I just purchased a used Galaxy S2 SGH-I727R skyrocket that was originally purchased from Rogers in Canada a year ago by the original owner. The phone was completely stock with stock Rogers firmware, most up to date version 4.0.4. The phone box shows LTE DUAL BAND 700MHz/AWS as the capable signal bands on this phone. I'm not sure if any of these are blocked on the Rogers custom firmware.
I unlocked the phone and tried to use it on Fido LTE network, which works on the same network as Rogers as it is part of the same parent company now. However, my phone will not pick up the LTE signal, no matter what. The SIM is brand new from Fido on their new LTE network that I got just 2 weeks ago. The SIM is properly provisioned for LTE as after installing sim in the phone, the apn settings window automatically populates with FIDO LTE settings (ltemobile.apn and ltedata.apn for tethering). I also have a full LTE and 4g data plan.
As LTE would not connect, I entered fido's regular 4g/3g settings as a separate apn and the phone connected right away to the 4G network (with very good speeds, DL up to 11MBps and uploads up to 2-3 MBps). I'm in the downtown Mississauga area right beside toronto and this area is fully covered with LTE. I tried using the 'data roaming' option to see if there was any difference, I tried to manually select fido in the 'network operators' section etc but playing around with these options generated zero success.
I looked up forums on Fido where even though this phone is not in their line up of supported devices, their helpdesk suggested that any Canadian LTE phone with proper fido lte data plan and proper lte sim should work on LTE. I even drove around in areas near my house where I've seen a friend use Fido's LTE signal on his Fido htc one device, but no success on my phone.
***Some people have activated proper LTE signal on their Google Nexus 4 American phones for use in Canada by dialing *#*#4636#*#* and then going into the following menu's 'phone information' section to select LTE or a different PRL option with LTE. I tried to do the same thing but when I enter this hidden menu's 'phone information' section, my screen blanks out, phone becomes unresponsive and after a minute or 2 I get a message that some android system file was closed etc. I tried de-activating the data connection and tried to enter the same menu option but same end result. I thought maybe rooting the phone will give me access to this menu but even after successful root, my phone blanks out when entering that 'phone information' menu.
Can anyone suggest something or help me figure this out please. I have a feeling the PRL or LTE option needs to be selected manually here and I need to access that menu. Since FIDO LTE network on Rogers existing LTE network was activated a year later, there may be some updates needed in this area (as the phone was originally set up for Rogers LTE from a year ago).
OR, should I just call FIDO support, and assuming they help me with a non-fido phone, try to get this sorted out with their techs?
Thanks
weird when you say the box says "aws", rogers doesnt support aws as far as i know, wind uses aws, i cant find my box to check
did you perferm a factory reset, which modem are you on
EDIT: phone does support aws, but cant see why it would state it on the box if its from rogers
Because the LTE networks are running on AWS and in some cases 2600 MHz frequencies by the big providers in Canada. Even thourgh only Wind/mobilicity use the new AWS for their regular 3G/4G networks, the LTE with Rogers/Bell/Telus is on AWS while their regular non-lte signals are still on their standard gsm bands.

k, but did you check which modem you are on
did you perform a reset.
u stated you entered this, *#*#4636#*#* you should of not received errors(but i tested on jb)
try this for band preference *#2263#
try a working rogers lte sim card and see what happens
are the fido apns the same as rogers
try the rogers apns, used to work for the 3g when i was on fido but that was b4 they offered lte
last resort but maybe your best option, flash stock w/odin, howto in my sig

