We know how much you like to stream, ahem, "videos", and so cellular data is mega-important. Rate this thread to express how you think the Razer Phone 2's LTE performs. A higher rating indicates that it's fantastic: throughput is excellent and signal strength is top-notch.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add.

Had to call AT&T, especially since they picking RP2. As result:no results, I pretty much don't have LTE, and constant connection issues plus dropping service.

Yeah. I have a second SIM card that is for my work phone from AT&T and when I place it into the RP2 the same thing happens.
This might be an issue with the unlocked variant. :/
It's still not a deal breaker hahaha

Thanks for the suggestion, however when I enter this sequence on the phone app it just clears itself and does not bring up anything.
I also tried hitting the call button after I type the sequence and an error pops up stating that there is a connection problem and it is an invalid MMI code.
I'll look up online to see what it means and update you all if I find anything.

It's one of the magic dialer codes thats supposed to work on most Androids I believe. It's a sort of service menu. Razer seems to have disabled most of them in the production builds. *#06# is the only one I've found so far which still works (probably more out of necessity though)

So I found out there was an error with the code mentioned above.
Enter: *#*#4636#*#*
This will take you to settings to make the changes to SIM card.
Now the question lies, what should be changed to optimize cellular connection?

I have AT&T and mine is TD-SCDMA/CDMA/UMTS
You can play around with it try LTE/UMTS auto prl you might have to turn data on and off for it to take effect.

Alright this is what I have done so far and it looks promising!
1. Entered the code *#*#4636#*#* in the stock phone app on the dial
- from here I changed the following setting in the phone information tab
-- Set Preferred Network Type > LTE/TD-SCDMA/UMTS
-- Clicked on the top right corner (3 Dots) > Select Radio Band > United States
2. Now I also went to the AT&T Support site for phones that are not provided by them and they recommend to make some changes on the phone's network settings as well. Here is the Link to the Changes that need to be made...
https://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/wireless/KM1218306?gsi=QMyE1Pw
Here is a brief summary of what I have on my end:

--Once all the settings are in place make sure you select the new profile you just created.
As of now, I am able to get LTE+ and in the past 3 to 4 hours my signal has not dropped at all!
I hope this helps you all
What happens here is pretty weird. LTE on band 20 works like a charm. LTE+ is good. LTE on band 3 doesn't work.
It is connected to network, I have good signal and I can easily get the list of connected towers, but I have no data and so I cannot surf the internet.
I tried to edit the build.prop by disabling CDMA and enabling LTE on GSM, I changed the default network. Still, I got no luck.
Anyone experiencing something similar?

Hello everyone. So if we are experiencing weak or dropped signals with the Razer Phone 2, what preferred network type should one use that is with Verizon. I already contacted them to change my profile to a CDMA less account so I can receive texts and voice mails.
try (*#800#) it should bring up a warning.. enter.. you'll see a list of ...... choose fist option (logkit) you want to find (function switch) select it.... then you will be able to enable voice over LTE and Wi-Fi calling has other options also..
I hate to be too much of a pain in the rear, what would you do to setup APNs for straight talk? It won't let me even name the APN so it won't let me save it. Let alone add any other information.

First I want to say I don't have a note so I can't confirm this myself. I was watching a review and the guy said he had hspa on his note. I poked around the site and saw some instructions on how to get a unlocked device working on tmo.
Can someone test this and post their findings? I would love a note on tmo!

Thank you for trying. AT&T works fine... T-Mobile has a different radio frequency ... its like trying to get an FM station on an AM channel. The guy in the video has AT&T which this phone is compatible with. The chip is able to support T-Mobile frequency but there is no driver to enable it... it just doesn't exist. The only way for this to work is if a dev (or Samsung) makes a driver for us. The other thread has a bounty of over $1000 now and nobody will do it still because it would take to long... so, until something changes, were stuck on edge or we have to move to AT&T. A side note; I bought a gophone sim card and paid the $50 unlimited for a moth and it worked perfectly so you could always just do that... but you can't port your number to a prepaid account.

