Root LTE Modifications

Has anyone tried to make any mods to the APNs to see if we could use like VZW if we are on the same freq... I havent done research to see but just wondered if it was a option..

I have a AnyCut setting that is linked to the APN "METROINTERNET"... Just seeing if this is anything we can do to modify the settings for a faster data connection to the device...

EDIT: Upon researching this... T-Mobile is a compatible freq with their 4G...

Pulled from http://forum.androidspin.com/showthread.php/2615-SETTINGS-T-Mobile-APN-Settings

Would anyone want to test?


EDIT 2: If successful, my guess being that LTE is a form of GSM, can we route this through their network and have the speeds pulled from their data?

did you try it?? N did it work
 
T-Mobile doesn't have real 4G and they don't have LTE. Their "4G" is HSPAa, and the Esteem does not support it.

But would we be able to test to see if this even works at all to see if we can pick up any data signal from them? Am asking because if it works we can go ahead and get VZs APN lists and use them... In my area, VZ is adding LTE within 3 months and their 3G speeds are at 1.8 vs 1.4 on MPCS. So like I said, would we be able to test to see if we could get any signal?

VZW uses a different frequency for LTE than MetroPCS does. In fact they even use a different frequency spacing. Verizon uses frequencies in the 700Mhz band, MetroPCS uses 1700Mhz.
 
well im with red read a lil about this not to much but red is it worth to try or will it mess up my phone cause im willing to try
 
I don't even know where to begin. I was kinda pitching the idea to the devs... Lol. I know about root but just enough to get me in trouble... If I knew about radio mods I would do it. I want to learn but out seems that no one had time to teach lol or to throw a step of some basics out for me to study and go from there

Even if you could modify the radio to operate on Verizon's LTE network it still would not get service since they have to add your ESN/IMEI to their white list of phone that are activated on their network before the tower will give it service. There is a way around this but it is a felony under federal law (ESN/IMEI cloning).
