I live about 45 minutes north of Nashville, TN and I can't wait for the LTE to move up this far. How long do you think it would take AT&T to extend their LTE coverage up about 20 more miles into the city of Bowling Green, KY?

If you haven't checked the clear coverage map yet you may have 4g in your city. The signal is still weak here but I have picked it up at WSU's campus.
Anyone live or work around downtown Columbus, Ohio?
My friends and coworkers get horrible sprint coverage in downtown on 3g and 4g.
I know sprints building penetration is bad but 3g is faster than 4g. Verizon let and at&t 3g destroys our coverage and speeds on many different sprint phones.
Anyone else experience this in Columbus, Ohio in the downtown area. It's supposed to be the best 3g/4g coverage.

Hey everyone,
When I bought the international version of Samsung Note II, the ad specifically said it would only work with EDGE lacking 3G, LTE capabilities. I know Tmobile is in the process of upgrading their towers to extend their 3G 1900+ coverage.
Funny thing happened today in Los Angeles, USA-- while I was walking my dog near a cellular tower I saw H+ on my phone (hooray no more E!). I immediately ran speedtest and had 16MB download speeds compared to my 200kb Edge. As I walked away from the tower, H+ became H which downloaded @ 7MB.
So were all these claims/scare that the international version of the Note 2 will "never" have 3G/LTE based on baseless assumptions given the lack of release in US? I'm assuming H+ = 4G/LTE?, H = 3G and E = lame.
Let me know what you guys think!

The International does NOT have LTE.
It does work on AT&T's HSPA+ network and on T-Mobile's EDGE network (2G)
However, if you're in an area where T-Mobile has already refarmed the 1900 MHz spectrum, then you will see HSDPA and HSPA+ speeds from T-Mobile (FauxG). However, in 2013 when T-Mobile starts deploying their LTE, you won't be able to get on that network, however, T-Mobile is planning on refarming the 1900 MHz spectrum for HSPA+ and 3G, so in that regards, if your area already has begun the refarm, then from now onwards you're only going to see more and more places where you pick up HSPA+

H+ is not LTE, it's just being marketed by T-mobile and AT&T to be "4G"
H+ = HSPA+
H = HSPA
How is reception on T-Mobile? I'm used to flawless 6p service.
Pretty close to what I go with my Note 4 which was very good.

Are you in an area, or have you tried in an area with only Band 12 (700 Mhz 'Extended Range LTE') available? These are usually rural areas. (check the T-Mobile coverage map). My next phone must have good Band 12 reception and it would be great if someone could verify this for me with the Axon 7. Thanks.
Saw band 12 briefly in Brooklyn today around 74 dBm outside.

Yes I've been in Band 12-only areas (Kremmling and Oak Creek, CO and surrounding areas) and the Axon 7 gets a fine signal. Comparable to my old Nexus 6 and 5X. VoLTE also works just fine. The Axon appears to not have too much trouble switching from roaming to band 12 native coverage, but occasionally if you drive through the band 12 area quite quickly the phone won't have time to notice (if you're on a roaming operator prior to hitting the B12 area). This is sometimes a problem here in the mountains as the topography inhibits all cell signals, including band 12, and in the case of both Oak Creek and Kremmling you can drive through the B12 area in under 5 minutes or so and the phone sometimes misses it totally and sticks to roaming. But of course, every phone has this problem to some degree.
But all in all I'd say the Axon 7 is on par with other devices I've tried vis-a-vis band 12 LTE.
I haven't run into any issues in my area
Doing better than my Moto X Pure 2015.
I get great signal and speeds in Indianapolis and the surrounding areas.
i was on 4 days tour. T-mobile reception was not good. many times there was no signal. few times it was on ATT roaming. i dont know it is Axon 7 or T-mobile network issue. (states i was visiting are PA,WV,NJ,MD,OH.)
Hi everyone,
Does anyone purchase this phone in CA, USA with Tmobile? Does LTE 4GB work for you OK?
I checked on https://willmyphonework.net/ USA, T-Mobile and the results were:
2G
1900MHz Device is compatible with the network carrier
3G
1900MHz Device is compatible with some of the network carriers frequencies. It may work.
4G
Band4-AWS Device is compatible with some of the network carriers frequencies. It may work.
Thank you!
I have it in Santa Clara, CA (Bay Area), its working pretty well.
I hear some bands are not supported, but I've yet to see a network drop.

Thanks, how fast do you get for 4G LTE speed?

I'm getting 40 to 50 Mbps consistently
I use it in Puerto Rico and Florida with Tmobile. I can get 80mbps. It connects to Band 4.
I'm about 30 mins north of Los Angeles and my LTE speeds are up and down. I was in the West LA area yesterday and I was seeing 22Mbps. Locally I'll see less than 1Mbps, to 12, to 22Mbps in the late evening.
I just arrived to NYC for short vacation. Tried buying T-Mobile travel SIM card (30$ for 2gb od data and 1000 minutes) but IT didnt worked at all. Guy in the store wasnt able to make IT work. So, im little bit disapointed..
I live in Florida with T-Mobile, it works but it's either 2.5G or LTE you cannot 3G or HSPA+, so if you get bad coverage it will switch to 2.5G which is extremely slow. But other then that it works great. Speeds are good with LTE
Works great in Long Beach CA, USA. 4g and decent reception. Very happy so far.

Techeretic, what APN settings are you using? I'm also in Santa Clara but can only get 3G on this phone. Thanks.
I just got my Mi A1 and I'm in the Riverside area in Temecula. I have been stuck with 3g so far, never had a 4g connection yet. I have the global version that says it supports bands 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 20(800), 38(2600), 40(2300). Am I missing something here? Is there another version other than global that you guys are using that supports different bands?
