I'm in the UK and have an s-off Sprint M9 running Bad Boyz Nougat ROM. Works great but I'm not sure if my data is running at 4g as the status bar cell signal only ever shows a small "g". In the APNs the bearer is stuck at unspecified...LTE is a checkbox option but it reverts to unspecified. I'm thinking the hardware is 4g compatible so, as it is s-off I was wondering if there might be a software mod to set this up with all the GSM network settings available?

I just flashed the leedroid rom. Before this on mobile data my status bar indicator for data would switch between 4g/3g/h. now its only between 3g/h. Does anyone know the original rogers APN settings which came stock on the phone? And I know the evo 3d is not a 4g phone im just assuming that 4g designation is similar to lte or something. Which means faster browsing for all.
So I just got the Deepshining ROM installed on my TMobile Radar 4G (USA)
Have a question about the flashed radio... is it only 3G? Before I flashed the radio and ROM I used to always get 4G (and sometimes 2G). Now, I am spending a big chunk of my time at "3G".
The phone doesn't seem to be slower, so I don't know if it is just branding, or what? Any experience on this?
Also, I did change the settings to make the radio, "North America".

Haven't experienced it. I have an H on my status bar right now and also on Deep Shining.
Did you mess with any other settings after installing?
It's just branding. T-Mobile changed both the 3G and H indicators to 4G. The custom ROM you installed probably has the standard 3G/H ones instead.
I changed another setting on the phone somewhere to display 3G+ as 4G. Now, I am occasionally seeing a "4G" status.
But, it really doesn't matter. Speeds seem good, and seems to be all branding anyway.
Awesome, awesome ROM!!
just to give some extra info Radar got an 3G antenna and Radar 4G got an 4G antenna and that thingy next to your connection bar doesnt show the actual antenna but just a string from the registry or somewhere in the rom i got an radar and a radar 4g rom and it show 4G but I still got 3G connection
Hey guys,
I've noticed that I haven't seen 4G on my phone in forever. I get at best 3G and at worst 1X (surprisingly often). At present I'm in the middle of midtown Manhattan, somewhere that should definitely have solid 4G coverage but all I get is full bars of 3G. I don't think I've seen my phone connect to 4G in weeks. I'm thinking the problem is on my end.
My phone is:
- unlocked bootloader
- cwm recovery
- rooted (latest viperDNA ROM)
- s-off
First thing I'm going to do is flash the latest radios (which I can do in recovery because of s-off right?)
I'm just wondering if anyone else had noticed similar 4G issues, or if it could be because I've blocked the OTA update? Surely VZW does have the largest city in America blanketed and it's my phone that's not connecting.

You may want to go to the "Phone Info" screen and make sure you have the right network selected, maybe set to LTE only and see if you get anythink like 1 bar and the 4G icon. LTE, CDMA should actually get you some signal, and LTE+CDMA auto + EvDo is the full Vzw automatic network

Im pretty sure that you need to flash the radio.img in the fastboot usb/bootloader mode

Can you explain this a little better? Looking around I've only found the ability to set the network preference to "Global" "LTE/CDMA" or "GSM / UMTS". The Quick Settings toggles in ViperDNA let me toggle between CDMA only, or CDMA/LTE. I can't seem to find a way to turn off only CDMA.

Right, in the bootloader, that's what I meant.
Edit: I was trying to figure out the "LTE only" mode, and in doing so, toggled the other modes noted above, and airplane mode a few times. Now I see glorious 4G again! Finally. Still going to upgrade the radios, but it's nice to see that familiar icon again in my task bar.
Edit2: So since yesterday I've pretty much only had LTE (and the speed tests confirm it). Literally everywhere I get 3-5 bars of LTE signal. I don't know what changed, but I'm certainly much happier!
Hey folks, any ideas why my APN will auto-switch to non LTE - Verizon Internet every fourth or fifth time I unlock the screen? It's been doing this for about two weeks since I flashed CM10.1 and Devil Kernel. I've since tried going back to TW as well as wiping everything on the phone including system prior to flashing different ROMs. Right now I'm running CM10.1 08-13 nightly with Plasma 1.67 kernel and it's doing the same thing.
At first I thought it could be signal strength causing it to not connect to LTE, but it's completely switching APN to non-LTE. At wit's end right now because no combination of stock TW or CM10.1 will let it stick.
Guess I should ask my question:
Is there a way to make the APN stick to LTE - Verizon Internet instead of letting it arbitrarily switch to EHRPD - Verizon Internet, which drops my LTE connection? Anyone have any ideas as to why it's switching on its own in the first place? When I'm on the EHRPD - Verizon Internet the phone doesn't seem to ever switch back to LTE, even though what I read on the 'net says it should be switching back and forth depending on signal. I have to go into the *#*#4636#*#* menu and switch it back to LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) as it has switched to CDMA auto (PRL) when on EHRPD - Verizon Internet.

I am having the same issue, but if I force it into LTE through the test menu I can get data at 4g speed. But it shows no signal.
I thnk it is suppose to be on the VZWINTERNET. I just had this issue with carbon, and I figured out the network options I were using was wrong. I kept choosing LTE/CDMA, but it should've been LTE/CDMA/EvoD and once I did that i got snapepd back into 4g.

On the advanced data menu that is what mine is showing, when ever I select the LTE apn it bounces back to a 3g one.
Got a new sim card and the issue is fixed.

When you flashed the ROM originally and started having this problem were you asked to activate your phone. I am having the same issue after flashing a 4.3 ecliptic one ROM on my HTC One. I was running the same ROM but 4.2.2 before flashing. The first thing I was required to do was *228 for activation. I used option 2 to update the roaming capabilities and after that I could no longer stay on LTE. I was pushed over to ehrpd. Even when I tried LTE only using the method listed above I could not get a connection to the internet (even though it showed APN= LTE).
I will probably just go to VZW and get another SIM card for LTE.
Any thoughts would appreciated.

You will need a new sim. You don't have to activate and especially not update via *228 with a 4G sim card.

Thanks. It appears I am not the only one having this issue.

Although, I am afraid that I might still need to go to VZW.
I've switched roms a few times on my HTC One and lately my phone has been unable to switch from HSPA+ to LTE in areas there i receive LTE. I have tried both Sense based roms and Google Edition roms to no affect, the LTE functionality still exist however since iv been able to set it to LTE only from the *#*#4636*#*# menu and get a LTE signal on the phone but when set to LTE/GSM it will only stick to a HSPA connection. Anyone have anything similar happen or knows of a way to fix this?
