I don't think a modem has been ported yet. I don't think there is a compatible radio out there for this phone. AT&T MIGHT get a version of the Mega (the I-527). If so, someone might be able to port it's radio over to our device and we MIGHT get better signal. Until then, we will have spotty / inconsistent coverage. I get HSPA+, Edge, G, and complete loss of signal almost every day in New York (I drive around a quite a bit between Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan in New York). AT&T and T-Mobile (refarmed), for the most part, use the same bands now.

I came from the AT&T original Galaxy Note (LTE) which I used on T-Mobile's network. I knew I would be taking a step back in terms of data speed by getting the Mega but figured I would at least get HSPA+ which is sufficient for what I do (email, internat and streaming video). When I have HSPA+ signal, I have no data lag even when streaming live tv so it's definitely fast enough (for me at least).

The only issue is, as I already said, the inconsistency. I like the device though and am trying to stick with it until the AT&T Mega comes out (no telling when that will happen - it has been rumored for this month but I'm not holding my breath).

I see the Mega as a mini tablet with GSM phone connectivity, mobile internet connectivity, bluetooth, wifi, nfc, gps, and infra-red (for infrared tv remote control capability). Looking at it from that perspective, I stick with it (because not many tablets have this much connectivity).

Plus, it fits in my pocket (a lot more portable than normal sized tablets).
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] damastah:
Right, I hear you. What will be the difference with the AT&T one? I'm really looking for a radio port like they did for the AT&T Note with the Galaxy Blaze and S II modems
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] curgervending:
The AT&T Mega will have LTE so the data speeds will be faster. However, if AT&T gets the Mega, it will be locked to their network and it's currently illegal to unlock your phone yourself (you're supposed to ask the carrier to unlock it for you). I would imagine that AT&T won't be so quick to unlock the phone for you since they wouldn't want to make it convenient for anyone to take the phone to another GSM carrier. Oh well...welcome to America. In Europe (and probably the rest of the world), when you get a phone (even if its carrier-branded and purchase directly from the carrier), it's unlocked. I usually only buy unlocked phones.

I want to wait for a radio port. If I get consistent HSPA+ connectivity, I'm fine. I got about 15mbps download and about 2mbps upload on an HSPA+ connection in Manhattan this morning. That's fast enough for my data needs. I WAS using a Galaxy Note on T-Mobile's LTE network and got up to 22mbps down and 11mbps up. To be honest though, I could only tell the difference between HSPA+ and LTE when downloading huge files (500MB and up). For web surfing, email, streaming video, and live tv, I saw no noticeable difference between LTE and HSPA+.

IF, at the end of the day, you get the data performance you need with HSPA+, having LTE won't really matter that much.

It's kinda like upgrading your car from one that has 160mph on the dash (current Mega with HSPA+) to the exact same car with 320mph on the dash (AT&T Mega with LTE) when the legal speed limit is 70mph (the data speed you need). You may be able to brag about it being faster but do you actually need the extra speed? Bottom line, you have to determine your data speed needs and then make a choice..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] damastah:
I see. So the at&t one will have an extra T-Mobile compatible band in it? I thought the only one was the 1900 band getting converted into affect by T-Mobile
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] curgervending:
The AT&T Mega should have both the 1900 (the refarmed HSPA+ band on T-Mobile) and the LTE 1700/2100 band (which is the same frequency that both AT&T and T-Mobile use for LTE). The I-9200 version Mega only has the 1900 band and no LTE at all. The I-9205 version Mega has the 1900 band and LTE but not the 1700/2100 LTE band that works on T-Mobile and AT&T .
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jminatl:
Radio Question

Sorry, bit of radio ignorance here. So is this a physical hardware difference or could it be adjusted on an existing I-9205 to use the 1700/2100 LTE band by flashing a new radio/rom once TMo/AT&T have a specific version out?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Techngro:
I must admit, this is the only thing that is keeping me from getting the Mega. IF I knew with certainty that a version of this phone would work 100% with T-Mobile, I would jump on it. Unfortunately, i'll probably just have to wait for the Note III. I know there will be a version of that for T-mo.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MR.MEMORYLANE:
I know I want the Mega so bad & I see them unlocked on Ebay. I've asked a couple of sellers if it will work for TMobile but they say either edge or 3g. I have the Note 2 now and I'm more into size wise so not really looking forward to the Note 3. I was wondering if the AT&T one would work unlocked but they don't want you to leave the store without activating it. So I just have to wait patiently like you friend.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] curgervending:
Physical hardware difference. The I-9205's LTE physical hardware is "tuned" (for lack of a better word) to bands LTE2100, LTE850, LTE1800, LTE2600, LTE800. AT&T / T-Mobile uses band LTE 1700/2100 frequency. Using a different radio in the I-9205 won't change the bands that the phone is tuned to. If anyone out there knows better please chime in. I certainly don't claim to know much. One thing I'm not clear on is whether LTE2100 band in the I-9205 will partially work on T-Mobile / AT&T. I think the phone specifically has to have LTE1700/2100 which is different from LTE2100. Again, someone with more knowledge, please chime in.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kwed73:
would the att version work on T-Mobile? Here are the specs on it;

GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900,

UMTS850 (B5), UMTS900 (B8), UMTS1900 (B2), UMTS2100 (B1)

LTE700 (B17), LTE850 (B5), LTE1700/2100 (B4), LTE1900 (B2)

I live in a refarmed area with LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Techngro:
By the way, what version of the Mega do you have (i9200 or i9205)? I have T-Mobile and live in a refarmed area (NYC). I've heard people say that the i9205 gives them H+ speeds here.

T-mob 4G with AT&T mega?

I have just bought an AT&T mega (SGH-I527) from a guy. It's 8 days old, unlocked and running T-mob 4GLTE no problem.

21940kbps dl with the 4GLTE icon.

Sweet!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MR.MEMORYLANE:
Does it give you spurts of edge 3g and lte or is it steady lte. In other words does it work pretty good to get online or does it lag sometimes?

Sent from my SGH-T889
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pa49:
I've had it for only a few hours but when 4GLTE lights up and I stay in the same position then it holds the icon no problem. The area is patchy and not far away I loose 4G and it drops to 3G but it gets back the 4G where it can. In that regard it works like my previous phone but it didn't have the benefit of of LTE!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MR.MEMORYLANE:
I went to the AT&T store today and I can buy it cash without contract but I just don't want it to be just edge service if you know what I mean.

Sent from my SGH-T889
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pa49:
Take a look
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] marcdunn82:
Okay guys I have T-Mobile here in Atlanta, I am not sure if it has refarmed hspa+ but there is supposed to be a bunch of LTE. So I am going to go buy the AT&T Mega Unlocked right now and let you know tomorrow... I been saving up for weeks and I am so glad I read this before I ordered the I9200 or 9205. Heck now I dont have to wait for shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pa49:
Well, yes we know it works on t-mobile and gives 4GLTE. So you should find the same if you're in an LTE area.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] marcdunn82:
Well I love the phone. AT&T wouldn't let me buy iti had to geta friend with an account to buy it for me. Only had it goinga couple hours and so far only edge here at the house. Is there anything special I need to do to get lte?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shynn27:
Mega 6.3 sgh-i527

I have the at&t mega 6.3 sgh-i527 model unlocked all works EXCEPT no consistent 4g/Lte. I don't live in a LTE area however I attend church in a LTE area. Other times I can only get E. It is an amazing phone, large screen great for videos and the camera is great as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pa49:
Check you're using the "fast" APN!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shynn27:
Mega 6.3 sgh-i527

Yes entered it like this: fast.t-mobile.com & also tried fast.tmobile.com neither work any other suggestions please I really really don't want to return the mega due to this one issue.:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Christogq:
Screen Shot your APN settings. That's weird. I got LTE instantly here in Houston.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shynn27:
APN settings

Thx Chris for responding however I spoke with T Mobile and they said the AT&T mega will not work for T Mobile. I only get E live in SC and its slow. How do I add screenshots?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pa49:
The AT&T Mega (ie I527) will and does work on t-mobile without any problem. All the 4GLTE band is quite happily shown by the 4GLTE icon and I can show the SPEEDTEST.NET screenshot if required. My fastest d/l has been 24mbps.

See my screen shot of 9 posts above. It does work.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shynn27:
APN settings

Ok well I have the same model and still unable to get anything other than E. Did you see my settings do I have everything correct. I have tried everything possible I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pa49:
I'm sending this post from my I527 with the 4GLTE icon showing in the top bar. Screen shot attached.

remove all APNs and start afresh inputting only the top two settings and make sure the second one is

"Fast.T-Mobile.com".

