It is official. No ICS for the rev. (we all knew it but Verizon has now confirmed it)
http://phandroid.com/2012/03/06/ver...devices-to-receive-ice-cream-sandwich-update/
That is a little annoying considering my Revo is only 3 months old and now its at EOL and no ICS.
Yeah we all got duped by Verizon and LG on this one. I will be passing on any of their smart phones ever again. Even if they do the next Nexus. Sticking to HTC or Motorola.
What ever
If you read the article I posted they are still adding 4G devices to the list eventually more of there phones will have it simply because there are no 3G devices on the list you think its 4G only? Read the link on tomshardware!!!

You lost me at the 4G only part. Neither of us mentioned 3G/4G anywhere. I just stated that Verizon so far is passing on the Revo for ICS upgrade and that I will never buy another LG smart phone (3G or 4G) again.
And while they may still add the REVO to the list, most people will be ready for their upgrade by then making it pointless.
Got until about the following April for my next phone so I'll be stuck with this phone for quite awhile.

There is a 3g device on the list. The HTC Incredible 2 is 3g.
I wouldn't count on the revolution getting ics, officially or unofficially. At least not a properly working version. This was Verizon's red headed stepchild of their LTE phones.

Good morning to you too.
Not at this time. I was told to give it about 20 more days when the Note comes out on Tmo so they can compare the 2. Then they will go from there!!

The Tmo Note has the same guts as the ATT version. I really don't think the N7000 will ever have Tmo high speed data. That is of course unless you live in an area where tmo has refarmed their 1900mhz to also use 3g data. It really is too bad because I want to use the 3g data on my Int Note too.
And aaronuser, I am sorry but that is why we have rules for the forums. Otherwise it is just clutter.
since they use different network so you only got 2g ( like my gt7000 ).But my friend just got a AT&T unlock for Tmobile at dealer in CA which able to use 3/4g with little trick...Hope this help :victory:

Hi bud,
don't get your hopes up high.. T-mobile sucks...Their 4G slate isn't even close to a real 4G connection.
I am positive that I came across a thread in the Skyrocket section that was titled for and provided a tool to port any Skyrocket ROM to ....? (some device that I can't recall). I can't find it now (been searching about 45 mins) but am positive it was there. Anyone know what I am referring to?
My point to the above is that it would seem with the similar hardware that tool could be used (with some modification) to port to the i957. I have a current interest in this as I hope to pick an i957 up soon.
*I came across the tool because I recently got an ATT Note and DT at droidhive ported a Skyrocket rom to it (which was showing before droidhive was hacked). I went looking around to see what was interesting in the skyrocket area here and found the tool. Really wish I would have noted the url.

I have both the skyrocket and the i957. I believe the thread you are referring to was a tool to port T989 (Tmobile) to I727 (ATT) and vice versa. I am also interested in porting skyrocket roms to the i957. I think the difficulty lies in the fact that the i957 only has a honeycomb kernel, and using the skyrocket ICS kernel could cause a brick. I would like to look into it further though, and may inquire within the skyrocket forums later today.
Yeah finally found the hellraiser tool again. Forgot they never released hc source so porting is a pain. Good luck with the other forum. I got my Note the day ics rolled out so maybe i will buy the 957 soon and bring us all some good fortune.

Kernel source for the Honeycomb i957 kernel can be had directly from Samsung's open source release site:

Yea hc source has been out a while

That's right. They were going to release it after ICS. Been that long since I thought about it although I think now only having HC on a tablet I'm buying will keep me up every night. :crying:

Honeycomb is actually pretty sweet on a tablet, and the i957 ICS update from Samsung is currently in test at ATT.
If you want a hacker's tablet, get a tegra-based tab already supported by Cyanogenmod

Thanks for the heads up but I def have done a lot of research. I want the ATT LTE version for the cpu (not a tegra fan). I'm not even on ATT so I will just use it with my vzw Mifi like my Note. I really wish Verizon would get a phone with a decent screen size (phablet). I know the dev community for the i957 is small but will be fine with it at least on ICS with it debloated and deodexed. I don't want honeycomb because I always immed increase the dpi in ics/jb so nothing shows in tablet mode. I can't stand tablet mode and small icons.
*Plus since it's Qualcomm I'm hoping I can reverse the work done getting Bionic to work on GSM and maybe get this puppy and my Note working on Verizon. Maybe not possible but I'm willing to tinker...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297714
EDIT: Unlike GSM the CDMA networks have a database of MEID/ESN numbers that they allow to activate. Maybe I can get away with using my SIM that's already activated in a verizon phone. Part of the trick is to not go through the activation when updating the radio. Who knows...

