So i just upgraded my samsung captivate to a new Galaxy S2 on At&T. The sales rep told me that i had to switch my sim card so that i can recieve 4G radios on my new phone. Will this new sim card work in my old captivate? Even tho the Galaxy s2 only gets HSPA+ radios, does the change of sim card make it not usable in my old phone? Thanx for the help
You asked two questions so I can't just say yes. But yes to the 4g sim will work in both phones. This is because the galaxy s 2 has more than just a 4g band. So yes you can switch between each phone, but I personally would keep the galaxay s 2 hahah

Basicly there is one overclocked kernek and a few roms from the same guy. Look in the development section for cdma roms

I see several cdma roms but the all say vzw im assuming that means Verizon wireless. Will those work for Sprint cdma?
Thanks!!

Nope. Only the ones that say sprint. Or a few that say verizon/sprint.

Ok Thanks for the info! I may have to return my GT and wait for the HTC Flyer.
I got the GT thinking as long as i have the hardware i can flash whatever. But we are all at the mercy of the DEVS. No development no flashing..

I called sprint and had them to cancel my contract! Plus $75 off! Now its becoming a fun toy! The 3g sucks on this tablet on sprint network, the tablet is laggy, and etc......But it's now the greats gadget ever for $130 "for now"
hey what method did you use to root your GTab, and what firmware are you running ?
flash my sprint tab
I have a sprint galaxy tab that is out of contract and w/o service.
is it possible to flash it with a verizon rom and then get data service from Verizon? Does 3D use the same frequencies?
Just brought back life to sprint gt. Awesome rom out icontact.check it out.im loving it

No, the hardware between sprint and vzw is different. You can flash your sprint tab to boost mobile (info in the dev section)
And as far as flashing VZW vs Sprint roms, 90% of the time, the VZW roms work just fine on a sprint tab, as long as you aren't needing 3g. So if you're using the Tab wifi only, don't let the VZW bit scare you away from running a rom (CM7 etc say VZW only but still work fantastically on my Sprint tab.)
Yea the contact rom is great for sprint tab. Overclock and undervolt kernel to use with it.

I am using my Sprint GT as Wifi only permanently. (I have phone service with Pageplus).
I am currently running the 1n1tia|C0ntact_V_1_6 ROM and its great.
Can I flash ROMs that are built for GSM GT's?
I won't ever need 3G service for this tab. Wifi only
Dont think that would work buddy.I hope more Roms come out like honeyccomb or icecream sandwich type so I can download the apps I actually want
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
ICS should be coming to the cdma tabs. If you notice in the dev forum the GSM tabs got all the work on them and our tabs got left behind.

Apparently they now carry 4G SIM cards to allow access to their LTE network (see here). The details are a little sketchy, though, and I wouldn't bank on it working.
If you're really interested in doing this, I would suggest going directly to a Verizon store and speaking with someone there. Maybe even see if they'll let you test it out (probably not, but it can't hurt to ask).
The only other Verizon sim cards I found were international ones that allowed roaming on Vodafone's network. Since Verizon in the US uses CDMA for its non-4G network, SIM cards don't work. With a non-4G SIM card you would end up piggybacking on some other carrier's network.
That's my understanding, anyway.
Okay I have a droid incredible 2 it got damaged but it has a sim card its not 4g either so yeah

That's one of the international sim cards, which basically just lets it hop on GSM networks internationally when it doesn't have Verizon's US CDMA network.
So you mean its not possible
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I can't say for certain. You would need to talk to someone at Verizon and ask them if their international GSM sim cards work here in the states.
My guess is that they'll tell you it will work, but since you would be essentially roaming all the time you're using it, it would be either costly or they wouldn't do it. Again, I'm not a Verizon employee, so I can't say that's 100% accurate, but that's my gut reaction.
Yeah ok makes sence my incredible 2 can only go into safe mode thats why I ask this

Have you tried putting the sim card on your captivate to see what happens?
Yes but verizon is so protective you have to have them activate it through the phones imei

Unfortunately verizon does not like you to be able to use at&t on there global phones so afaik there's no way to make it work.
When I bought my Galaxy Note, I had to change SIM cards. My question is, will I be able to use my new SIM card on my old Captivate? I'd try this out myself but I have my Captivate isn't in my possession right now but would like to know if I can use my new SIM with it.
Thanks!
I believe you can, but obviously LTE wont with. But I am not positive

I guess the only way to find out is to try it.
Thanks for the reply.
Take a look at this thread on the AT&T forums.
To get to a point to even try, you are going to need a micro Sim adapter
Am i right in thinking that the model supplied by EE in the uk for their 4G network is the I9305?
I already bought the regular 3000 and im getting uphraded by my network next month so im trying to decided whether to go for a 4G s3 or a 4g note 2 next.
Cheers.

If you don't mind the size than it's only one answer NOTE 2 LTE... i9305 is just smaller version of i7105, same HW, smaller screen & battery...
To me Note 2 is too big that's why I've got S3 LTE...

i would first find out if you can get 4g in your city yet if not then you could just get the 3g for now but i did get the 4g one i can get 4g were i am but im on t-mobile for now cuz ee wanted 149 for the phone and t-mobile wanted 49 so it was a no brainer and it wa only 20 between the s3 3g and the 4g one so i just got the 4g cuz it had 2gb ram and could do 42.2 rather than the 21.1 i think there the speeds of 3g o just a bit of food for thought
Is anyone with a Korean Galaxy Note SHV-E160L/K/S able to get 3G/4G data Signal in the States?
I bought a T-mobile SIM card for my phone(SHV-E160L) I'm able to get only G signal on my phone even though I'm in a 4G plan.
T-mobile are crooks....I ask them before buying the sIm card and they this me the phone is compatible and now they're saying I can't get it cos the phone is on different bandwidth or something like that.
Is anyone in USA having similar issues and were you able to resolve it?
Thanks.

Dear friend, you might solve the problem? I have a shv-e160l but only recognizes 2G in El Salvador and not 3G, I have read about it but still I can not find a solution.
Hello bro
Did you fix this problem?
I have the set with same problem....
Is there any way to fix this bro
Thanks.
There is a shv-160 owners thread in the ATT Note i717 forum. Should take it up there.
