Will the note I717 get T-Mobile 4g lte?

[jose224]

I wanted to know because my mom has a mote and currently has the blaze 4g radio on it if the phone does get 4g lte will I have to revert to the stock radio

 

[bob60626]

Maybe??
What's her location?

Unless the device has a radio chip that supports the 1700/2100 MHz spectrum for their LTE, it won't pick it up no matter how much software modification you do on it.

There's a big thread about TMobile LTE on the xda i717 forum; also an article somewhere about one picking up LTE out west, hopefully stock!

 

[bob60626]

The answer appears to be yes. This is roughly North and Ashland, Chicago. I saw it getting on the highway and then again getting off on our way back about 4 hours later.

I also saw some really weird upload speeds, from 30 to 70, with normal upload speeds a few days before. I don't know what to make of that.

Stock rooted, unlocked i717 with a prepaid TMobile sim. No roms, no radios, no nothin.

Stock att radio?

 

[bob60626]

Yes sir. Stock stock stock stock (because people seen to overlook that).

 

[jose224]

Do you get tmobile 3g/4g?

 

[bob60626]

Yes, via refarmed 1900 I assume.

Quick question do you know if I update my note will it lock the phone again and update the modem

I'm thinking of getting a note (i717). I'm hoping I can get decent speeds and unlocking to Tmobile.

 

[jose224]

Speeds are really great 7 mbps +

 

[tube517]

Unlocked my Gnote (i717) and I have TMobile running. I need to post screenshots of it picking up 4G LTE. I get the same icon and speedtest info (Network showing as LTE) that bob posted above. Stock and unrooted.

Are you on ics?

 

[tube517]

Are you on ics?

Nope, Gingerbread. Don't really want stock ICS or stock JB

Having problems trying to root (won't connect to my laptop). Speeds are fast, though. As good as my Amaze (HSPA+)

 

[tube517]

I am on jellybean now on a custom Rom. I am getting HSPA speeds now.

 

[debs_basu]

I am on stock rom, got 4G-LTE speeds in Dallas today!