100% with you on this, I hate having to wear glasses to read crap on my tab. A big part of the reason I got it is so I can read on it and pinch zoom the text bigger, but more than half the apps are unreadable.
I can't wait til you get this working.

Hopefully this means if I can get my Note working on vzw using the reverse qualcomm hack for bionic I can flash the radio to the 8.9 and that would work as well. Already excited about trying this stuff out and don't even have a 8.9 yet.

If at&t note radios work on the 8.9 that just might open the door for a working phone.
Big emphasis on maybe.
Otherwise I dunno.

If dan-htc has already flashed Note radios on the 8.9 then likely flashing the current Note radio would be a step toward getting working ATT network phone capability on the 8.9. Not sure about the required hardware related pieces that may or may not exist in the 8.9.
For my purposes - There is a firmware hack that gets a qualcomm chipset with only cdma radio firmware to work on a gsm network. I'm hoping the similar qualcomm chipset found in the Note and/or 8.9 currently only with gsm radio firmware can be hacked to work on a cdma network. I only need the hack to allow for data so any additional hardware in the device that may be required for voice won't matter.
So basically I hope to get an ATT Note and/or ATT 8.9 working with a VZW sim card for data.

Did you ever get this working? I'm particularly interested in getting the tab 8. 9 working with a verizon sim
Hey there, I just got an S4 Active hooked up with T-Mobile's $30 plan. There's really sparse information on the S4 Active, and even less for people who are using T-Mobile on the S4 Active.
My problem is I'm only getting EDGE. I've searched the forums and found a couple of people who say they plugged in their SIM and it worked flawlessly. Is there anything I need to do? Open up AWS? I've tried using default APN, calling T-Mobile and having them give me the information, and using APNs I've found online, but I still get EDGE.
It'd would be a shame to have such a nice phone and only be able to use EDGE.
Edit: I've also tried enabling AWS using this guide [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291589], first it says "USSD Code running", then I get an error saying "Connection problem or invalid MMI code."

a lot of people are useless when it comes to answering your very question. the eponymous: how can i git tmobile 4g lte on at&t s4 active? simple really. in fact if it weren't for raydi07 talkin about the service menu i would've been stuck on edge and returned my s4 active. Raydi07 is better than geohot
here's how you get 4g LTE to work.
google search: "How to Enable T-Mobile HSPA+ AWS Bands on AT&T Galaxy S4"
the part where it says: Step 2. Dial “*#7284#” on your dialer. Use *#0808# instead
follow everything else by the book.
you'd think "durr this method only flashes hspa+ bands durr" no. I get 4G LTE on my at&t s4 active. sometimes it just says 4G tho when im out in the boonies like where the other useless people are

Thank you so much! *#0808# Worked perfectly. I followed the guide closely, and I now get 4G. Could I ask what you have your *#2263# set on and your *#*#4636#*#* data preference?
yeah boy
I got my 2263 set to lte/wcdma dunno about the other thing but I never been dropped to 2g or 3g always stayed on 4g with the occasional 4g lte! I don't want automatic cuz maybe it'll save some battery so it doesn't scan for signal all day. If rather 4g or not have any data at all

So after a while, are you still happy with your S4 active on TMO network? Is it solid 4G or shaky? Does it also support HSPA+ ?
Sorry too many question on my mind but I have to make up my mind on deciding between S4 active or Xperia Z. Thanks

Yes Once you Flash AWS Bands for T-Mobile your phone is full flashed T-Mobile Phone that works on full HSPA+ 3G and LTE as long as APN is right.

