[Q] SGS 4G on AT&T? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Traded my Inspire 4g for a unlocked SGS 4G and it works decent. Just disconnects from the AT&T network a-lot, but is there any way to get 3g speeds and better reception so i wont have to restart my phone every hour. i know AT&T runs on 850mhz and i believe 1900mhz but no matter what bands i change my phone to im stuck with 2G.

i used to have my sgs4g on at&t then i switched to simple mobile.what apn r u using? what i recommend you do to help with the connection is download apn manager from the marketplace it comes preloaded with a bunch of at&t apn's and see which one works best with u, or u can take it to an at&t store and ask them to set it up for u using their apn. hope this helps

Tried all the diffrent APN's i could find, it goes 2G or 1G.
i love the phone just wish it worked on at least 3g, if it did i would be content in life.

I unlocked an SGS4G for a friend about 2 months ago and he was on the AT&T network getting 3G speeds. I didn't have to configure any APN specifically. Put the SIM card in and it recognized right away.
This is in Vegas though, so not sure if it's a reception/tower issue where you are.
I did the same thing to a Vibrant for a friend as well. Same story, 3G coverage.

I can verify that 3g does work for AT&T on this phone. Im using it right now. I didnt have to do anything special except unlock it. I dont ever have to restart my phone either.

Inspire 4G on a 3G Network?

Hello Everyone. I have been searching the forums for an answer to my problem but haven't found any info.
I recently purchased a Inspire 4G online with out realizing that there was no AT&T 4G coverage in my area. I also made a poor assumption that this phone would be backwards compatible to my current 3G service.
My question: Is this phone backwards compatible and I just don't know the proper settings or do I just stick it in a drawer and wait for AT&T to role out 4g in my area sometime in the fall. ( so they are saying )
I would appreciate any help
Thanx
I would assume it's backwards compatible. I just bought the same phone and the 4G in my area is spotty at best. The service icon usually shows 3G, but in some places it goes to H++ or whatever and is super fast. So I'm assuming I am just running regular 'ol 3G on my inspire most of the time.
What settings are you talking about on your phone? I just put my SIM in and it worked... Then I flashed with Cyanogen and it still worked great without changing any settings. If you have modified a bunch of the radio settings, maybe you should do a factory reset.
-Tracy
yes its backward compatible. it has everything from edge (2G) to hsdpa (3.5G)
Fully backwards compatible and you don't need to do anything settings-wise. When HSPA+ rolls out in your area, the phone will grab a signal automatically for you.
All of my internet apps error with a Connection Failure message an I constantly have a H+ over a check mark for my network icon never a 3G.
The check mark indicates that your data connection is not connected.

The phone will not show 3G, Only ones I've seen are H+, E, and G. And G had the same download speeds as H+ when I did a speed test.
Wrong..I have saw 3g on my phone before I rooted.

Thanx everyone for you prompt replies. Stopped by an "autherized AT&T reseller" and was told I needed a 4G SIM card. The rep installed the new card ( at no cost ) and I am back on the net. I had thought that I could simply insert my current SIM from my Capivate and be on my merry way, I was wrong.
Thanx again.
Yeah the owners manual indicates a 3g icon when on 3g too.

That's strange. When I got my Inspire I just swapped my 3g SIM from my Eternity II and was on my merry way.

Could be his SIM card just went bad and the timing was a coincidence. SIM cards aren't terribly reliable.
the H icon DOES mean you are on att 3G, they just screwed around with the icons for their devices. go into settings, about, and find the network status and see which you are connected to. it will likely say HSDPA which is att's 3G. even when HSPA+ does come along you will still see the H most likely...
Lol you're wrong that you were wrong. I use the same sim. It just needs to be provisioned for the right access point. This was confirmed by the ATT rep when I activated my phone.

Hello all I'm new to the rooting and custom ROM community but I'm sure i have the hang of it by now...but my problem is that i am using CM7-RC1 and before this i used CM7 NIGHTLY # 60 and with both i have not been able to use or see a 4g network
As of right now all i have is 1x or E
i have searched the forums and have seen that there are some APN issues but, i have not found any solutions to my problem...
any input would be appreciated.

