I have read about skyrocket getting t mobile 4g service but i never got a clear answer to my question so far i get 3g service on at&t network using tmo galaxy s2 t989.
i am using the Jedi mind trick v8 ICS ROM
I have tried flashing an at&t modem once which did not work well. Please share your thoughts on this if you have succeeded in getting at&t 4g :fingers-crossed:

I don't think so, t989 is not lte by default, even it has 1700mhz. But if you can find a radio to enable it, that will be a different story.
It will never work on att lte. Doesn't have the hardware for it. It will say 3g but will have T-Mobile "4g" speed. 10+mbps

i have a feeling it is possible but not sure how to do it exactly because it has worked the other way with the right modem and kernel.
Did you read the thread? Ultimately, the thread proves that our phone doesn't have lte so we won't be able to connect to any lte network. However we do get h+ on att though... which can go up to 20+ mbps which is more than enough.

Oh and if i remember correctly. I think someone even took the two phones apart and the antennas are definitely different...
Now i just realize I've been on these threads for too long to remember what went on last year... time for a new phone

thanks for the help so i understand you can't get 4g lte but i can get 4g hspa+ but i have been only getting 3g so far. So could you please tell me which radio to flash and do i need to maually switch bands through service mode or any of that sorts of stuff. thanks in advance. I would be happy with hspa+ if i could get it to work. and wat apn setting should i use?
Before getting to the radios. The icons might say 3g but you're really getting 4g speed. Have you done any speed test? If you're getting below like 3mbps then you probably need to change radios. For some phones stock radios will work with att. But if it doesn't then go over to the skyrocket forum and choose a radio. There should be threads for it. You don't need to change kernels that has nothing to do with it. Only radios.

As for apn... I'm not sure on this but it might be automatically detected, if not the skyrocket forum could help you more. It's just the normal att apn.

I'm frustrated already, I bought an AT&T SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 and also purchased an unlock code, phone was working just fine with 4g on AT&T ( Tested ) but after unlocking I just don't get service when I use a T Mobile or Simple Mobile SIM.
On the About Phone -> Status I do get "Network: T-Mobile/Simple Mobile" ( Depending on the SIM I use ), but I don't even get EDGE, I cant make calls, I get the annoying emergency calls only, its making me crazy. Is there a way to fix this issue?
I am in Tucson Arizona, a city where T-Mobile has upgraded their GSM frequency.
( I already added the APN settings, but im sure I don't need that to make calls, or get EDGE, I don't know what else to do to fix this ).
Thanks
Does it still work on att?

Not trying to be an a$$ I rly do appreciate that you are taking your time helping me but on my first post is stated that I added the APN and that APN should not keep me from making calls.
The Note 2 uses a micro SIM, I trimmed my T Mobile SIM, this SIM still works on my HTC HD2, but its not working on the Note 2, is it possible that the phone is rejecting the SIM? does the Micro SIM has any kind of DATA that is not present on my trimmed SIM?
The phone works fine with an AT&T micro SIM but not with the T Mobile one( the phone is unlocked with a purchased code ).
Hi guys,
Maybe someone can answer this.
I just got a Note 2 model t889 and I live in Montreal. I found out that Rogers (my provider) uses the i317m model. Would this make a difference in my LTE speeds? The t-Moblie unlocked one I have now is only getting around 8mbps down and 1mbps up. When I switch my sim back to my iPhone and do the test, I get 35mbps down and 30mbps up. Is there anything I have to tweak to get it to LTE speeds?
Any help is appreciated.
The t999 don't have Lte yet. Even if they did turn it on I don't think it is compatible with Rogers Lte.

Some people claim that t mobile version has same hardware like att, just firmware disable/enable some frequencies. Roger version looks like att (as far lte is concerned). Theoretically seems like would be possible to flash firmware to make that phone fully compatible with rogers network. Check att note2 forums and you may be able find more informations

Hey guys!
I recently switched over to T-Mobile from Sprint. After looking at the data maps, it appears that I'm supposed to have a very strong signal/connection with LTE in my area. This isn't the case with my new GS4 however.
I get 1 bar at best and at times the signals get choppy. HSPA+ is strong, phone calls are clear, but LTE is lacking.
I know when I used my GS2 with Sprint they had things called modems that you could flash for varying connection performance. With the HTC EVO 4G, you could flash Radios.
Does the GS4 have anything similar to that effect? Do different ROMs have varying efficiency in terms of connectivity?
I'm just trying to optimize my connection. Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thank you!
On an interesting note - my IP is showing as Washington from T-Mobile even though I live in Denver..
I am having the same issue here in Texas. Sucks that there is no radio support and have alternate radios to flash.

No...its set on automatic. It wont hurt to try to force LTE. If it doesn't change anything he can put it back to automatic by dialing *#2263#.
Im in the same situation....kinda. But when I force LTE its all good.

You might have decent 4g connectivity. Try switching it to gsm/wcdma instead of lte/gsm/wcdma. When you have it set to auto, it will always try to connect to lte. You should get a pretty good download speed on gsm...

If I buy a straight talk sim I can use it in my att note 2 being its rooted & running a custom rom no? Can't I just change the apn's? Maybe the modem if I have to?
At&t phones will work on ST without unlocking or changing the modem. That's because ST rents the at&t network.
But you will have to change the APN.

Btw is incorrect. The correct way to use it is 'b.t.w.'. Sorry to be an acronym Nazi. O.b.t.w., 'Nazi' is a proper noun and needs capitalization. Once again, sorry for being a punctuation Nazi.

Hey guys....i just got my tmobile note and flashed darthstalker and jedi and i cant seem to get LTE on my device...anyone have any solutions....i came from note attt but traded for tmobile....when i had tmobile or att stock firmware i got lte but now that i installed either roms i am not seeing lte in and lte area......any help is appreciated.....both awesome roms though
Since this most likely has to do with the rom you are using maybe you might try asking in the Deathstalker thread?

Check the APN and maybe a search to go with it. Both roms work great, and both have full LTE, well at least in my town.

You didn't tell ATT that you switched phones did you? If you did and gave them the T-Mobile imei number that's why your not going to get lte. You need to give them a imei number from an att phone if you did give them your new imei from the tmobile phone. There's quite a bit of talk about this in the att working on tmobile thread.
