Which ROM are you using?
Right now I am on 28s-ARoMA Installer Edition(20171027) from CrisBalGreece
That's the same one I'm using, along with the 466 developer modem firmware, and my signal is steady, Did you dirty install over a previous version or did a clean install? Maybe a clean install can help
The x829 doesn't support band 20. Swedish telecom operators are also using this band for lte. I'm not aware how intense they do though.

Are you using a MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator)? You know, one mobile company that relies on another one's network. In that case, you may also need to activate data roaming in order to get data connection. Also, you should check whether you APN settings are ok.
If you get no connection at all, rather than get 2G or 3G, but not 4G, then I don't think it's a modem or band issue, but a SIM setup issue. Check your settings with your provider.

When you say slow internet connection, do you mean via WiFi or via your data plan? And if data connection, is it because you're keeping the phone in 2G (EDGE) mode instead of 3G/H+ ?
If its WiFi, it has nothing to do with your modem.
Thank you for answering!
I have checked it up and I use 3g network and its data connection. Any other suggestion what the problem could be?

Ah okay.. If you've just installed the firmware, I'd suggest you give the modem some time to settle down. Maybe in a day or two if you dont get better reception, you could try looking for your region's modem HERE and flash that via Odin.
It has a list of various regions firmwares modems et al. Nordic countries seem to have LQ6, LPX,LPW and maybe a few more.
I'm no expert in firmwares and modems..so maybe you could check that thread if someone in the same region has a modem that works well there.
Good luck
I've recently moved to Hampshire, UK and got myself a Vodafone simcard. This problem probably existed already prior moving to UK but wasn't as noticeable as phone networks were a lot better in Finland and Czech Republic where I lived before. I often notice my signal being non existent or very low when other people with Vodafone but different phones have ok to good signal. I often also notice that according to the phone it has a HSDPA connection but no data is being transmitted, but immediately if it jumps to HSDPA+, data is being transmitted flawlessly again. I'm running the latest stable CM 10 on my phone. Additionally there seems to be similar issues with WIFI, other phones show good signal but mine doesn't.
Any ideas what could be the cause? Is the reception in S3 just worse than in my old Nokia E71 or Iphone5? What really puzzles me is the not working data connection with HSDPA, sometimes moving few meters might make it jump to HSDPA+ and data again transmits normally.
First go back to full stock rom, latest uk generic firmware and modem to test.
It's more likely to be due to your rom than hardware.
I've tried few different stock roms but the same problem seems to be present, still shows that I'm connected with HSDPA but no data is being transmitted. Any other ideas?
Check APN settings correct modem and CSC .
Would any of these affect the wifi aswell?

No the wifi is kernel .

Modem, CSC and APN were all correct. My problems are with both wifi and phone network, could the problem be physical? Doesn't kernel come with the firmware, or should I try with another kernel?
You can flash a kernel or modem separately or as part of a whole firmware.
If you've tried going back to stock then hardware is the most probable cause.

Not enough details for anyone to help yet.
Are you using it with ATT or is it unlocked and you are using another carrier and/or in another country?
Are there issues with signal strength with other phones on that network in your area?
For 3G/4G, have you checked the network settings to make sure it's not set to GSM only?
If it is set for HSPA/LTE, do you have the correct APNs?
Have you modified the software and/or changed the modem?
Has the phone ever been dropped, opened/worked on, and/or had liquid damage?
What update are you on?

Yes, I use another network and you update to the Kit Kat was also changing the modem but the same problem I do not have the network, such as Options hspa pr 3g or lte

The phone supports Jordan's network frequency of 2100, but it wouldn't surprise me if it is locked out of doing so without changing something in the Hidden Menu. I don't have a way to confirm that, but it's something they do with many of their phones. If you don't even have the option to switch to different network types, then that's why - probably only ATT's main network frequencies are enabled by default.

Thank you again, I have another phone of the same type and works great, I think that the problem is not in the Software I think it's Hardware
Hello,
I am running latest LineageOS. I can't seem to get more than about 50mbit on 4G (with ookla speedtest), with same SIM card, on an iPhone7 I get about 150mbit consistently at same location. I am not sure if this is related to 4G+/LTE-A not functioning. I see only LTE text on the top bar.
In another note, a friend of mine is running original OS and he says he gets 50mbit on wifi with max2, with his iPhone7 on same wifi accesspoint he gets 80-90mbit. (he couldnt test 4G because of bad signal quality in his location),
So, first of all, how can I tell if my phone is using 4G+/LTE-A or not? Do you get better 4G speeds?
How can I test where is the bottleneck exactly? Any hints?
Update:
I now made more tests. Cheap Chinese tablet with mtk6797 chip does about 100mbit in the same location.
At home I tried 5g WiFi and when phone said 433mbps, the download speed from samba server was about 48mbit (server is connected to wifi ap directly with gigabit Ethernet)
Thanks!
Noop, I am on T-Mobile, 100m+ on band 4 all the time
@cgigate which max2 model you have? which OS are you using? and which modern/baseband version?
My provider use band 3 but I don't think it is the issue. Because I get similar result with WiFi which is very strange. Also, do you see LTE+ or something different than LTE as connection icon?
@cgigate I think you must be sitting next to antenna all the time. I managed to get 80mbit when base station antenna was 50m away from me and I was very close. My provider use B3 and B7 which should be supported with any version of max2....

I own two MAX 2 (x820 and X829), both are same on stock 23s.
yes, my house near a good t-mobile towers for sure ...especially on band 4, sometime on band 2 or 12 , those bands are much slower...
@cgigate can you check my previous post? I had some questions for you there how do you see which brand you are on?

You cannot see the band actually. You know the band you are on by knowing what your network provider uses.

Use LTE discovery APP and turns on "Live" mode you will see the real-time which band you are on, see my screen capture you will know I am on LTE band 2

Do you need root ???
I use the same app on lineageos and it needs root.
But I am not sure still why my max2 is performing so bad.
Anyway, I downgraded my service connection speed to 21mbit now and have no more speed problems I think there is some sort of problem in max2 which is causing this.

No root needed for "LTE discovery" app to get band info

No, "LTE discovery" app dose not need "root" to get RF band info on lineageos
although, there is option to choose "root" from the app to get more info. but if you only want to know what band you are on , no "root" needed
@cgigate if I dont select the root option. It only shows me the signal strength. I don't quite understand how everything works for you and nothing works for me lol.
See the screenshots with it selected and not selected. I also attached one from phone info...you tell me if anything is different? I really dont understand how this can happen....
@cgigate can you send screenshot from your phone info? or what os are you using and what is your baseband modem firmware version?
Is there any way/rom for having dual 4G option in network settings?
Can you elaborate, do want to use both sims with 4g network, in that case is already possible and works out of the box. But you can't use both sims mobile data at the same time.

Just have 4g for both simoultaneously, not even using them together
Yes, as far i know both sims are connected on 4g network by default.
