i just got my Galaxy S II LTE from Rogers Store yesterday.
the guy was showing me the new phone, and i did show LTE display beside the signal bar. but today it showing up 3G or 4G only, even i was at the Rogers store it still showing 4G not LTE.
All the LTE phone in the Rogers store showing LTE on the top of the screen.
How come my is showing 3G/4G even in the store ?
is it something about rooting the phone ?
rooting will not keep it off lte. sounds like your account/sim is not provisioned properly for lte.
yup, you have to call rogers to tell them you want LTE on your data plan. My 6gbs of regular data was moved to 6gbs of LTE data after i called them. They didnt charge me anything extra so maybe you can do the same.
Make sure that you have a Lte sim card

i see now. so it matters on the Data Plan
Thanks
I'm getting NO data right now. Is LTE down? Any why is it that every time LTE is down, I can't get 3G either
LTE outages started in the Northeast yesterday, but seem to have spread nationwide now. This will cause complete outages on LTE devices due to the switching protocols not working properly

I'm experiencing the same thing. Maybe they're preparing for the launch of the two new phones?
Anyhow, my coworker's 3G Droid Pro is working fine...
No data at all for me in South Florida. As for the LTE outage also knocking out our 3g... Blame the SIM card. It authenticates over the GSM (LTE) network.

Try calling *611 I just called and they have a message playing acknowledging the outage. (For my area at least)

And just like that, my data came back. But it's only 3G right now.
I love forums. Within minutes I get reassurance it's not just my phone!
Out in New Orleans, LA as well. *611 confirmed they have an outage in my area.
I haven't had any issues yet today in my 180 miles of driving. Then I had 4g disabled.

Mine went out around 12:45pst. I was next to a has store and they confirmed a nationwide data outage.
Strangely however of all the phones in the store, only the Bionic seemed unaffected. It had 4g when nothing else in store had either 3g or 4g. I'm back with 3g now.

Go to Wireless & Network setting > Mobile Networks > System selection > pick CDMA, automatic. Then you will get 3G. It's better than no data at all.

Tried this when I first noticed the outage. Didn't work. I was getting NO data whatsoever. Full bars with nothing beside it. Could only call and SMS.
Data has been working fine for me all day(North Hollywood, CA). If it matters I'm running EP4P ROM/Modems.
data back up here in San Diego, CA

There is a particular protocol, which currently eludes me, that is required on a mixed LTE/CDMA network to control the switching between the two systems. That protocol is there on every part of the network, not just the LTE segments. If there is a problem with that protocol, this phone isn't going to get any data at all...it doesn't matter if there is CDMA available or not.
Voice and text aren't affected because they don't use the data segment and they don't use LTE, so they don't have to worry with that switching protocol.
FYI For everyone, Verizon just announced about 30 mins ago they have the LTE network back up and running.
I can confirm in NYC i can finally connect back on 4G.
I just got 4G LTE turned on in my area and I can't seem to get 4G to toggle on.. It's only showing a 3G signal. I tried using a 4G toggle app using device info to change it to LTE only, but no dice. I'm sitting next to my friend with a 4G signal, so I know it should work. Can anyone offer any assistance?

Pretty much in the same situation here except my area has had 4G for months now. I've personally tested a Razr and a Bionic in multiple locations nearby with fantastic speeds and was pretty excited to have LTE on my new phone but haven't been able to hold onto a 4G signal for more than a minute or two.
Since this is my first 4G phone it's been recommended that I call Verizon and make sure my account is setup correctly for it. If that doesn't work, the main Verizon store in my area has full LTE coverage so I'll bring it there this weekend and try to swap out with a new phone.
I bought one of these phones, rooted it, unlocked it, and installed CM9. I love the phone and OS, but I cannot get the 3G/4G to work on AT&T. Any ideas?
Yeah. The data network is incompatible. Different frequency.
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda premium
Yeah I think all you can get is 2G (edge) on AT&T with the blaze.
I can say from first hand experience that the blaze works great with AT&T's 3g service. I bought this phone last week, unlocked it, and swapped in the sim from my old Aria and have been using it with CM10 ever since. Data speeds are around 3 to 6 Mb/s down and 1 Mb/s up, and voice and text messaging works fine.
For a more technical answer, AT&T uses the 850 mhz and 1900 mhz frequencies for UMTS (3g), and T-mobile uses 1700 mhz and 2100 mhz frequencies. The blaze supports UMTS on all of these frequencies so there are no technical roadblocks to using this phone with AT&T. http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S-Blaze-4G_id6824
As for your problem of not getting 3g working, I had similar issues when first switching the sim card (especially on the stock rom). Check that your APN matches the one your old phone was using. On the stock rom, the phone did not auto detect the correct APN and this caused the 3g to not work. CM10 detected the correct APN right away though. Also, try turning data off and on or even rebooting the phone once you've checked your network settings.
I sold my other phone and no longer have it. Please confirm your APN settings, and how do I change them?
The blaze has all the frequencies necessary for it to do HSPA (3G/4G) on AT&T's networks.
You'll likely want to change the APN. On CM9/10, go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks + More... -> Mobile Network Settings -> Access Point Names.
I was careful in selecting this specific phone because of its compatibility with AT&T HSPA bands. I have tried the suggested tweaks to the APN settings within both CM9 and CM10, but I still get no visual notification that the phone is operating in 3G or 4G mode. The areas in which I have used the phone consistently provided 3G and/or 4G coverage consistently with my prior BlackBerry 9860.
Any additional tips/tricks would certainly be appreciated. I know this phone is capable of so much more than it's providing me at this point.

