I am in UK and using THREE at the moment.
However, i found out the signal in Verizon ROM is very weak (about 2 bars less
so, i have to flash the Chinese XT883 CDMA ROM, i am able to can the signal and
It works perfect
But the new problem came, i cant save my APN.
Even i used MarketEnabler, i can save APN but there is still no 3G network.
So, can anyone help me to work it out please?
Thank you very much !!!
hi, where do you find the xt883 rom ? in english ? do you try to force the phone, in menu mobile network setting to stay in gsm/umts and the same thing in menu *#*#4636#*#* phone information ?
I'm from france and i've the same problem about the 3g signal is very less (1 or 2 bar, before with my milestone 1 i've about 4/5 bar).
Once you flash the rom, its chinese.
But you can change to English.
Here is the link for the rom " 115.com/file/clf4iza2# "
After you flsh it, you need to type *#*#2468#*#*
Then reboot you unlock the gsm\utms.
And i tried to force the network, still no 3G network
facrory reset and see
or
1. download "apn manager" from android market
2. open "apn manager" go to "insert apn"option
3. fill in your network apn information
4. klick the save button below
5. thank god when it works
or
the link for the chinese rom is dead, can you upload it ?
I tried the way you posted...
But sam problem..
the xt862 indication for the 3g signal is just wrong, 2bars means nearly full reception(download any signal strength app, it'll show you ).
You should have had a look at settings->about phone->status, there you can the see your signal strength in db, the values should be the same before/after your flash.
Do you know if the phone behaves better on 3g with chinese rom in case of switching to 2g if the 3g reception is low and power consumption in 3g?

But when i was using Verion ROM, once I lost my signal, it would not find it back.
Have to reboot the phone to search the signal.
And i can send sms sometime even with signal..
Now..everthing works fine in chinese ROM...except the 3G connection problem
Need help
I'm no idea about the issue. My 3g is unanstable, but come every time when lost the signal, switch 2g 3g.....and I download a strengh app that say the same thing about the level signal is very poor.
If you re upload the xt862 chinese rom, I can install it and see if there any issue.....
Try to put in "airplane on" and after 5 seconds "airplane off"

Works for me, and look a lot of better (at least this is the initial sensation), the hot spot works too, but that rom has no google apps, so I have to manage to get them working.
The first attempt was unsuccessful (market FC) but maybe i did something wrong.
Update.
I managed to get the market working (the standard gapps werent working, i took the files from the bell XT860)
The rom is really nice:
Better dialer
Stk
Better sensitivity (i don't know if only visual or effective)
3g and H icons working correctly.
USB tethering works (it doesn't for me with verizon fw)
Most of the bloatware is uninstallable
Profile manager, call filter and other application preinstalled.
BTW looks like CDMA can't be disabled from the wireless menu
The link for download the rom doesn't work :-(

You might be experiences better signal because when you don't have 3G, it reverts back to 2G.
If I disable 3G on my samsung jet i get more bars but no internet

It's a bit hard to get 4+ Mbps in download in 2g...
Jokes aside, I use mobile phones as my only internet connection since 1998, in that timeframe i got some expertise about the matter.
Happy to see you can get such nice result..
i tried my friend's sim card last night which it is orange..
suprise me..the 3G network can be connnected automatically...
i think might be the problem of THREE?...
whatever, I found out in my phone system information,
It cant read my phone number...
is there any way to fix it?...

My three italy sim works w/o any problem, but I remember that the N900 had problems with the three sims from UK and sweden, because the odd behavior of the stk, maybe you are facing a similar problem.

Hi All,
Here's my roaming dilemma. There's an R beside the signal frequency and it won't go away.
Relevant information;
I have recently switched from CM7 to CM9 for the captivate. i'm using the latest version (14). from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363760
I'm on a Canadian network with a company called Fido, which is owned by Rogers. My APN is set to "Fido Default" and my network is Rogers. this would NOT be roaming since it's the same company.
i ran the phone info using *#*#4636#*#* and it says "Roaming: Roaming" essentially the roaming is ON.
After this i downgraded back to CM7 and tried running the same options. the result was identical. APN is "Fido Default", network is Rogers BUT in phone info it says "Roaming: not Roaming". Essential the roaming is OFF, which is correct, there was never an "R" beside the signal strength in CM7.
Can anybody please help me, i'm not sure if there's a setting that i'm missing or dont know about. or this could possibly be just a bug with CM9.
Since i'm new to this forum i don't have my min 10 posts to post in the development side so i've had to post here.
If there's any more details that you need me to check to give you the relevant info plz let me know and i will get hat asap.
thx
EK
I wonder if it is just a quirk in how it recognizes the network. I have an AT&T Microcell and, while it shows my carrier as "Microcell" on Samsung-based ROMs, it just shows "AT&T" on CM7 and CM9. Not the same issue, of course, but there is apparently some control in the ROM or kernel on how networks are displayed. If you don't get any hits here, report it in the CM9 forum once you have enough posts and see if anyone has any ideas.
well my phone is originally AT&T, and when it turn on the AT&T logo and everything is still there. so it could be still a weird way it recognizes it.
fixed. figured out all i needed was a new modem.

