Has anyone in or around lansdale gotten lte yet? Still waiting for the towers round here to light up. Only time got lte was when I was down in Philly.

Loving LTE in the 916 area code, Sacramento, Carmichael, Roseville, Lincoln, Citrus Heights. I had it for about a week before AT&T announced its rollout. My sppeds aren't the fastest but its certainly better than H+!

Rogers I747M
Question to those with the Rogers I747M running stock.
When you get connected to LTE, does the on screen data indicator show 4G or LTE?
I unlocked my phone to get it onto the MTS LTE (Manitoba) network, but it's only showing up 4G and want to know if maybe Rogers modified the software to not display an LTE icon like the manual shows.
On a side note, the MTS LTE network SUCKS. So far I'm barely getting any good speeds and MTS claims everything is fine on the network side. I will continue to talk with them to hopefully get better speeds. If there's any MTS LTE members here, if you're getting good speeds, feel free to give me tips!
Cheers!
I was in Modesto last week and had lte, I was like "how the hell does Modesto have lte and sac doesn't" lol. I guess this answers my question.

the force switch from LTE -> 3G when a call comes in is causing problems
Anyone else see their phone take too long to switch from LTE to 3G when a call comes in? This results in the person calling getting rings and then voicemail, but no missed call on your device. It only happens when the LTE->3G switch takes a bit to get started...but I'm noticing it quite a bit.
I called AT&T and they just "reset" my account, but that had little effect. What gives??

I feel you, I was asking myself the same thing when I realized Davis had it, Frisco, Woodland and some small cities in the bay, but the state capital didn't. So far, Davis' LTE is the fastest for me in the area.

They are still working on the tower. I know a co-worker with the exact same problem who talked with AT&T. I heard that it might be a week before the problem is fixed. I'm on the UCLH1 modem myself, and haven't had any issues so far with texts, while she's on the UCLG1, if that means anything.

When I first got my galaxy s3, telus said it would come with 4g lte. It worked well and on the top notification section, it specifically said, 4g lte. Now I'm trying out custom roms and such, and I downloaded CM10. However, on CM10, the icon no longer says 4g lte, but it says H+. When I revert back to my old rom, it doesn't say 4G (i ahven't seen it say LTE at the end yet though). Anyone can tell me why my data connection has been demoted, or if it has been demoted at all? Should I just give Telus a call and ask whats up with this?
And yes, LTE is available in my area, I'm in Vancouver.

Jesus we're 20 miles from Connecticut covered in LTE and depending on your location on the island like 20 miles from the city where they also have it. You'd think they'd want to cover an island 70% filled with middle class families who ALL have a smartphone with a data plan

Yeah it's pretty bad. 1 in 5 calls go to VM with no missed call. I periodically get voicemails throughout the day. I'm on a rooted phone, but I didn't think that had much to do with it since all operations are pretty normal. (i'm on JB AOKP, SGS3)

Not trying to be an @$$ or anything but you do know that aosp roms like cm10 and aokp list lte as 4g and hspa+ as h+ it will never say 4g lte in the status bar unless you're on a touchwiz based rom right?

i would have returned it but i got this phone second hand and it was originally telus but i unlocked it
when im downtown i get pretty good reception but it still depends on the area that im in.
when i had my iphone 3g i had good reception at home but now i dont

Oddly enough, he's in the Scarborough area too. Could be a combination of phone + network.
Look into changing your settings under Mobile Network. Network Mode should be LTE/GSM/WCDMA. Also check your APN's for Rogers LTE. Lastly check your Phone Information by dialing *#*#4636#*#*, select Phone Information and change the setting to LTE/GSM auto (PRL).
I was having similar issues when i first installed CM10. It seemed to work after i played around with these settings. I also live in Scarborough and almost always have LTE.

I just recently bought a locked Rogers Galaxy Note II i317M and unlocked it using cellunlocker(dot)net; however, I am not getting a LTE signal on Bell for some reason — it's always just "4G".
I talked to a rep and he said that it should work since im in a LTE covered area. He also said that he can't help me further since I didn't buy the phone from Bell .
Anyone know what's happening here? Did the unlocking mess it up? Is that even possible?
I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks.

