[Q] LTE simultaneous voice and data - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

I thought the Note II handled simultaneous voice/data over 4G. I tried to use it today and couldn't even though I clearly had 4G connection.
Has this worked for anyone else? I'm wondering if I was really connected to the "enhanced" 3G and LTE

Voice and LTE work simultaneously. Or at least on my phone.

I'm thinking that I may have been on the enhanced 3G and not actual LTE. Does your signal show 4G or LTE?
Thanks

It shouldnt matter what 3G your on. Sprint does not have an enhanced 3g (4g). LTE is the only 4g that the Sprint Note 2 has. So if your running LTE it should work.
Oh and the phone doesn't show LTE only 4G icon.

Makes sense. Thanks

This depends on what rom you are on. If stock then it will show 4g.some roms have it show lte when the phone is connected to 4g.

there is simultaneous voice/data over LTE but not on 3g. On a stock rom it will day 4g at the top.

Has anyone heard about the galaxy nexus possibly going to sprint?

According to the post on Engadget, the galaxy nexus might possibly be coming to sprint and having lte. If it does and my area has lte I'm getting it!!!

I suspect it will be announce at CES, with a useless 4g chip until the end of the year. It was an official sprint ad.

But my other question, and I know we won't know until the full specs at released, but do you think it would have Wimax and lte or just lte? Similar to how AT&Ts lte phones have lte and hspa+

Wimax is frequently built right into the wifi chip, so it is possible, but I doubt it. It would be inelegant to have 3g, Wimax, and lte. Most likely will be 3g and lte.

Connecting to 3G

So my phone has no problem connecting to edge and 4g, but i can never get it
to connect to 3G, is their a mod or app that can fix that?
The only way you will see a 3G icon is if your area has PCS HSPA and your phone connects to it. Otherwise it's just 2G/4G
4g is 3g.

Am I the only one wondering why tc would want to connect to 3G?

4g logo only ?

Is 4g logo for connection speed is the highest connection speed or is 4g + or 4h logo for higher connection speed I'm not getting ? I'm in Houston ,tx .what's everyone else getting in this area ?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
So far I think T-Mobile only uses 2 logos. Either edge or 4G. 3G is also 4G in their dictionary.

Then how do we know we are on hsps if we only see 4g? This is horse cocky lol:what:

If you see 4G then you're on HSPA+ network. If you see Edge (E) then you're on their 2G network.

Is this 4g lte?

No. But it's a good speed.
You can check by going into settings, about phone, status and see what network type says.

Example
Correct. Not LTE, but fair speed for H+, arguably slightly faster than the typical 3G. You're getting the speed I used to get when I was on my SGSII (non-skyrocket) until I upgraded to the SGN2 with LTE here in San Diego.
Thanks. Its says im running LTE:14. So I guess the question now is why am I not getting lte speeds!?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Just ran another test, slightly faster speeds but you can see in the status bar it says 4g instead of h+.
Im running jellythunder perfect storm..which I thought h+ meant lte.
Ideas?

Ok. Than u are getting LTE. The rom u have just isn't showing show in your status bar.
Did u flash an international theme or something that may have caused this?

4G=LTE
H, H+ = HSPA (3.5G)
3G = UMTS
This means that when you are in LTE you won't see the LTE symbol but instead 4G.
Depending on the rom u are using of course. In order verify that your ROM is actually using LTE go System Settings --> About Device --> Status. Look under Mobile Network Type.

I am in a lte area and my status bar now says 4g which means lte. What are normal lte speeds? My last post was the speed test on the lte...that normal?
Thanks again!

No, this is what it would look like. Look in between the alarm clock and the signal strength meter.

LTE = faux G as far as I am concerned.
AT&T is still on 3G .. its just 3G+. According to what I have read, LTE (and WiMax) was originally a "transitional technology." Then it was upped to 4G and HSPA+ is now a a transitional tech. Then some1 dumped a lot of money into an offshore account and transitional tech is 4G.
Cue the nerd rage at this point.
LTE Advanced (as well as WiMax v2 or whatever they were going to call it.) are 4G. These are some way away. With big V saying LTE deployment going into 2015, one could guess we won't see "pure" 4G until almost 2020.
Edit: LTE is 100Mb/s down AND up. LTE adv is basically gigabit. As far as the original spec, 4G = gigabit. So .. we aren't quite there yet.

Well, the symbol at the top left says H+. So, no that not LTE, if it where it would say 4G.
But if its an international port than it says 4g, jedi states so in first post

haha .. nothing like downloading (theoretically) a DVD iso in under a minute.
I'd rather have the lower ping time and the lower bandwidth connection than the higher ping time and larger bandwidth connection.
The fact that your ping is so low makes me believe that you might be on LTE. But it could be an excellent 3G connection or whatever ATT likes to call it to make themselves feel superior. I've seen speeds that low however for LTE when the signal isn't very strong.

Gsm i9250m 4G on/off

i just got my Gnex...is there a way to turn off 4G ??...i dont see anything in the settings
That is because it is called 3g.
You want to check 2g under mobile network settings.

thanks...so that will allow me to use only 2/3G not HSPA+ all the time...im using the phone on AT&T if that makes a difference

HSPA+ is an enhanced form of 3g. If you check to use 2g, that is what AT&T calls Edge service.

ok...thanks!...
Lol the 9250 doesn't have a 4g modem even though t-mobile & at&t market HSPA+ as 4G. 3G and HSPA are the same tech.
