So why are the registries allocated for LTE and why is the device equipped with LTE radios if it won't support LTE? Lol

What you are saying makes sense, from a technical standpoint. But not logically.

Also, ATT S3? Yeah, uses LTE. Same board. Same chip. So you are wrong. Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jgalan14:
Actually they have a different chip, I think the tmobile version doesn't support LTE but the note 2 does

You couldn't be more wrong. T-Mobile even just confirmed the GS3 will be LTE capable with a software update. LTE has been in tmo phones since the GS2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] milan03:
Yeah well actually I'm right. ATT has a similar board, but it has proper Power Amps and Filters for LTE band 4, 17.

T-Mobile version doesn't. so there you have it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cobraboy85:
Ummm thank you. Finally.

And whoever said the ATT and T-Mobile s3 have "different chips" couldn't have been more wrong either.

---------- Post added at 01:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 AM ----------

Cool let's see some documentation to support that, then. Because when I bought my T-Mobile s3 back in July, when I worked for T-Mobile, they told us the s3 was going to support their LTE roll out.

Also, go ahead and explain why the ATT s3 was designed to support LTE but the T-Mobile version was not when both companies had clearly outlined plans to implement such a network. And both devices are exactly identical on a hw level. The only thing varying is the firmware.

Go ahead I'll wait for your reply with proof because you won't have any whatsoever. You are sorely misinformed.

Technical documents. About the T-Mobile s3. From Samsung, from Qualcomm, from T-Mobile. Wherever you can dig them up.

We'll all wait anxiously. In the meantime T-Mobile has confirmed otherwise to me (and other employees of mine who purchased the device) and others on this board who have owned the device.

Again, correction, you are WRONG. deal with it.

T-Mobile’s LTE Launch In Las Vegas Will Be Followed With Kansas City

http://www.tmonews.com/2013/01/t-mobiles-lte-launch-in-las-vegas-will-be-followed-with-kansas-city/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dkb218:
Seems you couldn't be more wrong...

They did confirm it however, not on the current batch of GS3's.

" ...the new version of the Galaxy S III will require a “small” software update to enable once the company’s LTE network is live."

If the current GS3 could do this why bring out a LTE version?

http://www.tmonews.com/2013/01/t-mobile-announces-revamped-galaxy-s-iii-with-lte/

"Though the Galaxy S III that's presently being offered by T-Mobile does not support LTE, the slightly newer Galaxy Note II does; Ray tells us that it'll require a "small" software update to enable it once it's available. No other LTE-capable phones have been announced by T-Mobile yet, but it's likely that we'll see some announcements as the first markets go live across the first and second quarter of the year."

Kansas City is next after Las Vegas...

www.tmonews.com/2013/01/t-mobiles-lte-launch-in-las-vegas-will-be-followed-with-kansas-city/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] milan03:
They never announced that. What they did announce was that new LTE capable SGS3 versions are coming out to T-Mobile stores shortly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] shinkinrui:
When I asked about why the sgs3 had the option for lte internally at T-mobile (I work at a call center) I was told that our version has support for some other lte band but not our future aws lte network. Didn't make a lot of sense to me, but I just accepted it at the time. Now I'm questioning that...

But, If the current sgs3 DOES have aws lte on board, why not just say so like we did with the note 2? Why the fanfare about a "new" sgs3 that does support it? I suppose it's possible that all our sgs3 models are actually the same and it's just a software update. Maybe the lines of communication got the details about lte on the sgs3 wrong. Lord knows there have been such mistakes made in the past.

Anyway, hope we get a definitive answer soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Supermighty:
Marketing. It's more exciting to have something NEW (yay!!) to say and show off then a simple software update. It could be that the new SGS3 isn't really new, but it gives them a chance to show off and have a party.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dkb218:
I gave you 2 credible sources that prove the current SG3 does not have what's needed to run T-Mobile LTE. Can you provide some information to the contrary? I await your sources but I think I'll be waiting awhile. :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cobraboy85:
Third party blogs are not credible sources. I worked at T-Mobile. And was told from higher ups it was A) equipped with LTE radios and B) would be utilizing their LTE network when it came out this year.

