I picked up a T-Mo Galaxy Tab because it was advertised on their official specs page as having GSM 850/900/1800/1900 and (seemingly) compatible with the Rogers HSPA+ network on 850/1900. I bought it originally because it was about $200 less than a Rogers branded Galaxy Tab 7.
I've tried a variety of modems on both Gingerbread and ICS based ROMs.
Am I out of luck with compatibility with the Rogers network?
Thank you.
Have you tried jpz modem?
Maybe your apn incorrect too?

Yep, I've tried to use the JPZ modem, but still only got an EDGE connection. And I've triple checked the APN on multiple occasions and still could only get EDGE.
Opps. Looks like Rogers use UMTS 850MHz/1900MHz like AT&T in the USA?
If so then maybe it is not possible to use T-849 hardware.
specs:
GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS1700/2100 (B4), UMTS2100 (B1)
notice the UMTS bands supported.
God, I'm an idiot.
Thanks.

I'm looking to purchase a Galaxy S next month. I live in the USA, but I travel to Thailand every year. I'd like to get one phone that will work on both AT&T and AIS for both voice and data. (3G on both would be great!) While traveling in Thailand, I really want to be able to tether my netbook through the phone.
Anyone have recommendations as to which Galaxy S I should get?
over in Europe + Asia they only have 1 model
they all come with triband 3G WCDMA 900/1900/2100
and quad band Voice/EDGE 850/900/1900/2100
so you wont go wrong in getting any Galaxy S as "There Is Only One" (hmmm... sounds which movie was it from?)
unless you get the wrong Galaxy Lite, or Galaxy 5000 series, or Galaxy 8000 series or Galaxy 7000 series
My concern is the 3G WCDMA 850MHz vs 900 MHz for data. I know that AT&T uses 850 MHz, but AIS in Thailand is using 900 MHz. While it's true that 3G is just starting to roll out in Thailand (limited coverage and all), I would like to get a phone that I'll be able to use when they do get it all covered.
If I get an unlocked Captivate for use on the AT&T network, would putting in a sim from AIS automatically switch the 3G WCDMA over to the 900 MHz band (if available)?
Or is the radio hardware-fixed on this? (I've searched for an answer on this, but can't find a straight answer.)
there is no phone with both 850 and 900 3g...
I think your only chance for a 3G phone that works in both USA and Thailand is the Captivate. True Move in Thailand has 3G on 850mhz, which the Captivate uses.

That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure. I guess the GSM radio is separate from the 3G CDMA radio (since the GSM can do both 850 and 900).

I'll be traveling to Trat and Koh Chang. True doesn't have coverage there as far as I can tell.
Anyway, thanks for the info!
i would buy the i9000m from canada or the i9000t or i9000b from south america b4 the captivate.. captivate.. has poor 3g upload, and no front camera.

As far as I can tell, there's no 3G coverage in Trat and Koh Chang from any operator in Thailand. You'll only get GPRS/EDGE coverage there.
Hi,
Can anyone confirm that the Telus Milestone works properly on the Telstra NextG network?
My replacement phone just arrived from Expansys and instead of sending my original UK Milestone back they sent me a sealed Telus one.
There is so much conflicting information regarding the Telus Frequencies so I need your help.
I need to confirm'
1. The Telus Milestone is quadband GSM
2. The 3G Frequencies 850/1900 will work on Telstra's NextG Network or Vodafone's new 850MHz Network.
Here's your answer to the frequencies I believe: http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=116420
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_Droid
"US Version: dual band CDMA2000/EV-DO Rev. A 800/1900 MHz
European version quad band GSM, UMTS @ 900/2100MHz
N.A. GSM version quad band GSM, UMTS @ 850/1900 MHz"
Both Telus and Latin America (not Mexico) Milestones have 3G over 850/1900/2100 MHz frequencies. You probably will need to manually enter the APN settings for your provider if you will use Tellus stock rom. If you provider uses 900MHz for its 3G network, then it will not work.

Hi all, I am having trouble getting my unlocked note that I bought from amazon working on my Cincinnati bell network. I have voice but after searching the internet I tried a few different apn settings but can only seem to get the 2g edge network and not 3g let alone 4g. Any help would be greatly appreciated
i believe 2g is all you will get. cincinnati bell runs 1700/2100 3/4g and your note uses 850/1900. same problem as tmobile usa except the few western states using the 1900 for 3/4g.....
Jesus, how can a country that influent be so totally retarded when it comes to getting a mobile phone to work across the entire country? There's like a million standards and not even the same within a single operator. Get with the times - heard about GSM/WCDMA you know that the rest of the entire would uses?

