anyone have speed test pics??
It would really help me out.. I don't know if I should spend 700 on the pink note. If I'm gonna have super crappy internet

Well the speed for web browsing is really fast on HSDPA+ (The highest one that you can get here in europe)
Found a speedtest on a german android forum.

Edit:
Remember, that's not the highest value. HSDPA+ can reach up to 21,1 Mbit/s here.

This was with an international note?
But idk if it be the same for T-Mobile since were on 1700mhz
If 9mbps was reached there.. hopefully here as well

Found this site:
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/mobile-ga...at-t-galaxy-note-which-one-do-you-prefer/5698
It says:
Cons of the GT-N7000:
No support for LTE in the USA
No support for T-Mobile 3G data
No NFC radio

So there is no 3G data (and upper I assume) available with the International Note. Any reasons for not taking the AT&T Note SGH-I717 instead?

So what were those speeds lol.. I gotta see some speedtests of someone using it on tmobile
Idc I'd get the att one.. but too overpriced .. if ima pay a lot for the phone I'm going to buy what I really want. And that is the Pink Note

The only video I found is that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YXXpmMrxq4
But it actually shows the speed depending on his new radio.
All others were using AT&T on the Galaxy Note... Could even find a picture.
Also just read that you are able to use >3g, sorry for misleading informations.
lol so complicated as we don't have 4g here.

The video is an art note lol
I need international.. hahah. The pink note is international
Thanks though!
And what wait I'm confused 3g on what? International or att?
I know art can be flashed to work with tmobile

Oh really? Damn, thought it was the right one Well next time i only have to take a closer look.
Yes, you're right it can be flashed to work with tmobile.
Well the site that I've posted before says that international note doesn't support lte or tmobile 3g data. Only the AT&T (as said you have to enable tmobile data manually)

Yeah.. but no pink note lol
My search will continue lol

I Found this..
no speedtest but the web browsing speed seems pretty good

So buy a pink case or those sticker covers and you can make it pink. I'd rather have a fully functional device than a colored device. That is only if you need the speed. if not pink it up! Where I live I only get 3G. Not hspa+, when I go downtown I get hspa+ so it's not worth it for me nor a deal breaker.

I use an n7000 on tmo stateside. Its only 2g so speeds are horrible... roughly 100 to 150kbps both up and down. This doesnt really matter to me however, as im in wifi 99% of the time. The 2g works fine for gps, email and mobile versions of websites. But forget about youtube, or full version website surfing. One thing i havent checked is pandora streaming... might work ok.

I have the international note, and for the most part I get around 256k speeds at best. Depending on where you are located though they have repurposed their 1700 band into their latest hspa+, so if you happen to end up in one of those area data will be really fast. (sorry never ran a speed test with one of those connections) The problem is that is was mainly an experiment and they most likely won't continue not that they are moving to LTE, and the areas with this working are fairly rare.

Well tmo is currently experimenting with the new base and 1900 for 4g.. said to start releasing it this summer slowly.
If they do, these phones will get waaay better speed.
Thank you everybody.. and yeah I'm on wifi about 50% of the time.. and mostly on fb or sometimes YouTube when I'm not.
And no I don't want a vinyl. Or a case. Not the same thing. Plus I heard att one doesn't even get that great of speeds

You'll get Edge on tmobile. Which is supposedly 635 kbps download
85 kbps upload.
You'll probably see around 100kbps up/down.

Looking for a way to use a Captivate on non AT&T US networks

Like the subject says... if someone can point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated. Not at all sure where to start. I can run pretty much whatever Cappy kernel & ROM I want, including different modems. Just wondering what the technical issues & tasks would be. And, of course, I'd need to know which, if any, non AT&T networks would work on the Cappy.

The Captivate will work on T-mobile, but because of the frequencies used by T-mobile u can only get the Edge on their network.
As far as other non att networks, u will just have to search and see what frequencies they use and then compare that to what the Cappy runs on. :thumbup:

The phone must be unlocked, and you can do that for free here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045
When you SIM unlock it, it can work on any gsm carrier like AT&T, T-Mobile, Vodafone, and most other international carriers
I am running it on T-Mobile but it only gets Edge.

If you perform a sim unlock your can always put it on a mvno like Straight Talk or Red Pocket. You can use HSPA on those instead of slow edge.

It's been awhile since I looked at modem particulars as well as goodies in LBS Test Mode, but IIRC, can't we specify bands and frequencies if need be, if the modem allows?

internet with tmobile

Hey guys someone offered me a samsung captivate for 50 bucks n it looked nice but its At&t and im a tmobile user ..................so even if unlocked the highest speed internet i can get without wifi is only 2g and edge right...........
P.s will that be enough for facebook/netflix?
thanks in advance

Edge is what u will get.
Facebook....yep, but probably really slow.
Netflix...i would say nope, because of the slow data transfer speed.
But in the end, it is whatever u r willing to tolerate.

As he said very slow. I used my captivate on Walmart family mobile which is powered by T-Mobile and it made me want to gouge my eyes out it was so slow... But they did throttle data speeds on that plan so you might have better luck.
Also if you decide to try it anyway and are a brave soul when it comes to tinkering there is a thread somewhere in here on a DIY unlock for the captivate. I can verify that it works as I've done it myself but I suggest backing up your efs folder first.
I have the thread bookmarked on my PC so I could link it for you later if you're interested.

Will the recent refarming of their network help us out like the iPhone users that have also been stuck on EDGE?

I was on the stock radio since my phone I bought with 2.2 then rooted...right now the radio us XJVT or something like that but no matter what radio it still picks up 3g cause like I said my area is reformed already

I'm going ahead and picking up a Vibrant pretty cheap tonight so I don't have to worry about it. Who knows how long it may be before everything is 3G? My Cappy can be a backup.

LTE question

I know our phones Hardware is exactly the same as the att note so my question is.. If it's identical hardware wise and with tmobile now has LTE wouldn't our phone be able to access the LTE? I'm on 10.1 and there is an apn that says tmobile LTE and I selected that. and in preferred network I put it on LTE/GSM/WCDMA... and the data all works and it does seem to be faster. I did a speed test and got 5 mpbs. I usually get 3-4....maybe I got partial LTE?? any expert advice is embraced! Thank you

I think you have to patch the radio to get it and even then, your battery takes a hit. I get a constant 10mbps down here in Los Angeles using the stock radio on HSPA+. If you are just changing your APN settings without patching, I'm not sure you are getting anything from LTE, especially if it's only 5 mbps.

Hey fraughtsiguewolf nice to see u reply... How or where can we find the patch?

I don't think there is one for our phone. I only saw it for the Nexus.

Is it safe to turn on domestic data roaming.?

Sprint had God awful signal reliability in my area at the moment
spelling errors courtesy of my HTC One

Yes but it won't do you much good.
The speeds are just as slow. At least, in my experience. There is no charge.
If your speeds are god awful, you can try to force roam, but there you enter murky waters.

Ur good with domestic but ur going to be running on 1x so it's still going to be slow only option would be to flash a prl that supports Verizon 3g but excessive use can get u the letter from sprint kicking u out of ur contract

No, but it's not really a thing XDA is super-friendly about discussing at times.
Anyway, it's safe to do so, but unless you're on a corporate account you'll be limited to 1xRTT, and Sprint's service will still pull ahead of Verizon's 1X speeds most of the time. Killing off the Sprint proxy servers coded into your EPST settings tends to be a safer bet for a speed boost, although it's hardly magic.
