Verizon doesn't run HSPA. They are not a GSM carrier.

I read it wrong.
The Verizon note 2 supports gsm bands for international (an maybe sone day domestic) roaming. Getting the radio/modem to fly however would likely be a challenge.
I am pretty sure it doesn't go the other way. There are a couple of folks who swear that the hardware is totally identical between the US carriers Note2 devices.
I can't say I agree but im not in a position to be absolutely certain.

I havent checked bsck since i posted the thread All of u have it all wrong the Verizon note 2 is pentaband it happens to support tmobiles 3g 1900 band I know im on it daily
Nothing to do with flashing radios
Right out of the box its factory sim unlocked for gsm of your choice
Tmobiles 1900 band actually is everywhere and it is 3g h+ back and forth on the vzw note 2
I just went from vzw iphone 5 to the vzw note and I get 3g 10-14xmg download speeds from both

Turn on LTE

Does anyone have the link handy for the post on how to activate LTE on the Note 2 (by popping out your sim) ? I searched for it, but didnt find it for some reason.

That's not really turning on lte. I believe it was just to have LTE as a option, but it's not like it'll do you any good.

Why wouldn't do me any good if I had the option to select it? I live in Vegas they keep turning it on and off while they test it. I was at the T Mobile store today and one of the reps had their Note running on LTE.

I guess we gotta wait on a leak for this ota then. I was thinking we were ready to roll without any mods but I guess not...

There's already a person with it activated in a test device. He said it has new apns and is based on android 4.1.2, so when you see that update we will have LTE. Right now it is currently only going to be active in Las Vegas, and Kansas City.

There is a CM10 ROM that is suposedly gonna have LTE capablilties. I have not yet tested it but I may at a later date.

I went to *#22693# and came across an LTE option on my T-Mobile Note 2, has it always been there? I thought the bands were not enabled yet.
Currently on LL4 .

Curious, when lte comes out, would it consume a lot more battery power than the current 4g?

And what if your on rooted rom? Will the option be there or will you need to revert to stock for the OTA ?

Tbh id rather wait for the tmobile lte than try and use att. I had my friend at work run speedtest on his and its not much more faster than our hspa+ right now.
My connection on average is around 13-15mps, ive peaked at 22mps too before. The att one that was ran was at about 19mps. Since att is realease 9 lte and tmobile is said to be releasing release 10 lte. Im going to wait and see.
Hopefully the 2 people here can post their speeds with the test devices to see what we can look forward too.

If your connected to LTE you should see about an 30 min to an hour less of battery life, if your connected to "4G" (3G) but your phone is constantly searching for a LTE signal you going to lose about 1:30-2 hours.

Any news on LTE in Vegas? Can you post your screens of ServiceMode or speedtests?
THanks

Thanks that explains why my battery life has been fluctuating. Even when I am connected to 3G my phone still displays 4G and the battery life consumed is the same when I am connected to either type. Is there anyway to turn on the data connection automatically whenever a particular app requires it?

Wifi tether for tmobile galaxy s4?

Hi guys! I just got my galaxy s4 yesterday. I rooted it, and I got wifi tether on the device. It didn't work, and I was wondering if it was the app's problem for not having support for gs4, or tmobioe blocking any tethering action for people with no hotspot plan, or that I just have the settings wrong. Can anyone help me? Thank you!

Changing the APN (Access Point Name) won't make tethering "work". There are strings in the framework that need to be modified for it to work without getting cut off. Believe me I know, I had the fix in my ROM for the Note 2. The guy above is posting from outside the USA/T-Mobile with an Xperia lol.

Ohhh okay. So no way until someone makes a rom that can breai away from tmobile stuff?

I had used APN backup & restore on both S3 and Note 2. Hopefully, its dev will be able to setup an APN that will work with the S$.
Note - it will only work on 3/4 G, so you would loose LTE after restoring modified tethering APN, so you would have to backup the LTE APN and then restore it when you want to go back to using LTE.

There is no unlimited mobile hotspot yet, until then, you can call T-Mobile and they have free tethering for up to 500Mb until someone can unlock it for us.

As I said it's as simple as modifying a few strings in a framework apk.

Same problem without rooting
Guys,
I just bought the At&t version of S4, got an unlock code for Sim and put in the nano T-mobile sim, all was good, got 4G internet from T-mobile and made calls. Tried to turn on my hotspot feature from the phone itself because T-mobile hotspot is free up to a limit.
Was not able to turn it on, it kept going to the off position with the error "MOBILE DATA IS NOT AVAILABLE OR INVALID SIM".
Of course I had my wifi connection off and had 4G connection from T-mobile. Got off with t-mobile customer service and got their APN settings, was nothing to change.
Yet my own samsung hotspot feature doesn't turn on. I think samsung has turned off this feature in US versions of S4, so even if you root, you wouldn't be able to get hotspot on.
At least that is my two sense on this matter. IF any body knows how to rectify this issue, please help.

It's saying invalid, because the strings in the framework point to an AT&T APN. Once again.....the strings will need to be changed for this to work.
I know that this method works with any plan, because I had the android preferred (5gb no tethering for $20) and now have the truly unlimited; and the method I speak of works on both.

Force HSPA+ mod?

It seems like pages would load faster if the radio was forced to stay on HSPA+ rather than going back to umts then waiting that second for it to jump back on HSPA. Anyone ever heard of a mod that makes the radio stay on HSPA network?
There's definitely a difference between the both in terms of speed. I came from Verizon and there LTE network was good but not great. I get better speeds at home on t-mobile but better at work on Verizon. There network was good at going through walls. The big difference is there LTE radio is always on forcing fast speeds out the gate. It's always on. If there was a mod to just force the radio to stay on HSPA there wouldn't be much of a difference between the both when it comes to user experience. It's not a big deal but was curious if anyone ever heard of such a thing.
Please exclude the I9505 build prop as I'm enjoying one of the international builds at this time. Again my data is good but forcing this HSPA network to stay on would definitely improve user experience. Maybe one day I will have the skills to create such a mod
Wishful thinking. Thanks community and please don't flame this thread. I'm in Q&A and it's just a thought

Yes if you look in the mobile network in settings you can change the gs4 to the second mobile network setting which is without LTE. with that setting checked it only uses HSPA. Enjoy. I use it when LTE is acting funny

If you're on a Samsung phone, type *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer. Open Phone information. There'll be a drop down list saying 'Set preferred network type'. You can force LTE only or WCDMA only etc there. There are other options too, depending upon the phone.
