SO we are hours away from the Galaxy S4 T-Mobile launch and No section yet? What gives? Is it the same device as the ATT version or not?

Hey all
Someone gave me a Verizon Galaxy S. Is this a fascinate??
Anyway, I'm in the UK and this thing is CDMA :-( Any suggestions of what to do with it?
Yes it is. I would root it and unlock it if possible. The i would install a custom kernel and rom.
Btw i have a tmobile galaxy s, but the things you can do should be the same.

How do you guys know it's a fascinate from that small amount of info? There are a lot of Galaxy S variants.

Because he said "Verizon Galaxy S" , so it must Fascinate
For OP : I live in Southeast Asia and im using Fascinate, just unlock the device and then inject with my local carrier (CDMA for sure), voice, sms, and data work perfectly.
Woah, Wait up guys, you seem to have forgotten something!
The Fascinate is not the only Galaxy S phone on Verizon! The Samsung Continuum (Crappy in comparison, no AMOLED) is also labeled as a Galaxy S!
OP, take off the back cover and take out the battery and tell us what is says for model, if it says SGH-i500 it's a Fascinate.

Last I checked the guy wanted to know what is was, we already told him no mater what it will not do GSM.
I did a search and found nothing on the GT Note using simple Mobile.
Has anyone tried this as yet, and can you tell us what the speeds are like so far.
And what package did you go with.
Looks like they use T-Mobile's network, which means nothing over EDGE speeds.
I'm running one of the AT&T MVNOs on a trial basis and so far I have not been disappointed. I am loathe to give up my T-Mobile plan but unless there's a breakthrough in getting 1700/2100 AWS working on this thing I might have to make the move permanently.
AT&T GoPhone offers unlimited everything for $50 a month pay-as-you-go fyi.

Go phone sim cards are locked to the phone now. Unless you can convince AT&T to give you a new unlocked one it doesn't work.

I know this is old.....but just wanted to update it. I am using AT&T version with Simple Mobile now. The internet speed sucks big time. On speed test, i am consistently getting 25kb/s. With that speed, I am changing to the International Note next week....

You can flash a T-Mobile compatible modem on the AT&T version, if you're not aware.

Is there a solution to STILL using ATT GO Phone plans with our GN7000's?

You need Straight Talk with the AT&T sim.

What about this? As long as you aren't using any device which has ever been AT&T branded in any way shape or form (like an unlocked Note), this should work just fine!

This question has already been asked more than once. Why not use the "search" function and follow the posting rules instead of complaining about no one rushing to this thread?
The phone hasn't even been released yet. My advice is to give it a couple of weeks (at least) and let people have a look at it to see if it can be easily unlocked or not. Otherwise, you can try to deal with the carrier (or who ever you purchase your phone from) to try and get an unlock code. You usually need to be persistent and keep trying if getting the code doesn't work at first.

Free unlock codes are not safe.So better you can use any paid unlock codes to unlock your Samsung Galaxy S4 from AT&T network lock.To get unlock code visit Unlock-zone.com .Here they provide unlock code with free step by step instructions at low cost.This is safe and secure.
the forum doesn't show any support for this type of galaxy s4, i bought it brand new un activated un touched for 500$ i need help unlocking it for international use, I am overseas fighting for our country and I need to unlock this phone to use to call my wife and kids anyone with a kind heart help a 10 year vet?
help unlocking
send me an email and i can help you. [email protected]
and what carrier is your galaxy locked to? (AT&T. Verizon or Sprint)

Based on Model will either be US Cellular, C-Spire or Cricket.
Looking at build.prop will confirm.

You need to be sure to look at the phone and confirm its SPH-L720 which is the sprint version.

I asked the same Q in the forums "Android" and people heavily prefer the Nexus 5. I may sell my new S4. Get a Moto G then get the S5 but unlocking the S5 bootloader won't be any easier for awhile so I'm likely getting a Nexus 5 soon. My 2 cents.

You could always order an unlocked i337M (Canadian) online or something. Our S4s don't have locked bootloaders. (at least not yet..)
Kitkat on S4 SGH-i337
You can get the 4.4 kitkat on your phone by flashing the leaked version for the at&t S4. I have the same model phone and have flashed the leaked update so far no real big issues. I think if you were to wait another 3 weeks or so the official update will probably hit our phones in that time frame.:good:
Buy a kitkat bar, make sure its nice n warm.
Rub gently all over the device.
Now its a kitkat device
Or you can flash it and end up with a device on kitkat with a locked bootloader or bricked if you're on safestrap
