So I got this phone from Best Buy yesterday and they said it was 4G. I would like to know if it is actually 4G or what ROMs can i use on this.
Thanks

It will do HSPA/HSPA+ up to 7.2 Mbps, that's it. Newer GSM devices will do HSPA+ to 14.4 or 21 Mbps - these are the devices touted as "4G" by T-mobile and AT&T.
So, under that definition, no it is not a 4G phone.
The Nexus S 4G is a 4G phone in the sense that it has a WiMax radio for Sprint's 4G network.
Personally I see better speeds on AT&T's and T-Mobile's HSPA networks (2.5-3.5 Mbps on average) using the Nexus S than I did on Sprint's WiMax network (1.5-2.5 Mbps on average) around Chicago for what it's worth.
The AT&T version its NOT 4G. If someone told you that they were either mistaken our dishonest.

I don't think NS will do HSPA+
HSPA alone yes but not HSPS+

the ns wont do HSPA+, but will do HSPA. the att nexus s isnt 4g. but, that said, my tmobile nexus s will reach speeds that many 4g devices wont see, heres a speedtest from where i work in rego park queens, nyc. i average between 4-6.5mbps there usually. not 4g but pretty damn fast

I've rooted my G2X and when i reach an area where i have 3g/4g, itll say 1x at the top. my network is set to WCDMA preferred. is 1x another means of saying 3g or what? I know when i have hspa+ in the area itll say '4g' (i flashed the mod to have it say that rather than just the plain 'h')
Can anyone explain to me 1x in a nutshell?
1x is cdma2000 technology. 1x means 1 x the Radio Transmission Technology which any cdma2000 network employs and is a 1.23MHz single carrier.
Weird

You're roaming on Sprint or Verizon there. Might wanna stop that. WCDMA is non SIM carriers. So running WCDMA is having you roam on other carriers. T-Mobile doesn't support WCDMA.

No... He means in the Android settings he has it set to GSM/WCDMA preferred which means that he can use 2G and 3G/4G networks, but prefers the 3G/4G, it can actually be quite battery draining... but that's besides the point. The terminology used in the Android settings is wrong, calling GSM 2G and WCDMA 3G/4G. He isn't roaming.
Probably this guys rooted OS was adapted from some cdma phone's OS. I was had a HTC touch (which was cdma phone) but had GPRS settings on the custom NFSFAN rom.
With all the talk about cities lighting up with LTE, I just wanted to show what AT&T's HSPA+ network can do. Granted this test was done at 3am. Just last summer my area was still on EDGE. Also note that I only have two bars in my house.
Better than me... fastest I ever got was 4.4 Mbps... average is about 3.5

That's a little better than what I'm getting at Mich tech by Jim's. I get 6mbps down.It might be better late night but I've never seen 10mbps.
Spring break 2011 we got 1mbps 3g on AT&T.
Where'd you do the speed test?

I'm in Marquette. Hopefully we get lte soon, but until then I can live with hspa. I don't normally get 10, but I get 5-6 on a regular basis.

We were upgraded for 3G to Faux G over a year ago, but I still see 3Mbps at most. They have announced we will have LTE before year end.

Faux G. I like that. a lot.
mine varies greatly but I have been able to hit up to 10Mbps down
I thought I would be able to find the answer to this with a simple google search or by searching here but it's harder than I had anticipated.
Basically, I want to buy another tablet since I sold my other two a while back (LG G Slate piece of crap and the first Galaxy tab 10.1 both having 3g).
I still have a MBB plan with T-Mobile so I wanted to get a 3g/4g capable tablet and was looking into the Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000.
I just wanted to find a DIRECT answer to the question: does it work with T-Mobile 3g/4g?
I may have found some hints toward my question but I needed a direct answer from all you experts; I'm just that kind of guy =/
Thanks!
As soon as I can confirm i'll be ordering from amazon.
Confirmed. The N8000 can get T-mobile 3G and only 3G if you are in an area that has T-mobile's refarmed 1900 frequency. No 4G.

Can you please clarify your reply. Are you saying it will only get 3G in the T-Mob refarmed areas.
Can you also explain what a T-Mob refarmed area is? I may be moving to the US soon and was considering purchasing a N8000 before I go and this may have an impact on my purchase.
Thanks

Ok so, Verizon uses CDMA, and the only CDMA frequencies that would work are 2G, which is no bueno, so in that sense, I wouldn't really be able to use it on Verizon, BUT, the Nexus 5's LTE bands on the other hand are, some of them. Verizon's LTE uses the 700 and 1700 frequencies, which are both included in the Nexus 5.
So here's what I want to know, would I be able to use the Nexus 5 on Verizon, even if it'll only work in areas with LTE?
i searched google around for the similar problem and mostly they saying it wont be compatible and some sorts with their frequency and bands
Nexus 5 didn't compatible with Verizon at all.

The nexus 5 will register on the LTE network where certain markets have this band available for me Verizon does not (Hawaii). Only a certain handful of markets have this band. However Verizon won't allow the device to use the LTE network it will see it and recognize it but Verizon systems deny it.
Google and Verizon have a crippled relationship seeing the galaxy nexus slow updates and Verizon wanting to put bloatware on it and the nexus 7 LTE being denied when it first launched. I think Google wants no part in verizon.

For the Canadians folks willing to get the LG V10 like myself, I put together all the LG V10 variants and carriers+network compatibilities in this table/picture attached.
I hope it will help!
I got the H961N from expansys.ca and it works like a charm with Rogers. I love this phone so much! I just wish LG would allow us Canadians to participate in their promo they had.

seems that Rogers deploys LTE band 7 (2600 MHz), Bell and Telus don't. HOw fast is your LTE connection? I went to a Rogers store to try their sim card, and I got the LTE connection, but only 3Mbps, really, my 3G from bell delivers 10Mbps.
I just did a speedtest :
37 ms ping, 112 Mb DL, 41 Mb UL