T-Mobile rolled out the 4G LTE in my city and my rooted and unlocked phone automatically connected to it. I can make calls to it, however, there is no internet. Anyone experiencing the same thing? Tried switching all the different mobile networks in the settings.

Just wondering how do you know it was connected to LTE. Did the icon change?
Did you get your data back when it was switched back to HSDPA+?

Same here, I've been googling since this motning. New icon (4G LTE) showed in the corner and internet is gone. Tried fiddling with "LTE Setting"/"LTE Unlimited"/"LTE Discovery" apps from Appstore - no change. Weird... I think lots of people should be having that problem by now...
youll probably have to enter new APN settings. ask someone from the Tmo SGS3 or Note 2 forum for their LTE connected APN settings
Or look in the market for apn tweaker to get the settings.

OK. Confirmed. For the 4G LTE to work you need to have in the APN settings:
fast.t-mobile.com (WITH the dash)
FULL internet is working now, did not notice much of a change of speed in comparison to 4G I had before.
Running on rooted 4.1.1 MB886 (AT&T Atrix HD, unlocked)
Mobile network type LTE:13
Sorry, I had been out all day. I tried all the APN settings they gave me and what the associate over the phone told me about, none worked. One of them said to go to a t-mobile store and ask for a "LTE" sim card. I did and now it's all working.

Hi,
I can confirm pjaca's method works.
Just change APN to "fast.t-mobile.com" nothing else.
I live in San Jose and it is one of the cities to get LTE but not where I live.
I was on a hunt for LTE this afternoon and not all area in San Jose have LTE.
If your phone is getting LTE signal you should see "4G LTE" logo next to your signal bars.

That's great news
Couple questions -
I just got my Atrix HD and I'm in an area that doesn't have LTE currently. I get awesome HSPA service though. Any advantage/disadvantage of changing my APN?
Also, the APN setting is grayed out, do I need to make a new entry or something?
Thanks!
I have tmobile on my unlocked ahd..I tried three apn settings epc.tombile.com, fast.t-mobile.com and good old apn internet2.voicestream.com....they all show different reading in speedtest.net download speed range 1mb-8mb and upload speed range 768kb-2.1mb....as soon as I switch I get the highest range then it dies off....all apn behave all the same way..then again, I am in NYC and doing it from home avg 3bars but I don't think that mattters...and neither does any of the apn for me they all the same...however out of curiosity I will try again outside when I get full bar
But those of you having trouble in tmobile can try any of the above three apn setting and see which one(if not all) is working for you...technically they all should work
I added the new APN settings and the LTE icon appears in the status bar but I can't connect to the internet
This last week at work I started noticing that my data and voice would drop off and I would get the icon showing half signal but would have an ! In the icon. When I look at the Sim status it shows I'm connected but I'm not. After rebooting the phone I will have 4G service for about 20 minutes then it drops off again.
I have Tmo and contacted support and they told me to reset the APN but that didn't help.
The only thing that looks new on my phone is a recent app called Google Connectivity Service.
Other people at work on Tmo are not experiencing this issue but they are on Kit Kat still. I don't have this issue at home, I get full LTE there.
EDIT:
This is still broken as of 05/20/2015 -- Possible workarounds can be found here (thanks TaintedByte).
I have this same issue but it's only at home. I think it's just due to poor service when I'm in my house or I have to many towers to connect to..... It switches from no data to E,3g,H,H+ constantly while I'm just sitting on the couch. But I also get ! Frequently
I would think it was poor reception but this a recent thing for me. Before this week I haven't had this issue and others in my office have full 4G signals.
OMG. I have the EXACT same problem. I just switched to TMobile and got the nexus 6 on the 13th. Everything was "fine" at my work. I'd be stuck on 3G most of the time, but it never failed me. Then starting this week, it's been dropping signal like crazy, getting the !. It's defintely due to a weak signal, but I don't know why it was fine for 3 weeks, and then all of a sudden started having problems.
+1 - on Spring Rom
EDIT - Went back to a backup of Bliss, problem has not appeared.
I was trying to fix it by forcing it to 3G, but my phone likes to try to switch to HSPA when I set it to 3G and that one is pretty weak too. If there was a way to force it to 3g without hspa, I think i'd be fine. I just tried forcing it to 2G and I get a pretty strong EDGE signal. It'll be slow as balls, but I'll see if that fixes it. Unfortunately the area I live in isn't going to get band 12 for quite a while, if ever. It's one of those major cities that have an exception on it for a TV station that still exists.

