[Q] Data Speed and Service - Samsung Infuse 4G

So i just switched to the Serendipity VII rom for the infuse about a week ago. and every time I do speed tests I always get less that a megabyte for upload and download. I also only get about a bar or two when I'm in buildings or houses. However, if I'm in the open outside i get 3-4 bars. Also, I either have 'E' or '3G' labeled at the top for my data service. I rarely get 'H' (which I'm assuming is the subsitute for '4G' and 'H+" labels since I haven't seen them yet. I only saw the 4G label when I used the Infused Rom). So I'm not sure if i need a different modem or if I need to edit something. I've done this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250626) but it didn't seem to help. And sorry if this is in the wrong section or if I sound like an idiot or something. Thanks in advanced!
i'm on at&t and the modem i currently have is 1997UCKE3 (labeled as baseband) but also UNDER that is the kernel version and it says "2.6.35.7-1997RUXKG3-CL36662' and then more info about the kernel)

A couple of things first.... Did you reboot twice after tweaking your build.prop?
What general area are you located in?
Do you have the correct apn settings?

i rebooted once. i'll reboot again now. I live in South Jersey. In Camden County. and i'm 85% sure my apn settings are right. but just incase, what should they be?

Default I believe says AT&T 310 410.
If it doesn't say that I would hit the menu button then select "restore default apn".

Yo bro , how did the ROM flashing work out ?
I mean, I just got this phone too and I can't install any tweaks and mods on the custom ROM even though I am rooted and have CWM.
So I believe you just installed the ROM through CWM eh ?
Also are you using SGH-I727 ROM's or SGH-I777 ROM's ???
Thanks in Advance
personally i haven't flashed anything yet. Havent seen anything that makes me want to make the jump yet. thinking of Alien as I did have that on my atrix. but still having a good time with just stock.

i727r slim bean
Hey, I found this thread pretty helpful. I have a i727r with slim bean rom and I cant get the LTE logo to appear in the notification bar (it does however display 4g). I ended up downloading a network monitor widget and it displays the LTE logo. Does any one if theres a way to get slimbean to display it in the notification bar, or is this just how Slim bean works?
Also it seems to not be able to send mms text messages. I checked the apn settings again and theyre configured to whats pasted above. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Cheers

4G = LTE. Try downloading a Speed Testing app and you should get getting 10-30+mbps.

I figured 4g and LTE were the same thing. A friend of mine is running stock os and his says LTE so I figured I would ask.
Unfortunately Hspa+ (sp?) was popularized as 4G, but it's really 3G.5. LTE is "true" 4G. That said, "4G" will vary from Rom to Rom.
I'm on Rogers and its ics stock Rom labels hspa+ as 4G, and LTE as itself. Way back when I switched over to slimbean I was concerned at first, and then I noticed that it labels hspa+ as itself and LTE as 4g. Technically this is correct...so..good times!

I've done speed tests and was never sure what the readings should be, so thanks for this. I knew for my computer but not phone LOL :good:
Quick question, I noticed I wasn't getting LTE so I went into Phone, typed #*#*4646*#*# and set my radio to LTE only. It completely stopped. The radio was fully off, couldn't even text. When I set it to LTE/GSM/WCDMA it turns back on and HSPA+ starts working. Why is this?
I'm on Rogers. I should also add that so far no 4.2.2 ROMs have had working LTE for me.
For those of you who cannot get these settings to stick, try using exactly the info posted, BUT, put in 80 as your "Port". Not to be confused with "MMS Port:80", though you leave that the same also, should work. And the asterisk(*) should work better for "APN Type".
:good:

Possible fix to data connection issues

As with many skyrocket users, there seems to be trouble connecting to the AT&T data network for an extended time. the 4g icon indicates its connected but won't send or receive data unless packet data is disconnected and re enabled. After some hours of research and calls to customer service, I've found what could be a potential fix.
By dialing the ussd code ( *#*#4636#*#*) a menu comes up and gives you the options of
phone information
battery information
Usage statistics
And wifi information.
Under the phone information menu, an option for data network preferences appears at the bottom of the screen. By changing third setting, the connection issues should be solved...
however...
I can't seem to get any of the selections to stay. meaning, are I select my preference and exit, when I return to the screen its at its original setting. I believe it may change and stay if I rout which I haven't due to my phone being an AT&T company phone so if any rooted skyrockets would like to volunteer and test out my theory, we would all be greatly appreciated.

You are basically disabling the LTE radio (network) but it is temporary (for testing purposes). I think using a non-LTE APN will do the same thing and you can change it back when you are ready. Someone that knows more can correct me if I am wrong.
I used that method originally however I ran into the same issues. I was using the CINGULAR.WAP apn.
If anyone knows of another apn that I can test I would appreciate it

For apn name i put AT&T and for apn type I put just : Phone and left everything else blank and even input the mms setting found online for at&t and that's got me hspa data so far

yes you have to add the other APNs for this to work. If you only have the PTA APN, it will only lock onto LTE if in a LTE area.
Now if you are rooted and running a ROM where you can change the network within the normal options area, you have to set the APN first then change to H+. It may fail the first time but try it again and eventually it will downshift to H+.

