[Q] no 4g or lte on stock or custom rom

So I've had this phone for almost a week now and I used to he able to get 4g LTE. But ever since I rooted it, I no longer get more than 3g. I now have bananacakes Holiraider 1.6 but I still don't get any higher than 3g. So my question is how do I get 4g and 4g lte. Oh and if anyone is using that custom Rom, is it possible to get faster than 1512? In his thread it shows you can clock it to 1566. Thanks a bunch I'm kinda new to this!

try dialing *#*#4636#*#* and see what your modem is set to, it should be GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto
you also may have an APN issue, verifiy that your APN is correct, perhaps contact your carrier for the correct APN settings for you phone and plan.

Well I'm now running a custom ROM. The apn is the same as other users and it does say the above. And yes I am in a 4G LTE area

Try doing the above and change to LTE only.
Then once you have 4G change it back. It should stay on 4G. I had to do this to get 4G on official rom.

Ok I just tried that but it wouldn't let me to switch it to LTE only. When I did, it switched it back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto. I'm just gonna relock my phone and set it back to the original stock rom and format my phone (yes I have the apps and stuff backed up). Because my actual mobile connection fluctuates on and off as well

the phone should be locked into the GSM/WCDMA/LTE setting. If you try to change it from that setting it just returns back. The phone will get instructions from the carrier's base station to tell it whether to be on LTE or just 4G/3G. Using *#*#4636#*#* under phone information, what is listed as the Network type?

It is locked in GSM/WCDM/LTE auto.

above that option it should tell you the network type. it is about half way between the "run ping test" button and the "Set Preferred Network type" option. Need to know what it says there.

Oh ok I see what you mean, it says HSDPA

make sure that you are in a active LTE area. toggle the radio off and on. the network type should change to LTE if it is available. remember that if you make a phone call your phone will drop back to just 4g/3g and it might take a second for it to switch back to LTE.

I live in Los Angeles so I'm like in the center of the LTE center in Southern California. But for some reason my phone won't get anything higher than 3G, and my actual cellphone reception toggles on and off randomly too.

It worked before. For the first 3 days atleast. And now all of the sudden it wouldn't work, so I rooted it and installed a custom ROM

Try one of WildChilds custom ROMS. LTE works on both and they're tailored to US users.

if the problem arised before you rooted and rom'd the phone I doubt the rom is the problem. there is always the chance that you have a bad radio.

That's what I'm thinking... What would I do about this?

i would verify your sim with another 4gLTE phone and vice versa.

Hrm... So it could be a Sim card problem eh? Unfortunately there are no other LTE devices for me to get a hold of... Would this be the only way?

it could be. i hope you have pulled battery/sim and then rebooted already. you can verify your phone with a known good sim and verify your sim with a known good phone. I would try your local at&t store. they might be able to help.

I have done it many times . Yeah I'm actually going to head over to the at&t store in a few minutes, I'll keep you posted. Thank you so much for your help! rft3ch!

I will be replacing my phone. I replaced the sim card and that wasn't the problem . The rep said that someone else came in with the same problem as well.

Problems applying gsm unlock

Hi,
i have a verizon droid 3, i live in Argentina and im trying to get the 3g running...
I applied the radio flash described here. 3g is still not working, but now Swype is also not working.
When I try to use it it says something about the license and it doesnt work.
I first tried it with the build.prop with the model=xt883, then changed it to droid3 but still no luck.
Anyone knows how to fix, at least my scrybe issues? And if anyone else can help me with the 3g would be awesome
Thanks!

What exactly is it not doing. And swype is probably another issue entirely.

Huh? You changed the model in build.prop to Droid 3? Pretty sure its supposed to be xt883 in the first place, your supposed to use the build.prop in the thread
And I thought the droid 3 was a global phone anyway, even the verizon version

Swype doesnt work at all, its activated but not working.
I changed the model in the build.prop just to see if this was the problem, but apparently something in the radio.img has broken my swype. Is that possible?
Btw, droid3 isnt global. Here in latin america is known as milestone 3, and apparently verizon's droid 3 is a pain in the ass if you want to use 3g here...

