Hello I want some one who has a LGOG and t mobile to do a small trick on there phone for me plz. 1st turn on air plane mode then go into secret menu by dialing 3845#*970# then go to lte only>modem setting>lte band selection>lte only, now exit the secret menu then turn air plane mode off and plz tell me if you can pick up lte now? I have done this trick on my phone and it seems to work, but make sure to set it back to automatic in the secret menu or else u wont be able to get calls or make calls, and when u do this it should still be on lte network, depending on it location(if it has lte that is), and if u do get a phone call does the lte come back after the phone call ends? Because for me it doesn't. Thx
Edit: look at post 4

Ya that first trick does fail sometimes but it does work after u do this. For this u need a second phone, it can be any phone that works on tmobile network. All u do is take it sim card and put it into that phone and try to open a web page or Anything that makes the phone use data. Then take out the sim card and put it into it LGOG,but make sure it LG is in lte mode only!!! Because if it's not it well start on 4g but when it's in lte mode only it well start on lte, after that u can change it back to automatic or else u won't be able to get phone calls, thx see I have lte but it doesn't last cause if u make phone call or get a.phone call it well disappear
I have 2 phones I know this works with one is a old school flip phone from Samsung and the other is a.iPhone 4s. Thx

That's interesting. I hope LTE can stick, otherwise, it's meaningless.
It doesn't if u make a phone call or get one it goes away but u can fructose get it back with the first trick I posted at the top with the air plane mode, but it won't work 100% of the time, was hoping some one can look at this in more detailed level.

LTE
Hello, i have a theory on why the phone LGOG dosent pick up LTE on t mobile. The 2nd trick i provieded in post #4 kind of works but it wont last unless u leave ur phone on LTE mode which is bad if ur expecting a phone call or trying to make one because LTE dosent have voip, so it goes back to 4g, but it wont go back to LTE on its own sadly.
In the trick i provided with the moving of ur sim into a t mobile supported phone, i belive it sets the sim card onto the t mobile network, and when u move that sim card back into an LGOG it keeps that same network that it was on, but if the LGOG trys to register its self on the network the network sets it back to 4G because i belive the 4g network on the 1900 band seems to have higher priority on the phone then the LTE AWS band (1700/2100). This seems true for all AT&T phones.
As i said this is just my thory on why it dosent work for most people. some people seem to be able to pick up LTE with no problem. I even bought an HTC one X+ to see if i can get LTE on that but nope it didnt work eather, most likely because of the same problem, it has the 1900 band which tmobile set up for 4g, for iphone users.
ALSO can some one please teach me how to flash the .33 radio from nexus 4 onto the LGOG so i can see if that gives us LTE, thx.
I guess I'll give it a whirl as soon as I update the radio
dont bother with the radio if ur on t mobile the radio dosent seem to pick up the network operators. i tryed it yesterday.

Has any of the new owners try to use an at&t phone sim card in the JS to access the internet?
I ask because when I bought the Galaxy Tab 7 I couldnt use it out of the box, I had to root it and change the Rom in order to use it.

not sure, haven't tried, but what I will say is it is set to use the tablet/laptopconnect broadband apn. so putting you phone sim in would require you to use the wap.cingular apn which you would have to add manually to the apn list as it isn't there. i don't see why it wouldn't work and at&t would notice that your sim doesn't belong in the device as it is a valid registered imei in their system and not unknown like an unlocked tablet.
Does the 4g LTE require a new Sim Card? Is it different from the 3g sim card?

I am not sure but I dont think so because it is also H+ capable but my question is about a Data only Sim and not the same as the phones use.
AT&T uses new/different SIM cards for LTE. When I bought my Jetstream, they showed me the 2 SIM cards that work with LTE devices and complained that the SIM cards aren't obviously marked as LTE cards. 1 is for postpaid and 1 is for pre-paid. They hadn't received shipments of the LTE cards yet, even though we're in an LTE market, so they have to use the one in the LTE device's box. My AT&T 3G SIM card only gets HSPA+ in the Jetstream.