I'm in Columbia county GA and get over to SC so I could possibly try your area. It could be just that your local cell is not yet 4G enable.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shynn27:
APN settings

I did delete and created my own APN settings to mirror another T Mobile phone. I'm sorry what do you mean my local cell not yet 4G enable? Would you be so kind & screenshot your APN settings please thanks again.

I'm not sure if its the settings that's wrong because I can leave home and drive 3 to 5 minutes and have 4G and further out I can get 4G LTE. I did a map search of my address and I'm borderline for the light green on the T Mobile coverage so I'm thinking Edge is the only thing I can get here on this at&t mega. I can get 4G on my t-mobile note 2 & s blaze without any problem. Smh think I'll be moving on to the note 3 even though the mega screen is soooo nice & big :-/
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pa49:
Here's the screenshot
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shynn27:
APN settings

Great thanks only difference between yours & mine is I have ** http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc ** under the MMSC yours doesn't. I'll see if I can remove it and let you know something later. You may also live in a song 4G LTE area where I'm still in the a 4g only area. I don't know just guessing here.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Christogq:
That's gotta be it. Your APN settings were exactly the same as mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shynn27:
APN settings

Well the note 3 is available for pre order so bye bye mega ***crying cuz mega screen is larger than note 3*** but over all note 3 is the better phone out even out shines the s4. Thanks again for all the help ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] rg1973:
Is there away to get into the bands to turn on and off yet

Or does that phone need root first tmobile only gwts lte 4g or edge nothing in between im seeing using it on tmobile
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] raven69david:
If I purchase the i9205 version of the Mega 6.3, will this phone catch the TMobile LTE? I have a Galaxy Note 2 on TMobile and I have strong LTE coverage in my city. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] rg1973:
The lte is for international im pretty sure and not for us lte

the att does get lte but its lte 4g or edge no in between im seeing so mostly u will see edge lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Have you tried inputting different apns to see if you can manually ping the correct channel for hspa+? I had to do this exact thing for my buddy when he got the mega for tmo last week.... there is a list here on xda if you search for it, that has nearly every apn for tmo.... that's where I would start as even with my att service that gets fast hspa+ I occasionally switch apns if my speed eveythings drops due to overloading on a certain channel. Good luck man with tmo hspa+ you should get at least 15 mbs on hspa 21 and onward to the high 20s if your lucky enough to pull hspa42
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] rg1973:
All I tried was the fast epn and the normal one didn't know there were others
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
Typically a carrier will have between 3 and 5 standard apns with more than that as the lte channels expand.... I'm aware of at least 4 tmo apns. Like I said I took my best friends mega on tmo from 2 mbs to 11 by simply inputting another apn.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pa49:
Hmmmm!

I think I must be the only person in the whole of the USA who it's totally blown away by the t-mobile service in my area which I have been told is low grade!

Check this out
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
No way dude... for TMO that really good... my buddy gets 11 to 13 max. You should be more than happy with 20's download speeds. I mean my LTE on Att gets 50's to 60 but to be honest once yon hit around 20-25 mbs beyond that is negligible. I mean as long as video stream Smooth and browsing pagees is fast then it doesnt really matter. The only time my 50 nibs has come in useful was downloading massive games to my Note 2. other than that its like benchmarks. Cool to look at and compare but pointless day to day. I mean I dont even use my Note 2 now since I got the Mega and am totally cool with 11-15 download Speeds... honestly other than speed tests I cant tell the difference since WebPages load Super fast @ 15 So 50 Makes no difference... to the extent that I bought another Att mega with LTE and returned it since the speed was all I wanted but found I gained nothing beyond my HSPA+ speeds. My 2 cents.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] rg1973:
Can u see if u can find that link with the apn's I searched by nothing coming up thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mingkee:
How about this method?

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] cakegetter:
Has anybody tried this method, and did it work?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mingkee:
I think it's no longer necessary because it's going to MetroPCS and hopefully it will go to T-Mobile.

AT&T version is way too locked down and it makes no sense to get it.

tmobile radios

Check out the tmobile radios for the att i717. They may get you better speeds with the Mega. You can find them here on xda under the i717 forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shayneflashindaily:
Im not sure if flashing thembwiuld be such a good idea bud ..... they were pulled from the skyrocket cause of same specs as i717 ...........our mega is totally diff

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jimmbomb:
Care to share those APNs?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] sszewczuk:
The problem is not with your APN settings but with your SIM card. Make sure your sim card is the new 4G rated one. The 4G sims do work with 3G as well, but the 3G will not work with 4G. So order another 4G card from ebay. They are like 5 bucks.

