Did you flashed a t mobile modem?

I flashed the [MODEM]T-Mobile ICS Modems --> T-mobile Modemsfirst did not work and i tried the enable AWS HSPA+ 3G/4G on SGH-i717 series that you can find on the all in one stock rom/kernel/modem
Methinks you don't have the right modem. Find out what frequency bands your carrier is using.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
they use 1700/2100 AWS band . the T-mobile network
Check your APN settings and make sure they are correct for Simple Mobile. if your rom is a TouchWiz rom, type #2263# (i think) and choose WCDMA, and choose 1700 band. It should force HSPA.
If it's an AOSP based rom, you'll have to dial *#*#4636#*#* and then force 1700 band.
Okay i will try that. thank you
when i was abou to try to force the 1700 band on i ealized that the 4g logo appeared. but the speed is very slow compare to what i got before flashing team perfection ICS. here are some of the speed I got
Those first 3 are edge speeds...

Hello people new here and im digging around with no exact answer so I decided to open a thread. I just rooted note today and I flashes CM9.1 by cyanogen (QuincyATT) version and I may be having data issues or not lol.
When I try and choose lTE/GSM under settings it doesn't let me; just defaults back to GSM automatically. Also I feel like data goes in and out or maybe its just me. Any suggestions? I'm in an LTE area...

Did you ask at&t to provision your sim for LTE? When I got my note I had to do that.

Yes. Will LTE work automatically? I'm assuming theres no icon for it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
It will automatically connect if available. The icon is 4g. If you see H then you're not on lte because it isn't available or possibly because of that setting.
This is mine by default. Honestly not sure if it makes a difference.

Damnit lol. I'm in an LTE area but mine just stays on h+. OK I'll try and figure out whats going on. By chance do you remember on the original rom what the LTE icon looked like?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
On the stock ROM, the icon was always 4G unless you were in an lte area....Then it was 4Glte.

I'm subscribing to this thread. I have the same thing. I'm in a lte area but changing the lte/gsm/wcdma won't stick. It always changes back. I'm still searching. That's how I found this thread. If I figure it out we'll both know.
Edit: I assume you tried this.

If op has the same thing I do. Its att lte pta. On network mode lte won't stick. I can pick it but as soon as I do it switches right back. I tried deleting the APN and making a new one but still no love.

Damn dude. Idk. That is strange. And At&t updated your sim when you bought the phone?
Gubment Cheeze
Yep new sim. Same on stock or paranoid android.
@op i've searched to no avail. Like I said I subscribed to this thread. If you find an answer your thanks meter would rise every day.
I still have the same issue as well with a new sim. Haven't resolved the issue yet just wont stick lol. I dont know what to do I love this CM9.1 so much I refuse to switch. Ive just been using h+ its about 7mb down but nothing compared to when I hit 27mb down on LTE.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Not sure if this will do anything, but have you tried clearing cache and dalvik in recovery and then seeing if setting will stick? If that doesnt work, try wiping again, but then dirty flash the ROM and gapps. Another option(and I'm not sure what this will do) is trying to clear data in settings apk and starting over with all your settings. That will wipe everything back to stock settings as if you just flashed. Good luck guys.

@op after trying numerous different suggestions from the community the only success I've had is to flash the GB modem of flapjaxx. I get stable lte but it leaves me with baseband unknown. It works though. Hope this helps and I'll keep trying.

Man I really don't want to switch to GB base lol, I'd rather be on touch wiz. After doing some research I'm starting to believe it may be the modem. My phone arrived with ice cream so I'm betting that has a lot to do with my issues. I'm going to change my modem for the first time to see if I can switch to LTE
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Possibly a dumb question. But after you deleted your APN, and entered a new one, did you press menu and save?
Proper LTE APN for your carrier, with LTE sim card and LTE plan, you should get LTE running.
for CM9/AOSP/AOKP/CM10 type roms, LTE will show up as 4G.
Another way to test is to install a UCLF6 ROM. Get that up and running. Then go to the APN settings, and the LTE APN's should be loaded.
To confirm LTE is connected, make sure you are in an LTE area, and you can check in Status, or open up the phone dialer, and do *#2263*.
Then select LTE, and All types in LTE. If you are running in LTE there, you should be able to get it up and running with any CM ROM.
I switched to the touchwiz black star rom and I'm on LTE right now. Same modem I had on cm9.1. Its puzzling why it wouldn't turn on. Oh well ill stick with touch wiz thanks anyways guys!

