T-Mobile ONLY

Thread for all T-Mobile only related posts.

Since there is not a thread specifically for individual carriers I figured it would be a good idea to start one for each. Feel free to post anything T-Mobile related.

Has the T-Mobile merger become official yet dry if I'm asking a noob question. Just wanted to know because I heard the FCC was taking opinions from the actual clients that would be affected by the merger.

Nope. Not even close. They won't have a yes or no until at least next April, and even then I'm not sure they will know exactly what they will do, but I'm sure by this years end we should have a good feel for how the answer is going to fall. I personally hope it falls through.

Which T-Mobile? T-Mobile USA? UK? Germany? They're all different companies! The UK one is now owned by Orange, for example!
The world, and the cellphone carriers, are a lot bigger than the USA, y'know.

I know. It's just a start. I only picked the big ones I know off the top of my head. Feel free to add new ones that you know of. I'm waiting to see how many people say what you did. I'm keeping a list. I have Vodafone, Virgin Mobile, Boost, 3, Simple Mobile, Rogers, Bell, and a couple more. I'll be adding soon.

agree, ATT is much more expensive Plans. Tmo since i got is more economically in my case..

I got new contract on Tmo, and got mytouch 4G. This little phone is a beast. Battery life seems to be awesome too.

Retail at Best Buy is $100 no contract. International/Unlocked phones aren't sold on contract with any carrier that i've seen or else everyone would be selling the international version of Note.

3.5" HVGA, 800mhz, 278mb ram
why you wouldn't rather spend $180 on a good condition used HD2, MyTouch4G, or some HTC ATT phone or any other wayyy better device is beyond me. These specs are barely better than the Hero.

Just unboxed my Note 2 :)

So far I am loving this phone. Every aspect of the device is an upgrade. I purchased it through MobiCity on Amazon. I live in the US and have ATT service. I understand that this version will not do LTE, and having LTE in the past i wasn't that impressed with it, due to the fact it hogs the battery and with data plans like they are hspa+ does great.
I havent gotten my new sim card yet but i was curious to know what the reception and data speeds would be like If anyone else has ATT with this model. The firmware version is XXALIE.

Enjoy!
I'm right here on the fence whether to buy or not from the sellers at Amazon or not. I always prefer to buy directly from Amazon or the OEM (Samsung). But the launch date is so freaking away from now, I can't wait...
You have guts tho son, you bought from the seller that just launched:
click me for list of Amazon Sellers selling the Grey version
I want the white one, it's on amazon as well for 20 bucks more - I hear finger prints and smudges are less noticeable on the white one. I have an iphone as well so I already have the micro sim. You don't need a new SIM, you can cut yours out if you want. Them regular cell stores should have the SIM cutters that can cut out yours to the propper measurements; that's what I did, never did contacted my carrier for a new SIM.

Grats and enjoy it! I thought about jumping on the UK version, but I myself have a hard time justifying such a large purchase without LTE. I am on Sprint but will be making the switch to ATT once the phone releases to get on thier HSPA+/LTE since I am in St. Louis and that's one of their most supplied networks.

I too live in the St.Louis area. The LTE is smokin fast..but so is the 4g and not having any Carrier branding was a deciding factor. Im enjoying it thats for sure. Like a kid with his favorite new toy. Lol! I also got 50gb for 2 years from dropbox 8)

So did AT&T's Hspa+ speeds kick in right away....or did you have to fanagle with the carrier /apns to get it. The carrier system didnt recognize my Note1 as a Hspa+ smartphone and I had crap speeds initially, I had to adopt the imei of one of their devices to access those speeds.

Very nice. I am waiting to get it with LTE. Being able to have a device that is able to get the latest and greatest data speeds is nice. Especially because cities are getting it all the time. Plus, I would rather have it and not need it than not be able to ever get it.

(Q)What radio is the S4??

Last night i was at the movies with my girl that has a tmobile S4
And i always dont get signal with my nexus 4 at this theater but she had great signal and internet average was 5mbs
Is ther a way to flash that radio?

Are you on T-Mobile also? My wife's HTC One X also does better signal wise than my N4 in certain areas. I assume it is because her phone is a LTE phone and mine is not. We are with AT&T, and being on the LTE network vs HSPA is like night and day.

Theoretically speaking, the nexus 4 is a unofficial lte device and it does work on t mobile assuming that it's in the users area. He needs to check the lte thread for more information on how to use it on 4.2.2

No, you are wrong about official, which is why it is disabled by default. I know it will work in limited areas, but it doesn't have the FCC approval to be sold as an LTE phone. Officially it is not a LTE phone, even though it has some hidden limited capability.

No, you`re wrong! N4 fully supports LTE on band 4- T-mobile USA, Canadian carriers! There are people that have been using it for a while! It`s not FCC approved -YES, but it works as any other LTE phone!

"Can be made to work with LTE" is a very very different thing from "fully supports LTE".
Sent from my Nexus 4

ahandlen003 said:
Not to be redundant to other posts but in reality its not different. "fully supports" can be classified as working on networks that have lte which the nexus 4 does. Just because we have to change a few settings doesnt mean it doesnt fully support lte. I get full 4g everywhere i live. I consider that to be fully supportive.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I guess that your definition of "fully supported" is very different to mine.
My definition wouldn't include the possibility of having to stick to old radios/ROMs to make a feature work, and it would include the possibility of ensuring Google help if there was a problem with that feature.

Lol. The AT&T one was unlock-able with HTC Dev...So it wasnt "locked" by AT&T. But this will surely be encrypted and no HTC Dev support.

It would be tragic if this phone was locked down so tight that we couldn't flash anything.
