Rogers and Bell are networks in Canada. You have AT&T network in US

Also check to see if you live in an area that gets LTE. If not you are stuck with Hdpsa speeds.

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.

LTE question.

So once we get the LTE update are we going to need an LTE sim? I remember with AT&T I had to get a new sim for 3G

Most likely yes, international tutorials (taking the verizon lte to an international LTE carrier requires a special LTE sim...ie you cant take a korean sim and plop it into an unlocked verizon lte GNII and get LTE as you need an LTE sim for it to work)

How to change bands on my Note 2?

Hi guys, the I have a N7105 LTE with baseband ver.N7105ZHALI5. Problem is this is a international phone and it doesn't support the lte bands in Canada. I'm with bell which has 1700/2100 LTE bands. What should I do to enable these bands?
Thanks!
Try different modems.

Not sure if this helps you but as far as I know, you can access LTE on the Rogers network. I don't think you can actually use the N7105 on the Bell for LTE.
Would 7100 modems work?
Thanks
Nope.

I'm getting LTE using TMO on AT&T no problems. And I didn't perform any lte hacks. Or AWS mod. Mine just quirks...:thumbup:
Pending I did do the unlock so it could quirk on AT&T network...

I purchased my phone unlocked. Presumably, with the method described in another thread. I performed the AWS Mod to get LTE on my SGH-I317 with T-Mobile.

You only need the aws mod to enable HSDPA+ on the 1700mhz band. LTE works out of the box.

Aren't they downsizing the AWS 3G? I didn't even bother doing the mod when I used an ATT Note 2 on T-Mo.

You are correct they are upgrading 1900mhz for their HSDPA+. In some areas that has not been completed yet though. If you do any traveling the mod would be helpful.
