[Q] 4G on GT-N7000 with Tmob or go Straight Talk?

I got this phone as a total impulse buy and didn't research. I am currently on Tmob and all I have is edge. How can I get 4G? Or should I just go to Straight Talk to get 4G.

You can either go with att or straight talk. I used to be on t-mobile and went to straight talk and data speeds are pretty good. I usually get 3Mbps sometimes as high as 6.

I get 7 down 2 up on att.
You will never get more than edge on t mobile.

Or get T-mo mifi
I also used the Note with Edge and T-mo, I used it on ATT with HSPA+ one moth and had very good speed so I am going to switch to straighttalk. However I also bought the Tmo mifi for when I travel and that works well to supply multiple devices with 4g.
I considered keeping my Tmo plan for the Note and using edge but keeping the Mifi around when I needed more speed. The only reason I do not do that is it would bring my monthly bill up to 60 and with Straight Talk I can get the same for 45.

You could try Net10 $50unlimited plan. I always thought they were a Verizon Mnvo but I guess they have agreements with ATT. I just ordered a sim so I can give them a try. Anyone have experience with their BYO plan?

I must be missing something here as I don't know what straighttalk is...
The note doesn't support 4g, you need dedicated hardware for that. Fastest you'll get is hspa+.

Att and its resellers is the only way to get 3g on an n7000 unless you live in one of the few areas of the usa where tmo uses the 1900 band for hdspa. I use tmo myself and dont find 2g that limiting, as i have wifi everywhere i go, and 2g is adequate for gps when traveling.

T mobile and att consider Hspa+ "4G".
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

I went to a phone store and they guy talked me into Red Pocket phone service. It is 60 per month and I get hspa+ everywhere I go. They cap at 2GB of data.
I average 3 to 6 MBPS down. I don't know if HSPA+ is generic 4G but for a phone, it's great.

T-Mobile Band 4 LTE, Las Vegas area!!!

Today T-Mobile announced LTE official launch in Vegas is due within two to three weeks. That means the network is definitely live and being finely tuned! Up until now only T-Mobile engineers had access to LTE network, but since it's weeks away it could be live for us consumers!
All of you in Las Vegas area with Nexus 4 should be downloading PhoneInfo app from PlayStore and forcing LTE/WCDMA/GSM on your devices as most likely T-Mobile LTE will be popping up within days if it isn't already!!!
Please report here! :laugh:

Forget las Vegas when is NY getting it?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Although I'd love to see NYC live asap, I don't think it'll be included in the very first LTE launch markets.
Vegas was the very first 1900Mhz HSPA+21 market last summer, and NYC was just officially launched a few weeks ago.

Well when it makes its way to NY I'll be sure to try it out

They said 100 million to 200 million people would be getting it by mid-year. I'm assuming Band 4 LTE is the flavor that the Nexus 4 likes?

Just to be clear, T-mobile is fudging these numbers. By 100 to 200 million, they mean possible customers. They aren't actually talking about 100-200 million actual customers having access to LTE.

No kidding. If they had 200 million customers they would be the number one carrier in the US.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

They're covering the markets loaded with potential subscribers. Also, when they officially launch a market, they don't claim that every cell site is upgraded either so YMMV.

Just use PhoneInfo.apk and change your network preference to LTE/WCDMA/GSM or LTE only while you're testing. If you see "4G" indicator, you're in! Then start speed testing lol

When I run lte only I get nothing. Now will I see a 4g symbol or will it stay on HSDPA when its live

Put it to LTE/WCDMA/GSM mode. Once ready, you'll see LTE.

Is there a rollout plan in existance that anyone may know yet?
I'm sure my area would be on the bottom 3/4 but you never know.
I know a few super small town not far from here got the standard 4g/LTE before the metro areas a while back, mainly because farmers sell their land so towers can be built. Gotta love the Midwest.

sorry folks but seattle will get it first!

this is awesome, hopefully sprint catches on and does something similar. Sprints international rates are atrocious! Although the One does have removable SIM capabilities, it would cut down the hassle of acquiring one in a different country and possibly having to cut it to microsim specs.

I regret my decision of staying with sprint every day. It takes me over 2 minutes to do a simple Google search on sprints network in my area that is supposedly in an LTE zone. The network is atrocious and they keep saying theyre upgrading the towers but it's been almost a year and if anything it's only gotten worse. The only thing that stopped me from going to T-Mobile was their terrible coverage in Michigan. Here's hoping this announcement gets Sprint moving to finally deploying a data network that is usable.

