[Q] wifi vs LTE and a couple questions to users - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl

Currently I have a tf700 (64gb) that I rooted and run cyanogenmod 11 nightlies on. (I previously ran 10 nightlies) It was completely unusable until I updated from stock. The tablet is good but I really wanted a tablet with a stylus that I could use in school and work for note taking, jotting down things, making lists, etc. Basically I want the functionality I have now and the ability to get rid of carrying a notepad around. I bought my wife a note 8 and got a chance to play around with it and think it will work for me. I'm interested in purchasing a galaxy note 10.1" 2014 edition and had a couple questions:
1. There are LTE tablets on ebay. According to comments these tablets cannot do LTE on AT&T's network but they can do GSM. Is that correct? Also, they have a different processor for the wines with LTE. Do these tablets still perform well with the different CPU? Is it that big of a difference?
2. Is there a 64GB version of the 2014 edition.
3. Are the mods / kernels worth using or should you stay stock?

Also, is there a 64gb version?

Yes. Both the P601 and P605 are quad band GSM and will deliver HSPA+ data speeds on AT&T's network (5-10MB down) and perhaps as high as 20MB down on T-Mobile because they're dual-channel HSPA which both N10.1-14's support. Any quad band GSM device will only work on T-Mobile in markets they've re-farmed to 1900MHz. Even then, being so high on the frequency band, indoor coverage can be poor and even outdoor reception can be spotty. If you're planning on using T-Mobile I'd ask people in a T-Mobile forum what kind of coverage they are getting where you'll be using your device. To use the dialer and MMS you'll need to put your device on a "smartphone" plan. "Tablet" plans don't support voice or messaging. Since you're "bringing your own," if you're on a Family Share plan with AT&T, it's only $15 a month now.
Here are my results on AT&T with a P-601. I've gotten both higher and lower depending on the market I've used it in.

No. Exynos is stronger in some benchmarks while S-800's stronger in others. Even then, where there's a difference, it's minimal and at such high performance levels for both chips you won't see the difference. Read the N3 forum to see people with both devices thoughts. The same comments would apply to the N10.1-14 because it's equipped with the same CPU/GPU options. The biggest difference is charging time. A full charge on the P-601 takes 7 hours and 5 on the S-800 version because of Qualcomm's QuickCharge feature.

Scott Rossler has done a CleanROM for the Wi-Fi N10.1-14 which you should be familiar with from the Asus forums. I don't know if he's adapted it (or will) for the P-601/5. There's far less development for the 3/4G versions because there are far fewer sold.

Thanks for the help! One final question, is there any reason to get the P605 instead of the P601. My understanding is that the P605 is LTE which I can't use on AT&T. But there is a small premium in terms of cost.

I live in Oz but the question is, Will the International LTE version support the LTE bands on AT&T? If not then you might think about getting the 3G version.
I don't know what it's like in America but in Oz there are lots of places that don't support LTE/4G.

APN settings
I purchased the p605. Can you send me your APN settings for ATT. the ones I have do not work. Thanks in advance.

Hi...i have p600 wifi exynos note 10.1 2014 edition and the charging time from 4% to 100% is about 4:10 hours.
I think the charging time of p601 is similar because some processor.