Thanks again for your help. I realized later on that I got the non-LTE sim card from Fido, so I went back yesterday and got an LTE sim card and had it activated. However, I can never get LTE even though a person sitting beside me on her Rogers S3 with the exact same apn (as I realized rogers and Fido have the exact apn's for LTE network, ltemobile.apn) is getting LTE. I know Fido is the value brand, so they get secondary priority on LTE, which is ok but I realized the problem below:
WHEN I had the non-LTE sim and even with the LTE sim now, one option has never worked. In the mobile network screen, I'm supposed to have just the Ltemobile.apn (Fido and Rogers LTE) radion button selected and Ltedata.apn (for tether) as the default options. These are also built into the rogers stock rom and this phone is originally a rogers a phone. My friend's S3 has the same 2 apn's listed while she's connected to rogers LTE (her's is micro sim, I couldn't try it on mine). With these options, I CAN'T connect to ANY data network at all. I can only do calls, no data. I tried doing batter reset, restarts, change the LTE/HSPA and HSPA etc settings, no luck. The ONLY time I get data is when I manually enter the non-LTE apn settings as a separate apn (Fido-core-appl1.apn) and it connects to 4G. The speeds were good earlier but since changing to the LTE sim, the same 4G keeps disconnecting or it gives much much lower speeds.
As per your suggestion, I followed your thread to re-install the stock rogers ICS rom with odin. Even after that, no change at all. I tried using the *#2263# option to change LTE band to 7 or auto, but no luck as this phone's hardware is only for 700 MHZ or AWS, of which rogers uses the 2100 on pretty much all their devices. At this point, I don't know what to do. I've followed everything from Fido site with LTE phone, LTE apn, LTE sim and LTE data plan, but the phone doesn't even recognize the ltemobile.apn unless I enter the regular Fido apn.
Should I change the radio/modem on this phone to something else or try the JB roms? Do you think that may make a difference, or is this something else, where LTE apn is not even recognized for data. Someone please help, my first phone upgrade after 2.5 yrs has been a complete buzz kill lol.
theres is a method when using *#2263# in picking the lte settings, ill search for the posts as i cant remember the exact details
if you lived or work near me i could test it out for you, bolton or toronto near yorkdale, since its a second hand phone you cant rule out hw failure, but you would need to test it out with a rogers lte sim card.
did you try manually searching for available networks from mobile settings
edit:k i found it, its old and uses the rogers older apn, try with that one or whatever fido phones uses now which i think would be the "ltemobile" apn, if already set then just goto the "power off" phone part
-.go to settings/more/mobile networks/access point names

Thanks Vincom. If there is a HW problem, that would really suck but it's hard to see that would be the case if everything else is working fine, inlcluding 4G. And it would be great to know how that band selection process works, as I don't wont to select the wrong option and be stuck with a non-working radio.
I'll give Fido tech support a call and see if they can figure this out, but it's unlikely unless there is something wrong with my plan (LTE plan not activated, unlikely).
Let's say even if I were to have to check the phone (driving to Yorkdale area is no big deal), what would you test on this anyway?
Thanks
Actually let me try out the options you later added in your post above
Thank you, it worked!

Thank you x 1,000,000 Sir, I owe you big time. I've spent last 3 days non-stop on this phone while my wife has been complaining I haven't left my phone since I got it. Now I can go home today and spend more time with her lol.
Here's how it worked: I just copied the ltemobile.apn default settings into a new apn, which I saved with a different name (so that I could keep the original default settings saved separately). As soon as I saved the new apn settings (did not enter anything in the 'apn type' field) and wala, LTE came on. For some reason, even with the same settings exact default settings, it wasn't recognizing the saved apn but the newly created one was picked up right away. Tried the speed test in square one area at work, 21Mbps down, 12Mbps up, wow (coming from my old 3G phone, this is amazing).
I didn't even have to go through the rest of the process with band selection etc., as this is a Rogers phone on their network, so those settings should'nt be changed anyway.
Thanks again. I think I saw some posts on fido forums with other people complaining about stuck with 4G on non-fido phones. I'll update those forums as well.
Happy new year to all
I just make a new son ltemobile.apn and it sticks even on reboots

I have a previously SIM unlocked Samsung Vibrant that has since been upgraded to Froyo via the official Samsung release.
I am currently using the phone on Telcel Mexico which as I understand it uses the same data frequencies as ATT in the USA.
When I connect to the data network, I get Edge only.
What must I do to get 3G? I tested my SIM in an iPhone and I get 3g with my same SIM in an iPhone.
Try this as it could help both of us.
I found this thread from another source and haven't tried it myself since i haven't been in Mexico yet but i suppose this might help. I also have an unlocked Samsung Vibrant android version 2.2 and already put a AT&T SIM card and received 3G. Ill try this myself whenever i obtain a Telcel SIM.
So follow these steps as it could help both of us.
1. In your android phone, get into:
Settings-> Wireless and Network Settings-> Mobile Networks-> Access
Point Names (APN)
2. Then Create one NEW access point and give it a name, (I'll use: Internet 3G)
3. Fill in the data as follows:
APN: internet.itelcel.com
This is internet.itelcel.com<-------- itelcel has an initial "i"
Username: webgprs
Password: webgprs2002
APN type: default <------ Type the word "default" in lowercase and don't
put in the quotes
Leave all the rest fields with their default values.
4. Restart the phone and when it starts back up you should see the 3G logo
on the status bar.
If that didn't work I'm so sorry. Like I've said, i haven't tried this method yet but i will as soon as i get a 3G SIM card. If this didn't work thy following the steps shown in this thread. It says that Telcel runs on 850 MHz frequency and our phone aren't selected, by the default, to this frequency. There is a way to manually select it to this frequency, though. Once again these aren't my threads and are from outside source.

