Would it possible to install the 16gb hspa+ supported rom on a 32gb lte device? assuming both devices have the same hardware?
and if not, would it be possible to use the nexus lte on a hspa network in europe?

NO!!! Imo u should not install anything on ur phone unless it says its for your phone , there the same but diffrent , like nexus s and nexus s 4g same but diff..... guess it would depend on what bands ur lte nework has decide if it works or not,i would google a phone u no works on ur lte network look the band specs up then google ur g nexus see if same bands r there also ,easy way imo

Hey guys i bought the Samsung Galaxy S II from T-Mobile thinking that has HSPA+ bands I, IV and V.. like the box and website says.
Here we use HSPA+ band V (850) so, i inserted my sim card but i only pick 3G bands ( HSDPA )
Checking the bands that the phone has using *#2263# i noticed that i have WCDMA, GSM but also i have LTE bands ...
I never heard that T-Mobile Galaxy S II has LTE bands..
Any ideas why it says LTE instead of HSPA+?
YES, I WAS RIGHT! Samsung was to lazy to change the modem between the skyrocket and the T-Mo SGSII, so if you flashed one of our modems, you'd technically have a functional LTE radio.
Wow, this is crazy!

You'd have to flash a Skyrocket radio, because when I was using a T-Mobile radio, it wouldn't connect to LTE.
But that means, if I'm right, the Skyrocket and T-Mo SGS II have support for 850, 900, 1700, 1900, and 2100 HSPA+.... that's a pentaband phone.
****. YES.
Go ahead and try it folks.

Your talking about the post merger agreement right? It just may... and those of us on T-Mobile may be able to hijack Lte once the agreements are in place lol.
Its cool how there are so many similarities between the two phones. They are almost identical which is great for developement.

Yeah, but I don't think AT&T would allow another carrier to roam on a very new LTE network, especially when they don't even have 10% of their own customers on the network.
And it's really cool, because they are the same phone. xD
Although, I don't know why our accelerometer is flipped.

Could be, but with the short amount of time between release of the 2 phones, Samsung must have developed 2 phones, same hardware, flipped the accelerometer in one, and branded one AT&T, and the other T-Mobile.
Gotta say, that's a great way to save with development.

maybe you are right. i just bought this phone so, its probably the new version.. however.. here in peru where i am at, we use HSPA+ 850 but i cant pick that signal .. only 3G ( HSDPA ).. so means, TMO SGS II is penta 3G band but only One band HSPA+ ?

No, try this.
Go to the skyrocket forums, find the radio thread, and flash one of those modems.
If I'm right, it should kick on the 850MHz portion of the radio

if you're only able to get Edge speeds on the ATT GS3 even after flashing a TMo Radio, then all hardware is not the same....it would mean that the actual radio hardware is different on their respective carriers. If you're still gettin edge speeds on TMo using an ATT S3 then that means the actual hardware doesnt have the required 1700 TMo 3g band...which is what I believe to be the case, if it works and I'm wrong then awesome but until someone confirms 3g speed on the 1700 TMo band then I'm gonna assume each carriers hardware is different...also something to keep in mind, those who flashed the TMo radio on an ATT Galaxy Note have reported bad battery life.

i didn't see a difference in my battery life while i had the note. + it was unstable at times due to the galaxy s2 being a completley different device.
There is a chance the S3 uses a different radio. I unlocked a One X this week & tried to get it to work on T-mobile. It did not pick up the signal . However, there are apparently two versions of the One X one with the 1700mhz band and one without. So it's kind of hit or miss on that device.

I had the same problem with a Tablet from China. it only had the 850/1900/2100 band. T-Mobile needs the 1700 mhz band as indicated above and the 2100 MHZ band for 3G. I could only get Edge from the other bands in that modem on that tablet.
So unless the ATT device has the 1700 band, you can not get t-mobile 3G. There are many different modem chips with and without some of these bands.

I believe the hardware allows it to use 1700 mhz but it is now simply a matter of enabling it on the phone. Waiting on OP's results before I make my purchase this weekend and thankful that he is trying it out.

It has been confirmed that an AT&T GS2 can work on T-Mobile AWS frequencies after replacing the baseband firmware with one from T-Mobile (and ensuring the device is carrier unlocked). I would assume then that doing something similar to an AT&T GS3 should also allow it to function on T-Mobile 3G or HSPA frequencies.
The hardware between the two devices are similar except that the SOC utilized on the T-Mo variant precludes LTE. Otherwise, the modems are functionally the same.
Doesn't work for the time being, i got unkown signal and phone refused to connect to network. Enabling it to work would require more than a flash of the modem.
More than likely the ATT device does not have 1700 band.
I need someone to crack this quick, it will influence whether i return the phone. Thanks for trying.

