[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E:V:A:
The baseband chip set is the same in Galaxy Nexus and i9300, so I see no other reason for not providing T-mobile compatibility apart from either not having had time to build the baseband firmware to conform to T-mobile networks or simply that T-mobile is doing something "wrong"! (Yeah, they tend to complicate things by reinventing the wheel, and Samsung are probably getting tired of having to provide them with separate models and modifications all the damn time, just because of it.)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike2518:
You're wrong.the reason they're doing this is because of Lte. They want to use the 1700 band for lte and the 1900 for hspa since they don't have many people using the 1900 bands for gsm. So it'll happen really soon.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plexicle:
I guess that depends on your definition of "really soon," but last I heard, TMo wasn't beginning the LTE transition until "early 2013".
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike2518:
But first they need to clear out the hspa 1700 spectrum for lte, and that's planned for later this year.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
Clearing out 1700 for LTE doesn't mean 1900 will be refarmed at the same time. They have been "refarming" for quite a while and still only have small areas to show for it.

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

It has nothing to do with T-Mobile. If pentaband phones can exist it isn't that big of a deal to include the band. It is a European phone and they don't use the 1700mhz/2100mhz combo band that T-Mobile uses.

T-Mobile also isn't the only carrier in North America to do this, so it's not like they're the only one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] citrix80:
galaxy s3 has HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 , no 1700. so it doesn't work with t-mobile 3g right now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farfromovin:
I've asked elsewhere, but does anyone know how to identify if the international version *definitely* does or does not have 1700? I mean, is there an app that breaks down the bands you *can* connect to or something? Or, does it have to be torn apart to find out? The reason I ask is Negri says it DOES support 1700 at the bottom of this page. I mean, I know Tmo is getting it eventually, but if it's down to a bastardized dual core Tmo version with no rom support or a highly supported international quad core version, I think I'd go with the international version. Even though it would only work on HSPA 21 vice HSPA 42 (if it works on Tmo HSPA at all of course).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lootes:
It states unconfirmed but a Latin America Samsung rep says it does. I wouldn't hold much value in that. According to GSMArena the 9300 does not have it. http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9300_galaxy_s_iii-4238.php

The rep maybe thinking of a slightly different variant, not the international one that is one sale that has the 1700 band.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamenramen:
Hi, when they refarm, do they use the 1900 band for download, and the 900 band for upload? Basically do I need to look for a phone with the 1900 band only, or does it need to have the 900 band as well if I want tmobile HSPA+ ?

HSPA+ is PLENTY fast, and already faster than my home cable modem connection. If HSPA+ saves battery life compared to LTE, I'll take it.

Truth be told, plenty of cheapskates are on Tmobile's $30 plan, and we're looking for phones that can be used on Tmobile with HSPA+ speeds. Heck, even regular "3g" speeds would be acceptable to me. It's the 2G speed that is unacceptable for everyone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] accordex:
From what I've read, they are moving21+ to 1900mhz supposedly by the end of the year, but who knows...have you dealt with them recently? I wouldn't count on anything, esp when it comes to shelling out $700 for a phone running at edge speeds hoping they get their sh*t together sooner than later. It sux, because I would gladly pay that to stay on $60/month unlimited talk/text/web and no contract.

Take your 3/4 g phone you have now and switch it to 2g, you can barely get navi directions...I would take 3g 4-7mbps and I-9300 any day over signing a contract to pay 2500 over the 2 years plus the 2-3 hundred for the phone...but looks like there isn't much choice.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
The only "international" phone recently, that I know of, has been the Nexus. Hopefully the next Nexii will also be pentaband.

Once the t-mobile version comes out, I'm sure you'd be able to get it either unlocked off a distributor or straight from them for full price.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emreeken:
I'm going to visit US for two weeks and I was planning to use my international SGS3 with a t-mobile sim and pay by the day plan ($3 a day for unlimited talk and 3G.). So now I see that I am going to be able to use it with 2G only. Do you know if AT&T has a plan like t-mobile's pay by the day?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] locoboi187:

then:

1) flash zImage.tar

2) enable 'unknown sources' and 'usb debugging'

3) open runme_for_fullroot.bat

[HTC Desire S] usoska:
Hi,

Whatever the ICS rom I try on my Desire S, I've never been able to have any sound.

At first, just after boot, sound seems okay : I can dial a number, and hear the dial sound. As sound as I start making a call, sound is disabled (speaker AND micro : no incoming/outgoing sound). Every sound is then disabled : incoming calls, music.

But If I plug the hands-free kit, the sound works okay ! ...

The only way to have sound working normal is to revert back to a GB rom.

This thing is making me crazy. I tried everything I could have been able to think about :

Updating radio (currently 20.4801..30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M)

Trying different HBOOT (currently S-OFF with hboot 2.00.202)

Updating recovery (currently 4EXT recovery touch v1.0.0.5 RC3)
[HTC Desire S] astro757:
I had no sound because of kernel problem. Try different kernels.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
H-BOOT and recovery will have effect so don't bother messing with them. Especially not the H-BOOT. It's more trouble than it's worth.

[General Questions and Answers] happyaron:
Hi,

The title looks a bit too general, but it is intended... I have booked a Mi-One, from the manufacture who produced MIUI. My phone isn't arrived but I saw some people said it's unable to overclock as the previous version of hardware. I don't have more details but basically I have two questions to ask:

1. Is it possible for a manufacture to lock CPU's speed for a phone on hardware level? I mean like what Intel does for most of their CPUs.

