I am trying to figure out the right combination of files to flash in order to get the vs980 to work on tmobile, pref with android 4.4.2 since both phones are now updated to that version of android if you can provide any instructions of help that would be really awesome. If you have your phone running on tmob would you mind also answering the few questions below?
are you using a Verizon or Tmobile: Rom, Modem, Recovery, Kernel? I want to experiment but dont want to hose my phone and want to know specifically what part is the key in getting this to work on tmob
Just put your Sim card in , it's an unlocked phone , set up T-Mobile APN to use T-Mobile internet. Switch to global mode for 4glte. I'm currently on T-Mobile stock 4.4.2

Just putting APN from the T-Mobile site didn't solve my LTE problems. Haven't been able to use the net at all with just putting the card in. I am in Global mode. Could someone post proper APN info for the T-Mobile service?

I have vs980 and had a hard time getting T-Mobile to work properly on 24a.. Now I'm on newest omni ROM 4.4.4 and flashed 12b radio and get LTE,and 3g and edge..but it didn't work until I flashed 12b modem, which is really odd because It worked on straight talk with T-Mobile network, .

Hey fugazzi, I tried the new APN and changed global and it still says 3g/HSPA+. Is there anything else I need to do? I also get the sim card ? mark icon in the notification.

on your network type, is it now showing T-Mobile? under mobile networks>network type and strength, you can do an automatic network search and then choose t-mobile when it appears. also, check and see if your area has 4g/lte support, the verizon lg g2 only has the 2100 lte band in common with t-mobile and not the 1700 band.

It says t-mobile in the lock screen but under network type and strength it just says 3g-75dBm. Also, in this screen I can't select anything or go to any menu. I'm in Oakland, CA so I assumed I have lte. I read an article saying my city is refarmed 1900 to HSPA+. I guess that's supposed to be 4g and not lte?
How'd you get that ? mark icon in the notification to go away?
Thanks.

as far as I know, the 1700/2100 bands are the lte's, it looks like your area is H+ at best running the 1900 band. I could be wrong, but double check with T-mobile to make sure.
here's the info from t-mobile, http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4988
which ? mark do you mean?
bringing a dead thread back to life because I'm happy. I live in Tipp City, Ohio, by no means a big city like LA and I am getting everything. LTE, H+, 3G, call and text. Paranoid Android 4.4.4 beta 5. Works like a charm.
Hey guys so I am on tmobile on the vs980 and I would like to flash a custom Rom but I had to downgrade the phone with LG flash tools to get data to work on the phone. I am fairly knowledgeable when it comes to flashing roms and such but when I use the autorec app and flash twrp and then flash a Rom like say cm11 or color is 4.2.2 it will eaithier bootloop or show the LG symbol and then go to a black screen any help would be great thanks

Just got my Note straight from the UK, unlocked. Been on the phone with ATT about 6 times. I can send and recieve calls, texts - but no DATA. They can't seem to figure out why it will not pick up the ATT Data Network. Sim, EIN all linked, but no joy.
I am a noob, sorry - any ideas. I hate to send the phone back.
Any ideas ?
Update - Funk2641's response below (no APN was entered) - fixed it the issue.
Still, ATT would not give me a 4G smartphone plan - even though the H+ shows up next to the clock ? Initial Speedtests look like the same as my Infuse, Atrix and 4S.
Thanks everybody (Funk2641) for your help ! I hope this thread saves some agony for many as this phone is hitting the states. Don't know if I will tread in Eurospec for the Nexus, as I will want to hold that one in my hand first.
Also, this is a great phone - speed, battery life and the screen is fantastic !

I will follow this thread since I will also switch from T-mobile to AT&T.
I too have the same issues. I actually used a few different apns and got edge to work poorly, I sighed and told myself ICS would fix it all up better and to just enjoy the extra battery life of 2g now, God I hope a get this cleared up

Technically, the Note is just a big SGS2. There's no reason on the phone side you should be having a problem using the Cingular APN. I'm using a ISGS2 and a UK 3G Tab 10.1 on AT&T with no problem. It's either something with the provisioning of your account or your Note may not have the right bands (Asian?). The latter is unlikely if you ordered it from the UK. Try reseting the APN to default under network settings. Also, if you're on a legit 4G plan there's a specific APN that you can find on the ASGS2 forum.
Here is another APN that works, I had the same issue
For APN settings use the name ATT and then for APN the word phone. Leave everything else blank-what is needed will get filled in automatically. Click the APN when you finish adding it and the radio button turns green to indicate it is working. The advantage to this APN setting is it gives you clear access and data speeds are not limited by ATT.
Those apns didn't work and I too a would doubt my phone bring the Asian version,.this version of gingerbread has the option to suspend my data network from holding down the power button maybe the software isn't...... I don't know I have no clue but my apns are normal but when's search they don't come up
In the list automatically so something a wrong
and I came from a hspa+ phone so my plan is already to go, I called to double check
to op, glad you got it straightened out...who did you order from and how much?

