I agree, I've looked and have not seen AWS in Manhattan.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmackr13:
I had the same problem all weekend in the east village until I went up to penn station today and had band 4 there. Speed tests weren't fantastic though on band 4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] equake:
I noticed Band 4 on 10Mhz so not likely any speed increase until they move to 15 or 20.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nhawk:
I'm in Manhattan, using custom ME7/MDK, with MJ7 modem and while I can force band 4, it normally stays on band 13.

Does priority change (to use band4) via some other file or setting on regular MJ7 ROM or is everyone forcing band 4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stevez48:
I haven't figured out how to force band 4 without having to buy an app. The codes didn't work for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nhawk:
Does this work for you? *#27663368378#
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bigeric828:
I got AWS in part of Boston. Checked it in a busy section of Boston and got about 55/12 or so. Very happy with this. At my girlfriend's place(10 minute walk) AWS wasnt available and i get about 5 mbps DL last time i checked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bait-Fish:
Band 4 sighting in SoCal.

I flashed back to TouchWiz so I could get the service menu goodness. On my commute home, I found a pocket of band 4 at the Long Beach Towne Center. Speed not impressive, but it was band 4. I also noticed it said 10 Mhz.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stevez48:
Why yes it does :) now what? Lol.... I go in to the lte menu but not sure from there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zepfloyd:
In case anyone was wondering it does also work on T-Mobile. Here's band 4 T-Mobile LTE on the stock Verizon S4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riphamilton:
anyone have ideas for how to determine which LTE band you're on when using CM? i'm running CM10.2 with the latest modem (MJ7) in an area where i think there could be AWS. the only dialer code i can get to work is *#*#4636#*#*, and when i go into phone information i don't think there's anything indicative of which LTE band i'm on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anewday:
I'm on hyperdrive RLS10. There's no way to force band 4 on s4. This is from lower east side Manhattan.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stevez48:
That worked. :) Says I am connected to band 4, performance not much different than 13 for me , but that is only 2 bars on band 4, and full bars on band 13.

Thanks very much for the guidance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
I was able to force Band 4 in Midtown Manhattan. Only 2 bars, 20mhz bandwidth. Dl speed decent for this time, about 13 to 17 Mbps, upload slowwww. If select all bands goes back to 13.

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

Edit: Just went ouside in midtown, got 4 bars on LTE Band 4, speed went to 18.54 dl and 5.05 Mbps up at 1pm near Madison and 42nd. I'm convinced, definately much faster than I've seen before in Manhattan. :cool:

Runing VZW GS4 MDK tw HD10.1 4.2.2 with MJ7 modem (w/o NON-HLOS)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nhawk:
So it looks like people on MDK ROM with MJ7 modem have to force band 4. Can someone confirm that band 4 is selected automatically if running MJ7 ROM?

Does anyone know how to make MDK choose band 4 automatically?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bait-Fish:
I would say no to that.

Running MDK on a Dev Edition with the MJ7 kernel radio and I've had band 4 multiple places these last two days. I haven't had to force it. I just watch *#0011#.

--VZW GS4 Dev Edition
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anewday:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
I've had to force it to LTE 4 and then I lose voice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Lost my ability to call using enable hidden dialer codes app. Any advice help appreciated. I need to reset to defaults
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] equake:
Where do you find a flashable MJ7 Kernel? I also have a Dev Ed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bait-Fish:
Oh! I misspoke. I meant radio, not kernel. Sorry about that.

I use the radios from this thread.

--OctOS Powered VZW GS4 Dev Edition
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nhawk:
Flashed the radio from above post, will check tomorrow in Manhattan. Does anyone have band 4 selected automatically in NYC on MDK kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anewday:
It connects automatically by default.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 1BigLoser2:
AWS Band 4 looks like its up and running here in the Windy City!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jvcjbl:
That's not impressive at all if that is AWS speeds. Look at what I got (notice the date) in Downtown Houston before AWS even was available. I'm hopping when we finally get AWS rolled out it is significantly better than that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joderme:
Band 4 is available downtown and don't get your hopes up. Speeds still blow. I got 17/11
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nhawk:
Finally got band 4 automatically in NYC (not sure if this is due to a different radio flash using 3 finger or being more patient waiting for it to auto select)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anewday:
Does Band 4 use more battery than Band 13? It seems to lose battery much quicker when running speed tests. But then that could be due to the faster speeds. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobby janow:
The quicker the speed the more drain on battery for my device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ignite023:
Anyone have an issue when forcing Band 4 you lose ability to make\receive phone calls?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] milan03:
Remember, when you force Band 4 LTE Only, you're quite literally in data only LTE mode. And since no US operators use LTE for voice, the behavior you're seeing is to be expected.

