[Q] How to enable EDGE connectivity...

All right I've went through all the posts regarding this and none of the options seem to work. I have terrible 3G/4G signal where I live. How can I set the network!!??!! Tried the apps tried the *#*# stuff (all I get with that is "RAT selection restricted!" WTF is RAT?) I can't even make a phone call or send a simple text with the one bar of 3G/4G I get. I know most are probably against the merger but I will hopefully benefit from it cuz there is a T-Mo tower down the street from me. Anyhow please help. I'm rooted, stock AT&T, 2.2.1

It's only possible with Rogers-based ROMs (e.g. Infused v2.x)
It's not possible with the stock AT&T ROM or any derivatives, and causes all sorts of problems with CM7.
Hopefully AT&T's Gingerbread update will fix this.

Would I be able to flash the rogers rom on mine? My guess is no... but its worth asking.

Infused v2 is Rogers-based.

Entropy, I was able to force 2G with Infused 1.5.3 when I had it paired with the Rogers modem. I used the star code *#2263# and that allowed me to select a GSM only band.
Also, on current infused.v2 builds, I cannot force 2G as they're not using Rogers modem and I don't feel like flashing another modem and bricking it on these test builds.

Lost LTE

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?

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.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk

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

Reboot, and you should be on HSPA+.

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.

Build.prop is the Only Correct Method

^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.

s-off not required for a different ruu, but supercid is. We can currently get supercid.

Tried all methods suggested here but was unable to turn off LTE. It kills battery as fast as it downloads the data.

[Q] sch-i535 on t-mobile

So here is what I am looking for... i have a Verizon SCH-i535, and what I am looking for is someone who has flashed the stock tmobile rom and changed the bands within the phone its self using the hidden menu (netmonitor app) to see if they can get more than just edge data... I have it flashed to AT&T right now and am using a friends T-mobile sim card that we cut down to fit into the SCH-i535 GS3... it seemed to sync with the towers and get mms.. text.. calls... and internet... just not 3g... I would like to know if someone has found a fix to this issue...
Thanks for your time.

Why not just flash the Verizon Jellybean Rom (Cleanrom or Jellywiz) since global mode was enabled in that Rom? Then drop your tmo sim in.

You know I had not thought about using the global mode on verizon.. I will have to give that a try... do you know if that will allow for 3g on tmobile?

Useful thread so far, but I have a several questions.
I currently have a Verizon Galaxy S3 SGH-i535 with a T-Mobile prepaid sim card (unlimited everything), I can call and text, but cannot get any network access.
I'm currently running Clean Rom 5, settings on Global. Is there any way I can enable data, preferred 3G? [due to that T-Mobile will get 4G on Verizon phones next month).
On CM10, I get Edge and can receive text, but cannot send text. Tried APN settings, etc. Is there a fix for this?
I have tried everything, but no luck. Any suggestions is appreciative

So what I did is i unlocked the bootloader... rooted it... and then flashed the AT&T stock rom on it and then plugged in the TMO sim card and then changed the bands to GSM auto. and it picked up edge... I was able to get access to the network with data... but the only catch was that it was slow as hell... as it was only edge. I am still working on programming to get the i535 on the tmobile bands... thus far I have not been able to get the phone on 4g or even 3g yet... I will keep you updated though.

have you tried using the hidden menu in the dial pad at all??
There is an app out there that will get access to the menu and allow you to change everything in the phone... but be very careful with this app as it can and will brick your phone if you do not know what you are doing with the app..
Netmonitor --> look for this on the google play store
To change the bands to at least get data on the phone, follow the instructions below:
1. install Netmonitor on the S3
2. open the app
3. hit the menu button
4. select field test
5.select UMTS
6. Select DEBUG SCREEN
7. Select PHONE CONTROL
8. Select NETWORK CONTROL
9. select BAND SELECTION
10. Select either AUTOMATIC or GSM Band Preference
* if you choose automatic the phone will look at the sim card and go from there to get the phone on the network to get data on the phone.
11. Select GSM ALL
This is the thread that I am following at the moment to get the phone on HSPA+ or 3G.. If you have anymore questions then please let me know I will do my best to help you out.

No LTE with Custom Roms?

I know the skyrocket I727 supports LTE. With stock firmware LTE is not a problem. But when I put any custom ROM it no longer goes to LTE. Is this normal or is their a separate download for an LTE radio in these custom ROMS?

This is not common at all. Check that your apn settings are correct. And you have the recommended radio. What rom are you using?

I have tried slimbean superlite and a few others. My radio is well I can't seem to find that. My baseband version is i727ucll3 I use CWM touch...When I go into mobile networks is says HSPA:10 and that's it.

Radio or modern is the same thing as baseband. I'm not familiar with the slim bean rom so maybe someone who is can give you a better answer. But in Mobil networks, apn on the superlite rom I have three options with one being lte.

If you're using a rom like PA, CM10, AOKP and probably Slim Bean too.. 4G=LTE.

Download the ucll3 radio from vicoms sticky and flash it. You don't need to do any wipes and its not going to muck anything up. It'll take care of your problem.
Sent from the short bus

Have you run a speed test lately? As said, many custom ROMs don't have an LTE icon; 4G is LTE, H+ is what AT&T considers "4G" in areas without LTE coverage. Running a speed test is an easy way to tell. If you're getting LTE speeds when your phone says 4G, you're on a ROM that doesn't show an LTE icon.

Go to phone information, scroll down to a drop down menu. Sometimes it'll say WCDMA preferred. Open it and select LTE and your signal should drop and cone back as LTE. After select LTE/GSM and close it.

Are you sure you were on LTE in the first place? AT&T is kinda misleading with their branding and calls HSPA+ "4G" whereas LTE is "4G LTE".

Have you run a speed test lately? As said, many custom ROMs don't have an LTE icon; 4G is LTE, H+ is what AT&T considers "4G" in areas without LTE coverage. Running a speed test is an easy way to tell. If you're getting LTE speeds when your phone says 4G, you're on a ROM that doesn't show an LTE icon.

I try flashing pacman rom and my phone is displaying the 4g logo. In the pacman rom thread, I saw a snap shot with
the lte symbol. Any ideas?
