[G2 General] Product F(RED):
The Verizon one will work on AT&T EDGE and 4G but no LTE. There's no way to enable it; it's not supported on the hardware level. However, it will get T-Mobile 4G and LTE if you're in a T-Mobile LTE area.
[G2 General] tokoam:
Ohhh noo :( I thought 4g was LTE lol I'm confused.
[G2 General] Product F(RED):
You can thank bs marketing for that lol.

EDGE = 2G

HSPA+ = 3G (but companies call it 4G)

LTE = 4G (companies call it 4G LTE)

But yeah, Verizon devices don't support AT&T LTE. They'll get up to 3G ("4G") though on AT&T.
[G2 General] diamond12:
The other difference between the TMo and ATT versions of the phone is the TMo will do 42Mbps on HSPA whereas the ATT only does 21Mbps. This also works when you use a TMo MVNO like Spot, Ultra, Lycamobile etc.
[G2 General] Product F(RED):
That too. Overall, unless you live in a Band 5 LTE area (as far as I know, they are sort of rare; I know parts of rural Illinois use it because AT&T doesn't have 700 MHz licenses there), T-Mobile devices are better even if you're using them on AT&T:

1. Capable of 42 Mbps HSPA+ (though on T-Mobile and their MVNOs use it, but the option is there).

2. Except for the Xperia Z and Xperia Z1S, all of their phone's bootloaders are unlocked

3. They come with Wifi Calling if you decide to use them on T-Mobile (though you can usually flash a T-Mobile ROM on an AT&T device, which adds it)

4. 1700 MHz HSPA+, which gives you flexibility to jump to T-Mobile when you want to, so you're not suck on EDGE with an AT&T device
[G2 General] diamond12:
Networks picked up by my T-Mobile G2. 311 660 is Metro-PCS. I'm on H2O which apparently only uses AT&T's HSPA network.
[G2 General] krichek:
Just saw this and have to say that I do not believe this is correct. I have been using a Verizon G2 on AT&T for over a month with an AT&T rom flashed to it and I get LTE no problem..
[G2 General] Product F(RED):
You have to be in one of the rare areas where AT&T uses the AWS frequency for LTE (the same frequency used by T-Mobile). They do that where they don't have a license for 700 MHz.
[G2 General] krichek:
I live in Northern California, although 2 weekends ago I was at Vandenberg AFB, near Santa Barbara and had LTE. This past weekend I was at Hill AFB outside Salt Lake City, UT and had LTE. I also had it for a good portion of both trips while driving, maybe it's more common out west, not sure. All I Know is I do have LTE using the Verizon G2 and it works great! Much better than the Sprint G2 I had that rarely had LTE and when it did I still only averaged about 5Mbps or less.
[G2 General] diamond12:
*corrected*

According to http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...honeDetail&CategoryId=10&selectedPhoneId=7091 the Verizon version has both bands 4 and 13 for LTE, which means it does get LTE on the AT&T network only if your area uses band 4, most areas use band 17. What it does not have is the 1700MHz band for HSPA, so it cannot get 4G (HSPA+) on the T-Mobile network in the areas that haven't yet been refarmed to 1900MHz.
[G2 General] krichek:
Thanks, that seems to go along with what I have experienced in that I seem to have 4G LTE or 3G, never just 4G which if I understand correctly is HSPA+. Additionally I did not get LTE until I flashed the AT&T firmware to the phone, prior to that it always should roaming when the AT&T sim was in and I only had 3G.
[G2 General] Product F(RED):
That's wrong. LTE Band 4 is AWS (1700/2100 MHz), which is T-Mobile LTE (and HSPA+, but the Verizon G2 can only use it on LTE) and what AT&T uses as a secondary frequency. Band 13 is what Verizon uses (700 MHz Upper Block C, which is really 750 MHz). AT&T uses 700 MHz Lower Block B. No Verizon (except for the iPhone 5C/5S and Nexus 7 2013 LTE) support AT&T's LTE. LTE Band 4 the only frequency AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile share in common.

