I'm thinking about buying the s2 skyrocket, and as I already know, LTE drains the battery very fast.
The problem is that I dont have LTE in my country and I was wondering whether or not the LTE will still drain the battery even when there
is no LTE reception, by constantly searching for LTE network?
Thanx in advance!
No, just switch to H+

AT&T LTE phones don't have the option to switch to 3g or turn off LTE, so that simply won't work.

I'm guessing the phone is unlocked... If you can't get it to change manually by going into network selection and searching for networks manually, install a non at&t modem. (Rogers, Bell) than try again. If you are on stock touchwiz than you're SOL.

It should let you as long as you aren't on touchwiz. Just go to the network selector, choose your network from the list, and then set it to GSM/WCDMA preferred. Or check use 2G networks only if that's what floats your boat. I'm on AT&T using AOKP and it just worked for me.
EDIT: Almost forgot, you have to redo it every time you reboot your phone.

It has nothing to do with TouchWiz. It's the modem. Use a non AT&T modem and you will be able to switch to H+ on a TouchWiz rom.

Ok thanks. Can you also tell me then how is the battery life on this phone particularly in non Lte area?

So many scenarios on battery life.
Signal strength, Apps, Wakelocks, brightness the list goes on.
You will have to play with it and give and take for your liking.
The best I've gotten was 3 days some odd hours.
Its a great phone you will not be disappointed.
We have an awesome community willing to help with any and all problems.
With that said you need to do your homework first and READ READ READ.

So I'll just ask it differently then - Does the battery last a whole day (from morning to night) on non-LTE areas (auto brightness always on)
when only doing light-moderate use (just phone calls, texting, light apps like calculator, camera, playing a little music/videos, no gaming, no wifi, no internet)
Thanks!

LTE radio will not turn on if network apn doesn't provide it ..
So if network doesn't provide LTE , phone will connect to H+ if available ... No extra battery drain (from LTE) in this scenario.. I had a similar situation when I was on Starighttalk , they don't provide LTE , my location is an LTE market if I was using an at&t sim
Although it's a great phone , but it is getting old nowadays .. You might think of the international S3 maybe or an S4 .. Just my 2 cents..
PS :Custom roms aren't magic by selecting network preferred setting , you can do it in touchwiz with *#*#4636#*#* in dialer , but you have to use a RAT unlocked modem like the Roger's ones...
Does anybody get bad call quality, Because I read on some reviews that the call quality on the skyrocket is not the best...

Or you can do the same thing in Settings>Mobile Netwroks>Network Type Selection, with a RAT unlocked modem yes.

No you can't on stock UCMC1 rom (the one I use),even with rat unlocked radio...That's why this dialer code got the attention because it's the only way to do it(in UCMC1)

It doesn't...I even double checked that...UCMC1 stock doesn't provide "Network mode selection" even with Rogers radio...It has to be done with the dialer code...
Did sprint install the Carrier Optimization on these Note 5s? Also was carrier aggregation turned ON for these phones. My says not setup or something like that.
I got my MSL and found that MSL is turned on even thought it says CA-Not Config in *#0011#. I dont think these suckers have the sprint connection optimizer.

If you are referring to the connections optimizer app, it's there under wifi settings.

No. If you go to more then go to wifi optimization.
Looks like there is something called a smart switch. that is about. Connections manager had this whole disclaimer. I dont see that anymore.
wording is a little switched around but does look like connection optimizer.
Smart switch I believe is something used when switching devices

Bump. Would like to know this as well. I live in a 2x carrier aggregation city. I've yet to see a SCC value in the ##debug# > LTE Engineering menu.

Yes the Not 5 is capable of Sprint Carrier Aggregation. Thanks.
I do not see any option for 'Smart Switch' or anything like that under Wifi settings...I am on the Sprint Note5.. kinda trippy
##data# shows that CA is enabled, so I suppose this phone does support carrier aggregation.

It was under settings>wifi>more but in my Rom it's no longer listed there.
It does support CA, the speeds in my area under B41 are night and day compared to my Note 4 that I gave my daughter.

It would be great if you had a screenshot to show. In "more" for me (stock rom) I see: Smart Network Switch, Advanced, and Help. My attached screenshot shows what's under advanced.
Thanks for the help.

Key word from what I said: was.
The option was there in more but I no longer see it.

Hey guys. This popped up out of nowhere
My data disconnects, quickly reconnects, then disconnects again and again unless I turn on my wifi, then data seems to stick until I turn off wifi again.
https://youtu.be/GUzThuJy14E
I had adguard for a few weeks activated, but nothing changed recently.
It does it regardless of:
Smart network switch being on or off
Aggressive WiFi/cell hand over is on or off
Keep mobile data turned on is on or off
I cleared cache both through recovery and phone maintenance, and I also reset network settings to no avail.
I've never dropped the phone and this started randomly while plugged in. It was at 19% and I plugged it in and noticed it out of the blue.
I'm on a US unlocked (non-carrier) S8+, and SIM works fine with no issues in my Moto X Pure, so it's not the SIM.
Please help guys!
Okay, I popped the SIM into my Galaxy S4 for ****s and giggles, and it's also doing it there, but not on my Moto X. So I'm gonna have to have a chat with T-Mobile tomorrow. Don't get it, the SIM is fairly new, is it a Samsung thing?

My S4 and Moto X are rooted, but not my S8 is not, yet it affects the S4 exactly the same when swapping the SIM in and out?

I was saying it affects my rooted S4, but not my rooted Moto X when I swapped my SIM into each phone.
But member Britchel says it was affecting them as well, and it was just T-Mobile, nothing to do with the phones themselves, so it's all solved now.

I am currently a T-Mobile customer, and my phone drops to 3g speeds during phone calls. Thing is, my Nexus 6 (and even the crappy TMo Revvl) don't lose any speeds, and still operate with full LATE service, while my fancy U11 slows down.
Does any other TMo customers experience the same thing?
I do not experience what you describe.
Does your phone maintain LTE icon the whole time?

Depends on the ROM. For some, it goes from LTE to H, LTE+ to LTE, or LTE to 4G. Either way, the icon always changes to reflect a slower data connection, and my speed tests have confirmed that this is not a cosmetic change.

Right, sounds like VoLTE is not working properly on your device. It should maintain LTE the whole time.
I don't recall doing anything specific other than making sure it was turned on in settings.

These settings didn't work for me. Still behaves the same way. In fact, the screenshot is exactly the same as my default APN. I guess I should have mentioned that I have the Sprint HTC U11 that I unlocked, and now using T-Mobile. I did not S-Off and flash over to unlocked as yet.

That seems like an important detail since Sprint uses special firmware... I think that's your problem. Install the US unlocked ROM.

Check the news about AT&T. Earlier this evening there was a nationwide outage with voice service. Apparently, all AT&T said via Twitter was to "restart your phone. It may take several restarts.". Typical AT&T customer service I guess.
My Wi-Fi calling seems to not be working properly. It is not as aggressive in low service situations like in the past.