Won't work hardware not supported.
What do u base that on? The modem not working? That doesn't mean the hardware is not included. At&t's software could be programed to reject t mobile band modems.
Check this out, they're working on cross carrier compatible roms. These none at&t/touch wiz roms will eventually confirm whether it can be done.

I think the 1700 band is hidden really well if it's even there, so as of right now the hardware for the radio is not supported. Modems don't falsh over but Roms do, i am running a T-mobile rom right now on my i747. I tried flashing the modem and my phone wouldn't recognize any signal.
I dont know man. This chip was designed to be the mother of all frequencies. Then i hear the t mobile version may have a differnt chip and t mobile sayin they have no lte hardware.

Since the AT&T GSIII) and T-mobile GSIII) are basically the same phone I wounder if the AT&T version will work on T-mobile 3G/4G. Similar to the way the AT&T Galaxy Note works on T-mobile 3G/4G. I was gone probably by the phone out right to use on T-mobile. AT&T has it for 550.00 where as T-mobile has it for 630.00.
I don't think so because att phone doesn't support mobile's aws band but idk if you could flash a modem. I did that on my note but the speeds were horrible. But yea t-mobile is expensive I just paid 680$ for my s3 today at my retail store..

I don't know, i'm wondering the same thing. the phones are identical. I think it's a very high possibility that there will be rom/radio/ kernal combinations in the future that will cater to t mobile radios that we will easily be able to flash. Just unlocked mine, I think i'm gonna have faith in US GSIII development, identical hardware and eventual full cross compatibility.
As far as I know, the Att has an lte modem and the tmo doesn't. I read that even when tmo launches LTE it won't work with the gs3. But, the tmo has att hspa+ support 1700mhz and should work with att 3g no problem.

The modem for lte or hspa+ is built into the msm8960. In theory they should be interchangeable

What I don't get is why t-mobile would use a different chipset if the 747's msm8960 was compatible with 1700 aws. Especially since t-mobile is spending billions to refarm right now to make all gsm devices compatible with their network. It just doesn't make sense. Until there's confirmation, there are reasons to have doubts.

He spoke about trying to flash the t-mobile s3 radio in another thread earlier with no results. Returned his and ordered the t-mobile variant. I ordered a skyrocket myself. So far it doesn't look good. But of course with radios nothing is concrete. All we can do is flash their files and hope something sticks.

Has anyone tried injecting the modem.bin of T999 to the i747M CWM flash ready file and has their phone network unlocked with T-Moblie/Mobilicity/Wind sim?
There are at least two "versions" of the MSM8960, one with the LTE support, one without. The TMO version has the MSM8260A modem, which can be verified with getprop from the terminal. In essence, the TMO version does have the newer S4 (Krait) CPU, but it does lack the LTE hardware. So, no, the phones are not identical. The TMO version does support AT&T HSPA frequencies though, but the ATT version does not (at least in the default configuration) support TMO HSPA frequencies. Whether that can be changed or not, I don't know.
From "getprop" in terminal:
ro.board.platform - msm8960
ril.modem.board - msm8260a
What does the AT&T version say?
When Amazon first posted the AT&T version on their site I read a review about it saying it would work on T-Mobiles network for voice but not data.

What they undoubtedly meant was that you would only get plain old GSM (EDGE, GPRS, etc.) with the AT&T version on T-Mobile, due to the lack of proper frequency support for T-Mobile's network. Still voice and data, just slow as hell by today's standards. However, the T-Mobile version fully supports AT&T frequencies for HSPA (no LTE though).
I'm about to upgrade my mytouch 4g to S3. But I'm wondering if S3 will support future LTE network. I've heard that in future 3G network will use 1900 band and lte will be implement on 1700/2100. Can S3 support LTE in future? If not, I'll probably wait for next year to upgrade my phone. THanks.
I think the only carriers version that does not is tmobile.

No, it will not support the LTE network. It is not included in the SoC of the phone.

Yes T-Mobile is slowly adding lte, the same band at&t uses. But like others have said, our T-Mobile version does not have the hardware to support it.

Yes. That's correct. TMO is deploying LTE on AWS 1700/2100 and use 1900(from ATT) for their H+ network. So that's why I'm a little confused here.
If let's say tmo finished upgrading, would the phone without 1900 band still be able to use the hsdpa+ network? I guess I have wait until they finish the upgrade.
I'm starting to believe Samsung are pushing these S3 phones away to release a newer S3 or something. $50 for a S3 with 2 year contract is ridiculously cheaper than any other recent phones on the market. It may be cheaper than S2. Companies usually do these type of moves when getting rid of something to present something newer (maybe the Note II) but to answer your answer, no. T999 doesn't support LTE but LTE does need AWS spectrum which T999 has.

And that chip has LTE capability look at the S4 plus specs http://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/processors/s4/specs
Has anybody opened the phone to double check?
We've already had this discussion when the phone was first released. The short answer is no.