Hi
I'm in the UK and on the T-Mobile network, I get a better signal in my area (H+) when I choose the network "T-Mobile" rather than "T-Mobile/Orange", the problem I have is that it seems to default to "T-Mobile/Orange" and I have to manually change the network via settings/mobile networks.
Is there anyway for it to choose T-Mobile by default and stay on it?
Kind Regards
Are you selecting network manually. If so have you checked apn settungs to see if you can enter tmobiles details only.
Not sure with them merging there cell towers if you can only select 1 though

Hi Thanks for the reply, I'm not sure about the checking apn settings bit, I've gone into "edit access point" but haven't a clue what I'm looking at!
I'm on T-Mobile aswell and I only have the below fields filled in:
Name: web'n'walk
APN: general.t-mobile.uk
MCC: 234
MNC: 30
APN type: internet
I get about 1.8mb download speed on a H+ signal, although I did hit 4mb once when I was in Central London. My GNote rarely switches over to the Orange signal although I have seen it happen.
Mine is the following:
Name: T-Mobile Internet
APN: general.t-mobile.uk
MCC: 234
MNC: 30
APN type: internet+mms
I get 3.70Mbps Down 0.54Mbps up whilst on T-mobile and 0.81Mbps Down 0.35Mbps up whilst on T-Mobile/Orange! Big difference.
I know there are plenty of global-network related threads on here, but the majority of them were made back before the OTA update and reference the complicated stuff while leaving out the more basic stuff, like *where* to set your APN.
I've got a standard Telus SIM card (from my old Milestone, which was just barely hanging on in a few vital areas... proximity sensor flakes out, headphone jack has been repaired three times, GPS no longer works...) and just trimmed it with scissors based on this guide: w w w . techradar . com /news/mobile-computing/tablets/how-to-make-your-own-ipad-or-iphone-4-micro-sim-681020 (sorry, can't post links so remove the spaces...) I'll note that I marked which corner of the SIM was "rounded off" before cutting, so I wouldn't lose track. (just make a little mark at the edge of the "chip" contacts in that corner.)
Opening the back of the battery cover without the original opener tool isn't as nice as it could be, but I've successfully used staples and a mechanical pencil tip.
One you put in the SIM and power up the device, you'll get an "unknown SIM" error, but it should still start fine.
After I got through the setup stuff, my phone worked for dialing and receiving calls, but no data. here's what I had to do:
[menu]->[system settings]->[wireless and networks: more...]->[mobile networks]
Make sure [Data Enabled] is checked.
tap [global data roaming access] and set it to [allow access for all trips]
Scroll down to "GSM/UMTS settings" and tap [Access Point Names]
tap the [menu] button and [new APN]
Use these values: (from: androidforums dot com /hero-support-troubleshooting/45005-mobile-network-apn-settings.html#post348959)
Code:
Name: TELUS SP
APN: sp dot telus dot c o m (sorry, can't post links so remove the spaces...)

Recently connected an ICS Verizon Droid 4 to Telus but am now getting -100 dBm signal both inside and outside the house. Old Milestone never had any signal issues, whatsoever, inside or outside.
I created the Telus APN using the correct settings, which got me H data. Then, I went through the network settings, manually chose Telus, manual set on GSM/UMTS (not global), and set to UMTS only for network. Still only 1-2 bars max, always.
Any ideas or settings to change?

I very rarely see more than 2 bars. My old Motorola xprt was this way until it received an update than the signal meter was more accurate, I think it something you just live with.
Question have you tried to setup call fowarding? It doesn't allow me say I am roaming.

I plan to purchase this phone and based on the specs I've seen it should have no trouble on the new Telus/SaskTel network here in Saskatchewan (Please correct me if I'm wrong). Just a quick question for those of you who have the phone, can you or do you have to root this phone to delete the unnecessary bloatware that comes on the phone?
Thanks in advance
I've seen some AT&T customers complain about terrible speeds and latency when doing speed tests. I too had this issue. Before the fix, I was getting about 20 kbps downstream and 400+ latency. After, I'm getting 6+ mbps and 80-120 latency. I fixed mine by adding a new APN with these settings. To change them, go to SETTINGS -> MORE... -> MOBILE NETWORKS -> ACCESS POINT NAMES. From here, either select the existing one or click the menu key to create a new one. Also, if you create a new one, make sure to select it after you're done making it. (you have to tap the radio to select it because tapping the name will edit it but NOT select it).
The blank ones are blank/unspecified. You probably only need to change APN and APN type (the other shown values were already like this on mine). For APN type, those are commas separating the terms. I posted a link to 3 shared screenshots so you can see what it should look like.

Thanks..I honestly didn't think there was a difference between the LTE and non-LTE plans at AT&T. But my dad is in charge of the plan, so maybe I am missing something.
I'm using the same Stock AT&T PTA apn I've used since the Infuse 4g and it works perfect. Stock APN I couldn't even get 20kbps most of the time. Now I can at least get 5.7 (about what I'm used to in my area).

