For some reason when I load the 1115 PRL I only get 3g speeds for about 1/2 an hour, then it goes back to 1x. I have tried reloading a couple of different times and still the same thing. I use roam control to switch over to Verizon and that works just dandy, but no 3g speeds. Its the weirdest thing, anyone else have the same issues?
i have same exact problem i am on 1x all the time after 11115 prl
will wait for answer otherwise going to take it back to sprint let them fix it..
Maybe the area ur in doesn't have 3g on vz? I know there's one area I go to that there's barely a vz signal with 1x

1115 only gives 3 g in 5 states. I'm not sure which ones. Chances are 1115 will have no effect for you. If you want 3g you need to use 0001 otherwise your stuck on 1x

Also there is an app in the market called netmonitor it will tell you what if you are roaming.
If the "carrier " says sprint , your not roaming.
It also says the network type you are on.

Man what the hell I'm totally jelous...
Try out roam control. It's been mentioned in these forums before and it works great. Unfortunately it's not on the market anymore but you can buy it directly from the developers website. I use it at work where I get hardly any sprint service and it roams on 3G perfectly. It also helps out my battery because the phone isn't constantly trying to switch from roaming to local. I think the site is roamctrl.com.
I use Roam Control in Atlanta and it works great and I do indeed receive Verizon 3G on my phone. But Roam Control can't magically give you 3G if it's just not available on PRL 11115 in your area. I would try a different PRL but please be wary of roaming all the time. Sprint will eventually be very upset with you.

Can anyone else confirm whether or not this is true? 3g with prl 1115 only works in 5 states?
Use the search button or try it yourself.
It's not hard to load a pro,
Netmonitor will tell you if your roaming and if you have 3g

It works in Houston, Texas area. When my discount with Sprint was through Dish Network all my devices would have the business PRLs. I found a way to change my discount from 16% to 20% by creating a AOL email. Anyway since doing that I no longer get the business PRLs. Not worth the 4%, since I no longer work with Dish Network I am stuck with this AOL discount

Yeah, nothing official on that site, but they really seem to know what's going on. They're projecting an August/September timeframe for the LTE to come on around Chicago which makes me happy. I'm going to have a hard time waiting with just 3G as it's horrid around this area, but hopefully they'll start getting it together soon.

Looks like the Detroit area is getting left out of the fun again. First no wimax, now its looking like we're not invited to the lte party either... What is their obsession with the Grand Rapids area? Is there a corporate headquarters there or something? On the bright side, I'll at least get a good signal when I go out that way to my cottage during the summer!

Is lte like Wimax where you have to turn it on and off to use or is it like hspa where it's on always?
My life for Aiur
Will our phones just have a 4g indicator at the top when using it? My area is rolling out and done by Fall but I heard it was possible to get some reception as they keep building towers throughout the Summer.
I thought this was some good new to share, I live on west coast and I find this every helpful in my part. I can't wait to get more coverage around the west coast!

I do a lot of roaming on US Cellular with a prl that gives 3G always with great results. Sadly looks as if this deal doesn't include Oklahoma. Sprint really needs some work round here. :/

Question when you are roaming aint theres a limit of data that you cant exceed if not sprint will terminate your contract?

These are areas which USCC has NO 4g lte coverage because they lack the spectrum to do so or it's just not profitable. Not to mention these are also markets where sprint severely needs additional spectrum... the perfect storm i suppose.

Really depends on the area you're in, but I live and work in two different states and that is the best for me in both areas. With that you wouldn't need roam control as it is a Sprint prl.

I live in Hesperia, CA. Tmobile 4g network blows here. I just did a speed test and the testing app showed I had a 3g connection while the status bar icon showed it as 4g(screenie added) what's up with that is tmo lying to me? Saying I'm connected to 4g when I'm actually not... I never get above 200kbps during the day, at night I can get 1500kbps but that sucks too. I'm getting so frustrated I switched from metro and their network was better. I got 2500kbps from them.

I guess you can go to the extreme of saying tmobile is lying to you, but in reality no they're not. "4g" just shows when data activity is happening. You are barely over edge speeds though. I would say try different radios and such and look at the map from this post and play around to see which will help you specifically. In the mean time put your phone to edge only so you stop wasting battery lol. [Baseband] ALL T999(V) Modems! w/ MAP and Data Tweaks!

They are misleading intentionally.
Start a big download and go to the dialer, input *#0011#. Take note of the band you are on (2 or 4) and which items have a 1 on them out of HSPA and HSDPA. If you are on band 2 and see a one next to either of those options, you can try forcing 1700 by using *#2263# and choosing it under WCDMA. This will cause you to lose service if you have poor 1700 coverage, particularly for voice calls but you can always set it back by going back to the main 2263 menu and hitting automatic.
If those don't work or you see zeroes have you gone into phone status to see if you have an IMEI? Because that will lock you to UMTS. Shortcut to find out - *#06#

I was assuming that you were on a TouchWiz ROM (these codes only work on the Samsung dialer) based on the fact that you had a 4G icon up there - if you're not on stock, there's not an easy way to troubleshoot. If you are on stock, you have to use the built in dialer, not a third party app.
Its worth the time to go to a TW ROM to try to troubleshoot it but if your IMEI came up fine then its less worth the hassle. Wish I could help you out more but it looks like you might be in a highly congested area on the network :/

my apologies. i was on liquidsmooth with uvmd5 and didnt understand why my download speeds were so slow so i wanted to check what this was all about. im currently switching between uvlja and uvli8 to see which modem works best in my area.
I was on uvlja when I started having the issues so I upgraded to uvmd5 and I am still having the problems. I'm not so sure anymore that the modems are the problem. I'm running DarthstalkerX2 I've been using these roms for quite a while but I've only been experiencing these issues for a couple of months.

