Just saw this and thought I'd chime in. I've had straight talk for almost three years straight and i love it! I will never go back to contracts as long as they keep it up. only downside is you don't get an upgrade. But you can shop around and find a good deal on a phone with all that money you're going to save from not being on a contract. I always tell people, why not give it a shot? If you don't like it, don't refill, and go sign with a carrier.

Straight talk doesn't have lte correct? I'm in Orlando FL and att is doing something with a new company they call AIO wireless and supposedly is att coverage with lte. I want to give that a try so when my i777 dies I'll get an lte phone

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
I dont think so. Straight talk uses att's network here. At least with my s2 they do. Different phones will use different coverage. Some will use verizon, others will use sprint. You have to check their website to see which phone has which coverage. Unless of course you bring your own phone. With Att we dont have "4G" but we have HSPDA (or H+) which is like lte. Ive had speed tests on it which range from 1-6 mps dl and 1-2Mb ul speed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fiffan86:
No lte coverage for straight talk on att period. Att gophone let's you use lte now.

sorry a stupid question...my contract with AT&t jsut ended and now I am just paying on a monthly basis, interested in switching to straight talk and i wanna take my number with me to straight talk...question is should i set it up with straight talk first before calling AT&T to cancel my service or should i call At&T first to cancel and then set it up with straight talk?

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Go here; all your questions will be answered, and then some. When I made the switch I changed my number completely, based on the issues outlined in the link I provided. Have never had any issues with ST, love it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] devoidx:
Thanks man ..definately an informative link but I still couldn't find the answer to my question...I trying to figure out at what point do i call At&t to cancel my service with them...after I have already ported my number and am set up with straight talk or before even contacting straight talk...

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

Ok so I straightalk customer service finally replied...apparently when number is ported my service is automatically cancelled with At&T so i don't need to call them to cancel anything...good to know i guess
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
Yeah........ And when I ported mine and my wifes we were still in a contract....... And they never charged us the cancellation fees for either device..... :profit: ;):cool:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
So just curious... Anyone here that used to be on contract with AT&T, switched to straight talk and now wished they haven't? I mean are there any major issues that make you think you might go back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Can't think what, except for ST's history of poor customer service which may turn some people off, but even that's improved - at least somewhat. I know it's not a good idea to buy a phone from their website, because there's a good possibility you'll get a refurbished model (they usually advertise which ones are/aren't, but this isn't always the case).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Indeed! My wife ordered her r phone off their website. Two days later we had to send it back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
This has nothing to do with the s2 but does with ST........ I just ordered my 4g micro sim for my note3! :cowboy:

rooted,recovered,and rebooted from the ol' i777.......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Here's something that DOES have to do with ST; read today that they now offer LTE for us existing AT&T users. Only problem appears to be we have to call them to activate it, and that may be a challenge. Going to try it Monday.

Hope you get your Note soon, sk8ordie0:thumbup:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Are any of y'all using the straight talk s2 variant (sgh-s959g)? I'm wondering if this phone is even lte capable. I've read some conflicting info so I'm still not sure.

I tried some lte apn settings but could not get them to work. The one i DID get to work had a higher ping but lower download speeds. Still not even entirely sure it was using the lte network... :sly:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
Here's an update:

Well, not much of one, really. No surprise the 2 CS people I spoke to had no idea what I was talking about, regardless of this news being all over the place. So I looked on their site and saw the cards sk8ordie0's talking about. So I suppose to get LTE on our phones we need to buy those SIM cards, the good news is they're only $7, but there's no guarantee they'll work for the i777.

My guess is probably not.

No big deal, I'm almost always on wifi, but when I get the new phone I'm totally buying these cards.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
Sweet..... My brother n law texted me saying I needed to get one of those "4g lte" cards the other day....... Hell I didn't even know they had those available....... I ordered it on the spot....It was 12 and some change with shipping......... Not many folks left here in this device.........but the casa is bumping!!!!!!;)

Any thoughts on what your getting next? I heard amazon is making a contract free, FREE phone....... Because of the adds they can so that and still make out........

rooted,recovered,and rebooted from the ol' i777.......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
I thought that Amazon phone was bogus! Anyway, I'm heavily leaning towards the Nexus 5 - mainly for the price, but also the sheer amount of development it will get. And the fact that it may possibly be modeled on the LG G2 is not a bad thing at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] devoidx:
our i777s don't have lte capability, correct??

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
I've read all the way through this thread, and I'm VERY interested in ST on my i777's, but there are a few things that I don't understand.

I took an unlocked at&t flip-phone to costa rica, and purchased an ICE card, and we were able to use the phones with no further modification.

SIM cards identify/authenricate you on the network, so why do we need to tweak APN stuff?

once I alter these APN settings, I would need to change them back again if I ever returned to AT&T, correct?

root & rom & recover from cwm is as far as my phone-tech-abilities have taken me thus far.

I believe that it's easy to do; I wonder why it seems necessary in some cases, but not in others?

