I'm downtown right now. Just pulled 15 down and 6.5 up on LTE.
I wish I knew how to check what frequency bands I'm using
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
How much data have you used?
Go over 5GB with your "unlimited" plan and your bumped down to WAP speeds on AT&T.
Well it just reset on the 21st and I am at about 1GB. Also I just got about 30sec of late after hanging up a phone call. Just to be sure H is LTE on aosp/aokp right?

I dont think H means LTE.
H+ is for HPSA+ which is 4g (really it is 3.5g)
It should say LTE.
No..on aosp it's displayed as
H is hspa+
4g is lte

Because it doesnt have the TMO radio band for TMO's HSPA+ (wait I forget this is the international section, are you talking about TMO US?) If It's TMO US that is why. the international doesnt have TMO's AWS band for their HSPA + so you will be stuck on 2G data speeds
Because the international S3 can only get 2g speeds on T-Mobile.
you can get hspa+ if you use it on at&t or if you are in one of the areas where T-Mobile has refarmed the 1900mhz frequency for 3g but I think I saw someone mention here yesterday that there are only 5 areas so far but they should be more widespread in the next few months.

No.
Its a hardware thing, not a software thing.
You have three choices, wait for 1900mhz to be refarmed to 3g in your area, change to at&t or put up with 2g speeds.
Simple as that really.

I can only imagine how you feel being stuck with that constantly, when I lose signal with my carrier (3 Ireland) it roams onto vodafone Ireland and I only get 2g speeds then, its unbearably slow.
When I was in America a few months back I got a tmo sim in new Orleans and had 3g speeds but when I went about 5 hours north I was roaming on at&t and they don't let you use data at all when roaming, a-holes!

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.

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.

I have unlocked my phone and switched over to AT&T temporarily while away from home because T-Mobile is still stuck on edge where I summer. AT&T has strong lte in my area, yet I'm only able to connect to 4G. I've changed apn settings around and I know the g900t supports all the same bands as g900a... I'm assuming this is a firmware issue, any additional insight is welcome or solution if anyone is in the know.

You need to have your SIM card provisioned for LTE. You'll have to supply AT&T with an IMEI for an LTE capable device. It doesn't have anything to do with your firmware or device.
Have you tried going into the dialer going *#2263# and manually selecting the LTE band there?
I've called at&t and told them about the provisioning issue and they told me that my phone was properly provisioned in the system for lte. However, they probably just said that so I'd go away haha.
