Although I have seen some devices that instead of the "4G" logo, there was a really nice "Galaxy Note 3" logo. Does anybody know why there are 2 type of back covers, and where to get the other one?

I could only assume this is carrier branded. I know my Note 3 purchased from WIND shows "Galaxy Note 3" as the logo in the bottom area of the cover. This is true for Telus branded models too as I confirmed with a friend who purchased directly from Telus. As for the reasoning behind this logo vs. "4G", I assume this logo has been chosen by some carriers who only support up to 4G data speeds (pre-LTE) but cannot confirm as WIND is a 4G data carrier (non-LTE) but has the nice back cover.
Where to get one... Well, there are many sources on eBay and other companies on the Internet which sell battery replacement covers or back covers for the Note 3. Just do a Google search and you'll find a load of these both with "4G" logos and "Galaxy Note 3" logos.
Hope this helps!
So there is a difference between Lte and 4g? First time I hear about it...
Our device supports both lte and 4g??

In Canada, you have 4G data and LTE data. In my circumstances, 4G is what WIND Mobile offers and it's significantly slower than LTE which is what the major carriers: Telus, Bell and Rogers offer. Your phone may be LTE capable such as my WIND device but LTE, unless offered by your current carrier will be crippled in the device. For an overview of the differences between 4G and LTE, check out the following link:
http://www.csmonitor.com/Innovation/Tech/2012/0430/4G-LTE-What-s-the-difference
My device supports LTE as well but this feature has been crippled since WIND only supports a MAX data speed of 4G. I have rooted my device and have now enabled LTE so I can take advantage of the data speeds Telus has to offer.
As for your question though... The back battery cover is just that... a battery cover. I do not know the reason behind the different designs but should you wish to have a different look, all you need to do is purchase a new one which you feel is more appealing to the eyes.
Hope this helps!

Well , I purchased two note 3 , one from UK ( MADE BY SAMSUNG ) and one From Middle East ( MADE IN VITENAM ) , both are N9005 Comes with Qualcomm 4g sanddragon 800 .
The one Purchased from Middle East comes with back Cover has 4G stamped , the one from UK didnt come with 4G stamped on the back cover .
I think depends on courier and country.
Mine label as 4G in Malaysia.
In my opinion, I prefer without any such label, no need 4G or LTE that two ugly label.

yup, its samsungs home turf so of course they will work extra hard there. I remember they had the Galaxy s II with HD screen while the rest of the world rocked 800x screens the whole lifespan of the sii.
and also, its impossible to keep up with tech these days, no matter what you buy within a month or so possibly you will be sad because something newer is coming out, especially with androids. just gotta live in the moment to enjoy! :good:

I'm really surprised at how far back the US in the phone world. It takes months for a new phone to arrive on main carriers once it hits international. The only way to get a new phone on exact release date is to use prepaid and put a SIM in an international phone.

Carriers using purposefully incompatible frequencies and tech (both voice, 2-3g data and LTE) as well as FCC are some of the reasons.

There is a quad core coming?? I haven't heard of it.
The LG phone going to Sprint and ATT is going to have the Quad-core S4. I'm sure those aren't far away for the other mfrs too. Unless you're gamer it doesn't matter anymore. These processors are fast enough for everything else. Smoothness in the UI is down to OS optimization now.

This is sounds like they're going to sell the Intl version in the US. Until we see LTE+Quad-core here, that won't be a big deal.
Ok so now that most of you probably switched to the new unlimited 4G/H+ data Service. It says you can't use it as a Hotspot aka Tethering! Anyone try it with your Rooted device yet?