I'm using the pta APN since I came from an LTE phone so my sim is provisioned for it. I usually got about 8-9mbps down in this location when on my sgs3 so if these speeds stick and improve I'm quite happy. Obviously uploads are the biggest hit but not too worried about that

I'm using the pta APN since I came from an LTE phone so my sim is provisioned for it. I usually got about 8-9mbps down in this location when on my sgs3 so if these speeds stick and improve I'm quite happy. Obviously uploads are the biggest hit but not too worried about that

It wouldn't work for me with the default WAP.Cingular APN. As soon as I changed it to the hspa+ one, speed test worked.
For this of you on the pta APN, does your MMS work? If so, do you still have the WAP.Cingular APN in the list (just not checked)? Or is the pta APN the only one listed?
I too have my Sim provisioned for lte, but if I use the pta APN, I get great data speeds, but no MMS. Thanks.

Many thanks for posting this! My internet donwload speeds went from .001 MBPS download to 2.97MBPS. I hate to say this, but it still felt snappy even at .001 MBPS. My Galaxy S2 was so slow to process websites.
solved minus mms......
I get faster speeds with the new APN, but I can't get H+ in areas where is was able to get it with my S3. Anyone have a solution?
thanks for this!
Posted this on another similar thread. Worked for me. It's the Cingular.WAP APN but slightly different.
"Anybody still having issues with att H+ speeds try the APN settings from this link
http://nerdynerdnerdz.com/blog/2011/07/23/att-apn-mms-settings-android/
My speed increased by 600% when I switched to this, from barely 1Mbps to 6+Mbps. I also can run the speed test app now whereas before I could not."

Modify the following and you'll have MMS again:
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 80

Yes, add this to the OP and everything will work.
I came across this topic on rootzwiki a while back and it's helped me a few times. Obviously it's for ATT only.

This is solved.
The Phone Carrier found the solution and sent me a text.
As many others in many other places suspect, It is an APN issue. To me it looks like Samsung has made some assumptions about what the APN setting should be for different carriers and simply loads them in as part of the update. The sets the Network Operators to select automatically. Sometime this only gets close enough that the phone only makes call but not SMS or mms. sometimes SMS works too but many time the mms setting fail.
This is the USA solution for those using Straight Talk
Settings --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names -->> you should already have a Straight Talk
If you don't you will have to call the Tech Line for the complete list as this maybe somewhat device specific.
Change the following.
Name: Straight Talk
APN: RESELLER
PROXY: not set
PORT: not set
User name: not set
Password: not set
Server: not set
MMSC: http: //mmsc .mobile.att.net
MMS PROXY: proxy mobile. att. net
MMS PORT: 80
MCC: 310
MNC410
AUTH TYPE: not set
MMS APN TYPE: default.mms.supl
APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN Roaming: IPv4/IPv6
Ok,
I did the OTA Update to Build Number MMB29K.T815YDVU2BPG5 ,,, Baseband version T815YDVU2BPE5 and mms has died.
Cannot send. If I try it takes 15-20 minutes for it to fail and give the failed message.
If I am sent an mms I get a message showing a download arrow and when I tap it, it takes about 5 minutes to get the "DOWNLOAD FAILED" message.
Things I have tried:
Checked APN setting with carrier. ---- They were correct
Deleted all other APN's from the system. ---- >> No CHANGE
Set APN protocol(s) to IPv4/IPv6 (carrier said it would be OK) ---->> NO CHANGE
Set Chrome to be the DEFAULT BROWSER ----->> NO CHANGE
Tried it in SAFE MODE ----->> still no mms send
The above should have done the next one but still tried the next one.
Deleted ALL other apps that had mms permissions--->> NO CHANGE
Things I have not tried:
Complete reset. Research says sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it works for a few hours and then mms fails again. Really big hassle.
Trying to ROLL BACK. Nothing about this looks easy or something a person without pretty high level knowledge and skills and access to a really good computer should attempt. This is especially true since I have one of the more unusual versions. The SM-T815Y (GSM LTE with a SIM card) and none of the other variations that have full phone capability were supposed to be available in the USA. Info for any version that isn't GSM LTE is probably useless since the hardware will be different. I get no WARRANTY SERVICE from Samsung. Cannot even register it with them. To get the original OS I have to download from foreign sites with all the perils that involve.
Hoping some else has some ideas I haven't tried short of a master reset.
