Really stupid question.

I'll keep it simple. I don't have Sprint 4g lte coverage like the other 99%. But there is Verizon 4g lte... Am I able to use Verizon's 4g lte without flashing to their network?
Silly sheeps, S3's arnt for noobs.

No. I do not even think you can use the Verizon LTE network of you flash your phone.

Thanks, again stupid question. Lol, thanks for your time .
Silly sheeps, S3's arnt for noobs.

Lol, he's right, you can't use Verizon LTE on the fact that you have sprint, and I believe they all use different radios, but hey, no question is a stupid question if you learned something from asking it

I'm pretty sure even when we data roam on Verizon, it's only 1x never mind LTE.

Correct, I think the only way to get 3G while roaming is to flash a verizon PRL. But atleast you guys get LTE!!! lol

Wow

I bought a gn2 unlocked off craigslist for $450.00 cash.
Purchased a solavei wireless sim card.
60 bucks a month no throttle after any amount of data used.
Great coverage averaged 14 mbps down. Hmm with speeds like these hard to see how sprint stays with these guys.
For the first time in years I have been thinking of bouncing. From sprint to another Carrier . The blazing data speeds have me mezmerized. Solavei rides on tmobiles network. But at that price it may be worth a switch.
Bought the 2nd gn2 for a work phone. Gonna wait and see if sprint builds out the lte network in my area. But it's sad when I go back to my sprint gn2 and speeds won't pay 512 kbps on average.

I did the post just for you.
Honestly your best rebuttal would have been not to post.
Wasnt about how crappy sprints 3g is. But more about how fast tmobiles network is.
Been a sprint customer 15 years nothing new to me.
Hopefully the softbank acquisition helps Fix that.
And the post is phone related its a phone forum.

HSUPA+ compared to EVDO lol. If HDUPA+ on tmobile was always 14-15mbs download then they would have no need to roll out LTE. Thing is HSUPA+ cant maintain that speed.
Uh... nvm I am not going to explain... congrats on your unlimited highspeed data through tmobile.

HSPA+ ? Trust me even still in the dfw areas it's good averages 6 to 15Mbps. They don't need to roll out lte but normal consumers don't understand differences between 4g technology. And t mobile is truly using 3g but when pushed to its ultimate limits it hits 4g like speeds. But they don't people that obviously.but that's why gsm is so much better than cdma and other stuff too lol

Thanks for the clarification
I appreciate the knowledge.
I'm also wondering when tmo gets the iphone. How much the network will suffer.
Just like the other carriers I presume.

Is Tmobile still "unlimited" - 5-10GBs then throttled to hell or is it like Sprint's unlimited?

I have tmobile and one of their major slogans sort of is "the only truly unlimited data plan". Ive used like 30 gigs of data the month I have owned my note 2 and have never been throttled. Usually get around 27mb 19 down. I notice no change in speed.

No they have a plan that's 5 and 10Gb with hotspot that's throttled but if you get the unlimited 4g plan it's cheaper and better setting how we can all get hotspot for free.

If Sprint were to release EvDo RevB or even RevC, it'd pull speeds of up to 30mbps, too. Problem is, lte becoming the new standard, it'll evolve the fastest and its cost efficient for Sprint in the long run (also cost efficient for any carrier.) This is why everyone's going to lte.

I didn't start this to bash sprint just amazed a Tmo data speed.
I still have my sprint account with 2 lines
I'll end up selling the tmo note 2 sooner or later. I am really looking forward to Sprints new owners making major changes. Hopefully we. Get 1 year. Upgrades back. That kept me on sprint
Despite slow data and the plans $$$
But. Being A Japanese. Company I'm. Wondering if these. Guys. Have gsm plans in the future.

Actually, I think softbank is a CDMA Carrier. I could be wrong though.

GSM certainly has its advantages, that's why I was with T-mobile previously. The HSPA is getting pretty fast at it's peak, but there are so many times when you don't get those numbers if you are in a heavily used area.
Having said that, I switched to Sprint because they are implementing the next wave of GSM (READ: LTE-A) before T-mobile will be finished with their GSM network (Read: HSPA+42)

Can I take my sprint gs4 and put it on tmoble network

So I aquired a sprint gs4 but I really want tmoble service...

Hmm so does that mean I could go to verizon?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium

mmmmmaybe...I think the basic voice frequencies would work but I bet you wouldn't be able to get LTE from Verizon with the Sprint version of the phone. Essentially, all the reasons to switch (like better network speed) would be off the table if you used a Sprint phone.
I was on Sprint for a few years and just jumped to T-Mobile (got the new SGS4) and it's an AMAZING difference. T-Mobile's 3G speeds are 2x faster than Sprint's 4G LTE. T-Mobile's LTE knocks my socks off.
It's worth it to sell the Sprint phone and make the jump to T-Mobile IMHO.

So yea. I did that. Tmobile is better. Thx

[Q] Can I use another 4G LTE provider?

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.)
Um LOL. Like the thread right under this one?

Thanks for the info but that's not what I meant. I mean the 4G service, not the voice, talk, text and 3G. I have that already. (that's what the thread under this one does, help you program the Note 2 on Boost, I already did that part. 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.

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?

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.

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!

I have been on a straight talk sim for almost a year now. 45.00 a month unlimited!!! Im running both this device, and my butterfly s on it. I get the exact same service as if i were using att!! For less than half the price! Net 10 is the exact same service, hspa+ speeds, which is fast enough for me, i do all my downloading and youtubing off my wifi at home. One thing to note is that the data part is NOT truly unlimited. If u stream videos, and dl large files, they will throttle u until the next month. And if it happens to often, they will disconnect u for good. But for me.....i couldnt b happier, like i said im constantly on wifi for the data part of it.