T-Mo is not lying. You're still on their 4G network, but as someone mentioned, it's probably congested. Additionally, for most areas, T-Mo's 3G and 4G network is the exact same technology. If you're paying for the 4G service, they take the "speed limiter" off. Simple as that. Most likely a bad area of Cali for T-Mobile.

I'd like to see your sources for this because 3G UMTS, 3.5G HSDPA/HSUPA/HSPA+, and true 4G LTE are all different technologies. UMTS maxes out at 384Kbps, HSDPA ranges from 7 to 21Mbps, HSPA+ is up to 21Mbps but includes HSUPA for up to 5.76Mbps upload, and DC-HSPA+ is up to 42Mbps on the downlink with the same 5.76Mbps upload of standard HSPA+. 4G LTE can exceed 100Mbps.
While its true that they all operate off of wideband CDMA technology, they are NOT the same and require tower upgrades... T-Mobile does not discriminate based on your data plan. They discriminate based on your data usage compared to the plan you purchased and throttle you when you exceed what you paid for. Plain and simple.
Get your facts straight before you spout off nonsense.
EDIT: I am not aware if T-Mobile has deployed pico cells for UMTS anywhere but if they have, UMTS can go up to 2Mbps on a pico cell.

Can I use another 4G LTE provider on the Galaxy Note II from Sprint?
I have Boost Mobile and I had a Galaxy S2 with Clear.com 4G WiMax. I now can only get 3G, and as you ALL know the 3G speed has lowered quite a bit. (200~400k vs 700~900k 3 years ago)
Another alternative I guess would be to get a Hotspot, but who wants to carry around a phone AND a hotspot when you can have them both on the phone?
I believe you can use this device on any network that is actually using Sprint towers, like MetroPCS (?) or Boost?
There are threads somewhere for instructions on flashing this.
(i'm also talking out my ass, because I have only noticed these threads in passing, never actually researched this. But I bet if you Searched a bit, you'd find the info.)

I meant the 4G LTE, i.e. connecting it on Verizon's LTE or T-Mobile's (MetroPCS is now part of T-Mobile I believe?) Heck, even a Sprint LTE account if they allowed it by itself with no talk/text service would be nice.

Impossible to do first off you need to understand how technology and radios work Tmobile is GSM. Sprint and verizon are CDMA and you can only "roam" on 3g verizon with a prl that can get you kicked off, if you abuse it.

Impossible to do first off you need to understand how technology and radios work Tmobile is GSM. Sprint and verizon are CDMA and you can only "roam" on 3g verizon with a prl that can get you kicked off, if you abuse it.

Ok, so maybe I do need to do some research. LTE is *not* like WiMax? It doesn't have separate "device" from the actual voice/text/3G radio?
LTE uses the same radio as the cellphone and 3G?

WiMaXX was like a WiFi connection sorta. But yeah the radios arent all compatible. Just google some of it and search around here. I cant pin point thw links oe topics but there are here and there.

Nice, thanks for the info!
You can't use Verizons LTE because the frequency is different. The sprint note 2 doesn't have versions LTE frequency to pick it up.

Ok thanks for the info. Any other carrier with the same frequencies as Sprint? (What frequencies does MetroPCS use?)

right there, see. Metro actually uses Sprint towers (ie, Sprint services) ... So... Same frequency.

Thats why this galaxy note 2 is my LAST Cdma phone. For SURE getting GsM next theres plenty of carriers with 4G for it. Cdma sucks because I cant get no 4G. Before this phone had the oneX and yea 4G I miss.

Are u a retard? Hmm my guess im right on spot with that one. Sprint can suck it. GSM is better and if you don't agree? Take a ticket and take a seat next to the idiots that are waiting for me to give a Fuk.

I give facts and argument you insult sprint... well of course you are right. who has ever heard of the "can suck it" argument ever loosing. that's how we explained to Hitler and the Japanese emperor that he had to surrender in WW2 "Mr Hitler can suck it" -pres trueman, "since I can suck it I have ordered my forces to surrender and suggested to the Japanese to do the same"-hitler (translated to English)
if you can't give facts to support your claim you can go head and get an iPhone on a gsm network since you are using the same arguments apple uses to ensnare its sheep -i mean- customers
either that or you are an at&t rep or fanboy trying to weakarm customers away from sprint. why you aren't targeting your biggest competitor Verizon is beyond me but take that stuff to T-Mobile customers they'll eat that up like they eat their "unlimited" throttled data
one bad experience in one city with one small period of data speed downturn does not a bad carrier make
oh and mods don't blame chuko (or me) for starting arguments. arguments are healthy and help shape perception

In all fairness, Sprint in Denver does suck... 3g speeds right now. 200 kbps and no lte. There are a few lte towers popping up. but not in the metro area. Person in the cube next to me has AT&T and hspa+ is 15mbps and lte 40mbps. Faster than the cable provider here!

Tmobile has 4G LTE in almost all of New York with some decent coverage in Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia and they're just starting.. So they actually do have real 4G lol
