Is this 4g lte? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

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.

Example

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.

Probably just the area. My HSpa+ speeds are so erratic lately.. sometimes I only get like 50kb per sec its horrible.. att needs to step it up and upgrade the network.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
Some ROMs take away 4g.. I don't know about the ROM you're currently on, but mine has said I have 4G when I was really limited to 3G. I know this isn't much help, but I've had similar encounters and it was the ROM I was running.

Just wondering for those with good speeds, which baseband are you running? I'm on I747UCLH9. And I hadn't had high download speeds since I flashed it.

So we all have weak signal?

I went to 3 sprint stores and looked at a few YouTube videos and every OG had low or no signal bars.
What are most of you guys getting as for as bars? I'm at a great Sprint coverage area and most my other phones are a full bars.
Unfortunately it sounds like a hardware issue. It's probably something I have to live with because I really do like this phone.
Just a note, my LTE works just fine.

Lets be clear here cause a few at the sprint store were confused the signal bar is actually blue and not the grey. So when you say you usually have full bars are those blue bars?

Yea the signal strength is defined by how many blue bars you have. You will always have grey bars unless there is absolutely no signal which will result in a red x

That is true. It works differently when you have 4g. Every time I have 4g I have no blue bars. I wonder why its like that

Wow I switched my network settings from CDMA/LTE to CDMA only and BAM!! Full bars.
Some how the 4g is interfering with the signal.

No 4g does not display signal traditionally so you might have bars when near a tower but most of the time it will not display any.

My signal is generally quite strong and compared to my Epic and photon my reception in buildings is much better. I usually have 4-6 bars.

I have found with my phone and other customer's OG, that switching it from LTE/CDMA (If you don't have LTE) to CDMA greatly helps. I have no LTE around here and have it on CDMA only and can't complain at all.

Got to "system settings" then "more" then "mobile network" and check off CDMA instead of LTE/CDMA.

I'm in phoenix. and those results look a whole lot more like HSPA+ to me. biggest indication of LTE right now is insanely fast (10+mbps) upload speeds.
no LTE for me here in east phoenix yet. but i'm in a marginal signal area.
I'm in West Phoenix/Glendale area. I've not seen LTE over here either.

You can grab Phone Info and set your radio to LTE Only. If you still have data, then you are not 'trippin' and have an LTE connection.
What is your speed though? I'm getting pretty good speeds here in the D.C area.
It was only on for a bit, my speeds were no where near what you got.
