[Q] enable 4g?

Hi, have a galaxy note 2 and I am on 3 uk. I was thinking of getting a 4g phone so I can take use of dc-hsdpa, and I was wondering how easy it is to enable the 4g cop on the phone? Thanks

The n4 runs on 3g/4g by default, its lte that needs to be enabled through the dialer. But lte only works in canada and some us cities, don't think any uk carrier supports lte band 4.

Ok thanks for the reply. My carrier are using DC-HSDPA and only the 4g phones have the bands to support it? Any ideas

The n4 does support 42mbps dc-hsdpa http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_nexus_4_e960-5048.php

Can I use this as LTE only on Verizon?

It's probably been asked before, but I couldn't find it with a search, so here goes:
The recent Nexus 7 announcement with LTE capability on Verizon got me thinking about how Verizon treats its LTE since Google forced some open network agreement concerning the LTE bands Verizon is using. I'm assuming that Verizon won't sell the Nexus 7 and that you'll have to buy it from Google, then get an LTE SIM card from Verizon separately.
So, would it work to open a tablet line for LTE data only on Verizon and put the SIM card into a Nexus 4, then flash whatever tweaks are needed to get the LTE up and running? I know how to get VoIP and ToIP, so I really wouldn't need the 2G network.

no because verizon doesnt use the lte band that the nexus 4 can.

The Nexus 4 supports band 4 LTE (1700 MHz), yes? Verizon purchased 1700 spectrum a while back to use to help expand its LTE network. So, theoretically, when the 1700 MHz Verizon LTE comes out, would it work?

[Q] Question about Note III Tmobile version 4G frequency band

I knew that TMobile's 4G was on 1700Mhz and they were expanding their network on 1900Mhz to attract unlocked ATT users. That being said, the coverage of 1900Mhz is smaller than 1700Mhz for sure.
According to the Note III spec on Tmobile, it didn't show 1700Mhz, does it mean that the Note 3 Tmobile version cannot work on 1700Mhz of TMobile but 1900Mhz only? Or, 4G LTE is only on 1900Mhz?

Verizon N3 LTE Bands? (AWS)

With verizon now opening up the LTE 4 band (AWS) on certain phones I was wondering if the Note 3 (on verizon) has this band available? The FCC website is down atm (thanks congress) so I can't check.

yes it does. s4 and note 3 are first to have i believe

Verizon Note 3 works for LTE band 4?

My question is does Verizon Note 3 support LTE band 4? And I know what Verizon LTE band 4 should be compatible with the T-mobile LTE band 4 does that mean if Verizon Note 3 if support LTE band 4 and it will get LTE on T-mobile?
Thanks ahead.

Several users in the update thread who say they live in AWS areas are still seeing the same speeds as the old software (MI9)

So the verizon note 3 doesnt have band 4 enabled? I wanted to get it for use on tmobile lte since I was getting a good deal on it. Any info would be appreciated.

I do not see it is enabled on I9 firmware, maybe it will be enabled on later update.

If I can get this phone under 500 no contract.. but my main purpose is to use it on tmobile LTE.. should i buy it?

No, I think you shouldn't buy it, because if you can't use the T-mobile 4G then it is not worth it.

I guess I wont be buying it. Thanks for the insight. If anyone finds out anything about tmobile 4g LTE on this model let me know