One X on ATT

So I've had mine on ATT here in Dallas for about 24 hours.
I used my iPhone 4s Micro SIM and did nothing else to the OneX.
The data seems to be working fine, I've used a Unlocked GS2 in the past and this cycles between 3G and H just like the GS2 did. Maybe a hiccup to get the data flowing but it seems good. For some reason Speed Test over ATT didn't work in my house, so I haven't done a speed test on it yet.
Calls seem good, haven't made too many yet and I have a Micro Cell in the house so I have a good signal.
Tones are a tad low vs iPhone4s, ringing is ok, but messaging tones are a little quite for your pocket.
Battery seems pretty good, on my first charge and took a bunch of pics and vids today the usual new phone messing around and its at 45% since 9am-415pm.
I am getting some distortion when listening to music, used Google Music for a jog and it was breaking up, also tired DoubleTwist and when I click around on the phone while a song is playing I get weird sounds over the headset.
Also I'm using Google Voice for my Voice Mail so I never had to call ATT to switch anything.
The big question is will I keep this version or get the ATT's One X when it comes out??
Keep This ONE
By all means, try to convince yourself to keep this ONE X. The AT&T coming out wil be the XL, gaining AT&T 4g-LTE which will still be throttled by them. You will be losing the Tegra3 Quad Core in exchange for a Dual Core in the XL, you can't have both yet apparently. I want to have something not branded by AT&T. I have had the ONE X for about a day now, and liking it, alot!
That's good to know that you are having the 3G hspa signal changing back to forth. I'm trying to decide between my iPhone 4s and the one x. I'm not loving the size but I figure it's because I've been using the iPhone since version 1. The speedtest app does not seem to work.
The switching between 3G and hspa is normal, it's a trigger to save battery. If your using the one x on your iPhone data plan call ASAP and swap to an android data plan. You will see increased performance on an android data plan vs iPhone data plan.
Same here.. iPhone 4s convert. Using my micro sim from my iPhone.. using google voice for V-mail..ect ect ect..
I was playing around the APN's today and this one is giving me the fastest speed and lowest latency.

Screw the LTE version.. faster phone or faster data speed? I'll take faster phone with better international custom ROM support.

Idk if thats true actually. That's what I thought initially, but i've read otherwise.
My i9100 did that switching between 3G and HSPA, which caused a slight lag in response of data.
My Galaxy Nexus almost constantly stays on HSPA and I rarely see it switch back and forth between that and 3G if at all.
I've read about the AT&T 4G data plans and the guy said that switching to it from the old iPhone made it stop switching from 3G to HSPA.
The only thing is I'm on the old grandfathered unlimited plan so it contradicts.
The only thing I can think of is with the new 4.0.4 update.......WCDMA preferred is selected. You can check by typing *#*#4634#*#* and I'm thinking this is why it's always on HSPA which has led to faster data response times since it doesn't need to switch from that 3G to HSPA
It also isn't draining battery so I don't think the 3G to HSPA is a battery saving thing. I managed 3 hours and 20-ish minutes of display time with over 11 hours on battery and still have 40% left which was better than I would get/around the same as my i9100, when the Gnex should be getting worse battery life.
So I think it deals with what network mode is selected in *#*#4636#*#* leave it on WCDMA preferred and see how it is. The 4.0.4 made this the preferred choice on almost all Gnex.
And as for One X vs One XL, I'd take One XL just because Krait is a faster SoC and LTE is pretty amazing if you have it in your area. Integrated LTE Radio should also improve battery life a lot compared to other LTE phones. AT&T version might have a larger battery also like the Sprint version but no one knows.
Matt,
Did you change your data plan to Android 4G then do those new APN setting or are you still on the iPhone4s data plan??
I have to agree with this phone is better than the ATT's version, I just came from the iPhone 4S and before that a Samsung Skyrocket, the LTE sucks the battery and the data speed are not needed on a phone, 4G with better battery life and a faster processor and more storage is what I agree is a better product.

