Is it possible to have LTE speed on my GTI9300?
Is there anyway to speed up my internet connection speed?
I'm asking here as I need to know if it possible to increase the speed of the connection.
Or anything that can I do to uncap my speed limit?
The only way to get LTE is to buy a GT-I9305 (or other LTE ready phone.)
Try different modems to increase the speed of the connection, or a different network.
The networks cap speed, not the phone, so there is nothing you can do once you hit your network's cap.
Sad
I asked this a while ago and all I got was the phone not capable but then I done some research and the 3g version can run on one frequency which the 4g runs on but yet again I didn't get answer but now coming to think of it I bet that freq is for 3g signals for when 4 is ****

It can run on the right frequency but that is the GSM version it had to be adapted for 4g, so current 3g phones can't use it now.
And who needs 4g?

Even if you would manage to run the 4G frequency, your phone can't connect itself to the 4G network, since it doesn't support 4G and it wouldn't "understand" anything it would receive from the network, since 4G uses different protocols then 2G/3G.
So as long as your phone doesn't have a 4G compatible chip there's no way to use 4G

Ask your network or your networks forum .
Or go to the stickied Faqs and Guides and refer the modem thread . You can always try another modem .

Hi, I was at my grans today which is in a more urban area than where I live and noticed my Galaxy S II had a full signal and was showing the 'H' where it mostly says 3G.
I did a speed test and was very surprised at the speed. It was actually faster than my broadband at home.
Is this HSDPA or is it HSPA+? I'm not sure how you tell and what speeds you should be able to get.
I'm in Three UK by the way.

I believe the icon will show as "H+" when you're using HSPA+. So just showing "H" means HSPA.
Here you can see my HSPA+ coverage.
But does not always mean faster than HSPA
Surely at around 6Mbps, that would be HSPA+?
I've never seen the + icon on my screen.

Not really. If it says "H" its HSPA, "H+" is HSPA+. The speedtest result doesn't really tell you anything. For one, during the short time I had H+ I saw lower speeds on H+ than H, either because of immature radio firmware or because the areas most likely to get H+ first are probably the most heavily loaded/congested areas.
I frequently get 6-9mbps in speedtests on H-only, and once hit 11mbps without H+. In theory H goes up to 14.4mbps and in practice it's easy enough to get 80% of max rated speeds at off-peak times in a lot of UK cities. Just did a random test on H only, 5:43pm so not exactly off-peak. Server's in London, I'm in Edinburgh:
H+ would probably give you 12-18mbps at off-peak times but the speedtest.net app has problems going above 10mbps anyway so I doubt you'll see it without a better test.

HSPA+ is available on dongles and handsets, some other people have seen it in key areas. It's not nationwide yet and not everywhere has it. Again, you'll probably see it in the busiest areas first, and it's only a 50% increase in max speed under good conditions so won't be a huge capacity increase, and so you won't notice a big difference. You'll only see a difference on H+ if you were already able to get the top 14.4mbps speed of HSPA beforehand.
I'm on Rogers Canada with HSPA+ and I get those same speeds

poor speed here..
2-6 Mbps Miami, FL
About 2-5 in Socal , have never seen it go past my Captivate (HSDPA) yet.
This would probably be a lot more exciting to people on the TSGS2 forum. I can't imagine anyone on AT&T buying a T-Mobile phone just to gain access to AWS which doesn't even exist in Europe or Asia. Besides, the Skyrocket is the same phone but LTE and will pull 15-18MB down so if AT&T'rs wanted a bigger screen they'd get that. It's good that it works on AT&T for you T-Mobile'rs so it's not a door stop after the merger.
I don't have screen shot sorry. But LA, California I have a bug that does not let me test. -__- i will edit later when it works
No the thing is on the original gs2 I get 1- 1.2 mbps and on T-Mobile gs2 I get 6-10 mbps on At&t. That's why I wanted to know what kind of speeds At&t gs2 owners are getting that's all. I'm not suggesting anyone to go get the T mobile version.

It's not. The TSGS2 can get a theoretical 42MB down on T-Mobile using AWS so it's definately going to be faster there. Part of the reason isn't just the phone, T-Mobile's using dual-cell HSPA (link below). On AT&T's bands, it's 21MB down just like the ISGS2 and ASGS2 and AT&T's network's not dual-cell. If he's getting different results it's either because of APN settings being off, incorrect account provisioning, or AT&T's network just being randomly flaky. If OP was getting 1MB down with an ISGS2 something was horribly wrong. I get 3-4MB down in 3G cities and have gotten 10MB down on occasion when traveling in TX but routinely get 6-8MB down in fake-4G cities.

We just had updates in central Wisconsin a month or two ago and my data went from about 200k to about 2.2Mbps overnight. My evo lte connects perfectly to the new tower hardware, but is slow (100-150) on the older towers. Oddly, we also now have wimax in the woods near the upgraded tower, but it doesn't show on sprints map.
According to the local techs I know, the hardware throughout northern Wisconsin is about 50% complete and late should be set to go in all current 3g areas of the state by December...but that implied sprint just flips the switch the moment they can.
Either way, my findings are evo with new tower, great...with old tower slightly worse than my nexus.

The only time I can use 4G is when I'm at work; which is on a Verizon repeater which limits and distributes equal bandwidth to all users.
So all I use it for is netflix, skype, youtube, and to download ROMs.
What does everyone use their 4G for?
How much GB/month do y'all people average?
I get worried about them seeing how much I use during some months

Just for some downloads and youtube. Otherwise I don't find it necessary at all.
I use it because it is fast.
Why suffer through 3g when you have 4g?
I always use it whenever it is available, I don't see a reason not to. I usally get 5-40Mb/s down on 4G, and 1-3 Mb/s down on 3G.
I usually average about 12-15 GB a month.
Pr0n. Lots and lots of Pr0n. lol
Srsly though. i WOULD like to use it for netflix (at least 10-16 movies a month) but i cannot because i am capped with 4 gigs.
cant use pandora anymore because thee amount of music i listen to (added up monthly) would well surpass 4 gigs. so really i cannot see the point in 4G other than a couple youtube vidz and web text browsing. Just sayin! dont get me wrong, The faster the better. its like getting a tablet with 3G or 4G service and your plan is capped to 2 gigs a month. so whats the point?
4g isn't fun if your not on unlimited anymore. I only had 4 GB a month and used it up in 2 days. So I switched lines with my gf cause she barely uses 100mb.
