Yes this. T989 will never run lte no matter what software is on the phone. We don't have the hardware for it. And the lte software package is there in general, for phones that have it.
And we don't have it.

This depends entirely on T-Mobile's service in your area, not the SIM card.

What he said.
It's pretty much the same as your existing T-Mobile phone, if not.. better.
what he said, but.....
it also depends on which radio you have installed. Samsung has a handful of different5 radios depending o where the phone was originally marketed for. All are basic GSM 5-band capable but each one has minor tweaks for specific networks. There are several threads on here debating which radio works best. Do a search if you are interested. For mine, the XXKK6 radio it arrived with (ordered from the UK) gets comparable reception to any other phone I have used on T-Mobile. You can see the radio version under settings .. about phone .. baseband version. Changing radios is easily done if rooted and you have basic mod skills.
My service wasn't the best at first but after I flashed UGKL1 radio my data speeds on HSPA+ went from 2mbs down up to 10mbs consistently.

Status bar says I have 4G LTE but 5mbs? I've seen other people well beyond 30mbs.. 5mbs seems more like HSPA+..

Probably just the area. My HSpa+ speeds are so erratic lately.. sometimes I only get like 50kb per sec its horrible.. att needs to step it up and upgrade the network.

Some ROMs take away 4g.. I don't know about the ROM you're currently on, but mine has said I have 4G when I was really limited to 3G. I know this isn't much help, but I've had similar encounters and it was the ROM I was running.

It says LTE:14.
Just wondering for those with good speeds, which baseband are you running? I'm on I747UCLH9. And I hadn't had high download speeds since I flashed it.

There is a way to unlock the phone but i fear that these roms are catered to 4g lte and simply mobile is only 4g will that affect service as far as data or email and text etc? Will it even work at all?

No lmao. If u dont know the difference between att radios and tmobile radios, then id advise u not to even bother with rooting and flashing. U can only get and will only get EDGE/2G data speeds. Period

The phone is already LTE capable, however T-Mobile needs to flip the switch 1st then we will get an update.
Not yet tmobile not ready 4 lte sometime in 2014
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Or more likely 2013 depending in your area.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
Hopefully someone can find out how to activate LTE so that we won't have to wait til 2014 when the phone is outdated.

2014? Really dude....phone is already LTE capable and tmo is rolling out their 4G this coming year. Chill out.
Enabling the phone won't do crap until Tmo heats up their LTE mojo on the network. Patience grasshopper.

Not everyone who has the T889 is on Tmobile like you. The phone may have an LTE chip, but it's not usable... so it's not really "LTE capable".

Not possible, SGH-T989, T989D phones don't have 4G LTE hardware, most roms do have support for LTE, but the phone hardware has to have it.
