No LTE on Bell with i727R Skyrocket

I'm running an i727r Skyrocket on Bell. I've got an LTE SIM in it, but have never been able to get anything other than HSPA+. I'd originally tried a CM10.2 with the stock radio (UXUMA7).

Currently running a CM11 nightly from Jan 10, and I've tried with radios UXUMA7 and UCMC1. I've verified my APN settings from the sticky at the top of this thread.

Any suggestions where I should look next?

Wow, this fixed my lte bug problem that I have been having for a while now.. Thanks for this, and hopefully more people will see this thread that is hidden in the sticky.

what did you exactly do because it's not working for me?

I changed the apn exactly, and I'm still not getting LTE.

I can't go back to 3 or 3.5G, it's too slow.

I'm getting LTE, but it has very poor reception. My 3G has full reception.

this is a great post.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
I'm not real sure what's going to fix your issue... If your dropping signal completely I would point to the modem, but it's probably the same modem you were running on stock with no issues... I would wipe the phone and reflash... If your TiBu was made from a TouchWiz ROM that could also be your issue somehow...

Thanks...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] IUH1991:
Wow, I don't know how, but my phone finally has 4g. Perhaps it's because aokp selectively throttles down when WiFi is being used. If so, I'm surprised that it took hours to regain an lte connection.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Montol:
I can report that those settings for the Rogers LTE APN are correct and working.

On this same front, there seems to be a lot of misinformation (old, incomplete, or irrelevant) wandering around the internet about how to set up Rogers Tethering properly.

Anyone out there had any success with Rogers Data Tethering? I can't tell if there is something specific that needs to be done differently for the SGS3, because mine is confirmed set up on Rogers internal side, but i can't for the life of me figure out the settings to get my SGS3 connection shared with my iPad.

Thanks!

EDIT/ADDITION:

So with a great deal of fiddling around, and a little bit more information for you here:

1) The device I'm trying to tether on is the iPad 2

2) I have had limited success in wifi hotspot tethering, but only through some monkeying around that I don't have the technical background to explain why this would be the case.

I added in various APNs and tested a bunch of combinations. Nothing particularly worked when connected to the LTE network. The last time tethering did work for me was with AOKP b5, and I'm now running CM10 10/24 Nightly. The one...flaw?...with AOKP was that my LTE connection wasn't turned on, and wasn't sticking. So the last time my tethering worked was when I was connected to 3G/H/H+ with AOKP by mistake.

So, I tested that on CM10 by entering the rogers-core-appl1.apn, and bumping down my preferred connection to GSM/WCDMA.

Suddenly, success!

Now...the technical part that maybe someone with more experience can answer is - does the wifi hotspot communicate something to the iPad2 where it is trying to use or show use of an LTE connection?? Is that why tethering would work on the 3G/H/H+ connections, but would not work when my SGS3 was connected to the 4G network??

Thanks!

For me restoring using the generated QCN corresponding to carrier version phone fixed my LTE problem. Steps in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1801997. After restoring using modified file and changing to LTE/GSM/WDCMA mode in mobile settings got an LTE signal instantly. Tried every other recommendation beforehand and nothing else worked for me.

Note using an unlocked Rogers GS3 on Koodo and tried flashing a Telus modified QCN which didn't work. Rogers file brought back LTE.

Did you previously lose your IMEI? Those steps are not for general LTE troubleshooting, they're for after injecting a lost IMEI, LTE does not come back...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] r27p:
I did lose my IMEI but even before I lost it I had a bunch of flashs were I just couldn't get LTE to work. Was working originally though but could never figure out what caused me to lose LTE in the first place. Even tried going back to builds were LTE originally worked but the best I could get was HSPA+.

Hi everyone

I'm having an interesting issue

My imei is thee. Just checked to make sure. My signal is good and all that is great. My settings are all set to lte

Yet I cannot keep and lte signal... at times it will connect to lte fine and it great but then it will release it and go back to h+ I'm using a unlocked roger s3 on virgin aka bell. I don't remember what I was getting in stock as I flashed a new ROM as soon as I got the device lol cannot stand touchwiz

Anyone got any idea... all my APN are correct. Imei is there. Account has my device imei, lte plan, and provisioning.