-Cyril
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
Its very simple my friend there different frequencies do to where you are in your location and that fact you would have to create a new APN to get the signal that you need on your network as you return back you can always click on the APN that is previously saved on your device meaning you don't have to create a new APN everytime rather just click the APN that you have saved before..... I hope you understand what I'm saying and you can also get the tmobile sim for straight talk as well not only just the AT&T straight talk sim........ Also now they offer 4G LTE on AT&T straight talk sim that's what I currently have and speeds are great!!! I hope this helps you out!!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TomH54:
When I gave up on AT&T and went to Straight Talk I asked for and was given the code to unlock my phone. Was this step necessary seeings that ST uses AT&T towers?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
Not really .... But if you wanna try TMO sim on straight talk or prepaid TMO plan you can use your at&t phone if it supports the correct bands.... Its at&t ...... They buy the bandwidth off of them .... No difference.

4g LTE

You get 4G LTE on the I-777 with new sim ? I read it was not in hardware on I-777 and I-989.

Apn settings mvno or tfda ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
No, you can't get LTE on the i777.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] royfas:
Thanks for confirming no Lte on I-777. I wasn"t sure if a custom ROM could work around the hardware somehow to allow it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
No, not possible. Sk8ordie0 is using the ST LTE sim on his Note III, although when he posted he probably hadn't updated his signature. If he pops in this thread, hope all's going well with him!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
Good here my friend!!! I hope you and your family are doing well! Happy holidays to you all! ..... i777 doesn't offer 4G but most all newer devices do.... except the " international" phones which support the gsm 3g network which is standard..... I do have to say between to new phone and upgraded st speeds (4g lte) I get great reception and speeds everywhere. ... I'm in the mountains of NC right now and my wife is on Verizon towers and she lost signal..... I don't show any bars but still have service.... :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Aztlanow:
I have a st sim but I'm really unhappy with it losing connection all the time with data. Speeds are at 3g after a second and Google play need a try and it's good. So it's tolerable if your locked to at&t. Then I got an email from t mobile they offered a month free service but I had read that we could only get edge speeds on or device (i777). I have it a try anyways since I got free service from t mobile and I get 3g as well (I live in Silicon Valley). The only difference is that when using the t mobile sim I have not gotten disconnected data and didn't even have to look around for apn settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sk8ordie0:
Make sure you reboot after changing those APN and network settings. May also try a different kernel because of the modem that's packaged in........

Thunderbolt 3g

Thanks for the hard work you have done deathrow1993 ,I have been around in circles with this, It looks like you have come up with the answer. I have 2 questions for you.. 1: I have CDMAWS 3.9 a little different from the one you have..You mention go to the other tab and under R-UIM Config make sure you select NV only. In CDMAWS 3.9 the R-UIM config is on the main tap and there is also the button that gives the option of CDMA or CDMA2 or EDVO etc. and another button that gives the option of NAM1 and NAM2 .. Do I write to NAM1 and NAM2 under CDMA and CDMA2 and EDVO?? The last question 2: on the program page of DFS CDMA you have 765 2385692 in several fields is this the phone # thanks for all your work with this. I have had the 1X working for a bit now but getting tired of the slow speeds. Again thanks to you everybody else that has contributed to this... Merry XMAS
[Thunderbolt General] deathrow1993:
Thats my cell phone number. Forgot to edit the pictures i guess. If you have cdmaws 3.9 and its the paid version in order to get 3g go to the evdo tab and put yourphone#@vzw3g.com for all fields and vzw as the password. Then have pageplus do a esn reset and a data reset and 3g should work. If its not the paid version then the evdo tab wont write. It sounds like you already have talk and text working? also make sure if you write something (nv only, nam settings, m.ip, and ppp settings, anything) make sure you write to both nam1 and nam2.
[Thunderbolt General] ph19971207:
Thanks a bunch for your tutorial. I am going to try to flash my spare tbolt to PPC and have been reading everything that I could find.
[Thunderbolt General] deathrow1993:
no problem. just make sure youre on the stock rom so you can get diagnostic mode working. after everything is flashed i know its safe to flash a custom rom and even a new radio. i was on a bamf rom after 3g started working i then upgraded my radio from .9 to .19 and everything stuck. if you have any questions just keep me posted
[Thunderbolt General] gimmeitorilltell:
Deathrow you can still get into diag mode with ICS roms and probably other non sense ones as well. Google "GScript Lite" and you can put your phone in diag mode without the reboot. I am with PPC too and love sense roms for ease of programming your phone without ever hooking it up to a computer but have run into losing data when flashing roms.
[Thunderbolt General] deathrow1993:
thank you for this information. I've heard of this before but i've personally never used it or looked to far into it.

Thank you very much for your brief and simple tutorial...finally my Thunderbolt get 3G here in Jakarta.
[Thunderbolt General] ph19971207:
Thanks again for your tips. I currently have voice and SMS working...Still trying to get data tho...
[Thunderbolt General] Brandon314159:
deathrow1993 if you ever make it near PDX I'm buying you a beer!

Process worked (took me awhile to find all the tools).

