LTE question - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note

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?

I don't think there is one for our phone. I only saw it for the Nexus.

I'm using the N7000 with Bell and I get hspa data speeds. I don't see why it wouldn't work with Rogers.

I didn't have to input any apn. Not sure if you will have to with a Rogers sim. Data speeds are good. Slightly better than my Galaxy Nexus.

You may have to... just Google them, aren't hard to find at all. I'm awaiting my note as well (putting it on Rogers too)
You might want to disable fast dormancy on the Rogers network with the N7000. It should help your battery life a bit.

Fast Dormancy is a protocol established between the cell masts and the radio in your phone. It allows both ends of the data transfer to co-ordinate switching between high and slow speed data modes. If your carrier supports it then it can save battery power, running at the less energy intensive slower data speeds when you aren't transferring large amounts of data and switching the HSPA+ when needed.
If your carrier does not support it then you typically will see slightly reduced battery life with it on.
As far as I know, in Canada, only the Bell/Telus network support it.

Wow, thanks. Notice my smiley face at the end of my sentence?
Install a browser on your phone and search. It's not hard. Shows what a person gets for trying to help someone out. I gave you an explanation you asked for but I am not going to spoon feed you too.
Canadians are generally known for being polite and kind. So much for that assumption. Must be some sort of stereotype like beavers and polar bears.

Q and A forum. Ask questions to get answers. Pretty straightforward...
Back on topic, you can definitely use this phone with Rogers. Just tried it with a Rogers sim and the apn appeared after a few seconds. Enjoy!

Q: T-Mobile speedtest

Hello,
I am going to buy an international note.. what are its speeds for web browsing..
Speed test pics would be appreciated and videos
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
anyone have speed test pics??
It would really help me out.. I don't know if I should spend 700 on the pink note. If I'm gonna have super crappy internet
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Well the speed for web browsing is really fast on HSDPA+ (The highest one that you can get here in europe)
Found a speedtest on a german android forum.
http://fs01.androidpit.info/userfiles/411957/image/galaxy note 749.png
Edit:
Remember, that's not the highest value. HSDPA+ can reach up to 21,1 Mbit/s here.
This was with an international note?
But idk if it be the same for T-Mobile since were on 1700mhz
If 9mbps was reached there.. hopefully here as well

Cons of the GT-N7000:
No support for LTE in the USA
No support for T-Mobile 3G data
No NFC radio

So there is no 3G data (and upper I assume) available with the International Note. Any reasons for not taking the AT&T Note SGH-I717 instead?
So what were those speeds lol.. I gotta see some speedtests of someone using it on tmobile
Idc I'd get the att one.. but too overpriced .. if ima pay a lot for the phone I'm going to buy what I really want. And that is the Pink Note

But it actually shows the speed depending on his new radio.
All others were using AT&T on the Galaxy Note... Could even find a picture.
Also just read that you are able to use >3g, sorry for misleading informations.
lol so complicated as we don't have 4g here.
The video is an art note lol
I need international.. hahah. The pink note is international
Thanks though!
And what wait I'm confused 3g on what? International or att?

no speedtest but the web browsing speed seems pretty good

So buy a pink case or those sticker covers and you can make it pink. I'd rather have a fully functional device than a colored device. That is only if you need the speed. if not pink it up! Where I live I only get 3G. Not hspa+, when I go downtown I get hspa+ so it's not worth it for me nor a deal breaker.

I use an n7000 on tmo stateside. Its only 2g so speeds are horrible... roughly 100 to 150kbps both up and down. This doesnt really matter to me however, as im in wifi 99% of the time. The 2g works fine for gps, email and mobile versions of websites. But forget about youtube, or full version website surfing. One thing i havent checked is pandora streaming... might work ok.

I have the international note, and for the most part I get around 256k speeds at best. Depending on where you are located though they have repurposed their 1700 band into their latest hspa+, so if you happen to end up in one of those area data will be really fast. (sorry never ran a speed test with one of those connections) The problem is that is was mainly an experiment and they most likely won't continue not that they are moving to LTE, and the areas with this working are fairly rare.