Fido - Samsung S3 (bell) - Lte not working

Hi there,

Anyone using Samsung S3 on Fido network with LTE.

I have a Bell S3 and have tried CM10, Stock Rogers ROM's but cant get LTE to work.

Tried all the steps listed in the forum, enabling LTE from menu, adding or removing APN but it simply wont register on LTE. Have fido ship new SIM that according to them is LTE enabled.

Would anyone have any idea what would be the issue ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Shone1980:
I have rogers s3 using on fido network. Got the normal sim a month ago and cut it before idiots from fido didnt update their site with new micro sims. Anyways it works on AOKP rom showing 4g which is actually LTE. Getting 25dl and 15up speeds. On which rom you are and what apn settings u r using?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
Are you sure you're in an LTE coverage zone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yasir01:
I am in core Downtown Toronto and signal is strong. I do get 4G on the phone but only get <4Mbps transfer rate.

Also read on XDA that 4G does not mean LTE. It should show LTE instead of 4G. Do correct me if that's not the case.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
On an AOSP ROM, LTE will read 4g.... On the stock ROM, it'll read 4g LTE... What was displayed on the stock ROM? On stock ROMs, just plain 4g isn't LTE it's H+, technically 3.5g...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yasir01:
Phone is Bell phone, I initially rooted and installed CM10 and could not get LTE to work. Kept on showing H+ on it.

So replaced CM10 with Rogers Stock to see if that makes any difference. Now it shows 4G (which according to this thread is H+ not LTE).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
That's right... and you're absolutely positive you have LTE coverage by checking the coverage map?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yasir01:
Stock ROM shows 4G. Interestingly I only have APN for LTE so its configured.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
So not even the stock ROM isn't getting LTE... and from the previous posts, it never has... Might wanna call your carrier to verify you have LTE in your present location...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GladdBag:
If your signal is showing 4G, you are on LTE. When I first unboxed my Bell S3, the indicator showed "LTE." I then played around with a bunch of different roms and the only indicator I have seen since is 4G, which is LTE. I have since flashed back to stock and I am still showing 4G. In my experience, the only time you will see LTE is if you are using not just a stock rom, but the rom that the phone originally shipped with, even if you have since flashed back to stock.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
Not true... Stock ROM always reports LTE as 4g LTE... Regular 4g is NOT LTE...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yasir01:
Yes, I am positive. I called Fido and they confirmed that the SIM I am using also is lte activated as well.

Also I doubt that 4g is lte because speed test shows maximum of 4Mbps speed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Shone1980:
I dont get it why you ask for fido when you have Bell phone? Well its quite simple. If you r on stock you'll see LTE if the apn settings are correct and LTE enabled in settings(with SIM LTE enabled of course). If you are for ex. AOKP like me, you'll see 4g which is equal to LTE on stock alright?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yasir01:
Hardware (S 3) is from Bell but my cellular connection is from Fido. I understand how simple this issue seems but on Stock I cant seem to run LTE (does not show LTE) and on CM10 it simply shows H+.

I have new SIM (according to Fido enabled with LTE), Have APN's configured properly (removed and added couple of times), in a good coverage area (Toronto Downtown).

But for some weird reason, phone simply wont run LTE...

But don't get all angry if it doesn't work...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] c_86:
ok lets see if i can help somewhat... these are the requirements for getting LTE

1. LTE data plan

2. LTE SIM card

3. LTE provisioning on the account

4. LTE APNs

5. in LTE coverage

also need to make sure you have LTE set as preferred in your options...

settings> More... (under your wifi and data usage)> mobile networks> network mode set to LTE/GSM/WCDMA

if that doesnt work and you have all the above then it could be one of two issues

1. bad SIM card (this is possible)

2. bad hardware aka phone

IMEI - lost but reinjected in correctly

Would you kindly explain what does 'Lost IMEI means' I bought this phone open box and seems new with all stickers etcs and since I had it apart from installing CM10, replacing it with Rogers Stock and rooting have not done anything else.

Thanks for every help...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
The S3 has a sporadic issue where it'll lose it's IMEI after flashing something, and you have to do steps to restore it... After restoral, sometimes extra steps are required to restore LTE...

