Ive been helping my buddy with his SGS2 skyrocket on T mobile service .. I was looking for some tips on apn and data speeds .. So im guessing they should get the same speed as a t mobile SGS2 sitting next to it or id like to think so .. but doing a test with 2 buddies phone on the same service with a t mobile sgs2 and the sgs2 i727 . the speed is different by a bit the i727 was getting 5 to 7 megs a sec and the tmo sgs2 was at like 14 megs a sec ??? So The sgs 2 says its getting at&t 4G witch I know is bull .. im running the isc leak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569798 ) but the speed is about the same on the GB ROM when we first unlocked it ...and ive got the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572198 radios in it ....so i get edge when im at my house but my buddy on his 3g at&t iPhone gets it right next to me .. also when im on 4 G im not really getting 4 g speeds ....I think i must be missing some setting apn is wrong or something .. ive tried searching the subject but i get over whelmed not knowing much about radios.. Ive been thinking about going to t mobile also and getting a t mobile sgs2 or the i727 because of the lte radio .. so if anyone can enlighten me on something im missing ...thanks a lot
Have a kind of the same issue I haven't tried my t mobile sim on i c s yet gonna try now...I think if you flash a t 989 radio t mobile kernel and t mobile rom I cant see what else is left for it not think it is a t mobile phone..... As long as you can switch network providers and bands
Keep me posted if you come up with a solution I'll do the same....

will do ive been busy it has a tmo radio on it .. its my friends phone ...ill see if hes available tomorrow and ill give it a whirl ,, how did it go for you??
Any T-Mobile (t989) rom with telus radio (kj3) and Skyrocket kernel (faux 010m, dag 0.43pre2) has been a known working combo.
I am on Juggernaut 5.0, Faux123 Skyrocket Kernal, and UVKL1 radio. Everything works...but I keep on getting back and forth with 3g and 4g. And its not fast speeds either. Im pretty bummed that I cant get this Skyrocket working on Tmobile at 100%. This phone rocks!
do any of you guys have issues with wifi hotspot feature? Mine keeps erroring out.
I am on Juggernaut, faux with VK1
Mine works great..but I'm on 5g data...which I blew threw in less than a week ..again...now I've got clear internet..4g is super fast..no cap ..and no throttle...living life...

Just to clarify, are you using an ATT sim card on the T-Mobile network?
I tried installing the T-Mobile VK1 and Kid radios on my ATT Skyrocket, clearing regular and delvik cache. It just doesn't give data service. When clicking on Mobile Networks under settings, it says Insert SIM card.
Running Sky-ICS RC7.4 Stock. The baseband says T898UVKID right now, which is as I would expect since my last attempt was the Kid radio. I tried posting this in the radio thread in the development section, but I don't have enough posts.
Just for additional info, I am an ATT subscriber, and when I flash back to UCLA radio, all is fine. Maybe I don't understand the purpose of flashing a t989 radio. My reception sucks, and I wanted to pull off the T-Mobile tower instead of att, is this wrong method or am I just being ignorant? Voice worked fine with the vk1 and Kid radio's, just no data?? BTW, I have to use wap.cingular for my apn, so I was thinking that maybe part of it.

I have ICS-SUPERLITE-4.2 on Rogers and i totally lost LTE. I wrote in many existing threads and dev section and no one answered.
I lost LTE, even in areas of full reception, i dont have it, i used stock APN and LTE APN and still dont get it. I do get 4G.
Other on rogers running 4.2 have lte, just less reception so im guessing radio is not the problem. Any idea?
mhx did say he broke lte in 4.1 so maybe you got something from that. im flashing now and ill see how it goies
well im on 4.2 so its supposed to be fixed
I was having lte issues on 4.2 aswell

LTE works fine. Just make sure it says ltemobile.apn instead of rogers-core. If it still doesnt work then go int the phones menu *#2263# and select option 4. After that go back into the menu again and select 1 for automatic.

I've had to use the *#2263# option to get LTE on every ICS ROM I have tried so far, works great but sometimes I have had to redo it after the 2nd and 3rd reboot for it to take...
Another solution is after you flash an ICS ROM is to have patience , if you wait 5 minutes or so after flashing, before even touching\unlocking the screen, then most of the time everything settles in nicely on its own.
if ur using rogers with the ics leaks, there's several issues. Call id and lack of lte being one of them. This issue is present with all of them, it is an unstable leal after all. i believe lack of lte unless near a strong connection is due to uclca4 issues.
well after doing what i wrote 2 posts above, i have no issues with phone except for reboot/power off hang, i also get the occasional 2-3 second lag but its quite rare. Besides, im very haapy with rom, battery life is much better than GB
no lte after ics leak
I've the same issue with AT&T in Miami which has a strong LTE network. LTE worked great with GB. After installing the ICS leak all I get is HSPA:11. When I go into *#2263# it says RAT Selection option is restricted. Anyone have a solution?

