4g - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

Can someone please tell me what network settings should the galaxy note be on to get 4g?

What area are you in and you know for sure you have lte? It should be on automatic or CDMA/lte

Well, what happened was last night I was at home and I think it was set to CDMA, but I looked in the status bar and it said 4g clear as day (with data) and I was shocked. I'm in Chattanooga tn. It kept switching from 3g to 4g.

|Q| No 4G LTE with Sprint

I can't get 4G LTE to connect with my GNEX. When I was on stock I got 4G LTE, since I rooted and started using ROMs I haven't been able to get 4G. I switch the data switch to LTE/CDMA and never get 4G. I tried updating my profile, prl, radio, everything. I get decent 3G speeds but just wanna know the reason why I don't get 4G. Is it the Roms? Or..
BTW I'm in San Antonio, Texas and we do have 4G LTE here.

Well wasn't running it then but am now. Make a nandroid and flash jellybro? Try that see if that works. If so then CNA has an LTE issue.

Will do that right now. Got time.
Hopefully it's just CNA.

The lte towers in Texas are wonky as hell. I've had 4g on and off at my apt since July 10th or so but it never stays on. Search the market for an app called Sensorly. It is the most accurate LTE map I've come across. BTW I think sprint users should start getting on their asses about this. The whole reason I upgraded from epic is because they promised it in Dallas etc by the middle of July. But you can tell by lookin at the true coverage area that its just a joke to them.

I thought all at least most of San Antonio would have 4G LTE. Sprint 3G speeds are fine, but every other main carrier has 4G. Sprint's slacking. On the coverage map for the 4G LTE all of San Antonio is highlighted. So untrue. I know it just launched and is still kinda new, but i haven't even gotten a chance to use it or test it.
We're from the same city! I thought I should just trow that in there! Flash back to stock and if it keeps happening just go to a sprint store

I'm saying its not on at all.. but the coverage isn't anywhere near what it should be. At least in the dfdub.

question about 3g speed and 4g connectivity

Hello,
I have been around for a while, since my htc hero. And I've trusted xda to fix the many issues that manufacturers leave in. However the are a few issues with my new Galaxy S III that are driving me mad and if I can't fix them I may have to return it.
So far my speed is terrible. My 3g speed is half that of my wife's Epic touch. My 4g speeds are fine but will randomly switch to 3g (and with lte there is no refresh button like wimax, so I have to use airplane mode). And 4g is slower than 3g when I try to download from the play store but fine in the browser.
If anyone can help that would be great. I can't search all that well from the app and I am on stock tw 4.1 just rooted. I already fix all of the prl updates and stuff.
Also sometimes a green checkmark appears in my notification bar and says preparing network.
Other than this annoying network issue I really like this phone. I would hate to have to return it for the lg optimus G

I had that same problem....I was averaging .8-1.3mbps. Its not the phone its the location your in. Finally sprint turned on lte tower 14 in roanoke tx. Data faster than home internet.

That's what I would think. But my wife's phone was working fine. I just returned it today. now Sprint still wants to charge me an activation fee. Sigh

Your wife's phone us on wimax yours is on lte. What you explained sounds like lte towers are being worked on and upgraded near you. Lack of signal going into and out I went through that for about 4 weeks then lte lite up perfectly after that.

Yes I know that. I was comparing their 3g service

At&t lte users

Ok so I thought I'd contribute a bit and start a topic regarding what people thought of AT&T's LTE network.
I got an iPhone 5 the day they came out and was getting some amazing speeds. Like 15 Mbps down and 6 Mbps up. But within a few weeks of having my phone I started noticing dramatic drops. I live on Los Angeles and in the city I now get 2-3 down and less than 1 up. So what I would do with my iPhone was turn off LTE and too my surprise the 4g network was doing leaps and bounds better. About 6-8 down but still less than 1 up.
Now I have my new galaxy note 2 and still don't have the best of LTE but 4g is still giving me the high downloads I was seeing on my iPhone 5. So for the most part I keep my LTE shut off on my phone though turning it on and off isn't as easy to do on android as it was on my iPhone. Unless anyone knows a toggle I can add some how?
Anyways just thought I'd start this little discussion to see what everyone else thought about their LTE in their area. Personally I think it's a joke how expensive AT&T is and how poor quality their bandwidth is. If it's gonna be expensive it ought to work great. But I guess that's just how things go with all carriers. Well love to read your guys' thoughts.

Sounds like your LTE network is saturated with users. It was bound to happen:thumbup:

thats what i figured but whats good is since most people dont know how to turn it off it leaves my 4g network wide open haha. even though my phone wont boot again now after trying to boot with no sim card in it, back to the forums i go.
how does one force 4g mode from lte?
Take out your sim card. Turn your phone on. Go to your dialer and dial *#2263#

Unfortunately I only get hspa+ in my area but in Allentown, PA about 45 minutes away I got these LTE speeds on rt. 78. Wish I had LTE in the Poconos
Sent from my SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I get no more than 12mb down/9mb up in Margate/Coconut Creek/Boca Raton, FL area and that is at NIGHT when no one is on. During the day, the HSPA+ is faster.
I usually get 10-15 mbps in Tulsa Ok. I have seen 50+ a couple times. Unfortunately I don't get LTE anywhere I go on a daily basis. I can get it by going 2 blocks south of my house, but my daily commute takes me north away from any coverage. Still happy enough with hspa+ as I usually get 4-5 mbps which is plenty fast to do anything I really need to do on my phone.

If you have tdunham's AIO mod the latest revision with the 3M app uses a 4glte icon for 4G.
Its still plain Jane 4G, not lte.

It will never say 4g lte unless you mod the icon.