What plans are you guys, please?
(Anyone on month to month $50 unlimited?
There are two different APNs to use depending on what data plan you're on. If you're using a MediaNet or Data for non-Smartphones plan (3G) you need to use the Cingular APN. If you're on a legit 4G plan you need to use the special APN for 4G phones. If you reverse it, you'll get no data. For those of you on the 4G plan, go in to the APN settings. When you press menu, there's a reset to default option. It should pull the 4G settings down automatically. If you're on a 3G plan don't do this and instead manually enter the below settings. If you do this correctly you should get data. If you have a quad-band phone and still can't get data it's something with your account settings and not the h/w.

Hey guys,
I switched over to Virgin yesterday on the "Gold" plan for 60$/month. (I don't see the word "LTE" anywhere on my account.. is that an issue?)
Brought in my own phone the i9305.
I live in Ottawa, however I can not get LTE for the life of me. Even traveled well around the city today, and no LTE just HSPA.
SIM card is red with white LTE lettering on it.

(tried Virgin's mobile settings, however I can't send MMS with Virgin APN settings)
phone is obviously unlocked.
The only thing I can think of is that the 2600 Mhz lte band hasn't been deployed yet in Ottawa, so my phone can't pick it up, until that switch is made over. Thoughts? I AM living in the coverage area where the 150 mbps service is being offered.
We can't help you in this forum...you need to post in the i9305 q&a

Weird issue but it's a small chance that is a modem / CSC related. If you have root access, than reboot into recovery and use this https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qnj68mzs8h3rhk6/qZESHfTord. It'll change your CSC to BMC, is a Canadian Bell HD VOICE should be enabled as well
If this doesn't help, try to change modem...
Thanks for the reply. I reprovisioned the account, changed a new LTE sim, and flashed the HD voice options (you took care of that for me in your thread, thanks)
Still no LTE.
Will try some modems tonight.
A question no one can answer (virgin tech support, or their techs ) does the bell (virgin) lte frequency support this phone, on lte .
Thanks guys.

Tried a bunch of modems, and no LTE.
Grr..... Tech support knows nothing. They can't even say does bell/virgin currently have the 2600 lte frequency activated?
Just an update on this:
Heres what I figured out after A LOT of research!
Rogers/Fido LTE band is on 2600 mhz plus another band. LTE works stock on the i9305, in Ottawa, Toronto, and wherever there is coverage.
Bell/Virgin LTE band is 1700 and they are rolling out on a new frequency 2600. LTE works on this band (2600) with the i9305. I have to be with Virgin so that it works at the cottage.So if you are with Bell/Virgin LTE will work in Toronto(verified), (maybe Montreal). and not in Ottawa because they havn't rolled out that frequency yet.
I was in Montreal in Feb/March and LTE didn't work with Virgin at the time.
How can I fix it I am running stock KitKat, with TWRP 2.7.1.0.
EDIT: I fixed it, I think it was a bad ip address for proxy.

I just switched from Verizon to T-Mobile this week with my VS980.
I've been able to get the phone setup and working mostly.
I'm picking up LTE, but it's slowish. Usually only picking up 1 or 2 bars and tot more than 12 mbps down/1 mbps up according to Speedtest, though that might just be my area. I'm in a larger city but still in the Midwest.I can make/receive calls just fine. I can send and receive MOST texts. Some text messages/calls I'm not receiving. Specifically, I have my online bank account setup to require a code which the bank sends via text message or call and my phone does not receive either, even though I'm getting texts/calls from other sources. This is actually kind of a big pain for me and if anyone could help me solve it I would be most appreciative.
I'm running CM 11 nightly. I did flash the 12b radio. I haven't tried the 24A radio yet.
Preferred Network is T-Mobile, although I've had the phone search networks a couple different times and there is always 3 T-Mobile networks listed and I'm really not sure if there is a difference or if there is a specific one I should be selecting since there is no way to differentiate them.
