[Q] GSM1900 vs. GSM850 on ATT - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, I am running axura rc1 currently. I've noticed that at different times my phone will switch between these two bands. When it's on the GSM850 it says that my phone is roaming. Would this be accurate? Is this something that would incur roaming charges or is it something I'm completely over-thinking?

AT&T does not charge roaming charges in most cases, but they will if roaming becomes excessive - the idea is that they don't want people buying phones that don't live in AT&T coverage areas - there are a few out there, and AT&T generally doesn't have a store or sell in those zip codes.
But I have no idea if this Axura build is doing it to much. Is it possible to disable the 850 band? If you are in a coverage area with both - there should be a way to prioritize one over the other so that you are not switching all the time.

I reasonably sure that it's possible. I think I'll also call a friend of mine and see what he can find out. He's an ATT salesman, but I'm not sure if he'll be able to provide much info. Thanks

AT&T uses both. The phone uses both by default.
You should use both. The end.

[Q] Data on Rogers network

Edit: not sure if this is a switching problem or the way the phone is designed, but sort of figured it out...seems that the Exhibit 4G will auto fallback to UMTS when no HSDPA link is active. Just ran some speed tests and it did in fact hold HSDPA speeds, when done it fell back to UMTS. My GS3 doesn't do this...if I have 4G/ LTE available, it stays with it. Hence the confusion.
I recently purchased a new unlocked Exhibit 4G, have been testing the various roms here...many thanks to the devs...great work! Currently trying AOIP...nice!
My primary usage is on the TMO network, at my RV site on weekends. Unfortunately, 2G is the best I can get in my location, regardless of carrier.
I live in Canada the rest of the time, on Rogers with a GS3.
I was testing out the Exhibit 4G with my Rogers sim, LTE APN's were set up ok, voice & messaging are fine, but data is wonky...I will get the 'H' (aka 4G) icon for a few seconds at a time, but for some reason I keep falling back to 3G speeds. This cycle continues over and over. AFAIK, this phone should support Rogers HPSA+ frequencies (aside from their new 2600), shouldn't it?
So I'm wondering if this is due to an incompatibility with the phone on Rogers, or needing a different baseband, or could the phone's h/w be screwy? This has been happening with all roms I have tried (AOIP, Baked, Slim).
Appreciate any insight.

[GUIDE] Using I537 on T-Mobile and other AWS Networks

So I'm writing this guide for SGH-I537 (ATT Samsung Galaxy S4 Active) users who want to use their I537 on T-Mobile or other carriers that support AWS (Advanced Wireless Services; see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Wireless_Services).
Initially I got my I537 and heard conflicting reports of DIY SIM unlocking being successful, supposedly some people unable to get the AWS bands. So, I played it safe and got the device unlock code straight from ATT. Everything seemed to work at a cursory glance, got LTE and fast speeds, great! Little did I know that I actually did not have AWS unlocked.
In my room I get nearly no reception and rely on a repeater to get signal and be able to do basic things like SMS, make calls, etc. I noticed that for some reason the I537 was not picking it up.
ATT runs their LTE over some TMO HSPA frequencies (AWS) and the phone by default won't do HSPA on those frequencies. An AWS unlock will allow the phone to do either LTE or HSPA on these frequencies, thus allowing it to talk to my repeater.
I followed the guide at http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-t...aws-bands-on-att-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337sgh-i337m/ but instead used the UMMS code of *#0808#
It works on the latest stock, unrooted ROM. My device was already SIM unlocked but I don't think that will make a difference for this process. I believe that one would require SIM unlock regardless, though, to use another network.
This guide unfortunately depends on Windows specific tools, so I had to use a Windows machine to do this. It's a pretty easy guide -- basically you tell the phone to expose its modem over USB, use a Qualcomm program to talk to it, do a backup of the NVRAM, and NV Restore someone's I337 NVRAM that has the AWS enabled.
It works perfectly for me and has worked for others as well (see comments on that guide). The only difference is we have to dial *#0808#
You may want to add the T-Mobile LTE APN as well:
Code:
Name : T-Mobile LTE
APN: fast.tmobile.com
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: default,supl,admin,dun,mms

Which step did it fail at? Can you walk me through what you did?
EDIT: Did you go to Device Manager, and see the two Samsung COM ports? Then in the QPST tool, did you add those ports manually? Otherwise QPST wil always say "No phone"

Just tried this on MF1 after doing Odin One Click back to the stock MF1. Installed drivers, QPST when I added new ports (4 and 5, all from Samsung) all of them says "No Phone".