Probably don't have the correct apn. apn needs to be set to pta in order to get lte.

Ditto - well actually I AM seeing LTE, but a drastically reduced data rates. Does not seem to matter what ROM, or Kernel or how many times I have re-flashed or re-flashed just the ICS Radio, I get roughly HALF of what I was seeing on GB. Ugh. I don't WANNA go back to Gingerbread. I just want perfection. Is that too much to ask for?

It's not the APN, at least in my case. It just crappy reception, and it happened exactly when I flashed ICS, and has been like that ever since. This in spite of re-flashing the Olin leak, reflashing the the radio, etc. It really irks me, and I do NOT want to go back to GB

reflash the radio then you should be ok.

RAT Selection option is restricted
Just flashed SeanZ ICS 4.2A-7 ROM and i727UCAL4 modem. I'm still getting "RAT Selection option is restricted". There is nothing else on that screen. This has been 3 different radios now and I cannot get a screen that allows me to select the radio band.
Would flashing a different kernel work? Any other ideas?
Hi all.
I just finished picking up my sgs2lte. Really excited about it. I just finished rooting it and now I would like to install an ICS 4.0.4 rom.
My specs are:
SGH-I727R
Android 2.3.5
Baseband I727RUXKJ7
Kernel 2.6.35.11
Build GB.RUXKJ7
I am hoping someone can assist me with this.
What is the best baseband for rogers?
What is the biggest sdcard that I can buy for it? I heard that this device can now accept 64 class10 sdcards, is this true?
Thanks all,
Heeter
I don't think it matters much.
UCLE2 is the recommended modem for most ROMs (Most ROMS will state which modem is recommended), especially the AOSP based ones like CM9 or AOKP. For the most part they seem to be interchangeable.
I have used the UCLE2 and UCLF3 baseband modems with no issues (I believe UCLF3 is the RAT unlocked rogers modem..).
Right now I am using the latest AT&T modem UCLF5, with CyanogenMod 9 (7/02/2012 nightly) and it seems to work just fine.
Are you able to get 4G with your setup?
Thanks for your response, Rabidsmurf
Heeter
Yes, although the phone is somewhat misleading, at least in CM9
The icon will show 3G until in use when it switches to H, I assume this is for power savings or something. Download the speedtest.net app to confirm. On 4G i get around 8Mb/s down and 2.5 Mb/s up.
Additionaly what Rogers calls 4G is HSPA+, if you go to About Phone > Status under mobile network type it should say HSPAP:15 (That is HSPA+ 4G on rogers), conversely 3G is UMTS:3. My phone flips between the two as I mentioned when not in use or in use, could be a ROM specific thing.

Well, mine was saying 4G before the rooting with the factory settings,
But it says UMTS:3 on there now.
I will install CM9, maybe that will make the difference, I just installed the ATT UCLF5 radio, still 3G
Heeter
What ROM are you using?
If it's SKY ICS, in my experience it will always say 4G no matter what (Unless it's LTE maybe).
If you see UMTS:3 try to open an APP that has constant network demands, it might switch while you're looking at it in the status to HSPAP:15, sometimes it's tough to catch it as the phone seems to go idle as soon you go into the menus
I am also in Edmonton by the way.
Hi Rabidsmurf
Was mistakingly on the Chimera rom, but I just reformatted everything and now is using this SKY ICS 4.2F6 with the UXCLF3 radio, now I am getting the 4G signal
Thanks sooo much for helping me out.
Right on, cool, fellow Edmonton dude.
Heeter
No problem.
I was also going to suggest reviewing your APN settings if all else failed. Found a typo earlier with the APN that comes with CM9 rom (caused MMS to not work), guess that's why it's still an Alpha.

I chose this radio because T989 users were saying they got better signal on this than even on Blaze radios. Or something like that. I'd link it but I spent like 7 hours fighting with it, way past my normal bed time, so I hardly remember anything. Here is a screenshot of my phone running the radio to prove it isn't a brick-maker. I also do not know if this supports 3G/4G, because as you can see my tower is EDGE :/

I'm gonna test it here in Vegas as soon it's done charging and nandroid backup. Hopefully, you get 3g/faux-g soon.
Yep can confirm that this radio works with faux-g here in Vegas. It's a little slow right now in the part of town where I'm living but workable. To the OP, radios are important for the type of ROM you want to be using. For example, a GB ROM depends on a GB radio and the same goes for ICS/JB ROMS.