3G is HSPA/+. On Tmo anyway. When in 3G mode it will display 3G (also known as UMTS) when data is idle and will display HSPA or HSPA+ when data is active.

Well that's weird, because sometimes I'll see 3G shown while data is active and I see differnet levels for 3G vs H on the icon. But it looks like I have a pretty strong H right now. Maybe I'll have good luck this afternoon.

I just did. And eventually it died. It seems like if I leave it on the preference of LTE, then I get the exclamation point. If I force it to be 3g only, then I get the situation where the icon claims it's 3G, and the signal looks good, but I have no service.

Seems like the affected users are on T-Mo. Have you gents considered tower maintenance/upgrades?
I'm on T-Mo as well. I've had a few similar instances over the last few months, but the problem resolves in the areas it's happened, and now the reception is better.

For a whole week? It's defintely a signal strength issue, I just can't figure out why. The way the building I work in is laid out, there is a hallway along the edge, and I get great LTE there. then I walk into the room a few feet away from the window, and it's fine. Then I go behind my cube wall, and it starts to get weaker. Than as I move a few feet away from the wall, it drops to 3G.
Also, it looks like disabling Google Connectivity Services didn't do it for me. I had rebooted with it disabled and evenutally it still died.

Very odd. I've been having some weak LTE signal issues at home, but only at home. Wife's S6 stays connected to LTE -110dbm here while my N6 hunts and switches back and forth between 3G and LTE. Started happening about 2-3 weeks ago. I've been hoping it's T-Mobile, not my phone

It just started this week for me. I've had 5.1 for over a month and haven't had this issue before Monday.
I've tried disabling the Google Connectivity Services (v B.1.3.3) app and that did nothing for me as well. I also switch my APN to IPv4/IPv6, it was on IPv6 only but it didn't make a difference. I also did a test by taking the phone to a location that I know has strong LTE while it have the ! icon and it would not reconnect to any network. I tried toggling airplane mode but it didn't refresh the cell/data radio either. After rebooting I had full LTE service.
I talked to Tmo reps and they didn't see any maintenance on the towers in my area but they opened a ticket for me.
It seems like something is bugging out while it jumps between LTE/4G/3G and then the radio crashes. At home it's solid LTE and I don't have any issues.
Hello, I recently fastboot flashed the entire LYZ28E package onto my N6. Did a full flash, implying I fully wiped the device, not just a dirty flash to keep my data.
I have found that the "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" is entirely not working (MAYBE its due to Franco Kernel, but flashing that back to stock didn't resolve the issue.)
The phone will have a competent LTE signal, full bars maybe minus 1, in an area where I was previously able to hold the same LTE signal while on a phone call, and when I place a phone call, it immediately drops back to 3G/H, the only way I can see LTE is to end the phone call and wait for it to switch back (which can be immediate, or can take forever)
Just wanted to post about this so anyone else with the issue knows they are not alone, I couldn't find anyone else posting about it myself.
Did u try to put the phone in LTE only mode and make a call

i cant remember which package i flashed but one of the roms and radios about a month ago caused me to lose simult voice/data.... so no VoLTE..I have tried to flash several radios and roms since with still no luck recovering functionality.. i am on latest radio and latest carbon rom .. also no sign of wifi calling
what does dropping to H or 3G have anything to do with vouce/data? so data still flows on H and 3G. its volte thats not working, volte is voice over lte. thats different.

you are on the latest radio is your problem. itll only work properly on stock 5.1.1 for tmobile, as it needs the tmobile blobs for volte and wifi calling.

I was on CM12.1 and decided to go back to stock. VoLTE wouldn't work for me either. I finally reflashed the radio, then it worked.
I'm on the new T-Mobile 5.1.1 version (LYZ28E) with wi-fi calling, and everything is working good.

this is in context of LTE .... meaning when you make a call and it drops from LTE to 3G you are not getting VoLTE nor are you getting simultaneous voice and data over LTE and it does make a difference especially when the interrupted data session causes the app or software you were using to stop functioning.
Carbon rom claims to have included the 5.1.1 blobs in the rom so not sure why it wouldnt work...
