Just got the phone not too long ago unaware that I was getting the international edition. I can connect to lte in some places, but overall its very slow. (in same area getting 2mbs on the 10 and 50-60mbs on my old samsung), anyone got any tips to fix this? I did remember reading something about it not liking Band 12. Currently its on stock but looking to root and go to nougat soon
*updated* updated to nougat, issue still persists/ got worse. Noticed much faster data speeds on hspa+ than on LTE
You could go soff and then flash the T-Mobile ruu and see if that helps.
T-Mobile is terrible in my area period.
Will that work with a non US device?
If you are in the US you could s-off and convert it to US Unlocked that should fix the problem.

I had the same thing with Tmo. Not just with the 10, but any phone. When connected to band 12 the data was crap so I ditched them

My wife and I are considering taking our tmobile phones over to AT&T. There both unlocked... Note 2 & sg3. Question I have is would I have to flash AT&T modems and roms to be able to fully utilize the new network? Just don't want to end up with bricks. AT&T already told me both devices unlocked will work fine on the network.
Wat I'm asking is if I can utilize the lte on the t-889 if I put it on AT&T? I found a bunch of threads with mixed responses.

It should work fine but the only problem is you wont have LTE

Why's that? AT&T says I will be able to use lte since my area has it. If not I probably won't do this. As I've said I've read mixed responses. Could I flash AT&T radios to utilize it?
It will give you weak service because att and t mobile run on different bands which is hardware related not software

I dunno about that as many said everything works but LTE. I have also read a few that says they have LTE enabled. That's what's confusing. I may go to AT&T tomorrow and have them test a sim before I decide to switch. I assume if I change to AT&T apn ill get better 4g speed at least. The limitation your speaking to its a locked radio for the t-889 that prevents LTE from being enabled currently.
I can't quickly tell, but if it has LTE support on band 17 (700MHz) then it will work. It's a T-Mobile phone so it has support on band 4 which AT&T only uses for a very small part of its LTE network.
Like you said the radio it comes with might be locked to not allow LTE. If you can flash an AT&T radio without issue then you'd be able to see if it works.
If I were to guess I'd say it would have the right band since it's basically the same phone that AT&T sells.
Does it at least get hspa+ and 3G? I can wait for lte.

The AT&T rep you spoke to definitely isnt informed on the hardware issue.
If you are switching over you should just sell those two phones you have and just buy new ones since its new activation Im sure you can get a good price on the phones

From what I understand its not hardware, it's because of a radio limitation currently. Lte isn't enabled yet on the t-889. That's why I asked if I could flash a AT&T radio. As long as I get 4g and 3G ill switch. The whole point was to save $$ on buying new devices.

Well as long as I get 3G and decent hspa+ speeds ill be happy. I'll be getting the s4 anyways when it comes out. I don't have lte anyways with tmobile lol.
Hello everyone.
I'm sorry if i write bad English because I'm not really good at it. Sorry in advance.
I have a ATT Note 2 which i bought from a friend and i unlocked it by using the free method from the forms.
When i first unlocked it my phone went to lte signal and my data was working fine and i was getting lte speeds.
I made a phone call which usually drops the single to HSPA+ aka 4g/3g but for some reason my phone doesn't go back to lte after.
I even called t-mobile they said they see my phone was on lte but they don't know why it's not going back to lte.
If anyone here running Tmobile sim in Att note 2 and still getting lte speeds after phone call is made please provide me some instructions as because I've tried everything possible i can from the forms. I've been trying for almost more then 3 to 4 months i still haven't found any solution to this problems.
If anyone can help me out that will be great.
Thank you and sorry for my bad English.
That's odd, mine is unlocked and I use Tmobile but I dont have those problems... maybe it's the modem, could be reception... sorry to head you're having issues dude.

I'd verify the APN and make sure you have the most recent modem flashed.