Very strange. I wish I knew the ansewr to this I stumbled upon the AWS unlock guide for I337 long time before I bought the I537. I guess I was lucky that it went without a hiccup then.
And you have the special Samsung drivers installed from that site and are sure some other drivers aren't trying to pick it p? =|
I would like to add that you should change the apn name to fast.tmobile.com (from epc.tmobile.com) that's how enabled 4g LTE in my city.
I would like to ask a 'stupid' question is there a way to enable 3g? It seems to be either edge or 4g/4gLTE for me, I've never seen my phone have a 3g icon.
For T-Mobile it's not going to show 3G afaik, it will default to showing 4G for any 3G or HSPA 4G mode. If you have LTE enabled (any of the LTE modes) then it'll show the 4G with "LTE" under the bottom right side. I leave my GS4A on T-Mobile with WCDMA Preferred which seems to offer the best speeds and connections. While T-Mobile is still working on their system here in Vegas and making improvements, the LTE aspect is of no use to me and just allows me to burn up my 5GB that much faster.
To change the modes you'll have to go into the *#*#4636#*#* menu and do it, again afaik. It's the least hassle free method I've found for myself so that's what I stick with.
And I've never changed the APN from epc to fast - it's worked since I did those same instructions to enable the AWS capability. I did change it one time but the speed tests ended up being effectively the same no matter which APN I used so I set it back to the default of epc.tmobile.com and have yet to have any issues.

Yeah, good call, I'll add the APN settings to this thread.
We have LTE in San Jose and San Francisco and it's REALLY fast and way better than the HSPA+ network. And it seems to switch to HSPA+ just fine if there's no LTE.
Added TMO LTE APN settings.
while the process went without a hitch for me, I did not see any improvements
I was getting 4G both before and after, no LTE
in fact, the speed went down fron 2.5MBPS to less 1MBPS !!
So i flashed the AT&T backup back!
might be cause I am in Seattle area
(it shows HSPAP:15 in the status in either case)

HSPA isn't LTE, you have to enable that aspect manually. By default when you put a T-Mobile SIM in the GS4A it'll set itself up for GSM/CMDA usage, and you have to alter that to get the LTE working, at least I did in my case.
I went into the service menu using *#*#4636#*#* and changed it from GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) to LTE/GSM auto (PRL) and you should reconnect and get the proper 4G/LTE symbol noting the type of connection (4 with smaller G above the letters LTE).
Here in Las Vegas that's all I have to do to enable LTE (it'll show as LTE:14). I don't use it because the actual LTE signal strength is like -105 dB here at home; when I switch it over to WCDMA Preferred it increases to -78 dB and the speeds are very fast with HSPA:10 or even HSPA:15 on occasion, and LTE drains the battery more as well (in my testing).
That's my usage and experience, maybe making some alterations with your service menu can improve performance for you. T-Mobile is still doing the upgrades across their whole network so, what might have crappy signal coverage now might improve soon.
My suggestion is try each of the potential connection methods and find the one with the best signal strength and the best speeds - for me, again, that turned out to be using WCDMA Preferred, and I'm right across the street (line of sight) with a T-Mobile leased cell site, just about 1200 feet from me with nothing in the way either when I'm here at home.
Also, I've never had to edit the APN info on my GS4A for use with T-Mobile. I know the recommendation is to alter it from epc.tmobile.com to fast.tmobile.com but since mine works just by altering the radio connection and ends up getting the same speeds (I've tested both APNs), I just stick with the default of epc.tmobile.com and I haven't had any issues worth noting. I did read some comments that said in some areas to get the LTE working properly you DO need to use fast.tmobile.com, but for me I haven't - could be something to check into for yourself.

