Is there any roms that allow us to toggle lte off yet?

I don't think that thread really relates to what he was asking.
To my understanding, there are no working LTE toggles yet, the cloest you can get is a shortcut to your APN selector.

So i can just change the apn to run on hsdpa+ instead?
Yes or you can use the link I posted which is more or less a toggle, just hidden. I haven't tried this trick myself.
As for apn, I have used the hsdpa only one but it cut my hsdpa speeds in half when compared to the lte apn. Both tests were on hsdpa as I don't have lte locally.

I have been on HSPA+ only (despite strong LTE signal in my area) for a few days now with no issues whatsoever using this simple method already linked by corythug:

like the title says after i get it unlocked would it work just like a t-mobile gs3? or do they have different hardware
Different radios. It does not support AWS on T-Mobile.
Also use search next time.

There is a hack for the T-mobile Version So you can use it on At&t But I do not know of one for At&t. Here is the link to the directions on how to do that if you want to switch to t-mobile.

If they're in the refarmed area where they are using 1900MHz then yes it will work . But you're right, if they used search they would know this already.

Yes it will work, but not on HSPA+.

Not true. If they live where they did the re farming to the 1900 frequency then it will get h+

So, mostly, no.
Hello,
Does anyone have Simple Mobile and there 4G is working. Mine is not
Simple Mobile is on T-Mobile and P930 doesn't have AWS UMTS/HSPA bands. So you will never get 4G on Simple.

So is this the same for 3G as well? Also would straight talk be supported?
I believe Straight Talk has 2 options, a T-Mobile-based SIM and an AT&T-based SIM. You would choose an AT&T SIM and you would be able to enjoy 3.5G (HSPA+), but no LTE.

No, the hardware just doesn't support it. Its not a software fixable issue.

I probably would have to wait until T-Mobile update their bands, which probably will never happen. But in the meantime, I'll be switching to straight Talk. Is 3.5G fast in a sense?

I have used both, lte in one town, 4G (3.5g) in the other and per speedtest there is no difference in download speeds usually around 6mb per second, however a huge difference in upload speeds 1.5m in 4G and almost 6m in the lte area. Of course your mileage may vary

Hi there, please go to bell.ca/support and search apn settings, you will probably need to add Bells LTE settings to your phone.

Are you inside a building? Bell's LTE penetration is....enough said.
Did you get LTE with stock rom? If so it could be a setting in the rom somewhere. I also have troubles with LTE when in a building (if thats the case)
I've been outside a building and still don't get lte in the kitchener Guelph area where lte is supported I also changed the settings to gsm/lte but still never see 4G on the top

Just got the confirmation yesterday that Bell have issue with their LTE network.
Go on your network setting and select WCDMA ONLY if you are able...
This is what the tech told me for my LG and since yesterday got 1 drop connection and not 10 a day!!!

I'm on Virgin Mobile Canada (Bell) and was having issues getting 4G (LTE). I believe it was posted on the CM10 thread but I reposted this as someone else was asking the same thing, but if you can't get 4G working even with the correct APN, go to your dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*
This will take you to the phone testing menu. Tap Phone information, scroll down to the selectable list which may say CDMA or GSM/CDMA. Change that to LTE/GSM or LTE/GSM/CDMA and that should get it working again.
This worked for me on CM10, but AOKP should be close enough that this may help you out.
I'm on Att but the 9-8 build of aokp defaults to wcdma preferred on boot up..I know I live in an LTE area so what I did was *#*#4636#*#* then choose LTE only to force it into LTE coverage after that choose LTE/GSM/CDMA prl auto then or LTE should stick..for me if I chose LTE/GSM/CDMA first it would still default to wcdma...hope this helps...keep in mind you have to perform this after every reboot until its changed by task if it ever is in future builds.

Hmmm, that's interesting. On CM10, I don't need to change that on every reboot. Not even after a dirty flash. Just after a clean flash.
I had the same problem on rogers in Vancouver also running cm10 make sure you change your APN to the lte version also where it says APN type I put default. Another thing that may confuse you is that there is no lte icon on cm10 it says 4g instead

Also what might help is don't keep to many APN stored delete all except the lte and the lte tethering one. My phone was also switching to the regular APN on booting it up

Not getting LTE? Check your APN Settings
Hi Guys, if you are having issues with your LTE, check your APN Settings here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434995

Are your phones connecting to the same network frequencies / APNs / whatever?
I'd rather get one bar of LTE signal than four bars of UMTS signal...
Which modem are you running? Try a different one.

I have Note ii and yesterday updated to 4.1.2. I thought that the APN setting intact as Simple Mobile setting, and I kept using it untill now. Then I found out that I am using T-Mobile LTE APN Setting, which they worked fine. and even more the internet speed is 14mbs. even even more I have test the MMS and it does work too. I am waiting for t-mobile to switch LTE so I can check the speed. that will be awesome. btw I am from Houston, TX.

Are you sure you're using the T-Mobile LTE APN? I'm pretty sure the standard connectivity speed for T-Mobile is 14 Mbps. Any incorrect or unknown APN will also be routed directly to the network's default, so it would help to know exactly which setting you are using.
Thanks!
so whats the APN setting for the LTE?

Did you change the Protocol to IPv4/IPv6, or it came like that? I've heard that Note 2 comes with IPv4 selected by default.

Unfortunately that's just Dual HSPA+
You will see "4G LTE" instead of just "4G" on the top of your notification when it's enabled in your area. I'm keeping my fingers crossed also. When LTE is working you will also see a big difference with your upload speed as well.

fast.t-mobile.com ... My Note 2 updated itself yesterday and changed the APN to that. I have not been able to check it yet because I am on Simple Mobile and they turned off my data today for "violation of terms" [again]. When I stream outbound video they do that automatically. I do it on purpose just to piss them off ... right before my prepaid renewal of the 22nd of the month tomorrow. Will be anxious to see if Simple is given the LTE network too. Will find out tomorrow LOL
Lol... they reset your data without issue when you pay?
What was the old apn? Maybe that will improve our speeds the new update slowed down.

How much has the speed increased by the LTE thing? Like before and after updating APN thing.
