Only getting edge 2 (straight talk at&t) - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I have an unlocked T989 on at&t under straight talk. I noticed in the mobile network status it says edge:2. Why, and how do I get 3g?
Much thanks

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the phone doesn't have the bands to be able to use anything but edge on other networks.

He/she means MetroPCS, which is CDMA/LTE.
Short answer: No.
Long answer: MetroPCS is on a different frequency for LTE than Verizon so at best, you will get CDMA and voice, but I wouldn't count on even that.

Hmmmm... The GNEX is a PENTABAND phone though so wouldnt that mean it should work on the MetroPCS network? What are the Metro bands?

The GSM version is pentaband. This is not GSM.
The CDMA Nexus supports these bands:
2G Network CDMA 800 / 1900
3G Network CDMA2000 1xEV-DO
4G Network LTE 700 MHz
MetoPCS is the same as above, except:
4G Network LTE 1700 MHz

Well... Seeing as I am on a GSM Network I have never needed to research the CDMA/LTE version of the device and all documentation I have ever seen just simply listed it as a "pentaband" device so sorry if I got it wrong... lol...

Well there are 2 devices to follow lol. One GSM and one CDMA. The CDMA model obviously will not have a pentaband LTE radio in it, as its made to specifically work on Verizon.

So Verizon is the ONLY CDMA/LTE version of the GNEX? I did not realize that either if that is the case.
I just keep on learning... Lol...

Yes. The CDMA/LTE version of the Galaxy Nexus was made specifically for Verizon USA. It is not sold or able to be used anywhere else in the world (except under Verizon roaming plans in specific markets).
That's wrong. MetroPCS is listed as a provider for the phone, so I assume they will include a radio that supports them (after the crappy VZ only 90 day embargo)..
Soooo... then you can flash the GSM version??? Is anyone working on a ROM for this?

How would you flash the GSM version, when we JUST STATED that Metro runs on CDMA networks? Learn to READ. :thumbdown:

No...you are wrong.
No radio flash changes the frequencies of internal radios.
So once again, can the Verizon model be flashed to MetroPCS and have everything working?
--No, it cannot.
I realize this is an incredibly old thread, but we don't need confusion filling the forums for those who search.
CDMA Galaxy Nexus cant be flashed unless you can find a way to connect as a DIAG PORT.... I tried already flashing a Verizon Galaxy Nexus Over To PagePlus Cellular and i couldnt find a way to connec to CDMA Workshop....
So like other people posted before it cannt be flashed to MetroPCS

I saw on a previous post that our phones have the 4G LTE bands

I saw on a previous post that our phones have the 4G LTE bands. This might have been for the ATT Tmobile merger but since that isn't happening there is something else that we could probably use it for. Tmobile is going to come out with 4G LTE but the devices dont include the SGS2. Can we get our LTE bands to work on the new Tmobile's 4G LTE?
heres the source

There is a thread for this already.
And our LTE chip is disabled...
So no....
M&S
only the rocket i727 version has the LTE chip, and can be flashed to run either HSPA AWS 1700 or LTE AWS 1700
details are on the R&D topic in DEV

It works great, but only shows 3G for AT&T, no 4G as it shows when it's on T-Mobile sort of 3G/4G network..
Actually quite honestly, I don't see much difference in 4G/3G difference is there when we go to LTE

If I read this right, the N7105 is international and doesn't have LTE, is that correct?

Some think the 7105 is international with no LTE, but others think the opposite. many would like to know the real answer.............so we know which one to buy, wait for ATT (know that is LTE) or buy earlier the N7100, but only if it has LTE. Some websites call yes to LTE, others don't call out 4G LTE so anyone really know? FCC did a test on N7105 and called out no LTE, which them would make one believe the N7100 will have LTE.

It supports 800mhz LTE, which is European bands. Use ATT is 700/1700. based upon info, if correct, appears the N7105 is international, which should mean the N7100 is U.S. compatible for 4G LTE, per someone I spoke to who should know.

Download quadrant and go to system information and post that screen shot. That with us some useful system info
Wait you said it supports 2.6ghz? Why can't samsung just say the release and models with their bands already.
N7100 = NAM LTE bands

You are mistaken.
N7105 has LTE, N7100 does not.
I'm testing this for a carrier here in Singapore which has LTE running on 1.8Ghz and 2.6Ghz band.

Some stores that have SGN2 "Bånd
WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM 850/900/1800/1900" for the 7100 model. There's no 7105 at all to be found. Granted they may be wrong(also how can both 3G and LTE use 1800mhz?), but you also don't have any proof of actually having the phone. And please explain how a system dump wouldn't reveal you while a screenshot can. I can't understand, there's a lot more to be extracted from a system dump.

You don't think maybe your XDA profile linking to your Twitter feed which has a picture of you all over it might do that? If you're legit then you're terrible at hiding your identity and should probably drop this idea before your employer notices.

Sorry, but it's not going to work with this phone.
Orange Dominicana uses the 900 band frequency for 3g (WCDMA). On this phone that band is locked for being used with 2g (GSM). That's why you're getting Edge.
Unfortunately, the T-Mobile version of this phone also locked the 900 band for GSM. That means the NV data hack won't work for you either.
Sorry. Hope that explains it, and I hope they at least launch LTE service on a compatible band for you.
