Please send your bounties/donations/thanks/candies to TMOKIETH @ krwusa@gmail.com. Without him, this wouldn't be possible.

Canadian S3 i747M is NOT working permanently on AWS 3G at this time. Changes are lost on restart. Kind of like a tethered iPhone. If you would like to try it, please see: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36410875&postcount=197

I'm just curious. What is the advantage of having 3g on that frequency? Better reception and service?

Thanks

So you can use it on t mobile.

My question is, why not just buy a T-Mobile version if that's what you need. :scratches head:

Probably more roaming options or using LTE in certain situations.

Who said this was even possible? For all we know, these frequencies are disabled in hardware.

That's assuming it'll be possible to use tmo without being a tmo subscriber.

oooh... this is my first LTE phone so I was unaware that it may be hardcoded into hardware...did the the s2 sh!trocket not have the ability to toggle LTE on/off? (even after flashing custom ROMs and tweaks?)

Did he give you any word if he would do it or not?

ysr84 · Jul 15, 2012

I am trying to be optomistic however so many threads conclude its not possible.

He was unavailable at the moment. I have asked him to attempt this when he gets back.

Means some people are saying its not possible to do... I am still optomistic but from reading different threads I was informed that there is a difference of hardware which would make it impossible to make i747m work with tmobile 3g.
