As long as your on the T889UVBMB4 baseband version aka modem version you should be ok and pickup LTE when its available. You can download it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2102380 and flash the zip in TWRP or CWM recoveries if your on a custom rom or just want the new modem and don't want to change rom's. Hope this helps :)

Interesting comment someone made in the cm10 thread you can still get 4g with the old apn

No. I'm on stock mb6 which is a n7105 rom, and it goes from hspa+ to 4g.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] skater4690:
On cm10 it displays h+ for hspa+.... With lte it displays 4g. Try it out yourself. And I mention lte with the old APN. For me the speeds are better and the connection seems more stable than with the other APN.and before anyone else says its not lte I pulled close to 30mb off of this setup. Hspa + can't do that and has never come close to that in Houston. Anyone else able to use the old APN and still get lte besides me a cashy?

I live in Mesa AZ and I haven't seen an lte signal yet. I had the official rom from teshxx and never saw lte so I installed Jedi Master and installed the modem. Still no lte even when I am in an area that others have said has it. Should I be worried?

Edit: Finally I get an lte signal and it is a quarter mile from my house. So unfortunately my phone works good. It's T-mobiles Lte that is horribly sucky. With Verizon, if you were in town you had Lte.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] evanladoux:
They should have said they're secretly testing LTE & a handful of customers might be able to connect. NOT that they have LTE up and running. THEY DON'T

unless you think 99% excluded qualifies. I think they don't want to miss ONE day's worth of new customers they can hook by claiming LTE now active.

Cant wait till LTE hit San Diego
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RonnieRuff:
What did you really expect? A flip of a switch and the network is instantly LTE? They only listed it for a few cities and 2 devices. I am sure quite a few users are connecting in those cities but anyone that has been in the technology business knows these things are not instant.

I seen my 4G say 4G LTE today in Chesapeake Va but as soon as I left the area it went back to just saying 4G.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] aznmode:
Isnt Sprints roll out included the entire city or atleast majority of it when they announce LTE for that city not just 2%? I'm not sure how ATT and Verizons roll out though. It's just a bit deceiving to announce a city is LTE but just have 1 very small area of it enabled. So I'm with evanladoux on this one.

It wouldnt be such a big deal for me if they atleast kept my 4g speeds the way it was (avg 6mbps or higher). I get lucky now if i get 2mbps at home. Reason I left Sprint due to low data speeds so now I'm back to where I started.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RonnieRuff:
What defines a city? The city limits? The surrounding suburbs? And again it is two devices? Where does the 2% number come from. (I think I know)

It's just the very beginning stages dude. If you want good service get at&t.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] aznmode:
Haha ya and pay another ETF. I just paid Sprint that when I left them and I'm only with tmobile 6 months. So I really don't have a choice right now but to just wait it out. But you have to understand my frustration though. I went with tmobile, paid $389 (costco) for the s3, paid sprints ETF, just so I can have better data speeds and to just end up now with what I was getting with sprint. It's been a few months now since my speeds went to crap. And I bought a note 2 a month ago too which I'm hoping I will keep over the s3 once it can take advantage of LTE.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RonnieRuff:
ATT has its issues as well, like NYC. All carriers have strengths and weaknesses. I got good service around the country with Verizon but they are overpriced. Sprint could never bill me correctly. All in all I like TMO I just don't expect overnight transformation to LTE.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] evanladoux:
Its not a matter of unfufilled expectations. I'm not actually upset. I don't appreciate my time being wasted via announcements that may be technically true for some but predominantly misleading or false for most of the recipients. Ckassic corp speak.

Anyway, I see YOUR point and have no problem with what you said. I just don't share your view.

The issue, in my view, is a matter of congruency, consistency & integrity: TMO SAID they were flipping the switch on March 26th as an official roll out. Being that they announced this to the world, instead of qualifying it to the relative handful who now get full LTE, I say their delivery falls short of the anticipation they evoked in many more than myself. But it is what it is.

