Re: ALL LTE and update discussions here

Just had a thought about using just the modem. I saw posted someplace that you needed to run a ROM that is actually aware of LTE so you need the updated stock for now....

What about 7105 ROMs? I was running ParanoidAndroid 3.1 on top of the last Tmo modem. A 7105 ROM would be aware of LTE wouldn't it? So in theory just the modem + a 7105 targeted ROM like ParanoidAndroid might get LTE?

Not sure I'll see LTE at all, I'm on Straight Talk/AT&T but I'm going to run with the new stock for a while and see what happens. ..:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dkb218:
...a statement that must be made...

T-MOBILE HAS NOT TURN ON LTE FOR ITS CUSTOMERS YET. THEY JUST PROVIDED AN UPDATE SO THAT WHEN THEY DO TURN IT ON, YOU'LL BE READY.

Too many people asking if others have LTE in Houston, New York, etc.

Re: ALL LTE and update discussions here

I see couple people are from Maryland :) I'm in Timonium area and got the 4g lte status signal but of course service isn't turned on yet so speed was slow (about 3~4mbps) and had barely one bar. Since, Note 2 was picking up lte signal when lte is not even turned on, I kept losing my data service which was quite annoying... :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
I haven't had the lte icon . But i do have slower download speeds. My uploads are faster.. ?...My data keeps dropping also:{
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shadowalker191:
Not doubting you, but can you give us a screenshot of it. Maybe with a proof card signed by ya in the pic today?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LvDisturbed1:
If Las Vegas only gets 2x5Mhz I'm gonna be a little disappointed. With HSPA+ I get anywhere from 15-25 Mb/s. If LTE's max theoretical is 37Mb/s I can realistically expect half that tops. 12-18Mb/s doesn't seem like an improvement to me. Sure, the upload speed will be better, but who really needs that much UL on your phone? I guess the only consolation is better latency.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] milan03:
That's incorrect. With 2x5Mhz LTE you will be able to go much higher than 25Mbps. You could actually hit 37Mbps.

On DC-HSPA+ as you said, you see 15-25mbps, up to about 29mbps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LvDisturbed1:
Can you please elaborate? With LTE is it actually possible to come close to the max theoretical limit, or will it be easier because not to many LTE devices (low network congestion)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] acideater:
Can someone post a link for the new modem? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2102380
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] milan03:
Sure. In 2x5Mhz LTE configuration, maximum peak rate is 37Mbps which accounts for overhead. That's how LTE is marketed, and that is maximum achievable peak throughput.

HSPA has always been maximum theoretical speed, which is in the lab like condition with UE all wired up. In reality, you could see about 35-36mbps with 64QAM which is extremely difficult to achieve unless you're camping under the lone tower late at night. Even then you probably won't see over 30mbps.

LTE has a mandatory 2x2 MIMO which helps with signaling in general. Also, keep in mind that HSPA+42 requires 20Mhz of spectrum, while 2x5Mhz LTE obviously 10Mhz.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LvDisturbed1:
Gotcha. I didn't know the 37Mb/s was after overhead. Glad to see it is marketed reasonably unlike HSPA+.

I've also noticed HSPA+ speeds are significantly slower on the fast.tmobile.com APN compared to epc.tmobile.com. Both are utilizing HSPA+42, but I can't get past 15Mb/s with fast.tmobile.com. Throttling perhaps? Can anyone else see if their HSPA+ speed is slower on fast.tmobile.com APN?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] IAmSixNine:
Someone in another thread, Dallas LTE, was able to get LTE for a bit in Dallas. However our friendly neighborhood moderator closed it and wants us to come here..

So if the person in Dallas who reported LTE kindly get back to me the area in which he got LTE.. Im in Big D as well and have not seen any LTE up yet.

I know its more then likely a fluke he got it and the tower was only up while they were testing but id still like to know.

Thats if he is monitoring this thread. Which he probably isnt but its not like i have anywhere else to ask since the original thread has been closed.. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] personaje91:
I went to San Juan and restarted as you said and I still not find DC-HSPA+.

Regarding to the downgrading. Wouldn't be better to encourage people to get to LTE rather than stay on HSPA+? Besides 21mbps it still good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] milan03:
I completely agree with you, but most of their 30Mhz markets are still set up with DC-HSPA+, New York City being one of them...