I haven't got a non-vzw-LTE SIM card yet so I have the Verizon one in there (wife's phone...keeps the phone from complaining) and it at least functions with text/voice for her.

I suspect it will start snagging 3G once I get the random SIM card in there.

Best part was that this avoided having to use the paid version of CDMA Workshop (their DEMO version you can download lets you mod only the CDMA pages, not the EVDO). I really didn't want to part with $99 just to program a used phone that isn't even mine :)

Thanks again! Learned a lot!

HTC Thunderbolt on Page Plus/w Voice/Text/MMS/Web

..Finally, after a week of trying to get data to work, IT WORKS!! HTC Thunderbolt on Page Plus 55$plan, Voice/Text/MMS/Web at 1xCDMA. I started with the tips from this thread and others alike, used cdmaws2.7, DFS4103, QPST366, and WirelessWorkshop dotcom. To be honest, it was the WirelessWorkshop remote software and the Technical help from them(Dwane was his name) that got this working. I could never get the com ports/diag driver's installed correctly. I thought they were but they weren't and WirelessWorkshop(Dwane the tech dude) connected to my pc through teamviewer and fixed my problem with the ports and drivers! Way more than I expected him to do since I only paid to use the software remotely. Before he fixed my pc I could only write to the htc diagnostic modem, not the 9K..So CHeers to him and the rest of y'all that have helped out...

Now I need to get 3G working. I did run across this from another site's thread but I don't know if it works to fix 3G cause there are no other references to it:

QUOTE

I am not sure if changing the "vzw" pass to one of these would work or not.. Has anyone else seen this and does it work to connect 3G?
[Thunderbolt General] Brandon314159:
Hmm...

I popped in a non-4G-LTE SIM card yet still no 1x or 3G data (no MMS or anything).

Any words of insight here?
[Thunderbolt General] ph19971207:
After having everything working(voice,sms,mms,data1x) for almost a week, I tried to get 3G to work and now I have no data or mms at all...I have tried to re-flash and re-flash, gone over all the settings a thousand times, but nothing...

Brandon314159, wish I could offer some advice but I find myself also asking for help now... The last three times I called PPC and had them reset my data, I still haven't gotten it back yet..
[Thunderbolt General] Brandon314159:
I'm thinking the APN may be wrong on my Thunderbolt (still verizon?) because it wasn't a setting I had to change in this process?

I will have some more time here soon to look at it and see if I can figure it out..
[Thunderbolt General] gimmeitorilltell:
I don't think the sim card really matters much but I'm using the verizon sim because it holds the PRL. 3G data is working for me, you need to be able to write your specific keys to the phone using DFS. This took me a while to figure out but eventually I got my hands on a droid incredible and was able to use it for my source to setup the thunderbolt. I am not sure if there is any other way to work around this or not but it worked for me.

Edit: It may be that you need to do all the programming as stated by the OP before you do the activation or have an ESN reset thru PPC.

EDIT: I was wrong about the sim card but if you have a new one that was NEVER programmed before, then it will work with the 4G LTE sim card.

I had 2 used & 1 new sim card but I could only get the NEW one to work correctly with 3G. Sorry if I lead anyone in the wrong direction.

I am only finding one port (9k) since I upgraded to ICS. Does anyone have a similar issue or could this be another problem?
[Thunderbolt General] gimmeitorilltell:
I have found This rom here to be the most useful in setting things up to where you can reboot to diag mode and then set everything else up as stated in the OP. Once you are finished, flash the rom of your choice but don't go thru with the vzw activation process so all of your settings will stick. They may still stick, I don't know for certain as I have never allowed it to finish.
[Thunderbolt General] mad_fitter:
Able to get calls and MMS, SMS is sketchy at best, and still stuck on 1X data. Wondering if it's possibly the SIM that I'm using (tried two different ones from GSM straight talk), or maybe an APN setting? Not sure if VZW uses more than one or not. Recently did s-off and upgraded to ICS roms, but still the same set of circumstances.

Help!!!!!

I followed this method listed above about flashing the HTC Thunderbolt to PageplusCelluar using the same tools listed in the tutorial listed above. CDMA 2.7, QPST 2.7 366 and DFS 4.6.0 with 51720_EVDO.prl. The phone flashed with incoming and outgoing calls, incoming and outgoing text but no data at all. I now can't even get into DM mode (##3424#) to start over in case I missed something. The only code number I can access is *#*#4636#*#*. Other than that, the other code numbers just dial and ring. I have an non-activated T-Mobile sim card inside that enables me to make calls and text. Without the card inside the phone has no dial tone nor can I send text. If I make a call without the sim card inside the phone stays locked on the call and a green flashing shows on top of the screen. I have to pull the battery out to reset the phone.

Could someone assist me with this issue please. How can I get this phone right to start over or correct what I may have done wrong? Thank you.
[Thunderbolt General] deathrow1993:
I am sorry for the long delay in responding to everyones questions. i got rid of the phone a few months ago and i lost track of this thread. but to answer your question last i heard the ics rom was full of bugs. i used the latest stock (rooted but doesnt matter) gingerbread verizon rom.