If you are using this device is South America then why are you trying to band unlock it? The band unlock was designed for use with AT&T & T-Mobile inside the US. If you are using outside of the US you do not need to perform this procedure.
You probably should flash your device back to stock, make sure you sim unlock it and setup your APN settings.
After flashing back to stock reboot in recovery(hold x then press and hold power, then volume up & down once you see the android!) and perform a factory data reset. Hopefully this will solve your swype issue as well.

what he said
the GSM BANDLOCK is only to prevent the phone to connect to USA networks but in southamerica as long as you have the 850 band it should work! (ATT, TELCEL MX, Others)
you should flash the stock mentioned by devicesnow
(link in my signature if you have/had version xt862 v 5.6.890 or before if you had version 5.7.90X then there are other SBFs that would help)
once in stock change to GSM mode and add APNs if you are on an 850 network it should give 3g and in an 800 (like t-mobile in USA) network should give you edge
also check you are SIM-unlocked (different from band unlocked) so you can detect sims different to verizon.

What a coincidence, I bought my Droid to DevicesNow in eBay haha
When I first received it, it never worked in 3G... I have the APN set up and everything, but still not working...
I'm now using a non-Verizon sim for calls and sms, so the phone is sim-unlocked right?
I'll try applying the sbf, but since it never worked frm the first minute.. I don't think it wil now.
Thanks for your help.

Hello axel.isr,
The Motorola Droid 3 works on 3G Networks HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100. Claro, Personal & Movistar all support 850/1900.
Yes the device is sim unlocked if you are using already for voice and sms. If it wasn't sim unlocked you would be promoted to enter a sim pin code upon powering up the device with your non network sim card installed.
Which device were you using prior to the D3? Do you have a data plan associated with your sim card? Which carrier exactly are you using and what APN settings have you entered into the device?
You can download an app that automatically enters your carriers APN settings for you called tweakker here.

So.. I went back to stock with the sbf, wiped data and everything but still no 3G.
I tried using my sim card in a ZTE N720 and I get 3g connection.
I've tried a lot of apn settings but none of them worked, I also tried Tweake with standard and alternative settigns but still no luck...
Should I have to change the radio, baseband or something? I already have the radio set up to work on GSM auto (prl).

What APN are you using?
Try turning off airplane mode then turning it on again

SuperbigextremeFacepalm for me!
I called my carrier to get the apn setting again, changed it and now I at least get Edge connection
If I want to get 3G instead of Edge is there something I can change in my D3 settings or it has something to do with the 3g coverage in my area?
Btw, thanks a lot to everyone for helping me out. Specially to DevicesNow for my awesome D3, I totally love it <3

Glad to see your up and running.
3G will work when in coverage areas and there isn't anything that would need to be done to enable this.

APN connection don't work.

I'm having this problem for almost a month.
I tried several different ROMs (2.3.5, 2.3.6, 4.0.) With the same result "NO DATA".
I downloaded dozens of apps in an attempt to activate and configure my APN but without success and also tried to manually configure. I tried with 2 different SIM CARD'S that work well on other devices.
Through Wi-Fi everything works fine.
Please help me

Actually, the Droid 3 and the Milestone 3 are quite a bit different. The Droid 3 refers to the XT862, which is a dual mode CDMA/GSM phone, while the Milestone 3 refers to the XT860, which is GSM only. The XT860 is sold under various names in other areas of the world, however it is not called a Droid 3 in any of those places due to copyright issues with the name Droid.

What kind of ROMS have you been installing? (Custom ROMs? or Stock ROMs?)
Almost all the current custom ROMS for this phone are Verizon / DROID3(XT862) friendly. There are things you may have to do to the ROM to get it to accept your APN's (like maybe replacing the ROM's libmoto_ril.so with your stock one?). I put together the steps for the Bell (Canadian) XT860. (Link below). BUT!! I don't know if this will work for your situation... hopefully this helps as a reference.

we have 8 different ROMs, all of them are official. Tested with at least four of them.
I tested also with other non-official, ex. ICS CM9
Just to reinforce. Before the problem I had already used several of these ROMS the link above and all worked well.
Before the problem have also used several unofficial ROM and all worked fine as well.

So - right now if you install the "Milestone 3 Retail Brasil SBF" (which sounds like it matches your phone exactly), you are saying that you still will not get data?
I think you should install that SBF, then look at the APN to make sure it has the correct info (the APN should be correct because it's an official SBF). If there is no data still, check:
1) Is your mobile data enabled in the settings? (I know, bad question)
2) Is it possible that you're technically in a "roaming" area? (and roaming data is disabled in settings? I know... another bad question!)
I cant think of anything else... sorry... in my experience, an SBF flash has always fixed everything!
This sounds similar to what I would experience when installing a Custom (verizon/xt862-based) ROM on my XT860. They would ONLY allow APN's that contained a Verizon MNC and MCC. When I would try to put in my Bell or Rogers APN, the MNC and MCC wouldn't match, so when I hit save, it would simply discard (leaving my APN list empty).