Got LTE running on the opposite corner of my building, with abysmal speeds!
the LTE coverage in Bellevue/Redmond seems to be either very spotty, or very incompatible with S4A, not sure which it is... but overall the internet speeds are better with HSPA+ than LTE in any case...
Thanks guys for you help

SIM Unlocked on T-Mobile in Orlando:
Before Samsung replaced my Active I was running MF1, this hack wouldn't work. They sent me a new replacement with MF3 Monday. This worked!! Places where I get "E" are now "4g"!!
Awesome! I was almost going to sell it for a Nexus 5 due to this problem but not anymore!
So I've gone through all the steps and now I am at the part where I add the APN but I can't seem to find the MMS Protocol section. I've also heard we should use fast.t-mobile.com instead of the fast.tmobile.com, would that matter??

At&t + N9005 = Any data at all?

Purchased a N9005 Czech version and currently using it was Straight talk. Made the stupid mistake thinking 4G/LTE were two different services but pretty are the same. Now I have texting working just fine, factory unlocked. None of that region lock, bs. When I go out on the town. I'll try to access such apps like Firefox and connection error. I'm pretty sure I have my APN settings correct but it won't matter if the phone isn't gonna accept any data at all from At&t. I know it won't accept LTE just yet (fingerscrossed) but will it accept any data at all or do I just have a texting phone and can't enjoy anything else.

With AT&T all data is handled on the highband like LTE/4G which are the same and the slower 3G. Unless you can access those bands which are in the 850Mhz range you will get no data. What frequencies is your version supposed to operate on?

Not too sure how to find that out to be fully honest. How would one go about finding this. I'm pretty sure the phone can pick up 850 band but not the 700 band if that's what you're referring too. I know it can access At&t HSPA+ network but I'm only going by what I read around the forums.
You'll have to bare with me on the stupidity of my responses, haha.

LTE Issue

I found similar (sort of) issues, but not really any specific to mine so I apologize if this has been asked.
I have a t-mobile N6, the new unlimited plan, and previously had a G3. With my G3 I would always have LTE coverage from work to home (35 mile range) and honestly don't ever recall dropping out of LTE coverage on my commute, which was the reason I switched to tmo. I've had my Nexus since December 19th and countless times I find myself with an HSPA signal and not LTE, I've tried rebooting when it happens in areas I know have LTE, changed APNs, and anything else I can think of but nothing seems to solve it.
Am I the only one with this issue? would it be a SIM card issue? Eventually it finds it's way back to LTE but it's annoying and happens pretty often including on the way into work this morning when I took a call that was not in HDVoice due to me not being in LTE.
This is 100% stock 64 GB version and I have done nothing to it since the day I received it.
Check your apn again, make sure it's on fast.t-mobile.com ipv6 (if it was already on ipv6 set it to see ipv4 and see what happens) ensure that it's on 4g in cell settings and not global.
Get a sim card replacement. It doesn't hurt and is usually free of charge for existing customers. If they charge you, go somewhere else or ask someone else. Or if you can wait, call t mobile customer service and they'll ship one to you.
Update to latest android version with the newest radio.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
Get used to it. I think it's because of nexus phones having generic radio firmware. The radio for the tmo variant vs att or any carrier is exactly the same. The g3 radio for the tmo variant is different than the sprint our att ect.... Our radios aren't optimized for individual networks. I don't have anything to support this theory. Just my 2 ¢.

