Yeah this is a possible problem. The back has connectors for the antenna, and not having it properly secured could cause connectivity issues. Also a bad SIM card is something to check as well.
Try the OTA MR2 radio. It's working great for me. The newly leaked GB radio from chingy gave me some odd wifi issues.
On a side note, if you work in a place with stainless steel walls, you won't get 4G

What rom are you using

Are you getting 3g? If you are getting 3g and just not getting 4g try checking to see if you are on CDMA/ EvDo auto and if you are change it to either CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto or LTE only

Are our captivated getting 4g speeds (not Lte)

So I am on cm7 and it says h in the too corned and sometimes 3g. On stock it only says 3g. Does that mean on certain roms you get 4g speeds and on others you don't?

No. The captivate won't ever be able to use 4g. The hspa network is pretty much the same as 3G.

Technicaly the 4g speeds are that hspa thing I thought. Isn't Lte something different?

No. They are different. Imagine that hspa+ is faster than 3G but not 4g so it's more like 3.5g. It is faster than regular 3G but your phone still doesn't have the hardware for the 4g network.
Read about the networks here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Speed_Packet_Access

AT&T is calling their 4G, 4G, but technically there is NOTHING running 4G. For AT&T, 3G is capable of HSDPA(Download). 4G is the addition of HSUPA(Upload).
For our Captivates, specifically custom ROM's. Captivate based ROM's do NOT have HSUPA. i9000 based ROM's DO have HSUPA.
To answer your question, CM7 is a i9000 ROM and is running "4G"
And yes, LTE is something completely different

thanks kang for not making me say all that.

Thanks to both of you for clearing things up haha. I really appreciate it.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App

The AT&T roms don't make any distinction between HSDPA (which shows as "H" on CM7) and UMTS (which shows as "3G"). So on an AT&T ROM you will only see "3G". Both are 3G as far as AT&T is concerned.

The new "official" Gingerbread leaks for the Captivate all say H+ in the corner instead of 3G as well... But the speed is the same.

I think only KI1 shows that. The ones released after it show regular3G.

That's not true. The new leaks still say H+

I don't care for at&t's false advertising there fake 4g. On my HTC Inspire, the stock Rom will only say H+, E, and i think I've seen G. No 3g . Its say H+ regardless. Even If your on a 3g signal.

Rule 51-Sometimes I am wrong (I said "I think").
Been wanting that H+ symbol just to mess with the iPhanatics.

Galaxy S2 Skyrocket i727R crappy connection on mobilicity

hello
I set up my unlocked i727r to work with mobilicity, however, it has very crappy reception. I tried the t989 KID modem, the vk1, the telus kj3, and the blaze modems. They all give me weak signal (anywhere between 0-2 bars with mobilicity), whereas my galaxy nexus has 3 bars. It tends to lose connection when I go inside a supermarket, and sometimes disconnects from the network and doesnt want to reconnect. I have the gingerbread, and I want to keep it. So, is anyone using this phone with mobilicity and getting a good signal strength? Do you mind sharing with me what you did?
thanks

Bars aren't really a good indication of signal.

yea what i meant to say is that its very unstable, it would take a long time to dial a number, it has crappy reception, etc. Right now my phone is connected to the mobilicity network, but under mobile network state in status, it says disconnected. What could be the cause of that?

I'm more or less in the same boat... in particular upload rate is horrible ~40kbps.
OP: any progress in your experience with mobilicity and in your search of a suitable modem?

It's the network not the phone. I was with them & got the same results with a Lumia 710 & the 727r. I tried all the different modems & the best is the Blaze 4G IMO.

Did you guys also have to change your kernels to get it to work?
I have tried the usual 4 radios combined with SKYICS and also with the stock OS (latest Rogers version) without much success.
I get some signal but as soon as I try to call the phone would hang on me (it would dial out incidentally).
Thanks a lot

Nope didn't have to do anything other then flash the recovery, to allow me to flash the radios from zip files. The Rom and kernel were stock GB or ICS. I did go into *#2263# and set WCDMA option from all to 1700, & the mobile network option from automatic to manual selecting Mobilicity or its network ID #.

