Exactly. The only time HSPA+ is displayed as 4G is when a carrier wants to market it like that because there is no standard on displayed signals in phones ( at least not in the states)

If you want to know what you are running and find the displayed signal label confusing then navigate to Settings -->About -->Status

Look at my signal and then look at mobile network type.

Well, I have actually been using the latest Modem of the Touchwiz 4.3 Rom by Samsung and I have finally been able to pull LTE for the first time on my phone. For me the signal bars would always read "E" (for Edge or 2g) "3G" and "H+" (which is HSPS+) but never any 4g like in the original Touch wiz 4.1 ROM. 4g IS HSPS+ but AOSP would never label it as 4g. Either way NOW I finally get the "LTE" label next to my signal meter and in the notification tile. I even got T-MO LTE after flashing this modem on a "t0lte" (GSM Unlocked) version of the Note 2 ROM. Speeds in my area were around 4-5mbps on H+ but I now get 10-12 mbps on LTE.

Here is the link: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760975430

I just wiped catche & dalvik and flashed away, no need to do it after every new ROM flash either... Unless you Odin back to stock 4.1 then it will always stick no matter what ROM you flash! Hope this helps:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pcriz:
The Touchwiz ROMs for Tmo label HSPA+ as 4G.. That is by their choosing.

HSPA+ = AOSP H+/3G = T-Mobile 4G

LTE = AOSP 4G = T-Mobile 4G LTE

As far as needing the newest modem, the Note 2 on T-Mobile has been 4G/LTE ready since the MD1 (last) modem. Only difference I notice now is that it switches networks quicker. I would make a call and it would take 5 to 10 minutes to go back to 4G/LTE..

I think I have Google Wallet working with tap and pay on this rom. (I haven't had a chance to test yet, but it let me set it up and I've never had it allow me to do that on a rom and then not work) used the lastest modified apk from this forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45899656 follow the instructions there, push to /system/app and make sure permissions are 644 / rw-r-r (i did this after a number of power cycles, but I think it would work if you do it now. go to the phone menu > developer settings > Root Access > disable root) Then reboot the phone. Before turning root back on, open google wallet. It will have the standard tap and pay setup option. Once you've enabled tap and pay, you can turn root back on.

More explanation: (stop reading if you're bored and the above has already worked for you... or failed and you just don't feel like reading how I had the idea)

I remembered that older versions (and apparently this version of the wallet app look for root on the phone to determine whether to allow tap and pay or indeed whether to open at all) In the above linked forum, the dev who modded the apk stated that he only changed two lines related to the build.prop check, but didn't mention root, so I figured I'd try turning off root in the rom and see if it worked. It appears to have done the trick! :). Anyway good luck to you all, please let me know if this works for you.

hey guys, sorry if this has been answered somewhere. I tried searching for photosphere and photo and sphere in the thread but there weren't any results. Anyway, I downloaded the photosphere add-on from the download link and flashed it in recovery, but photosphere still isn't an option in my camera app on this rom. Any suggestions? I'm using the latest nightly / weekly from 12/30/2013 and flashed with what I believe is the latest CWM recovery 6.0.4.3 I noticed that the script in the .zip file for the photosphere had specific scripts for a number of different phones, but not specifically this one, but on the download page it says that the .zip is for the note 2 as well specifically I am on sgh-t889 t-mobile us. pretty sure the name for that one is maguro Anyway if anybody has helpful information I would greatly appreciate a nudge in the right direction. Thank you. ... Awesome rom other than that. Everything is working like butter! je loves.

If this improves battery life I'm down for it but I haven't noticed any wake lag on this ROM, least not so much that I see it has a problem. In the same breath I know a lot of times this issue grows over time and I have only been back on this ROM for two days.

I haven't had that problem with this ROM. Only on touch wiz ROMs. The only place I've noticed lash on this ROM is in the phone app when pushing buttons.

external sd card mounted twice

Has anybody else noticed that the external SD card appears to be mounted twice on this rom? in storage, there are two options for external sd cards and only the first one shows the amount of space on the card, but in file explorers, there are two mounts named, "sdcard1" one is under /storage/sdcard1/ and the other is under /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1. they both seem to point to my external sdcard, so it works without any problems, but it just seems weird to have it mounted twice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] shizenyasuya:
oh noes, I just realized, the reason photosphere doesn't work (with any of the downloads I tried is because the gyroscope seems to be inverted along the x axis. Is there a fix for this?