This problem is driving me crazy, makes no sense.
Like I said I'm trying with two different carriers. The two sim cards work fine on other devices. Just place and use. A relevant information found here is that the "STATUS" have "mobile network type" = edge "service state" in service = "roaming" and not roaming "mobile network state" alternates between connecting and disconnected. (2 in 2 minutes approximately).
About configuring APN. I tried all manual and automatic (using apps on the two carriers)
I'm used to reinstall the operating system of computers to "solve everything" in smartphones should be the same.
Do you know any way even if doing a "root" I view the LOG this connection APN? would be great.

Hi,
I'm wondering if you might be able to help me.
I'm currently using a Droid 3 (from Verizon, XT862) in Australia.
I'm assuming it is already GSM unlocked, as I just put my SIM card into it and was able to make and receive phone calls and SMS.
However, I am unable to get any sort of mobile data connection (besides WIFI).
I have tried tweaking the mobile network settings to use GSM/UMTS instead of Global network mode, but when I do, it drops the network signal and asks me if I want to revert to Global network mode. In the global network mode the APN and Operator Selection options are disabled, so there is no way I can actually set up my provider's APN.
Any ideas?
THanks.

Switch to GSM/UTMS.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
I managed to switch the preferred network mode to GSM/UMTS.
It's also set to "automatic network selection".
However, when I set my provider's APN (I've done it several times), nothing happens. No connection.
I've enabled the data. I've also tried the "Reset to default" option in APN.
Would this be a radio problem?
I mean, the phone's connecting to the network (I can make and receive calls).
Cheers.

[Q] Want to use Droid 3 on Straight Talk

I followed the instructions on the first post of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406812 but I'm not sure if it has worked or not. Would like to know before trying to activate the phone. I would post on that forum, but because I'm a n00b, it won't let me.
Here is what I have done:
1 - Make sure you are on the stock XT862 ROM, if you aren't flash it via this method found here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4370-sbf-...959-and-56890/
Click to expand...

Download link was broken, so found stock ROM at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686911 and flashed the phone OK.
2 - Make sure your phone is rooted, if not download the following and follow the steps found here: http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Bad link, so got Super One Click and was able to root the phone with that.
3 - Unlock the phone. This can be accomplished by purchasing the unlock code, and later entering the code upon insertion of a sim card. (T-mobile ATT sim cards will work, but you will get an error saying UNLOCK FAILED, this is NORMAL do not freak out)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Got SIM from Straight Talk and unlock code from Unlock Fusion on eBay. No problems there.
4 - Download the following files and unzip it to your desktop: http://www.mediafire.com/?y1wjw775v8itsx3
5 - Click Start and open cmd.
6 - Type in the following in cmd:
'cd desktop'
'cd fastboot'
'moto-fastboot flash radio radio.img'
ONCE it flashes, then enter:
'moto-fastboot reboot'
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Took me a while to realize I had to be in AP Fastboot mode to make this work! Saw the box and android icon with progress bar, so I think this worked.
7 - Use root explorer to push the build.prop into the system folder
8 - Reboot, select GSM/UMTS in Network Settings.

Did both of these, also set APN settings per ST instructions.
Problem is that I have no service still. Shows grey bars with red crossed circle. I'm hesitant to activate the phone as I think I should be able to see bars even without activation. Or is it normal not to until activation?

did you set phone to gsm/umts? I am currently using a Droid 3 on straight talk and love it, also ,did you get the simm for an unlocked phone or att or tmoble

I have the phone set to GSM/UMTS, but have also tried Global as someone on that thread suggested that might work if GSM doesn't. I specified an unlocked phone when I ordered and got a SIM that was for Unlocked or AT&T.
I guess the real question is, am I supposed to get service bars before activating the phone? I haven't purchased the activation for it yet. However, I think I should be able to dial 611, but it says no network is available.

I tried re-flashing the radio several times and copying build.prop from the zip file into the /system folder. Still getting the no signal icon. Once I got a gray box with a red plus inside, but on reboot it was gone and the no signal icon was back. Shouldn't I get signal even though my phone has not been activated?

I changed it back to the stock build.prop. No signal. Then changed it back to the build.prop that came in the zip file. Still no signal.

