Does being on Lte drain more battery compared to HSPA+

Quick question. I LTE is good in my area always full bars but does it drain the battery faster compared to being on HSPA+

As he said, yes. There are many reasons why, but to get a detailed explanation I suggest reading this article http://gigaom.com/mobile/why-lte-sucks-your-battery-that-is/

So should I even bother being on Lte

It depends how patient you are. Would you rather drive from New York to California, or fly? The speed difference for me is well worth the cost of the battery drain.

I think I can live with it H+ in bell canada is decently fast download speeds averaging 20mbps and 5mbps upload.
But do you know how substantial the drain is?

No not really, but it is easy for you to test it. Try one day with H+ only, and then another with LTE only - compare the two.

With AT&T we can't switch LTE off its all or nothing :/

It's the same on Verizon.
I would love to be able to switch to 3G when I'm in areas with no/poor LTE signal, but until some crafty developers figure out how to toggle it, I think we're both out of luck.
I believe Sprint versions can still toggle their LTE and 3G though.

Yeah, we have the option of toggling between 3G only and LTE

You actually CAN switch to HSPA only. I'm testing it on mine. Do this:
1) Create 2 new APNs under settings => more settings => Mobile Networks => Access Point Names
2) Hit the menu button and select "New APN".
Create the Following APNs
Name: AT&T US
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
Username: <not set>
Password: <not set>
Server: <not set>
MMSC: <not set>
MMS Proxy: <not set>
MMS Port: <not set>
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: <not set>
APN type: default,supl,agps,fota,dun
Name: AT&T US MMS
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
Port: 80
Username: <not set>
Password: <not set>

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: <not set>
APN type: mms
Now switch to the AT&T US APN. You are now on HSPA. It might not be the faster backbone. Whenever I create an official HSPA+ APN, it still defaults to LTE, but this one keeps it on "4G".
To go back to LTE, all you have to do is select the "PTA" Access point again later.

I'm on wifi 24/7 so I won't be able to tell you.. infact I have mobile data disabled right now *even downgraded my data plan to the min one* until I go back to school. Its summer vacation right now still. :laugh:
One thing I did notice is it wasn't going back to LTE or alteast there wasn't a LTE icon for the other one.. Not that it is a big deal . . I have plenty good LTE coverage were I am but I don't need the speed I rather have extra battery.

I was pretty damn sure there was a star code or something to access that setting. All you're looking for is to access the EPST. On the HTC devices it was ##778. Maybe it's *#*#4636#*#* or something similar?
However, I don't have a VZW one, so I am unable to run through the star codes.

Straight Talk (T-Mobile) APN settings for MMS on (T-Mobile) Galaxy Note 2

also, I just ported my number from Straight Talk ATT to Straight Talk TMobile and my account still says "port in progess"....so Im wondering if that might have something to do with it....internet works fine...just not mms.

From my experience MMS won't work if you are on wifi.

Thank You,
Ill play around with that. I have heard sometimes when you port from ATT straight talk to Tmobile Straight talk some of the features take a while to kick in so im wondering if that might have something to do with it also. Did you just use the same settings Straight talk provided?

Att and Tmobile have different APN settings. They should have provided you one with your Tmobile sim card. If not then you can easily Google it.

try this: it works for me
APN Name. any
APN. wap.tracfone
proxy. blank
port. 8080
mmsc. http://mms.tracfone.com
mms proxy. blank
mms port. 8080
hope this works for u as well

Thank You Very MUCH!!! It's just good to know if/when someone finds "better" settings for the APN other thank the ones that were provided by Straight Talk...
Again,
Thanks Much.

That's basically the same settings on Tmobile straight Talk that they give you. Except for apn I put in straight talk and everything works just fine for me. I hope it works for you either way.

OH i definitly tried those settings I just encountered a problem with MMS when those reccomended settings were inputed....but I think part of the problem was the fact that I had just ported my number from Straight Talk ATT to Straight Talk TMobile. I thinik the MMS features get delayed a bit during this proces.....might be good to konw or keep in mind if anyone is trying to port Straight talk ATT to Straight Talk Tmobile or vice versa..

What does putting APN types default,supl,mms do? Also, Straight Talk card says to leave MMS port blank. Is it supposed to be 8080 or blank?

i wish someone would figure this out and just write a step by step guide. i have tried evry apn in the book or on the web and once i go back to m ST APN there is no signal except call, text. cant delete t mobs pan but if i highlight it i automatically get a 4g icon. ive spent 20 days with the non english speaking rep that i cant understand and still nothing. i now have a useless marble white note 2 home phone
yea i know i need to change my sig lol

Finally it works!
I know this is an old thread, but the settings suggestion from Geet dated 11-16-2012 definitely worked for me on my unlocked STAR N9500 Android phone with the Straight Talk SIM card installed!
Also, putting in the APN types as: default,supl,mms helped too. BE SURE there's no spaces, just commas separating the definers.
Thank You... Thank You! :good:
I was able to delete the T-Mobile APN by going into all field which showed info and making them blank, now when I tried to exit I was shown a message stating: "Can't leave Name Field Blank". So I just pressed the "HOME" button then did a restart and only the Straight Talk APN now shows.
Again... Thanks!

