Re: ALL LTE and update discussions here

I'm guessing that they are trying to do a mass rollout of LTE, not a partial. They probably have 1 or 2 towers up in every market to test hand offs and signal etc. They probably wouldn't fully unleash it unless you have an engineering simple card.

I had weird data interruptions while I was at work the other day, same thing happened before they upgraded from umts to hspda, and from hspda to hspa+. Or maybe 20 people were streaming netflix next to the tower, who knows?

Re: ALL LTE and update discussions here

I thought that they hadn't actually turned on the lte yet? I thought it was just an update to enable lte on our devices in preperation for when they "flip the switch" which I also thought was going to be on the 24th?

I'm running the international version OS and under Network mode there is no LTE option. Just GSM/WCDMA, GMS only and WCDMA only. Is there a patch for this? I installed the new radio already and changed the AP settings to the LTE one.

Re: ALL LTE and update discussions here

You are correct. They will be turning on the lte on the 24th I believe

I flashed the new image with mobile Odin. Works fine but battery life seems worse. I was also using a non stock replacement battery. I just replaced it with the stock battery an am topping it off now. My TMobile Note2 has always been a battery pig compared to my old N7100 and the Verizon version. Have not been able to figure out why. I'm sure searching for LTE when there is no LTE does not help. I just toggled back to 2/3/4G only.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] inspron:
There are so many Q&A in various threads about Tmobile's LTE on the Note 2. Is there a way we can pin some facts at the top threads in a Q&A format?

Facts (to the best of my understanding):

Sporadic NYC and Vegas LTE signal, no consistent sighting.

Tmobile has not turned on LTE in any area that is consistently usable by the public.

Press release by Tmobile indicate they will turn on some LTE on or before March 26th.

Device:

Only Nexus 4 and Note 2 are officially working on Tmobile LTE

T889 Note 2 4.1.2 Update contains LTE (Modem & Firmware)

AOKP Roms LTE compatibility??? Modem flash only??

i317 (ATT) Note 2 with AWS mod is already compatible with Tmobile LTE - I think

Sim:

No new sim required. Existing sim is compatible.

APN:

No new APN is required.

Op, please add/correct/revise as necessary.

Re: ALL LTE and update discussions here

Battery life is dramatically improved for me since the update. I'm already past 24 hours with 7 hours of on screen time and 30 percent left. This is with the lte still enabled. Amazing!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hurrpancakes:
The Nexus 4 does not "officially" support T-Mobile LTE.

It has the radio capable of it, but it is not an official LTE device.

noob here

im in chicago and got an update from Tmobile last night for my GN2

when it restarted my device it showed the new animation showing LTE

i went into settings >network mode and it is selected on "Automatic LTE/4G/3G/2G"

so does this mean im on LTE network?

current issue i am having after update

i was able to swipe from left to right on my contacts in my text messages to make a call and it doesnt work anymore

this function still works in my phone logs and contact list but not in my text messages

also who or where do i report any bugs after this update?

do i call Tmobile?

thanks for any help

Not sure if this is known but...

If I'm not getting LTE, I can go and dial *#0011# and sit there and watch until it switches through the networks and then settle at LTE.

The 4G LTE icon comes up in the notification bar and I can run a couple tests on LTE before it goes away.

I thought it might have been luck going into *#0011# but I did it 4 times in a row when I wasn't getting LTE speeds beforehand.

This is with *#2263# on 1. Automatic

I live in santa ana and was having issues with 4g getting 0.00 download speeds. I called Tmo and asked about this and they could not find anything, perhaps LTE soon in Santa ana. They did mention Anaheim being the next LTE market to launch. I work in Anaheim so i'm excited for this.

Has there been a general consensus on the ACN setting: IPv4, IPv6, or both?

It seems that it comes with just IPv4 as default and plenty of people are getting LTE and the Tmobile employees at the store today had it on IPv4 as well.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Walzbeer:
Really? The sensorly maps show it dark purple there.

They seem to be working on it though. Earlier today I noticed the lte icon in my house. Which is amazing, because every other carrier sucks at my house. Even before the lte rollout I would have full bars of "4G" and it would only yield pathetic Sprint like speeds.

Then the lte disappeared (only 1 signal bar) and then came back and now it's gone again and I'm on edge.

I'm sure in a couple weeks ago we'll be in good shape.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] aznmode:
Tmobile is a tease. I got the same thing at home last night. The lte showed up for like 10 seconds but by the time I could test speed it went away. I did notice my signal bar went down to zero when it happened.

But if you're on edge you should call them and ask for a signal booster. It's free. My reception inside my house goes to edge a lot but not outside. After the signal booster I get full 4g bars inside my house. It doesn't help though that the speed went to crap. But still better than edge. You do need to get at least some 4g in some parts of the house for you to get approved. I guess you could just say you do even if you don't. I get some 4g in the living room.

I haven't seen this discussed, but I've noticed that whenever you make a call, the phone switches from lte to normal 4g. Is this normal behaviour? Can the lte not support simultaneous voice and data?

Yes that's normal. CS fallback. Calls are handled over UMTS/HSPA. That air interface supports voice and data at the same time. VoLTE is not available yet.

1. Have a capable device like Nexus 4 or Note 2

2. Have the right APN settings

3. Set the device to LTE Only mode (You won't be able to receive/ make calls while testing)

4. Manually search for Networks.

5. If T-Mobile is listed, keep trying to connect

6. Have a lot of patience, as it requires many, many tries to connect

That's it.