This conversation is complete for me. Thanks for your comments.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xcrazydx:
Yeah, at&t just works in way more places. I wish I could go to T-Mobile for the cheaper rates, but their service sucks. If I'm gonna have a phone it has to work and get good speeds. So I pay more for a phone that works all the time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RonnieRuff:
Depends on the area. TMO works for me. I get 20MB down w/o LTE. Ask people in NYC about ATT. Its all individual based on where you are.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] reddragon022:
I been with TMO for quite some time now too. I have a Sensation 4g and wife has a Note II. Im always doing comparisons with her phone when travel around my area (Warner Robins, GA). She gets around 14Mbs while the highest I got on my phone was like 6Mbs. But where we live is around 2Mbs for both phones. But anyways, I work on the Air Force base around here and basically I agree with you two..whenever I go inside a hanger or building doing whatever, I literally have to stay near the door and hopefully it has a window if not I can barely be on "E" then 5 mins later no signal. The Verizon & Sprint guys here has excellent speeds/signal that made me really want to switch a month ago (they can be anywhere in the hanger/building with no bs- I'm like OMFG while im standing in the rain to get signal, lol) but I'm waiting for S4 to see how this LTE will turn out but no idea when Atlanta GA will get it but hell I don't live there so no telling when my area will get it either :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vouty:
I have been using a TMO phone as my only phone (no landline) since 2002, so I know a little about the quality of their coverage. In the beginning it was spotty, but has been fine in all metro and suburban areas I've been through in the Los Angeles area and up and down the west coast for at least 6 or 7 years now. Also, TMO was the first (and to my knowledge) the only carrier to seamlessly integrate wifi-calling into nearly every phone they offer. Wifi calling works perfectly and is also is handling texting at the same time, so no problem with SMS either. Last 4 yrs I've been living near the mountains in a near dead-zone for cell coverage and use wifi calling every day without any problems. I would agree that Verizon & Sprint have better overall networks than TMO, but, man, you pay a small fortune for their monthly plans compared to TMO.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nate Rules:
I've been trying to figure out why the only place I can get lte is at the shipping center by me. I mean I live less than a tenth of a mile from it but I can only get reception in the shopping center. I just figured it out. There is a corporate tmobile store and a Walmart here. So you can go in there and they will show you a strong signal. Of course it will be gone as soon as you leave the parking lot. Real shady tmobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] reddragon022:
Yes of course, that's one thing I forgot to mention. All the Verizon guys minds goes blank when I ask them how do they pay. Then I tell them mines with simple answers like unlimited everything and even data with 3 phones and my price. Don't get me wrong but I love the same bill bill but coverage has been killing me since I got a job on the base here, 6 years ago!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xcrazydx:
And that is a deal breaker. If you're paying for a phone service and it doesn't get service or its really slow, there is no point in having it.

If you don't travel and get good service with T-Mobile in your area, that's awesome. I really wish I could use them. I pay too much but I need my phone to work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rootyourphones:
Its cause they are using a repeater lmao tmobile doesn't work at my house at all no signal. Verizon and at&t are the best in my neighborhood specially full bars of lte and download speeds are ridiculously fast like 30 to 45 down and 16 up .average is 34 for me so far.

You all get excellent connection speeds compared to me. I get about 1 to 2 mbps here in El Paso, TX. The fastest I ever got was 15 mbps. I think there might be alot of people on the towers here. For some reason everybody I know has tmobile and is always downloading or on some social networking website. I hope with the lte I at least start averaging 10 mbps. That would be my dream come true. Anything above that is just amazing. Haha. Come tmobile! HURRY UP and "flip the switch".

Is hspa really that bad? I mean for everyone to complain is alittle over the top considering we were all just happy as clams in the mud before all this lte crap started. Im in Charlotte and we dont have lte. At least I don't know if we do or not yet. But I could care less. Hspa speeds are very acceptable. And I use 40 gigabytes plus every month of data.

You use 40gb of data each month and couldn't care if your data speeds "could" increase by 50%? :screwy:

Although I agree that hspa+ is more than acceptable, how do you go through 40 gigs a month? That's more than 1 a day, my phone would have to live on its charger.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RonnieRuff:
But the reality it right now the speeds are 14-30MB DOWN. I get 18 now. All that said your response is misleading.