I guess what I'm going to have to do is do a factory restore and start all over again.

I wiped all user data and started over. Performed all the steps again, except I didn't have to unlock the phone. Still no service. See attached picture for what I get.

I have gone through the steps several more times, tried a different order (SBF, flash radio, root, build.prop), tried 2 other build.prop files posted on that thread, and even tried a different program to root the phone (motofail-gb). Same results.

Here's a picture of the phone info. Looks like everything is correct. Any idea what I might be doing wrong???

So I'm trying to configure my Droid 3 for net10, and I keep getting stuck at step 6. I enter everything into the terminal and it says "waiting for device." I did some reading and tried "motofastboot -i 0xfce flash radio radio.img" and still get the same result. Is there something I missed? I have root. I haven't changed the ROM so I don't think I would need to reflash with step 1. I got the unlock code from Verizon and after I installed the net10 sim and entered the code it said "unlock successful." I've tried it both with the phone turned on like normal and hold M+power and selected AP Fastboot and neither seems to work
*update* I reinstalled the drivers and the flash was successful. I copied over build.prop into the system folder (overwrote the original) and now I'm stuck with no signal. Added the APN exactly as it is in my wife's phone (which is active on net10) and nothing. Where should I go from here?

You HAVE to use the XT883 radio and build.prop, the stock XT862 radio will not work on US GSM networks, Verizon had blocks put in the radio firmware to prevent it from being used on competing networks (such as AT&T). I use the D3 on Straight Talk with an AT&T compat sim, if you need help with the XT883 stuff, let me know.

You HAVE to use the XT883 radio and build.prop, the stock XT862 radio will not work on US GSM networks, Verizon had blocks put in the radio firmware to prevent it from being used on competing networks (such as AT&T). I use the D3 on Straight Talk with an AT&T compat sim, if you need help with the XT883 stuff, let me know.

I'm working on downloading the files now. At 50k/sec it's gonna take a while

Also, is the SIM already activated? Else it will NOT be accepted onto the network (it'll show signal strength under 'status' but no bars) it only shows signal bars if registered on the network. Since it 'sees' AT&T and T-Mobile (when you scan networks) I do not think it's a phone/radio problem.

Borrowed my wife's active SIM and everything works. Currently -81dBm. I hadn't activated mine yet because I didn't want to port my number and be without a phone if this didn't work

Awesome, so when you decide to activate your sim, it should work fine! Good to hear, also I suggest (if you followed the instructions for data) remove the 'proxy' field. It actually blocks a few apps and whatnot and try to keep data usage around 1~1.5GBs a month. Else you'll get throttled or possibly cut off.

The APN I used for her (and now me) I actually had to piece together from three different ones I found. I don't know why net10 would change what they're telling people to use, but until I set it up like this, it wouldn't send or receive MMS. The current ATT APN on their website doesn't work at all for me. This is what I ended up with that works great
Name: net10
APN: wap.tracfone
Proxy: NA
Port :80
MMSC: mmsc.cingular.com (lead by http but new members can't post that)
MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.32
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type: PAP
APN Type: default,mms,supl

Unlocked US Note 9 loosing mobile network

Hey All,
I just got an unlocked US version could silver note 9. I am on N960U1UEU1AEL1 firmware and T-Mobile network. I seem to have an issue where the phone is dropping connection. It shows the LTE icon in the task bar but I cant connect to the internet. I have to restart the phone in order for it to connect. It seem to be tied to a wifi or something along those lines. If I connect to a wifi then walk away from it, the phone has trouble picking a tower but it shows that I am connected to LTE. I tried adding new APN settings but it defaults to the T-Mobile APN. Do I really need to flash TMB firmware, I really liked the unlocked version without all the bloat. All help is appreciated.

That Baseband or Software version doesn't sound right. AEL1 isn't a version I see that was released.. All Unlocked software versions are AR**. Double check that.

Sorry, I just made a typo, it does end with ARL1.

Have you tried resetting the network settings? That's where I would start. Could be a bug with your software. If that doesn't work try rebooting the phone into recovery mode and wiping the cache partition the reboot. If that doesn't work back up your data then factory wipe the phone.

I haven't tried resetting the phone yet. This is my first phone that is not rooted and I started using Blokada from day one. I wonder if Blokada is causing this, hmmmm.

Ok, I did some more research and it sppears to be an issue with Blokada version 3.6.
