Chicago LTE

Has anyone lost their LTE in the Chicago land area in the last few days? I was running fine. No problems. Then two days ago I lost late coverage and haven't gotten it back since

I'm in the city (Hyde Park) and have noticed that a couple of areas where I usually have strong 4G I only have 3G. In general, though, I haven't noticed any dramatic changes.
I have talked to someone from burr ridge and they have no issues. 20 down still. Hmmmmm

Have you tried to contact AT&T to see if there are service issues in your area?

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

No 4G connectivity

I got my DNA for couple of days now and I never see it connect to 4G LTE even in the same spots that I used to get with my Galaxy Nexus, I'm kinda worried now, maybe something is wrong with my unit?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
It could be your unit or maybe your SIM card. If you have time go to a Verizon store and get a new SIM, if that doesn't work then Maybe get a new DNA

Thanks for the help, the phone just need to be activated to get 4G. Everything works now.:thumbup:

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.

Lol
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.
