PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU

Did you check the apn settings
Never mind just noticed that you tried the fido apn

is it showing a signal? if so the radio is installed fine

yes, i have phone network but no data network. am i doing something wrong? i tried all modems UCLE2, UCALC4, on these it's says that i can't use data roaming outside US even though i have roaming on my fido plan and im in canada....

be sure its checked in your mobile settings. use data roaming

it's on. i flashed the rom ics4.2f -2 + ruxlf3 radio at least 3 times. it's killing me, should i reformat the internal sdcard? and i have the correct apn settings i got them from fido and from my previous version of ics4.0.4 from rogers when it was working

Do you have the network mode set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM?

Just for ****z and giggles have you tried restoring to default apn?

redownload the radio and maybe even the rom or do a checksum on them, (bad download of radio most likely the problem, did u initially flash the radio when u did the rom)
u can flash the stock rogers ics firmware from sammobile to c if u get data, read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398
if u do get data just follow seans op but dont flash the radio, wiping/formatting does not wipe the radio
fido has no lte, no 4g. what band where u getting when it was working
what apn is fido telling u to use
make sure fido resets ur internet, tech support does that, not customer service reps
edit: just read what u posted after, " i tried all modems UCLE2, UCALC4, on these it's says that i can't use data roaming outside US even though i have roaming on my fido plan and im in canada...."
thats ur best clue, where or how does this message pop up, r u sure u flashed rogers version and not the att version
if stock ics worked, u must of mucked something up, wrong version flashed or bad download of rom

i am also using a rogers i727r with fido and had the same problem initally.
signal showed strength but no data.
you have to setup the APN. once i had the correct fido apn, i was able to get 4G-LTE no problem.
search google for "fido android apn" ..there's an actual fido page that shows you how to setup a droid with the fido apn settings.
i can confirm UCLE2 and RUXLF3 radio's work 100%. i didn't try the others but from what i've read, they all work.

u actually got lte from fido, damn i could of stayed w/them, i really really hate rogers
did u do any speed tests to confirm, and which apn did u use
so nibnion, did any of this work for u
edit: just got a pm from nibnion saying he reslved his problem, the error was he was given wrong apn from fido, hes is now using the fido-core-appl1.apn but doesnt not get lte, gets 4g but only 2mbps
from what ive read u need a lte sim card and an lte apn to get lte, rogers is ltemobile.apn, without that ur not going to get lte, and of course b in a lte area

I think it 4G. The icon at the top of my screen says 4G and my phone was automatically setup with a Fido LTE apn. I had to manually add the regular one. Strange.
I'll do a speed test and confirm.

the reason i doubt u can get lte from fido is they dont even offer any phones that r lte, so they wouldnt even support u if u couldnt get lte

Sadly youre right. Its only 3Mb download. So sad now.

i feel for u

i got it guys, you have to manually set up APN, the problem is that you need to have 2 APN's. very strange, when i had the ICS 4.0.4 stock from kies a few days ago i saved the APN info and used them on SKY ICE 4,2F and it didn't work, i had to manually do different settings. you would think that they should work from 4.0.4 to 4.2F.... strange...
finally they let me post now...
vincom what's the difference between
SKY ICS 4.2F R1 (ROGERS) (STOCK EMAIL)
SKY ICS 4.2F R1 (ROGERS) (GOOGLE EMAIL)
im not aware of a stock email? am i wrong?

Stock email i beleive is more geared towards exchange and corporate mail. Google is gmail.

