Can we just flash the LTE Modem or will we have to get new phones?
our phones do not have the required hardware to go 4g. i could be wrong but i doubt it. but who cares, by the time at&t actually gets a real 4g, we should all be ready to upgrade.
LTE and HSPA are different. As long as HSPA is pushed then we can go to the max of the phones hardware.

What are the max speeds on HSDPA/HSUPA? And just how much are we going to miss?

Miami if you're not going to be helpful in Q/A then why post?
For 3G/4G you need to talk tech not blanket terms it would be easier to know what exactly you are asking.
HSPA+ LTE are the competeing tech one being a new tech (LTE) and one being an advancement of current tech (HSPA+).
Captivates can do um 7M using HSPA (double check gsm arena or the wiki or the manual for the numbers) so any upgrade to the network the device will top out at the max speed the device can support.

Max speeds for HSPA are theoretical. TMO said they would push it up to and over the 50M level while currently upgrades to networks have it at 14-21M though because of the way it works you will not get those speeds real world.

Just pointing out the obvious.
What companies does the international galaxy note work with in the u.s?....
T-Mobile and Straight Talk are the main two.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
To be honest, any GSM carrier. There's really only two GSM carriers, T-Mobile and At&t. Since the GT-N7000 is unlocked for the two, almost any sim will give you service. Stick with straight talk if you wanna keep it cheap. $15 Sim, and $45 unlimited everything.

And how is your 3g ?? I see there is some problems with 3g on T-Mobile. Please response.

as has been posted many times on here and in the 3/4g tmo dev radio thread youre not going to get 3/4g unless you live in an area that tmo is using the 1900 frequency and thats out in the northwest... n7000 = 850/1900 freq tmo = 1700/2100 (except a Very select few areas that they use the 1900
as for the quick answer for anyone still wondering what carrier... any that uses the 850/1900 freq... the 1700/2100 ones are out of luck until bedwa or another dev finds a radio to flash to make it work...
well if any one is still looking to get a gnote on t-mobile, maybe you should wait.....the word is it coming out officially on tmobile.....no more hassles on making everything work on tmobile....lol....but its weird...now that i can get it for tmobile in a couple of months.....i want it on verizon/sprint cdma network....lol...does anybody know if its coming out on a cdma network?.....ive read about it coming out on cdma as the galaxy journal but when?...or the real question is....is it coming out on cdma at all?....lol..
This is correct, but woefully incomplete.
TMO is limited to EDGE with the Note given incompatible 3G wireless bands, so while it will "work", it will be a dog on data.
The only practical carriers for the Note in the USA are Straightalk and ATT

how is tmobile reception primarily on east coast? Looking to get rid of big red.

If Big Red is crappy don't go to another CDMA carrier - it is even crappier. Sprint has no coverage in some parts whatsoever.
I had T-Mobile last year and it was way better.

Ymmv with any carrier. I live in Jersey City, NJ. T-Mobile's coverage where I live rivals that of Verizon. (I should know, I have accounts, with both companies and a Rezound in my house) I also have a multi line account with T-Mobile. As far as I'm concerned, the only reason I even haz Verizon is Sparky wanted a Rezound.

The only option barring a move to T-Mo is obvious....set up a tent under a Verizon tower.

Occupy VZW Tower!
I can't say much about the east coast, I live in Hawaii, on a rock in the middle of a huge pond. Service here is varied but all carriers here have equal amounts of coverage, but varies in different places based on who got priority on that tower location. Also, no HSPA+ or LTE here for anyone
TMobile.

What's the best company that offers unlimited prepaid plans out there?
Well here in the UK the best value for money on payg is 3.
I top up by £15 a month and get 300mins, 3000 txts and truely unlimited internet
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Since your in the U.S. And, on AT&T....
I'd recommend either
Straight Talk: 45$ a month unlimited talk/text however, they have nebulous TOS regarding their data limits. It's been discussed that you use about 2GB a month or 100MB a day without issue (being throttled or thrown off the network, with no refunds)
H20: 60$ unlimited talk/text/2GB data
Redpocket: 55$ unlimited talk/text/1GB data
Those are the ones that use AT&T's network and would be compatible with any locked (or unlocked) AT&T device.

since you are from the US,
StraightTalk: $45 Unlimited everything, $60 unlimited international everything runs on TMO and AT&T HSPA+ for BYOP SIMs
Net10: $50 unlimited everything, runs on cingular AT&T networks,
AT&T PayGo: different rates a little expensive but its very flexible

I don't know why but I get good speed even on 2g......

Xda also works with that speed

I heard about Lightyear Wireless and from what I know, they offer Unlimited calling, texting, and internet (without caps) for only $59.99. No contract, no deposits, and no credit checks. From what I've learned also, they're using Sprint towers for their service and that would mean, no GSM phones. :thumbdown:
They also have a referral program where you can get a FREE service if you use their service and refer 5 more customers to use the service as well.
Anyone tried this company before? Anybody knows the quality of their network?

I use an HSPA+ mifi but never see speeds likes yours, OP! I'm lucky to see 2mb down!
Did some driving around today, seems the speeds I posted are pretty limited to a small area here unfortunately. Most of the other places I tried were around 1 - 3 Mbps which is still better then what I get with Sprint (no 4g coverage here but I have to pay for it) just waiting until my contract is up to make the switch.

Just to add: Bell and Telus have a shared HSPA+ network that operates on both 850 and 1900. So unlike T-Mobile's, it has better in-building coverage and penetration. Same frequencies as AT&T but overall faster and less burdened. Lower burden due in part to the fact that there are very few customers with grandfathered unlimited plans of any kind - Canada saw its first iPhones launch with small data caps, while AT&T started with unlimited and only years later started to shrink the data allowance.
bump.. Anyone else? There's gotta be a lot more of us Nexus 7 3G owners out there by now.
att gave me horrible speeds, but tmobile gave me much better service. much happier now.
The employee at Tmo must have been unaware they had that plan, or else I might be using it. I should'a known tho because I thought I saw they had a tablet for sale! Anyway, I'm basically happy with 3gb for $30 with AT&T, but it's nice to have options.
does this device not have "H+" icon in the status and only shows "H"? I'm using the tablet plan on Telus in Canada and it only shows "H".
I have LTE signal when I plug in the sim card into my Nexus 5.
Any suggestions?