In all honesty, I don't know why you're having so much trouble getting LTE... None of your posts indicate that it has ever gotten LTE... It's got to be something you're overlooking... Telus on unlocked Bell you said? Correct me if I'm wrong... Post your APN settings...

Like alacrify said, all it takes is the correct APN, switching the phone to correct mode, and rebooting...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] firebolt0777:
go to ur phone dialer and type *#06# if it returns a long mutinumber number that matchs with the imei number on the inside of ur phone then ur good. Do not put the long number u get in here
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yasir01:
Same IMEI number as on back label but at the end it has '/2' not sure if it makes any difference. Also never had issue of looking it, actually I made a backup before flashing it so it can be restored if required (using QPST method in one of the thread).

I have Bell phone on Fide network with Stock Rogers. I am thinking of trying Bell again without root.

Here is my APN: (I do remember once deleting it but after reboot it gets configure automatically as well - i think Fido pushes it).

apn: ltemobile.apn

mmsc: http://mms.fido.ca

mms proxy: 204.151.11.13

mms port: 80

mcc: 370

apn type: internet +mms
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yasir01:
Finally figured out what was wrong (wasted almost a week on it)....

New SIM that Fido sent me was not LTE enabled (even though online order and shiping inlet listed as LTE SIM).

I called Fido again (third time) today, asked the the rep to check account again and verify the SIM number and its activation info. Interestingly other 2 rep. confirmed that they see SIM to be LTE enabled and all was good with my account. So this third rep. confirmed that SIM serial does not show to be LTE enabled in the system.

So final result atleast for Fido.... Until SIM says LTE on it, its not LTE enabled or wont work.

Just have it replaced and now getting LTE speed and on Stock it now says LTE as well.

Thank you all for help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] firebolt0777:
Good job fixing it, my problem still persists though.

I was getting lte before rooting then i lost it and when i swap back to stock i get lte, so i rerooted to try another custom rom and it didnt work and reflashed a few different roms and i still could not keep a data connection, some would let me keep edge but be unable to send messages. so i unrooted down to stock and now i cant get an lte connection, only edge.

Can't figure this out!

Hey Guys,

I'm running a TELUS SGH-I747, I am on AOKP 4.2.1 build 12.23.2012.

I have an issue where the settings through *#*#4636#*#* dont stick whether I reboot or not

I try setting it to LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) but it always defaults back to WCDMA preferred. It only sticks when I have it on LTE/GSM auto (PRL), and even then I rarely pickup the 4G (LTE) network.

I also have an issue where the Network Mode through Settings>More..>Mobile Networks> doesnt stick on reboot.

When I randomly do pickup up the 4G network, speed tests confirm it to be LTE as I reach over 20Mbps.

I live in Toronto, we are completely LTE covered.

It must be an issue with either rooting in general or the custom ROM since on stock I would always have LTE coverage.

- I've fully wiped multiple times, I've even tried different roms (Liquidsmooth RC5 & RC9) but no luck.

If anyone has a resolution please advise!!!

Thank you.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
Seeing as though you're on the latest baseband, and a ROM version that has long been fixed from reverting those settings, have you tried a full-wipe and reflash, with all the steps including format /system ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] krikor22:
I'll admit I'm pretty new to the ROM game, I appreciate your patience.

But here's what I've done multiple times in order to try and fix this issue.

1. Wipe data/factory reset

2. Wipe cache

3. Wipe dalvik cache

4. Format System in mounts & storage.

5. then Flash the rom of my choice, in this case AOKP.

6. Flash GAPPS

7. Reboot.

I've done these steps multiple times, trying different roms, LiquidSMOOTH rc5/RC9 as well as the latest CM10 (buggy as hell for me..) and now AOKP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
and which gapps do you use? whats it say up top? H+, 4G?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] krikor22:
I flashed Gapps for Jellybean 4.2 12/19/2012 straight from the AOKP developer page.

It switches from 3G to H to H+ all the time.

When I randomly pickup 4G after playing around with the settings, It will on 4G, which according to AOKP FAQ is LTE untill I reboot.