Use it for testing, but make sure you hit "Automatic" when you're done. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ignite023:
The issue is that band 13 gives me a better signal but the area that I am in (Midtown, Manhattan) data services on band 13 don't work due to network congestion. So I need to force band 4 in order to have a functional phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] milan03:
Your phone will auto prefer B4 once they officially launch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ignite023:
Even if band 13 has a stronger signal? My phone already auto prefers band 4 outside of the building.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] milan03:
The point is for your phone to prefer B4 outdoors, when you're not connected to WiFi but need capacity. B13 has better RF propagation characteristics, and it'll work better indoors. WiFi is assumed to be abundantly available in the indoor environment.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdfrye:
Asw in Riverside Ca, Auto center area Band 4 mhz15

Stock TW MDK rom with MJK modem flashed in twrp recovery, didn't have to force Band just happened then when I moved out of area switched back to Band 13
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dgutierrez04:
Aws is already up in orlando, fl and also in fort myers, fl.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Glitch4583:
Where did you test this? I'm over near UCF. We really need this in the parks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dgutierrez04:
In orlando I tested it on universal blvd near the quinta hotel. And in fort myers I tested it in the south west international airport. Thats where I picked up the aws signal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stevez48:
Still good ole' band 13 here in New Haven county... Milford/Orange to be more exact.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Polymatical:
Still band 13 up in Chicago Suburbs. Got a 47mbps down and 17mbps up though. :o

No luck for AWS on the NW side of Houston.

I was able to get band 4 in downtown LA

I'm running hyperdrive 10.2 with the MJ7 radio
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] villainous:
This was from Holland, MI. My previous best speeds were 42mbs down, so this nearly doubled! I was at my favorite bar when I got these speeds so the location couldn't have been better
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stevez48:
Got band 4 at the Stamford, CT train station.50.3 down 22.99 up at 41 ping. More than double what I normally get.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] guho:
Am in office at 49th and 7th in Midtown manhattan. 4G band 13 is 0.8Mbps indoors. 3 G is faster at 1.5Mbps. 4G band 4 is 26.2Mbps indoors! AWESOME. only issue is no voice when forcing to band 4. On its own it prefers band 13 unfortunately.

im in los angeles

driving home from work stuck in traffic on the 710 under a bridge i did a speed test . i would of got better speed if i had full bars.

running CM 10.2 MJ7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] landale:
Just had my first AWS sighting in Houston. This was just west of the Galleria. Hopefully this will lead to a much quicker roll out here as their LTE network is a joke here, barely topping 5mbps in many parts of the city. Nice to see something over 50mbps for a change.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmackr13:
15 MHz of band 4 in Saratoga NY
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cell128:
Weird today. I been on band 4 was getting 79mbps and today I can only get 23-24 on both down and upload. Maybe verizon it throttling it to control traffic.

Edit: never mind I changed servers and now I'm hitting 70's again something is screwed up on that LA server
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] astralentity:
Where in the Saratoga Springs area? I'm connected to the tower at Curtis Lumber and I'm only getting band 13. I do, however, get 60 down/20 up max at about a 60-80ms ping on that tower with band 13 though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmackr13:
I'm in Clifton Park. I work in the plaza right off exit 9. At the exit 9 best western there is a tower. That's the one I I'm connected to.

I would like to apologize beforehand for bringing up a problem they may have been posted here several times.

My S3 has taken 4 hours to charge 60%:confused: yesterday was fine as usual 100% within 3 hours. Before I start doing any factory resets or downloading calibrating apps, I wanna ask is there anyway to check if this is a device problem or a cable problem?

I'm using the usb that came with it. I also want to ask others how long is the life of their stock cable? is there any soft spots where i bend it once the whole cable may be useless (just like the psp)?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] edwok:
Could be an app running making your battery charge slower? Try charging with airplane mode on or with your phone off...Does it charge regularly then?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] ValenteL:
You can't flash by Odin a build XX... over a ZH... or a ZH... over a XX...

