No LTE for t-mobile gs3

I read that even when t-mobile jumps on the lte band wagon in 2013, that our gs3 phones will not be able to take advantage of the new speeds (what a drag). I'm not sure if this is really the case, but I posted the link to the article below.
http://www.galaxys3newsblog.com/t-mobiles-samsung-galaxy-s3-to-miss-lte-yet-another-dissappointment/

One thing you have to remember you always want to buy a phone that works right now for you not a phone that would work better in the future, I'm happy with hspa+ and by the time I get lte from tmobile I might have another phone anyways so I think I'm cool with that, it bee discuss in another topic too

This is true. I just thought that I would post this for those who didn't have the benefit of reading the other post. For those that don't change their phones often and intend on keeping the gs3 for some time, I thought that this was good information to help them make a well informed purchase. I hope this helped anyone that didn't know and wants to buy a gs3.

My HSPA+ speeds are consistanly faster than my friends Verizon LTE. Plus HSPA+ uses dramatically less battery. Heres my speeds in Detroit.

+1, I owned my T-989 for less then a year before buying my T-999. At this rate I'll buy a T-1000 when it comes out in 6-8 months from now.

Same here in San Diego. Verizon was fast out of the gate but they heavily over-subscribed their network and now they are lame. AT&T is the crazy fast at the moment but I expect them to be in the same boat as Verizon this time next year.

How the heck do people get such fast download speeds? i downloaded the speedtest app and I'm only pulling about 3-4 thousand kbps with 3 bars of 4G.

Practicly yes on stock 4g shows when you connected to umts(3g), hspa and hspa+(t mobile calls this 4g cause it could go up to 42mbps) but if you changed yours to stock look ( aosp) you will see your phone going at all of them and won't stay connected to one at all times, you might no notice because their 3g is not crazy slow where you live, I have good coverage specially where I live and work so I don't mind it

Honestly I dont know which one to believe. Ive read the frequency issue and one that said the T-mobile version got the 8290 chip that doesnt support LTE. I guess we will have to see when they actually launch it.

It does have LTE, just like the T-989 did, its just disabled by default. You can access this setting by opening the dialer and typing *#*#4636#*#*, and selecting radio type.

I need to get a new phone every year it just gets boring ... as soon as a good quad core comes out I'm outta here.

Data keeps switching between 3g and H+

Ever since I flashed my phone with the wicked rom .. my data has been do constantly switching between 3g and h+... I have my network type set to wcdma only and I have a strong signal but it still drops down to 3g
Before when I was on the stock rom it never did that.. I even had my network type set to wcdma preferred ..
Anyone having the same issue ?

That's completely normal. It only shows h when your data is fully active. Its a good thing. The only difference is now your phone is telling you the truth.

Oh is it normal ? I didn't know since on the stock rom it never did that ,always displayed 4g.
But what would it drop to 3g if I have a strong signal always
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Yeah dude. T-Mobile does that they call their hspa+ 4G. Technically anything that is not 3g is considered 4G. The reason you are seeing this on your new rom is because the stock tmobile rom will only display you in 2G or E for edge. Or 4G for 3G and HSPA+ otherwise known as 4G. The majority of customer roms will tell you what you are currently on.

[Q] LTE speeds on Cyanogenmod 10

I have a Rogers Galaxy S3 and I installed the latest CyanogenMod 10 and I'm just wondering if it is possible to get LTE speeds on my device because everytime I switch the network settings under LTE I lose data connection besides that everything is perfect and I can get HSPA+ speed, wich is ok but not what I'm paying for and I would love to get those speeds back.
Found the answer -____-

Is your apn set up correctly

What do typical LTE speeds look like? (I never had data until I got my S3)
I have a Telus SGS3 running CM10 M1. At the moment I got 25mbps down and 18mbps up with the speedtest app. My signal indicator says 4g and the speedtest app says my connection is LTE.

Just finished installing the AT&T version of the CM10 M1 update and I still can't get LTE to work 4G does not show up and still have same problem of not getting data connection when selecting LTE as connection. What are the correct APN settings for Rogers so that I am able to get LTE?? :/

Not sure off hand, Google Rogers lte apn

I'm with rogers too. We'll my phone is. Anyhoo in order to get lte speeds with cm10 or aokp for that matter you have to put in that code looks like *#*#3896#*#* I'm not sure about the number though look around you'll find it, and then select lte, gsm. That's after putting in the right apn settings of course. Btw it'll work but it won't stick you'll have to do it again every time you restart your phone. Personally I can't be bothered that's why I stick with stock until they figure that out.

No need for all that. In latest CM10 all you have to do is change preferred network type to LTE/GSM/WCDMA, choose Rogers LTE apn and u get LTE speed. It will show 4G but if you do a speedtest you'll see the difference. And it sticks on reboot. In AOKP though it doesn't stick.

^THIS!
for the longest time i couldnt figure out why i didnt see the LTE symbol. When you flash to cm10 the LTE symbol is now 4g.

This should be stickied until cm10 fixes the issue. Every Canadian user flashing to cm10 has no lte by default. Thank you for fixing mine

OMFG, thank you for clarifying that. I thought I was going insane.

Still No LTE (AT&T)
I live in an LTE area, receive it with stock rom, but only showing H+ for speed. I have validated that the mobile networks is set to LTE /GSM/WCDMA - not sure what I may be missing. I love CM10, but really wish I could get this figured out. On AT&T.
Anyone help out? Is there some information I could provide?

I am unable to toggle off lte on cm10 to save some battery life. Is there something I'm missing?

Looks like it is working now. I get 4G in the LTE area and H+ everywhere else. The data speeds are decent, so not going to worry about it.

CarbonROM AT&T GS3 rotating between 3g and HSPA+

Recently flashed CarbonROM and now my phone rotates between 3G and HSPA+ when both are listed as full signal. Is this a ROM issue, Phone issue, or AT&T?

Its not an issue. AOSP based ROMs show 3g when data isn't active and H+ when it is. stock ROMs incorrectly label H+ as 4g.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

So it isn't a matter of me having signal or not? It's just going to say H+ when actually using data and 3g when im not?

H+ is not LTE that is correct. On AOSP ROMs LTE is displayed as 4g. If you are seeing H+ then you are either not in an LTE reception area or your APN is wrong.

If i could piggy back off this thread, I also have a tmo s4 on att network. Yesterday I was with a friend who was also on att and I noticed his phone at that time had 4g where the network bars were located, mine however read H+. It was then I realized that I have never seen the 4g symbol on my phone ever. Do I just not get 4g? Or does this ROM that I have on my phone (slim bean) either not have the files for 4g or maybe its originally a T-Mobile ROM so I'm not getting 4g I don't know. I do get LTE tho.

Ok this makes sense, thanks.

I had the same issues. If your previous phone that you used on AT&T was only 3G (I had an iPhone 4), your SIM card is only configured to receive and transmit 3G data. You will need to go on to wireless.att.net and order a new 4G SIM card, or go to a store and have them program one for you. This is assuming that you have already signed up for one of the new data plans, if not, they will likely not issue a SIM card capable of 4G and will probably hound you via email and SMS about using a 4G device on an old 3G data plan.
