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

my bad for the double post but, i have done all the steps here and even tried rebooting the phone and i still get 1x.
Just in case you are wondering before, with the original ROM, i did have 4g signal
I have the "H".

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?

I haven't been able to find a fix either, it might be my sim, slight chance cause i had it in mytouch 3g slide brand new and just switched over to the g2x
so i was playing with my friends s2 which is on sprint and he has a 3g/4g toggle. is it possible to do this on ATT? is it possible to run sprint roms on the att version?
i would love to be able to move data to 3g/edge while i am not really using the phone and this can save me tons of battery.
if someone knows please help.
also, ive tried the manual mode but it doesnt let me select other options in network settings.

Please do not even think about trying.to put a epic 4g touch rom on the skyrocket. Or anyother phones rom. Do not flash anything other then skyrocket. , and tmobile galaxy s2 roms on your phone or you will brick it. And no there is no toggle to turn off lte. You can edit the apn settings so it will not use lte. A quick search will explain how u can do that
Not sure about AT&T but the Rogers ROM has a fairly quick way to switch... In Settings-Wireless and Network-Mobile Networks, there is "Network Mode" which allows you to pick from GSM/HSPA/LTE (Auto mode), GSM/HSPA (Auto mode), GSM only, or HSPA only... I switch it to the GSM/HSPA (Auto mode) when I am not in Ottawa (no LTE in Deep River) and it saves a fair bit of battery.

Which setting do you use though to shut it off to 3G only on AT&T? The options aren't very descriptive. Some are obviously not used but I'm not sure which to try. Here's the options I get by putting in that *#*#4636#*#*:

GSM auto (PRL)
CDMA auto(PRL)

EvDo only
GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)

GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto [This is the one that is selected]
Also, it seems like it doesn't let me change it. I tried setting it to GSM only and when i came back to the screen it was still on the LTE Auto setting.

Ditto. I used the app "phoneinfo" which is just a short cut way of doing the #*#*4636*#*# thing, and when I change it, it always goes back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE.

3g or 4g, with no LTE would be stellar. It would get me more play time on Pandora and Tunein. I use Nav and Tunein, when I am on the road, and use a 1Mah charger, and it's a very slow and steady drain, I suspect when I am in and around home, St. Louis, I am running LTE and eating battery.
I suppose if I have to have LTE constantly, another option would be better pricing structure. Maybe 5gigs for 30 a month, or unlimited again.
The att radios are rat locked.
So no you can not change these settings.
I live in north jersey and we don't have late I'm 5 min from NY and it has amazing lte but I don't go too often I want to totally disable my late and maybe re enable it once north jersey gets late can someone tell me if that's possible and if so how

Slight problem: This doesn't work. That very same thread reveals that the phone will just override whatever you choose.
even though your not in a lte area, it isnt searching for the signal. Proven from other members already. So dont worry about it. If your not using data, just turn off mobile data for now.
I even tried to make the APN that a lot of people are having luck with, but where I live there is constantly an LTE signal so it got it anyways even with the HSPA+ APN I made for some reason. My battery life is bad with LTE but the speed is amazing.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk
I'm trying to set the HSPA-only APN on my phone, since my phone keeps trying extra hard to get on the little LTE it can find here, and it's MURDERING my battery.
Seems AT&T locked the APN's, too. I can't select anything other than the default AT&T profile.
I think you guys could try the patch to convert to Rogers Version in dev section... (root required)
not sure if you guys could flash a Rogers RUU or not (s-off required)
at least ATT stock rom, its hard to disable LTE...
Made a new APN with the exact same settings as the default but with APN Type set to *. Speeds are about the same as my gsii.
Nvm, that didn't work. Ill have to go back to the wap.cingular settings.
Try editing the build.prop and changing the ro.telephony.default_network setting to 0. The default value set by AT&T should've been 9, indicating that the device should connect to LTE > WCDMA > GSM networks in that order. Setting it to 0 reconfigures the device to prefer WCDMA networks over GSM and LTE networks.
The changed setting should read: ro.telephony.default_network=0

If you do not live in an LTE area then there is no reason to disable LTE on the phone. AT&T uses an integrated "circuit switched fallback" on the radio which defaults to UMTS/HSPA(+) when not in an LTE area.
The only people who would benefit from an LTE "on/off" switch would be people who do live in an LTE area so that they can disable it when not using the phone for simple sync procedures.