[Q] I727 Rooted Apps Stopping

Hi all,
I have a Skyrocket which I rooted, unlocked, loaded NexusMod ICS 2 Zero and Blaze 4G radio. It's been a rocky road, but at least the phone is working -- sort of. WiFi does not work and rooted apps stop. I've wiped both caches and re-installed the ROM and SuperUser and still no joy. Baseband version also says "Unknown".
I'm stuck. Any thoughts or suggestions?
TIA,
Bob
That's because you have a TMobile radio on a skyrocket with the ril in the radio

Well, yup, T-Mobile is my new carrier and voice and data work fine. It's just the rooted apps like Titanium Backup and Root Explorer that don't work. Sorry, I've seen the term "ril", but I don't know what it means.
So, what radio would you suggest I use that will be optimal for T-Mobile and NexusMod ICS?
Thanks,
Bob

Installing CM9 on skyrocket will allow to choose 2G/3G network?

I have brought an unlocked version skyrocket from at&t. Since I stay in India, we don't have a 4G and it's shame to say not even full 3G coverage here as of yet.
My question is when I move into 3G coverage area I see 4G instead of 3G and I feel battery drains quite fast during data usage under 3G (or 4G for phone). So I heard in Roger version of skyrocket and some custom roms allow switching off 4G completely ( 4G/LTE/HSPA+). So does cyanogenmod 9 allow such feature to disable 4G connectivity which is not there on at&t rom? Anybody who has already flashed CM9 on at&t skyrocket can reply so I can root this device and go for CM9 or other stable that allows such feature.
Thanks.

Where in India..? How did u manage to get carrier signals... I struggled a lot to get the signals, I had to flash stock ics uclf6.. may b d radio in it was the thing did it...
Into the topic,.. yes u can switch 2g/3g... you don't need to root ur phone... u can flash a recovèry using Odin.. then flash the custom rom... u get root if the rom is pre rooted... if not u can flash su... I'm using sky ics now but I'm unable to switch network mode.. people say it might b radio prob..
Pls post back if u succeed with cm9..
Thank u..

Yes, CM9 allows it. I'm on TeamChopsticks' CM9 and the option to switch is available in the Wireless and Networks setting.
However, do understand that you need a RAT unlocked radio. That's actually what allows you to switch to 2G on the skyrocket -- having a RAT unlocked radio. You can find a list of radios in this thread.
Hi!
That's what I was about to say: if I understood correctly what I read, having a ROM that allows you to choose between network modes (LTE/HSPA/GSM) is not sufficient. Your radio should also be unlocked -- like Rogers' radio. Changing the settings in your ROM when you use a locked radio -- like AT&T's radio -- would have no effect.
I've tried using this feature in CM9 and it doesn't seem to work. It was noted on their list of problems but I don't know if it was ever resolved. I have an unlocked RAT and I still can't get it to work right. Somewhat annoying because during the day I'd like to have it to save battery, but basically I gave up on trying to get it to work.

Sorry that doesn't seem to work. That may only work in Touchwiz based OSes, but in CM9 it's not doing anything.
Reported this belongs in q&a or the developers thread itself not in the general section.

So does it work in Sky-ICS? Im on AT&T so if I am going to install the rom for the first time what radio would I use?
Yes, I have rooted my new skyrocket with cwm touch recovery and flashed CM9 Stable version and it seems to working perfectly for me. .
Let me know if you face any problem and if you are from India. Will try to help if I could :beer:

I know it works on my ROM (EMBRYO) always had this feature since I travel to India it works perfect. You need to be SIM unlocked and a RAT unlocked RADIO (like any Rogers RADIO NOT ATT)..

You mean I need to unlock my phone in order to get this to work? I didn't have to fully unlock my Nexus 1 to do it. Is it different with the Skyrocket?
No you have to use a rogers radio rat unlocked isn't the same as unlocking the phone

That's what I figured but I have an unlocked RAT (I727RUXLF3) on AT&T and I still can't get it to switch to 2G on CM 9.1..

Huh? I guess I must have worded it differently. You need to be SIM Unlocked AND have a RAT Unlocked radio, to change the preferred network mode (at least on I727)...sigh..

