes the O2X does support UMTS 1900, but I don't think it's that simple unfortunately.
You might find that they don't use 1900 in your area, and you need 850 (as this is usually more popular), how you can find out I don't know. If you look at your signal type, I suspect it will be GSM
Right now it's saying GPRS... I'm in Montreal, which should mostly be using 1900 frequency, as it is the better one for cities...
Did you set up Telus APN?

Depends how you define better, I would have said 850 is better due to penetration.

Yes, I tried using the info provided by Telus :
APN: sp.telus.com
Proxy server: 74.49.0.18
Port: 80
but it doesn't seem to work...
I'd recommend you phone Telus and explain the problem to them.
I know on previous phones I've owned (non Android) I've been sent a text with settings in from my carrier. They might be able to do something similar, or at least point you in the right direction.
Have you used that SIM before or is it a new one?

It's the SIM I used on my Motorola Milestone before.
I called them, and they just told me to remove the battery and put it back on, in order to push new info in the phone... and reminded me that they don't guarantee data access with unlocked phones, which sucks.
Could it be a baseband issue ? I have 0405 now...
I found on the Telus site (can't link because I'm a new member)
they say:
Check device compatibility:
Your device must be compatible with our 4G network. If you have a non TELUS device that uses HSPA technology, it should be compatible with our mobile network. Check your device's compatibility.
Lock Status:
Your non TELUS device needs to be unlocked to work on the TELUS network. What does this mean?

Further advice is to take it into store and ask if they can unlock it. I'm assuming that's the problem, as your connection details posted earlier are correct.
The phone is unlocked (bought it that way). I had a second (very long) service call with them, during which we tried a lot of things, but without luck.
I also tried to change basebands, 0502 broke my cellphone connection altogether and 0218 works as 0405 did.
We already know what the problem is. You have a 2G signal and Telus doesn't support 2G data.
Networkinfo widget tells me I have an UMTS signal...

I have a lg optimus 2x videotron I would like to make it work on telus network, have you just installed b3 Fear MoDaCo FR19 edition or you also change the baseband and apn? Thank you!
So, I'm using a P925 thrill AT&T branded which is UNLOCKED on T-mobile USA. But only getting 2G edge data speeds, and I'm being told no matter what I do, or what baseband I flash, I will never get anything other than edge on this device. My question is, is there a comparable device that DOES offer 3g/4g T-mobile USA compatibility?
I'm trying to migrate from unlocked iPhone's (again, using on T-mobile USA) to Android - simply because I'm bored of iPhone's... Have had them all except the 4S - but have a iPhone 4 so its pretty much the same thing. While I know the 3D of the Thrill is a little gimmicky, I think its one of the coolest "gimmicks" to hit in a long time, and because I only recently got a 3D TV -- well, recording 3D video's and watching them at home is pretty effin cool.
So, am I stuck with a T-mobile branded Galaxy device if I want 4G or 3G on T-mobile USA?
Any advice would be helpful, since I'm pretty much an Android Noob! THANKS!
If I remember correctly the optimus 3d might work with t-mobile usa. But you might have to double check just to make sure .
This is off topic, but how did you unlock your phone?
You should be able to use the 2100 UMTS band with T-Mobile, but I believe you need both the 1700 and 2100 bands for full 3G. If so, you need a baseband for either T-Mobile, Wind or another Canadian Carrier with T-Mo's 3G bands. The nice thing about this phone is it's flexibility of use with other networks by baseband flash. (Now we need other leaked GB basebands.... Ugh.)
If you want a non branded Android phone that works on Tmobile 3G/4G bands look at the Incredible S, Sensation (International Version), Sensation XE, Nexus Galaxy, the TELUS version of the Galaxy S II and the Nexus S.

I think it's not possible, they use different networks, I know it because at some point I tried to activate an iPhone 3G with them and I would only get 2G signal... Don't know the details on the specs tho.

Hi,
I have a friend that has a CM7.2 Canadian Rogers O2x and they want it unlocked for Bell.
I myself know how to port ROMs, write guides, and do HTC S-OFF but I've never done a SIM unlock before and I don't know the method for anything other than HTC. I tried going on that Octopus Tool site but my computer said it was malware.
Thanks
Hey, so was anyone able to get the LG g2x p999 to work with Rogers 3G?
Sorry to say this, but you are out of Luck. The p999 only works on 3G on tge AWS band. It is disabled. A few of our members tried to re enable it, but it didn't work.
You can use it on Rogers, but only 2g

Also in preferred Network, in a ROM not stock, What setting are you using? LTE or 3G?
I'm on the 12b radio, running CM10.2, and the radio mode is global. I chose the fast.tmobile APN that was automatically added when I installed the SIM.

I had caught a glimpse of LTE on Mahdi ROM when I first boot it. Didn't get a chance to test speeds in Miami. Soon as I setup my phone and reboot it , I lost it so I'm guessing it's spotty.
Using Radio 12B also and it's was on Global in Mobile Network.

Outside of the bands, the hardware is the same except for the Verizon G2 has Qi Wireless Charging and smaller back buttons. Supposedly with the addition of Qi, the Verizon G2 is 1mm thicker, so beware if you use any time of feather/slim cases. Most will probably work except the slutty, barely-there cases.

Is there a way to get tmobile LTE working with stock rom and some modifications?
I just got the G2 and wanted to keep the stock rom for a while until I got bored of it, but i'm not sure how to get the LTE working with tmobile. When I installed beanstalk it worked right away. I added the correct APN, but only showed H+ on stock rom.

I may be wrong, but I believe tmobile lte working is based on your location. Some areas are using a certain band that our phones can use.

Thanks for the quick reply. I did get LTE working if I use another rom such as CM or beanstalk. But once I put stock rom back on, or even modified stock rom, I can't get LTE. I can try again, but pretty sure it gave only H+.
Is it stock?

I am running a stock G2 Verizon. Best I can get out of mine is 2G. When I put it on fast.t-mobile, I get nothing. How can I change the frequencies?
Also, have you found a way to install drivers to your PC? Mine will not recognize the phone except as a MTP drive. In debugging mode, but can't get driver to recognize the phone. Help!!! This has to be a Verizon issue. Any specific instructions would be appreciated.

This is based on the international stock rom so T-mobile 4G works on it (just choose VS980 in the Aroma installer). It seems like Verizon stock Roms block bands that Verizon doesn't use, forcing you to rely on 2G or 3G.