I live in a really annoying place in NJ where it is constantly switching between LTE (1 bar) and HSPA+ (4 bars). I can literally watch my battery drain. And I can barely use data since its constantly switching back and forth.
After some searching, I found that you can go to the APN settings, create a new profile, change the "Name" to whatever (I chose AT&T HSPA+) and change the "APN" field to "phone" without quotation marks.
Leave everything else defaulted to the normal values.
Then save the APN and go back to the APN screen and click on the little white radio button on the right of the APN you created (be sure to click on the radio button, not the whole bar).
Reboot. I just did this today so I will see how it affects my battery life.
Build.prop is the Only Correct Method

^This.
Changing the apn will make your data slower, but not alter your radio's behavior. Changing the build.prop will keep your radio from looking for anything else once it finds a WCDMA (UMTS, 3G) connection.
Note that you need to find and change all occurrences of ro.telephony.default_network to 0. The build.prop on AT&T RUUs includes it multiple times with different values.

I've been scouring the internet trying to find a solution. I've been wanting this for a while. I did my research to figure out which model of the G pro2 worked with AT&T. It arrives and now nothing. I'm only getting G not 3g or LTE. I am a bit new to smart phones. I've tried everything I can think of. Am I using the wrong apn settings? Is there something in the band selection menu I'm missing. I'm at a complete loss what am I doing wrong?
In Dialer 5754#*350# and activate your Bands or 5457#*350#
Still no dice
I've gone into the menu and specifically selected the required bands but still not dice. I went into the lte band selection menu. Is there another menu I should go into?

I have yet to root my phone I am a bit of a newb when it comes to things like this. I do plan on rooting it and giving it a Skin that has a lot more english. I have done this I selected bands 17 and 5 for lte and 850, 1900 for wcdma and gsm. In the Band Selection Menu. Should I be doing anything with WCDMA Channel, LTE Channel, WCDMA Security, RAT mode, RRC Version, SMS MO Domain, Service Domain, any specific APN setting what is it on your wife's phone, EF file edit, HSPDA category, HSUPA category, GCF Test, OEM RAD Settings, SKT Auto Test, IRS Setting, CA Setting, LTE 3GPP Rel. VER. or anything else I am missing?
I've determined that my phone is a very good fake
IDK if this is real issue but if some does have this problem and comes up with a solution. Please post it here I was beyond frustrated and hope this problem can be solved for someone.
Try going back to 4.4 and using LTE
Try taking your phone to an AT&T store and explain it to them. They will install a new SIM card and associate it with your IMEI #. Then you will have LTE!

I'm sitting in front of a Tmo store waiting for them to open and see where that goes. Hey guys how's battery life with this device. For what ever reason when I did put a Tmo sim in this phone it got only 3g now the chip was a nano from my nexus 6 using a quality adapter but holy crap I've never seen a phone eat a better like Godzilla. Hell it killed the device in like 3hrs. Although when removing the sim it seems to go normal using just WiFi connection. Very strange device behavior. Does this phone have bad battery life in its normal state? Since I am a huge "Big Screen" fanatic I would probably just get the extended battery from the Japan guys on amazon. Your thoughts?

1. You Should have an LTE Sim
2. LTE Data service Should be enabled on It.
3. You have correct APN settings From your Carrier
4. You should be in LTE Coverage Area
Now go to Hidden Menu of the Phone. 5457#*350#
in WCDMA Service Menu
1. Slecect WCDMA Channel and Slecect Full
2. In LTE Channel Select your Preffered band ( You should Knew your LTE band or ask from Carrier)
3. In Band Selection Select your bands or select automatic
4. In RAT Mode select automatic
5. Check mar APN Edit Function.
You can also increase RRC Version, HSDPA Category, HSUPA Category and LTE 3GPP Rel. Ver. if your carrier supports you can get higher speeds.
Reboot Again

I'm considering buying the European version of the xz premium for use in the US, since it comes with the fingerprint reader already enabled, and is about $100 USD cheaper. However, I've seen some people raise concern over the cell reception when running the European firmware. I'm wondering if anybody knows if this could be due to the European firmware not matching the physical bands included on the U.S. device (of if that's even a thing), and also if that could be somewhat solved by just getting it straight from Europe. Is there anybody that has the European version that could speak to the cell reception quality in the United States?
If you use the European device in the US, you also have to change the settings for the used bands.
There is an option to change used frequencies in *#*#4636#*#*. Guess that would make a difference since the hardware is always the same.