Hey guys,
Im currently using a i727r on ICS and i seem to have a really weird problem. I seem to be able to call when I flash a rom, but then out of the blue, it just stops working and i cannot make any calls. I can still send texts and stuff but just no calling. I have tried both UCLD and UCLC modems and roms but I still get the same problem. However, this problem doesnt happen on GB with the UCLA modem.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem, and if so did you solve it? Thanks for the feedback
I bet if you posted your question here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1401
You would recieve some answers.

Woops!
Well i meant for this to be mostly stating a problem i realized with ICS rather then a question thats why I thought I would post here.
Rogers
I see you're on Rogers, like me.
Turns out the modem settings default to ATT so the GSM band is limited to ATT.
You have to go *#2263# in the phone dialer
- Select GSM Band Preference
- Select GSM ALL
- hit the left haptic button and select END
I hope this helps.
EDIT: Doh! I just realized this turns off data. Must be something wrong with the LTE APN setting.

Ya I just realized that too. Thanks for the help anyways, guess im sticking to GB
OK so I was able to narrow the problem down.
So, I flashed ICS, calls worked.
Changed APNs still worked no LTE though.
Finally, did the *#2263# and set the LTE band as prefered. Then I rebooted, and I got LTE but lost calling.
So its definitly the band or the apn thats causing this problem. So now its just choose between LTE or calling which sucks.
Hope that helps.
Going to try the UCLD2 roms now, ill report back in a few

uhh bud, the problem could be u only half did this right. After u enable all lte bands u have to menu > exit, dial back in using *#2263#* and then select automatic and then reboot.
There is no such thing as voice over LTE, its data only. When in call ur phone automatically switches to 4g, but u have auto turned off right now

Oh alright, well Im not gunna try that right now as i got it to work on UCLD2 modem and dont want to mess it up.
But ya thanks for the help everyone
I solved it by adding these 3 APNs. You also need to go back into *#2263# and select LTE, let it establish connection, then go back and change it to Automatic. Note that LTE isn't everywhere so just because you don't get LTE doesn't mean it doesn't work.

I recently got the XT925 fido version and I am using it on AT&T, everything is working beautifully, hsdpa, LTE works perfect as well. The only issue I'm having is that mms messages or picture messages come in where it asks me to download, I tap download but it does not download the image, it just sits there. One issue is that everyone who is sending to me is sending from an iPhone so that may have something to do with it. If anyone knows a way to get around this issue with mms I'd appreciate the help, thank you.

Check your APN. Are you using something that is automatically selected by the phone or did you enter one in manually?

Don't forget to make sure you select it after saving it, because the OS will not do that automatically. Reboot the phone, go back to the APN list and make sure it's still there and selected. Try sending or receiving MMS to it. The automatically selected entry is an older APN and this new one might actually give you a small LTE speed boost. Give it a shot with SpeedTest.