I'd be content with reliable 2G. According to mapping apps there is a whole 1 tower here, 2G, and barely usable. Many times it will show 1 bar and still say 'Emergency Calls Only' >.>
I flashed a T989 ROM to enable Wifi Calling, but I need a new SIM card from T-Mobile (a 'GBA SIM'). It took a while with a bunch of phone tag across T-Mo departments, but I think I finally have a 'GBA SIM' coming at the cost of $0.99. Will report.

My phone reports that the mobile network type is "EDGE:2". I've assumed that this means I am not in a 3G area. The T-Mo coverage map shows the majority of my area as 2G. There is one small light green spot (assumingly 3g?) over my house, but I think this is just an error on the map. Therefore I am unable to properly test for 3G/4G connectivity.
I've also asked T-Mo if there was any plans to upgrade our tower to 3G, and unlike AT&T who would quickly counter with "but we have 3G in your area!", T-Mo sent me to some activist page to start a local rally to convince local officials to upgrade coverage. I guess this is their way of admitting it is, in fact, a 2g tower.
I've also changed my radio back to T989. I'm not sure if it was a radio issue or what but it seems after a few hours the phone would lose service completely. I'm still testing stuff.

What is the average signal strength that you usually get? Also , if I read correctly, you are now using the stock t989 radio on the skyrocket? Which would mean GB?

this radio (UVLH1, 4.0.4 ICS latest T989 radio) is also doing the same thing as the note radio. After a while (3-5 hours) the status bar will show service (2-3 bars, even fluctuate) but the system is "Searching" and calls and txts are missed. Need a stable radio...
edit 2: I guess technically I could just ust the original AT&T radio since I only get 2G here anyway, and T-Mobile is re-farming so 3G will eventually work on 1900mhz., the 1700/2100 is going to LTE like it should, thus our skyrockets on AT&T radio should technically be able to get T-Mobile 4G LTE when its available
edit 3: rogers (I727TR) radio probably better than AT&T for the sake of rat unlocked
edit 4: removed edit 1, just gonna use I727R UCLD2
OK. Sorry that the radios didn't really work out. I do encounter some network disconnects here but not a total dealbreaker. I guess we'll have to wait for T-Mobile. On a sidenote, I am finding I have better coverage with this radio.

I do like T-Mobile but I will watch from StraightTalk (AT&T Sim) and try again when they grow some more here. I need mobile data to work. I wouldn't mind 30kB/s but I only accomplished that once. Heck I'd even take 5kB/s if it didn't take over 2 minutes to establish one connection. I can't even use MMS most the time because it seems to require 4+ (-90) bars of service before EDGE will even establish a connection.
Edit: Got my 'GBA SIM' today for Wifi Calling. Works great on this ROM combo. I just wish I had mobile internet. I may do some tests as I am secretly hoping this GBA SIM has 3G/4G and maybe my old SIM was a 2G sim.
For archival reference in case I go back to AT&T ROMs, and my sig changes, Wifi calling for T-Mobile works on our Skyrockets using Faux123 ICS T989 Kernel for I727 MOD v001 and SGH-T989 UVLE1 Infamous Resurrection ROM

That's what I did for my wife and using a Flashed Skyrocket on T-Moile 4G has been flaky at best.
Recently I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket from AT&T, along with a Net10 SIM card. Everything works, but the data is unreliable. At home (10 miles from Harrisburg, PA), I have a five bar signal, but the internet works on and off. Even when I have the 4G icon on my phone, the internet does not always load. I have (best) coverage in my area, too. I have searched forums, and contacted customer support, and did not find any useful help. I have tried several APN configurations, and my modem ICS is the latest as far as I know (UCLI3), unless if I have a leaked version. Should I downgrade my ICS, upgrade to the leaked ICS, or root my phone? Is there anything I can do?

I have a Samung Galaxy Proclaim from Net10 that gets up to 3 Mbps on 3G in my area, which is enough for me. It's pretty annoying when I look at my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, and it's not loading or lagging at 200kbps.

I downgraded to the uclf6 modem, which sped up the data connection by a little, but not much. I'll try downgrading even more.
I have tried the two new leaks for the ICS modem, which were UCLK4 and UCLL3. Both modem versions were unstable. What I will stick to is the Telus SGH-T989D modem update, which had proven to be the most stable and beneficent results. Thank you for all of your help!
