Had S2 and got HSPA network all day long now I have the S3 I only get UTMS. What's the deal? I even updated my Sim card today and thought that would help but I am still on UTMS and not HSPA. When I had the S2 I could get HSPA on data and wifi networks. So now I am wondering if something is wrong with my phone. Hell, if I can't get HSPA I mind as well go back to the S2 or get a phone that can get HSPA like it's supposed too.
Its normal. Itll go up when needed during transfers.

It's a Tmobile thing to switch down when not downloading. It saves bandwidth.

It affects latency when its switching but has a negligible effect on actual download speed. It also saves battery over being on HSPA all the time.

There's nothing to correct. It was intentionally built to do exactly what it is doing. It saves bandwidth on the network and yes, it does save on battery. So you have to wait an extra 6/10ths of a second for it to start reaching full speeds... Imo, its a great tradeoff!

No, T-Mobile uses dual carrier HSPA which theoretically can use double the bandwidth and double the battery life of At&t HSPA. Using UMTS as an idle fall back makes sense as HSPA itself is already a huge battery drainer (lock your phone to Edge for 24 hours and you'll see what I mean) - UMTS still consumes more than EDGE obviously but the hand off from EDGE to UMTS would be impossible to maintain virtual transparency.

I guess we gotta wait on a leak for this ota then. I was thinking we were ready to roll without any mods but I guess not...
There's already a person with it activated in a test device. He said it has new apns and is based on android 4.1.2, so when you see that update we will have LTE. Right now it is currently only going to be active in Las Vegas, and Kansas City.
There is a CM10 ROM that is suposedly gonna have LTE capablilties. I have not yet tested it but I may at a later date.

I went to *#22693# and came across an LTE option on my T-Mobile Note 2, has it always been there? I thought the bands were not enabled yet.
Currently on LL4 .
Curious, when lte comes out, would it consume a lot more battery power than the current 4g?
And what if your on rooted rom? Will the option be there or will you need to revert to stock for the OTA ?

Tbh id rather wait for the tmobile lte than try and use att. I had my friend at work run speedtest on his and its not much more faster than our hspa+ right now.
My connection on average is around 13-15mps, ive peaked at 22mps too before. The att one that was ran was at about 19mps. Since att is realease 9 lte and tmobile is said to be releasing release 10 lte. Im going to wait and see.
Hopefully the 2 people here can post their speeds with the test devices to see what we can look forward too.

If your connected to LTE you should see about an 30 min to an hour less of battery life, if your connected to "4G" (3G) but your phone is constantly searching for a LTE signal you going to lose about 1:30-2 hours.

Thanks that explains why my battery life has been fluctuating. Even when I am connected to 3G my phone still displays 4G and the battery life consumed is the same when I am connected to either type. Is there anyway to turn on the data connection automatically whenever a particular app requires it?

Hey guys I'm sitting at campus waiting to do my Fasfa and I decided to do a speed test. I know tmo is releasing lte in Providence rhode Island but I didn't think it was this early

That looks like HSPA to me. Speeds are consistent with HSDPA and short of typical HSUPA. That and your signal indicator shows H+.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

I can't believe you are getting speeds like that in LA- I took a trip to Irvine a few months ago and couldn't get more than 3mbs. I am so used to the speeds in Reno that range from 9mbs-19mbs consistently, I was so frustrated! How entitled we are now. I remember when 1.5mbs was FAST! I can't wait to try out true LTE, already my data speeds are faster on "4g" than my WiFi connection at home.
This morning on my way to work I looked at my phone which is thw note 2 and yes yes 4g lte was on the screen. It went back to regular 4g but it starting to function. Awesome! I will post pics and speedtest when it come up again.

When I hit "begin test" it gives me a ping of 58ms connected to either Phoenix or Tempe but then when the dial goes up it freezes then becomes sluggish again. This only happens to the download one (the upload one is a constant movement, no sluggishness).

Also, dial *#0011# and take a screenshot. I'd love to see if T-Mobile is deploying 2x10Mhz there since your upload indicates that! Most markets are 2x5Mhz.

Yea..No problem dude:good:
my 4g went from 18mb to 7mb after the update..
It seems like pages would load faster if the radio was forced to stay on HSPA+ rather than going back to umts then waiting that second for it to jump back on HSPA. Anyone ever heard of a mod that makes the radio stay on HSPA network?
There's definitely a difference between the both in terms of speed. I came from Verizon and there LTE network was good but not great. I get better speeds at home on t-mobile but better at work on Verizon. There network was good at going through walls. The big difference is there LTE radio is always on forcing fast speeds out the gate. It's always on. If there was a mod to just force the radio to stay on HSPA there wouldn't be much of a difference between the both when it comes to user experience. It's not a big deal but was curious if anyone ever heard of such a thing.
Please exclude the I9505 build prop as I'm enjoying one of the international builds at this time. Again my data is good but forcing this HSPA network to stay on would definitely improve user experience. Maybe one day I will have the skills to create such a mod
Wishful thinking. Thanks community and please don't flame this thread. I'm in Q&A and it's just a thought

No, you can flash other carriers roms. The thing is you have to make damn sure what you're flashing isn't gonna brick you. From a software standpoint all Note 2's are the same, for the most part. You have to be careful not to flash another carriers modem or you'll have no signal. If that happens just flash an AT&T modem and you're good. The kernel is pretty much the same. There might be some minor differences but nothing to worry about. Just read read read. All the info is in the OP, and if it's not just ask in that thread.

You can flash tmobile roms no problem. You'll also have access to wifi calling if you're carrier is tmobile. I'm using my at&t note 2 on tmobile. Lte and h+ on either carriers roms.