Ok so it works? And is your phone sim?
It shows the HSPA+ icon rather than LTE, and the wireless settings show it's connected to the HSDPA network. However, the built-in broadband APN doesn't work with my 3G smartphone SIM, I'd have to create a MediaNet APN and try to connect.
pdagal,
Using the same SIM as in the Focus my display first says:
A&T Initalizing... (Please Wait)
After a few minutes (long, long wait) it says... gave up waiting.
Anything special you had to do to get the unit to work using other ATT SIM?
You may need to get 4G HSPA+ enabled on your account and SIM. Several months ago I was using an HTC HD7S and it wouldn't work in AT&T's HSPA+ phones for data. I had to call up and tell them I was testing an Inspire 4G and needed HSPA+ enabled on my SIM.
That won't get you working LTE (that requires a different SIM), but hopefully you'll at least get HSPA+.
MANY thanks, will do that tomorrow.
3g SIM
Your existing 3G SIM (depending on age) will just simply need to be provisioned for LTE.
As well as the APN is different. Without updating your SIM you'll only get HSUPA or 3G.
Thanks, appreciate the info.
Hm Interesting. I have a unlocked dev jetstream and I tried putting in my 3G/HSDPA Sim with a active phone and data, and it'll only hook on edge, while same sim card in my phone can grab HSDPA instantly. Not sure why...

I'm not sure if your question was answered, I just placed my sim from my SGII on my Jetstream and it works. I had to add the APN "phone", that's all i did. I'm getting decent data speeds 4.5, 4.8, 5.3, 3.9 down and 2.9, 3.3, 3.1, 2.8 up.
There were two apns there, I believe one was activate and the other broadband.

I just bought a note i717 last week, It's locked with Telus.
I flashed and Rooted with AT&T Stock Rom
Now, my phone is rooted, but LTE logo never show.
4G signal only.
Is that because of the AT&T rom??
Can I flash back to Stock Rom(telus) to get my LTE bacK?
Can someone help and answer my question
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Hey! i also have a Telus Note, i think the reason this is, is because LTE does not cover all over edmonton yet on in certain areas, at least that was what i was told by telus!
Did you change the radio, too?
Nope,I didnt change.
Im from Calgary. Before i root the phone, I got LTE most of the time. Now i only have 4g

Hi, I have a telus note as well, i am using it on Bell. Same thing as you, I am getting LTE speeds but only shows 4g. Has something to do with telus software and a non telus sim card. I installed bell software on it and now it show the LTE symbol when i am connected to LTE.
Try my rom and the Rogers modem

Not to state the obvious but you do have LTE enabled under mobile network settings?
Sent from my SGH-I717D using XDA
Are you only getting HSPA speeds, or are you still getting LTE speeds like poster #6. If it is just the icon not showing LTE I wouldn't worry about it. There are plenty of ways - apps, hidden menus - to find out if you are on LTE or not if you must know, but based on surfing performance you'll probably know anyway.
I'm in the same boat, have a Telus note unlocked and using it on Rogers.
Only shows the 4g.
That being said I just did a sped test and got 37mbps down
At first I was concerned, but I know lte works and am not really to worried what shows in status bar.
If you install Saurom RC4 rom with telus modem, the Lte symbol will work when connected to LTE
I'm rooted on my Bell Note with the At&t ROM and I get LTE signal just fine.

btw can anyone give me a link to Rogers radio or modem, the ones I found didn't work. the radio couldn't be flash in CWM and the modem file I found was Bell not rogers. Thanks
Also, I talked to Rogers and they said that there's a 401 sim which is not LTE compatible that's why Im not getting LTE even though I paid for it. I'm guessing it's "the unofficial rom 1.5 emily" which is AT&T and only shows 4g instead of LTE. he said to get 403 sim lte capable which i'll get tmr to see...
does anyone know if I can revert back to i717R for custom ROM that shows i717 model so I can get Rogers live? it says incompatible device, im guess it's because it think im on AT&T (i717) instead of i717R (Rogers) device. I appreciate all the help.
I have a telus note rooted with saurom flashed on it. I dont get the LTE symbol in the status bar and my speeds are 3 MBs or less so Im definitely not getting LTE speeds.
Im also in a location where I know I got LTE speeds before I rooted and flashed
Any suggestions on what to do?

I'm in Calgary also, with bell, which is the same network, and about a week before the galaxy S3 launch, I started getting LTE pretty well everywhere in the city. Before it was just downtown.
They rolled out a **** load of LTE, I am assuming for the S3 launch.
Every custom ROM I've tried so far I've been getting LTE no problem.
EDIT: just noticed this is an old thread. Whoops
one of the things holding me back from loading a custom Tom is modem compatability ... Good to hear that people are doing well on the Bell network up here...
I will still probably wait out an official upgrade from Bell before going with something debloated after the devs get a hold of it.
It is getting harder. ..to wait...Just loaded darkyrom ICS on the galaxy s I handed down to my son when I got the note...It is sweet...I am jealous of my old phone...must resist...temptation...
Bell will release my update ....soon....sigh.

