Lte and streaming? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

Does anyone have the problem of having the phone switch to 4g when streaming a video? I would be watching something online at lte speeds and it would be fine for a while and then it would jump to 4g speeds and I feel like the 4g speed is capped. When I did a speedtest at 4g, it went around 1mbps while lte was getting 17mbps. Most of the time is 3-4 bars lte
It would switch, he from lte to 4g half way through the stream.
Thanks

Force phone to roam

I need help to force my phone to roam on verzion network

Roam control in the market will do what you want.
Roam control works great. You will only get a 1x signal though so its only good for calls and texts.

It worked great for me when I had a weak or no signal in the mountains. Works fine here in Raleigh, NC as well.

Speed test

I ran the xtream labs speed test and my upload speed is faster than my download. Up was 1.2 and down was .5 is this normal? This is 3g

Not normal per se, but that's normal for sprint's ****Ty 3g network.
I used to get 2up and 1 down now not even that. Things have gotten worse since September.

Data issues

I've been having really slow data for the past 2 weeks and I'm not throttled my status bar shows a full signal but apps that use data take a while to load any suggestions

What exactly are your speeds?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Reboot device, download speedtest from the market, post the results.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
either you are in bad reception area, or you are in a really congested area if you are not being throttled
It's Hard to explain my data works but it doesn't start loading instantly it takes roughly 30 secs to a minute,for the,page to begin to load after it starts loading it does so at 4g speeds

Terrible Data Speeds

Anyone else getting speeds like these?
Or anyone been able to fix this problem?
Attached are my APN settings. I've read the whole APN thread but got no definite answers. I also called AT&T and they said one of my towers might be down. I doubt that every tower on my commute for 60 miles is down though.

Make sure they have you on the 4g smartphone plan and then Google Atrix 4g APN settings and input those. If everything is set up right you will get better speeds.

Results after new APN. Also called AT&T and they confirmed I am on the 4G plan.
Also after new APN I can't send or receive MMS.

You should have 4 apns if you used the Atrix 4g apns. One for HSDPA one for tether one for MMS and one for the regular WAP.Cingular. I use them and I get a constant 5 meg down and 1 up.

Do I need to do anything specific after inputting the settings? I find it weird that I have data but even slower now and no MMS.

Select the radio button for HSDPA and then reboot your phone.

Signal doubled with new nb4 kitkat update

Just flashed the full stock with bootloader and modem and my signal doubled.. 2 bars in home to 4-5..
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
But if you look at the actual signal, it stayed the same. I still have -108dB, but "full" bars.
I'm not sure about that because I ran speed tests before and after and it spiked from 18mb down in the middle of the house to 27mb same spot.. And near the window 30+

I have to agree, before the update, I was barely getting hspa+ in my area. Now after the update it's full LTE in the same area.
Thought it was placebo at home the last couple of days but now at work I'm getting a solid 4g signal inside where I used to get no signal at all.
