Little point asking your question here.
What you have purchased is not a Note II, and isn't going to be compatible with *any* Note II ROMs.

It may look like a Note II, but that is where the similarity ends.

I know its not a real Note 2 . I was just wondering if there was anything compatible with it . Thanks though .

Sucks, no successful root yet. The specs state that one of the sim slots is capable of 1900mhz wcdma 3g. T-Mobile has been rolling it out in my area for unlocked iphones. I am in San Gabriel, CA. What city are you in?

I'm in Ann Arbor Michigan at the moment. Yeah I've heard T-Mobile is letting the frequency 1900 get full 3G/4G . I heard that Seattle, Las Vegas, Washington, DC, and the New York metro are going to be the first to get it. I'm not getting 3G in my area though . Idk why. Oh and by the when you get your phone, the battery might seem like its running down fast at first but after a couple of charges it lasts longer.

Thanks for that info Alexander. Who did you order yours from? How long did it take to get to you?

Something already went wrong . I tried to get a new bootanimation and sofbricked my phone.. Preloader appers and disappears. I think its my USB (My dog ate the one that came with the phone) OH! The charging port on the phone needs a longer pin to go in the phone just in case you mess up the one that came with the phone. Lol. Im getting a new one.. I'm broke now.. BUT the one I'm getting looks JUST like the Note and it has a stylus ! and this is the amazing part.. It has a 12.0 mp camera and 720p display. I need a life :/

Turn on LTE

Does anyone have the link handy for the post on how to activate LTE on the Note 2 (by popping out your sim) ? I searched for it, but didnt find it for some reason.

That's not really turning on lte. I believe it was just to have LTE as a option, but it's not like it'll do you any good.

Why wouldn't do me any good if I had the option to select it? I live in Vegas they keep turning it on and off while they test it. I was at the T Mobile store today and one of the reps had their Note running on LTE.

I guess we gotta wait on a leak for this ota then. I was thinking we were ready to roll without any mods but I guess not...

There's already a person with it activated in a test device. He said it has new apns and is based on android 4.1.2, so when you see that update we will have LTE. Right now it is currently only going to be active in Las Vegas, and Kansas City.

There is a CM10 ROM that is suposedly gonna have LTE capablilties. I have not yet tested it but I may at a later date.

I went to *#22693# and came across an LTE option on my T-Mobile Note 2, has it always been there? I thought the bands were not enabled yet.
Currently on LL4 .

Curious, when lte comes out, would it consume a lot more battery power than the current 4g?

And what if your on rooted rom? Will the option be there or will you need to revert to stock for the OTA ?

Tbh id rather wait for the tmobile lte than try and use att. I had my friend at work run speedtest on his and its not much more faster than our hspa+ right now.
My connection on average is around 13-15mps, ive peaked at 22mps too before. The att one that was ran was at about 19mps. Since att is realease 9 lte and tmobile is said to be releasing release 10 lte. Im going to wait and see.
Hopefully the 2 people here can post their speeds with the test devices to see what we can look forward too.

If your connected to LTE you should see about an 30 min to an hour less of battery life, if your connected to "4G" (3G) but your phone is constantly searching for a LTE signal you going to lose about 1:30-2 hours.
I just bought some batteries to deal with this

Any news on LTE in Vegas? Can you post your screens of ServiceMode or speedtests?
THanks

Thanks that explains why my battery life has been fluctuating. Even when I am connected to 3G my phone still displays 4G and the battery life consumed is the same when I am connected to either type. Is there anyway to turn on the data connection automatically whenever a particular app requires it?

Have you tried to make the speed test at night?
Maybe the cell you are connected to just had a peak load (is this a valid term?) while you tested the speed?

I tested it last night and this morning when i woke up and it was still the same!!
I aint got a clue whats going on?
Could it be the phone? The old micro sim? I really have no idea

I would say it's most probably the 3 network being temperamental. You can try and different sim from 3 jic.

What about your friends who are on the same network ?
I have huge variations in download speed depending on time, location, accessed sites, etc... For example my provider (Free Mobile) have very poor connections to google servers, simply working around it using a VPN results in a tenfold speed improvment. Of course, all this is considered "normal".
Just to say that whatever they say it is more likely to be a network problem than a phone problem.
There is also this thing called fast dormancy that is enabled by default on the Note 2 (don't know about the iPhone). This is not a good thing if your network doesn't support it but while it may have an effect on battery life, I am not sure about data transfer speed.