If you use the European device in the US, you also have to change the settings for the used bands.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. I didn't know that they all had the same physical bands
You don't need to change anything.
When you pop in US sim, all bands are available and appropriate LTE CA combinations are loaded.
3G calling will work, but you will miss out on VoLTE with euro region firmware.
Bought my XZP from Clove UK.. Using it in NYC.. No probs with reception.. No need to change anything, all I did was pop in the sim card, working great ?
I recommend to change the radio configuration to "United States" just in case.
I just popped in my AT&T sim and no problems. I did set the bands to the United States...makes no difference as everything works the same.
UK model G8141 here in US. I just put my AT&T sim and got LTE and great connection right away. No worries.
I ordered mine from Clove as well, and while it does seem to work just fine with my AT&T SIM, I always have only 0-2 bars of signal and the phone always shows 4G/4G+ instead of LTE. Anyone else have this issue? I've been trying to do some digging to see if perhaps there is some setting that I need to adjust such as the APN used or something to get better signal strength. Thoughts?

First of all, 4G in the UK is the same as LTE in the United States, so no issue there.
Do not look at the bars as this can be manipulated by the programmers. To see how strong your signal really is you need to go to settings > about phone > status > SIM status. The lower the number the better. I am fairly certain that if you DO NOT use 4G you will get a stronger signal which may be perfectly fine unless you need a real fast signal. By not using 4G you will be using 3G. Hope this helps! :good:

Oh good. I was wondering about whether or not the UK actually called it LTE like we do here.
My average signal strength seems to be -119dbm 99asu pretty much regardless of where I am in my city. It just seems weird since my Huawei Mate 9 got consistently better signal than this in the same market, with the same SIM, supporting the same frequencies. Just makes me wonder if there's something I'm missing or if I should try getting a new SIM from AT&T.

I doubt that a new SIM will help anything. Those numbers are quite high. Too high in my opinion. If you do not stream videos or something that needs very fast LTE signals, then I would choose to not use 4G. You should get a much lower number (better signal) and everything will still work just fine.

Have you tried re-provisioning the phone? Maybe have it pull down the settings and reboot. I got mine from clove and am on AT&T as well... Pulled the sim out of my SGS6 and everything seems to have worked perfectly.
How are your speedtest results?

You mean having it download mms and Internet settings, then reboot? I've done that a couple times but I never rebooted after doing it. I did notice that in my APN settings, there are two for AT&T and I can't find an answer as to which one to use. One is called "phone" and the other is "nxtgenphone".
My download speeds aren't terrible but they aren't super amazing either. Last I checked it was 35mbps down and about 5mbps up. I'll try reprovisioning and restarting and see what happens. It just sucks not ever having more than 2 bars no matter where I am.
Edit: just tried downloading mms and Internet settings again but it didn't help. Maybe I should reset my network settings to default and try again just in case?

Mine is set to nxtgenphone. I really wouldn't focus on the bars. My z3 was also from the UK and did the same thing. You can check under the diagnostics settings screen to see what your data connection is or try doing the magic combo number to see what bands you're set to.
Is there anyone with a phone on the same carrier that would pull up their signal strength info so you can compare the actual numbers?

Maybe someone can give me some but others have told me that averaging -119dbm 95asu is a pretty weak signal.
Others have said I shouldn't need to change any settings in the hidden phone menu, but I set it to United States just to be safe. I didn't mess with any network settings in there aside from that.
Edit: checked radio band setting and set it to United States. Network preferred type is set to LTE/UMTS auto (PRL). Not sure if I need to change any of these settings or not.

Ouch, yeah... that is what my signal is like when I'm in the office and the repeater is down. I can't send/receive texts most of the time.

In your APN settings for nextgenphone, is the APN protocol set to IPv4/6 or just IPv4?

It's set to 4/6 but I don't have a v6 address assigned at the moment.

Whenever I test it in the hidden menu the IPv6 test always fails. Even AT&T's official documentation says not to use the IPv6 but I'm not sure what to believe since the downloaded settings have it enabled.
