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'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.

captivate is GSM and can be used for international travel. add to that it's closer to it's i9000 brother than the fascinate and is more likely to have a supported CM7 build (mainline) eventually. basically, if you plan on using your phone outside of it's "stock" state, I say captivate... if you don't plan on doing much more than root and lagfix, fascinate will do.

What service provider are you with? If I'm not mistaken the dincs and fascinates are on verizon, which don't use sim cards so the captivate wouldn't work at all on that network right?

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.

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.

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.

Well best of luck to you then. Not sure why your going to an iphone if you "need something to mod bigtime" though. Is there that much you can do to mod an iphone? Maybe I'm just uninformed. Also, sorry, I can hijacked your thread didn't I...
Sorry i wasnt very clear as i was driving lol. But the things that i like to do most with my phones im unable to do on this droid 4. One of my older phones was the htc hd2 and ran the core cell rom which was badass. Being that d4 will never see an unlocked bootloader means that modding will be minimum. I may be misunderstanding so please correct me if im wrong.

And hijacked? No not at all. Im trying to gather as much info as possible about what my future options may be with this phone if i were to keep it. I love everything about it. Iphone has an app via cydia called udidfaker that allows certain game players to run multiple accounts from one device. Android is unable as far as i know

There isn't actually that much that can be done with an iphone. Basically you have custom themes, jailbroken apps and free apps(if you're into that kind of thing) not much else.
As a motorcyclist, seriously, don't do it. I don't care if you wind up with an iPhone or a Droid4, but I don't want to wind up on your hood.
Honestly speaking i dont text and drive. I do service work and will usually wait till my next stop to even read them much less type and drive. I was just being silly. And i too ride. So everyone plz chill.

On another note. I found a trader for my droid for their iphone 4. The iphone 4 is a 3g phone and requires a micro sim. I believe my droid also uses a micro sim so can i use my 4g micro sim in the iphone 4 which is 3g?

Sent from my DROID4 using xda premium
The MicroSim on the Droid is a LTE SIMcard. The SIM Slot on the iphone is only for use abroad. The iphone does not have 4G LTE capabilities. You might want to consider a new support forum to get all your questions answered on your iphone. Android power users don't like to deal with dumbphones.

LOL. I would do the same as you (Ask for a step by step.) however, T-Mobile gets crap for reception in my town. It's not even 2G in my town, so no point in using it. AT&T in my area just recently upgraded to HSPA+. There is no 4G LTE (Even for Sprint or Verizon.)

AT&T is the only carrier in my town, for some reason that has 3G or HSPA+ coverage.
It's how backwoods my town is.
I myself am connected to HSPA+. When I was on Sprint and had my Evo 4G, I had to go to Boston (Over an hour drive) to be able to test it out. Otherwise I'd get about 600 KBPS or so download.

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.

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.