None of my friends are on same network, i changed my sim but still same thing so i phoned technical support and they asked me to put sim back in iphone 4 and check with speed test so i did and i got 1.9 mbs so on my note 2 im getting like 1.5 mbs and iphone 4 im gettin 1.9 mbs?? Does that sound like a network problem or handset problem?? Also i done speed test outside my sons school and still got like 1.8 mbs on my note 2!!
I mean i hope its not a handset problem cos ive just set it all up and its a hassle to have to wait in for another delivery.

The iPhone could have a slightly stronger 3g chip for reception. I don't think think it's a fault with the note 2.

Try a different modem in the phone. Sometimes the modem that comes with the phone is not the best for your area. You can find a list of modems here and how to flash by doing a search.

Are you using exactly the same speed test apps on both devices? Are they both connecting to the same server to run the tests? If the answer to either of those questions are no, then the differences are almost certainly just down to server/app differences. Hell, even if you're using the same app and server across the 2 platforms, that's no guarantee. Also, it's not impossible that the 2 devices are using different cells, which would also have an affect.
0.4mbs difference between the two is pretty negligible, really.

im 4.1.1 because i seem to have battery drain on 4.1.2, and not three branded, im BTU (unbranded) samfirmware has them

dazza, don't overlook the floatingfatman's post. Although 0.4mb is more than a 25% drop, in real terms it's tiny. A number of factors could cause this.
Ultimately if you are in the area in which you're predominantly intending to use data <3mb speeds from both devices are poor. You should consider switching providers, even if you just signed up to a new contract you might still be in the grace period. If I were you I will try all the different providers (they all provide free Sims - or ask your friends) until you find the one with the best speeds.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app

I've tested all UK networks and Three is fastes and best for heavy internet users... Unlimited data and awesome speeds...
I've never seen such a slow speeds on it... There must be something wrong with your settings or phone have faulty radio...
I'm on Three as well and getting speeds 10-25Mbps all the time

Have you tried putting your phone to 3g only mode? wcdma only

The technical team phoned me back after lookin into it and they told me that the mast near me is very congested and that its due an upgrade on the 14th april and that the upgrade will really increase the speeds, i dont know how true that is but ill take his word for it, but in the mean time im gonna flash 4.1.1 btu firmware with odin and see if that helps.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Yes the way mobiles work, if there is a backhaul problem from the mast, you'll get slow speeds. There are so many factors at play when it comes to data speeds. Fiddle with firmware all you want, but it won't make any difference.

Have you tried turning it on and off? /troll
In certain areas my h+ speed is very poor, but in the city its extremely fast, it depends on your location, provider and apn settings

So i tried reverting back to 4.1.1 unbranded stock and that didnt make any difference at all, so i just went back to my branded 3 uk rom!! I live in battersea which is quite close to the middle of london so i wouldve thought that the data wouldve been quite good.
It made me laugh though cos the technical guy who phoned me was trying to explain that 2mbs was good in terms of data speeds!! So i suppose that ill just have to wait for the mast to be upgraded and see if that helps, theres not really much else i can do!!

XAS with LTE SIM?

Hello folks..
Im just wondering if anyone of you TRIED to insert an LTE SIM to Xperia Acro S? Im wondering about the mobile internet speed if possible. If you have LTE sim with data, can you go try to insert it to your Acro S and do a speedtest?
THank you and hoping to hear from you :laugh:

If it supports it i see why it shouldent work

Thanks for the response.. you know, im outdoor most of the times with my laptop so USB tethering is vital for me. Now, Im considering to buy another LTE phone, can you guys suggest some which costs just right?
Im thinking this Xperia SP but color saturation are poor like Z and V is an older model so I guess i dont want it. Plus the 8gb internal storage is annoying.. if you have any other phones to recommend within the same price range will be appreciated a lot

I have a SM-P601 (3G); it's my third 3G Samsung tablet. They are pretty much the same as the Wi-Fi models their based on. They have a GSM radio and additional antenna that the Wi-Fi models don't. They also have a dialer and MMS app and are in fact "giant phones." Because of the phone feature additional functions are activated within various apps (EG: share via MMS, and call). Other than that they are identical.
If you are importing one from another selling region there can be some funkiness with the apps that are preloaded. For example I had to side load Samsung Hub and can't use Samsung Music because I'm using a Latin American N10.1-14 in the U.S. The same applies to any other apps that third party developers place a region restriction on.

No, they are not identical. The wifi version has a different processor than the 3G and LTE versions.

Like said above just processor is different. Wife use exynos and the rest have snapdragon. That's only difference.