lol......that is what AT&T version is. 4G with better battery life and a faster processor, storage is same probably.
Tegra 3 isn't faster because it uses more cores. It's using older architecture compared to the dual-core Krait and it shows. In most tests, the Krait is faster, it also uses less power etc...because it's on a smaller fabrication process.
But if you want better ROM support, the international HTC One X is probably the way to go.
Your skrocket uses the old LTE which isn't integrated and sucks down a lot more battery.
And you can use that APN with whatever data plan. You don't need to be on an android 4g plan. It doesn't always yield faster results. There's a whole video of it on youtube. Phone APN yielded the slowest (it does for me also) while WAP.cingular and PTA(doesn't work anymore) yield the fastest data speeds. But it depends on your area so you should test it out.
I switched "my device" online at ATT's website to the Samsung G2 which I used for like a month awhile back. That pretty much solves the problem for me. ATT knows pretty quickly that you're not using an iPhone any more.
I did this when I had the SGN for a week or so and I didn't have to call anyone at ATT and explain myself.. which could be quite a chore if you end up with an ATT rep that doesn't have much of a clue.
I think with the build quality of the HTC One X and Sense 4 running on ICS.. the quad core keeping things buttery smooth. It's finally an iPhone 4s replacement for me. THANK GOD.
Ok, thanks
I'd have to agree with both of you guys, if the ATT version ends up with a better battery I might switch since I am in LTE. Not that that matters that much to me, as does the quad core vs dual core. I do like the 32 gig of storage, ATT's is lookign to have only 16.
Ok, I'll see about switching my phone only, but if the speed test app doesn't work, how are you guys testing out your ATT data speeds on these different APN's
Has anyone who switched their iPhone plan to a non iPhone data plan seen a increase and more stable data speeds?
Speed Test app didn't work when i was using the default medianet apn. Works fine with the APN settings I posted. And he's definately right about results will vary by location!
I can tell with real world use.. Stuff is downloading faster for me... web pages are loading faster.. facebook is snappier..ect..

good, cause i really haven't noticed any difference. compared them both and they both have the same speeds.
Hows the GPS when you try and use say Fandango to locate the nearest theater over ATT not WiFi??
Or if you use the Google Nav and say Navigate to Starbucks, it seems that it takes a long time or not at all to find a GPS lock over ATT.
Another question, under Mobile Networks
Are you using GSM ONLY or GSM/WCDMA??

I told you to try WCDMA in my first reply.
Mine is on it, and it stays on constant HSPA. No battery drain, which is why I think the 3G to HSPA switching isn't a battery saving feature at all. I've read threads/posts where the 3G to HSPA switching is actually bad.
Opps, thanks, I'll try it out.
I did call ATT and I'm on 4G data now as well.
Hows your GPS?

Okay, you probably didn't have to change....but you might experience faster speeds possibly.
Check if it switches between 3G and HSPA constantly.

[Q] at&t 4g on unlocked tmobile galaxy s3??

I have a unlocked t mobile galaxy s3 I'm using on at&t network and I only get 3g but my download speeds are 4 to 5 mb. Which is pretty decent but I was wondering if there was a way to get AT&T 4g? Maybe it's my apn setting issue? Any tips.....
What data plan are you on (medianet/dumb phone, fauxG, LTE)? I've rarely had issues with my unlocked phones having the wrong APN on AT&T, but here are the APNs: medianet is wap.cingular, 4G/HSPA+ is phone, and 4G LTE is pta.
That's about what I get on medianet. I've got as high as 8Mbps on pta but it varies and it's never been consistent for me. 3-5Mbps is normal for my HSPA+ in my area (Olympia, WA). I get about the same speeds in southern CA and tended to get better speeds by 1-2Mbps in Austin, TX.
If you're asking if it's possible to get LTE on the T999, I have no idea. ;P The MSM8960 (S4 SoC in both phones) does support it natively but I don't know if it's possible to enable the LTE modem in software. You could try flashing an AT&T modem but I doubt it's that simple.
Ok maybe I'm wrong but isn't the t-mobile galaxy s3 the only one that didn't come lte equipped because t-mobile uses hspa+?

