it's LTE based, so it might be a bit of a pain.

This phone has a wimax 4g radio.. it doesnt run on LTE.

MetroPCS and Verizon are rolling out LTE networks.
AT&T and T-Mobile are rolling out HSPA+ networks.
Sprint and Clearwire are rolling out an 802.16e WiMax network.
NONE OF THEM ARE 4G.
Furthermore, they're all incompatible with each other.[/thread]

thanks for the overview, captain obvious.
3.9G just doesn't have the same ring, does it? blame the marketing teams.

I agree, they could've put something like 3G+, but that doesn't have a nice enough ring to it like seeing and saying 4G..
Swyped from my beautiful EVO.

4g Speeds?

I'm thinking about switching carriers and I'm curious of other networks 4g speeds? Could you guys post a screenshot of your 4g speeds to help me with my decision?
This is what I'm currently receiving with Appalachian Wireless 4g on my S5.

40 mb/s down and 15 mb/s up is really good! Especially without full bars. I have Verizon and I average 25 down and 10 up with like 3 bars. The highest I've gone is 37 down and 15 up, with full bars pretty near a cell tower.

Great, mine one from Brazil - Porto Alegre

21.68 down, 14.98 up
Manchester, UK.

60 Mbps typical, 90 Mbps off peak (in larger cities) on one of the faster North American LTE networks. Carrier aggregation is expected to bring 125 - 150 Mbps speeds this fall.
.

Here in Toronto just did well. Right downtown though.

Rogers LTE, Toronto canada

I get a 154.38/43.26Mbps at the fastest, usualy I'm about 95/15Mbps

I want to buy a S4 But dont know what model to get

Hey guys, im looking for a Galaxy S4 and i came across two version L720T and L720. I live in KC where sprint offers 4G LTE in my area. my question is what version should i get? they are like the same price on Swappa. i plan on rooting it, installing custom roms and maybe unlocking sim for international use.

The L720T is the tri-band version, so it has LTE and Sprint Spark. As far as I know, it's harder to unlock and has a bit less rom support. I know the L720 can be unlocked for both domestic and International use.

The T version has spark so could give a boost on signal. Both can be unlocked and used domestically and internationally.
You can use any asop rom with the T version as well. You might loose spark. But not LTE.

One more big thing to consider that may or may not be a deal breaker is that the T version with spark takes away any simultaneous voice and data. With the non-spark version you can use LTE data while on voice.

Unless you have spark in your area save yourself some money and go with the L720... I had the L720T for a week and for the most part they are the same (if you aren't in a spark area).

AT&T Galaxy S7 Edge Doesn't Show LTE?

I just got my AT&T S7 edge variant and it network type only says 4g (rarely 4g+). Is this now the equivalent of LTE on this phone? I'm used to 4g meaning HSPA and seeing either 4g-LTE or just LTE (on the iPhone) for true LTE. When I look in settings->status it says it's connected to LTE but I'm getting mediocre download speeds so I thought I'd check.

try changing your IPv6 setting to 4/6 or just 4.

Didn't work. SIM card status says LTE so can I assume it's actually using LTE and AT&T decided to have a dumb network type description?

I was trying to fix your download speeds not changing the icon

Unlocked t mobile s 7 edge on different carrier

I have an s7 edge I just got unlocked from t mobile. I know i can use it internationally but I wanted to know if if i inserted my sprint sim card, would I get service on it. I see that the lte bands match but I can't find more info on it. (3g bands.

No, Sprint also uses CDMA. T-mobile phones only support GSM.

When i insert a sprint sim card I get the choice to register for sprint. But it says unable. What am I doing wrong? Also what bands exactly.?

the tmobile phone will not work on Sprint. It uses completely different antenna.It could work in AT&T though.

It picks up sprint's LTE bands, which are GSM but you cannot register because as said before, sprint uses CDMA for voice
