[Q] T-mobile 3G or LTE??

[banishedskull]

I just got my Jetstream and love it! Its unlocked and i just got a tmobile prepaid sim card. I think I have my APN right cause I can get SMS and EDGE to work but I was wondering if anyone has used it on T-mobile and gotten 3G or LTE to work, and how. Any ideas would be appreciated!

First of all, let me preface this with the fact that this is my experience, so ymmv.

I tried it with tmobile 3G here in Orlando (the js won't do the tmo lte frequencies, iirc) and it was absolutely horrid. I've since moved it to at&t lte and it is obviously much faster, though, not quite as fast as my galaxy s3.

Hope that helps.

I'm up in Washington State, and service is great up here.
Most of the areas I frequent have the re-farmed 1900mhz PCS spectrum, so I've been able to use the Jetstream on cellular all the time.
I took a couple screenshots of what we're working with. I apologize in advance, the DPI isn't very forgiving using the SpeedTest app on the tablet.

The first is a screenshot of the cell info - showing that the JS is connected to T-Mobile's Network.
The second are the SpeedTest results on the Jetstream, on the 1900mhz network.
The third are the SpeedTest results on my GS3, on the 1700/2100mhz AWS network.

UPDATE!
I've been getting areas of the state where I'm getting 4G LTE. the icon changes and everything, I'm not with the tablet currently but will post screenshots when I'm home. success!

How do you take a screen shot on it?

How do you take a screen shot on it?

If you have a stylus then you can tap the pen icon -- the fourth icon on the status bar. My Jetstream has a list of two options here: one that takes you to a nearly barren Pen settings screen and one that lets you Take a screenshot. From this point on it is self explanatory.

If you don't have a stylus then I hope you have root. I believe that all screen capture apps in the market require root. I have had success (on my Jetstream) with an app called Screen Capture. The following is a QR code link.

If you don't have a stylus or root then I think that you are out of luck. Someone please chime in if you have another solution.
