No 4G

Hey guys, I just got my Galaxy S3 this last week and tried flashing this ROM (I've read the OP and searched the entire thread and Q&A thread). The one problem that keeps coming up is that I cannot receive a 4G LTE signal. My stock ROM received it fine, and I'm in one of the big LTE areas for AT&T. I've tried changing the APN and even changing the network mode (stuck on WCDMA preferred), and nothing works. I get 3G/H+ just fine just no 4G. I know that this is not an isolated problem by any means, but no solutions have worked so far. Any help with this would be great, because I LOVE this ROM, and I don't want to go back to stock...let me know if you guys can help! Thanks!

Re: ~~Q&A~~ AT&T AOKP v4.2.x For some no hassle help

It does seem like an isolated issue to me. I get LTE no problem. I'm in a congested area right now and usually get faster speeds than this. But it Superbowl weekend and every is clogging data today. Try a different modem.

sent from my AT&T SGS3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Archbalrog:
The modem thread indicates that changing modems will not affect my LTE signal if I am not receiving it already. Another thing to note is that my APN is not the ATT LTE pta by default. I've tried switching to it and I don't get any service. Any other suggestions?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
There's something that's going wrong and it's only on your end of the deal here. My apn defaults to the ATT LTE one. Also. Did you even try another modem dude? If not try one.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Archbalrog:
I tried changing the modem and still no 4G. I just don't understand how I had LTE on my stock ROM and now it doesn't work. I don't get why my phone has such an isolated incident.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CrackerTeg:
Re: ~~Q&A~~ AT&T AOKP v4.2.x For some no hassle help

Try switching to a different APN briefly, then reselect the LTE one. I had that happen to me earlier. LTE works fine for me now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Archbalrog:
Here's the deal. The only data I get (3G/H+) is on the APN entitled: ATT (wap.cingular), but the APN entitled: ATT LTE (pta) does not show any data when enabled. I've looked up the APN settings, they match, and I still don't have 4G LTE.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alacrify:
Then I think you're going to have to do a really full wipe - it works fine once you get a clean setup. I'm curious if you came from any other ROMs before this one, which can lead to this kind of problem. You might try backing up the internal card, completely wiping it, and flash back to stock (make sure it works) then flash the ROM.

Re: ~~Q&A~~ AT&T AOKP v4.2.x For some no hassle help

I'd guess it would be something AOKP isn't interested in. That's a paranoid feature.

@ CrackerTeg,

Really? This is the first device I've used with a screen large enough to really desire that functionality but with 4.1 all of my favorite roms had the feature including task's aokp.

I thought it might be a 4.2 issue but slim bean has had it for a while now.

Re: ~~Q&A~~ AT&T AOKP v4.2.x For some no hassle help

I flashed the latest (2/2) earlier today and just noticed a problem. Touching the phone icon resulted in "App not installed". Reverted to previous (1/30) and all is working.

Any ideas?

I only wiped caches and I am using JusTUN inverted apps. I have been running/updating like this since first release of 4.2.1 without issue. Was something with the dialer changed in 2/2 that would required a full wipe?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
1.) You just answered your own question

2.) If you flash things that are not provided in my OP then you should expect these things to happen.

3.) Your answer could've been found by simply searching my thread as this subject was answered yesterday.

You're flashing an unsupported gapps package is why your having this issue. It has nothing to do with this rom. My ROM does not have this issue. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CrackerTeg:
Re: ~~Q&A~~ AT&T AOKP v4.2.x For some no hassle help

To add to what task said, just pick up an inverted theme from the play store or this site. Works the same and doesn't break anything. This ROM has theme chooser for crying out loud. Take advantage of it.

Task, I know there is nothing "wrong" with your ROM. I've been running your ROMs since whenever you started making then for the S3! I didn't want to offend you, that's why I posted in this thread and not your ROM thread.

I'll go search your thread now.

I'm not or wasn't offended at all. I was just giving you the facts of the matter here. There's no need to search as I've already clearly answered your question as to why this is happening to you. Please read my post again.

WiFi and 4G icons in status bar

I see the 4G icon disappears when wifi is on and reappears when it is turned off. I've seen some comments saying that the phone uses wifi when it's available, so that is why the icon disappears, as if that explains it but that makes no sense to me. I'm running Task 2/2/13b and the stock kernel with no changes. I also see the network type listed as LTE:13 whether the 4G notation is displayed. So:does the absense of the 4G display make no difference as it appears not to, and is this a bug (of little consequense) or is this by design? Or do I completely misunderstand this?