Hey I have a question regarding this topic and the quote above. You listed the Apn's with its respective data plan:
1. wap.cingular = non-smartphone (i'll refrain myself from calling it a dumb phone plan lol).
2. Phone = 4G/H+
3. LTE = PTA
So I've just switched over from IPhone 4s > HTC One X > to now the Samsung Galaxy S3 (International unlocked version).
When I switched sims from iphone to one x, my data wouldnt work so they told me to get an LTE sim and give them the imei # of the ONE x. So i did that and everything was fine. They updated my account and i was receiving LTE on the phone with no issues.
NOW, with my galaxy, i just stuck the LTE sim in the phone and the phone defaulted to the cingular 410 apn. This is same as wap.cingular.
So here are my questions:
1. Would it be beneficial (from a performance/data speed standpoint) for me to call AT&T and tell them I'm back to a NON-LTE phone and have them change my account to a non-LTE account? And go through the process of changing my imei # in their system again also?
2. Since I'm actually on a smartphone unlimited (i did not take advantage of the $10/mo medianet) should I change my APN settings to "PHONE" and not use what the S3 defaulted me to?
3. Whats the actual difference in using wap vs phone APN's... I know the settings themselves are different, but anybody know the technical differences?
Thanks so much in advance!
T-mobile galaxy S3 on ATT 4G network
Hello can anyone post pics of the Galaxy S3 (T999) the t mobile version on ATT 3g or 4g networks. I am thinking about buying it but wanna be sure that it works before i spend the big bucks
This guy confirmed it works:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27984139&postcount=28
Anyone else have such luck?
I'm having this exact problem. I have an unlocked T Mobile S3 that I want to use on the AT&T network. Phone, text and VM work fine although AT&T hasn't figured out how to give me data service in any form. They're all stumped by this.
What I really need help with is coaching AT&T through the process.

ANY ATT users sorry they did not get the ATT version?

I aquired the ATT version and sold it because
1. We don't; have LTE and won't for another upgrade
2. I like the lower battery and data consumption of the FM Radio
3.We share 1GB data on legitimate Family share plan with one International "(dumbphone SGS II i9100) and my International Note I declared as a smart phone to get the family share plan. (cannot get that UL messaging Talk shared data plan with two "Feature phones" I am using the APN that came with the ATT version I upgraded for and sold on my Note.
4. The development community is huge already and FW udates are realesed there first. I am already running XXLA on my Note 1.

1. I live 30 min from ATT headquarters. LTE blows hspa+ outta the water.
2. I get 6+ hours screen time and 2 days off charger on my lte note.
3. Upgrade your data plan.
4. Development? Its not hard to learn and teach yourself. You will notice nothing between 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, except some settings moved around.
5. 7100 ROMs work on the att note.

2. I get 6+ hours screen time and 2 days off charger on my lte note.
3. Upgrade your data plan.
4. Development? Its not hard to learn and teach yourself. You will notice nothing between 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, except some settings moved around.
5. 7100 ROMs work on the att note.

I "get it" You love the ATT version and you develop your own ROMs however I am asking people on ATT using an International device in an International forum who do not develop ROMs if they would have preferred the ATT version now and why. Not who already has the ATT version and loves it. That said it seems seems no one on ATT is unhappy with their N7100.
I Don't need to use much data with the FM Radio. Why pay for something I am getting free or worse I won't use? $115 a month for two smart phones is a bargain. .Another $300+ a year for 4GB of unused data not so much....
Regarding LTE speeds, we all know the frustration of downloading a 700mb ROM on 'high speed" cable at 100kb a second despite our measured 15mps download benchmark speeds on Speednet. LOL
3G+ is plenty fast enough for most web browsing which is ultimately dependent on the web site. LTE looks great on speed tests, on paper, and may save a few minutes here and there downloading and may be very nice for someone who does not have another form of Internet source most of the time. But a few extra seconds of page loading won;t make a whole lot of difference on a mobile device as long as video and music streams seamlessly.
I don't have the time and especially the inclination to learn how to develop code for these devices, I'd rather have a choice of using another's passionate work with the shared results of their hobby.
Those of us without LTE for another year or so don't need the ATT badged phone. I had it. I tried it. I flashed a Rom on it. I sold it cheap .I am holding out for a great deal on a 7100 because I have the ROM already and can wait another $100 or so for the rest of the Note 2 goodies.
I am very happy with my international N2 on AT&T. My 3g speeds average 6-7. There is not LTE where I live, nor will there be for a good while. I have no real concerns about having LTE on my phone with limited data...
I'm fine with the International version. No regrets.
No regrets here. LTE is a long way off where I live. HSPA+ is plenty fast enough.
Thanks guys. I did the right thing. Now I wait for a better price while I rock XXLSA on the N7000
What APNs are you using? Cingular wap or ATT Phone?. I l am on using the Shared data plan I upgraded for with the option of switching back to the MediaNet UL data plan.
I'm using AT&T PTA. I get 6-8 down on average. With wap cingular I only get 3-5 down.