Have you ever seen DC-HSPA+ in PR on T-Mobile?

What's interesting about your ss is that Rx of 2062 corresponds to AWS F Block, which is 20Mhz, which is where they normally deploy DC-HSPA+. They never deploy HSPA+21 there since it's a 20Mhz of contiguous spectrum, perfect for HSPA+42.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] akke41:
LTE is broadcasting at the White Marsh Mall north of Baltimore.

Averaged around 28 down/20 up. Latency in the low 30s. Very nice!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] milan03:
Could you get into ServiceMode and snap a screenshot. I'm curious what LTE configuration they're running in Baltimore. It's a 30Mhz market, and unless they're scaling down DC-HSPA+ it should be 2x5Mhz. But your upload is higher than 12mbps, which makes me wonder.

thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] personaje91:
Yes, I'm in another city near San Juan now and look at the servicemode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] akke41:
Milan here is the screenshot you asked for. This is from my gs3 but shows the network we are running.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] milan03:
Aha, that's Band 2 that's 1900Mhz. What we wanna look for is Band 4 HSPA+ service. THat's where they've had DC-HSPA+. Since your phone automatically changes between those two bands, keep an eye on ServiceMode,and the next time you're on Band 4, start downloading something, and see if it says DC_HSPA+ 1.

Thanks for the screenshot!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] akke41:
Honestly for about the last two weeks I have barely seen my device on HSPA+ with the signalcheck app. It almost always says UMTS. What does that mean?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] milan03:
When data isn't being used, radio scales itself down to 3G to preserve battery. When you start downloading, that'll change to HSPA+.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] akke41:
Here's a screenshot showing hspa+.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] milan03:
Ya see, if you guys still have DC_HSPA+ running, which takes 20Mhz of spectrum, there is no way T-mobile could deploy 2x10Mhz LTE since Baltimore is 30mhz Band 4 market.

Which means the max upload speeds should be 12Mbps on 2x5Mhz LTE. If you're seeing upload in the 20's, that would have to be 2x10Mhz LTE which confuses me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] akke41:
The screenshot was taken in Baltimore city. The LTE was in White Marsh which is about 10 miles north if that makes any difference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] milan03:
What county is that?

I mean it shouldn't even matter, as Baltimore in general is AWS C+D+E block for 30Mhz of spectrum.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] akke41:
Fairly certain that it is still Baltimore county.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] milan03:
Yup 30Mhz, and DC-HSPA+ takes 20Mhz.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wing_addict_usa:
I don't like this lte stuff yet. Tmobile is unique where broadcasting lte steals bandwidth from hspa making both slow before a full transition which will take a long long time. The only savior is metro pcs spectrum that i'm not sure our note ii supports?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazy talk:
What? I don't believe it's been confirmed that T-mo is taking spectrum away from HSPA+ to give more to LTE. Right now things are weird because everything is being switched on for the first time. once things get ironed out DC_HSPA+ will work like normal and LTE will work like normal.

speaking of which, has anyone seen any activity in Phoenix? right now my HSPA+ speeds are about half of what they typically are (5-8mbps) and i'm having trouble with calls not coming in.

would be nice to have individual threads for each of the launch markets...

anyway, the screenshots above you just show H,4G, etc because that's all he had when he took the screenshot. the proof is in the insanely fast upload speeds.

APN Change?

I admit I am confused by the APN change requirement. Yesterday I had an LTE signal in the Twin Cities, MN but I have not changed the APN at all. It is still set to epc.tmobile.com. I am running Jedi X12 plus the new modem and that's all I did to get it to work. Is the APN like the default gateway or a proxy of some sort? Are speeds affected by the APN? Yesterday I was seeing 30M down and 22M up for speeds. Oh, I'll also add I did not see the "4G LTE" in the status bar - it just showed the normal "4G" indicator - I presume because this is not a Tmo based ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] safeplayer22:
I'm not sure myself cause I'm actually getting better speeds with the old apn then the new but that is with HSPA. Since NYC does not have LTE yet. the only reason the apn is coming into play is that t-mobile announced that it was one of the requirements for LTE.