I see the wifi icon overlaps the signal icon when it's off, much like font kerning. Can the icon spacing be easily adjusted?

Just curious.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
Huh? I don't understand what you are trying to say here.

If you have wifi on, then yes the 4G icon (and any other data icon will disappear) as it would be pointless to have both icons showing considering you can only be using one at a time anyway. either you're on wifi, or you on data. There is no overlapping of icons so i'm unsure what you mean by that part of it.

P.S- If you're talking about data and signal, then those are two different things. Having a signal and using data are two different things. There is also a option in ROM Control to use an Alt Layout for the signal and data icons. You're more than well come to try those out and see if that's what you're looking for. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bob Simons:
Well, even if you're using wifi for data, wouldn't you still be on the 4G(LTE) network for voice and SMS? Is there only one voice network and multiple data networks or are there multiple systems for both voice and data, with the phone choosing to send data on wifi when possible?. I'd think the network makes a difference even on voice, but that's all assumptions on my part.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
As I said before. Signal and data are two different things. As in. Turn of your data and then make a call. Notice how you can make calls still? You're not using the data service to make calls. Its solely for data services such as internet, MMS, ect... When you have WiFi on there is no way to use data unless you turn of WiFi first. You cannot use them simultaneously with the exception of sending an MMS while using WiFi because that will go through the data service. But either way. Whether of not the WiFi icon replaces that data icon doesn't take away or affect either service. That's why I'm still unclear about what you are really needing to know here.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bob Simons:
Somewhere along the way I got the idea that the voice system was upgraded every time the networks were updated, and that voice and data (with wifi off) used the same connection. Or in other words, there were H+ and LTE voice connections using different back end connections. Are you saying that there are two networks, one for voice and one for data and the voice network? And the signal gauge with wifi on only refers to the voice network signal strength but when wifi is off you don't know which network the graph is showing?

It may be all BS, but there seems to be a general consensus that AT&T call relaibility has greatly improved since the LTE rollout with far less dropped calls. I thought that this was due to voice calls running over a new, better system which did both voice and data. I know I've jumped to a lot of conclusions here. I'm not terribly concerned with cell phone data rates but am concerned with call coverage and reliability. 20MBps is fun but not nearly as important as calls not dropping. I'd thought that LTE meant among other things that there was an additional voice network in place in addition to the 2G/3G/H+ networks I thought existed.

Does that explain my question better and does it make any sense?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
I get what you're saying now. But I also get that what you want to know doesn't have anything to do with this ROM. I would Google search what you are looking for or talk to an ATT representative so they can further explain there voice and data services to you. Because the way that ATT handles their services has nothing to do with this custom ROM. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bob Simons:
You got me to do something I probably should have done a while ago which was to find out what I was talking about. What I was struggling to refer to us a technology AT&T is not using yet but intends to soon called VoLTE (Voice over LTE) much like Data Over Voice bonded ISDN was the fast internet scheme some 10 or more years ago. (I used to do lots of data over voice on bonded ISDN back in the day). From what I can tell, VoLTE is not here yet and so they use CSFB (Circuit Switched Fall Back) to 2G and 3G (including H+) networks when making voice calls. So in fact when wifi is on, it's only on 3G at best as LTE can't yet make voice calls. LTE is only packet-switched, not circuit switched so there are E911 issues and more.

Now when VoLTE is here, hopefully the then-current version of Android will allow the LTE indicator to be on when wifi is on.

If you're curious, wikipedia is a pretty good start on LTE voice calls: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_(telecommunication)#Voice_calls

Thanks for your work on the ROM. In particular, special thanks for going out of your way on the BT issues.

Re: ~~Q&A~~ AT&T AOKP v4.2.x For some no hassle help

Quick question here. I got the iBolt car dock for my phone. When I plug it in my car goes into "car mode". There is a steering wheel icon in the notification bar and the screen orientation turns my screen side ways. This is great, but I was wondering if there was any way to change the settings? On touhwiz based ROMS there is a "dock" setting. I know this is not TW obviously but I am wondering where those settings would be? Since the phone has the feature I assume there must be settings for it somewhere.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alacrify:
It's built it to TW (like a lot of other cr*p) - look at "Car dock" in play store for more stuff - I think last trip I took I bought car dock 3 but you have to pick the one you want. As usual.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] geoldr:
Yeah I have a car dock app, but even without it, when you plug in the USB cable from the car dock the phone itself goes into "dock mode". I was just wondering if there was any system settings for this dock mode. But it sounds (and looks because I can't find anything) that there isn't.