Thanks Good news I am glad I got the new SIM then and provisioned for a smart phone.
I have no regrets. I have the peace of mind knowing that AT&T hasn't tampered with my device in any way in order to monitor activities and/or limit features that are present to me out-of-the box. As for LTE, it's pointless to me the way things are right now. I mean, what need have I for a connection rivaling my home internet speeds, when I'm faced with overages or throttling? HSPA+ is plenty for me.

I just ordered on on Newegg for $599 shipped.... I agree with LTE. I have high speed internet here at home and downloading 700MB ROM files at 100KB/sec reminds me LTE is not all that. Websites determine speeds more than the carrier. The only clear advantage to LTE is when downloading or uploading large files otherwise web pages load in seconds on 3G rather than instantly. Not bad.
I put my phone up next to a Verizon SIII and compared my MediaNet 3g with their LTE. Thier's was faster by a few seconds in some cases and not even by one second in others.
can't you just disable the LTE radio (to save battery or if your area doesn't have LTE), or does that disable data/service entirely?

I bought the International version of the Note 2 and coming from the Note 1 AT&T LTE the battery life is not even close. The note 2 gives me well over 10hrs of heavy screen-on set to auto+high, net surfing over HSPA+. I could not get 1/2 that on my LTE Note 1.
As far as disabling LTE... For my wife, coming from the Skyrocket there was an APN that would disable LTE, however the radio was still there so the battery life was not helped as much as turning it off would have been. Trully turning it "off" on the Skyrocket was not an option. For her I opted to get her the T-Mobile Note2 and unlock it and she is running on AT&T HSPA+ as well with great results.
Bottomline: Getting between 8-9000kpbs is plenty fine with me, especially if it gives me even a fraction of extra battery

Yeah I thought that might be the case. Mine is on the way from NewEgg. I tried the ATT version but I am too used to a vanilla Samsung device. I actually like Samsung without the ATT stuff (although I don;t use TW. ) I tried the CM and AKOP stuff but too much flashing going on and samsung does not release drivers so FM didn't work without a $10 app and the S Pen stuff was wonky. .
The stock custom roms always were my choice. I would find one development team and stick with them. DesignGears on the Cappy, CheckRom on the i9100, Eybee, N7000 and looks like Omega will be my choice with the Note II

Net10 Wireless now supports LTE

This isn't exactly NEW information, but it's something that I had just noticed. I knew that StraightTalk had introduced LTE into their prepaid plan, but apparently Net10 has as well. Granted, it's not unlimited data, but for the average user, 2.5GB should be more than plenty.
I've been on Net10 since July of this year. It's been pretty solid so far and my only complaint was the lack of 4G/LTE service. After flashing the new MK2 modems today I noticed for the first time that my Network Icon was showing 4G LTE; not just the standard 4G when connected to 3G or H+. Also Settings->About Phone->Status shows me as being connected to LTE... so just throwing that out there.
I'll throw out my APN settings that have working MMS and everything; although I do believe they're the standard APN settings on Net10's page.

This looks promising. In your opinion then, there's no downside at all to doing this? I don't use Wifi calling so I would not miss that. What kind of data speeds do you actually get? If it's even close to what I get now (mid 20's, usually), I'm sold. The only concern I have is this sentence in their "transferring a number" section: In order to transfer or port in your phone number to NET10 you must have a NET10 wireless phone. I plan on calling them to clarify, but does this mean I can't bring my current number over with my phone, that I would need to buy one from them? That would be a deal breaker. Thank you.

