4G

Does anyone no the date when at&t acctually gets 4G I'm tired of waiting I have a 4G phone but don't get 4G what the heck

I doubt it 'cept the corporate AT&T people. They seem to be rolling them out 3-4 cities a year. So who knows. In OKC, it might be 3 months from now or 20 years from now.

The Thrill is not a LTE phone. The Thrill will never get LTE speeds. The 4G for the Thrill is HSPA+. The reason people call it faux G is that its not that much better than 3G. Check the coverage map online, you may already be getting 4G speed (according to att), and not know it. I saw an increase from my captivate to the Thrill, about 50% increase, but not enough to actually notice on a daily basis.
Att announced today their first LTE phones, skyrocket and vivid.

When you got the phone, did you just put the old sim card in from your old phone? That is what the at&t store did when I bought mine and I was not getting very good speeds. Went to the store around the corner from me and they replaced my old sim with one that said '4g' on it and the Rep said something about not getting hspa+ on the older Sims. Not sure about his reasoning, but I do get anywhere between 4-8mb down now. I can never seem to get over 1.08 up speeds though. It acts like there's a cap on it the way it is so consistent.

Does your sim actually say 4g on it? I have a 4g chip at least they said I do, but it doesn't say 4g.

Just pulled it out and checked it. Plain AT&T sim. The one initially put in here was from my LG eXpo and came from my Incite from 2009. The Rep said that it needed a '4g' sim to actually get the speed. So he put a new one in. Can't complain as it worked.
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App

I think I have the same one, lol. Was just mashing sure it didn't say 4g because they told me it was a 4g chip.

Got my revo replaced with a bionic

Verizon finally replaced my revo with a bionic. I was tired of the revo screwing up so I said yes to it. Is the bionic any good? On their website it says Android 4.0 upgradable so I'm assuming I can upgrade to ICS on it or is that just for a later time?
I believe the bionic was actually a higher price point when the revo was still $199 or are they about similar phones?

The bionic is far better and has more development for it. No official ics yet though.

The only bad thing is its outdated. It was the first dual core processor phone for verizons 4G LTE that was delayed so many times. Its definetly and upgrade from the Revos hardware.

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.

LTE FIX!!!!!

As u know that with latest android update 4.2.2 Google turn off the lte access. No worries
It just the radios so just roll back to previous radios .33 or .24

Just go to this thread and download the modems and flash in recovery and guess what lte is back.....

well thats kind of common sense to be honest.
not really a fix but a workaround

has this worked for you by any chance?

I just finished doing this myself. It works, you just need to flash the 4.2.1 radio .33 over top of 4.2.2 and it works fine

Rolling back to the .33 radio on 4.2.2 broke phone call volume.
Returning to .48 fixes it.

I'm talking about the baseband update, not the actual 4.2.2 OS update. I've updated to 4.2.2 but downgraded the baseband, which has nothing to do with the media scanner bug.
I'm wondering what specific improvements/changes were made in the new baseband.

Do I have to be rooted to flash an old radio?

You need to have an unlocked bootloader at least to flash in fastboot.

Ohh, erm, **** knows.

Finding mine locks onto 3G better, slightly better signal, less battery usage.
I wouldn't go back to .33, even if there were LTE services in my area... I bought the phone knowing it wasn't a 4G phone, so I have lost nothing.

I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to use the newer baseband... LTE service here is amazing, and I am talking a huge difference (HSPA+ DC I get around 8mbps and 120ms ping, where with LTE I get over 40mbps and 18ms ping). Not sure if I want to give that up!!

The network could quite easily lock out your phone at any time anyway, as each handset identifies itself on LTE, so they only have to put a block on N4 ID strings, if they wanted to and use the non-approved card...

Guys, come on.... Just take another look at the subject of this thread.
Do you really think any company at all would release a 4.2.2 update to a phone that hasn't even received a 4.1 firmware? Straight from 4.0.4 to 4.2.2 - And from LG? Hah.