4G LTE or possibly HSPA+ will not work on your international version S4 Active I would recommend to go to AT&T Store and buy full paid or eBay or swappa.com have some AT&T S4 Active unlocked that will work on AT&T and T-Mobile LTE
Also i m not sure if you need s4 active then s4 because not that much of protraction and you are giving up on better screen and Camera MP
If it was up to me I would stay with regular s4 but that's just my own opinion
no usb storage
so im still new at doing things like this and i attempted to figure out how to do this but wasn't able to wich is no big deal but now when i conect my phone to my pc the storage doesn't show up not sure if this is what caused it or not but if anyone could help that would be great btw sorry if im posting this in the wrong place im also new to xda
SGS4 Active No HPFS
I have followed every step, but I still haven't seen the changes. I get no errors, the QPST programs says completed and my phone reboots. I've done this several times and still no change. Has anybody had luck doing this with an S4 Active(i537) The QCN I found just said s4, i337, is there one for the active?
i537 qpst no phone
First, please forgive me as I am a novice at best,
My wife bought 2 unlocked i537 for us for Christmas off of ebay from different sellers. We are currently with T-mobile and notice that the 4g seemed to drop in and out. Upon reading the "[GUIDE] Using I537 on T-Mobile and other AWS Networks", I successfully got one phone to work, however I have been trying for a week, almost 2 weeks to get the other one to work with no success. I've tried numerous drivers, pc, cable etc... I've compared the settings on the phones *#0808#, *#2264#, *#0011# *#*#4636#*#* and any of the others I've found. The ports show up in device manager without any issues.
Android version 4.2.2
Kernel 3.4.0-784654 [email protected]#1
Build JDQ39.I537UCUAMF3
SELinux status Permissive
My question(s) are:
1. Is there a way to get qpst to recognize the com port without coming back with "no phone"
2. Is there another tool or software I could use to do the AWS flash?
3. If none of the above, Would it be possible or even correct to copy something from the working phone to the non-working phone? of course without damaging the IMEI/ESN...
Instructions are helpful as I am new to this, but very interested in learning.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!!
UPDATE!!!!!!!
I did a factory reset while plugged into the usb and qpst picked it up upon rebooting. I don't however find this as a solution, but Now I have the AWS enabled.
also have s4 active on tmobile
I have a similar problem. I just got my gs4 active , and while I get 4g service, most of the time I just don't get data at all. I already rooted and enabled hspa from a guide off "high on adroid" but the problem persists. I'm determined this is a at&t locking there bandwidth issue but I don't know what else to do in order to free my phone. Any advice would be appreciated. .
Hay, Guys This is @talvigi back with a simple but specific to my region question, and it is most vital for many guys like me because all the dumped devices come directly here.
Sorry guys if someone hurted but truly, now-a-days nobody around me buys a new phone because most of the flagship devices of 2013 and 14 are now available in cheap prices, so who pays a lot for a new phone when he/she knows the thing is going to be 50% cheaper within months if not weeks.
My problem is that i have bought an AT&T Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900A (now running Lollipop N900AUCUEOC2 stock, and not rooted i have updated it vide SDcard update from recovery)
As far as we now have Warid 4G LTE Services available in our area and many of my friends are using them on their Gfive LTE 2 and LTE 3 devices, so my concern builds up as i have a better device compared to GFive's LTE 2/3. But i have done all my best to connect to LTE all in vain.
i have tried the method which i saw in the forum and it worked for someone's AT&T Galaxy S4 *#*#0011# but as it was made specifically for Galaxy S4 but i did try it with no result, and i also tried the *#2263# selected LTE Band Preference as LTEB3 (because Warid is on 1800 FDD Band 3) and also selected [7]LTE/GSM Mode Only(*). But still no luck on my note 3.
And in the last the *#*#4636#*#* which brought me to an screen where i was able to see the "Device Info" which shows us i thing all the information currently available in the device and gives us the of RUN PING TEST and there is a thing says :"Set preferred Network type: LTE/GSM auto (PRL)
TURN OFF RADIO and many others.
So guys any one interested helping poor people in the world
And i'm sorry for my poor English and always incomplete questions too,
Still waiting for someone to response my little big question.
My friend's Galaxy S4 i337 also does int Support the Warid 4 G LTE
.
AT&T Galaxy Note 3 @N900A has the band 3 (1800) band
I have checked it by entering to service mode *#2263#. Now the point of talk is that, why the hell it doesn't connect to Warid LTE which is running on band 3, whether this band is banned by the AT&T or does it need some special tweaking to get working on that band my post has some screen shots from service mode. All the devs and gurus are requested to at least comment on it bcz your words are leaders for us guys.

Check if the IMEI on the phone (in About Device, or using *#06#) matches the IMEI on the back of the phone behind the battery. I had an S3 that had this problem, would only work on 2G/GSM, never on LTE, and it was because of a corrupt EFS partition (reflected by incorrect IMEI).
If this is the case, there are ways to set it right, but I believe it is illegal to discuss them here. All I can say is that everything you need to do it is available on these forums. Good luck!
Well the iemi matches and my phone is not a refurbished one so that isn't the case
