hi guys! i recently purchase a slightly used S3 i747 originally att. i came from an iphone 4S and still have my iphone unlimited data plan. i have noticed that im only getting 3g and h speeds. how do i get the 4g lte speeds? do i need to call att CS to get my plan changed or do i just change my apn setttings? Im rooted and has ktoonz rom. also noticed that i have the correct apn settings. tried to choose 4G LTE but i dont get data when i select it.
Thanks in advance.
not to sound condescending, but
1.) check imei (in the dialer *#06#) to ensure it is valid
2.) looks like you are in Montaray, there is no LTE coverage there per AT&T's map. doesnt look too far away though.
hope this helps
You might not be able to get LTE without a new sim card. I was reading somewhere that the iPhone sims don't work properly with LTE and will only allow HSPA+. I forget where I read this, so I could be wrong.
Sounds like a SIM problem, plus not being in an LTE area. I came from an iPhone 4 and had to change SIM's for the Note but asked to keep the microSIM in case I wanted to go back.
You need to get your plan changed. Call AT&T. You do NOT have to loose your unlimted though. I did the same thing, and got no 4g until I did that ( assuming it's in your area at all ).
I switched from a GS2 (3G) to a GS3 and all I had to do was walk into an AT&T store to tell them my situation. They set me up free of charge with my "unlimited" grandfathered data plan. Note: you can use up to 5gb before getting throttled by At&t with the updated 4g plan!

This guy has it. Be sure to thank him. ATT can differentiate speeds based on your plan, and the iphone has no LTE so they aren't allowed access to the network.
What everyone said is correct. I work for an AT&T so I deal with the same stuff. First off check if you have LTE coverage in your area. Most areas are still red for LTE. Nearest to me is Baton Rouge in Louisiana. I got 60MB/S while on it compaired to an Iphone who got 4 hahahaha .
Second check AT&T and see if your IMEI is set to the s3. If you still have the iphone imei on your account iphone data is only 3g.
Third (optional) replace your sim card. Most sim cards right now are 3g and aren't compatible with the LTE network. Sim cards are like a penny to replace at a corporate AT&T.
Hope this helps and goodluck. I hope you guys get a taste of the LTE network its sickening. Everything loads soo fast.
What was said earlier above also is true. Your unlimited data stays with you. Don't let someone tell you else wise. Once you lose unlimited data you can not get it back. I had a customer accidentally get rid of theirs and it was HELL to get it back for them and countless arguments on customer support.

call the CS they changed my provision from iphone plan to 4g lte plan. payments will be the same. they also told me that i need to to to my local att store to get a new 4g lte sim.
thanks for all the replies. took care of it by getting a new sim and changing my data provisions.

Good to hear it, OP. And yep, I had the same issue coming from a 4S to the S3 and the advice above is correct. I'm still a grandfathered unlimited user (although I don't have LTE in my area yet). BTW, the best thing about this? What TBayTom noted...that you now get a 5gb cap since you're on a LTE plan (as opposed to 3gb if you're not). :good:

When AT&T runs my HOX IMEI through their system, they tell me it isn't eligible for HSPA+ 4g plan, so i'm stuck on a normal 3g plan.
What bothers me most, is that i previously had the HSDPPB (Unlimited HSPA+ 4g) plan on this phone, before i gave it to my girlfriend.
They tell me that the unlimited plans are less IMEI sensetive than their non-unlimited counterparts.
Has anyone else experienced this?
I'm on att. While we're not eligible for lte, they gave me no arguments about my data plan.

Keep trying, explain that you've noticed that your phone is constantly hitting a cap in speeds.
If you can use the Phone APN though, stop worrying because that's the only thing you need to access for HSPA+.
When I took my phone in to get a SIM, the guy just gave me the SIM. I was already on the LTE plan, but he said he needed to change it to the LTE plan. (He assumed it was the AT&T One X I guess.

If you just cut your full size SIM or got a micro SIM from an AT&T store you shouldn't have needed to change your plan. AT&T offers three types of data plans: 1) 3G (MediaNET APN), 2) 4G ("Phone" APN), and 3) 4G LTE. The s/n of your SIM is added to your account so that when you connect to the network the right APN settings are utilized by the SIM. Both one and two deliver the same speeds (HSPA+). The difference between a 3G and 4G plan are the servers you're routed through. The 4G servers are what AT&T uses to throttle people who've reach their soft cap. The 3G plan has no soft cap. A lot of us are using the data for Non-Smartphone's plan (3G) for $10 a month because AT&T isn't reading the One X's IMEI as a smartphone. My international 3G G-Note 10.1 is on my plan as a second “dumb” phone also for $10 a month because AT&T isn’t reading its IMEI either.
Thanks for this clarification BarryH,
based on your distinction b/w regular 3g and 4g (3g+) plans, i don't think i'll waste any more time fighting with AT&T over this.

