[Q] Help with USB tethering please - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

I've seen a few threads on WiFi teathering but I'm just trying to ge tplain old USB teathering to work. I have an AT&T Note 2, rooted, with AWS band enabled (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068041) running CleanRom ATT 1.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075795).
I went to Settings->More Settings->Tethering and portable hotspots and checked the box for "USB tethering" while connected to my computer. However, I was not able to load any web pages. I didn't get a 404 error or anything. The page just seemed to do nothing and then said "Done" at the bottom. Any idea what is wrong?

I guess I forgot to mention that I'm on T-Mobile. I mentioned that I had the AT&T version of the phone in case that is relevant to the tethering issue.

[Q] Wicked V2 LTE Q

Can't post in the development forum yet so I'm asking here.
Just curious if anyone has reported any issues with connecting to the new T-Mobile LTE network with this ROM (Wicked v2 for T-Mobile S4)? If I set my phone to only connect to the 4G network, it has no problem connecting. However, whenever it tries to switch to the LTE network, it won't connect again unless I force the phone to connect to a 4G or slower network. The LTE network connection worked fine on stock.

That isn't a feature I've used yet, so I wouldn't be able to provide accurate feedback. Mine doesn't do it now but I'm not sure if it did it before either. Possibly some bloat that was removed?

The APN changed from original T-Mobile LTE US (fast.t-mobile.com) to T-Mobile (epc.t-mobile.com) after the flash.
APN settings for fast.t-mobile.com can be found at: support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-5881#network
im actually having the same LTE problems u have

Yea, that fixes the problem. Thanks for the info. Also, make sure you reboot after adding the APN or it won't connect to the LTE network.
Especially with this community pay attention to apn type in new settings I appear to have been able to thwart the tethering block with v2, appears they did away hiddennapn or Nick was able to kill it in the build.....will continue to test before I say for sure but im getting native tethering and 25+mbps up and down speeds on the m919 (tmo s4)

Tmobile S4 on AT&T cannot connect to LTE help!

Hey everyone!
So I picked up a tmobile s4 to use on ATT since I read it was the most unlocked due to bands / bootlocker. I unlocked it via the method described on this site via the debug menu.
Popped in ATT sim, everything looked fine initially.
1. I'm only getting 4G in an LTE area. device hasn't picked up any LTE anywhere yet.
2. When I go under "Network Mode" and select "LTE/GSM/WCDMA (auto connect) the signal dies out and it always reverts back to GSM/WCDMA"
3. I've called ATT a few times and triple checked that I'm on an Android LTE data plan, so that's not an issue. ATT techs suggested it could be a device issue and maybe I should take it into their tech center.
4. Tried to set up ATT Visual Voicemail, that failed also.
So can it be a Sim issue? Maybe something on tmobiles side? Since device was never active on their network. A lemon S4?
I've run out of options
Any help would be appreciated.
TIA!

Go to settings> more networks>mobile networks> access point network> and change your settings to look like these....
In the "APNs" window just hit the + button to creat a new APN

Thank you!
I also found the setting from here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMyD8zqk-Hg which led to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2336085 .
The main end game fix was that ATT had my IMIE # incorrectly set. Once they fixed that my LTE was a go!

Those icons are like that because of what the Rom is based on. Which is the international version on the Note 2. So those are the icons that they have. But you're still getting LTE.
You can check by going into setting, about phone, status.

Get rid of the "Preparing Network" on start up

I have a Sprint Note 2 on Page Plus, every time I turn it on it says Preparing Network, and doesn't get the web. I KNOW it's the preparing network. Any help would be great!!!

My stock Sprint Note 2 does this on a regular basis. But I have no clue how to get data working on other networks. I just wanted to let you know that preparing network notification is normal on a perfectly good stock sprint note 2. It's annoying but it does it constantly everyday.