Well tmo is currently experimenting with the new base and 1900 for 4g.. said to start releasing it this summer slowly.
If they do, these phones will get waaay better speed.
Thank you everybody.. and yeah I'm on wifi about 50% of the time.. and mostly on fb or sometimes YouTube when I'm not.
And no I don't want a vinyl. Or a case. Not the same thing. Plus I heard att one doesn't even get that great of speeds

You'll get Edge on tmobile. Which is supposedly 635 kbps download

You'll probably see around 100kbps up/down.

3G/4G data Signal on Korean Galaxy Note SHV-E160L/K/S in USA

Is anyone with a Korean Galaxy Note SHV-E160L/K/S able to get 3G/4G data Signal in the States?
I bought a T-mobile SIM card for my phone(SHV-E160L) I'm able to get only G signal on my phone even though I'm in a 4G plan.
T-mobile are crooks....I ask them before buying the sIm card and they this me the phone is compatible and now they're saying I can't get it cos the phone is on different bandwidth or something like that.
Is anyone in USA having similar issues and were you able to resolve it?

Dear friend, you might solve the problem? I have a shv-e160l but only recognizes 2G in El Salvador and not 3G, I have read about it but still I can not find a solution.
Hello bro
Did you fix this problem?
I have the set with same problem....
Is there any way to fix this bro
Thanks.
There is a shv-160 owners thread in the ATT Note i717 forum. Should take it up there.

Left nexus 4 to come back the atrix hd. I'm on tmobile.

So my question is, and correct me if I'm wrong. But, I can still unlock the att atrix HD to be used on tmobile , correct? Reason for leaving the nexus 4 is the eb40 battery. I had the atrix HD a few months back that had the eb40 in it and got 7 hours of actual screen time with 30 hours between charges. That alone is good enough of a reason.

Yes. You can unlock it and use it with T-Mo. You will get full 4G (if in your area) as well as LTE. (again, only if its in your area)

Do it bro. I unlocked mine and so far no problems. The only rom that have me problems was that miuiv5 port. It would ask me for my unlock code every now and then but LiquidSmooth working powerfully and perfectly! I paid 20 bucks for my unlock code and had it within 2 to 3 hours. No signal nor lte problems although i prefer h+ on T-Mobile due to lte being a batt hog

YUP. Welcome to the Matrix HD T-mo club.
After unlocking, make sure you set the fast.t-mobile.com apn which gives you access to LTE.
Otherwise if you're in an lte area, you'll have no access to internet (the 4g lte icon will be shown but cant turn on).
Mexica retail will allow you to manually select between 4g/3g/2g modes if youre feeling like saving battery/MB
I got LTE 13 on T-Mobile with stock rom and epc.T-Mobile.com apn

There are, but they're for the 4.2.2 custom roms. Without an actual kernel dev working on this device making a custom stock kernel, the best we could do is add in a few patches to the stock for CPU/GPU overclocking, some IO schedulers, and maybe some of the patches used by the dev team. I've even thought about doing a full merge of the dev team kernel and our stock JB kernel just because I can, don't know what that'll do or if it would even boot.
What's included with the mexico ROM? I'm assuming the barebones stock kernel.

like dirtbiker said, check if lte is enabled.
Make sure also you have the correct apns. Also depending on the rom, 4g may infact be lte fyi.
The fastest speeds I get on the 4.3 Roms are 6-7500kbps. My wife's HTC one with stock 4.1.2 is 21000-23000kbps

They are the same. Go to system/customize/ACC and edit the default.xml line where it says 'show_lte_for_4g' to true if you want it to say LTe, it doesn't really matter.

I already answered you in your second thread : New thread You didn't even answer... Don't just go around creating threads....
Flash this radio. It's the latest from Bell and Sasktel uses the same frequencies so you'll be fine. Download and then simply flash in recovery.
Afterwards, try this :
In phone press *#*#4636#*#*, then go to Phone Information, scroll down and you'll see "Set preferred network type:" , select "GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto".
Reboot phone
THIS REQUIRES THAT YOU HAVE S-OFF, if you don't, not my problem.
Hi there. Flashed the new radio. Switched to CDMA/LTE/gsm reboot. Ran speed test and only getting 4g speeds which are 3-5mbps down and 2mbps up. Ran same test on wife's none touched phone and got over 25mbps down and 20mbps up so not sure what else to do.
Do you have LTE speeds in your phone running that ROM.??
