This is probably a long shot since it's so early.
I've used AT&T / Rogers / Telus Notes on Wind and never get a download speed above 0.5mbps. It's unusable.
Was hoping TMobile's version would help
Is it just a software modem change? or are there actually hardware differences in the T879?
Thanks.

I am going to get my t-mobile galaxy note in a few days so I can report back how it works with Wind in Canada.
I've tried both. Wind is faster but only slightly. Both hit like 3 Mbps down and 1 up under perfect conditions, which is never. However we pay $25 for unlimited everything. Hard to complain. I find The VK1_test and jeet92's modems work best in burnaby and vancouver.
Edit: my response is based on the title. I failed to read that you asked about the Tmob note.

That is quite impressive actually.
Can I get more details? So you're running the stock T879 rom? and T879 modem?
Not the AT&T modem? Anything custom? If so, can you try with a custom AT&T rom and T879 modem?
Finally, have you tried putting back a bell/rogers sim card to see what speeds you can still get on their network?
Thanks in advanced

T-879 with Wind
I am using the T-879 from T-Mobile with Wind for almost a week know , this one replacing t-mobile Galaxy SII T-989.
Phone came with ICS 4.0.4 and baseband T879UVLG3.
The reception is much better than SII on Wind. Download speed is somewhere around 7 mbps down and 1.5 ~ 2 mbps up , again doing better than SII
I switched to Mibilicity from Wind, phone and modem same as user Alicklee, I am going to try it and see. So far, at home, not much of a diff except that voice quality is better. haven't tested data speeds yet. My Wind at work was really bad, actually zero reception so will see monday, a colleague is on Mobi and has 2-3 bars.
Waiting for newer/better modem than the one from post #2 of the OP.

My atrix default language is "Korean"
So korean appeared. Please refer "HSPA" character.
I envy your wonderful upload speed.
I lived in korea and our service provider SKTelecom support HSPA.
but they limit max upload speed to 0.5Mbps....
My S/w version is
"OLSKT_U4.1.14.0" (Korea SKTelcom localizing S/W)
Yeah, download speed is not bad, but upload speed is poor...
but, this is not a atrix problem, our carrier speed limit problem..

Flashed the SBF to Bell Atrix on the Bell network.
Previously, the dl/ul speeds were both pretty brutal, and I was sure Bell was to blame as I just ported from Fido. Anyway, here are the results
I'm heading into work, so I will try rooting when I get there. Maybe some other results as well.
Edit : Before flashing, my speeds were hovering around 2000-3000kbps down, and 500kbps up.

If I scavenge around this site and Google hard enough, I can find this question asked a few times, but none have definitive answers. This is a phone that I'm extremely interested in purchasing, as the Sony XPeria Z and Samsung Galaxy S 4 don't have an appeal remotely close to that of the HTC One's. Wind Mobile is a hard carrier to find phones for it seems, but I'd really love to use this phone on my network. Since the international and LTE variant lack the AWS 3G band to support Wind, would the T-Mobile version be compatible? On T-Mobile's website, it states that the UMTS Band IV is 1700/2100, which should be compatible with Wind's 3G network. I would just like to confirm this is true? Normally, I don't like to start new threads to a simple natured question like this, but I'm pretty much desperate to confirm whether or not I can use this phone. That way I'll know whether or not to get excited, or just stick with my S3. Thanks, it's much appreciated.

Was on wind in the past, yea it's hard to find devices for this carrier because it's strictly on AWS for its data and services.
The HTC One might work...but if I recall correctly you need 1700/1900/2100 frequencies for HSPA+ or something.
If it's anything like the original Galaxy Note, you may have to flash a radio or something to make it compatible with wind IF this phone is pentaband. If it isn't, f forget it because no amount of radio flashing will work if it the hardware doesn't support it.

Okay, even if the T-Mobile variant is unlocked, most people will have a locked bootloader on their S4. Sprint's still the minority.

Hopefully the AT&T/Verizon variants will be as easy to unlock as the S3 was on Verizon. It didn't seem to take too long for the S3/Note 2 to have their bootloader unlocked.
S4 on Sprint so far.
Hey there... about Sprint:
Was pretty happy with picking up my S4 from Sprint.
Went to check it out on the second day of sales. They said, "Oh, we just sold the last one a couple hours ago."
I was all like, "Oh crap, and I wasn't going to come at all because I thought they would be sold out."
The guy said, "We will have more tomorrow"
So I came back the next day and got one!

Your local tower/site might be being upgraded to LTE. If so, you should expect some down time. My site literally went offline for a few days (100% roaming on Verizon) until they finished whatever upgrade they were doing. Got LTE about a week later. But as stated, your mileage may vary.

My S4 is the same speed on 3g as my Evo 4G LTE and as our S3. I used Speedtest to verify. I'd take the phone into a Sprint store and run Speedtest on it compared to their display model. Turn wireless off on both phones first, of course.

If you don't have upgraded towers, your service should remain the same. If not, I would suggest you get your new phone looked at since it's still under warranty.

I'm coming from a Nexus S 4G too and this phone has so much better reception, especially wifi. Don't really get LTE that often though, which is kind of disappointing because I actually had pretty good WiMAX coverage. But I know LTE coverage will only get better with time.
Signal != Data speed. If your signal is good but your data speed is slow, it's most likely that the sector is overloaded or the site is currently backhaul limited. It sounds like the site you connect to hasn't had Network Vision upgrades yet. Go familiarize yourself with Network Vision over at s4gru.com.
Call sprint before you return it. I had the same thing. I had great signal with my HTC Evo 3d and when I switched to the S4, I was dropping calls like crazy and with 1 bar or no signal. Found out that they were updating the towers and I also have 4g in my area now. Woot!

Hello everyone,
For the longest time I was not able to get LTE connection on my Note 4 international variant (N910F). I called T-Mobile about it, since I knew the phone had the capabilities to connect, and T-Mobile told me that I should have bought their phone if I wanted LTE, and that they could not help me.
Giving up all hope on LTE connection, I started installing roms to see what cool features where out there. I installed several different roms, and still I had no LTE (not that I was thinking of getting it). Then I installed CM12 and LTE appears! I check the speeds and indeed I was connected to LTE on T-Mobile line. Everything was great until I found out CM12 has three great bugs that I cannot live with: 1) No apps to SD possibility and 2) Access to the camera, from any app, crashes. I have to reopen the app a second time for the camera to function (Messenger has no access at all) and 3) Various app crashes.
So I returned to stock rom, but I miss the features of a custom rom (especially ViPER) and LTE. I tried other roms but I can't find any with LTE working.
Do you know what part of CM12 enables LTE? And if I can flash it into another more stable custom rom?
Thanks
With stock formware on N910F, the LTE icon is displayed as 4G. Try checking your connection again by going to Settings>About Device> Status... then under Mobile Network type.. you can see if you are actually connected to LTE.. There is also an app called Network Signal Info on play store. Good luck

I checked the connection on mobile network on stock ROM and the highest option I had was 4G. Maybe I'll email CyanogenMod and ask them. Thanks though

Yup....
On international phones, LTE signal is represented by 4G icon. So if you see 4G on your phone, it's actually LTE. You were already getting LTE in the first place. You did not have to flash roms and void warranty.
Do you see "LTE" as in the picture below?

I understand that, but the speeds are noticeably different.

Yes. Sometime this week I'll reinstall stock and share an image of the connection.