The Phone APN also allows speeds faster than 7.5 Mbps as ATT caps Wap.cingular to to lower speeds.

I got the SIM card replaced this weekend ... APN settings are OK ... LTE enabled in Settings --> More --> Mobile networks --> Network mode.
It's not a question of coverage as my GF's iPhone 5 gets full LTE whereas mine says H+ when placed next to one another.
Only thing I did to the phone is to root it via the "No tripping flash counter" method and have TWRP recovery installed.
Any hint ??
do you have a LTE sim card?

Yes!
I had one, the tech at the Bell store replaced it with a new one just in case it was defective... still no LTE.
I know may be silly, but my two cents, is your plan LTE enabled? certain plans with data are note "LTE" ready.. at least that goes for my Fido network.
True that I'm on some grandfathered plan... I'll probably have to check this out.
I'll wait for JB to come out first as I want to return the phone to a totally stock state first.
I'll do some further testing on a stock ROM.
When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth!

^^^this. if your plan is a bit older it is more than likley not LTE ready. I had to change my plan on rogers when I got my S3, update to LTE..didnt cost me anything extra but I upgraded the plan anyway.
how old is your grandfathered plan? anything more than a couple years and that is more than likely your issue.
Wasn't silly at all after all!
Just got off the phone with, first a tech and then retention...
The tech confirmed to me that my good ol' unlimited data plan is, as expected, not LTE ready. héhéhé
She proposed to transfer me to customer service, which I denied and asked to be transfered to retention instead.
The retention guy gave me the 6Go/month for 30$ promo that's not available anymore without having to argue with him.
All in all, good service ... too bad I lost my unlimited data plan, but 6Go/month is more than enough for me.

If you had any other data plan I was gonna say you could just ask the tech rep to add the lte provisioning code to your account and you'd be good to go.
The problem you actually would have encountered if you did that though is that no unlimited data plans (consumer or corporate) are able to be provisioned with lte. 6gb is the best plan out for you with lte though, hope its worth it. Personally I'd take unlimited.
Didn't know they could add the provisioning code to make the plan LTE enabled on an individual basis but, then again, I'm happy with the 6Gb plan.
By the contract terms, I couldn't tether the unlimited data plan whereas I can with the 6Gb one ... and I need to tether quite often!
You sure its not Telus, Bell sucky LTE Coverage? I live in Toronto, I just bought the Gs3 I get Lte downtown but as soon as i'm in the Weston rd and finch only 4g....at work in Dairy Rd and 427 only 4g I hardly ever see LTE icon....so disappointing as speeds are amazing on LTE but I never see them.
I want to switch from an iPhone 4S to the note II (international or at&t) by swapping sim cards. Can this be done with data working? I tried it with a galaxy sII skyrocket LTE, and data did not work at all. I expected at least 3G and HSDPA+.
Talked to AT&T and they said I have to change the data plan. But google searches have revealed that I should be able to switch without calling them and at least get 3G/HSDPA data.
Anyone have any insight?

you can get 3g but you won't get lte since the 4S isn't LTE. You just need the correct APNs. Try wap.cingular, or phone. I stopped changing my plan cause I switched too often and hated all the stupid prorations

I'm not understanding your goal. I had an unlimited data plan for my iPhone $30/mo. When I upgraded my phone to SGN2, I now have the data plan for LTE unlimited at $30/mo as a grandfathered data plan.
Of couse this plan is acually throttled now (after 5GB?), but it is, what it is. Same Family phone plan, same price, similar data plan, same price.