Thanks, I heard T-Mobile runs the same network as Cincinnati Bell, would their galaxy s II work then?
tmous branded "should" work.. uses the same freq...
You can get more than 2G. CB has their own 3G network but you have to go to the store and upgrade your SIM card

That does not seem to be the point here... The point is that it seems Cincinnati Bell uses frequencies that are NOT compatible with the N7000 being the 1700/2100 band as opposed to the 850/1900 band that the N7000 uses.

Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F:
LTE: 800, 850, 900, 1800, 2100, 2600
I guess it depends on which country you're in to determine what band applies. Those are the associated frequencies though.

The international Samsung phones have yet to support america's LTE bands. I was really hoping that the Octa version would finally have worldwide LTE, but it turns out neither of the international S5 versions support LTE 4 or 17 (used on AT&T/TMo)
More than likely AT&T's way of forcing people to buy their version instead. This way people can't root, flash roms, or tether w/o a plan.
US variants and the I model ( Aussie model ) are the only ones that are LTE supported and are now pretty much all bootloader locked. Also all international models all come factory/carrier/bootloader unlocked too. Ive just moved here not long ago and dont really care for LTE so got my last 2 phones outside the country. I didnt realize about the bootloader lock until I got my S5 from ATT so Im hoping someone comes up with a method to unlock it.

Octa Version (G900H) doesn't have 4G LTE, only 3G. I have one of that here in Brazil.
canadian version
Looks like the Canadian version SM-G900W8 supports 8 LTE bands - which is all exept for the 800mhz (very common in Europe).
just google SM-G900WZKABMC-techspecs (cant post links)
Does your phone have to support every band a carrier uses for lte for you to be able to use lte on that network?
My s5 supports 5 of the 7 lte bands that att uses. Will I not be able to use lte at all with my phone?

AT&T operates LTE in band 2 (1900), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 17(700).
The T-Mobile bootloader is NOT locked and supports all the bands of AT&T and more. Plus, 900F roms work well on it if you keep the TMO modem.
So is it just a matter of changing the modems to get lte working on AT&T and T-Mobile with the 900F?
I just put a straight talk SIM (AT&T network) in my phone and I am reporting lte on my phone and getting download speeds of 15mbps +.

No. I don't think that the 900F has all the AT&T and TMO bands so it would be hit and miss at best.
And you want the modem designed for the device because it will utilize whatever bands that device is capable of using.
If you are close to a cell tower, 4g can do 15. I'm close to a cell tower here at work and my LTE can get 58 down.

Does that mean you can just stick an AT&T sim card into a T-Mobile S5 and have all the same capabilities as the AT&T S5, and more (like an unlocked bootloader)?

Almost. When you receive the G900T it will be locked to the T-Mobile network (unless you specifically buy one that is unlocked) so you do have to get it SIM Unlocked first. This allows you to use it on any GSM network. I paid 20 bucks online because no one has figured out how to unlock it for free yet.
After that I installed Omega rom but kept the latest TMO modem. It works perfectly. I got 58 down on LTE at work the other day.
Any idea how to get it to connect to the 4G/LTE network with SM-G900F

I'm using Samsung galaxy S5 SM-G900F in Pakistan, my problem is that i use 3G and 4G services in Islamabad(Capital of Pakistan) and Rawalpindi (twin city of capital) my S5 works fine but whenever i go around the country, i'm unable to use 3G or 4G services. Its continuously show me that i'm connected with 2G network or EDGE enable network. i've done everything(updating- from 5.0.1 to 6.0.1, resetting, carrier switching,some other freaking tweaks) , bandwidth also the supported with carrier network. i'm tired with this seriously....:crying::crying:
PLEASE HELP ME OUT of this Problem....
Hi every one i got a s8+ from t mobile i switch to at&t and my s8+ is not running the 4g lte of at&t i verified the APN and nothing i called at&t and they say the phone is not compatible with their 4g lte. What can i do?
To my knowledge, and others may chime in differently, the LTE bands are not compatible between ATT and T-Mobile. It would work in reverse, that is taking an ATT phone to T-Mobile, but not the other way around.

This info is from T-Mobile's website: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-34266
Network
4G LTE: 2, 4, 12, 66
3G / 4G (HSPA / UMTS / HSPA+): Band I (2100), Band II (1900), Band IV (1700/2100), Band V (850)
2G (GSM, GPRS, and EDGE): 850, 900, 1800, 1900
The hardware is EXACTLY the same. There is absolutely no difference between a T-Mobile S8 and an ATT S8. The only difference is the firmware. And you can install the ATT firmware on your S8, or even better install the Unlocked XAA firmware.
