I didn't do anything at all. The operator had me power down device. Then he refreshed my network connection. Had me power back on and I had LTE ...sadly after an hour I cannot connect any more... I'm in same area and have done nothing to my device...

When I force LTE band I get no service even though connection shows a signal...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
You are connected to Verizon's network with that code. Did you change anything in the service menu screens (you use them to unlock if you don't have the unlock code as provided by your carrier)?

Double check your APN. Go to select mobile network under network in settings and choose tmobile. See if that works. Weird that you are connected to Verizon.

I gave my invite to a friend because it doesn't do Wifi Calling. If it did, I'd be all over it. T-Mobile's signal in my house is like 1-2 bars, and 0 if I go in the kitchen (middle of the house) or basement.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
I use a cel-fi booster at my house. Works great. I find the best signal strength in the house using service mode then place the base there.

I place the remote unit on the opposite end of the house and the two pieces figure out the remote unit's output signal strength. I found a sweet spot where the remote unit can produce full strength and cover nearly all of the house.

The upcoming version is supposed to repeat LTE.

I am in the Northwest CT and in my house, have great speeds on LTE but unfortunately it is quite patchy since there is a lack of towers in and around the area that dwindles down and literally crawls on the edge network.

Does anyone know which LTE bands T889 is capable of supporting?

I believe T-Mobile/Samsung had enabled LTE bands 4 and 17 on this phone. But was wondering if like the AT&T Note 2 variant, there were other LTE band hardware present on the phone and not enabled through modem/firmware/software. I came across a thread to enable any additional bands, and wanted to know if anyone had already tried this?

I never used mobile odin before, but I tried the steps above and I end up stuck on the screen with the blue Mobile Odin logo. Sat there for 10 minutes and nothing happened. Even after a battery pull it kept going back to this screen. I wasn't able to restart the phone into any other mode, but luckily adb still worked and used an adb reboot fastboot to restart the phone.

I tried a couple more times with no luck on using Mobile Odin.

It's just the type of cell tower. As you drive around you'll notice it changes periodically. I see mine change from HSDPA:9 to HSDPA:15 and to what you posted.

It just really means what type of technology the tower has. I've noticed the higher the HSDPA number, the higher the speeds.

Hope I helped you bud.

Just a reminder about network speeds using Speed Test app. Your speeds will vary from test to test, time of the day and so on. The app is not that accurate. Keep in mind it is dependant on the server it is using to test download speed. You will notice it uses different servers at different times. You may get faster or slower speeds from time to time. It most likely has nothing to do with the radio you flashed or even TMO for that matter.

Its the Internet folks, it is not static... It is fluctuating all the time based on many factors usually not your freaking modem. :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgamble160:
This guy is correct. I personally always first make sure I'm using the same server it gives you the option in tools. And the only time my speeds really increase even with new modems is late at night when not as many people are on the servers. Other than that I get a constant 9-11 down 2 up.

Do you have to get an LTE plan if you are on 4g?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] milan03:
First seven LTE markets to be announced: http://www.tmonews.com/2013/03/t-mobile-3/

By looking at T-Mobile's spectrum holding, and assuming they'll not scale down HSPA+42, here are the configurations:

Las Vegas: 2x5Mhz capable speeds of 37Mbps/12Mbps

Phoenix: 2x10Mhz capable speeds of 73Mbps/26Mbps

San Jose: 2x10Mhz capable speeds of 73Mbps/26Mbps

Houston: 2x10Mhz capable speeds of 73Mbps/26Mbps

Washington: 2x10Mhz capable speeds of 73Mbps/26Mbps

Kansas City: 2x5Mhz capable speeds of 37Mbps/12Mbps

Baltimore 2x5Mhz capable speeds of 37Mbps/12Mbps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] CTR01:
You just need a 4g plan and have LTE enabled where you live, as well as have the update that enabled the note 2 to receive the lte signals (when they are turned on).

Thanks, checking this out now. Yeah I don't live super close to Bellevue and everywhere I go I get about 10-15 down so I'm ok, just watched 3 tv shows on my phone with photon browser last night.