I need to do it without changing the plan. I think we have the answer though... change the APN. I will update when I get a chance to try it,
Changing the APN worked. Got HSDPA+. AT&T lied to me, not suprisingly.
Guess I might as well buy the international note II, since I wont be using LTE, unless there is some other advantage to the AT&T note II?
Not really. Just an fyi, if you switch off ios make sure to turn off I message or your friends will see blue before green

also even though u are on an unlimited plan my understanding is they will throttle u after a certain ammount.
If it was my money, I wouldn't be using AT&T.
As you've already experienced, AT&T reps are under no obligation to tell you the truth, time and time again. I've swapped my sim between many 3g phones with nary a phone call over the years.
I think the only advantage to getting an AT&T Note 2 is when you migrate to an unlimited LTE plan, you get throttled at 5 gigs instead of 3.
Otherwise, stick with what ya got and stick it to the man!

Not sure if my work around means much to you... but I had a iPhone 4S and got into a Note II and was able to keep my Grandfathered Data plan.
How I did it...
My phone being a 4S was not eligible for an upgrade but my wife's iPhone 4 was. So I used her upgrade to get the Note II and had AT&T do a crossover on the lines. So now my wife has my 4S and I have the Note 2 with the same data packages.
The downside at first was the swap caused our texting plans to dissolve, but in the end AT&T was able to offer me a better deal with unlimited texting and cell calls for $20 less a month. Not sure if it was just the tech guy who was able to swing the offer as they have a bit more power to make the customer happy over sales.
I had found out I had no texting after the fact and support hooked me up with all sorts of goodies and was the one who highlighted how I could save some cash.
Reps like to lie. They can't force you off the grandfathered data... I just upgraded again and kept my data No need to jump through hoops. Just double check after they are done .
I also was able to keep my unlimited data plan from my iPhone when I upgraded to the Note 2 (which will be here tomorrow, woot!).

I don't understand why AT&T doesn't just declare an end to grandfathered unlimited data, rather than officially continuing to support it while often denying it unless the customer puts up a fight. Is AT&T legally forced for some reason to continue the grandfathered plans?

Well once you sign a contract I don't think they can change your plan without giving you an early out option. When you aren't under contract anymore I guess they figure you may leave if they don't let you keep it so they grandfather you into another two years with unlimited data...just a guess and I could be wrong.
I have transferred my AT&T Unlimited Data Plan from several phones. Sometimes I was told I could not keep the unlimited plan if I wanted LTE, but I asked to speak with a supervisor and it always got resolved. Most recently I transferred my SIM card from an international Galaxy S3 to the Galaxy Note 2 (AT&T version) and beforehand checked to be sure I could keep my unlimited data plan. I was and the transfer was uneventful and everything continues to work great.
I did exactly what you want with no problems. You probably just talked to a bad representative.

Thank-you to all of you who shared your experience. I can hardly control my urge to dump my iPhone 4S in favor of the Note II. Obviously, I am in the same boat like many of you.

I made this exact switch, and had zero problems whatsoever. In fact, my eyes widened when the rep told me that I would keep my unlimited plan, and she laughed and told me that that is the policy. I thought for sure that I was going to lose it.
Sprint now offers 4g lte in my area and really would like to have unlimited data again. Verizon put me on 4gb data plan on which I now pay more and go through the data in no time. The largest and most reliable network is useless when you can't use it. So I'm going the Sprint unlimited data plan. Is there anything I should know about before switching our a reason as to why I would regret the switch? Im bringing my unlocked note 2.

If 4g is available in your area, I would say go for it! Sprint is actually a great provider.
Unless you have issue with VZ in your area and using more than the standard data cap, I would not suggest go to sprint at this ponit. (long time sprint user).
They are currently in the network transition and got so many crazy call-drop, data drop signal.
If no compelling reason, no need to switch.
Go for it. I did the same thing as u. Left Verizon wjen sprint got LTE in my area. Speeds are great and the devices have unlocked bootloader unlike Verizon that locks everything.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I would see how other sprint users like the service in your area. I'm in an area with LTE. I don't see nothing like Verzion's speeds, but it's still pretty good to get the highest bandrates for the services. You'll want to see if there are dead signal pockets in the area you frequent and so forth.
The service can be frustrating when they're working on the network. You'll see anything from really good bandwidth to can't get a connection. There was a good month where LTE was slower than 3G.
I like Sprint and have been with them for over ten years. They're not perfect, but still the quirks of Sprint, usually, don't bother me.
I had Verizon 4G then they did away with unlimited, now I have Sprint 3G
I'd rather have Sprint 3G unlimited than Verizon 4G limited.
I'm done with verizon and their phone lockdown policies as well. It's my phone I paid for I should be able to do with it as I will.
Verizon is the best service I have had to date; that's customer, call, and data. Only problem is that all that comes at a premium price. But if you have a good deal, a grandfathered plan, or can afford it, by all means stay with the best.
As for Sprint, they have been the very worse for me. Only good thing about them is unlimited data but even considering that, their data suck in my area. Customer service reps arent that bad but the company will gouge you at every opportinity. For me, they extended my contract without notifying me and when I went to change providers they told me I had to pay etf. Worse part about it, they said id have to get a court order to see where I agreed to contract extension. STAY AWAY FROM SPRINT!
Your unlocked Verizon Note 2 can't be activated on Sprint. If you can verify that Sprint has good 3G & LTE service where you live then I'd say definetely go for it because Sprint will not have unlimited data forever. If you wanr to save a lot of $$$ each month and you can tolerate the data problems in some places, then go for it. But you might want to wait till the Note 3 is released. That would be the time to switch.
Why can't my unlock note 2 be activated on Sprint?
CDMA phones are not locked in the same way GSM phones are. Sprint and Verizon limit the phones carrier use by their ESN. Your Verizon phone's ESN is not listed in the Sprint database. Therefore it cannot be activated on Sprint.

