Hi,
I can't seem to get lte reception on my skyrocket on the bell network. I am currently on the SKY ICS UCLC2 ROM.
Any Bell users have a modem choice that works better?
Thanks
You sure that u are in an lte area? Had to ask.
Try forcing late in a covered area. *#2263# and choose lte- lte all. I'm doing the same setup as you. Ics modem worked for me. Using a galaxy note radio right now. Its OK probably better with gingerbread.

I am having the same problem. I'm in Northern BC and I have tried a Bell Note mode, a T989 modem, and an i757 modem. The Bell Note one seems to get me to H+ more often and the T989 was the worst. When I went to visit family in southern Ontario, I still couldn't get LTE.
Before you say I can't get LTE here, my S3 gets LTE just fine and I have put in CM10.1 nightlies as my ROM. I also ensured that my network mode is LTE/GSM/WCDMA and I have a Bell 4G LTE sim card.
If anyone has had success with LTE, please let me know.
Thanks
I am on UCMC1
Works just fine here.
Mind You, I am on JB, not ICS

Thanks for the pointer to UCMC1 but still no dice yet. I'll take it around town today and see. I'm on 4.2.2 JB with CM10.1. I could always wipe and reinstall, but I don't know if it's worth it.
I'll post if I ever see the 4G icon.
Thanks

I was stalking the T-Mo SGSII forums when I saw this..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417095
According to that, their phone has an LTE radio... which means even the radios between our phones are the same..
I did some research, and I learned that our Skyrocket is a pentaband phone.
HSPA+: 850, 900, 1700, 1900, 2100.
And having 6 LTE bands....
This is probably the best radio made by Qualcomm... ever.
But I thought the Exynos chip could not support LTE? Only the Snapdragon..
Both phones have snapdragon processors.

Wait.. whaaa? This is the first I've heard of this, but doing a check on phonearena, it looks like it has supports the 1700 band. Has anyone tried this phone on T-Mo?
Lately, I've been thinking of selling the phone and going T-Mo b/c their plans are so cheap.

This is the info I got from phonearena. Most gsm bands are the same from the Tmobile sgs2 and the a&t skyrocket.does this mean if I unlocked my skyrocket I could use t mobile pre paid internet and voice plans.I currently have a AT&T 50$ unlimited pay as you go, but can't get Web (internet because it's a smartphone) has anyone tried using there skyrocket on Tmobile hspa+ network?

Yes, our T-Mobile Galaxy S II people are trying to see if we can activate the LTE radio on our device by flashing your modem.
If you are interested you can try flashing our modem to see if your phone can use AWS (1700) on T-Mobile / Mobilicity / Wind.
Our modem is here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11883-odin-tmo-sgsii-modem-collection-team-kang12142011/
Note that after flashing our modem your phone will lose LTE. After you are done testing you can flash back your own modem which is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1384865

Someone on the original thread was able to flash a T-Mobile radio and get Wind 3g signal (which is AWS) so looks like the radios are the same... anyone else want to try flashing a T-Mobile radio to see if T-Mobile 3g/4g (idk what they call it ) or Wind Home zone/Mobilicity 3G (non-roaming) works?
I've been following both threads and it sounds like Telus/TMobile radios does work on our LTE device? I'm travelling to Orlando later this month and would love to use their 3g data prepaid plan instead of 2g data.
It sounds like all I have to do is flash the Telus radio before I leave and I should be able to use Tmobile's 3g network? Then when I get back, flash it back to the Rogers radio so I get LTE back? Does that sound right? Thanks!

It is indeed amazing. Flashed juggernaught and the T-Mobile radio. Getting 4g with no issues.
Plus it even thinks my phone is the T-Mobile version. Wifi calling might even be supported!