What are your APN settings?
Bell does not have a different apn for lte and hspa. After flashing some at&t roms, I am not getting lte at all. But the stock room is okay .
I'm on Rogers and couldn't get on LTE. It turned out to be my old SIM. Rogers replaced it and voila, LTE. Not sure if Bell has a similar issue with older SIMs or not, but maybe it's worth a try.
i flashed the Rogers modem. Works now.
Yeah check your apn settings and post them here

lte not working for me
hi guys i recently flashed miui for my note 2 and noticed im only getting 3g, my APN settings look the same and ive also played around with them but always end up with either no internet or only 3g. any suggestions?
As a canadian multi-carrier cell phone salesman you do need a data plan, sim, and phone all to be lte enabled for lte service. If you are on a plan roughly two years or older you most likely did not get upgraded to lte data. This sounds like your issue here, and you would have to go talk to your corporate to have the plan changed over. I'm not sure if its a personal under a corporate (this case changing should be easy) or a giant bucket plan, in which case good luck.
Rogers is the only canadian carrier to have an lte APN.
and lastly your bell micro sim should clearly be labeled LTE, and for others FYI Telus sim cards should be V31, and rogers I believe its B010 if memory serves me right.
On the note 2 lte is already a default setting if already enabled.
well i guess then miui for the note 2 is not an lte rom because ive checked and rechecked my apn settings, and i have all the above that u mentioned, the stock rom (4.1.1) had lte but when i flashed miui all im getting is 3g.
apn settings all blank i317m
I did something in odin.
I am on 4.3 official firmware but I have no mobile data. I checked my apn settings and virtually all settings are blank. Not set.
Help please
Thanks

Using a Sprint GS3 on Page Plus may mean that the 3G won't work. As Page Plus operates on Verizon's network, the Sprint radios in your GS3 won't operate on Verizon's 3G frequencies. Your best bet would have been to buy a Verizon GS3 as you likely could have gotten the 3G to work.

How does, then, one sell a Sprint GS3 (SPH-L710) with 3G working on PP, on eBay? There are listings if you will see, with a working 3G. I just made the mistake of buying one with 1X data.
1X just means that you're in an area with no 3G. It doesn't mean that you're getting "1X" data speeds because 1X is what SMS and MMS are transferred over, its not actually a "data" signal
It may be that you just dont live in an area where verizon gives 3G

I'm pretty sure Verizon has 3G here (I live in the city of Chicago, and moving around the city doesb't give me 3G either).
Anyway, I'm pretty sure the guy who did the flashing couldn't get 3G antenna to work with PP, which is what he told me.

This seems to be a recent development for myself, then. There are a few Sprint phones that look to be fully flashable to PP with 3G/MMS working. You may have purchased one that wasn't fully flashed. Making it work would likely require changing more than just the APN. My advice would be to contact a seller on ebay who is offering the service only and see if they can assist.
Why not just flash the radios? Your on xda where everyone flashes about everything. The seller would of flashed them. But not to mention he's legally not allowed to do anything about phones that are flashed to a different network as it became illegal the other day. Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken

No idea how to flash the 3G radio.
As far as the legality is concerned. This phone was unlocked much before any of that, and since now it is not tied to any carrier anymore (and no terms of service), making changes to the firmware should be perfectly legal.
You'll need a donor phone to get 3g. Some might help you here, or go over to the Page Plus forum @ Howardforums and you should find your answers there. You'll need a newer build of QPST and DFS CDMA Tool demo.
I was wondering if there is a way to get LTE enabled on a canadian Note 2 now that T-mobile enabled LTE on their version. I'm on the videotron version running on Fido/rogers

So you reflashed the LTE modem and it is running fine? or you went back to the HSPA+ one. Right now I am on T889UVALL4. To scared to flash back the LTE one. Maybe when I get more time to deal with a loss of imei again I will try the LTE one again.

Not much of a guide really out there. I flashed the tmobile modem for lte, lost my imei, managed to restore it and now have lte. Although I am now stuck with a tmobile modem. If I flash a t889v modem I go into a boot loop. Think it would be best to wait until there is a proper way of getting it done.

Yes im on Telus. Check your pm.
You don't even have to lose AWS DC-HSPA as I found out last December after dropping by a Videotron kiosk. This was further confirmed by Sjravi's tutorial to enable AWS on the I317.
i have just 1 question, is your battery life the same after you enabled LTE? now i can go about 1-2 days with heavy usage on my phone without having to charge it. just wondering before i jump in....
I've modded my phone early enough that I don't have much basis for comparison, but I have no issue going through a heavy usage day with plenty to spare. Trying two might be pushing it, but I've done it with low usage days. YMMV.