2. Is bootloader must not be locked so that one can flash a custom kernel supporting overclocking on specific CPU?
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
Bootloader and everything else are unlocked on the mi-one. You'll be fine,it's dual core and miui is already custom.

Hit thanks there's a button.Imetumwa kutoka U8150 kutumia XDA
[General Questions and Answers] happyaron:
The previous Mi-Ones are actually registered "Mi-One Plus" at relevant administrative section, and this time I'm booking the original "Mi-One", which has MSM8620 1.2GHz dual core CPU and 768MB RAM, other parts are not changed.

So I'm just wondering the CPU speed is locked at 1.2GHz, or they have only changed to the 1.2GHz version.
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
Well,from press releases,the bootloader is unlocked,so if the kernel doesn't support overclock you can always change it.

EDIT

Most everyone who pre-ordered has received a tracking number and a

"Scheduled For Early Delivery On:

Thursday, 05/24/2012"

So please don't re-post that information.

Feel free to continue discussion on other shipping/tracking/delivery related topics.

THANKS!

old...

Everyone who has placed a Evo 4G LTE Pre-order is expecting shipment information ANY MOMENT NOW.

Sprint (who I placed my order with about 2 minutes after pre-orders opened) should be sending notification emails out to us as soon as out phones ship, but I consider that unlikely to happen in a timely fashion.

Please use this thread to post when you receive your shipping confirmation/tracking number so that the rest of us can start refreshing our respective order status pages furiously.

The currently accepted Sprint methods of checking for tracking numbers are:

1. Wait @ your email inbox for a confirmation email

2. Visit www.sprint.com/myorder and type in your order number

It is important to note here that the order number found on your sprint.com order history (starts with DM...) will give you bogus info here. You need to find the preorder confirmation email that has an order number starting with "OY"

3. Gordon Ramsay's method here

Note: Some people have reported inconsistent information from this method and it may not be 100% accurate. Still, please report any interesting results if you try it.

If you'd like me to add anything to the OP about other pre-order suppliers, post "@addisonhammer"

Good Luck, and PLEASE REPORT ANY SHIPMENTS!

Note: Please keep idle chatter to a minimum, I'd like to avoid the banhammer here. The point is to crowd-source Evo Shipment info so I can actually work today instead of just wearing out my F5 key. I can't do that if people post on here bi7chin' and moanin' or talking about the SG3 or iPhone. So don't.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
This just gonna be for sprint orders or all orders? :D

Edit also probably a good idea to not have chit chat as well so people don't have to read 15 pages of nothing or same information.

Good question. Updating OP shortly...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mbmike29:
Should I view the lack of posts in this thread to mean that nothing was shipped out last night to pre-order customers?

Personally I'm unable to track by reference and the various traps I've placed (UPS/MyChoice, Sprint order status, etc) have yet to trip for me - but I was hopeful that at least some had shipped overnight. :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] addisonhammer:
Yes, but it is still pretty early. Considering the sheer volume of posts on the original "Preorder/Customs" thread late into the night (before being closed...) i would expect that volume on XDA wont pick up until later this morning.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dmaul3300:
I tried the methods and didnt find info about my tracking numbers, but as several others have posted, many times items are shipped and delivered before tracking numbers are posted.

I will continue to read the threads today and hope to have a package when I get home from work tonight. If not, hopefully it will ship tonight and get it tomorrow.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thechase80:
UPS process verified?

*EDIT: I withdraw my questioning of this process. Even though there were 2 reference numbers created, I can limit the date to a smaller window, and my tracking information is now available.

hey guys,

i've been keeping up with this whole debacle since i placed my pre-order on may 7.

has anyone actually verified this suggested tracking number retrieval process that everyone is clinging to for hope? at least for me, i'm 99% sure it's not the information i'm trying to find. whenever i follow this process, the UPS system says that my delivery was completed 5/17/12 at 1:05pm in North Carolina.

i live in Oklahoma... additionally, Sprint still lists my order as in progress, not completed.

there haven't been many others that i've seen have much or any luck with this either. most people can't even get it to find their elusive shipment information in the UPS system.

just wanted to throw this info out there for anyone receiving strange results while using the suggested method.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nobylspoon:
Sounds like it was just a coincidence that another shipment used a reference number that matched your Sprint account number.

I'm not saying one way or another if the Sprint account number is used by UPS as a reference number, just saying that with the massive amount of shipments in their system, it isn't unlikely for their to be a few coincidental matches.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Skullmonkey:
I called the 800 number. I would assume they are shipping both. I asked about pre-orders specifically.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bgsherris:
To the stores, maybe, but to customers, I wouldn't assume that...because that would result in an awful lot of Sprint pre-orderers that would be mad as hell...and I don't think Sprint would be foolish enough to allow that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] addisonhammer:
I have actually suspected this method myself... but I recently completed an order for a new iPhone for my wife (i know... yuck) and that order shows up when i do the UPS "Search by Reference" method.

I am really shocked there's no release date yet. I mean, are the shipments still having trouble getting through Customs? I figured they'd have done a whole slew at once. They still must not have enough for a national release date or they'd have it announced immediately I assume. Glad I went with Sprint!

Yeah I can see that. I just figured that the same logistics for the original release date would apply here.

On a different note, ISN had no information for us today really, huh? Only that the phones are "still shipping"? I'm not sure who's getting them - but apparently not xda members! Maybe the 3rd party vendors are the ones who are getting the shipments he's hearing about?
