Because 4g/LTE is not available everywhere. and there is no boost available, on a system that does not exist yet.....
Many cities are getting these enhanced backhaul improvements, but not everywhere, and certainly not soon enough...
We need true 4g/LTE speed to improve them....g

i guess its not a boost but maybe this will help...(depending on carrier/location/rom..etc)

My fault i didn't clarify I'm using T-Mobile and by 4g i meant HSDPA+ . Sorry. I was hoping
If there was a boost it would help T-Mobile users achieve better speeds. I saw there was a way to force 4G but that was on stock Gb roms i believe.

Is there any way to convert 3g to 4g or is a hardware related? thanks
there is no way to get our phones to work with the actual 4g. the hardware in our phones wasn't built to support those speeds.
Its hardware based, you can't.
thanks for your information.

Lol, I know what he "thinks" 4g is, and so do some people on the 3g vibrant section.
The "H" mod that is included with roms is NOT 4g speeds, but you are connected to hspa (or whatever the accurate acronym is) but you're still limited to the Max speed the hardware in your phone supports. Period.

Would you guys who are on t-mobile looking for new modems be interested in maybe lower speeds but more consistency, and lower ping? I'm admist creating a couple of new modems for us and was interested if it was just brute speed you guys were looking for.
As for AT&T anyone interested in other modems? Maybe ones that don't support LTe ( a lot of people don't have LTE where they live, or prefer battery life so don't use LTE), or maybe ones with LTE&HSPA combo.
let me know guys. Its quiet a good feeling seeing you guys get better speeds and such on your phones.
I would be interested in slower but more consistsnt speeds.

I'm interested in not having lte. My phone constantly switches at my house not picking up a solid lte connection and its draining my battery.

I have the sprint S 3 but there's no 4gLTE in my area, would I be able to get the international version and use that on the sprint network? Cause lte is the reason you can't use the quad core right?

The international version doesn't have CDMA radios.
Lte will be rolling through the country later on. Get the quad if you don't want to wait til that happens

No no no, it won't work. Sprint uses CDMA radios, the international has GSM radios. You misunderstood.
Sprint is cdma but LTE is GSM technology. Just to complicate things.....

I so agree with you!!! I want to go to ATT or TMobile because they're GSM Networks but Sprint is giving me a crazy deal that I could never drop.

In much of the US CDMA coverage is superior to GSM coverage. I almost never do not have at least CDMA for voice. When I was with ATT on a GSM phone that was definitely not the case.
Well maybe TMobile is better. I find with Sprint. I only get service in about 60% of the places I go

We will get LTE with tmobile on the i717.........i thought att and tmobile used diffrent lte bands???
Sent from my SGH-T879 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah I'm using stock ROM rooted with stock modem. I'm pretty sure T-Mobile is using 1900mhz for LTE and ATT uses 1700. Really digging the late though. Download and upload isn't a big concern but the ping has dropped to about half of what it was. Very happy with T-Mobile. I think the lte will spread quickly like their 4G did.

T-Mobile doesn't use 1900Mhz for LTE, only AWS 1700Mhz.
Regardless the i717 doesn't support LTE over 1900Mhz.

Oh wow this is awesome!!!! Could you please get into your ServiceMode (dial *#0011#) and take a screenshot of your ServiceMode?
Did you change any of your APN settings in order to access LTE or you're running default epc.tmobile.com ?
Thanks!
I'll post a picture of it in service mode around 5pm. I'm at work right now and LTE isnt coming through the building very well. Also to answer your APN question I am indeed running the stock epc.tmobile.com. also thanks for clearing up the frequency bands ok both networks I wasn't quite sure.

I like the techie stuff. For instance, in that screenshot I can see that they're using Band 4 (AWS 1700/2100Mhz), LTE bandwidth is 5Mhz which tells me that the maximum possible download/upload speeds are 37mbps down / 12mbps up in that particular market, EARFCN 2175 means that they're using C block of the AWS spectrum which is 10Mhz slice (5Mhz used for downlink, and 5mhz for uplink).
Most consumers don't care about this kinda stuff, but I do
Thanks again!
Oh wow. Makes sense. Glad I could help and I'm sure this would help others too.

sorry if this has been answered before but i have been looking and found nothing.
i have a s3 thats unlocked that im using on cincinnati bell. right now i only get 2g speeds. i am looking for a way to get 3g or 4g speeds. i think all i have to do is change the apn settings. i called cincinnati bell support and the guy had no clue what i was talking bout and said the device isnt compatable but i know theres a way to do it. thanks in advance.

4G is not possible in the S3 unless you buy the LTE version.
Make sure you have a plan for 3G and in settings, the network mode is auto.
Also a place where you can get 3G connections.