I'm currently using my Straight Talk (AT&T compatible) SIM on an AT&T HTC One... however, my SIM was the standard sized one and I had to buy a SIM cutter from amazon to cut it. Works like a charm!
I tried to write the 337_AWS.qnc file to my i527. No go! "COULD NOT RESET THE PHONE. COMMUNICATION ERRORS OCCURED". Device would not reset. If it helps, I was able to backup and save my current NV memory file. But even when trying to write that back up file to the device, I would get the error. So it seems that I can’t write any file to my i527 with this method? Which leads me to believe if I could have written the 337_AWS.qnc to my device it would have worked. No? Any help here?

I thought they were compatible by default. T-mobile and AT&T now run on the same frequencies for both HSPA+ an LTE. So as long as your phone is unlocked, you should be able to put your t-mobile SIM card into the AT&T mega and get HSPA+ and LTE. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

My phones are unIocked and they work yes, but only if I'm in a refarmed area that has been refarmed for the 1900mhz band. I need to enable the HSPA & AWS bands so I get tmobile everywhere there is coverage for tmobile otherwise I will get 4G only where it is refarmed and edge other places.
Metro (T-Mobile) is coming out with the Mega Next week. Can we back-up and save the AWS.qcn file from the Metro Mega and use it on the AT&T i827 Mega seeing how Metro is T-Mobile now?

How to set/change your preferred network on the i527
I guess I am all alone on this one huh???
I may have found the Answer to one of my issues anyway.... :victory:
I could not for the life of me find the Network type setting which is suppose to be under Mobile Networks, like every other phone...This phone is set by Default to "LTE/GSM auto (PRL)" I did not know that. So After Unlocking this device, I was getting 4G in 90% of areas then dropping to E (edge) in some areas, I was just living with it until I could get the .qcn file to Enable T-Mobile HSPA+ AWS Bands on AT&T Galaxy Mega SGH-i527. But now that I changed the preferred network type to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) I no longer go to edge.....
I'm not sure if I still need to Enable the T-Mobile HSPA+ AWS Bands by changing the qcn file when I get it or if this is good enough. Anyone?
Okay, how to set you preferred network. On your i527: Just dial *#*#4636#*#* then Select Device Information then Set your Preferred Network Type. BE CAREFUL IN HERE !!!! You can do some Damage if you cahnge a setting that you can't undue or forget how you got there.....
If this helped, please let me know (and hit the Thanks Button, it's 4am here and I gotta call it a night, er... morning)

Just for information what is wrong with having LTE "on" and what's bad about dropping to edge when the faster data connections are unavailable.
I know its slower but it gets me by if I just wait?
I knew about changing the network in the coded menus (actually I think it's choosing the bands that the phone responds to) and when I change to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) I loose data connection all together.
If we do this, we lose LTE right?

Just making sure I'm not the only one lol. The only difference is that my battery life is a lot better, but I lose the LTE speeds.
Actually... I had to set my Mega to WCDMA Preferred (My carrier does not support/provide LTE Yet). and I am still getting Edge in areas. I will Definitely need the .qcn file to Enable T-Mobile HSPA+ AWS Bands on AT&T Galaxy Mega SGH-i527. I will post it with instruction as soon as I have it.
Why don't you wait for modem ROM from MetroPCS version Mega which practically similar with T-Mobile?

As soon as the Mega is out for Metro PCS, I will post the AWS.qcn file for those interested in Enabling T-Mobile HSPA+ AWS Bands on their AT&T Galaxy Mega SGH-i527.....
When you write the .qcn file it writes the IMEI as well, how do we edit the IMEI From the .qcn file that we back up from the Metro PCS Phone? Anyone?
I have tried the qcn for tmobile device i9200 I believe and it wont work....

I absolutely will! I will have it posted Monday. The phones were suppose to be in today and they didn't show, they will be in on Monday, and I will post it Monday for sure.
In the meantime I need the IMEI removed from the qcn file that I backed-up from my i527, can someone remove the IMEI from this file? I will post it now.

By going into the APN and manually adding MetroPCS I was able to get LTE.
I used these settings.
hit the + sign in the upper right corner, enter these settings.
Name - MetroPCS LTE
APN- fast.metropcs.com
MMSC- http://metropcs.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc
This T-Mobile APN also seems to work.
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: epc.tmobile.com
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
than click the three dots in the upper right corner select save.. You should now have LTE on Metro. :good:
Another thing I suggest to do is when on your stock ROM go to your APN , copy the info from the APN setting that your stock is using. Than when you are on a custom ROM us that APN setting.
Don't lick the three dots lol

