Anyone tried on AT&T LTE?

Does it work on AT&T's LTE network? Anyone?

The phone does not have LTE hardware/radios. So there is no need to try it.

My mistake. I assumed the Euro version was LTE enabled.

Totally agree with pops without the 700 or AWS LTE Bands no way jose!

Hi,
I'm also wondering about LTE here in Canada on Rogers. LTE is on 2100 Mhz here. Has anyone tried entering settings and which network types are available? GSM, WCDMA, etc...?

To help clear up some confusion. There is no currently available Galaxy Note for sale that supports LTE. Here is what the European version supports.
GSM/GPRS
Frequencies 850/900/1800/1900
3G/HSPA
Frequencies 850/900/1900/2100 (Quad-Band)
LTE: No
WiMax: No
The upcoming Korean version may have LTE, but we will need to wait and see.

There are over a dozen bands worldwide approved for LTE. Just because a phone has an LTE radio doesn't mean it will work with a specific carrier. Unless they come up with a universal LTE radio that supports a dozen bands we're all kind of screwed as there won't be any roaming and we'll have to buy phones directly from the carriers. VZW and AT&T both use the 700MHz spectrum but because of slight differences in the frequency their radios are not compatible. LTE's going to be a mess.

[Q] Which note 3 for these connections

I need a note 3 that can:
connect to AT&T LTE here in the USA
And connect to T-Mobile NL in Holland
And unlocked bootloader
ATT:
850 MHz CLR 5 UMTS/HSPA+ 21Mbit/s 4G In service
1900 MHz PCS 2 UMTS/HSPA+ 21Mbit/s 4G In service
700 MHz Block B 17 LTE 4G In service Main LTE band providing complete coverage
1700/2100 MHz AWS 4 LTE 4G In service Additional LTE band for more bandwidth in select markets
1900 MHz PCS 2 LTE 4G Service starts by the end of 2013 Additional LTE band for more bandwidth in select markets[31]
2300 MHz WCS 30 LTE 4G Approved for deployment in Oct 2012[32]

TMO:
This company uses GSM1800 as their main frequency band for communications. In 2010 T-Mobile Netherlands had some problems with 3G capacity, but after investing in the network modernization they have managed to deal with this problem. So now they provide 3G services using 2100MHz band

Am I restricted to the N900-T? or is there another one you know of.
sorry for the noob question i don't know about all the bands.
Thanks!

T-Mo NL uses the 900Mhz for 2G, 2100Mhz band for 3G, and are in the process of updating to the 900Mhz band for both 2G and 3G. (Should be finished by the end of 2016.) LTE runs on the 1800Mhz band. (I can dream these numbers by now...)
You can find the bands per phone version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2574886
Does the TMo US version even work with AT&T?
Both N900-t and N9005 work in terms of frequency for 2G.
You will probably not be able to use the N900T for 3G once the network upgrade is finished here, as we're going to be using the 900Mhz as the main frequency for 3G. The N900T can't see that one. The 2100Mhz will be serving as a bandwidth increaser, not as the main band.
There's a chance you won't get 4G everywhere on the N9005 when using it in the US, as it can't see the 700/1700/1900/2300Mhz frequency.
And you're going to have to root to get rid of the region lock either way if you want to use both SIMs.

Tmo version 4G will not work with AT&T 4G. I tried with my wife's phone

T-Mobile (US) devices support the same frequencies as AT&T devices. This is coming from experience and from the fact that I've pretty much memorized all the band numbers that carriers use and phones support.
If you want a Note 3 that supports AT&T LTE in the US and HSPA+ in NL, you can either get the AT&T model or the T-Mobile model. The T-Mobile model supports one extra band (1700 MHz HSPA+) that is only used on T-Mobile US (nowhere outside of North America), so it wouldn't make a difference. Just know that it CAN be used on AT&T. The other differences between the two:
1. The T-Mobile version supports Wifi Calling (if used on T-Mobile), AT&T model doesn't.
2. AT&T removes the "Network Mode" menu from the Settings menu (so you can't force EDGE for example).
3. AT&T version has a locked bootloader. T-Mobile version doesn't.
In many instances, although 900 MHz WCDMA/HSPA+ isn't listed, it's supported. I can't confirm it because I'm in the US, and GSM carriers use (total) 850/1700/1900/2100 MHz for WCDMA, not 900 MHz. I think it's just unlisted to discourage people from exporting the US models. The only LTE frequency that North America shares in common with Europe is 2600 MHz, which is supported by the phone. I believe that's only used in urban areas in Europe.
Overall the T-Mobile model is the most open in terms of bootloader and supported frequencies (though either model would work in your case).

T-Mobile Note 4 Frequency/Band Support

For those wanting to use the note on different carriers, here are the supported bands. (Taken from the box) In North America, this phone should have full compatability with ATT and ATT mvno's. Bell and Rodgers should also be compatible in Canada.
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900
UMTS: Band 1 (2100), Band 2 (1900), Band 4 (1700), Band 5 (850)
LTE: Band 4 (1700), Band 12 (700a), Band 1 (2100), Band 2 (1900), Band 3 (1800), Band 5 (850), Band 7 (2600), Band 8 (900), Band 17 (700bc)
Here is a list of LTE networks by country.
Band 3 and 7 are the most popular in Europe. This phone also has band 8 for global roaming in the future.

