Hi! My father sent in the Note 3 I had for Imei repair on Ebay. When it returned, it was able to make calls just fine however it's stuck on edge. Is there a way I can get 4g LTE back? Thanks!

Hello,
I am a new android user and made a switch from apple to get the Note II. I wanted to know if there was a way to turn off the 4G LTE and just switch over to regular 3G? The reason I am asking this is because none of the areas where I live have 4G service and we just recently got 3G service with at&t earlier this year.
So if anyone could help me out with this, I would really appreciate it.
Regards
So I have a Note 2 and I did have an S3, and the S3 was at&t but it was unlocked so it worked. And then I bought this, it was on 4.1.2, downgraded to UVALJ1, unlocked it, and it would work it little areas in the city, but the signal wasn't ever strong, I got 4G once. this is only my 2nd GSM phone so I'm note entirely sure what I'm doing. So if some one could possibly help me get my phone working, I would really appreciate it.
Ok, so to start off I currently own a Verizon Note 2 SCH-I605. I currently do not actually have a Verizon contract and have had straight talk a couple times in the past, got everything to work just fine. I recently got Walmarts 30 dollar T-Mobile sim starter kit for $30.00~ and have gotten just about everything working, except I am unable to figure out how I can improve my speed from the h+ I'm seeing.
I have been searching everywhere online and can't seem to find a clear idea if there is even a remote possibility of getting 4g lte from t-mobile on this verizon note 2. I've never rooted a phone before but I can assume that if it is even possible, then I am going to be heading down that route. Is it even possible to get t-mobiles 4g lte with this phone in any capacity or am I just out of luck?
Guess I'll just stick with this h+
I have two phones and two lines on T-Mobile. I have an LG G Flex and a Note 3. Has anyone else noticed that the reception on the Note 3 is much worse than many other phones. I can have both next to each other and they both get around -100dbm signal and the G Flex is fast loading pages (I don't get LTE in my apartment ever with my Note 3 but sometimes on my G Flex) and the Note 3 is slow and doesn't load the pages half the time. Wherever I go my G Flex data connection works a LOT better and a lot faster than my Note 3. I've done everything I can to my Note 3 to try and fix the problem (changing settings in Mobile Networks, going back to stock etc..) but the data is just flat out terrible unless I'm in a really strong LTE area. It's not the SIM card because I swapped them from one phone to the other and have the same issue. My Note 3 is on edge half the time in my apartment and my G Flex is always on 4G or LTE sometimes. I also have a friend on Verizon and his Note 3 gets a much worse signal than his wife's G2. When he bought an aluminum case for his Note 3 it cut his signal down so much that he had to take it off. I was thinking of upgrading the Flex to the Note 4 when it comes out, but now I'm having doubts.
Hello Everyone!
I got a AT&T Samsung galaxy note 2 on T-Mobile service using a T-Mobile sim card!
My note 2 has been rooted and I am running Jedi Master x2
I get 4g service in the big towns and in are small town were I live in spots my other T-Mobile phone
will get 4g service were my note 2 only gets E ( I take that as maybe 1g service? )
anyway it is way slow slower!
trying to think this problem out as a MFG's point of profit the inside of all lets say Samsung galaxy note 2 phones
are built all the same in hardware the difference comes down in software programing correct?
AT&T or T-Mobile or Sprint
So a question I would ask do I need to install the modem software from a T-Mobile note 2 onto my AT&T note 2
to get better 4g connection or is it the radio??
or is this a thing I have to live with till I by a branded T-Mobile phone
I would think this is all software related and not hardware am I wrong??

Do a search in the AT&T note 2 section for "AWS mod". Also, make sure you have the correct APN settings.
I have done the AWS mod and two different APN settings
I still get the same thing 4g on one t mobile phone and E edge on my note 2
may I ask does anyone know what would happen if I install the t mobile modem software
on a at&t note 2 ???
Baseband unknown meaning no service. I'd assume the note 2 just doesn't have as good an antenna or faulty? My ATT Note 2 with T-Mobile has LTE out of the box
I've swapped both ways at&t phone on tmo, tmo on at&t phone. Never had an issue so long as your sim card matches the service you want to use. Im using a tmo note 2 with an at&t sim right now without issue. Do Not Flash A Modem Not Built For Your Phone.

Also make sure you APN settings are current. Tmo has changed their APN settings recently. I believe the new settings are named tmo fast.