ENJOY
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] galaxys3some:
Thank god I get super fast LTE
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Christogq:
I had the AT&T Mega and it worked flawlessly on T-Mobile. Got LTE speeds here in Houston everywhere for the most part. Check your APN settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Rommul:
Hi guys.

I am planning to get an unlocked sgh-i527 from ebay will I have any problems?

Do I have to do anything special besides assign the correct APN's?

I am in NYC.

I currently use an Xperia Z Ultra 6806 and I get great LTE everywhere.

Am I good to go?

If you get your Mega unlocked....

If you unlock your Mega will custom roms interfere or make you have to reunlock?

When you talk about the network auto feature are you talking about data not showing H/G....
[Desire HD Android Development] WordsworthESP:
Doubtful. Most likely it's about not having service until you manually select your network.

Sent from my Inspire 4G w/CM10.1
[Desire HD Android Development] gogsy1975:
that's it... when you restarting, u have no network until u choose it manually...
[Desire HD Android Development] xZeroMancerx:
Does that happen all the time or only once ? It would seem to be quite annoying having to select your carrier after each reboot ? Finally though, its nice to have a slimbean jb rom
[Desire HD Android Development] Atrax_:
Everytime, but it gets fixed in the next update. I'm pretty sure about that. :D
[Desire HD Android Development] CedArctic:
Thank you all for believeing in this ROM, yes you have no service until you select your carrier but you do that once a day... I will try to fix it in the next update. Thank you all for testing.
[Desire HD Android Development] yutouyes:
Seems quite good....Thanks for your work!
[Desire HD Android Development] CedArctic:
I hope you enjoy it. Just remember to manually select your carrier upon reboots or startups (see bug section).
[Desire HD Android Development] yutouyes:
Yes,I've noticed it.

Can it be fixed?
[Desire HD Android Development] CedArctic:
We are currently working on it. We hope to make a major release 4 (MR4) with the issue fixed and then the ROM going into stable state and no more updates to be needed.
[Desire HD Android Development] -SmOgER:
Just curious...

if

BR = Beta Release

SR = Stable Release,

then

What MR stands for?

or is it just a name?
[Desire HD Android Development] CedArctic:
Major Release, a system I use to determine if an update is a major then it will go from MR3 -> MR4, if not then MR3 -> MR3.1
[Desire HD Android Development] Steam.:
could you reconsider using CM SR1 as a base from now on?It's marked stable, so why the hell not.
[Desire HD Android Development] la3bna:
What do i nede om sdcard? Ny nexus4 screen is busted and I have dhd I can use until I get a screen. My sdcard got formatted some time ago and I don't know what I need on it
[Desire HD Android Development] CedArctic:
No! You didn't get the idea, the ROM is based on SR CM. But I just use the letter system for my ROMs.
[Desire HD Android Development] CedArctic:
Well nothing in particular, just load the ROM inside and the Google Apps and then follow the instructions in the main post.
[Desire HD Android Development] la3bna:
OK. Will do ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] CedArctic:
Just remember to manually set your carrier upon each reboot/start. Enjoy! :)

There is a mega downloader app from play store, use that.You can't download it via phone browser.Chrome only on PC.

Also, everything that tries to open an overlay on an existing app, e.g Greenify or lucky patcher, it just stays there.Greenify says hibernating infinitely, and I can't open the lucky patcher's menu of patches, it just freezes.

Ok thanks is that different than the mega app where u sign up for storage??
[Desire HD Android Development] blindndumb:
Decompile framework-res.apk

Go to res/values/bools.xml

Open it and change this line

<bool name="skip_restoring_network_selection">false</bool>

It must be true, As I guess you have ported it from a samsung device. Change it to false and the issue will be fixed. If you need any help feel free to ask me

Cheers :)
[Desire HD Android Development] la3bna:
It hangs on setup wisard for me. And gapps FC on boot...
[Desire HD Android Development] Steam.:
EDIT: It's superuser, it does not work properly.I can't even get a prompt to show now, root explorer can't get superuser.

Also on every boot I get an error:

Invalid int : Cedarctic and besttt's slimbean rom

I've noticed that Cedarctic and besttt's slimbean rom is also set as the build number, so that could be the culprit.
[Desire HD Android Development] CedArctic:
I am sorry but I the framework does not have such a folder when decompiled (I came across this when I was still testing) and I haven't ported from a Samsung. Anyways, I think I have found how to fix it and will come back with a MR4. Thank you for the help :)