Yes, I bought the STBYOP pack for CMDA phones. No luck with instructions from the box.
Went to the website, entered cell IMEI and whatever else it asked for. Response = Your phone is not supported. #BullS!#T GN2 = Unlocked World phone.
Went back to the kit, found T-Moble sim, trimmed/cutoff the excess plastic. Easy enough with Swiss Army knife.
Replaced VZW sim with T-Mobile sim. Reboot. Waited a little for network activation and synch.
!!Had to get around my Avast Anti-Theft software. Unlock / Found the phone then Trust new sim.
!!Googled how to get rid of "Non Verizon Sim found" icon in notification area.
BAM! Up-n-running. No thanks to STBYOP customer support. Don't even think to get help from them. They will not think out-the-box to help you get right.
Big Up!!!

there is an app in the market that tells you what apn settings should be for each carrier. Also check to see if straight talk has their own app. Simple is affileated with them and it has its own app that basically installs the right apn settings for you.

Once you have reached your phone's APN (Access Point Name) settings, create a new APN with the following values.
APN Name: Straight Talk
APN: tfdata
Port: 80
MMSC:http://mms-tf.net
MLSProxy:mms3.tracfone.com
MMS Port: 80
Delete the current APN from your phone.Reboot your phone.

at&t, I dont get why people don't post that theyre different -_-

The above setting posted by triniman06 do work exceedingly well. Thank you very much sir! I am running an unlocked GSM phone with a T-mobile SIM card and Sraight Talk monthly plan. One thing I would like to add is that it takes time for the phone to reboot in th o the new APN settings. So, after rebooting your device, turn off wi+fi, turn on your mobile data, and give the new APN setting a good 5 minutes to work. After letting the new APN settings "sink into" my phone, my mobile data service (which is 4G) seems to run about as fast as my Wi-Fi service. ?

Update: Found out that during the firmware update/flash, my old APN was deleted and replaced with the fast.t-mobile APN and that's why it wasn't working. I reentered the old APN that I posted above and all is well again. However, I have seen some people saying that the new fast.t-mobile APN works fine for them on Straight Talk with no adjustments needed. I wonder why it only works for some and not all?
Good question! I found those settings on the net and they worked so I never bothered to mess with them. I took out the MMS proxy that you mentioned and it still works and actually seems a bit quicker to send/receive MMS. Thanks for catching that.

I am really curious about this too. I read about everyone on other MVNO's being able to use fast.t-mobile.com but with my straight talk sim the only thing that I can get data working with is the wap.tracfone apn settings. I am not in an area with LTE turned on yet though so no way to test anyway. I'd be curious if a straight talk user in an LTE enabled area already still gets LTE service with the wap.tracfone apn.

The fast.T-Mobile apn would not work for straight talk. If that was the case then you wouldn't have needed to change your apn in the first place. You need to use straight talk apn for straight talk. Just like you need T-Mobile apn for T-Mobile or at&t apn for at&t.

People were reporting that the fast.t-mobile was working with no changes needed on other MVNOs such as Simple Mobile. Just curious as to why it would work on others but not ST?

That appears to be the case I guess what we have to wait for is someone with a tmo straight talk sim in an lte area.

I believe people that said they were getting service e with the fast tmobile apn are full of ****. It doesn't make sense T-Mobile is not going to let anyone with there apn settings connect to there service. If that was the case anyone with a gsm phone e could simply change there Apn settings and use tmobiles data. My girl still uses straight talk and I put here sim card in my note 2 and no data at all with any apn execpt the service I pay for from straight talk and the straight talk apn settings.

I have been using Straight talk without any issues until the update. It cleared my APN i put it back in and all was well for a couple of days until today. I have nothing at all as far as data goes. I am running the normal ole straight talk apn. When I run T-mobile APN I get 4g data icon but nothing works. If i remove the wap from my straight talk apn i get an indicator I have data working again but it doesn't work. The moment I put the wap. back into the APN everything stops working. The weird part is how it was fine for a couple of days after the update and now today it isn't.

Exactly the same situation here and the ST APN is much much slower than the one posted in the first post of this thread. Does anyone have a resolution to this? Is it possible to undo the update?

Yeah I wouldn't even mind if my data was a little slower but today I have zero data. I had it yesterday after the update but today it just stopped working out of nowhere. If you change the APN to anything besides wap.tracfone it says it connects to 4g but obviously nothing happens. Talked to straight talk and they said it must be my phones fault and refused to do anything (typical). Hope someone can figure out how to get around this.

Well I let the phone sit overnight and it was working fine this morning with the same APN straight talk recommends.