I am your credible source.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] awrnsmn:
I also heard from tmobile that the current sgs3 does NOT have LTE. I was going to get one for my wife, but they said it would be better to wait for the new sgs3 with LTE capabilities. I guess we'll all find out soon enough.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dkb218:
Well there you have it. You worked for T-Mobile. Of course you wouldn't know if the device was LTE capable. If your "Higher-Ups" are anything like some of the in store CS reps I've spoken to, I'd suggest you get your information from blogs from now on.

Every credible source out there - including the CTO of the place you worked at, Neville Ray - says you need the NEW SG3 for LTE to function on T-Mobile. Not sure what more credible source you need than that. Won't work with the current stock. Sorry.

What's crazy is the HTC Amaze is LTE ready for T-Mobile and that phone is old in the tooth.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cobraboy85:
Hahahahahahaha.... that's a good point.

Actually, now that you put it that way. I need to slap myself a few times in the face. Lol

Derp
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Markor13:
I was in a Tmobile store yesterday and was talking to the rep about T Mobile flipping the switch here in Vegas for LTE, and she made it very clear that the Note 2 was the only LTE ready phone. Regardless if the SG3 has it or not, who cares this is the Note 2 section.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] djmobil2:

In wondering how fast tmobile will peak at. And we get capped

For sure. No matter what pav you have.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmwils3:
That information is incorrect. The note 2 is NOT the only LTE ready phone on Tmobile. The Lumia 810 is also LTE ready, requiring a software update to activate the necessary hardware, just like us.

Then again, who cares about WP8, lmao. Its pretty slick looking, but lacking in apps and certain key features to make it worth it to me. Maybe someday...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zombtastic:
Our note 2s have the lte capabilities? I was always unsure of that... I never did dig too much into it to find out though, seeing as T-mobile didn't have lte anyhow.

So, when available, are our unlimited 4G plans going to become unlimited lte plans or will there be a sort of upgrade?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Markor13:
The Note 2 does have LTE we are just waiting on Tmobile to push out the update to turn it on. LTE "should" be out any day now in Las Vegas following Kansas. As for our unlimited 4G plan I have no clue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] e-motion:
I know T-mobile said end of January at CES but seeing as the LTE S3 and z10 aren't coming out until second half of March, I bet we won't see our LTE update until then...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wizlon:
Wow, incredibly fast speed. I get around 10.5Mbps down and 3Mbps up here in Coachella Valley CA. Still pretty good, but you blow that away with your stats.

However, I note when I go on travel I frequently get incredibly LOUSY speeds ("E" network connects at times), so their service is still spotty. Hopefully, things will improve, but I suspect their priority is rolling out LTE onto additional network, rather than enhancing the crappy extended ones. Christiansburg VA was terrible, and even at Atlanta airport, it was poor and even NO SIGNAL at times. There are times I am regrettably really pleased to have my company iPhone with me on Verizon.

Hopefully it'll improve with time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlczl:
WOW! That's the fastest speed test I've seen other than Verizon LTE GNex phones. I wonder if that's LTE and we really don't need an OTA update to unlock it on our phones.

I just bought an AT&T note 2. I plan to unlock it and enable the AWS HSPA+ t-mobile bands. Since it's has all the LTE bands T-Mobile and AT&T use (700,1700, and 2100) I shouldn't have a problem once T-Mobile activates LTE right?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Poke_N_PDA:
OK, I'm in the OKC area now and this is what I know speeds had been slowed on my Galaxy Nexus. Yesterday, I got in an AT&T note 2 and unlocked it for T-Mobile. I haven't done the 1700/2100 hack to get T-Mobile HSPA+ yet, but low and behold I was getting 4G when put in my sim. Looks like some areas of OKC have thee 1900 refarm. I talked with a store rep and he told me this.

Some areas have the refarm, but still in process. LTE was being said for late first quarter, but he's thinking it will be more April sometime. I'm thinking the 1900 refarm is going hand in hand with LTE to free up space in the 1700/2100 band. I'm guessing most areas will have the majority of their HSPA on 1900 after the full transition.

My only question now is am I getting 42+ on 1900 without the 1700/2100 hack and if not will I get it after the hack?

Radios and spls should be flashed via fastboot when possible or this situation is easy to come to. If you can not get into bootloader or recovery or have adb access then your only option is JTAG.