As you said, the Verizon G2 only supports Band 4 and Band 13. Neither of those is an AT&T LTE frequency.
[G2 General] diamond12:
Well, since the carriers renamed 3G to 4G they removed the 3G label, so I am not sure why you get it. Also, what I said was the Verizon version is missing the T-Mobile original HSPA band (1700MHz). But it does have the AT&T HSPA band (1900MHz). And I understand you are on AT&T. So you should get HSPA and you probably do except your phone is labeling it 3G instead of 4G.

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

You are correct. My mistake. AT&T uses band 17, not 13.
[G2 General] Product F(RED):
Does the phone say "4G" or "4G LTE" in the notification bar? They're two different things. "4G" really means 3G, or HSPA+. 4G LTE is LTE. If it's 4G, you don't have LTE. If it's 4G LTE, then you happen to be in an area where they use Band 4 instead of Band 17 (rare, but very possible).
[G2 General] krichek:
it Says 4G LTE, the FCC speed test reports the network as LTE as well.. Give me a few and I'll try and post up a few screenshots...

Ok, Here is a screenshot of the homescreen, I was refreshing the weather and as you can see it states 4G LTE, The FCC app also states LTE, it also shows I'm on AT&T and using the VS980 model.
[G2 General] Product F(RED):
Wow. No you've got my interest. We still need to figure out what band you're on.
[G2 General] krichek:
Know of any apps that will display that? Or any other way? I'll post up the results if anyone knows of a way to get that info.
[G2 General] Product F(RED):
There aren't any apps that I know of that show current frequency, but try dialing ##3282# (##DATA#) and seeing if a menu comes up. Poke around and if you find a menu that tells you about the network, make sure you're on Wifi. Note the band or frequency number.
[G2 General] krichek:
That doesn't seem to work for me, I type it in and a popup comes up that says "USSD code running", then I get a popup that says "USSD ##########" where the # are the numbers of my phone number. It says ok below that and pressing it returns you to the dialer.

I did find another dialer code that worked, just not sure if it has the info requested in it or not.. Here is a screenshot, I tried looking for anything that indicated a band but I'm not sure how it would be displayed.
[G2 General] Product F(RED):
Can you run this and screenshot the page please. Make sure you're on LTE, not WiFi: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.android.telnet
[G2 General] krichek:
I don't see any band info but here you go, I made sure I was downloading when I took the shots as well.
[G2 General] Product F(RED):
Unforunately I couldn't do much with that info, BUT I did find the correct service menu code:

3845#*800#

The code is 3845#*XXX#, where XXX is the model number (e.g. 800 for AT&T, 801 for T-Mobile, etc). Dig through the menus and find network/tower info! I'm excited to see if you actually discovered a way to enable frequencies.
[G2 General] krichek:
That code doesn't work, are the dialer codes tied to the devices firmware? Or the device itself? I have done several searches but haven't found a confirmed dialer code that works for the VS980. I did try the ones I found myself but get the same error every time "connection problem or invalid MMI code."
[G2 General] Product F(RED):
It might be tied to the modem. Since you're probably on a Verizon modem, try this:

To access Verizon's G2 menu use ##PROGRAM980 and enter code 000000

H/T to FAUguy on HowardForums for finding it.
[G2 General] krichek:
I'd tried that code already and get the same error as above, I also found this one 5689#*980* that was supposed to be for the Sprint version that is different from everyone else and tried it with the same error as well.
[G2 General] franberry:
Can you elaborate on how you did this? Which rom did you use? I didn't think you could flash an AT&T rom to a Verizon G2.
[G2 General] Product F(RED):
He lives in one of the rare areas where AT&T uses AWS instead of 700 MHz for LTE. 100%. There was an entire thread about this and I solved the mystery behind it by asking the guy to put his AT&T SIM in his Verizon S4 and use a dialer code to pull up a debug menu. When he did, it showed he was connected to Band 4 on LTE, which is AWS.