Always errors from bootloader because regions conflicts.

Now You mustn't give us only MJ1 or MJ8 but the complete build ZHUDMJ8 or XXUBMJ1. The first two letters are the region type.

Thnaks!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] justinliu:
Yes but my phone is a European model N9005 and I'm using it just fine in Hong Kong already. Doesn't that mean its already region unlocked? Yet I still can't flash the HK ZH firmware
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jeezy85:
I have tried to flash my Hong Kong device to UK btu and I keep getting system ext4 image error too I have given up as no one has a solution around this

I can only think this is due to the fact that BTU models come in 32gb where as Hong Kong models come in 16gb

If any one can come with a solution to this I love u forever :P
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ValenteL:
My Country code was XX already and I had my csc TPH from Portugal.

Now flashed the BTU, on csc_vers OXA that havn't my TPH. After root, whit Root Explorer I included it on system/csc, that I have stored on my extSdCad. Make it by default on system/csc, reboot by recovery, wipe cache+dalvik and my TPH is alright.

I can confirm whit Shell Terminal Emulator, type on it getprop and I must see [ril.product_code]: [SM-N9005xxxTPH]. xxx is a personal code from phone.

I wiped only cache+dalvik because my csc was TPH already. If not (if the csc is different) we must make on customer recovery wipe data + cache + dalvik and a new clean install to validate the new CSC. This way not delete our data on Sdcard.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] juliano76:
Thanks for the feedback but to be honest I didn't get anything from the explanation. My conclusion is that I cannot flash this firware inteded for UK when my previous firmware was for Germany without fully wiping the data?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ValenteL:
You can, because BTU and DBT are in same csc_version OXA. And both are of same region XX. But You stay whit BTU and phone + sms + 3g must work whitout problems, the modem is the same.

But You can wait, I think in some days we have more XX MJ6 Rom's to our Countries.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] bernard134:
Note 2 and older devices flash other region also okay. Now it only recognize XX firmware for Note 3. Zzz

Due to this stupid Hong Kong firmware that fail to flash my Knox Warranty Status become 0x1, because I think it's older than previous Europe MJ3. Sucks to the max, i also never root and my device is unlocked unit from Singapore and now on stock latest MJ6 but it's too late my knox warranty already 0x1 due to the fail flash.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] neoKushan:
If you enable ANY accessibility service, one-handed mode doesn't work. So if you have a pebble or use tasker or Llama, it didn't work.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] juliano76:
So in that case I can feel free to flash the UK firmware, but do you think it will not wipe my data?

Thank you so much!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] hiroko83:
My note 3 was bought from a french carrier with a branded rom , I have flashed the official unbranded XEF (France ) rom, and did not loose anything ( except my CSC code that was converted in some kind of greek code (CYO) , nobody seems to understand why but anyway)

I have just flashed my actual rom with the english one (J6) , it worked like a charm , all my apps are still there , knox warranty is still valid etc ...

As long as you flash an official rom for Europe ,you shoud be okay , and should not loose your data
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ValenteL:
I confirm all from Post before from [MENTION=2270216]hiroko83[/MENTION]. I flashed BTU over my data from TPH and all alright.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] LuMe96:
Very strange.

Initially I was on MI6 French operator ROM and flashed to MJ3 BTU some days ago without any pb except strange Greek CSC.

Now I just tried flashing HK MJ8 and obviously flashing failed. I'm right now flashing MJ6 BTU, just like you, but failed MJ8 flashing didn't trigger KNOX on my device. Still on 0x0 for both, Know warranty void and Knox Kernel lock.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tranquillian:
I'd also like clarification on this if possible - I'm recently rooted on N9005XXUBMI7, knox 0x0, wanam xposed - set to official.

Being new to rooting I'm not clear on what my options are now for future updates. Can new firmware like MJ6/7/8 be flashed via Odin whilst keeping root?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gnadenlos:
Turn off OTA-Updates on your phone and use Universal RDLV to modify the new firmware files before flashing with odin. Universal RDLV is missing some files for the latest UK firmware, so you have to add those files manually to the tar.md5 file. Never include the MBN-Files - everything else is ok.

You can use every firmware from you main region (XX for Europe).

The only disadvantage is, that you will have to wipe your device in most cases to get a stable system. So you should use some backup tools to restore you app settings.