One thing I have noticed is that my phone seems to freeze (2 times in the past 24 hours) which never happened before. Maybe its just the other applications or something.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Poke_N_PDA:
I know OKC has a 2x5Mhz and a 2x10Mhz. Speeds have been a little slow recently and I've assumed that's been because of they transfered the HSPA+42 to the 2x5Mhz to make room for LTE on the 2x10Mhz. Is that a falty thought? Also, I know they are also in process of rolling out 1900Mhz as that is available in several places. Is the 1900 HSPA+42 or 21?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] milan03:
OKC is a 30Mhz AWS market and as far as I know T-Mobile still has HSPA+42 there. If you have a Samsung phone it's very easy to find out.

Start downloading something in the background, and dial *#0011# and take a screenshot. If it says Band 4 at the top, and at the bottom right corner it says DC_HSPA+ 1 it means HSPA+42 is still alive and well, and LTE will be 2x5Mhz.

There is also HSPA+21 being deployed on 1900Mhz Band 2, but that's something else.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Poke_N_PDA:
Ah, so the 1900Mhz deployments are in fact only HSPA+21 and not 42. That sucks.

Thanks for all the info! If they haven't moved anything what is slowing speeds down? I've seen you talk about the LTE deployment process slowing down network speeds.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] personaje91:
That means I will be getting 2x10 mhz because they downgraded the DC_HSPA+. I don't see the DC any more when I run a speedtest and run servicemode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] newbieandroid:
Any news about Philadelphia? Tried to look it up on Google but it is old news saying T-Mobile is switching the bands around to free up the 1700Mhz bands for LTE.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] milan03:
I'd restart the phone first, then start downloading something, then immediately start ServiceMode. If you ever see DC_HSPA+ 1 there, you will most likely get 2x5Mhz. If you really never see it, and only see HSPA+ 1 then it's very probable they've decided to scale HSPA down to make room for 2x10Mhz.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] personaje91:
Then I have to go back to San Juan to do that. The big question is why they are not downgrading in places where that have 30 mhz. Doesn't make sense to downgrade it ro 21 mbps to get more in LTE? Here in Puerto Rico every company has 5mhz. So if T-Mobile will downgrade the HSPA+ it will blow AT&T and the other companies. Why not do it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] schwank:
My Note 2 got the OTA 4.1.2 update yesterday here in Portland.

I have yet to see any LTE service but have only traveled between my office and home, which would not be likely candidates for the first local cells.

The phone does seem a bit snappier to unlock and pull up apps. This morning my lock screen was oddly shifted halfway off the display next to the clock instead of below it, resulting in a forced reboot to be able to use the phone.

Speeds were about half my previous average based on tests yesterday, but this morning they seem to have sped up a bit. Used to get 18+ mbps regularly, saw about 8 yesterday but around 15 this morning.

Anyway, I have waited for this update to root. Now that LTE is enabled I will be making a ROM switch. Still want TouchWiz but time to get rid of the TMOB bloatware and get my tethering back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tony yayo:
I think a lot of people are gonna be disappointed when LTE does start rolling out. I live close to the biggest airport in the states, one of the biggest malls in the country, and also a huge industrial area. Yet I only know of TWO towers that gives me HSPA+ speeds, or should I say at least, gives me speeds over 10mbps. So trust me, if you live out in the sticks, don't expect to see LTE til next year probably. Also, you notice the commercials say 200 million "people" by the end of the year and not "customers"? There's a big difference between the two.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] milan03:
I agree with you on that one, but only T-Mobile can answer that question. I think they value their DC-HSPA+ user base so they don't wanna downgrade the experience speed wise, even though HSPA is pretty inefficient comparing to LTE with 2x2 MIMO.

After upgrading to ROMKitchen 3.17, the infrared port has stopped working. It does not send or receive anything. Why could it happen? It was working very well before upgrading. If any application that involves IR, that is beam file, ActiveSync by IR causes the XDA to hang. IR Receive gives message "Unable to establish an infrared connection while mobile device is connected to the desktop"
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Ken_xda:
Dear,

I had a similar problem once and for long until I realized that some of my other softwares were interfering with the IR Port. If you have any software that requires all-time active connectivity status of any kind (i.e. keyboard driver), disable it before using the infrared.

HTH :)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] samohile:
Dear Ken,

I guess that is where I went wrong! There was a foldable keyboard software that was creating problem!

I have similar problem with AT&T PPC2002 (XDA developers Special Edition ROM v1.2). The phone was bought with this ROM, so I didn’t try with other versions.

When I run ‘infrared receive’ application or try to beam any file my phone simply hung till I soft-reset it. It may be the conflict with other programs but I not sure. How to check who else uses IRDA and how to remove those programs/conflicts?

Help please and thanks in advance

I wish I could end up with this problem... but I still not. It does not vitally critical since I don’t need IRDA functionality so far. But having feature (IRDA) and knowing it does not work for unknown reason driving me mad. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO.
[Asus Transformer TF700] borgmanjayce:
Until yesterday, my TF700 was working perfectly fine, but now I'm concerned as the battery in both the dock and the tablet have stopped working.

The AC adaptor's connected to the dock and I always charged both the tablet and the dock together for the most part.

I went to check the device this morning and suddenly found that they're not working at all.

Yesterday evening, I tried switching on the tablet and it would switch on and reach the ASUS screen, but not fully boot up.

I bought it from Amazon's Amazon Warehouse division and I have until the 31st to return this, but in the meantime, I'd like to know why the batteries have died on me suddenly and is there anything I can do about it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
If it's a genuine hardware failure, you'd have to return -- unless you're very proficient at handling and replacing sensitive electronics yourself (microwelding, for example).

It has been reported before, and could be fixe din almost every case by letting the 700 be dead for at least an hour, and then let it fully charge while off (!) -- just let it sit hoked up to the wall charger for at least 8 hours. Then try to turn it on again.

Good luck.
[Asus Transformer TF700] borgmanjayce:
I'll give that advice of yours a try especially as I don't want to have to return it if it's something that can be easily sorted out.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
It never hurts trying -- you aren't exactly the first to describe this, but luckily, pretty much all of the others were saved. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] borgmanjayce:
I finally managed to get the problem sorted out as it seems that the connection to the port on the keyboard had somehow come a bit loose without me noticing it.

Unfortunately, I have a new problem in that the cable itself seems to have died in that it won't work any more with the adapter as it started crackling a bit when I knocked the connector attached to the AC adaptor itself gently by accident. :crying:
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Well, I hope I am right in assuming this is not your luckiest week, huh? ;) Is the cable damaged near the wall charging part? (That's what I understand.) The replacement cables probably are not that expensive, so I'd plonk down on a new one instead of initiating "daredevil repair mode".

Saying that gives me that MacGyver feeling. Duct tape and a pair of scissors would be all that he needs to fix this.

Oh, and maybe a pair of toothpicks and an old sock, just for looks. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] borgmanjayce:
The cable itself is fine (it's not worn down to the wire literally like a lot of cables and AC adapters you get for devices like iPods and Galaxy S II's), it's just that it has this weird burnt-like smell at the end connector that plus into the USB socket on the AC adaptor.

As for replacement cables, I'm surprised that they're not that easy to buy offline.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Agreed -- buying them offline is a definite hassle. I have seen them online, though, and you can even hunt down the charger parts or the TF101 and TF201 Prime. They will work flawlessly.

BTW and FWIW (gotta love acronyms), my charging cable smells a bit funny at the end too. This specific one has to put through a lot of power, so I'm not even that surprised. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] FordPrefect:
The net of this ... power smells! (sorry, couldn't resist!)
[Asus Transformer TF700] borgmanjayce:
LOL!

In all seriousness though, I love my TF700, it's just a shame that it's such a pain in the ass (not literally!) to buy official accessories in the shops and it's not as if you can buy a USB cable for it in the shops unlike ones for the iPod, iPad and iPhone.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
No, it's a definite PITA

-- I had hoped that the new EU rulings concerning all smartphones needing to provide a microUSB charging input would extend to tablts, but so far this has not been the case, unfortunately.

I risked saying that the tip of my ... smells funny on the interwebz and came away with it! </increased self-esteem>

LOL!
[Asus Transformer TF700] borgmanjayce:
Just giving you guys a update concerning my device: It seems now that both batteries don't want to work any more for some reason or other as of yesterday. I've checked both the official USB cable and a third-party cable plugged into the official USB plug and they're not charging up the device at all.

The tablet can connect to my laptop as a media device without any problems, but I'm confused as to why it's not working at all when plugged into a USB adapter.

In any case, I'm going to order a AC adapter from eBay later today and see if that works or not.
