Wanting to know if anyone is running a TMo S5? How's it running as far as signal or data speed?

There are a number of T-Mobile S5 owners using ATT and have commented on this forum and the T-Mobile forum check it out here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2724457 .
But to make a short comment I am using the T-Mobile S5 unlocked and rooted with TWRP recovery and am getting high LTE speeds, comparable to my ATT S4.
I do and everything is great. No problem with speeds.

Hi all.
I have been using my AT&T S4 Active on T-Mobile for the past week. I got it unlocked via an eBay seller and everything has been working great thus far. I had a question though regarding bands and whether or not all the bands available to me are unlocked. Right now where I live I pick up 4G/LTE (although not as strong in my apartment and cuts in and out periodically). I had read that when you unlock a phone via the code it automatically unlocks the bands that were previously not available (when locked to AT&T). Another thread I read that the user has to still unlock those bands. I was hoping someone could clarify this and point me in the right direction! Thanks guys!

Are you able to use mobile data with only unlocking the phone? I am about to buy this phone but i heard after unlocking only call/sms will work and not data.
I read here that for data we need to do other stuff
This phone says " LTE Bands 2, 4, 5 and 17" on AT&T website and I'm wondering if this phone will work on other carriers LTE network(T-Mobile, Verizon, or others?)? I know Verizon is CDMA and at&t and T-Mobile are GSM but can anyone answer this?

I got the AT&T SGH-i537 model. Pay $15 to have it unlock. Now using it with T-mobile. I got LTE. In some area, I got 23mbps download and 3.6mbps upload. It doubled my Galaxy Nexus speed. The device status info said I am on LTE:14
However, my mobile tethering is disabled. Need to find a way to enable that. Stupid AT&T lock it.
As long as you have the correct setting input into your phone your data will work ( assuming you have a data plan). I remember when the original Iphone came out I unlocked it for T-mobile and had internet on it even though it was branded AT&T only. (EDGE lol 56kb speed) but still it worked...
Root
I unlocked mine with ATT and used it with TMobile while I was in Hawaii. I only had to put my SIM in and I got pretty fast speeds (around 22mbps from what I remember) I don't know if that's the normal speed but compared to the crappy speeds on Guam it was lightening speeds to me! No root or anything needed, no difference after rooting either.
i can confirm it works minus teathering due to att
This is interesting as I thought ATT phones cannot receive Tmobiles LTE.

tmobile hspa + can get up to 42mbps so that sounds about right.

Hey, everyone.
My friend and I unlocked his Note and he switched to T-Mobile. We played around with flashing different radios and ended up with one that gets decent signal, but nothing that's satisfactory, especially at his house where my TMO S4 gets 4G. Are there other radios that work on this phone? Can it be any T-Mobile radio?

So you are using an ATT Note? Might try posting in the ATT forum as there are many ATT Note->T-mobile service users there.

I will do that. Thank you
I had the same problem as u as I used an at&t note for Tmobile and 4g speed sucked big time... The reason is because the frequencies and the antenna is different from Tmobile n at&t... U won't ever get actual 4g speeds unless u have an actual Tmobile phone... Unless there's a new way to do it but yeah ask over at the i717 rogers forum...

Can you use the S6 EDGE AT&T version on T-Mobile? Or would it be better to get one from T-Mobile and use that on AT&T and T-Mobile?
You can but only 3g I believe
T-Mobile probably since they have root and all that jive. But why would you want to have an ATT phone on T-Mobile?
Because I use ATT as well. I think the ATT variant didn't have 700mhz.
LTE worked.

That's really good to know. I saw a video on YouTube I can't recall which one though that shows the At&t phone prompting to do a T-Mobile software upgrade. Of course this is after the phone is unlocked and a T-Mobile Sim card is inserted. Is that true or is it a load of manure. Thanks in advance!

Wondering if there are any tmobile roms that work on a unlocked sprint version. I'm using a sprint rom now and it works ok. Just want to be the most compatible with tmobile as possible. I am a noob to using unlocked phones. I was with sprint for 10 + years and just switch to tmobile last week. Thanks in advance
Update- i flashed the the tmobile maximum ovrdrive n5 rom and its working great! Came from a sprint hybrid note 5 rom. Wiped and did a clean install and everything works great. Still no lte but my 4g has gotten better speeds. My new question is im still on my sprint ok1 modem should i try a tmobile modem or stay with it the way i have it?
I don't believe you can use a sprint phone on tmobile. Different network. And as for the rom. I don't think there are. I could be corrected but sprint phones are only good on sprints network and that's it.

Modern sprint phone support T-Mobile and ATT's HSPA network. Heck I used my unlocked Sprint S4 on ATT for about 5 months without any issues. Only thing was that I didn't get LTE.

I already have my sprint note 4 unlocked and working on t mobile Just don't get lte. Was wondering if a tmobile rom with the right modem would allow me to get lte. Maybe if a dev can make one or something
Hey peeps! I was wondering about using an AT&T ROM on my T-Mobile tab S2? I recently unlocked my T-Mobile Tab S2 and am currently using it on AT&T. I noticed that I don't seem to be able to get 4G LTE on it the same way I used to when I had it on T-Mobile. When I run speed test, I only get 3G speeds. Is there a fix for this? Or am I able to run a ROM from an AT&T TAB S2 SAFELY and be able to get better speeds? This would be my first time doing this if it's possible. I am well versed on rooting and running custom ROMS, ODIN etc.
I appreciate any and all help and PATIENCE with this! Thanks guys! :laugh::good::fingers-crossed:
