LTE? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Can you use LTE with stock 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 on the SGH 1747 with T-Mobile with the correct APN?

YES BUT IT DEPENDS ON WHERE YU LIVE a city will probably have T-MOBILE LTE working but if you live in the suburbs/country/outside the city then HSPA+ 42, 3G IS what yu'll get and its as fast as its classified as (TRUE 4G) by T-MO try it but idont think LTE is near your place
running Synergy ROM 4.1.2 WITH Ziggy Kernel using ATT Galaxy S3 I747
PLUS an ATT phone does or might receice T-MOBILE'S 4G LTE since it does not have the SOME SPECIFIC bandS that T-MOBILE requires to use THEIR 4G LTE
sorry am too lazy to research about bands diffrence and everything about it but i am sure that yu need a T-MOBILE phone to use 4G LTE ON T-MOBLE NETWORK, ATT phones will or might not work on T-MOBILES 4G LTE network

I flashed the T999 t mobile modem and I'm able to get lte

[Q] SGH-t889

Hi guys,
Maybe someone can answer this.
I just got a Note 2 model t889 and I live in Montreal. I found out that Rogers (my provider) uses the i317m model. Would this make a difference in my LTE speeds? The t-Moblie unlocked one I have now is only getting around 8mbps down and 1mbps up. When I switch my sim back to my iPhone and do the test, I get 35mbps down and 30mbps up. Is there anything I have to tweak to get it to LTE speeds?
Any help is appreciated.
The t999 don't have Lte yet. Even if they did turn it on I don't think it is compatible with Rogers Lte.

Some people claim that t mobile version has same hardware like att, just firmware disable/enable some frequencies. Roger version looks like att (as far lte is concerned). Theoretically seems like would be possible to flash firmware to make that phone fully compatible with rogers network. Check att note2 forums and you may be able find more informations

Can International S3 Work on Tmo's LTE?

can the international version of the S3 work on tmobile's LTE network?
No. S3 is not compatible with tmobile LTE and international version will only get Edge not even 4g
It may or It may not. Look at the tmobile's LTE bands and look at the international S3 bands if they the same it can. Also now that tmobile have the 1900 band and the iphone can get 3g. I think that now most of international phones with tmobiles 4g/3g

No. You'll probably need a newer galaxy s3 with the lte chip.

No. And worse it will only do 2G on the T-Mobile network until after the frequency realignment. Then it "might" be able to do HSPA+, but perhaps not.
LTE... Never.

Unlocked AT&t GS3??

Just was wondering if an Unlocked AT&T samsung galaxy s3 would work on T-mobile?? I think it would as the frequency's are the same. Also would AT&T samsung galaxy s3 get t-mobile LTE???
Sounds like a dumb question. What I'm asking: would at&t GS3 work on t-mobile LTE as the frequency's look the same?? Of course if I have T-Mobile LTE in my area. And also the AT&T GS3 is unlocked but, It was AT&T with LTE 700MHZ,1700MHZ and 2100MHZ.
Thanks

If you're in a T-Mobile refarmed area (1900Mhz), then you will get HSPA+ with an unlocked AT&T S3. Also, if I remember correctly, T-Mobile LTE uses Band 4, the same band as AT&T. So if there is LTE coverage in your area, you should get LTE connection, provided your APNs are set correctly.

But you have LTE in your area already?? I'm jealous lol.
Edit:
Oops, I read wrong. I thought you said " of course I have LTE" instead of "of course if I have LTE". My bad

TMO rom /w LTE support

I'm in a real pickle. I have a AT&T (I747) S3 that's capable of LTE. I've flashed several T-mobile rom's on it and everything seems to work except I don't get an option to choose LTE in the Mobile Networks. I assume this is because T999 did not have LTE but T999L did.
Are there any roms that are touchwiz (I need wifi calling) and also support LTE?
Thanks folks!
Um... Why haven't you tried at&t ROMs if you don't have a t999* device anyway?

Because AT&T roms don't have Wifi-Calling feature. I should have clarified T-Mobile is my carrier.
I was able to figure this out. I downloaded this 4.3 Stock deoxed ROM for T999L and I was able to get everything working. Now onto theming it like an S5. Unfortunately majority of the custom roms out are for the T999 and don't support LTE. http://click.xda-developers.com/api/click?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_14033932361886&key=f0a7f91912ae2b52e0700f73990eb321&libId=e2cc1c90-f9dd-49fc-b098-d6b1401acb32&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D2561670%26page%3D7&v=1&out=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.androidfilehost.com%2F%3Ffid%3D23252070760975307&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D2561670%26page%3D8&title=4.3%20Update%20for%20T999L%20now%20live%20-%20Page%207%20-%20xda-developers&txt=%3Cfont%20color%3D%22Blue%22%3ET999L_4.3_UVUBMK4_deodexed_KnoxFREE.zip%3C%2Ffont%3E

T999 ROMs do support LTE, but you won't see the option for it, as long as you select auto it will connect to it

I still can't seem to get LTE on this AT&T S3 (/w AWS enabled). In the same area I'm able to pickup LTE on another AT&T S4 (/w AWS enabled). I'm able to pick up Edge and HSPA+ on both.
UPDATE: I was able to connect to LTE but I had to force the phone to use LTE Band 4 using *#BAND#. I was not able to make any calls at this point since it was the modem was running LTE only.
I then moved the modem to Automatic and the LTE remained and I was able to make some calls but on ending them, it went straight to Edge instead of HSPA+ or LTE.
The switch over between Edge to HSPA+ / LTE doesn't seem as smooth as the S4 and sometimes it just doesn't switch and sticks to Edge.
Ideas?
People have been trying to do this for a while and it is something I believe just isnt going to work. The I747 was built to use a specific set of frequencies on AT&T networks. T-Mobile uses different frequencies/bands and the I747 simply cannot make proper use of them. There's threads in AT&T forums about this. You should check them out.
I used an I747 before with T999 ROMs and had no problems connecting to LTE once I used the correct APN, can you please state what APN you are using?

Ok, I have realized that this is an error caused by the AWS patch going away when I reboot. I thought this wasn't supposed to happen with I747 and only with i747M's but it seems like it's happening to my unit.
Once I have the AWS patch on, it goes quickly from E - > 4G (HSPA+ - > LTE (when available). When the HSPA+ is only available, it has a much harder time moving from E-> LTE directly.

Oh I didn't realize you were using the patch.. Well my area is refarmed for 1900 hspa+ so I didn't have to use any patches, once I put in the LTE APN it quickly picked up LTE and everything was good

To keep or not to keep.(unlocking)

Hello everyone.I just received an HTC m8 as a present.my question is,will a Rogers based version unlock to and operate fully on Winds AWS bands?and if possible what is necessary.
Does the Rogers version support both the 3G and LTE bands used by WIND? In other words, does Wind use AWS for LTE, or 3G also?
It will. All you need is the unlock code.