So your saying the apns that are pretty configured in the ROM are faulty

You can use T-Mobile LTE APN settings on metro phones we have 90% gsm phones that use T-Mobile LTE
Since there merged with tmobile only a few phones are using the orange CDMA cards .
I ran T-Mobile APN fine on my metro s4 m919nand metro s3
There's no difference from fast.tmobile.com or fast.metropcs.com
The issue apparently is within using the apn settings that are pre configured upon the first boot up
I'm on cm11,that worked right away .
Anyways thanks for the info .:thumbup:

How can I download the pa 4.4 for metropcs galaxy mega m8xxn . I get a fail message in twrp
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
For the life of me I can't get LTE (I tried all these cm based roms - pa, cm11, slimkat, beanstalk, etc., same thing). I can't get a data signal in LTE network Mode. I tried all methods from this (and other) threads.
I get hspa+ when I change the network mode to 3G (15mbps down, 2mbps up). But in LTE mode I can't get a data signal under any circumstance.
I tried fast.metropcs.com, fast .t-mobile.com, other available APNs, I went into network setup and searched automatically, and also tried manually selecting every available network, nothing gets me LTE. I even used secret code *#*#4636#*#* to get into network mode that way to try to make changes but to no avail. I tried all available options (including Unknown). I turned the radio off and back on, etc.. I can only get G, Edge, and 3G, but no LTE.
Even though 3G is not really slow, I had the GT- i9200 (international version Mega) and bought the SGH-M819N specifically to get LTE.
My lack of getting LTE data is the only thing that's keeping me from using the CM-based roms. Been trying to get LTE on them for a couple weeks now. If I settle for 3G, then I'm not getting the benefit of why I actually bought the SGH-M819N (specifically for the LTE). So, as such, I keep going back to my stock touchwiz rom backup. This is the only way, so far, that I've been able to get LTE. Am I missing something?

I'm not sure what to tell you. I haven't had issues getting lte or data on my phone. When I didn't get LTE I just manually input the APN and it worked. Maybe your area just stinks with LTE. Sorry. Maybe Metro had something changed with the phone since I bought mine.

what ROM are you using? if you are on stock ROM make sure you have Mobile data checked. you'll find that under (More Networks) than go to (Mobile networks)
At home on the stock rom, I get 30mbps down and 15bps up. then I flash one of the CM based roms and can't get a data signal at all. I immediately flash back to my stock rom and I'm back to 30mbps down and 15mbps up. So I think I'm definitely in a good LTE area. Unexplained phenomenon. Lol.
It kinda hurts because I really want to use a CM based rom especially now that we have an overclocked kernel for the KitKat custom CM roms. Oh well....

Try installing a different custom recovery....after that try installing it and let me know if there are any problems
I too am having the same issue where I cannot get data. After installing PA, the APN settings are the same for MetroPCS LTE from the stock rom. However that doesn't work. I deleted all the APN listings and started from scratch. Typed in the fast.metropcs.com APN information and it was a no go. Then I tried the T-mobile one and could only get 3G. I figured I may have typed something wrong with the Metro info, so I deleted both and now no matter which one I use, I can't get 3g data anymore. PA was running so smooth that I almost decided to leave the 3g connection. But knowing how fast LTE was, I had to revert back to Touchwiz in the end.
MetroPCS LTE Data
To access LTE Data APN protocol needs to be set to IPv6. This works for both the MetroPCS and T-Mobile APNs.
This is confirmed to work in South Florida with CM, Carbon, and Slimkat roms. LTE will connect in about 30 seconds after changing the APN protocol.

I gave this a try on yesterday. I reinstalled the latest 20140310 cm11 rom and the 2-27 standard gapps, set the APN protocol to IPv6. Did this for both the metroPCS and T-Mobile APNs but neither got me LTE. Waited for probably a few minutes to see if it would eventually connect but got nothing.
I continue to only get hspa+ data (when I change the network mode to 3g). When the network mode is set to LTE I get no data under any circumstance with any of the AOSP based roms. It's very strange. especially since others are getting LTE with no problems. A few of us are just not getting anywhere.
So I restored my the stock rom nandroid backup. Of course, LTE on the stock rom works perfectly.

I know this question was not to me but, as one having problems getting LTE data (you can refer to some of my previous posts), I tried both the TWRP with kitkat support and Philz touch recovery CWM. Seems I tried everything everybody recommended without success. I won't reiterate it but if you go up a few posts you will see the various things I tried. Nothing seems to work for me. I only get LTE with the stock ROM.
By the way, I've been trying to get LTE on an AOSP based ROM going back to the beginning of the year (refer to my post dated January 5th on this thread). I'll add that I installed both the TWRP with kitkat support and philz touch (cwm) recovery (which also has kitkat support).