I didn't see a down side. I was fine just getting 3G as I'm not usually in an LTE area anyway. Why pay $90 a month when you can get pretty much the same exact coverage for half the price? I came from AT&T and have the same coverage as i did previously.
As far as speeds go, I was just shy of 20 down when I tested the other day. I would upload a picture of it now, but I'm not getting too great of speeds where I am right now. Currently I'm only getting about 7 down and 12 up.. But I'm also in the middle of nowhere atm. I'm getting the same down speed on LTE here with 2-3 bars as i do on full bars of 3G. Upload is considerably slower on 3G though.
As far as porting your number, yes you can port it. It's a simple process and I do believe their website explains how to do it. I think I called though and had them do it over the phone. I do remember that your number still had to be active on your current network.. As in don't cancel your service until you set up net10. In fact, once you start the porting process, they take care of canceling your current service anyway.
And you don't need to buy a device from them, check the BYOP (bring your own phone) program.

FYI Net10 IS StraightTalk. In fact the APN settings are the same when using the new AT&T ST sim as the ones you posted :good:

Net10 is StraightTalk's non-WalMart-subsidized side. I know they use the same APN's, but while StraightTalk had 4G, Net10 was stuck on 3G.

Straight talk have LTE for their AT&T sims not on tmobile sims.

ATT 3g?

Hi I setup my incredible 2 (with cyagenmod 7.2) onto airvoice wireless
but the best speed I could pull ffrom att was about .22 mbit
I was told you could do 4-5 mbit so I'm wondering what was wrong..? I used these settings from here
and also tried these settings.. the internet worked but all I could get was again .20 mbit at best..
APN details:
Name: Mobile Web
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: 66.209.11.33
Port 80
APN Type: default
MMS:
MMSC: mmsc.cingular.com
APN Type: mms

We've retired our DI2 & using them only as travel phones on GSM, and, yes, the best it can do is 2.5G or Edge, due to hardware/APN & software limitations - it is also missing the proper 3G radio bands used by AT&T (and T-Mo) for its faster mobile broadband. There isn't a custom Rom solution availability - sorry. It's fine for checking email, GPS & weather, etc. and not streaming video or youtube on these speed. Keep in mind that even while it's on CDMA, the best it can do was 3G speed.
If you travel with this & access other carriers or roaming providers using the compatible 3G band as the DI2, then - you can get faster 3G speed on the device. Domestically here within the US, it will not be happening.

Yah, well I still don't understand.. I know for example 3g from sprint or Verizon should be capable of 2+ mbit (usually a mbit or less depending on umm network in the area)
So it was my impression again.. att or tmobile could do up to 4-5 mbit on some of there 3G and yah again supporting some of the frequencies the Inc2 supports..
Here are my airvoice/att speeds so far.......

Well, just b/c Sprint or VZW's network is capable of 2+ MB speed doesn't say or mean much, unless you are standing next to the tower. I could never get half of those speed from home or at the office, but if I mvoe several blocks closer - yeah, I can usually hit 1.5M download, upload was still horrible. And, it is not just the speed but the latency - yours are pretty bad but typical of slower Edge/2.5G from the distance.
With the unlocked DI2 on GSM/UMTS with 3G, I've managed to pull these speed - it's still "slow" compared to the Nexus 5 on 4G / LTE - keep in mind HTC released them almost 2 1/2 years ago designed for Froyo or 2.3 and never officially upgraded/enhanced them to run GB, and these were discontinued for a year now - it is practically worthless with zero trade-in value and sell for almost nothing on eBay.

ev_vivow-nightly-2013.07.20.zip and
GApps 4.2.2 Minimal.zip
These are what I've been using on my Dinc2 since last July without any problems except voice message notification which was resolved by using Google Voice. The Google apps have been updated automatically but for first installation I would recommend the appropriate ROM version Gapps.