SMS Failing

Been having an unusual issue. I'm on the latest weekly (beta.2) and using the MK7 modem. A few times a day I'll try to send a text and it will fail. My signal shows fine - usually LTE at about 3 bars. But the text will repeatedly fail until I reboot. I've tried flashing back to the UVMD modem to see if that fixed it, but it seems to still be there. I do know this was not an issue when I was using the 1.6 weekly. Anyone have any ideas as to what my be the cause?

Also while I'm here, can we dirty flash the weeklys if we're coming from another weekly? Reflashing was the next step in troubleshooting for me, but I didn't want all my apps to have to reinstall.

Anyone having issues maintaining an LTE connection on the latest weekly? I have noticed after an unspecified amount of time my phone will show my signal as 3G / H+ I will move to an area I know as full LTE coverage and my phone will never switch over. I then have to access the Testing menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and then manually change from WCDMA preferred to LTE/GSM auto. Hours later I would have to repeat, etc...

Days and a couple builds later, was glad to read your post. Glad might not be the best choice of words; meant I can concur. I usually have Play Store in the bottom right dock and it too disappears after a reboot. It's almost as if the launcher wants to revert to stock, Nova. Something gets hung up. Not that big a deal. I am using 12/30 PA gapps because they notify on available app updates automatically without having to go in and check the store. Had some problems with Slim AIO gapps, like inability to re-download paid for apps. Seems they don't flush /data/data properly upon building cache post flash (using Philz recovery) and I have to use my root explorer to delete any residual proprietary app folders or I get a couple different errors in the store, e.g. -24 and -91. Slim gapps are great! They just might need a good tweak.

Can anyone help me understand why my phone keeps saying that I am running out of storage space? Please see attached screen shot.

This may be related, but why is internal storage shown three times? I have storage/emulated/legacy, storage/emulated/0, and storage/sdcard0 all with the same stuff. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LancerV:
Download Diskinfo from the playstore and see what system partition is most likely full
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prbassplayer:
I'd bet you have something in /data/media that isn't being seen as sdcard (probably because of permission problem from earlier builds for 4.4). Like Lancer said disk infor is a simple but powerful tool to hunt that down.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dayh8:
Thanks for the response, LancerV. I tried to do that, but the store gave me an insufficient storage message (which obviously isn't true, as you can see by the screenshot as compared to the paltry size of the diskinfo app). Any other ideas on where to proceed from here?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LancerV:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LancerV:
So you cant install any app from the playstore?

I would check:

/system 1.7gb limit

/cache 1.2gb limit

/data Internal Storage Limit
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dayh8:
After wandering through the three internal storage files I mentioned above (emulated legacy, emulated 0, and 0) and deleting since stuff that was clearly not supposed to be there (leftovers from /data, /media, etc) I was able to download diskinfo. I've attached the two most relevant screen shots from that. It looks to me like the 'emulated' files are unnecessary, and that the real drive is simply 'storage/sdcard0) but I'm not sure I'm reading things right, or if it is safe to delete those emulated folders. Thanks again for the input and help.

Am I missing something, or is this ROM not rooted?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prbassplayer:
Did you enable it on dev options? Also don't use art :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] GreatSudoku:
Thanks for the tip. I'm used to Root either being on or being off. It seems so backwards to hide root that deep in a ROM. I'm used to it being on or being off, if I don't see it I flash root via recovery, which I did in this instance. Nothing in the FAQ about "where's root" either. Maybe when trying a root app it would be wise to have a message pop up telling the user where to go to turn root on. Kind of like when you try to install a local apk and you're taken to the area to enable unknown sources. Would also be a lot simpler to have root enabled by default and go to dev option to turn it off rather than go there to turn it on. Chances are if you're flashing a ROM yourself, you're gonna want root, just makes extra work and digging for the target audience.

I as well am having camera issues. It's nice to know that's a common problem, and not just from me flashing root instead of looking behind the 3rd refrigerator from the left in the sub-sub basement to enable it.