Actually a couple of weeks ago I flashed the t989 juggernaut rom, with the faux kernel and vkl1 radio and its somewhat better.

LTE not working for me. (90% SOLVED)

Update: 4/13
I was just able to figure it out and for the most part. The basic problem is that my network mode was stuck on GSM/WCDMA. Here is the solution:
1. go to settings/more.../mobile networks/network operators.
2. Once you click network operators, it should start searching automatically. If nothing comes up, then hit "search networks". FYI, sometimes, it decides to act wonky, so you'll have to exit out and come back in to get it to work. Eventually, it'll show you carriers in the area. Being an AT&T customer in Philadelphia. I saw three results. The first two were AT&T. The last one was T-Mobile. I don't think there is a difference in the AT&T options, but I just clicked the first one.
3. Once that's finished. Go back to the "mobile networks" menu and click on "network mode" and change your preferred network mode to LTE/GSM/CDMA.
4. The last step is change your APN. In the "mobile networks" menu, click on Access Point Names. Click on ATT LTE pta. Scroll to the bottom and click on APN Type. Change that to default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hip. Then hit okay. Hit File and Save. Then just select the circle next to ATT LTE pta. To be honest, just selecting ATT LTE PTA might be all that's necessary. You might not have to edit it.
Now, here's the catch. All of this stuff resets (with the exception of the edited APN) when you restart your phone. But it does work everytime.[/COLOR]
So, I just got the skyrocket (AT&T in Philadelphia) and have the 03-24 nightly on it. But for some reason, I can't get LTE to turn on. I've played with the different APN's. I've flashed the at&t radio on Chopstick's webpage, but no dice. I'm only getting H+.
I even called AT&T to make sure my data plan was LTE provisioned.
The only thing I can think of is that the ROM currently cannot change preferred network mode and mine is stuck on GSM/WCDMA preferred?
Please help.

How old is your SIM card?
When I got my Skyrocket, all network modes except LTE worked.
It ended up being an older version of a sim card that didn't support LTE.
Swapped out for a new one...no issues since.

I doubt that's the problem. I actually flashed back to Stock this morning and LTE worked great. I had speeds around 35mbps. However when I restored the backup of the CM10.1 rom, same issue. Only gettings H+ and speeds around 2mpbs.
THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!!!! I don't get it. Am I really the only person with CM10.1 not getting LTE? It doesn't make any sense.

Would you kindly answer these questions so that I may ascertain whatever is it I'm doing wrong?
1. Are you using an AT&T Skyrocket? or is one from Rogers/others?
2. Are you using the official CM10.1? Which build?
3. What your baseband version?
4. What APN are you using?
5. In the mobile network settings/preferred network mode dialog in settings, what option is checked?
The only thing I can think of is that the preferred network mode for me is stuck on GSM/WCDMA preferred?

And just to confirm, you are getting LTE with the 4G Signal notifier, correct?

[Q] Blaze does not get 4G after mod

I have not been able to connect with 4g since I modded Blaze.
I have used many ROMs and settings, searched for weeks to find answer to activate 4g, no joy.
4g works perfectly with stock Rom. My wife has identical phone that easily and automatically picks up 4g sitting next to me while my modded phone only gets 3G or occasionally H+. We have swapped SIMs to confirm SIM and hardware are functional as well as signal reception.
I have uploaded and reloaded many different mods: stable, nightly, paranoid, Pac man, etc.- Same result, everything works pretty well except never 4G
All installs were clean and fresh.
I have seen this question in this forum and other, but no replies/ solution.
Anyone have an answer why the 4G does not work on my modded Blaze?

H+ is 4g it's just displayed differently. Nothing is wrong with your phone.

I suspected, but could not confirm that H+ and 4g were the same, Thank you
P.S. Speeds on H+ with 4 bars are ping 1048ms, 9.19 Mbps Down and 1.87 Mbps down. Isn't 4G faster?

Our phones do not have true 4g. The stock ROM shows 4g more as a marketing gimmick. I'm my experience with the blaze 3g has better ping times while 4g or whatever you want to call it has better speeds. Of course it all depends on location
