Does the Note work with any networks 4g? AT&T or T-Mobile maybe?
Does it work with T-Mobile's 3g at least? If so, any idea what is up and download speeds are?
Im thinking about getting this phone.
It works on ATT's H+ "4g network", 3g network, and 2g edge network.
and T-Mobile's 2g Edge network, not 3g or 4g.
And it should work on any other GSM Carrier in the US, just check the frequencies for 3g internet(if its the same as ATT, and if it is, it's most likely a subsidy of ATT anyway)

wow, im glad i asked. looks like i'll have to move to at&t then. No way could I use this phone on just 2g

I guess tmobile is putting up a new 4G network, but will this phone work on their old AWS 1700/2100 network at 3G speeds? I want to get this phone and use it on the Wind Mobile network which uses the same standard.
Thanks!
EDIT: Oops, my bad, the Epic is on Sprint! Nevermind.
So just curious, I have this feeling that all 3G connections say H+ on the Atrix. I am at home on an AT&T 3G Microcell and it says H+ on my phone and I know for damn sure the Microcell doesn't support HSPA+ speeds.
Any input?
It will display the H+ on every connection besides 2G (edge).
Probably means HSDPA, which most of ATT's 3G network has (the 7.2 network)

Nope.
The correct answer is: AT&T has turned on HSPA+ connectivity on all towers, even if the backhaul is not there to support it.
So, this means that if you have a HSPA+ "4g" device it will show H+ irregardless of if the tower is actually broadcasting HSAP+ speeds.
Yea but a microcell device doesnt support HSPA+ thus there is nothing to turn on...

Ya, that's not correct at all. There are plenty of user towers (microcells) that haven't been patched or "turned on" for HSPA+ and they're still showing the "H+" in the top.
The reason is because AT&T 3G *IS* HSPA...so instead of saying 3G it just says H.
Can anyone confirm if these bands will work of AT&T? I found an unlocked HD2 with these bands, and bands for AUS, and need to know if they will allow this HD2 to use the 3G data service of AT&T.
GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz|HSDPA 900/2100MHz, 850/2100MHz (Australia)
This is what the overview says in the features list:
3G speed
Offers quick and easy connection speeds.
Operates on quad-band GSM/HSDPA wireless networks
For reliable wireless communication.
I don't think so because if I recall ATT needs 850/1900 for 3G.
It does look like it will work on tmobile 3G though.

That would be a good reason to return it then. It's advertised as working on all data networks and has a quad band HSDPA radio in it. If I can't get it to work on AT&T, I will return it for a refund.
Thanks for the reply, by the way.

"working on all data networks" is correct, but not 3G. Any unlocked phone works on all data networks, but not all UMTS/HSPA networks. The quad band aspect of it is because it apparently works in Aussie and Tmobile, but from what I see there not on ATT
Hi All,
I posted this in the SGS4G section, but feel I may have some luck here..
Is it possible to force data roaming to pick up an ATT 3g signal? I have Tmo but only edge where I live (USA), and for $30/month data edge just isn't going to cut it!
I have messed around with "service mode" to select a specific band frequency, but I either get edge or no service at all.
On a side note, my sgs4g is unlocked and I was able to get 3g when using a straighttalk sim (again ATT signal). Is it possible to get connected when using a Tmo sim?
Another thing I tried was (using my Tmo Sim) editing the APN settings to wap.cingular and THEN using service mode to switch frequencies. Doing this I was able to get the 3G icon, but my browser showed an error "No data connection"
Any Ideas? This could save me a HEFTY E.T.F. .... :/
no tmo and att uses different frequencys so they cant roam of each other.
My sgs4g allows me to select from 850, 900, 1800, 1900 as well as "wcdma" 1700, 1900, 2100. I am pretty sure att is at least one of those frequencies, especially since I got full 3g service with a straighttalk Sim.

That phone should get HSPA+ from T-Mobile. Are there no 3G towers in your area at all?
When I travel outside of my town (an hour of driving) I can pick up 3g, and in more populated areas I can get 4g. Friends of mine have 3g in my town through ATT (they have ATT service plans), but I can't seem to connect.
I've been reading online that ATT doesn't allow roaming for data from other carrier plans, so I am not sure if this is the true problem or if there is a way to circumvent it..

You got it. This is why the straighttalk (or an at&t) sim makes it work. There is no roaming on at&t's network with a t-mobile sim.
Since the Nexus 4 is unlocked and will work on at&t or T-Mobile is it possible to force the phone to roam on T-Mobile with an att Sim? The at&t coverage is spotty where I live and I would love to test the T-Mobile hspa+ and signal strength before possibly switching.

you wouldn't have access to Tmobile's HSPA+ speed if you roam. I know I don't get att's HSPA+ network when I roam from Tmobile to At&T. If you want to try it out, you have to go to a Tmobile store and ask for the phone.
