but korea does not yet 4g Service and Even VERY VERY BAD for 3g Service...
3g download average speed is.... 1.5 to 2Mbps.... and It is very unstable. I think korea 3g Quality is lowest in World...
by the way, in Profile modify page, why NOT exist Service provider of KOREA? (SKT, Olleh) Only korea provider does not exist.

Anyone here have the galaxy s 9000 euro version working with tmobile 3 g in usa?
I'm also interested in that. I'm about to buy a galaxy here in EU but I'm moving to california soon. There should be no issues however since the galaxy is a quad band phone
I looked into importing a HTC Desire from Tmo UK for use here on Tmo's US network -
Tmo europe uses 2100 band for 3g, Tmo US uses the AWS IV band (1700/2100) for 3G - i did a little more research and found that 2100 was the download side and 1700 for upload - and as Tmo here in the US told me my Tmo MyTouch 3G would work fine in europe, i figured i'd be good to go - maybe only have 3G speeds on the download side
got hold of a 2nd level tech at Tmo and he 'xplained it down't work that way - if the Tmo US network doesn't see both freqs (1700 & 2100) it will switch me to 2G data speeds
so answer is, it'll work for phone calls, but data speeds will be limited to 2G

I can confirm, I did a lot of digging myself and found the same thing. I'm from the UK but living in the US for a year or so. I was going to get a Galaxy S from ebay but realised they didn't have the 1700 freq so wouldn't get 3g with T-mobile over here ion the US.
My Iphone 3g from the UK only gets edge data transfer speeds here in the US as it too is missing the important 1700 freq...

Finally figured this out too after posting questions in different places. Found this article which had a very detail explaination.

One thing I'm wondering is if it is possible to flash the android radio version from a Vibrant on to an international Galaxy S to enable Tmobile AWS?
that question is best answered by someone far more knowledgeable than i am in software and android OS
i want 3g
I just recently bought the unlocked galaxy s to use for when I study abroad in Germany in the coming months. However, I am experiencing the very issue raised in this thread and have been searching high and low to find a solution to change the radio frequency to include both 1700 and 2100. Hopefully, flashing the firmware from the vibrant to the unlocked galaxy s will work, but I'm not experienced enough to even know where to start.
I've done some searching and some threads say that the G2 can use European 3g and others say it does not. I'm going to France and Italy in the summer and want to know if my G2's 3g will work there.
My plan is to use SIP droid with GV for calls back to the US when I can't find wifi and then use wifi calling when I do.
If you are going to a 2100 country you might have 3g. Otherwise - edge only.
Wonder if anyone has tried to use Vibrant in Europe with local SIMs?!
Have unlocked Vibrant and would like to know if 3G data would work...
Just couldn't find any information about it...thnx
yes you can do it but you have to do the settings on your vibrant...i mean you have to adapt your vibrant to the new provider...usually you can go to the new provider web page and do it...i'm using the vibrant in france and everything works good
Yes, just go to the new gsm provider and since your phone is unlocked they would configure it to work on the new 3G network. I used my phone in Ghana last year.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
The only thing I'm worried about is 3G frequency, does Vibrant has all frequencies needed to operate and get the data without need to use EDGE?!

Europe is like here............you get 3g when in places that are populated and out in the sparsely populated countryside you only get edge...........
Most providers around the world use 2100 MHz for 3G which is supported by most 3G phones.
so you wouldn't have any problem connecting @ 3G.
The problem usually happens when you buy a phones from overseas and want to use it in the Americas (especially T-Mobile-USA).
check the table on this page to see which frequencies are used in each country (the information is not really accurate but it gives you a general idea)
The simple answer is yes, you can get 3G in Europe on your Vibrant using a SIM local to each country. I did this very successfully in Paris last Sept.
Here's a chart showing the frequencies used in every country:
http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html
Vibrant specs show HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100 Mhz (note 850 not listed). Austria apparently uses 850/2100. You would need to check on specific carrier compatibility there, but that's an exception in Europe.
I need to knew wat means this Sentence
T-Mobile, America's First Nationwide 4G Network Sent by Samsung Mobile
It about HTC HD2 iam in Egypt it means i cant use this device ???
My Best site www.IslamHouse.com
what it means is that tmobile have a nationwide "4G" network setup in the USA, which is bollocks, its not 4G, or at least by the criteria of it. its more like a 3.5G or a Pre-4G it uses HSPA+ which is based on the 3G network but is quite a bit faster
LTE advance and WiMax2 are the only two ideas defined as true 4G, and neither of those is on the market yet.
anyhow, it means bugger all for your HD2 as that only supports HSPA, depending which version of the HD2 you have (which network its setup for) assuming you have had your HD2 working there it will still work there with the "4G" but you wont be able to get the HSPA+ speeds.
Hi so I have the i9505 with me with omega rom v10 installed. I know that a lot of Canadian telecommunications companies use HSPA but as far as I know, Korean telecommunications companies use 4g/LTE and no HSPA. When I was in South Korea just a couple days ago, my phone would never switch to 4g/LTE and would only stay on HSPA. Is there a particular way to switch off HSPA manually and rather use 4g/LTE?

the problem with that is if you got no 4g you wont be able to get data
yea I know that but what I'm asking is if there is a way to make 4g/LTE a priority rather than the phone using HSPA. 4g/LTE is a lot faster in South Korea compared to the HSPA so I wanted the phone to stay on 4g/LTE rather than using HSPA since HSPA doesn't really exist in South Korea
