H means 3G+. This is the upgraded network from AT&T. It is faster. This is what T-mobile advertises as "4G" although that is not true. So this is normal. You will occasionally drop to 3G in areas where HSPA+ has not been implemented yet.
As for ATT DR, I am not sure what that is. But, I would not worry about it too much. If you are using an AT&T SIM, and have AT&T coverage in your area then you are fine.
just talked to my friend who is an att rep. he said att dr may just be the data gateway for android devices.

I was under the impression that when the HSUPA cap was lifted through 4.1.83 that our phones would show HSPA instead of still showing HSDPA under Access Points.
Am I looking in the wrong place on the phone, or is my understanding incorrect.............the latter being normal for me!
check settings -> about phone -> Status
mine says HSPA

Thankee!
Showing HSPA there.
shouldn't it say hspa+ ?? isn't hspa and hspa+ different? I saw this article regarding this topic:
"For the sake of this paper, the terms UMTS, HSPA, and HSPA+ will be used interchangeableand synonymously. Technically, there are differences between UMTS, HSPA, and HSPA+, butmost operators are deploying the latest solutions. "

It looks like you answered your own question with the quote. The question is if there is a difference in the way they are all labeled on the phone itself.
mine shows UTMS and when it's transferring data HSDPA but then again i am not in the US.
Your phone should show UTMS most of the time. If you are not knowingly transferring data check your running programs

Agreed so do we truly have hspa+ or just hspa? How can we know?
By the way shouldn't I be seeing h+ symbol? I only see h while transferring data despite my system info saying Hspa?
UMTS here too
mine says Mobile Network Type HSDPA in so cal.
Should it says HSPA. I am confused.
On 4.1.83
This is strange... I'm on fido and I think we share rogers towers and they always advertise hsdpa but yet its showing up hspa on mine.
Edit: btw I'm on the telstra.. and I've set it to wcdma only.

Okay so I have successfully upgraded to 1.8.3 and checked my phone settings which states I'm using hspa. No + and my lil h in the corner of the system tray is also alone with no + accompanying it. I have a smartphone unlimited plan, not the 4g plan or whatever. Is this what 4g should look like? If not what are your apn settings? I am located in cali on att. How do I know for sure?

Hey you guys has anyone experienced this happening?
After flashing each T-mobile modem individually I can not receive a LTE signal, I can however receive ATT 4G and T-mobile seems to work. After flashing back to the stock ATT modem is when I receive LTE as normal.
I'd appreciate any comments/suggestions/stories about this. Help!
Uhm tmobile doesnt have lte.. it only has hspa + (4g) I wish it did tho...I wish it did
I must have forgotten to mention I am using At&t SIM card and I'm not getting an LTE signal (only 4G) after flashing to the T-mobile modems available to gain T-mobile's 4G/HSPA+
any ideas why I'm not getting Att LTE now?
Oh sorry i misunderstood. Idk man I cant offer much help then. Did you try resetting your apn settings? Also what rom are you on? GB or ICS?
no havent tried that , how do i do that on the gnote?
i'm on GB rom
Its going to be in the settings go to networks and there should be apn in there. These are the APN settings
Well . Here is AT&T 's LTE apn anyways ..

i'm scratching my head to read your post OP. You complained that you didn't get LTE signal after you flashed Tmobile modem, but you have LTE when you flashed back to ATT modem and you are using ATT SIM.
I still don't get it why the heck you need to flash Tmobile modem for while using ATT SIM?

I have SIM cards for both carriers but I mostly use AT&T's.
I'm sorry but the T-Mobile and AT&T modems are mutually exclusive. The T-Mobile modems are pulled from other devices that do not have lte hardware. The AT&T modem does not enable the T-Mobile HSPA+ bands. You can't have both. If you honestly use both Sims, keep a copy of each modem and flash whenever you swap.

I appreciate the reply. So you are saying in order for me to receive either, HSPA+ or LTE, that I have to flash back and fourth...
Here is the source of the method I used:
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...e-3g4g-hspa-on-your-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717/
and quote from that tutorial at the very bottom of that page:
"There’s also a hack you can switch bands by dialing *#2263# but you don’t have to do this, just leave it on Auto so you can use both T-Mobile and AT&T SIM cards with one modem. No, you don’t have to flash the AT&T modem back to use AT&T. "
My son is using a 920 on Tmobile that I got through Rogers. It has been mostly working fine, but occasionally no MMS or delayed texts, that kind of thing. At the same time, I got a major update to my Galaxy Note II that turned on the LTE capabilities. When I looked at the APN on the Note II, it was new and different. Plugging it in to the boy's 920 seemed to work just fine. We are not in an area with LTE yet, so I can't vouch for whether that works or not.
If anyone else wants to try it:
The apn name was "T-mobile US LTE" with address fast.t-mobile.com
MMSC is mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MCC 310
MNC260
APN Protocol IPv4
I didn't see anyplace to put in the MCC or MNC
Let me know if it works for others, and whether those in LTE areas of Tmobile get the LTE service.
Hey guys,
Recently switched from AT&T to Straight Talk and I have no HPSA+ nor LTE. I just see the H icon (I am on CFXE). I've flashed a bunch of stuff but before the most recent ROM installation I installed the AT&T JB radio (from the radios thread). In addition, a Straight Talk APN appeared automatically which lines up with the values they suggest you put in:
Name: StraightTalk ATT
APN: tfdata
Port: 80
MMSC: http://mms-tf.net
MMS Proxy: mms3.tracfone.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN type: default,supl,mms
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
APN enable/disable: APN enabled (grayed out, box checked)
Any suggestions? Anyone on ST have LTE working?
Thanks!
You need to call their customer service, ask to be transferred since you have a being your own device) tell them you need lte provisioned in your lte phone... it took me 4 calls but they finally did it for me... otherwise use the old apn
Also buying a new sim will unlock lte

Yeah I bought my sim back in December but they were able to add it so you should be good.... They will all tell you that they don't offer lte on art Sims then they will tell you to change the apn to the old one... Just be persistent lol most of them are clueless...

Did you make sure that LTE is enabled in Network Mode? For some reason, I change it to GSM/WCDMA/LTE and it changes right back to WCDMA only. I can't figure it out.
Straight Talk has awful customer swervice
That awful customer service is largely why it is so inexpensive.

Make sure you have the correct APN settings and have fun. HSPA+ only I believe.
Any trick to getting the stock SIM out other than resorting to tweezers? It's a tight fit in there.
I used a pencil eraser.
I am planning to buy my friends LG G3 from verizon which he has activated on verizon and is been using it for a week or so. Do I need to unlock that phone to use it with my AT&T sim card? Will it be able to access 4G LTE?

You can pop in your SIM, set the correct APNs and it will work fine on AT&T. Some people report they have LTE if AT&T uses band 4 in your area, otherwise you will HSPA/HSPA+
Here is a link for the correct APNs: http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB424489&cv=820#fbid=ujA3THHGA0a
no 4g lte?
I tried the AT&T sim with the apn settings, but only getting H ? Not getting 4G or 4G LTE speed. Please help me out here.

Are you saying this because it shows "H" on that status bar or you ran a speed test and the speeds are that of h and not HSPA+ ?
With the correct APN settings the VS985 will get 4gLTE on both T-Mobile or AT&T (AIO/Cricket too), but only if they are using band4 in your area. Otherwise, H, H+, EDGE, whatever else is available works fine. Remember to reboot after settings things up.
