Freaking wow! That's crazy. I hope that is what all NYC will be covered in.

The image of 31 down I posted is the fastest I've seen in NYC. In one isolated corner of lower Manhattan. My everyday speeds average 12 down. The test site image that milan03 posted are not production speeds in NYC. I think my Note 2 would blow up if it got hit with those speeds. I never get over 5 at my desk on the 23rd floor of a glass and metal office building. At home in Brooklyn, I'm lucky to see 2 down. I usually turn off LTE when I'm home. Makes no since wasting battery if I'm getting 3 to 4G speeds.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] milan03:
Other than that test site, NYC is a 5Mhz LTE market, peaking at about 35Mbps down. I'm seeing those peaks in Astoria, UWS, midtown, etc. Averaging 10-15Mbps.

Also, there is a nasty rate limit on HSPA+42 at 15.5Mbps. I can't shake it off, I think it's the provisioning on T-Mobile side, I can't break 15Mbps all of a sudden no matter what APN I use.

I think on August 1st T-Mobile and MetroPCS are combining their AWS spectrum into one 2x10Mhz network, so we should be seeing those crazy 73Mbps peaks across NYC. :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rhiannon224:
I am in a 5 mhz market and speeds are improving. Best LTE speeds I've seen so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
I see the 15mbps rate limit as well. Not present on my wife's GS3, only on my Note 2. Once in a great while it'll break that 15.8 and hit in the 20's. My highly unscientific gut feeling is that it is associated with the modem firmware starting from the initial LTE modem release.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] milan03:
See I'm thinking new T-Mobile provisioning codes. This started happening the day I bought GS4 at the T-Mobile store. Prior to that, I was peaking north of 25Mbps when on HSPA+42.

I think the code gets added automatically with the phone purchase.

Hi. I'm a little confused about what download speeds I should be getting. Is there much of a difference between 4G and 4G LTE?

While my phone was indicating 4G, I got about 30mbs. This happened when using the Moon rom that is designed for the 7105 version

of GN2 but flashed on my Tmobile phone. On the other hand, when I have seen LTE on the screen, same location using my

TMobile rom, I don't recall getting much faster speeds... So am I really getting LTE on the Moon rom and it just doesn't indicate it?

Thanks!

Wow! Same here in Columbus Ohio. I notice I have a low signal on LTE with idle. But when I start using my data it drops ans cycles. I've never seen edge! If I put it on the apn sans lte my 4g data is consistent. I wonder why it stuggles holding onto lte then if it cant it cycles down all data thresholds?! Omitting lte it doesn't cycle like that. I was also out in new albany and got consistent lte speed connection. Out in central ohio it is a crap shoot hit an miss non existent in my home. I blame the iPhone satire

Noob Question I know but having problem figuring it out

Ok so I have an unlocked Note II and I am going to be traveling to SE asia where the LTE 4G is on the 1900 and the 2100 frequency, I can get into test mode on my T889 but I can't figure out where it is that i can see what bands it supports in 4g to see if it will even work over there on 4G speeds.

Can someone help me out here figuring this out? If it doesnt work i may sell ti and get the International version,

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nviz22:
I just sent my Note II for repairs to Samsung. Apparently, a T-Mobile associate felt my phone was defective and T-Mobile refused to replace it without running baseline tests on my antennas for my phone. So I went the Samsung root. When the associate tested his Note II to mine, he got faster speeds and a latency around 100 while I got a latency in the 1000's. Is anyone suffering from performance issues in Miami, Florida? I get terrible LTE speeds.

I am currently on the $30 prepaid plan on my umlocked Att GN2 and i got LTE here in Jacksonville FL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
About on par with my Note 2 on the same plan in Brooklyn, NYC. The most I've reached was 30 Mbps, but that was once ever and rare considering the number of people tightly packed into any given area. On average it's 15-18 Mbps. In Manhattan it's slower at around 8 Mbps, which is fine in heavy areas like Times Square.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] abrcrmdl23:
Yeah I'm in Columbus too and I force my phone to stay on hspa+. The lte is really spotty over by westerville and north east Columbus. At my house I get full bars of hspa but only 1 of lte. The speed is about the same but the lte just kills my battery because it is so weak. Around town unless I am right under a tower 1 bar of lte is about all I get as well. It destroys my battery and the data cycles a lot causing glitches in my streaming when I have the auto lte mode turned on. I get a pretty consistent 5-15 down with 60-80 ping times on my hspa+ and better signal strength now that they started to install the new antennas in my area. Unfortunately Columbus is a 5mhz market so until they install more of the new antennas and boost the range of the lte I for one am staying with hspa+for the time being. It works just as well if not better most places and doesn't kill battery life like weak lte signal does.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Onemoa:
Yes T-Mobile does have true 4G LTE. They just started there LTE network so it's not as big as other carriers yet. But it's getting there fast.