I've been doing some research... the MDM9200 (modem in the Skyrocket) has LTE (Band 17 and Band 4, I also found a device with Band 13 but not sure if it's included in the SkyRocket) and it has HSPA+ Release 8, which means DC-HSPA. This means the by flashing a Telus/T-Mobile radio, you could theoretically get the same speeds that the SGH-T989(D) gets. I also found an MDM9200 device that states it has HSPA+ 850/900/1700/1900/2100 so that means that this modem can handle a LOT of bands, it just depends on which radio you flash.
Alright so I got my Skyrocket and flashed the latest T-Mobile Modem. AWS HSPA+ works perfectly fine, voice quality is actually much better than it was on my Hercules. I restored my setup from my Hercules and just changed the TDJ kernel to Da_G (waiting for them to make a kernel for the Skyrocket).
So that settles that once and for all. This phone has HSPA+ 850/1700/1900/2100 (and it's DC-HSPA so the max 42mbps is enabled if you flash a T-Mobile/Telus radio). It also has LTE 1700/700 with the 700 being band 17. I'm really hoping Wind gets the lower B or C block so I won't have to switch phones if/when they deploy LTE.
The Skyrocket has everything the Hercules has, with just MDM9200 over the MDM8200 in the Hercules. If you google online, the MDM9200 is like the MDM8200 just with LTE on top.
Once again, this phone is in fact amazing lol
Guess I should change my username if i could lol "SGS2LTE"

The first question is do you live in a lte coverage area? If not lte won't work and then if you do; well I haven't tried that rom but I'm sure if you search and look for a APN that has lte that will enable lte

He's wrong. It'll run on their H+ network, but that's all. However ATT's H+ mind you is very congested in a lot of places (NYC especially), but it will run.

Should be able to get hspa+ flash a at&t skyrocket radio fix your apn,

I have a Blaze running on NET10 using the AT&T sim card. I can achieve H+ with it, and from time to time it shows me 3G then goes to H+ real quick.
I am able to get (depending on where I am here in Central Indiana) 1-2Mbps with H+ and in other areas I get 12Mbps with H+. Here at the house I show H+ with 3 bars right now and get 1.75Mbps down and 0.42Mbps with a ping of 148ms to a speed test site just 16 miles up the road.
I do have to say it is much better then Tmobile here, I was lucky to get 0.17kbps either way on Edge.
I can tell you that it will help you if you go into your settings and select mobile networks then mobile operators and set yourself to AT&T Network only, let me know if this helps any, it did for me. It has kept me from trying to hit Tmobile towers since I am on NET10 which uses both tmobile and att.

Will i get both lte and 3g/hspa because i'm stuck at Edge but i know my area have good service. Because on my mom's iphone 3g it does have 3g signal it uses 1900 mhz
There messing with the 4g as I type this in warren/Detroit Michigan not yet strong enough to get a speed test. will update

Sure you can get LTE/HSPA+/HSPA/3G(UMTS)/EDGE with that depends on how strong the T-Mobile signal is at your location.
Yeah. I tried everything but no luck. My cousin had lte on his iPhone at my house. My s1 have 3g/h on it running 1900 mhz. I'm stuck on 2g or just no signal at all

Does it stay on the Network type when you change it? Is 'use only '2G networks' option enabled on your Mobile network settings?
Try to flash to another RADIO and flash back to UCMC1 on CWM. If it still doesn't work, flash to stock AT&T ROM and make sure you can get other than EDGE speed and then flash CM 10.1.
Good luck.
Thank you. I'll Do As you say Tommorow. Eariler when i flashed 10.1 on this phone i had 3g/hspa but after half day i got pushed back to edge. After that i never got 3g/hspa. I have to check the 2g Networks only if i don't my phone won't get any signal.

That explains why you get EDGE 2 because of that. I suggest you to diable 'use only '2G networks' option and to flash [RADIO][UXUMA7] For I727/I727R on CWM to see if can get HSPA+/3G first after that.

Yea, looks like CM 10.1 should be nearing a stable release soon so I'll root it then. I'm coming from a HTC Glacier since the devs decided to stop supporting it.
One thing's for sure though, LTE tends to burn through my battery. I hope it gets better once it's rooted.

I am running Embryo 6.11 (JB 4.1.2) ROM using T-Mobile's SIM, and was able to get LTE using both the UCMC1 and UXUMA7 radios. However, the phone defaults to EDGE when outside of the LTE area, instead of switching to HSPA+/HSPA 3G. Using *#*#4636#*#*, my network selector is set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM. I would have to manually set it to WCDMA only to pick up HSPA+/HSPA. Then when I toggle back to LTE/WCDMA/GSM, the radio picks up HSPA+/HSPA. Hope this helps!
