Can Exhibit ii receive LTE? - Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G

After t-mobile starts broadcasting LTE, can the Exhibit ii receive LTE? I'm told LTE is a different frequency than 3g and 4g, so I'm wondering if this phone will be able to handle it. Anybody know?

I highly doubt this phone, being a cheap pos, will spur LTE but I know the s4 will so I'm not worried

Yeah rub it in 'devil!

so back to my question -- will exhibit ii receive LTE?
So back to my question. Is the exhibit ii capable of receiving LTE signals?

No, it doesn't support the LTE bands/frequencies. Only the Note II, Lumia 810, and a re-released Galaxy S3 will be capable of receiving T-Mobile's LTE.

And s4, and next month iPhone 5

UK Orange 4G

Dear all
Very exited to read that my home city is getting 4G at end of October. Does anyone know whether the N7000 will support Orange/EE 4G network?
A friend of mine went to the launch at the NEC and couldn't get a straight answer.
Thanks in advance

Nope. You need a phone with an LTE modem to use 4G which our N7000 doesn't have.
EE are releasing a Note II LTE for use on their network.
Thanks for the quick response! That's a shame.
When I bought the note orange told me it would support 4g. I realise that I should have checked the specs myself BUT do you think I can claim that ive been miss sold the device?

EE UK's 4G S3 model...

Am i right in thinking that the model supplied by EE in the uk for their 4G network is the I9305?
I already bought the regular 3000 and im getting uphraded by my network next month so im trying to decided whether to go for a 4G s3 or a 4g note 2 next.
Cheers.

If you don't mind the size than it's only one answer NOTE 2 LTE... i9305 is just smaller version of i7105, same HW, smaller screen & battery...
To me Note 2 is too big that's why I've got S3 LTE...

i would first find out if you can get 4g in your city yet if not then you could just get the 3g for now but i did get the 4g one i can get 4g were i am but im on t-mobile for now cuz ee wanted 149 for the phone and t-mobile wanted 49 so it was a no brainer and it wa only 20 between the s3 3g and the 4g one so i just got the 4g cuz it had 2gb ram and could do 42.2 rather than the 21.1 i think there the speeds of 3g o just a bit of food for thought

LTE question

I know our phones Hardware is exactly the same as the att note so my question is.. If it's identical hardware wise and with tmobile now has LTE wouldn't our phone be able to access the LTE? I'm on 10.1 and there is an apn that says tmobile LTE and I selected that. and in preferred network I put it on LTE/GSM/WCDMA... and the data all works and it does seem to be faster. I did a speed test and got 5 mpbs. I usually get 3-4....maybe I got partial LTE?? any expert advice is embraced! Thank you

I think you have to patch the radio to get it and even then, your battery takes a hit. I get a constant 10mbps down here in Los Angeles using the stock radio on HSPA+. If you are just changing your APN settings without patching, I'm not sure you are getting anything from LTE, especially if it's only 5 mbps.
Hey fraughtsiguewolf nice to see u reply... How or where can we find the patch?

Reasons for switching to a different device

I just wanted to point out the HTC one lte antenna isn't the best. Just today I've traded the htc one for S4 I now have LTE signal at home.
I traded my S4 for the One and get way better speeds on LTE and 3g on the one

31 up and 9 down eh? Damn that's a fast upload speed.
This pretty much mirrors my own observations. I don't think it's just the antenna either - if you toggle data, you can get 4G in a lot of places with marginal signal on the One. Once that drops down to 3G however, it will never go back to 4G in that area unless you toggle data again.
Enjoy your S4. I'm sticking it out with the One in the hopes that Sprint/HTC fix the radio so it holds on to 4G better.
HTC phones are notorious for having not so great radios. Not saying it's necessarily true, but each of you can be the judge of that.
The newest radio works perfect for me. Signal is strong and switch off between 3g wifi and lte are quick

Sprint network doesn't seem to be all that good. On the sprint network it always seemed to drop 3g all together.
I also use my phone sprint HTC one in Kuwait with a different carrier and have had no problems with signal.

I don't think thats true. To an extent, sure, but this phone is a lot like the EVO LTE. It has a hard time holding onto 4G and getting it to actually switch to 4G sometimes requires toggling airplane mode on and off.
Too bad the S4 sucks as a phone and has touchwhiz.

First, the HTC One is made from aluminum which can disrupt signal. However, on my HTC One I have always gotten LTE when I was suppose to. Signal strength compared to my family's phones HTC Evo 3d, iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S3, and a HTC Evo 4g lte.
I went from htc one to note2. I seem to keep a better consistancy, but it isnt like a night and day
I tweaked my one setting to scan more so I was able to hold it more than stock. But it has improved. I do miss my htc one but still love my note2

I don't think there's anything wrong with the radios. Just that HTC uses different values on the LTE settings. I was comparing my EVO LTE and Note 2 LTE values and I believe the EVOs values were higher. I'm sure that plays a role..

I consistently have LTE where my GF's Note 2 is on 3g. She has yet to have LTE, where I'm stuck in 3g.

Wait, srsly? Where in Boston are you getting this, if you don't mind my asking? I live about 14mi north and I get crappy speeds
I get this all day long. Always full bars and sometimes drops one or two but always gets back to full. Rarely see 3g.

At my work we have a very weak lte signal. Three of us have Sprint HTC ones, the rest has the s3, s4, and the Note II. The ones suck on weak lte signals. Constant drops, slower speeds, and according to the Signalcheck pro app, it's about ten dBm weaker. The note II is a beast on lte, and the s3 and s4 and much better as well.

I went from an original Evo 4G to the 4G LTE. This was weeks before the LTE rollout and it sucked. However, after roll-out, it still sucked. My wife got an S3 and her speeds were great, but more importantly, she could get (and keep) the LTE signal everywhere, whereas my EvoLTE could NOT. I went to the S3, then the Note 2 and had great speed and signal everywhere. However Samsung decided it did not want to support Outlook 10 anymore so I am back to HTC. My first day (yesterday) I was back to the HTC radios which cannot get and hold LTE signals as well as Sumsung.
It just is what it is.

Samsung has a slightly worse track record.

Sprint Spark to be released on Nov 8th!

http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/30/sprint-spark-enhanced-lte/
Does anyone know if our phone will support this updated network?
Just kinda wish they would put their focus into getting LTE into all markets first....there are a lot of people that have been patiently waiting to use LTE on their LTE devices that pay a pretty penny for!
Our phone isn't compatible

I think at this point Sprint can kiss my ass. Total BS that their focus isn't on LTE.

This is part of the lte focus. You can't get 60mbps over 3g.

Spark is just a fancy name for the triband network(1900,800,2500). Its the second phase of network vision. The One only supports 1900. Sprint is movin g in a great direction with this. Using 3 bands in tandem will give crazy speeds.

exactly...this is all part of network vision....they just added a name to it....with all the growing pains they're going through right now, it will be awesome once they're done.
I read somewhere that there MAY be a firmware update to enable this for us....is that true? I assumed that if the One Maxx is running the same hardware then the radios should be the same too
Not true. Our phone doesn't support Lte on 800 or 2600 so no spark on this phone.

I love new technology & spark looks pretty cool, but all I see them talk about is data.....what about voice? Will the tri-band phones improve w/ voice usage? I don't use voice all that much, but when I do it usually sux @ss.