Have a great day!
So I am currently on simple and I have been on 4.3 for a while. I regret not being in t mobiles good graces because I would love to have lte. But tonight I did a factory reset. When it booted back up I notices that the 4G icon now says 4G lte. It never said that before. Now I usually get between 5 and 10 mbps down and 1 to 5 up. About the same as.tmobile. which makes sense because simple uses tmo towers. But after I noticed the new icon I did a test and I am now getting average 35mbps down and 14 up. And it is snowing here usually when it snows my data speeds go way down not up. Does anyone know ow if simple launched an lte network? I dont. See anything about it anywhere.
Newer mind I just found an article that confirmed it 5 hey did start lte on the 50 and 60$ plans. Yay.

I Google "news about simple mobile and lte" and it came up I think the second one. But it seems that anywhere tmo has lte so does simple now. Keep in mind it is only on their $50 and $60 plans. But if you are like me you will need the 60 plan after coming from tmo unlimited data 5 gigs just socks but hey. Also when simple throttles you they pull all the way back on that throttle. In the article it says after data cap you will be throttled.to 256k I was hopping that we would go to at least hspa speeds but I guess not.

Oh i already know about the throttles and i can get by on the $50 3 gig plan. Every MVNO throttles after you reach a certain amount. Straight Talk only gives 2.5 gigs and then throttle to 120 kbps, so the 256kbps is the fastest speed throttle you'll find on any prepaid. 256k is still fast enough to check FB, Twitter, email ect. Just not for streaming, which i never do unless on wifi. I have wifi access just about everywhere i go, so i think i should be fine.
MetroPCS would be good
Another thing i wanna add. You said you're on the $60 Simple Mobile plan? You should switch to MetroPCS. They just went nationwide with their LTE. They use T-mobile as well, and their unlimited LTE plan is $60 a month.
So wait metro is like simple. You can use tmo towers or sprint or verison? I wish I knew that. I might have to switch. Thanks for the info.

Metro is only T-Mobile towers. T-Mobile bought out Metro for their spectrum, but instead of getting rid of Metro they decided to keep it as another MVNO, except Metro gets everything T-Mobile customers get. You just save $10/month on the bill. Only difference.
Thanks - been a Simple Mobile User for awhile, but Metro PCS is worth looking into
I thought MetroPCS was on CDMA so I never looked at them, but they just opened a store here so I think I will check them out if the. Back in the day Simple was truly unlimited---not so much these days.
Update: I just looked at their phone FAQ and it doesn't look like you can BYOP with MetroPCS. (does anybody know differently?) All of their phones are locked down with Secure Lock so if you flash unauthorized firmware the phone won't work. This doesn't look so attractive to me now.
As soon as I saw that I could use metro I checked it out. They do have byop and it says pretty much any unlocked gsm phone. I want to go to a metro store to look further. But if they have true unlimited data. Or 5 gigs of lte and then trotted back to hspa or hspa+ I could live with that.
You cna bring any gsm phone

It's truly unlimited man. No throttles. I have a friend on metro that uses around 20 gigs a month, all LTE, no throttles. He streams Netflix with his phone.
The only time his phone is ever on HSPA or HSPA+ is if he's in an area where that's all that's available. Because where we live the entire area is covered in HSPA+, but only about 90% is covered in LTE.