First things first, what solutions have you tried? If we don't know what you've tried it won't help much. Also what method did you use to unlock it?
If you used the free unlock then you have the J2 modem - that's the earliest stock AT&T modem. Since you were able to downgrade, I'm assuming you can upgrade too. Depending on your location (whether t-mobile is using the refarmed AT&T bands or using their own) you can use the latest modem or you can search for a t-mobile modem.
But speed is what matters, not what icon is displayed. Check the phone status under the settings menu to see the actual network type you're connected to.
I have had this phone since July and it has been great to me. I am as S-OFF and converted it to GPE and my LTE speeds have been degrading to the point of unbearable. I get around 3 mbps down .6 up. I have checked with ATT and they didn't see anything wrong with my account. They gave me a new sim as well and checked thins from their end and nothing has changed. I tried restoring it back to stock and that did not work at all. Before I jump to the conclusion that this was a hardware fault, is there anything left for me to try?

Hi
i have a couple of questions here , how can i access USB settings on n910p
cyanogenmod rom 5.1.1
becuse i want to try this on it .
and i want to know is the phone hardware locked when it comes to the frequency it supports ?
becuse we have LTE B3 (1800) in my Country , and the phone supporte LTE band 2(1900), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 12(700), 17(700)
so i want to try and unlock the 4g service if it's possible.
Let me give you an insight about your query...
1. I'm too using an unlocked N910P with a GSM SIM like you where the 4G bands present in my country are not supported by this phone's hardware.
2. I've tried the post that you are referring to in the past but wasn't able to do anything because the software QSPT couldn't find my phone. Tried several times but with no success.
3. You can access USB Settings using Iodene Tools or Galaxy Tools. It has now become a paid software so the developer has removed it from XDA. (Search on XDA to find some threads related to it. You might get help from someone).
In short, it's almost next to impossible to unlock the bands as there's a high possibility that some tempering must have been done with the motherboard to unlock it, especially if the phone you got came with some Chinese firmware on it.
You can always try to check if it works for you or not.

Thank you for your explanations. I have something to ask.
I bought N910P. It was on Lollipop and 4G/LTE network was fine. But then I upgraded to Marshmallow via Odin. And now, there's only 3G with setting already to 4G/LTE. What is this problem related to?
Thanks.

See, the 4G icon that you witnessed after purchasing N910P was just a false indication. In reality, the network was 3G. Even when I got this phone, it was on Lollipop and it used to show 4G and the funny part was that I wasn't even using 4G then.
I've seen many users getting confused regarding this matter.
The only option available is that the network providers of your country start 4G services in the band that is supported in US (which again is highly u).

That 4G icon you were seeing was just HSPA+ but not actually 4G. If you see LTE then you can assume that you are on actual 4G.

I have a rooted verizon phone. Haven't updated it at all to more recent updates, all the sudden my entire data signal and call signal are off. I got no service.
Anyone else this happen to?
Is the only way to fix this to flash back to stock to get updates?
Fastboot images
Google: pixel or pixel XL factory images download the image and flash it to your device. (Marlin or sailfish)
You will need to setup ADB and Fastboot drivers then you can flash stock. Do not relock your bootloader and if you do I am not responsible!
Also make sure things boot up.
Is everything ok with your sim?

You mean as in your about phone says Out of service and your data does not connect or you have the bars bug where no white bars in the status bar at the top? If you look at your signal strength, it should display your actual signal strength in dbm.
Thanks for your replies.... turns out Verizon had a long term outage. Took 2 days for them to fix it and they continuously denied having an outage till I pointed out that they sent me a message telling me they had an outage that was being worked on. SMH
Actually I talked to google and they are aware of the issue, related to band 4. They are "actively working on it" and plan on a resolution soon ™.
The rep claimed it's only on some devices, but that's BS.

Weird. Probably is a Verizon side bug and google one then.
I just had this problem start up today. The status bar shows LTE, but I can't even get enough speed to run a speed test. I noticed it slowing down over the course of about 15 minutes and when I restarted it, it was dead slow. Interestingly, phone calls are fine. I tried turning airplane mode on and off as well. No dice.
Thanks Verizon.
Edit: just got enough signal for a speed test.
Down: 0.46
Up: 0.1
Also, I'm stock, unrooted.
Upon upgrading to 7.1.1, i have worse signal on Verizon with my Google Store purchased XL. I feel like flashing the old radio back to boost signal.

I'm sure if there was a Verizon Network Tech or Google engineer they could give the actual cause for this issue but that will never happen.
Basically the best thing you can do is call Google and call Verizon and complain to put pressure on them to fix it faster. I currently have a ticket in with Verizon and Google.