To answer the origanal question... I am using AOKP and the built in tethering works great on the new unlimited plan..
As for those who still refuse to accept hspa+ as 4g do some research.. it was decided well over a year ago now that hspa+ is accepted as 4g since it is so much faster.. and fyi.. lte was granted this approval at the same time since it also doesn't technically meet the minimum 4g requirements either...
Bottom line I get well over 20 mbs do speeds..

yes we still get pretty fast speed, no complaints there. Still not as fast as lte though. I think it's because h+ is the same technology as regular 3g, but with a boost. Lte is a different technology where you can separate into 2g, 3g, or lte. However our 4g using the same thing as 3g. Yes they can call it 4g 5g 6g, or whatever they want but they're still using the 3g technology. It doesn't mask the fact that it's slower than 4g lte

I honestly don't know what's true 4g anymore lol. I always based it off technology. Lte being a different technology in data was what i measured to be "4g" and the fact that it hit 60mbps down really did it for me. Is the new 4g lte advanced a different technology from lte? Or is it another marketing gimmick lol.

Lte is using a different tech. It will be called long term evolution. Why, I don't, but it seems too expensive for Tmobile probably for maintaining it and the signature style of evolution. Foundations for technology must be solid, and have a lot of hardware add-ons in terms of future sales in my best guess.

And though I've been in this argument many times because people feel the need to try and call other out...

Well yes I currently have a T-Mobile Variant of the Moto X. It does not have WiFi calling. It has no bloat what so ever. No T-Mobile Applications. And I'll include some screenshots of about system.

The screenshot like this does not convince me to believe that it's a t-mobile variant. Please attach an image showing the phone connected to the T-Mobile network with the word "T-Mobile". Thanks!
Curious, if you are able to make calls with it, how is the call quality? "Robotic" or digital sounding? Or is it more smooth and landline-ish?
And if you can connect, how is the mobile network reception compared to other devices you've had in your area? Does it exhibit signs of those good radios that Motorola is famous for? Or has Google interfered with that?

He flashed the T-Mobile software to his phone, but has an AT&T SIM card. You can either take his and my word for it, or choose to not believe us. Up to you.
The phone overall has great cellular radios. People say I sound clear on all calls. I am connected to ATT network as Matt has said but I did flash the T-Mobile software to this device.

so the device is an at&t variant with t-mobile software? Is the at&t variant bootloader unlockable?

No Sprint software yet to try out.
I noticed that after the update to KitKat I'm picking LTE signal when that didn't happen before, I'm so happy .
As you know I'm in Mexico so I'm don't know which US carrier uses the same LTE band but I think it's at&t as we use the same bands.
tl;dr KitKat update unlocked LTE for At&t and T-Mobile
Edit:
It also unlocks stock tethering, also wasnt active before:
The previous update had band 4 support as well. Was using it on T-Mobile

Can someone with AT&T confirm whether or not they have LTE now with 4.4

FYI I think att only uses band 4 in a few places. So most AT&T users will likely still not get lte.

This. And again this has been active since the previous 4.2.2 build. Stock tethering has been unlocked for anyone with limited data plans since the beginning. If you have unlimited data it's still going to try to make you subscribe for $30. If you're on another carrier, it doesn't do this check. Hasn't for ages.

FYI - if you previously had Verizon unlimited and took a 2 year extension, you may or may not have tethering. I was offered a 6gb limit for the price of 2gb, but my plan does not have tethering enabled. However their new standard tiered plans now include tethering.

You can call them and they'll put it on for you at no charge. It's part of the block C agreement. All unlim plans will pay for it (unless you've got some promo plan still active or some shiz of course). Anyone on tiered data gets it for free.

/shrug. Just telling you that Band 4 was unlocked on the "95" radio as well for 4.2.2 . If you had a bastardized build where you had a partial flash and you were running 4.2.2 with the "90" radio then yes, you wouldn't have had band 4 active. This situation did affect a few people.
if someone could confirm for t-mobile that would be awesome....im looking for any reason to leave big red. i do love the maxx though!!

I've stated in previous threads and this one that LTE has been functional for Tmobile and HSPA+ (in refarmed areas) for about 3-4 months now. Whenever that last update happened before 4.4.

Are you able to make phone call and send text messages on LTE. Cause I'm on T-Mobile also with LTE and android 4.4. It won't let me make call and send text message. Before with 4.2 it just automatic switch from LTE to 3g to make it instead of saying " roaming indicator off" then disconnected. So I have to manually switch it before calling anybody. Pretty annoying.
If you also have 4.4 can you give me link to get the firmware. Thanks
