I have the t mob version and it seems to work fine on attending but I would be interested to know if anyone has done a side by side test with an att version to see if they really do get same speed, same signal etc.
While devices are supposed to be the same, is it possible that the radio software may not be, I. E. specifically for the AT&T or the mobile network?
On my other AT&T devices the radios were updated from time to time by AT&T which is why I ask.
Anyone?
Update: I ran speed test on my T-Mobile note 3 on att versus an att Galaxy s4 a number of times. Download speed was about 50 per cent faster on the Note but Upload speed was consistently about 30 per cent of the s4. Anyone know why?

I've run speed test on my S4 (AT&T) and Note 3 (T Mobile) and they are consistently the same on AT&T LTE.

Sorry for sounding dumb. What do you mean radios were updated? Perhaps being a t mobile note 3 user on AT&T one would need to insert an active t mobile sim in for updates ?

AT&T doesn't prioritize any device, just so you all know. If that was the case, you'd all be seeing 1mbps for LTE. I used an unbranded/International Galaxy S3 on AT&T and I got the same HSPA+ speeds as my AT&T S3. The phone will just show up as an unknown device.
I have both an ATT and a T-Mobile Note 3, and the speeds are essentially the same with the same sim card.
Using Att note 3 on Att network..

You sound like a 1 percenter. Why you hogging all the Notes for yourself? Can't the little guy even have a Note?
My provider only uses HSPA +/LTE, the phone always downgrades to hspa (non +) and sometimes 3g which my provider doesn't support so I loose my data connection and it sometimes takes a really long time for it to go back to the proper hspa+ that I need it to use all the time. Anybody knows if I can somehow force the phone to use hspa+ 100% of the time?
Thanks

Switch to HSPA+ only mode. Probably wont work with phone calls unless you VOIP.
How??

You must be mixing up HSPA+ with LTE. I don't think there's a way to choose between HSPA/HSPA+/UMTS, they're all considered 3G or WCDMA (unless you're in Canada.. carriers lie here, those networks shown as 4G are actually 3G)

Well when my phone shows 3g or hspa I cant get anything to load online, it will stay on this mode for a while sometimes and then as soon as the phone shows hspa+ everything loads perfect. Every othere phone I have bought from Bell mobility in canada show hspa+ all the time.

I also had an unlocked Note 2 with exynos processor that did the same thing.

I just tried making a call with my Note 3 (S800) and it was able to make a call on HSPA+ on TELUS. I think either your location doesn't have good HSPA+ signal / it's overloaded or there's a problem with the phone, does it support all the 3G frequencies Bell uses?

I know, you said "switch to HSPA+ only but you may not be able to make calls." You can switch to LTE only and you will not be able to make calls. You can make calls on HSPA+.

call #9090#.
Will bring up configuration menu.
Should be tons of radio mode options. One should be HSPA+ only.
Must be the wrong code, *9090* doesn't do anything and *#9090# brings me to a service menu which has no radio settings

Bell mobility uses "UMTS/HSPA compatible on 850 and 1900 MHz bands" which is supported by the note 3, I just dont get why both my unlocked exynos note 2 (got rid of it 1 month after I bought it because of this problem) and also the exynos note 3 have this problem on bell mobility in canada.....

You can always edit data retry to a smaller number in your build.prop.
"ro.telephony.default_network" is the build.prop entry for which default network you're on. You could figure out which one of those corresponds to HSPA+ (probably through trial and error).
**edit
Oh, you may just have to flash a new modem then O.0
My N9005 is missing quite a few radios at the moment as well.
Wish I could do all of that lol

Maybe there is sime kind of problem with your sim and/or phone...
I'm with Virgin (owned by Bell and same network). My device is switching between 3G and HSPA+... And it's working perfectly fine.

see if this works:
Settings > More Networks (under connections) > Mobile Networks > Network Mode = choose the option which you like and see if it works.
heads up, even with settings forced from here my network sometimes fluctuates.

Verizon uses a 4GLTE sim and that is the only sim the Verizon model will accept I believe. The phone does support 3G aka CDMA. I highly recommend this phone
