You're misinformed, unfortunately. The Galaxy S3 does not have WiMax, only LTE.
setting<more settings<mobile networks<network mode< and LTE/CDMA.
it will require a restart of the phone. hope this helped.
If you are in an lte zone do what post 3 says and you should be up and running, but if not im sorry to tell you but post 2 is correct there is no wimax, only lte but dont worry its much faster and im sure will head to area soon :good:
Thanks i was surely misinformed i thought it had wimax too. Had no clue.

I just bought my phone today and i use google and can't come up with any answer to as if this phone has 4G internet. Is there a option on the phone im missing?
Ohhhh man what a question
Jk lol not really.
This phone is an LTE phone......for now, not very many cities have LTE so u.less your in one of the cities where its been rolled out already, all youre gonna have is 3g. The 4G I think ur talkin about is WiMAX which is what the EVO 4G had.

Awww crapi have 14 days to try the phone and almost feel afraid to keep it. Is there no alternatives?
Not really, I mean, in my area 3g really sucks I can barely download a song if I wanted to. Even that can't make me return this phone. I plan on waiting till LTE gets rolled out in my area. With that said, some people get really good speeds on 3G maybe you will too.
In the end its more about preference. If you want 4G you're gonna have to stick with a WiMAX enabled phone for now.

At least you'll see it before I do here in WV. lol
I just moved here from DE for work so it'll be a while before I see LTE here
Are you near Wilmington? I know they have Wimax there so maybe LTE isn't far off around there.

yes i live neaqr wilmington. i live in bear. why would sprint make a LTE phone and dont have LTE everywhere.
you may see it in the actual city of Wilmington but I doubt youll ever get it in Bear De, maybe in Newark as well since UD is there. My rinky dink little town of Oxford Pa will never see lte and Ive come to grips with that
I live in an area where I'm used to getting 1x and a bar of 3G, however today I noticed 4G and just now an icon popped up saying 4G LTE. Whats the difference? Given, vzw store said we would get 4g within a few months but didn't expect it this soon
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
lol the difference can be up to like 40x faster than 3g.... my 3g here gets like 1mbps download.. 4g gets like 20 on a good day

I understand your question. It's the same thing on VZW. I think you just missed the LTE part the first time.

At times I see the "LTE" part of the icon disappear and reappear. I've noticed no difference in speed.

I wonder if you have an overlap of network types between VZW and another carrier like AT&T or something like that?
the DNA can only connect to Verizon's LTE spectrum IIRC. It can do basically all GSM/CDMA but not LTE.
I'm wondering if maybe he has a custom ROM or a custom status bar. If he is stock then that icon change is weird. And as stated, the DNA can only connect to Verizon's LTE. It does not support LTE from AT&T as it runs on a different frequency.

Shouldn't be a difference between 4G and 4GLTE. Your area is probably getting prepped for 4G. Expect it to go on and off for several days, even weeks, before it is officially turned on.

Wow, what is up with your terrible 4GLTE speeds? That is like 3G speed on the download..
I just ran a test here in RP and got 14mbps down and almost 6up.

Really? Consistently? There's something out of whack here. I get d/l anywhere between 16-30, and u/l between 4-12 while on VZW 4G LTE.
Just now I got 16 down, 6 up.

Is that just in one place such as your house, or everywhere you go?

I get 4G when I go to work 45 minutes away and its speeds are around 6-12 down and 1 up, but the past year we had 4g at work and never saw LTE come up on my razr or the DNA in the past month till last night. Also stock, rooted, s-off, unlocked

Everywhere in my area. It's definitely server-side. I get good speeds at work.(30 minutes away)
Here's work.

You need to call tech support and complain, that's no where near the speeds you should be getting. If you call tech support usually they'll come out and figure out what's wrong.

Seeing how your area just got LTE, expect it to be slow for awhile. When my area got it a year and a half ago, it was pretty sucky for the first few weeks. Most likely they are setting everything up. Give it some time and it should start getting faster.
If you do live in an area that has had LTE for more than a month and you still have this speed, you should call Verizon.

It's been more than a month and it's stuck on Edge. Even when I go to the areas where I would have a strong signal of 4G, it doesn't change into 4G! This is really bugging me. My phone is S-ON, bootloader unlocked, and running Viper Amaze 1.7.0.1. Oh yeah, and T-Mobile is my carrier!

You need to check your apns and put in the correct t-mobile apn so it will give you the proper hspa+ rather than edge.

Check and make sure your phone isn't set to GSM only under network settings.

Got it! You guys are right, it was on GSM only. I thought my radio got messed up. So is there anyway to get 4GLTE on this phone?
I usually set my phone to GSM Only when I go out, because it saves a lot of battery and still lets me stay connected to the internet.

There is no way to get lte on this phone it doesn't have lte. If it did people would have abysmal battery life because lte consumes too much battery.

HSPA+ is just fine for me. It's beaten my friend's Verizon LTE on many occasions.

Me too. :laugh: Your friend's Verizon LTE was slow likely due to tower congestion. That's when too many people are on the tower and the bandwidth becomes tiny and people get slow data. I hope it doesn't happen to future T-mobile LTE,
My galaxy S6 is stuck on Edge as network type and it refuses to get out of GSM Only even if I try to set preferred network type. I can see the other network types displayed but when I press them it switches back immediately to GSM Only
Hey guys, I just ported over my number and switched over from Verizon to the One on T-Mobile. As I'm typing this, I'm still on my Verizon Galaxy S4 since I currently only have a temporary T-Mobile number until the switch is complete.
Anyhow, I don't believe I have LTE right now. My coworker has the One and was pulling down almost 30mbps and I can't even hit 2mbps. Play Store downloads are slow, etc.
I live in San Diego which has LTE. I have attached a couple screen shots of what I'm seeing. Am I connected to LTE? Could it be that I won't get it until my switch is complete? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I work for T-Mobile and also have the One and no your not on LTE. You are on hspa+. Kind of like 4g lite. When you are in a 4g LTE area, you will a tiny 4g then below it the letters LTE. Hope that helps. Update to the newest software update to get better signal out of the One