pta does not seem to be working on my phone. the hsdpa apn is working and i get lte from it. mms does not work with the hsdpa the settings you provided i actually attempted to create new apn with them but i don't get data connectivity with the pta apn, i don't know what the problem is, i'm wondering if it has something to do with the way att has my account setup since i'm coming from an iphone 5 and i never notified them that i got a new phone. Could this be possible?
just to let everyone here know, I am coming for an at&t iphone 5 lte, and i bought a fido xt925 from ebay. by default when i go into the apn settings there are 5 apns available, out of those 5, 2 of them are pta and hsdpa, I am not able to use the pta at all, it will not get data connectivity at all for me. Also lets take into account that i am using my sim card from my iphone 5 which is a nano sim so i am using an adapter to size that sim to a micro sim to get it into the razr hd. the only apn with which i get data is the hsdpa apn, when using that apn i am able to get hspa+ and LTE because i see the symbol changes from H+ to 4G and i have tested and I do get lte speeds. The mms problem i noticed is only when i am using LTE, when i am using the hspa+ i am able to send and receive mms messages. basically when the phone has H+ i can get and send mms but when the phone goes to 4G I am not able to send or receive mms. Very strange I will be contacting at&t about this.

I'm sorry to hear you're still having issues with MMS. I just did a firmware restore on my phone and was able to select PTA and use MMS in WiFi, H+ and LTE. I'm not sure how much of an assistance AT&T will be willing to offer though, since you are using a phone that is not normally provisioned by them. I've ran into cases where they just shrugged and told me it's not their problem when I had data issues with the International Note.
I noticed today that in gaining LTE (already on an LTE plan with ATT, was using LTE on my N4 just fine) I lost the ability to DISABLE LTE and (more specifically) use wap.cingular as an APN. I've done reset to defaults, checked settings and compared to my N4, nothing. I can actually disable LTE, but even on forced HSPA+, I can only connect via PHONE, not WAP.CINGULAR APN. This is important as wap.cingular bypasses throttling and also does not count toward the throttle counter. Any help would be appreciated. Otherwise I'll have to leave to Tmo which...is an option but a last resort.
SOLVED!
I found an Xposed Framework module called Wedymod. Link http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.wedy.mod
In this module is an option called "Do Not Prefer APN". After selecting this and rebooting, the phone obeys the APN I tell it to use (wap.cingular in this case). I'd love to pick apart this module and figure out how/what it's doing specifically if anyone else has the skills I'd love to see it done. Enjoy guys!

you can go Settings -> More -> Mobile networks -> Preferred Network Type Select 3G
Then under Access point names add a new APN for wap.cingular and name it AT&T 2 or AT&T Bypass Throttle and select and enable it
i dont see why you need an xposed stuff for this..

Actually I spoke too soon, it did NOT solve my problem. Upon further testing (deleting all non-wap.cingular apns) I still can't get a connection unless I add back pta or phone. Can you confirm what plan you're on? I'm on LTE Unlimited as my plan code and I CANNOT connect on wap.cingular over 3G. I can do it over 2g (not on LTE obviously) but the phone will NOT allow me to connect via 3g to wap.cingular. My i9100 has no problem with this.

I'm on T-Mobile sorry im enjoying my 5GB of LTE speeds for 30$
I just bought a Z3 D6616 off of eBay that was listed as "Unlocked". To me unlocked means that it will work on other networks, so I did not worry that I was going to use the phone on AT&T. I got the phone today and took it down to get a NanoSim for it (my old phone used a MicroSim). The guy at the AT&T set it up and got the sim installed, and the phone can receive calls, but it has no data service at all. I mean none!. I looking through every article I can find online and they all say that the D6166 is locked to T-Mobile and cannot be configured to receive data on the AT&T network.
Is this true? I really like this phone. Is there any hope of fixing this problem? Please!
Check you APN info.
Settings > more > mobile networks > Access point names
Then press the plus sign and enter the details for your carrier. That was how I got mine working.
You mentioned AT&T, I'm going to guess in America and a quick google search gave me these details

Thanks, but I tried that first thing and it did not work. I spent hours on the phone with AT&T and they gave me all the settings over the phone and it did nothing. Do you have the Z3 model D6616 or the D6603? The D6603 can be used with AT&T, but so far I have found no way to get the D6616 to work and nobody else that has either.
I have the international D6616 version with an unlocked bootloader. Changing the apn was what worked for mine. I am connecting to a German provider, so maybe it is an At&t issue.
It's very possible that the area you are in does not have the supported ATT LTE band that is compatible with your phone. Since the D6616 was designed for T-mobile, it will only have Bands 2, 4, and 12. ATT's primary LTE data band is Band 17, and that is not supported by your phone. ATT also supports band 2, 4, and 5 as well, but there is a good chance that those bands are not in your area by ATT