have you tried running a speed test to see if maybe it's just that the icon isn't coming up?
That is why it was called the "Merger Proof Phone"
Okay, so heres the deal. I currently have a Skyrocket running CM 10.1 with the UVMC6 radio on Net10 T-Mobile SIM. I my home town of West Bend, WI I get H+ and decent speeds of about 6Mbps down. When I'm in Milwaukee, WI I occasionally get "DC" (Dual Carrier?) with some pretty impressive downspeeds of 20Mbps. I have LTE enabled on my phone but I have never gotten a 4G or LTE indication when in Milwaukee. Which I believe is a T-Mobile LTE area. So my question is if I switch to AT&T SIM on Net10, will I get 4G LTE speeds? It is not specifically indicated on Net10's site that I will, but they sell LTE phones.
Thanks!
It all depends on what net 10 (or whatever) are providing...I doubt those MVNO networks offer LTE from the patent networks at this moment, though I might be mistaken...That 20 mbps you get is HSPA+(DC is HSPA+21 x 2 = HSPA+42)...They sell LTE phones doesn't mean anything, most modern phones nowadays are LTE phones....
However, if you join T-Mobile(T-Mobile proper that is ) and in an area which is one of the official LTE launch cities, you can connect to it using the stock SR radio...
To know the type of network you're connected to, go to settings/About device(or phone)/Status

I saw that too, I just wanted more than one opinion, and quite frankly I trust the people on this site more than any other.

Thanks! I was wondering how I could be getting speeds that fast without LTE. Also, is HSPA+ is rated for 42Mbps then how fast is LTE rated for and is the 20Mbps down that I am getting relatively high for cellular speeds these days?
It depends on tons of factors...HSPA+ at 20mbps is faster than the LTE I get....The only real plus to the LTE is the excellent low ping latency...

You shouldn't trust any people or site more than what your carrier tells you. If I were you I would've just called / emailed net ten and asked them directly :good:

hahahaha....if you know how to turn your phone on by yourself than you know more than the customer service people at net10/straight talk. They only know how to read off their script cards. They have tried telling me that my phone is incapable of mms when i was having problems with the stock apn they provided. I wouldnt trust any infomation they tell you.
Those MVNO networks and their customer rep suck big time to be helpful at all....
I use my Skyrocket on Net10 AT&T SIM and the best I have ever gotten is HSPA+ 21.6 even in an LTE area... Net10 SIMs don't allow connecting to LTE networks.

They do now as of September 2013...I believe you have to get a new simm for $5 from their website to enable ATT LTE
Straight talk is now offering att lte as well.just ordered my new sim for that.will see how it goes.

Well I got my SIM in the mail yesterday and did the transfer. Checked all the APN settings, but I don't have LTE. Yet my friend standing right next to me with an S4 on att is getting LTE. Hmmm.

If the frequencies are the same as Rogers / AT&T then there's no reason for you to not have it. Try doing more troubleshooting.

That's what I figured, I mean it's an ATT phone after-all so if should work with their LTE. But after some troubleshooting I discovered that my phone will not enable LTE for whatever reason. I will go into the settings menu and select GSM/WCDMA/LTE and it just auto switches back to GSM/WCDMA preferred. I am currently running CM 10.1.3 RC2 with UCMC1 radio, so I will try re-flashing that radio to see if it helps, but I don't know what else would cause this.

Try Rogers RUXUMA7 radio, I think that the UCMC1 radio has some kind of lock which prevents you from switching modes.

Well I don't know what happened, but it just out of the blue started showing 4G and LTE. So now it works and I'm getting 25Mbps down!
Rogers radio is working better at keeping lte enabled for me. I am on an older net10 sim and after calling customer service they updated my account and its working although my lte ping times are very similar to hspa... I'm on slim 4.3 build 1

I have the exact same problem. 20 minutes on the phone with Net10 today and they said I would have to contact the manufacture(Samsung) to get LTE. Made no sense.
Go to network operator, scan and pick att from the list. Then try changing the mode to lte/gsm/wcdma and it should stick. Was happening to me too but this fixed it