You dont ever see H? H is the symbol for HSPA+ or 4G which is basically the same (according to t-mobile). If you never see an H then that is odd. Was it a fresh install and did you do a full wipe of your last rom before flashing?
it's no "4G" icon....but it's 4G speed when you see "H"
I like to see 4G icon too
if your seeing 1X thats cdma lol probably simple, i had this problem, do this go to settings, then wireless networks, then mobile network, and then access point names and make sure u see it on tmobile not simple, if it is on simple tap on the dot next to tmobile. then after that back out go to phone hit *#*#4636#*#*, then u will see a menu, go to phone information and scroll down , make sure it is on wcdma preferred.... let me know how u make out buddy
When i installed this ROM i went through ROM manager and cleared cache, delvik cache, wiped data, and back up...so from my knowlege it was a clean install.
I also dont ever see 3g or H or H+ sadly, i want this problem fixed

hmmm, do u have an older style simcard? in another words did u take it out of ....lets say a g1 and stick it in the g2x? or did it come with g2x new? cuz older sim cards are having problems with newer phones u would have to grab a new one from tmobile they would give u one for free if that was the case .....also did u skip the sign in process? (google acct) cuz for some reason u cant do that u have to sign in rite away... ok try this first hard reboot, hold vol up and power until it reboots and see what happens if a nogo then also try one more thing go back to settings , wireless networks, mobile networks, then network operators and hit search network like 5 times it might give u an error let it say it then try again then go back to access points and click on tmobile not the dot part on the actual word tmobile and then u should see the list hit your menu and see if theres a reset apn try that then save, also minor thing to try go into ur browser go to setting and delete cache , history, cookies, and form data.

What I mean is that these are GSM phones, not CDMA (Sprint and Verizon). Is it possible you're roaming on another network, not T-Mobile? Maybe you don't even have 4G signal where you are.
Open your dialpad and dial *#*#4636#*#* then go to phone information. When your phone displays 1x what does it say is your current network, and then look down several lines and what does it say is the network type?
Anyone know does this phone support GSM1x??? It's a technology to allow roaming between GSM and CDMA networks.
Well under network type it says unknown although i am :
Network: T-Mobile
Roaming: Not Roaming
GSM Service: In Service
GPRS: Connected
Network Type: Unknown
I am also under WCDMA only

Googling my fingers off here lol. The only references I can find to 1x have to do with CDMA networks (Sprint and Verizon which the G2X is not compatible with) and GSM1x which seems to have been experimented with about a decade ago as a possible evolution for GSM providers to utilize CDMA technologies or something like that.
Nowadays GSM carriers here (AT&T and T-Mobile) use UMTS/WCDMA for their 3G data whereas Verizon and Sprint use CDMA2000 (which includes CDMA 1x). The 2 technologies are not compatible but GSM1x was designed to be some sort of a bridge between GSM and CDMA2000.
Have you ever had 3G/4G access thru T-Mobile where you live?

Ensure that 2G networks are not only selected - try *#*#4636#*#* and select ' phone' and go to the bottom - GSM/WCDMA Auto PRL or something like that should be selected.
Also, try *#2263# if you have the Rogers modem and change the band to automatic mode that way. You can't use this option with the AT&T modem.
Lastly, you are currently in an HSPA or standard UMTS zone with good coverage, correct? EDGE will display sometimes with a stronger 2G signal where 3G/HSPA are weak.

I am having the same issue on AT&T. After playing around with Infused 2.1, I reverted back to the stock UCKD5 baseband and build, and I cannot connect to HSPA/HSPA+ anywhere, even with excellent coverage. I confirmed all of the GSM/WCDMA auto (PRL) settings, but cannot get the phone to connect to anything other than EDGE. Any ideas?
Umm...
I would guess try the newer modems and see if they work. If they do not then do a full restore. Other then that i have no idea. Does anyone know if it is safe to be on the infused rom then flash a modem like the original onto it?
Flashed the original factory AT&T ROM using Odin (unrooted version)...phone works great but still no 3G/4G, and a very poor EDGE signal. I have an AT&T BlackBerry which has a booming 3G signal in the same area. The AT&T store installed what they claimed was a 4G SIM card when I purchased the phone. I wonder if the infuse needs to be "re-activated" to work with HSPA?

Ok in the dialer do *data#. Then you will get a message. If you are above 2024 mb or somthing like that it will start to throttle speeds to edge.

Are you sure?
Are you sure? Because for me i went over for a little bit and my speeds became extremely slow. Anyway, back on topic, does anyone else have any ideas?
Fixed it...to get HSPA/HSPA+ back, I did a "software format" using the following dial code: (this will wipe your phone as soon as you type it!)
*2767*3855#
After it reset, the H+ icon appeared after a few seconds.

Run a SR on Tmobile H+ Network?

Hey I was just wondering if it was possible to unlock a Skyrocket then flash a Tmobile radio and receive H+ data speeds. How would I go about doing it? Which radio would you suggest? Thanks.
Nobody? Theretically it could be done but I just want someone to confirm for me.
After unlocking phone someone tried running t-mobile sim and he said only edge but he did not flash t989 radio so idk. If i can unlock it for free i will try it and let you know.

