Has anyone had any luck with putting the Tab on Metro or Cricket? Or any othe byop mvno?
I am in the process of researching and trying to do this so any help would be appreciated. I know that at the moment PagePlus is not an option.
Any Luck?
There's a thread about flashing the Sprint Tab to Boost Mobile, but haven't seen anything related to cricket etc..
Long story I'll make it short. My friend ask for my help on his Samsung galaxy s from t mobile original.
his wife had it and she got the s2 and sold the phone to a family member in Brazil. they couldn't get it to work with there network and sent it back to them. So he kept it for himself. Now when he starts the phone it say telsa (something like that) Instead of t mobile. he can only make and receive calls maybe text but he gets no 3g internet at all. I looked in the apn and a t mobile apn is there.
Can anyone help. He knows nothing about how to do this. I have a motorola atrix so I have an idea. If anyone can tell me how to get this back to t mobile it would be great.
Thanks in advance

Is the t-mobile apn selected? Check if the settings are correct for your carrier.

apn was selected. checked the setting in the apn and matched it to couple i saw online. But I saw one difference. MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0 is not on the apn thats on the phone. I tried to make a new apn but MMS Protocol is not there. Also I just found out that even though it says galaxy s on the back of the phone he told me its the 3g version which is the vibrate from t-mobile. So I might have posted this in the wrong section.
could they have put a different baseband like one for telsa maybe thats why it doesn't work for t-mobile
Hey guys, i wanted to know is there a Mod or a method where i can Enable 3g/4g on my Samsung Note through Simple mobile? I only get Edge service under this company " Simple Mobile" which they state their service is powered through T-mobile Towers. Can anyone help ?
N7000 does not support TMobile 3G. Someone is working on it but no luck yet.
If you want TMobile 3G, move to an area where TMobile has started using the 1900 Mhz band for buy an ATT Note and do the hack. The N7000 uses a different radio chipset so moding the firmware from the Skyrocket will not work on the N7000. So don't even ask about using the ATT hack on the N7000. It's been mentioned by virtually every newbie, you will get flamed!
Try searching for Gophone or Straight talk for prepaid.

You could also consider switching to Straight Talk. I'm using it right now. Works great.

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."

yea
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.
I am using AT&T S4 On T-Mobile from 2 months no problem

By APN Make sure your APN is LTE APN not epc one

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. .
I cannot seem to get my T mobile Note 3 to work on ATT LTE. I used the settings under APN that has been posted on this forum to no avail. I just get a circle with a line through it. Thus far all I can get is 4G using APN Cingular.WAP.
thanks.

If you gave them your IMEI number, it thinks its a dumb phone and your stuck with 4G. Rep is stupid and cannot fix it, just spent 20 minutes on the phone dealing with this issue.

Correct, I told the rep ( as I remember reading it on here ) to put it as a smartphone android. How do I go about getting them to register the IMEI of a non ATT phone as a smartphone on their system?
Thanks.

Thanks for your response. Mine was already on LTE/WCDMA/GSM but to no avail. Do I have to give ATT a smartphone LTE IMEI number to get this to work?