You aren't crazy the same thing happened to me last night I think something was down I couldn't get any connectivity with straight talks apn if I switched to the tmo apn the 4g icon would come up but no data would go through after a few hours the straight talk apn started working again. I thought maybe I had finally used too much data, but reading on the straight talk forums last night it wasn't an isolated issue.

I had to ask because those settings were for "dumb phones" and I figured it would be slower. In fact, I don't even use port 8080 because in my inconclusive tests the speed tests were slower 90% of the time. Glad I was able to help in some way, lol. The LTE (fast.t-mobile.com) APN settings said I needed to sign into network.

How to get D855 to work with Rogers 4G or LTE

Hi Everyone,
I recently picked up a D855 in Hong Kong a couple days ago. I came back to Canada, plugged in my Rogers sim and it's not picking up 4G or LTE. I tried changing the LTE bands (4, 7, and 17) along with choosing GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto as my option. I've also updated my APN to the Rogers LTE settings and NONE of this works. I went on the forums and I followed the instructions to use the Flashtool to flash stock firmware hoping to work with Rogers 4G or LTE but this doesn't work! Here's the links I've tried using.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799647
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475045
I've put my D855 to download mode and tried changing the COM but the "port" doesn't show up in my device maanger.
Please HELP! :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

I would like to know this as well. I bought an d855 and trying to get 4G LTE on T-Mobile network. Changed APN to tmobile and still doesn't work.
I have H atm.

How did you manage to change apn? I created one but can't select it.:crying:

I accessed the hidden menu dialling 3845#*855#, and chose band 7.
Using following apn settings: (sorry I'm too new to allow links so remove the "[ ]")
Name: Rogers LTE
APN: ltemobile.apn
MMSC: [https]://mms[.]gprs[.]rogers[.]com
MMS proxy: 10.128.1.69
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 720
APN type: default,supl,mms
Lastly, installed LTE on/off from Google Play store and selected: LTE/GSM/WCDMA.

Phone is almost always on 4G except for areas it is not available. Usually switches back to 4G when leaving work, where I use Wi-Fi. If it defaults back to GSM/WCDMA, I just go into the LTE on/off app and re-select LTE/GSM/WCDMA.

Do you have a Rogers branded model or the 855 like the OP does. Because the 855 does not support the 1700/2100 bands that most of Rogers/Bell/Telus' LTE networks run on

D855. And no it doesn't support band 4 which is 1700/2100, but it does support band 7 2600

Will post a screenshot of my phone in a sec. Need to hide imei and no. Rogers supports band 7 but not sure about Bell/Telus.

Tmobile OP3 APN choices

Hey guys,
Just got an OP3 and I am having some issues with Access Point Names and getting the best signal.
Can anyone elaborate on what APN they are using to get the best speeds?
I am currently on fast.tmobile.com T-MOBILE US LTE
Signal drops out every couple minutes and has been terrible.
Thanks

I'm on T-Mobile US LTE IPv6, which works pretty well for me both inside and outside buildings. Signal doesn't ever fully drop but I often have 2-3 bars inside buildings. The only time I had signal issues (Calls dropped, etc) was when I first got the phone, but it's been good since the 3.2.X updates.
Where are you located?

I'm in California. Here are some screenshots of my settings.

have you tried tapping the top right menu button and hitting "reset to default"? I'm surprised that you don't have an IPv6 option. E
ither way though, the US LTE option should work just fine. Perhaps T-Mobile signal isn't as strong in California?

Restoring defaults did this

hmm, perhaps IPv6 just isn't available in your area. Try the LTE 270 option for a few days perhaps?

Will do, thanks!

Hi All, after several tries, I have made these settings on my OP3 and works great. I am hoping these work for You who are on T-Mobile connections.
You could create a new APN by going to Settings-> APNs-> +
You could edit an existing T-Mobile US LTE Entry or create new.
Here are the settings I have and works great everywhere in the US. I am currently in North East and have had these settings work great since a week now.
Name: T-Mobile US LTE
APN: fast.t-mobile.com

Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: H T T P S://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/MMS/wapenc
MMS Proxy: Not set
MMS Port: Not Set
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication Type: Not Set
APN Type: default,mms,supl,hipri,dun
APN Protocol: IPV4/IPV6
APN roaming protocol: IPV4/IPV6
APN Enable/disable: Make sure it says APN enable
Bearer: Unspecified
MVNO type: None
MVNO value: Not set
And save this setting.
Note: This APN setting may not default when You reboot your phone. Make sure you select this APN after a reboot.
Also note that to avoid an URL entry i have put h t t p s w/o spaces. please correct the entry accordingly.
Enjoy

Hey, thanks for this detailed explanation. Quick question though. Under APN type, several troubleshoots keep this at Internet+MMS, or default. Why does yours include generic, "hipr", "supl", and "dun". Also, what are those? Thanks in advance!