VoLTE on At&t

So I spent an extensive amount of time about this whole VoLTE situation with this phone with both At&t and ASUS. My question is how do you know if you are actually utilizing the VoLTE connection?
I am able to make clear voice calls while browsing the internet or downloading an application. My speeds vary anywhere between 60 and 100 Mbps with no connectivity issues. The phone has no indicator of LTE connection but is constantly 4g++. Asus and at&t both stated that is the LTE connection. So I went into the phone settings via the image in this and it shows the VoLTE setting not toggled.
So the next question is, what indicator is there that this connection is NOT VoLTE other than this toggle? The speeds appear faster than Hspa+ but nobody I spoke to had the technological knowledge to be able to explain this. Also what speeds down and up is everyone else receiving?
From what I have read, this phone doesnt support VoLTE. And what worries me is that all the carriers are transitioning to VoLTE starting in 2020. Some are saying phone calls will no longer be possible on this phone. Which confuses me as it just released.
You can tell by making a voice call and seeing if the phone stays on 4G++ or drops to 2G/3G. I am 99% sure we will not get VoLTE on this phone. TMobile rep suggested tweeting TMobile on Twitter as the marketing team there might help, but I just don't care anymore. I'll stick with my pixel 2 xl for now.
Is ANOTHER thread on this necessary? Wtf? No volte. Not now, not ever. Get your money back. Asus are idiots for releasing this phone in us with no volte. 2020, no phone calls. Enjoy!

I know VoLTE is 100% possible on this phone, however not in the USA. It has something to do with the USA companies and At&t told me VoLTE is definitely a possibility as well as WiFi calling in the future but that has to be certified by the US companies. This phone supposedly works with WiFi calling as well as VoLTE in the European market as they don't have the same issues with the companies controlling the way it operates. I am moving to Norway on the 23rd but honestly the connection has been fantastic and I do like the phone quite a bit. During my phone calls I remained at 4g+ or ++ while surfing the web or watching Netflix with no issues during the call or the film itself.
I have messed around with it to see if there was anything that seemed off about it but so far it has worked just as well as My note 10+. Also the phone is operating on 4g so saying that it can't be used is silly. The 4g band will be around for quite some time while some companies like Verizon are removing 3g as it operates on the cdma versus gsm. At&t will continue 3g operations until 2022 and 4g will take years to completely phase out from 5g and by then another phone will replace the ROG 2.
I will however annotate how this phone operates on the European networks once I arrive. As per my previous post I can obtain 40mbps up to 100mbps which is definitely 4g speeds. 3g can not obtain those types of speeds. The bands available are key to the operating network for sure though. I think at&t seems to offer the best fit here in the USA.

I am currently using this phone with AT&T. So should I be good for calls through 2020 and 2021? Reason I ask is because I literally just got it a week ago, and then read this news about the whole VoLTE thing and was just devastated thinking I have to now find a way to sell it and find a new phone.
Also, since I got the phone, I am only ever on H+ for the signal. I thought it was LTE capable? I came over from Verizon, so the H+ was something new to me. I know I am in a LTE area. Do I need to do something to activate it?

Was this a ported number? When I went from Verizon to at&t there was an issue when I ported the same number back to at&t. They were able to get it resolved by calling Verizon having them refresh the port and then re initiating the LTE from their end. And that was with my Samsung. I did speak to at&t again today about the LTE and they may have to make sure your Sim is "LTE" and also making sure they unlock it on their end. Supposedly the LTE and volte have to be activated from them. Also ensure you have the appropriate APN setting as sometimes with unlocked phones those setting do not carry over.
And the phone should be working fine until a minimum of 2022 even with 3g or H

I did bring the number over from Verizon. I may have to go in to AT&T to resolve that from what you're saying then.
Dealing with the APN setting, I am good with tech, but this part has me a tad confused. What should I be looking for on the phone? I see under APN, it says AT&T is selected. There are other options like tracfone, but I assume its fine then if it has AT&T selected?

I tried those APN settings and it seems to not work. The signal bar still shows a signal, but there is no longer a H or H+ sign. Hmmm

That's interesting, but I would recommend going to at&t and confirming that LTE is good to go on your phone. They can also verify nothing is stuck in the system and your appropriate APN settings