I traded my Atrix HD plus 50 dollars for this phone..which I think its a sweet deal plus it was unlocked phone so I can use T-Mobile for it. Now I need some help and there is way too much info about this and I don't know where to start Google is my friend,but I came here for shortcuts. I want to root, flash cwm, unlock bootloader and start flashing some rom which I will try to figure out myself. I need help with LTE
I changed my APN to fast.t-mobile.com,but I don't see any LTE signal. All I keep getting is 4G. Not sure if this phone even gets a H+ ( keep in mind i'm still on stock LG) What other settings I need to use to activate my LTE on the APN?
If I'm going to flash a ROM most likely PA or AOKP would this affect anything for carrier? I don't wanna messed up something and relock my phone.

Unfortunately if your not in the area where lte runs on the phones bands your SOL. The optimus G isnt aws so unless your in a big city there may not be any LTE. But 4g on the optimus G counts as HSPA+.

We have LTE in Phoenix AZ we had since it March 26,2013. Before the Optimus G. I was picking up LTE fine with my Motorola Atrix HD also with stock rom. I even flashed it with another rom. Still picking up LTE just fine. Of course I had to change APN to fast.t-mobile.com
Last night I rooted my Optimus G, unlocked bootloader and flash recovery. Wiped factory/reset, Wipe dalvik cache, flashed AOKP Rootbox JB 4.2, flashed Gapps w/ photosphere working, wipe dalvik cache. Success! Rom is great, no issues with it so far except LTE. I even downloaded LTE Settings from the Market no luck. All I get is H+
Do I need to flash a different radio or something? If I do can you or someone direct me to the right radio. Thanks
If I recalled tmobile uses band 4 for data speed. Optimus g does not. So no go I'm sorry. (1,3 and 5?) Does tmobile have actual lte yet? If so maybe modem may not support lte unless someone compiled one that does?

He's saying the modems that the Optimus G has do not run band 4. Therefore you won't get LTE if that is that band they run.

There is a line you can modify in build.prop that should enable the menu settings to change network mode, I can't remember it off the top of my head though. It may help!

Have you actually tested the speed? It may just not be showing the proper icon.
Either way, putting a different rom on it should do nothing to effect your carrier, aside from included APN's.
Im posting to confirm that the at&t version of the optimus G does indeed run on t-mobiles LTE.

I have unlocked AT&T Atrix HD and currently has AESOPIZZA Jellybean 4.1.2 it clearly shows LTE on the screen,but the superior more powerful Optimus G does not.
I'm getting at least 32mbps at speedtest.net for LTE on the other device.

On my Unlocked Atrix HD. I was on stock ROM 4.1.1 and I had LTE right away. When I bought this Optimus G no LTE even on stock rom after messing with the APN.
However I will try flashing the .33 radio on stock rom. Good thing i nandroid back up my stock rom.
I used TWRP to flash

Do you get the refarmed 1900 Mhz 3G/H+ in your area?I believe the HSPA+ in my city is the non refarmed version, therefore Edge is the best I get, even after enabling network settings in build.prop (thanks! @id10terrordfw), and after playing around in the service menu. I can get it to connect to HSPA+ on a competitors' network (local carrier called West Central Wireless), and it shows the 4G icon in the top corner, but their network is either a joke (which I have a feeling is the case), or throttle the heck out of competitors' phones connecting to their network. Either way, I simply suspect that this phone just simply doesn't have the band that T-Mobile needs to get fast HSPA+ (or non-LTE 4G, as I like to call it).
I can go into my local T-Mobile store and run speed tests on their Nexus 4 and GS3 at any time and get around 12Mbps. Their GS3 shows 4G (which I know is not the LTE 4G, and their Nexus 4 shows H+).
I've read from various forums members that flashing the Nexus 4 modem is a no-no, but I don't understand that if this hardware is identical to a Nexus 4, why can't we enable/flash support for the band we need. I haven't been out of town to a market that has true T-Mobile LTE to test it, but @STravers says it works, so I don't see any reason not to believe it.
I was wondering if 4g lte was functioning correctly on the international base or if the verizon base makes the "LTE" work better?...my reason for asking is LTE is a verizon thing and is suppose to be better than standard 4g... some roms seem to connect better than others but where I live it is strictly 4g and very seldom do I go to 3g...is there a difference in rom bases that would effect the LTE?...or anything else that may make a better 4g connection or difference?

JRBXX7 is correct, it really depends on what radio you are on. In AOSP there is a difference in the way service show, there are fewer bars as compared to TW, but the service is still the same.
If you have problems try updating to the newest radio and if you have already updated roll back to the radio you were on. Its really best to test each radio and figure out which is best for you, your phone, and your area. Each phone is a little different and that can change a lot of things that will be fine on other peoples.