9 out of 10 times though, you won't get LTE on AT&T with a Verizon device (except iPhone 5S/5C).
[G2 General] redeyss:
I also have T-Mobile unlocked on at$t and get LTE and everything works with the correct APN settings.
[G2 General] vanquish15:
hi there. It looks like this thread hasn't been active in a while, but I wanted to ask what APN you used to get the D801 working with LTE on AT&T. I tried 'phone' and 'pta' and it doesn't work. With the 'phone' APN, it connects fine to 3G HSPA, but no luck connecting to LTE. In the network menu to choose the networks, it lists the AT&T LTE choice, but errors when I choose it, saying unable to register, etc. I confirmed this phone works on T-mobile LTE. Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] foocankill:
I was running the latest version of clean rom with stock kernel, I had never installed cm or aosp. My micro SD card was always named extSdCard in root Explorer and the stock explorer until one day I went to use rom manager to initiate a backup to external SD, this always worked in the past but this time cwm (in recovery) said it could not find my external and threw out an error.

Back in tw I fired up root Explorer and noticed somehow my external had been renamed to sdcard1. Please note that this definitely did not happen because of a rom change.

I do not know what could have caused this to happen, is there any way to rename sdcard1 back to extSdCard short of using Odin to reflash?

All of my external SD contents are intact and touchwiz successfully sees my external in settings - storage. I also tried formatting the ext in tw and then with the official SD card formatting program for Windows. Both times it kept the name of sdcard1.

Thanks for your time all!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] v8esprit:
Ok, so everyone today is pre-ordering on amazon or wherever you can go to get it without tax... good for them... but not me.

I will own a Note 10.1 2014, around the time it comes out, so I'm already committed to the purchase.

The one on pre-order at Amazon is the Exynos WIFI only.

I think I'd rather by the 4gLTE/WIFI one at ATT. Here is why:

-I get the Snapdragon 800 and Adreno GPU which I've been reading is pretty much the best over the Exynos.

-Developers love making custom ROMS with those Qualcomm chips (bloat removal)

-I can pull the SIM card out of my ATT Samsung S4 and plug it into my tablet when I feel like going online with it.

-I buy it from ATT unlocked, spend the same amount of money as the one on Amazon, and I get the above features for free.

Now... the reasons for getting the one on Amazon:

-I can order it now and have a good chance of it shipping out on the release date.

-You can say that Samsung has announced that they will unlock the dormant 4 cores of the 8core Exynos in the future.... but did they promise you that they would enable it on the Note 10.1 2014? No. No promises whatsoever. You'd be setting yourself up for some serious disappointment if you bought the Exynos, expecting it to happen, and then they enable it with the next device. If an active 8-core tablet is what you MUST HAVE, then wait until they ship a product with an active 8core tablet... not when they announce that some day it will happen.

I'm just waiting for ATT to have a pre-order or a release page come up for their 4G/LTE/WIFI tablet.

Anyone poke holes in my logic?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Diogenes5:
Where did you fund a price that was the same between the two? Thw lte one costs several hundred dollars more accounting fir the cost of the contract.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] v8esprit:
Can you share a link to the contract and price?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Diogenes5:
The note 2014 isn't listed yet but it's always been the case for mobile/lte devices that they cost several hundred dollars more in the US accounting for the cost of contract. If the LTE version really did cost the same, why the hell would anyone buy the WiFi only version?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] swamks:
wait, if we pre-order it on amazon, we don't need to pay for tax, but if we order it later we have to?! why is it like that?!

how about for best buy?

(I'm new to US, can somebody clear that up for me pls?)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] v8esprit:
Two answers.

To the first, I want to buy the tablet, full price, no contract. I'll pay the non-subsidized price, to get it unlocked and without the contract. With my ATT SIM, I'll just drop it in whenever I feel like. That has to be an option... You take the contract for the subsidy. It wouldn't make sense for me to buy the tablet at full price plus a service contract, and then the next day I cancel the contract AND get a late fee. Am I wrong about that? Educate the thread.

State sales tax is different in every state. I'm in California and Amazon charges sales tax. I researched it and if I were to buy the Exynos... I was going to buy from TigerDirect since they don't charge CA Sales Tax.

Still not convinced to go the Exynos path...

-Lox
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] mi7chy:
Having owned devices based on both Snapdragon and Exynos.

Samsung fab is better than TSMC so this results in better idle battery life so when you leave it idle for days it hardly drops battery life, is cooler running and with better stability.