I am not sure if maybe I am searching for the wrong words, so forgive me if this has been addressed before. I am getting some feedback during calls on my handset. Is there any quick fix for it?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CrackerTeg:
Re: ~~Q&A~~ AT&T AOKP v4.2.x For some no hassle help

Actually, it's something broken on Google's end. In the GB days, the phone would launch car home. That app has been abandoned by Google since mid 2011 I think. The phone will still go into car mode when placed in a dock but it won't behave like it used to.

As for Google's car mode app, it can be side loaded. It's here on the site if you search for it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rmead01:
Any insight into this? When I was using CM with the ALSA fix I thought that would cause this behavior but it never did. Since then I have clean flashed this ROM and updated to the latest nightly and I am experiencing my voicemails going to the speaker phone. I thought I had read that was the reason Task didn't implement the ALSA fix to avoid having these issues.

Everything else works and since I don't get voicemail very frequently I can live with it. Just noticed it happened over the weekend. Tested using the latest 2/2/13b build with both bundled kernal and ktoons.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
you need to try out the other kernels yourself. they are device dependent and no one has your phone. not all devices are created equally so you need to find which one will work for your particular device. all you need to do is read the OP in those kernel threads to know which ones are compatible.

Re: ~~Q&A~~ AT&T AOKP v4.2.x For some no hassle help

Just curious if its just me or everyone. But with the newest build of AOKP, it will sometimes at random put my phone into silent mode. Quiet hours isn't enabled and it seems random when it chooses to put it in silent.

Also I noticed that when I use the camera, if I use the front camera it changes both camera resolution defaults to 1.3MP so every time I use the rear camera I have to correct the resolution. Am I the only one experiencing this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alacrify:
Did you full wipe? Loading anything extra (i.e. inverted apps)?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CrackerTeg:
As for ALSA, hopefully you didn't flash that again. Its been fixed as of two builds ago. Google voice, like I said in the dev thread, its all 4.2 ROMs. I don't recall if you posted this very question in the dev thread and I don't care to look. If you posted in there after posting here, why? No need for double posting.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rmead01:
I didn't post this in the DEV thread because it's not development related, thought it would be more appropriate in this Q/A thread.

I was using CM10.1 and didn't have this issue at all, but I do on AOKP. Again, not a deal breaker, i barely get voicemail, was just something I noticed. Also worth noting, I was using the ALSA fix with CM10.1 so maybe that made a difference.

I did NOT flash the ALSA fix with tasks ROM, as he stated that he fixed bluetooth properly which is what I was waiting for before flashing his ROM. Since that and lock screen targets i've been a happy camper. For some reason I thought I read awhile back that Task said the ALSA flash caused the GV to go to speaker and that was one of the few reasons he chose not to incorporate it into his ROM. It was one of the issues that happened to an app he used to much.

screen flashing lines/bugging out

I'm running the newest version of this rom and it was installed successfully every has been working normal and fine but all of the sudden I'll get a flash of lines on the screen in all different colors and ill do something like go to the notification bar and it will continue with the lines flashing so I restart the phone and it won't do it for a while until it will randomly happen again.. its only happened on 3 different occasions where I just reboot and it is okay.. i wonder if i should just fully wipe and reinstall. has anyone else seen this? thanks

I would redownload the rom and gapps, fully wipe, and reflash. You are the only one to report this as far as I know. If that doesn't work I would almost say it's a defective device at that point. Sounds like this screen is screwing off. You haven't flashed any kernels or anything have you?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
There isn't any need to disable HW Overlays. If anyone has to do that on these releases it means that there is something wrong going on and should be fixed. Whether it be wiping or not flashing anything outside of what is in the OP in order to figure what's happening on their end. ;)

Hey, thanks for the inverted apps. In case it's not known yet, just wanted to point out that from the gallery, if I choose share, Messaging is no longer an option. Also, when attaching an image directly from the messaging app, the picture is rotated 90 degrees (like it used to).

google maps taking up battery

so i've posted about this before but am still having an issue. pretty much everyday even if gps is turned off and i don't use the maps application/ navigation maps takes up to 35% of my battery. That definitely seems wrong and way high. The weird thing is yesterday I was having other issues with my rom so I fully wiped/restored/reflashed everything, and yet today again I am seeing maps is already taking 20% of my battery. I've messed around with maps settings but I'm not sure what to turn off.. and i wonder if i turn off some of these settings will it stop my phone from updating my location all together?
