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.

Really dude ? NO.
The rep at the store was running a test build which enables the LTE radio to be used.

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.

But it WILL work- in theory- once Tmobile releases the update that unlocks LTE.

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.
I just bought some batteries to deal with this

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?

Yeah I'm cool not having lte until it's released but how does my sgs2 get better speeds on t mobile?
Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk HD

Honestly I'm thinking some of the issues are the build.prop
Ive been adding a few things ril related
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28
ro.ril.hsupa.category=9
ro.ril.hsxpa=5
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
And getting somewhat better performance though I'm not certain they are helping I don't have the energy to check if something else is setting them

Just add a new APN with epc.tmobile.com, the new APN (fast.t-mobile.com)on the 4.1.2 is the one making you get the slow speed.

the new APN is for the LTE network supposedly. Not sure if it will be only for LTE or if you'll be able to epc for LTE as well.
I'm in one of the LTE markets and keep flipping between stock and carbon rom. Tried cyanogen and have had the best luck.
I bought my note 2 at full retail for use on prepaid 70$ plan to see if I want to switch off my VZW unlimited data with 30$ hotspot.
I'm anxiously awaiting LTE turn up!

They cover how to make the APNs editable in these forums you'll have to search. I don't have the energy to look at the moment.
Edit:
Ended up finding a decent example of editing stock with new APN.

I thing they are testing LTE under fast.t-mobile.com but if you live in a tmobile LTE area is no need to change to epc but if you see slow speed have the epc apn available to switch for faster HSPA+.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

Yeah I think they are using it to test also but that's a guess. I constantly switch between 3g and 4g icons all day. ... Like every ten seconds when in most areas. I'll leave apn until tomorrow and then switch to epc if I don't see lte. I live in Miami fl and have been checking downtown in hopes of getting lte

T-Mobile LTE APN works on Simple Mobile.

I have Note ii and yesterday updated to 4.1.2. I thought that the APN setting intact as Simple Mobile setting, and I kept using it untill now. Then I found out that I am using T-Mobile LTE APN Setting, which they worked fine. and even more the internet speed is 14mbs. even even more I have test the MMS and it does work too. I am waiting for t-mobile to switch LTE so I can check the speed. that will be awesome. btw I am from Houston, TX.

Are you sure you're using the T-Mobile LTE APN? I'm pretty sure the standard connectivity speed for T-Mobile is 14 Mbps. Any incorrect or unknown APN will also be routed directly to the network's default, so it would help to know exactly which setting you are using.
Thanks!

so whats the APN setting for the LTE?

Did you change the Protocol to IPv4/IPv6, or it came like that? I've heard that Note 2 comes with IPv4 selected by default.

Unfortunately that's just Dual HSPA+
You will see "4G LTE" instead of just "4G" on the top of your notification when it's enabled in your area. I'm keeping my fingers crossed also. When LTE is working you will also see a big difference with your upload speed as well.

fast.t-mobile.com ... My Note 2 updated itself yesterday and changed the APN to that. I have not been able to check it yet because I am on Simple Mobile and they turned off my data today for "violation of terms" [again]. When I stream outbound video they do that automatically. I do it on purpose just to piss them off ... right before my prepaid renewal of the 22nd of the month tomorrow. Will be anxious to see if Simple is given the LTE network too. Will find out tomorrow LOL

Lol... they reset your data without issue when you pay?

What was the old apn? Maybe that will improve our speeds the new update slowed down.

How much has the speed increased by the LTE thing? Like before and after updating APN thing.

Note 2 lte on 4.2.2

I am using the avatar rom on my att note 2 and I am not able to get 4g anymore I have ran speed tests and the speeds are very slow. I have set the apn to att lte and still getting similar speeds. Any ideas on how to get faster lte speeds along with the 4g icon isn't showing.

I am having a similar problem. I've flashed this ROM awhile ago and have noticed I'm not getting LTE, only H+. I'm with Bell and not sure what I need to install or where I can find the correct APN needed?

LTE missing since rooting – bell canada

Hey gang, rooted my s3 this week. This is my first Android device and is 8 days old. I didn't waste any time!!
I put task650s build of 4.2.2 on with cw recovery 6.0 3.1.
On stock I was getting LTE but now I mostly get 3g and sometimes 4g but very low connection bars on 4g.
Apn set to pda.bell.ca
Network mode set to LTE/GSM/WCDMA
Any way to fix this?
Thanks!
