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.

Is there a 'G' at the end of that? Just out of curiousity.
I got a LG Thrill 4G bought from ebay it was locked for AT&T in the US. I unlocked the phone myself and now it's working in my local carrier with 3G and MMS and in a month they will suppoort the 4G

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

I cam coming to the VIVID from the Atrix and had a couple of issues. I am living in a 4g hdspa area not LTE yet but my speeds with the VIVID were only around 82kb so I talked to ATT and they checked to see if the sim was correct and everything was ok. I then took the sim out the VIVID and put it back in the Atrix I then get over 5mb down. I then go back to ATT and they replace the phone and same issue so they issue a brand new sim and still the same issue. I am going to keep the phone for a couple of weeks to see if something changes but is anybody seeing this issue in non LTE areas. Thanks
I have the skyrocket and getting worse speeds then on other 3g phones I had?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
I'm getting about 1.3 Mbs in non LTE... (Portland)
Thanks for the post I checked with ATT and they cannot figure whats causing this problem I am guessing that somehow ATT LTE Phones are getting confused when there is not LTE in the area and somehow slowing the data down. I am not sure but hopefully will get some answers. Thanks
I sometimes get a couple of mb down and then it throttles back to less than a 100 kb this happened on two brand new phones
I was wondering could it be the APN settings are incorrect.
These phones will be either in LTE or HSPA mode and not both at once. If you see the 4G indicator without LTE under it you are on UMTS/HSPA. If you lose the 4G indicator then congratulations, you are on 2G GSM. Also note that when you make a call the mobile will drop down to UMTS/HSPA and your data speeds will be slower until it reselects back to LTE.
And all phones will have the PTA APN...
I just ran a couple times & about 2 meg down & .9 meg up.
I did have to load APN info this morning because I had no mobile connection at all.

Look at your build.prop file in /system what are the hsdpa and hsupa class values? Att screwed the inspire before by lowering the classes, then finally upped them. We may need to update them as well. I think hsdpa of 26 and hsupa of 7 were what the inspire needed to be faster. Mine are 12 and 6 right now. Need root to change though.

Mine are set at 14/6. Wonder if they throttled these phones like they did the inspire and atrix when they first came out. I've been getting 6/7 down and between .8/1.3 up. Not great but not horrible, about the same as my atrix 2 was.

Ok the thing about this phone is that there is no 3g radios in it. You either get LTE, HSPA+ or edge. So if you are in a poor coverage area that uses mainly 3g, dont get this phone. Honestly i dont see the point of this phone if you dont live in one of the LTE cities or very near it. I live in plano and work in richardson and both those area have LTE so i havent had to resort to hspa+ yet. So moral of the story, there is no 3G on this phone...
But anyways here are my speedtest results. the low ones were in the college library with 1 bar so that didnt suprise me.

According to the ATT rep, the vivid will not have 3g service. Im not sure of the bands and all that but maybe the APN for it wont work. Has anybody been able to use 3g?

Are you serious? Is this why I've been having trouble connecting to websites since yesterday? I definitely didnt have 4g signals all the time when I was on the htc inspire. It would often go to 3g, and now if this phone has no 3g then that must explain my issues. At&t really mislead customers. First they release 4g phones and barely had a 4g network. Now they release lte phones, I think you see the pattern.
I may just go to the atrix 2?

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.

So are there any basebands available that I can flash to my p925 to get t-mobile usa 3g/4g speed?
Q: how did I unlock my p925?
I took it to a store, and they unlocked it for me.

I'm only getting 2G speeds on T-Mobile (I am in the USA, San Francisco area).
I just bought a Wind lg p999dw and I unlocked it with the octopus, and now I cannot get 3g data on a rogers sim. Can anyone help me out? I've been searching for hours. Some say its doable, some say impossible.

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