Ok I am now SIM unlocked and Rat Unlocked and it STILL won't toggle over. Any Ideas?
odin to rogers stock flash rogers stock ics modem first. Then root and install cm9.
If that doesn;t work try the same process just use rogers gb
the att modem does strange things with network selection. It works for me when I dont use automatic network selection

I tried doing the ODIN with the Rogers ROM and it kept failing. I had to then install a custom recovery and then flash CM9.1 and it still didn't work. Before trying this I tried another ROM (Embryo) to see if that could toggle and it couldn't either. :crying:

Hey Omario. Did you're other rom says 4g? I was a little dissapointed to find out that doesn't mean jack cause att lies about 4g. It really isn't lte.

Hit the coverage button to make sure you have it in your area?
If you do? Maybe try the lte switch app in the playstore, and mess with the APN a little more.

@grim yes I always do clean wipes
@suburadroid(or however u spell it) I know that they lie I actually enjoy seeing my signal up....but even with this I have every thing set... It just acts like I have no mobile network anymore I had to call att and have them activate lte last time this happened but that was right when I got the phone
Update : I guess for twenty mins my phone wanted to act up than start being normal again..... Thanks for the responses though!

[Q] JB Radios t-mobile / rogers

Good day people
Im a newb when it comes to radios...
i have rooted / unlocked and installed the cyanogen superlite JB Rom
which i love
Now i'm in canada and traveling to the states in about 2 weeks and i have a prepaid sim cad but its not activated
i have traveled to the states before and used the t-mobile pay by the day plan but could never get any better than 2g connectivity because i have the stock rogers radio...
after doing some reading i have learned that i need to flash another radio... i have flashed different roms etc so i know i can do it...
but im unsure of a few things.
is there a radio that is universal? which will give me 4g / lte on rogers and t-mobile so i dont have to flash when i get off the plane?
if not what are some radios that will work with JB and give me 4G connectivity with T-mobile?
also what radio would i want to revert back to stock rogers / att radio?
i know everyone one says try different ones but im in a different country so i would like to have everything ready to go as soon as i land...
Thanks
Rom...
I am not sure about that specific Rom, but I know with the Official Team Chopsticks version - they list UVLE1 as the radio.
I know that some Roms have modified radios/kernels so check with the Rom Dev for which one he recommends as he knows what he has baked into the rom...
If you are really scared about it, download several and have them handy on your SD card and when you get here you can simple try several and see if one yields better connection speeds for you.
As far as reverting for ATT/Rogers I believe UCLI3 is the latest but might not be the best for your area... UCLF6 was our previous radio and I get good results with both..
Just make sure you make a GOOD nandroid backup and try them all....
Good luck!
tmo uses a different frequency than rogers/att, so the tmo compatible radio has to be flashed, to my knowledge noone modified a rogers/att radio to work with tmo's 3g 4g, im not sure they have lte, theres a few threads on which tmo radio works well with the skyrocket, and remember to add the tmo's apn. need ics radios to work with jb roms. read the links below

I am also in Canada, have had great luck using the T-Mobile card, but unfortunately not with getting my speed up. I did try downloading several different radios and flashing them while in the US.
Unfortunately it went from 2g data to no data or reception whatsoever. So I restored to my nandroid backup and continued on with 2g.
Just wondered though, did you say ics radios are compatible with jellybean? I've been wanting to make the jump to jellybean on Rogers, but wasn't sure if I'd lose my Lte speeds. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

[Q] AT&T SGH-i727 For Solavei HELP

I recently got rid of my AT&T service for Solavei which uses the T-Mobile network. I have unlocked and rooted the phone, I have the stock ATT ROM right now. I have tried changing the Radios to Blaze 4G LB7 ICS and Telus SGH-T989D TLLE4. No luck even after changing frequencies in *#2263#. I have gotten 2 bars on 4G but cannot make calls . Any ideas? Do I need to flash a ROM?
I've looked everywhere on here for posts talking about Solavei and cannot find anything.
Mark
Flash a t989 Tom and blaze, and check ur apn
You're saying to flash the T-Mobile 898 rom and radio?
