i see.. so, tmo right now supports 1900 for their 4G. and the samsung galaxy s3 uses 1900, right?

i'm a bit confused here.. maybe you, r3a1ist or someone can help. i called tmo and they said that the samsung galaxy s3 works on their 1700 - 2100 while at&t has 850 - 1900.

i'm really confused because on the tmo website, the specs for the SGS3 says that it works on the following bands:

tmo:

850 MHz;900 MHz;1800 MHz;1900 MHz;UMTS: Band I (2100);UMTS: Band IV (AWS);UMTS: Band V (850)

i got 4 questions:

1) what frequencies does the tmo version work on.

2) what are the frequencies that at&t uses for its SGS3.

3) what frequency does tmo use for its 4G (internet) network.

4) when LTE comes out next yr on tmo, will samsung release a new line of SGS3 specifically for tmo to work on its LTE?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tamasrepus:
Never, probably… I don't have a source (you can Google it) but T-Mobile does not have enough spectrum in NYC to do much shuffling.

You're not reading the thread, and/or are not understanding technical details. Answering your original question:

No, it won't.

The Sprint model apparently does not work. The AT&T may work later this year depending on your area. Are you asking whether you want to make a $500+ bet that it will? That's up to you—I wouldn't.

I rarely get straight or correct answers from TMO's support, but yes—that's correct. What are you confused about?

1) It works on the frequencies you posted. Let's rewrite that:

GSM/EDGE (aka 2G): 850, 900, 1800, 1900 Mhz

UMTS/HSPA+ (aka 3G/4G): 850, 1700 (aka AWS), 1900 MHz

Is it less confusing now?

2) AT&T uses 850 Mhz and 1900 MHz for their HSPA+ service.

3) TMO as of July 2012 uses 1700 MHz for most their HSPA+ service. T-Mobile will support HSPA+ on 1900 MHz in some parts of the USA by the end of the year. Very few areas (T-Mobile has only officially disclosed a tower near the Moscone Center, in San Francisco) do so now. Concrete details are sparse and nonspecific.

4) Next year is a long time—the SGS3 will be old by then, and the Galaxy Note 2 or SGS4 will have been announced. Nobody can predict the future. But, looking at the past, TMO released a new "4G" version of the Vibrant, so it's also likely they release new "LTE" versions of their phones.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bldon2:
its much less confusing now. thank you so much. its looks like the tmo tech guy i called was ignorant and didnt know what he was talking about. again, thanks.

one last question.. do you think that if i got the tmo version of the SGS3 and when LTE is released that the phone will no longer use HSPA? when LTE comes out, will the phone no longer use fast internet?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tamasrepus:
Yeah… that's a complicated question whose answer I don't yet understand myself.

TMO is doing their 1900 MHz refarming to free up 1700 MHz for use w/ LTE. Stuff I'm wondering:

What happens to older 3G/4G devices that don't support 1900 MHz? Do they lose their 3G/4G Internet? Note: the GS3 supports 1900 MHz, and does not have this problem.

How is TMO going to deploy in spectrum crunched areas (like NYC)? They don't have enough spectrum to move everyone over to 1900 MHz—does this mean 1700 MHz HSPA+ will be cut off when they bring 1700 MHz LTE online? Your non-LTE GS3 might lose 3G/4G Internet in this situation—but I doubt TMO would do this to anyone with a phone still in contract.

All in all, make your purchasing situation on the situation today. The next new thing is always around the corner.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bldon2:
hi tamasrepus... just to let you know, when i called the tmo rep like i told you in my previous post, he said that the SGS3 will use LTE.. but after your answers discredited him, i dont believe him. i guess we got to wait and see.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] murdermonkey9000:
But LTE is a gsm technology, currently sprints/Verizons phone (Verizon razr maxx works on international/att networks after a recent update) is a hybrid, but they have weird lte frequencies, I've read that all US carriers will have incompatible freqs, but qualcom is building a chip that does them all plus European ones.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] r3a1ist:
It's simple, T mobile phone works on At&t HSPA but not LTE. At&t phone works on its own HSPA and LTE but not T moble 1700 HSPA. We've been trying to see if we can make it work on t mobiles 1700 hspa band, no luck yet. To make matters more uncertain. T mobile says they're refarming their 2g/edge spectrum to work on At&t's 1900 HSPA band. The At&t phone out of the box would be able to pick up this 1900 HSPA t mobile refarm. Although reports of this actually occuring are sporadic and they also fired the CEO who's plan it is a couple weeks ago. LoL. If you get that, that's the complete break down. So here you go:

T mobile phone - Supports both T mobile and At&t HSPA 4g speeds, no LTE of any kind.

At&t phone- Supports At&t LTE and HSPA only right now, t mobile HSPA "may" be available for it's antenna's in the future.

So for the Skyrocket S2 on AT&T it was possible to flash a T-Mobile S2 radio and use it on T-mobile 4g. Is this possible on the AT&T S3?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] r3a1ist:
Just ordered a skyrocket. That phone has lte and can have radios flashed for t mobile. Has same mp cam, amoled plus screen etc etc etc. 350 for a phone I can make compatible with every high speed 3g provider in the world and at&t lte. Guess I know why they call it the skyrocket. By the way it comes with a 1.5 ghz dual core snapdraggon too, yes I know the differences.. Now the carriers can compete for my business. Not sure there is hardware in the 747 s3 for tmobile yet. Can't take that risk. Pebble blue goin back.

Since my wife and I got our GS3s, we have noticed that sometimes when we call each other the quality is almost crystal clear. It's like we are standing in a room together.

It only happens on about 1 in 10 calls though.

Does anyone know what I'm on about?

We were both on Tmobile at the time. We are now on Orange and Three.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IFireflyl:
I've had nearly perfect reception and crystal clear voice quality on pretty much every call I've made and received. Granted I was on AT&T, so that might have something to do with it since you're on T-Mobile. So far I've never been disappointed with the in-call quality.

I believe this will only work when both phones are hd voice compatible AND both phones are connected to cell towers that support it.

My brother and i both have gs3 and have not been able to demonstrate hd voice working and i believe its because of the cell towers/networks not the actual devices.

Trying to decide whether to get it from T-Mobile with a dual core processor, or an International model with a quad core.

Does the international model work on either 3G, HSPA+,or HSDPA on T-Mobile? What other differentiation are there?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
No, the international wont work on TMO. Well it will but you will only get 2G speeds. When TMO switches over to the 1900mhz band it will work(HSPA+) and I think they already switched in a couple of locations but it will take a while before it's fully switched over.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creamop66:
HI,

Is there a way to capture the URL when we eventually receive the official Jelly Bean OTA update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
alogcat

When/if you see the notification that you have an update available -- stop everything and run the aLogcat app.

Send the log file to yourself via email (that's built into the app)

Look through the log file on your computer, searching for a URL

Try any URL's that you find on your computer's browser

When you find one that downloads a zip file, save the zip file to your computer

Shout from the rooftops, and share that URL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
In addition to what zephiK said, once the OTA is installed, you can look in the log files in the /cache directory. Open them in a text editor, and the name of the file (ending in .zip) will be in one of them.

[G2 and Desire Z General] PNuT.:
what does your bootloader screen come up with?
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
you do realize that downgrading only allows you to exploit your phone but doesn't actualy give you root access. at this point you need to follow the rooting procedure in the xda or cyanogen wiki
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
I used the guide from cyanogenmod, so I'd recommend this route as well. Like demkantor said, downgrading the firmware just makes the phone exploitable, you need to continue forth with getting it rooted, and then back up to a 'usable' firmware.