This is awesome, not because it makes me wanna switch to T-Mobile, but because it makes other carriers have to step up their game to compete on a level playing field

I for one like sprint. Except when I have 3g. Then it just plain sucks. Thankfully I have LTE almost everywhere

You do know that sprint may buy out T-Mobile

This is not going to happen. T mobile is on a roll. There network is better. There plans are better and there upgrade plan is better. They are taking the other threes customers daily. They are going to surpass sprint very quickly if they haven't and their lte coverage has already surpassed sprint. Sprint still doesn't care and sprints lte network as a whole is terrible. Yeah some people post some big speeds but for the most part most of us are not impressed. If t mobile has the monetary status to roll out their lte network like this so does sprint. T mobile was almost dead a year and a half ago. Sprint put in an lte network to say they are lte. Nothing more. Sorry sprint. T mobile has +42 hspa and lte. Why are we still here? Contract up in June and I'll bet t mobile has lte before sprint where I live so this is my last with sprint. End RANT!

What T-Mobile is doing for pricing and their offering is amazing. I really hope it spurs some real price competition from Sprint. Their 3G coverage in my area is total crap though, EDGE only in all of Bristol TN/VA and pretty much the entire areas around Johnson City and Kingsport. My biggest beef with T-Mobile is trust though. How do you trust a carrier that tried to sell their customer's out to the death star (AT&T)?
I do think Sprint is going to continue bleeding customers to T-Mobile unless they can do this:
-Provide some kind of similar free throttled international data, at the very least to Canada and Mexico.
-Go "no contract"
-Add sites to fix terrible 1900MHz LTE coverage in many areas where all their current towers have been upgraded but coverage still sucks, or hurry up on the tri-band phones and rollout of 800MHz LTE
-Lower the prices a bit
-Family plan price changes. Sprint's family plans are the worst deal out of the 4 carriers, and it's hard to make a worse deal than Verizon.
-Wifi calling on their phones would be better than the Airave program that I know costs Sprint lots of money
Basically, if Sprint would copy a lot of T-Mobile's ideas and fix serious issues with their LTE rollout, they'd be in a much better position. Sprint customer service is already better than T-Mobile, and that's pretty much the only selling point compared to T-Mobile besides superior non-LTE coverage. If things don't change soon, those selling points may become moot.

If their service was better in the first place. We wouldn't need it so much. So as for this being a selling point. No good. T mobile has already surpassed sprint in their lte rollout. And at the pace they are moving they are definitely putting improvements from monetary gains immediately back in the company. It won't be long at this pace and the approach they have in winning customers that they will continue to move quickly in their customer gains and ranking. Their lte just came second to att and beat att in 20 markets. Sprint is doing nothing but putting lte on existing towers. Therefore until they actuall will not improve coverage but just provide lte when we are close enough to a tower. Softbanks acquisition of sprint hasn't showed any improvements of the speed of deployment of lte. We already have the networks vision implemented where I live and there is honestly no improvement in call quality nor 3g speeds other than once in a while. I live 1.6 miles from a tower that has the netwot vision improvements and I have to use an airrave. Makes my stomach turn honestly. I've asked them why I need the airrave. The tower is literally on my street and I can't make a call from home without the airrave. T mobile has made improvements where I live and many people I know have moved from sprint to tmobile.

I live 3/4 of a mile from a tower and only get 1-2 bars inside without the Airave. I feel your pain. My T-Mobile friends cannot use their phones in my house at all unless they switch it to Wi-Fi calling.
T-Mobile is an absolute joke in this rural area. Right now they're only a serious option in cities, and nothing has changed regarding their coverage in my area or surrounding areas, so I have no reason to suspect this will change. Sprint has 3G all along I-81 even in rural southwest VA, whereas T-Mobile has only EDGE in SWVA for 3 hours from the state line, and they have only EDGE between the Tri Cities and Knoxville. Sprint has also added LTE to much of this area, for example the Greeneville, TN and Bristol, TN/VA markets have LTE from Sprint but only Edge from T-Mobile. T-Mobile LTE has not touched any region within 3 hours of me besides Asheville NC. My friend just drove up to Athens, OH on T-Mobile and was roaming for 5 hours of the 7 hour drive because T-Mobile has crap rural coverage. There is Sprint 3G coverage on that entire drive and 4G for the first hour.
If you live in a city T-Mobile may be great for you, but it's still not an option for most rural or semi-rural people.