Thank you I am going to rock the note 4 on T-Mobile until it's paid off. Then switch to Cricket Wireless.

Any try this and make sure it works. I have seen posts about losing lte etc. When using the tmo phone on straight talk or other att mvnos

I had the same concerns. I took a chance and the T-Mobile variant is perfect on AT&T's LTE.

Can you retest your T-Mobile Note4 with Straight Talk

Looking at you ookla speedtest image the ISP is listed as Verizon, do you have FIOS and the phone was connecting to WiFi? I'd appreciate if you can test the connection again and verify that you T-Mobile Note4 with Straight Talk doesn't can get 4GLTE on that AT&T MVNO.

That was through my computer via a wired connection. Throughput via WiFi to my T-Mobile Note 4 seems to be limited by my router (getting kinda old) to 60Mbps both ways.

OnePlus 5 Testing on Verizon

I received my OP5 today, and decided to try my Verizon SIM just for kicks. I was expecting to connect to LTE on band 2 or 4 (both of which are available in my area), but unfortunately I was not able to connect to LTE at all. I connected to 3G fine and was able to use data, just no LTE. I tried adding the vzwinternet APN, and swapped it in SIM 1 and SIM 2, without luck. Has anyone had luck getting LTE on Verizon?

How is that even possible? It's a GSM only phone, no CDMA...

After an OTA, I got LTE.Speedtest shows about 15mbps for downloading

It has CDMA. but only one version of it I think, BC0 or something?

Really? What did you to do get it to work? Did you put it in SIM1 or SIM2? Did you add any APN settings? Did you activate it on Verizon or just swap the SIM?

I withdraw my statement. The signal drop to 3G within an hour. And never got LTE again. So as some people suggest that the LTE of Verizon won't work well on Oneplus 5.

Of course you wouldn't have LTE. Verizon use Band 13 which is not supported by the OP5. Here is a list of supported bands. 3G is the best you're going to get, if you want LTE switch to T-Mobile or AT&T they will work fine.
FDD LTE: Band 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/18/19/20/25/26/28/29/30/66
TDD LTE: Band 38/39/40/41
TD-SCDMA: Band 34/39
UMTS(WCDMA): Band 1/2/4/5/8
CDMA EVDO: BC0
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

Verizon doesn't only use band 13. As I mentioned in my earlier post, I live in an area where Verizon has LTE bands 2 and 4, yet neither work on the OP5 for some reason.

Been using it now for a couple days. Get decent service with Verizon. Switches between LTE and 3G. I also have a tmobs SIM. Been using tmobs for data which is mostly LTE. So between both service providers, I will hopefully have good service everywhere.

I think band 13 is the main one they use. You might get LTE but it will be slow

Band 2 and 4 are what they use for speed and capacity, you can easily get 100Mbps+ on either of these bands in many markets, but again you don't get any LTE on Verizon for some reason.

Probably cos there's no apn settings for that connection so the phone doesn't know how to access it, see if you can find out the apn settings for LTE on Verizon and add a new apn entry

As I mentioned in my first post, I did try manually setting the apn to vzwinternet and internet without any luck

So am I reading this correctly? The OnePlus 5 doesn't work on Verizon? That's a pretty important little piece of information.

It is very well known that OP phones don't play nicely with CDMA carriers....why is this even a discussion?

How do I REALLY add or change LTE bands on my xiaomi redmi 3s?

i have been trying to change the lte bands on my phone for the longest now. i have been following a bunch of tutorials on how to do it but none of them ether hinder nor help mu issue, no matter what i try i dont unlock anymore bands or delete any. i have even tried putting nonsense in the NV section and it dosent remove my current bnads which lead me to believe that for xiaomi phones theirs additional or alternate steps to unlock more bands. has anyone done it before? i need to unlock T-mobile LTE bands
2 (1900 MHz), Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz), Band 12 (700 MHz)
because my company lycamobile is under tmobile

Network signal guru is the best and only android app that lets you change 2g,3g,4g bands in your rooted device.

i downloaded that before, but i had no idea it was able to change bands i thought it only monitors and tells you what bands your on.

LTE bands depends on your phone hardware
you just can't add any bands
it's hardware dependant i believe

That app doesn't add bands to your device but lets you choose which band do you want to lock among available bands.

Lol, pardon me for misreading the OP
This guide published here should be useful.
It’s not an easy process and there is rooting required, but it will take you through and work for you. You will also need to have your phone rooted before doing it.
All in all, it’s a complex and scary process, and if you’re not used to meddling in your smartphone’s innards, I would recommend staying away from it.
You might end up bricking your phone and losing it altogether.
Also, depending on why you are doing it, some applications of this solution are illegal and might get you in trouble with your carrier.
So just be careful
One more, according to this site, our phone did not even support those frequency which he wanted to work on his phone.
