I believe one is for LTE and the other is HSPA+

Wap.Cingular is hspa+ only thing with this phone even switching to that apn its drops signal a lot I believe because it's continuously trying register on the network as lte.

People should really get out of the habit of using marketing catch-phrases with "G's" in them. There is no 3G or 4G. There is HSPA+ and there is LTE. GoPhone does NOT offer LTE service (yet), but you WILL get HSPA+ service.
Who is the video on hspa+ is like tmobile or faster

Video on 4g/HSPA+ is smooth and skip free depending on your area.

Are you sure you aren't looking for Straight Talk?

I work for AT&T, the largest Gophone data plan right now is 1GB. If you stuck a Gophone SIM in the N2, there's a chance the data wouldn't even work. I've heard this from many customers with various smartphones. Talk and text works but data doesn't. Not sure why. But as stated, no LTE for Gophones right now.

Is this 4g lte?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
No. But it's a good speed.
You can check by going into settings, about phone, status and see what network type says.

Correct. Not LTE, but fair speed for H+, arguably slightly faster than the typical 3G. You're getting the speed I used to get when I was on my SGSII (non-skyrocket) until I upgraded to the SGN2 with LTE here in San Diego.
Thanks. Its says im running LTE:14. So I guess the question now is why am I not getting lte speeds!?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Just ran another test, slightly faster speeds but you can see in the status bar it says 4g instead of h+.
Im running jellythunder perfect storm..which I thought h+ meant lte.
Ideas?

Ok. Than u are getting LTE. The rom u have just isn't showing show in your status bar.
Did u flash an international theme or something that may have caused this?

4G=LTE
H, H+ = HSPA (3.5G)
3G = UMTS
This means that when you are in LTE you won't see the LTE symbol but instead 4G.
Depending on the rom u are using of course. In order verify that your ROM is actually using LTE go System Settings --> About Device --> Status. Look under Mobile Network Type.

I am in a lte area and my status bar now says 4g which means lte. What are normal lte speeds? My last post was the speed test on the lte...that normal?
Thanks again!

No, this is what it would look like. Look in between the alarm clock and the signal strength meter.

LTE = faux G as far as I am concerned.
AT&T is still on 3G .. its just 3G+. According to what I have read, LTE (and WiMax) was originally a "transitional technology." Then it was upped to 4G and HSPA+ is now a a transitional tech. Then some1 dumped a lot of money into an offshore account and transitional tech is 4G.
Cue the nerd rage at this point.
LTE Advanced (as well as WiMax v2 or whatever they were going to call it.) are 4G. These are some way away. With big V saying LTE deployment going into 2015, one could guess we won't see "pure" 4G until almost 2020.
Edit: LTE is 100Mb/s down AND up. LTE adv is basically gigabit. As far as the original spec, 4G = gigabit. So .. we aren't quite there yet.

Well, the symbol at the top left says H+. So, no that not LTE, if it where it would say 4G.
But if its an international port than it says 4g, jedi states so in first post

haha .. nothing like downloading (theoretically) a DVD iso in under a minute.
I'd rather have the lower ping time and the lower bandwidth connection than the higher ping time and larger bandwidth connection.
The fact that your ping is so low makes me believe that you might be on LTE. But it could be an excellent 3G connection or whatever ATT likes to call it to make themselves feel superior. I've seen speeds that low however for LTE when the signal isn't very strong.

Gsm i9250m 4G on/off

i just got my Gnex...is there a way to turn off 4G ??...i dont see anything in the settings
That is because it is called 3g.
You want to check 2g under mobile network settings.

HSPA+ is an enhanced form of 3g. If you check to use 2g, that is what AT&T calls Edge service.

ok...thanks!...
Lol the 9250 doesn't have a 4g modem even though t-mobile & at&t market HSPA+ as 4G. 3G and HSPA are the same tech.

T-Mobile US vs T-Mobile US LTE

I'm wondering if epc.tmobile.com (T-Mobile US) is better or is fast.t-mobile.com (T-Mobile US LTE) better?
I'm in an area that gets the DC connection. Using the epc APN I get a download speed of 11662. When I tried the fast APN it dropped to 5726.

I think it may depend on your area? At work I only get HSPA+ so either option is the same for me since niether gets LTE.

This device doesn't support lte so there's no reason to use that apn. Besides, tmobiles hspa+ is about as fast and gives better battery life. As lte matures that will change, but for now it's true.

Cant send texts over LTE

Im using verizon jelly beans rom. Data works calls work everything except when on the lte network I cant send texts. Texts work over HSPA but not over LTE. Is it the apn? Any help thanks!

This is tmobile forum. I doubt you'll find much help here. I mean the rom you're using is for like the nemesis of gs m devices. So there are bound to be problems.