AT&T Samsung Galaxy SII SGT-I727 data issues fixed ...
I broke my old HTC Inspire. I purchased a Samsung Galaxy SII SGH-I727 off of the eBay as a replacement.
When I moved the SIM card over everything was fine, except I had no data, even though I have a valid data plan. I still had wireless at home, but my data plan did not work when out on the street.
I called AT&T, told them the issue, and that I suspected that it had something to do with "LTE". They made some internal changes, which sounded like they activated LTE service for me. Data plan now working perfectly.

[Q] HTC One X - Force LTE connection?

I have ALWAYS had very poor AT&T service in my house, from my iphone 3g, iphone 4, iphone 4s....as soon as you pull in my neighborhood AT&T service just goes to ***
I got the One X however and realized I can pick up LTE here when the radio first turns on! I can put it on airplane mode, take it off...and I'll get LTE for about a minute. I get 10mbps down instead of the 1mbps when it's just on "4G"
However..this can barely make it through a SpeedTest as it's 1 or 2 bars of service...then it switches from 2 bar 4G LTE to the 3 or 4 bar "4G"
The phone is thinking I get better service with just the plain 4G so it forces me to connect to that....in reality it's a tonnnn slower and much worse.
Is there any APN setting or any root hacks to force the LTE connection? I get LTE pretty much everywhere in town (las vegas) but like I said my neighborhood doesn't seem to be on AT&T's maps!
If you go to your dialer and type in *#*#4636#*#* it will take to a screen where down a bit from the middle is the option "select network type" tap that and there is and "lte only" option. I have read that this works to force only hspa+ but can't confirm it for forcing lte. Give it a shot though.

I found the screen....Has a bunch of options with "LTE Only" being one of them...however...when I click on that option it flashes as being set to "LTE Only" for half a second and then reverts to the default option of "GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto"
Damn, thought you were on to something!

This does NOT work for forcing either HSPA or LTE. It always reverts back to auto. AT&T does not let you choose your network, period. We will not be able to choose the network unless and until we get the Rogers ROM working on the AT&T units (or until someone builds a custom ROM giving us the functionality of Rogers).

If you are rooted and have an unlocked bootloader, try a version of CleanRom or a stock rooted rom which is not an AT&T base. I have been able to lock my radio to LTE (only when not making calls that is) with CR V and I am on AT&T. The only thing is that when you make a call you get bumped to 3g/HSPA because AT&T doesn't do voice over LTE

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.

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.

^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.

[Q] XT1045 won't connect to LTE

I picked up an XT1045 (Moto G LTE USA) recently from Amazon and had T-Mobile ship me a new micro-SIM, then called them to activate it. I know there are LTE towers around (had customer support tell me as much) but I never see "LTE" in the status bar, always "H" or "H+". Granted, download speeds in San Jose on HSPA+ are pretty fast, but I am wondering if I'm missing something fairly obvious. I have the default LTE APN selected.
I did unlock the phone using the Motorola site and rooted it. Could this interfere with LTE operation somehow ?

Which APN are you using. You should be on fast.tmobile.com
I have the similar setup (xt1045,unlocked bootloader, rooter, stock 4.4.3 and stock kernel) and don't have any issues. It did take a few hours after first boot. I am in a refarmed area however. Mine defaulted to the lte/fast apn.
a few things:
- tmobo indoors isn't great in all places, so try outside
- if you're on wifi, they downgrade to hspa/3g to save battery, you may not see lte until you get off wifi
- you may be over your monthly 4g cap
to be honest, their hspa+ speeds are same as lte out here anyways

Even if you are over your monthly cap, you still connect to LTE. It just lowers your speeds.
Thanks all for the info. I'm using the T-Mobile APN that came with the phone (fast.t-mobile.com), wifi off, have tried indoors/outdoors.
I'm pretty sure I'm not over my data cap -- my previous phone was a Nexus S and my data usage habits haven't really changed yet
It is a much snappier phone and the HSPA+ and wifi and GPS really are much nicer. I like having the microSD slot too. So I can't really complain too much.

Never saw 'Phone information' come up. I'm assuming this would be the same as changing 'bearer' in the APN setting to 'LTE' instead of unspecified (tried that already, it just seems to get no data at all then) ?

Never saw 'Phone information' come up. I'm assuming this would be the same as changing 'bearer' in the APN setting to 'LTE' instead of unspecified (tried that already, it just seems to get no data at all then) ?
Have not had airplane mode on for these tests.

So when you dial *#*#4636*#*# , what is the first menu on the top?
It's not the same, cos if you set it there, it allows of 3G connections if no LTE available (dunno if you force it from Settings -> More.. -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode -> LTE ).
The Airoplane mode is just to "relog" to the carrier network , you just cycle through it On->Off

The last four characters were #*#* in your first reply, and that didn't seem to have any effect at all. When I tried the sequence above and pressed dial, it first said 'USSD code running' and then 'Connection problem or invalid MMI code'.

The correct combination is *#*#4636#*#* and you dont have to press dial after that, the menu should pop-up right after you press the last character.This is not model specific either, it works on all android versions/roms.

Apparently doesn't work on this phone. It's ok, google led me to a couple of apps which appear to do something similar. Thanks for the insight !
Finally got the "LTE" indicator while outside eating lunch near work today. I was amazed that the speedtest.net app reported ~30Mbps down / 20 up. Didn't have to mess with the default T-mobile LTE APN. I guess T-mobile's coverage is just kind of spotty, but maybe the nearby tower was just upgraded or something like that