There's 4G and most people associate that with HSPA. It's not LTE but it can be very fast and reliable.

Right now everyone wants 4G LTE though. As it's the fastest you can get. It's faster then most people's home internet.

The only thing I don't like able LTE is it uses more battery life then 4g and Wifi. But other then that it's a great network.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MotoDefier:
On the contrary, my T999L gets better battery when connected to my LTE than even wifi, it could have something to do with the LTE modem being integrated Into the MSM8960 BOARD I'm not sure, I just like it, I guess tmo and samsung really stepped up their game for this device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] nviz22:
Wow, my speeds in my area for LTE are horrible. I see ranges from 11-26 down and 7-10 up. Idk how people are getting 30 up and 20 down?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Onemoa:
The Note 2's LTE Radio is also on bored.

I'm just saying my experience. But it's due to such spotty LTE.

I have a great Wifi connection in my home. Full signal everywhere but in the upstares closet.

When I'm on LTE I get 1 bar in my home. There is also no place I stay for more then an hour or so that I get at lest 3 bars. Let alone 4 bars.

When I do have a solid 3 or 4 bar's I get great LTE battery life. Still not as good as at home but I haven't really been able to test LTE battery life for long periods of time.

So from my experience. When I'm on LTE my battery life is worse then at home on Wifi or on 4g since I get at least 3 bars on 4g..

I hope T-Mobile adds more LTE tower's around my area and around the island so I can turn LTE on without worrying about pointless battery drain..

You can allow you phone to automatically search for LTE along with 4G 3G EDGE or have it exclude LTE (or even forcing it to run only on 2g) by going into settings and selecting from an options screen.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Asquared:
You can modify your Mobile networks settings to only receive 4G/3G/2G (and not LTE) signals by doing the following:

Go into "Settings" -- "More settings" -- "Mobile Networks" -- "Network mode" -- choose the "Automatic 4G/3G/2G" button

This has helped me save battery power in areas where I know there's little or no LTE signal, as it prevents my phone from seeking a non-existent or very low LTE signal.

Because LTE is fast? Duh. You're also loading non-HD video. You said it yourself. Hola just caches things. Do you know what that means? It saves things you've already loaded on your phone. So instead of re-downloading things, it loads what it can from your phone instead.

T-Mobile just needs to work on building more LTE tower's. In the areas that are already set up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
What he said. Spotty coverage in my area kinda sucks. If I am in a moving car, snagging a LTE signal is problematic. It's about holes in the LTE network. There also seems be issues with how long the GN2 takes to snag a signal. I can drive within 75 ft of an LTE tower and not catch an LTE connection for 45 seconds or longer (sometimes not at all).

LTE is great when it works and has a strong signal (I live in a 10mhz market). It's crap in between sites.

The 45 seconds is because your build prop has hsxpa=1 or 2 if you change it to 5 it will switch almost instantly

Hsxpa is the algorithm used by your phone to detect signal strength from multiple sources and negotiate a bandwidth lease with the more reliable connection, if you change it to 5 it will switch to the stronger signal, even if its slower, so it has its drawbacks too.

LTE is better in my Home now. I only get 1 bar but it doesn't keep switching back to HSDPA.

T-Mobile really does need to put more tower's up though. Since there are still allot of places that you can't get LTE.

Other then that, once T-Mobile finishes expanding there LTE network. It will definitely be the best. I also notice that normal 4g/HPSA is back to it's normal speeds. I'm getting 14mbps down and 2 mbps up. So it is good to know that once LTE is fully set up you get your good HSPA speeds back. LTE is still spotty, just not as bad.

The only issue I find with T-Mobile is they say 2 years is to long to wait for a new phone. But if you're an existing customer and just upgraded a year ago. You need to wait another year to change your contact so you can upgrade. I find that to be BS I've been with them for 12 and a half years back before T-Mobile was T-Mobile.. So now I'm stuck on a subsidized plan paying more then the new customers and I still can't even upgrade.

Re-read the map there poindexter. 4g at sensorly goes by SENSORLY's definition which is that 4g = LTE. Period. Do some HSPA+ mapping yourself if you think i'm full of it. You'll see that HSPA+ shows up on the 3g map.

4g maps at sensorly = LTE.

I run sensorly all the time. I did most of the first mapping data in Spokane, Wa. as well as Tri Cities, Wa and areas east of Tacoma (all are 5mHz markets BTW). I love this stuff.

While I can't tell where your St. Louis areas specifics are, I can say that LTE gets mapped in purple and UMTS/HSPA gets mapped in green. The link indicated pops into the LTE map for tmo.

Keep mapping, it's better for everyone.