Exynos performance is more consistent as it tends to keep more cores active and the clock rate higher. In contrast, Snapdragon aggressively disables cores where there is usually only one active and runs the clock rate low so the performance is inconsistent like what I experience with Snapdragon 600 on Nexus 7 2013.

Related to the above, Droidfish app nodes per second rate on the Note 3 Exynos is nearly double that of the Note 3 Snapdragon.

Undecided on GPU between the two since it's not clear if Exynos 5420 will have T628 or PowerVR GPU.

anyone else run into this and have a fix???

Has nothing to do with the ROM or file and everything to do with your PC and what software you are using to transfer with. Since you didn;t describe that. no way of knowing what's wrong.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] macmachine87:
How big is the file? Is it much bigger than previous files? If it took a long time to d/n and the file is much bigger, there's your answer. If it's not then your internet connection could be the issue for downloading. Also if it's a huge file it will take some time to transfer. Do you know if your computer has USB 2.0 or 3.0/ss?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remcomooij:
Hi everyone,

First of all, let me say that I really am a noob so I might ask some stupid questions.

My problem is that I can't update the firmware version of my Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100, neither through my phone settings or through KIES. I've searched a long time for articles about this problem, but it was very hard to find one that helped me with my specific problem, and in most articles they were using terms and programs which I didn't fully understand.

A year ago or something, I rooted my phone and installed a custom kernel, and I'm affraid it might be the reason why I can't update the firmware. I just did it once and I already forgot long time ago how I did it and how it all works. All I know is that I have this Kernel version: 2.6.35.14-Siyah-v2.6.9+gm@ubuntu#182. My current Android version is version 2.3.6. And in case you need it, my Baseband version is I9100XXKI4 and Build number is GINGERBREAD.XWKK2.

So my question is, does anybody know the reason why I can't update the firmware? And do I need to restore my original kernel or unroot my phone? If so, how can I do it?

Thanks in advance,

Remco

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uqbar:
How many different G2 do we have and where?

What are the actual (non sw) differences among them?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milkinc:
Well I suppose there is 2 main streams of G2 at the moment the D803/802 international version/verizon/at&t and F320s/f/L which is the korean variant. The main difference is that korean variant has removable but smaller battery at 2610mah and the micro sd card slot. The LTE for korean variant might not work with the US counterparts due to different frequency.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uqbar:
So we already have at least 5 versions here:

D803

D802

F320s

F320f

F320L

[HTC Sensation] bowser4:
Evening folks, as phones such as my trusty HTC Sensation come to the end of their useful lives, to be replaced by other newer phones, I was wondering if there was such a thing as a 'non phone' ROM I could flash which would remove the calling, texting etc functions and allow it to be used as a 'ipod touch' (for want of a better description). I would be quite happy putting a dummy SIM card into the phone and simply not allowing it to touch the network but I would be happier with the calling etc functions removed from the phone, especially as I'm hoping to give it to my kids to play with.

Any advice? Does such a thing exist? I had a quick google and couldnt really see anything too relevant. Happy to be corrected on that though!
[HTC Sensation] Nicx59:
Haven't seen a ROM like that here..

I'm not sure why you want those features removed, but if you want that your kids don't use them, you can set up a password lock on those apps.
[HTC Sensation] MrJukeHardbane:
I don't think there's any such ROM. But why you insisting on no network feature. Just don't insert the SIM and it will work.

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e
[HTC Sensation] bowser4:
Oh, I know I could stop it like that but just was wondering if there was a 'lighter' ROM without the phone aspects.
[HTC Sensation] Nicx59:
Or then maybe Link2SD can freeze the apps, so they won't be shown in appdrawer.
[HTC Sensation] astar26:
You can remove those by using certain apps that can do it. I think titanium backup has this functionality. However, as these apps are not heavy, simply hiding them will do the work.

Edit: Just remembered, on most ROMs. the phone and messaging apps have other apps that depend on them, so removing them completely might cause issues. Hiding them from the drawer (possible on many AOSP based launchers and some Sense ROMs built-in) would be the simplest way to "remove" the apps.
[HTC Sensation] bowser4:
Thanks for that, I'll go ahead and hide them. Appreciate the info folks, many thanks.
