Hey everyone. I'm getting an S4 thru Sprint soon and I had some questions. First off, how's everyone liking their S4 stock or rooted? I'm coming from AT&T and I can't stand their tiered data, it's getting expensive. I travel quite a bit and was wondering if anyone else did and how their service is. Whether it's data or voice coverage throughout the states. I think that's about it for now. T.I.A

If your happy with AT&T service I recommend T-Mobile because most cities have some kind of 4G with T-Mobile and with Sprint hardly any cities have 4G and without 4G you could get these Sprint 3G speeds LTE is great if you have it voice is great and my S4 is rooted.

AT&T's service is ok. It's just I'm a heavy data user and I'm already up to a 10GB plan.

Then I recommend comparing both carriers plans and then ask people you know in your area about the service they get with both of the carriers and then make a decision. Enjoy your new carrier.

Already done and Sprint is cheaper and they both have lte in my area. Not sure of data speeds though. I'm only in my town on weekends and will have to see how Sprint handles out on the road.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I577 using Tapatalk 4
If you have a little extra cash on your hands, you can go with Verizon. They truly deliver the fastest LTE speeds I've seen so far. But if you use a lot of data or just want a good network, Sprint has you covered!
Sprint's 4G is pretty fast. Ever since I got the phone, I've turned on Wi-Fi maybe one or twice. I mostly turned to Sprint because they have unlimited data, whereas Verizon and other carriers charge by the gig.

Hit the "Thanks" button if I helped!
I suggest maybe waiting for a Tri-Band phone to be released before coming to Sprint so you can fully utilize the lte network. I know the LG G2 will be T-B and the Note 3 should be too, there are rumors of a S4 Tri-Band coming out soon, but personally I don't expect it. S4gru.com is a good place to check out all info for Sprints Network Vision upgrades and all other info.

I'm loving my S4 on Sprint. Their LTE network rollout has been kinda slow in my area but once it kicks in, it'll be very decent for sure. I recently went on vacation to areas where Sprint has LTE (Silicon Valley & San Francisco) and their LTE was awesome.

If you don't care about LTE, download and flash the .48 baseband.

Otherwise follow this guide if you want to try LTE. (If it's available in your area)

Its not possible to change it since its a physical thing on the phone. Not software.

The edition eventually available on the Google play store will almost definitely support AT&T and prob will not have the stupid logo in status bar.

That unlock method most likely will not work for the AT&T variant. The AT&T one is not supposed to be unlockable via any official means.

Hmm, they do have home solutions... I purchased the 4g-V and it seemed to work ok.
I now have the Sleek 4g which works for all US Carriers.
It boosts ATT really well, I noticed a boost on Verizon after I moved the antenna around some... I will report back later...
Oh the cost for the 4gV was on sale at best buy for around 70 dollars... the 4g that works with all carriers was around 160 or 170.