The weak link is always the server providing the content to are downloading.

Even if it was 50% faster.... The webpage will load in 1 sec. instead of 2.

But the reality is you can never download a 33MB file in one second on LTE not even 9MB in one second. It is all relative and totally limited by the hardware and load on the server.

So.... I am patient. Life goes on. Stop and smell the roses.

It used to be great (6 to 10 mbps) for me but since LTE being rolled out in san Jose(which I've not seen yet) , I get lucky if I get 2mbps at home now. Majority of the time I get 1 to 1.5mbps.

I just upgraded my Note 2 to fully support 4G LTE. However, there is no 4G LTE anywhere I go. I'm in the San Francisco East Bay Area. The way tmobile representatives were describing it when selling my phone a few weeks ago is I should have LTE really, REALLY soon; giving me the impression there's one big ON switch. I recently dumped Sprint for tombile since I was tired of waiting for 4G LTE on sprint's nationwide roll out.

If Tmobile is going to just start their 4G LTE rolling the way Sprint does (one city at a time), it could take at least a year or two from now before most of us have 4 LTE capable towers in our area. I hope I'm completely wrong; and, will see 4G LTE any day now.

It appears when they say what cities they will have LTE, they actually mean only one tower; not all towers in the city. I'm not sure how they plan to roll out LTE at this pace.

I can't wait for it to come to the LA area. The LA area which, by the way, no one I know ever gets LTE speeds. From any network. I'm in the IT group here at work with Verizon, ATT and TMo users who haven't ever noticed LTE speeds on the Note 2 or any other phone. We've all pretty much given up.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tony yayo:
Maybe I should be more specific HSPA+ 42,. I'm in Arlington Heights and the only place I ever got more than 10 mbps was when I pulled 25 near Woodfield Mall and by the hospital in Elk Grove. Since the LTE update I don't even get that, haven't bothered restoring the old APN to see if that helps either. So, seeing how these have been the only 2 places I know of that have even been upgraded, I can assume that these would be the first and again, possibly only, places to get LTE. I mean, we haven't even gotten the refarm yet as far as I know or can tell. If that were to happen I could probably even live without LTE. If I could get 25mbps or more everywhere I'd be totally cool with that but it's just not the case.

I'm getting horrible speeds in my workplace office building. It's in downtown DC right across the street from Metro Center. I get basic 4G and and can't even get 0.5 MB/s consistently. And it's not my phone either because I get fantastic 4G LTE speeds at home and all along my commute on the train (outside the tunnels). At first I thought it was just the building but the speeds are only marginally better when walking within a few blocks of my workplace. We're talking an improvement of maybe 2-6 MB/s at 4G and that's only when I'm close by the tmobile store. As far as LTE, it's very spotty. It'll light up for a second or two then disappear. I can't complain too much though. My tmobile data service here at work may be slow but at least it's consistent with no signal drops. I had Verizon LTE in this area prior to Tmobile and the signal/ data speeds had gotten pretty awful. It started out great with high speeds once LTE came out but it's been a downward spiral since then. I just have to accept the fact that I work in an LTE dead spot for providers other than AT&T. I'd go with AT&T but I'm sticking with my $30/mo. tmobile prepaid plan.

I'm detecting 1900mhz bands in Southern Charlotte North Carolina. Pretty much the whole Uptown area South has 1900mhz coverage. Isn't that the lte bands ?

I dont have the lte rom or baseband so I cant test or see the icon. But my hspa+ speeds reach 25000 kbps regularly when im in south Charlotte

Heck I just went on airportal.de and Charlotte has far more towers up and running than las vegas. Which I thought was their launch market (las vegas)

See that top speedtest? That was from a server in rapid city south dakota which is at least 1500 miles from here and I still got that good of a dl speed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] CLopez92868:
Here's a thought.

I have one of those home signal amplifier sent to me from tmobile. It enhances the signal.

I know that tmobile only leases it out to residential address, I would recommend people tell the reps that you live in a house not an apt. or something else that might be ineligible. I know it works at my house, I would recommend it to anyone. You only pay for shipping.

It would be worth a shot to install in your office. you never know.
