Turn on LTE

Why wouldn't do me any good if I had the option to select it? I live in Vegas they keep turning it on and off while they test it. I was at the T Mobile store today and one of the reps had their Note running on LTE.

Really dude ? NO.
The rep at the store was running a test build which enables the LTE radio to be used.
I guess we gotta wait on a leak for this ota then. I was thinking we were ready to roll without any mods but I guess not...
There is a CM10 ROM that is suposedly gonna have LTE capablilties. I have not yet tested it but I may at a later date.
Like i said. I have not yet tested. But the title shows that it may have LTE.

Enjoy
But it WILL work- in theory- once Tmobile releases the update that unlocks LTE.

I went to *#22693# and came across an LTE option on my T-Mobile Note 2, has it always been there? I thought the bands were not enabled yet.
Currently on LL4 .
Currently on LL4 .
And what if your on rooted rom? Will the option be there or will you need to revert to stock for the OTA ?
Tbh id rather wait for the tmobile lte than try and use att. I had my friend at work run speedtest on his and its not much more faster than our hspa+ right now.
My connection on average is around 13-15mps, ive peaked at 22mps too before. The att one that was ran was at about 19mps. Since att is realease 9 lte and tmobile is said to be releasing release 10 lte. Im going to wait and see.
Hopefully the 2 people here can post their speeds with the test devices to see what we can look forward too.
If your connected to LTE you should see about an 30 min to an hour less of battery life, if your connected to "4G" (3G) but your phone is constantly searching for a LTE signal you going to lose about 1:30-2 hours.
I just bought some batteries to deal with this

Any news on LTE in Vegas? Can you post your screens of ServiceMode or speedtests?If your connected to LTE you should see about an 30 min to an hour less of battery life, if your connected to "4G" (3G) but your phone is constantly searching for a LTE signal you going to lose about 1:30-2 hours.

THanks
Thanks that explains why my battery life has been fluctuating. Even when I am connected to 3G my phone still displays 4G and the battery life consumed is the same when I am connected to either type. Is there anyway to turn on the data connection automatically whenever a particular app requires it?

Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium2Well 2x5Mhz LTE they're deploying in Kansas City can only do 37mbps down and 12mbps up per sector. They don't have enough AWS spectrum there to deploy wider channel LTE. Speeds are gonna be about half of Verizon's LTE network, but latency and upload will significantly improve over HSPA+ network.
Also, keep in mind that T-Mobile downgraded their DC-HSPA+ network in Kansas City in order to deploy more spectrally efficient LTE. They are keeping HSPA+21 in both AWS and PCS.
This doesn't mean that T-Mobile isn't gonna deploy 2x10Mhz 73mbps capable LTE network in other markets. They claimed that 90% of top 25 markets will have 2x10Mhz LTE. Which means that Kansas and two more markets will have 2x5Mhz 37mbps LTE. Wait and see...2The upgrade to lte will probably not result in signifigant increases in download speed. The download speed will stay pretty close to what hspa+ is now (I'm talking in general terms, of course- for areas where they update the backhaul as well, download speeds will increase. But in most areas the backhaul update is already completed).
What LTE really improves upon is ping time and upload speeds. The ping is important for everyday browsing- the faster the ping, the less the latency and the faster the pages/data will actually start loading for you