The radio is great on the nexus 5

I see many people complaining that google used a cheap antenna.
http://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/DdnTSVArIB2SnhYT.huge
The antenna is on the bottom of the phone (Radio)
Left side of phone is Wifi/Bluetooth Right side is GPS
the white and black wires on each side is the antenna.
now people say the antenna sucks well i say it doesn't i have a galaxy s3 from T-Mobile and in my house it picks up EDGE and LTE Outside
my Nexus 5 can pickup 1 Bar of HSPA+ and LTE in some rooms and not just outside
so to those who are complaining about the reception its a $350 phone okay! and it does more than well enough for your needs i know they cut corners on the antenna but it still does significantly better.

Reception loads better for me than s3.

Looking at dbm, and not just bars, my Nexus 5 gets 3-5dbm worse reception than an HTC One XL or Moto X on AT&T LTE while being held, or while just sitting on a table.
Going into an area of a house where an AT&T LTE signal does not penetrate the Nexus 5 switches over to HSPA (once signal reaches -120dbm or so) much before the One XL or the Moto X.
This was tested on the .15 radio, the .17 radio, and the newest radio, whatever version number that is.

I get great reception with the Nexus 5.

Goodbye T-Mobile and Sprint. Hello Softbank USA!

I figured I'd post this here
http://pocketnow.com/2014/06/07/softbank-usa
As John Legere, the future CEO of Softbank USA has said, Uncarrier is here to stay!
I hope this means that I get Tri-Band on my Nexus 5!
-A T-Mobile Customer.

I have no problem with this even though my Sero plan will probably be going away as long as Dan Hesse gets canned and John Legere takes control with the TMO way of doing business.

this sounds awesome

Not a big fan of the name. SoftBank USA sounds more of a bank name than a carrier name.

Seriously, what does this mean for us N5 users? With the addition of Sprint Spark, the N5 can connect to literally EVERY band both companies have, 3G, HSPA+, T-Mo LTE, Sprint Band 25/26/41 LTE, etc...Will SoftBank issue new SIMs to utilize both networks? They might consolidate into GSM, but Sprint Spark is significantly more advanced then HSPA+/T-Mo LTE, and I think that they'd want to utilize that...Either way, should be interesting...

T-Mobile also has 20x20 LTE which is pretty fast. They're most likely going to go to VoLTE route.

in the end i dont really see a down side to any of this. just really hope they dont do away with unlimited data.

May the Mobile Data Gods be with us!
If you don't see a downside to this, you have never been on Sprint (lucky you). The absolute worst network has been hemorrhaging customers for quite a while for a reason, me as one of them. I am glad to see the rumor mill is for T-Mobile CEO to take the lead job, but I see great potential for my wonderful T-Mobile to be harmed mightily. Lets hope for the best

Speak for yourself. T-Mobile has 2G coverage in my town. Sprint(which I'm on) has 3G, and in the city next to me, Sprint has blanketed LTE, while T-Mobile has spotty HSPA and barely any LTE. In the sticks, Sprint is almost always better than T-Mobile, hell AT&T has more deadspots around my area than Sprint...

I'll be ok with the merger, as long as its like T-mobile taking sprint over, and not the other way around. Get rid of all sprint higher ups, and keep t-mobiles, because obviously the current t-mobile is much more capable then sprint has ever been since the sprint/nextel merger.
And i better get to keep my $30 100 min, unlim text 5gig data plan.

The most likely course of action is that the networks will remain as is and the combined company will transition to all LTE and eventually shut off the CDMA/GSM/UMTS networks completely.

Considering they will most likely have 800, PCS, AWS and the spark band; they could take one of those bands and use a third for voLTE.

Where I'm located (Houston Tx) T-Mobile sucks. I work w/ some guys who have great flagship devices and they have Tmo and are always getting dropped calls and data is spotty as all get out.
I'm in Biloxi Mississippi now and I have LTE about 70% of the time on Sprint. I have it 90% of the time in Houston and have for a while now. They have come a looooooooooong way. Guess it just depends on where you are located.
I hope the deal goes through. [emoji41]

If this is seriously the final verdict of the merger...I have to say I'm terrified and excited all at the same time. Sprint is right next to Verizon with me..and I hate both of them, no opinion of AT&T though.
But I'm excited because as long as Legere is still CEO I don't think us original T-Mobile clients have to worry too much (been with T-Mobile since 1999)..and hopefully we end up on a grandfathered plan so we don't lose features or have an insane price hike... Because the most important thing to me on my plan is unlimited data.
Edit : this makes sense now and it goes along with Uncarrier 5.0... Legere wanted to increase revenue...so he got did away with 15% discounts with programs like Triple A (AAA) and made it so only government and military workers are the only ones capable of getting a discount)
