Any one got any insight about when 4G will be here in the UK on Networks other than EE (who are a rip off)? I notice that Vodafone are now advertsing 4G on their site and selling 4G phones even though they provide no service yet. So I was wondering whether a date has been talked about yet for their 4G roll out?
I guess O2 will launch there's around the same time but what about Three? I cant seem to find info on this anywhere. Thanks :silly:
Re: [Q] 4G UK - when will it be here?
First questions go in Q&A
2nd this phone has wimax 4G and is no longer being expanded. I am guessing you are in the wrong forum.

Hey, guys
I'm switching to either Evo or Epic in October, and I'd like to know beforehand how 4G reception is working for you in any Orlando area (I do know for a fact there's already 4G in Orlando, if you aren't informed). I'm also writing a review for a website and need some feedback on said topic. Thanks!
(same topic as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7999607, getting more feedback in different forum)
Hey xda
I just won the motorola atrix (being sent to me soon) from CrunchGear's weekend give away
http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2011/02/25/weekend-giveaway-rebtel-wants-you-to-have-a-motorola-atrix/
and as I will be using it in Australia on Vodafone, is there any chance that I will run into problems with signing up for motoblur without an AT&T sim? The person from Rebtel is happy to post it to me and said that it will be sent within the next few days, he also specifically asked in a separate email for the name of the carrier that I will be using with it (hopefully that means the phone will arrive unlocked when I said that I will be using it with vodafone AUS)
any tips or problems that you think I should be aware about/concerned about (specifically motoblur)?
Thanks in advance

I am in sydney myself and the Atrix is compatible with most networks, including nextG
you will have to get an unlock code for it tough.
the most reliable one so far it seems is cellunlock.net I have ordered two codes from there myself. I have not got them yet, but other users on XDA have and posted screenshots of successfull unlock. Check the Q&A section of the forum.

voda use the 900 mhz for their rural network and since the atrix 4g has the 850 band be careful. though you should have no problem in the metropolitan areas.

thanks for this. Very helpful I live in Melbourne, to be vague, in this area: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sou...7.86076,145.238743&spn=0.071423,0.110378&z=13
so I was wondering if you knew any further details about the coverage? 99% of the time I'm on 3G on my HTC Trophy and it automatically switches to H when using data on the internet.
EDIT: Just found out that voda is creating an 850MHz network in my area that's due to be completed by June/July.. thats helpful
Hi,
I noticed today that my unlocked rogers Lumia 920 was roaming on AT&T 4G consistently. Has anyone else noticed that their T-Mobile phone has been jumping to AT&T a lot? I don't know when the new roaming agreement is supposed to go into place. (BTW can we get carrier forums on XDA? i feel like im way of topic here,)
Thanks!
Just want to share something with you guys. I never understood why a phone a device branded to let's say for ATT having quad band that include bands for T-Mobile will only work on EDGE on T-Mobile and wise verse why T-Mobile phones that also have all bands needed for ATT will only work on EDGE on it. That's why for past several years Galaxy S 2 from T-Mobile (T989) was THE BEST phone because no matter what I put in it ATT or T-mobile or anything else it always gave me 3G service and never EDGE. Now to the point. Today I unlocked my i337 SGS4 branded to ATT and decided to check my other Simple Mobile sim with it. I was happily surprised when my 40$ Simple Mobile account gave me H+ ( HSPA: +15 in about menu) and on speed test I am getting steady 6 Mbit down and about 1.5Mbit up. I mean Skype, Youtube videos, and all other things are good to go now on budget carrier with nice unit. Amazing ! Now I heard people went to service menu and change things ,,,,, DON'T. Just get unlock code for like 3$ on eBay (I just did it) and that's it, works out of the box. So //that's all I really wanna say. I am happy to have T-Mobile / Simple Mobile capable unit cause I think I'll be going there soon. my 150$ monthly bills are killing me. I wonder overseas places will this unit pick up fast internet too or only EDGE....I really love my phone now.
P.S.
I was thinking about this for a second here. I have 40$ plan with simple mobile and for 40 they give out Unlimited Internet with first 250 MB of data on 4G speeds, then 3G. So I am thinking "H+" for them is 4G and once 250MB are gone I'll have 3G service "H" (HSPA: 10) but it apsolutely beats "E" (EDGE) anytime.
P.P.S.
Like totally out of the blue question. I have Sony SP15i unit and I tried ATT and I tried T-Mobile and Simple Mobile in it and I only get "E" in it yet phone can accept high speed network, anyone know wtf is going on when both major carriers in US are no good for this phone ? Cause I got it hooked up real nice I put CM10 in it works very nice and I am having like 3 days worth of battery in that little guy. ...sorry for totally off topic shiit.
Thanks guys !

I have read a lot already on this site about my issue just wanted to clear up a few unanswered questions.
I am looking to switch from Verizon to t-mobile because of prices and terrible reception where I'm living in Riverside Ca. So I know that I can simply put in a t-mobile sim and change to the correct gsm settings and get cell reception (correct me if I'm wrong) but what about getting LTE from t-mobile? I have looked to see if the new 700 mhz band covers here and Ventura County Ca. (where I am when I'm not in Riverside) and it does so I should get LTE without having to put in a custom Rom, correct?
I'm a novice when coming to roms (plus a failed attempt) so i would like to avoid them as much as I can. Will do it if I have to though... All about saving $$$$
Thanks for the replies.
@mjmjpfaff
I know what your saying about saving $$$ phones these days are almost the half of a old car/price of a motorcycle.
If your Verizon phone is not simlocked and also has support for the LTE bands which T-Mobile is using then it's possible to get LTE working without the need to buy another phone. If it's mentioned on internet on multiple sites that the G2 supports that LTE band then you can get it without a custom rom.
In my eyes it's possible to have working LTE from T-Mobile on your verizon phone, but to be 100% sure I would contact Verizon support about your question.
I also had many fail attempts with custom roms first but after you get how it works, you can flash anything as smooth as butter:good:
you could also wait for a VS980 G2 user who had the same issue as you but I think that it would take you more time awaiting for a reaction from somebody since not many people are browsing the Q&A section.

I found this on another thread:
"I just switched from a Verizon Galaxy Note 2 to the G2 since all I can get from it with t-mobile is H+ speeds (about 4mbs-6mbs). I inserted the t-mobile sim into the verizon g2 and it automatically switched to global mode and I then went in to edit the apn settings to fast.t-mobile.com. 4G LTE is working just fine on stock rom kitkat update (I'm in L.A. suburb). Speeds range from 15mbs to 30mbs+ depending on where I am in the city. Here are some screenshots"
This guy is pretty much in my area and sounds like he did not do anything other switch in a t-mobile sim...
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2609607&page=4 --> first post on that page)
I will DM him to get some more insight.
Thanks for your reply.
I'm using my droid mini on tmobile and am getting LTE speeds. You should see them if you're in an area where the network was refarmed to 1900mhz
Keep in mind the fastest speeds you will see is 21Mbps unless you swap for the Tmobile Verizon which goes up to 42Mbps and higher.