I have an opportunity to get my hands on one of these phones very soon. I have a HTC HD2 on T-mobile's network. If it is not a bother, could you verify this? I wouldn'' want to be responsible for you bricking your phone, but I would be most appreciative for the information on it's possibilty if you know what you are doing.
It is unlocked.
What do you need me to verify?? I m confused !
Because you can run t**** on i727 with edge network plus you can flash t989 radios on i727 i done that before but not with t**** sim card.

its not possible because t-mobile radios for skyrocket dont exist, so you can't flash an other radio for tmobile as it wont work and you migh just end up screwing your phone. tmobile sucks man, change to anything else.......if you like good hardware that it
Yes they exist what you talking about!! YOu can flash them. Here you can dload and flash it through cwm.

HSPA+ will not work with the Skyrocket no matter if a radio exists or not. The simple reason is that supported H+ frequencies are 1700 for download and 2100mhz for upload and skyrocket only goes 1900mhz and 2100mhz. So unless you are able to enable the 1700mhz frequency, 4G or 3G will not work with the skyrocket! Edge is the only frequency that will

I'll be travelling to the states next week and will flash either the Telus or Tmobile radio to use Tmobile's prepaid plans. If no one's replied back to you by then, I'll let you know what I find.
However, there are already reported success of people with SR and the Telus radio using the phone on Canada's 1700 AWS network (Wind).. so pretty sure it'll work. Flashing the radio is safe as well, I've already done it once.
Well make sure you do nandroid before flashing that t989 radio. Plus he wants to know how it will run with tmobile sim card and t989 radio on unlocked phone.

OK, I'm in Orlando now and got the T-Mobile prepaid plan...I flashed the T-Mobile vk1 radio and for some reason, I can't connect to any data. I wasn't even able to go into the mobile network settings screen to see the apn settings. Got a msg to insert a sim card to access services...
I then flashed the telus radio and got 3g right away. Speeds are pretty pathetic tho...only 2m down...maybe I'm just too spoiled by lte
Anyways, it's been a long tiring day so I won't do anymore testing right now..maybe tmr I'll try the other kl1 T-Mobile radio.

[Q] i727 on Straight Talk

I have a i727 SR that I bought off a buddy. I first tried to use it as a go-phone with no luck. I then bought a Straight Talk BYOD ATT sim and have tried to use it. When I first activated it I had voice and SMS. I traveled down the road and the 4G led popped up and I then had voice, sms and data (using the tfdata APN). When I returned to my home town, I could only connect to Edge towers and have to service at all. I started out on stock JB, I've tried stock Gb 2.3.5 and the 2.3.6 update. I used the UCLD2 rom linked in the "Unlock free proceed at own risk" thread. And I've also tried stock ICS as well as the SGH-T989_UVMC6_radio w/JB (not sure if that was the correct ROM to use with the TMO radio. I can take that sim and put it in my LG Thrive P-506 and have to problems connecting to 3G (UMTS). I've tried all the APNs I can find (ST website says to use tfdata). I've read, studied, and experimented and now I'm asking for help. Any suggestions?
well for starters the tfdata settings are the correct settings, also check if their coverage map and see what's supposed to work in your area. always test on settings that you know worked previously.
The radio should not be a problem. The stock JB 4.1.2 radio UCMC1 works on all JB ROMs I've tried many of them. Not sure why you tried GB but I would recommend using stock JB as I know straight talk works with them (though you may have some MMS issues) just so you can verify everything works fine before moving on.
and owmblem
there are at least 2 different apns for straight talk att if you have a sim from say the nokia e71 do a search for E71 apn settings thease are the same from as the original setting from when straight talk FIRST put out there BYOP. at one point they switched to different settings that are currently on there web site. the settings that are on the web site DOES NOT work with every stragttalk att sim you have to try both and see what works for you also they just started selling the att sims again and there might be new settings for those also so you might have to look around to find the correct ones
The sim card that I received works fine in my old thrive go phone (lg p-506). In my skyrocket the only time I have service is when I connect to a 3g or faster tower. When im at work my SR will only connect to edge and I have no service. When I put the sim in my thrive it connects to 3g And works just very slowly. Im almost at the point were I believe it's a hardware problem. I need to find a post-paid att sim and see if it is the phone or not. Another thing that complacates testing is that I have no service at my house. BTW, Thanks for the replies.
I was able to connect to 2g and 3g towers after I installed RUXMA7 r adio and manually selecting frequencies. Does anyone know why I connect to towers through which I don't have service? It's a real pain when driving selecting different frequencies.

I was able to connect to 2g and 3g towers after I installed RUXMA7 r adio and manually selecting frequencies. Does anyone know why I connect to towers through which I don't have service? It's a real pain when driving selecting different frequencies.

Because straight talk service sucks so it connects to real providers. Check your apn and roaming settings or get a better provider.

This is the newest straightalk APN when using a att Sim. Also if u just go a new att LTE Sim from straightalk u will be able with the same settings to get LTE
