On T-Mobile USA, I seem to be limited to HSPA, not LTE. Should I turn off LTE Cat 6? I should be getting LTE where I am

I am looking into this question of the att note getting lte speeds on t-mobile once their lte is launched on the 1700 aws band -- after t-mobile refarms their 3g/4g to the 1900 band they won from att in the buy out fiasco.
The att i717 note uses the 700/1700 bands for lte on att service.
The tmobile note uses the 1700 band for wcdma (hspa 42?) - not lte on tmo's service.
When all is said and done, will the att note running on tmobile's network get the lte speeds on the reconfigured 1700 band?? :fingers-crossed:
Sounds logical, but my logic does not match my technical knowledge, which is not so great.:silly:
I know this has been talked about in a lot of threads but for some reason I can't wrap my head around it. Let me write down what I understand to be the compatibility and what is not, then please correct me where/if I'm wrong.
T-mo uses the 1700MHz and 2100MHz in conjunction (1700 to send data, 2100 to receive) for their 3G/4G network and plan on the same for their 4G LTE networks.
They are refarming their 1900MHz (currently 2G) to support 3G/4G, but not 4G LTE. The refarmed map is very limited. http://www.airportal.de/
Given the above, the One Dev Edition will be able to get 4G, if in a refarmed area, but once you travel outside you're down to Edge or 2g. Dev Edition will also not be able to get 4G LTE, as that will use the 1700/2100 combo.
I may be saying the same thing you are and if so I apologize.
I believe (and will stand corrected if I am wrong) that currently TMO is using 1700/2100 for their HSPA (3G/4G) network and are in the process of migrating HSPA to 1900.
The One will not operate HSPA on the 1700/2100 system but will work fine on 1900 system so in areas where they've converted to 1900 you'll get 3G/4G otherwise you'll be stuck on 2G (assuming that LTE is not available, which it most likely wouldn't as TMO needs the 1700/2100 for LTE.
The One will operate on LTE in 1700/2100 which is what TMO is intending to do with that system.
I hope that helps.

How is this possible? I thought they ran on different bands..
Are you not in a sprint LTE area?
When I roam only on Sprint and go to a sprint LTE area, my 1x will be Verizon, but data is LTE from sprint. Signal checker will show VZW 1X, sprint LTE
I just got an unlocked code for my samsung galaxy note 4 t-mobile and I'm wondering if I could use it on verizon network?
No
Voice frequency share the 1900mhz band, 3G share the 1900mhz band, 4G share the 1700/2100mhz band, and 4G LTE are compatible bands as per: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_frequencies so I don't see why not? I have put Verizon 4G LTE devices onto T-Mobile's carrier before via APN settings so I don't see how its not backwards compatible?
did you try it?

verizon by default does voice over CDMA. you do not have a CDMA radio. end.

Sent from my: SM-N910T / SQC100-4 with Tapatalk : PIN 2BFBBCE3: T-Mobile 4G LTE
The description says the phone uses the following bands:
3G UMTS bands: 850/900/ AWS/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps (B5/B8/B4/B2/B1)
4G LTE bands:700/AWS/1900MHz (B17/B4/B2),
I'm looking to use this phone with Cricket, or other similar carriers such as MetroPCS in Jacksonville, Florida.
Before I purchase I can't seem to determine if this phone is compatible with those carriers and will achieve LTE/4G /3G reception. It's important that mostly 4G/LTE is possible as I get signal drops in my area without those bands.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
Google says yes.
