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.
Do I need to install a new radio? I just ran a speed test and I am getting only about 2 megs down, where before on stock it was like 15 megs down...

Can you take a screenshot of this screen.. it'd be easier to see what's up?
Edit: Also, what rom are you on now?
The radio you have is the right one, but I'd re-flash it. See vincoms stickies in the development section. He'll have the radio download and how to do it.

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.

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.

Have you tried opening dialer up, entering *#*#4636#*#*
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".

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?

after i rooted i never get H+ anymore in my house. i used to be able to but now i dont.
hm?
did you root and load a rom? if so you probably now have HSDPA+HSUPA instead of ATT's locked down hspa+
Do a speed test if are getting over 3 MB/s download and more than 350 kb/s upload then the icon doesn't matter and you are doing fine.
Many have already mentioned you will likely not see the speed til the HSPA+ is fully turned on around March

yeah i rooted and loaded the rom in the development section. id also do a speed test but i have like 2 bars now so i know its gonna suck haha.
Slightly off topic, I have always gotten an H+ at 3-4 bars but my speedtests (24 hours at couple hour increments) I've never gotten above 1.8Mb (1.0 min). In the store the data was flying, and across the street but didn't do a speedtest. Need to go back and try. Anyways I do wonder if H+ is going to be gimmiky until it's much broader release.
It's going to display the h+ anytime you're not connected to edge with the stock phone. When backhaul work is done you should see a difference.

It is the rom. I think the rom that attn1 posted just doesnt include the H+ icon.
A store rep told me that to see the speed increase I'll need a 4G sim card. Right now I'm getting around 2,997 kbps down & 698 kbps up. He said that Houston is a test market and that 4G went live yesterday. Only problem is that they won't be getting any 4G sim cards till next week.
Does this even sound legit?

LULZ.
you didnt lose your HSDPA 'capabilities'
you lost your precious H+ icon, which is nothing more than an AT&T cover up to try and trick you into thinking their network is better than others.....its an icon. it means nothing
in the menu, you are only supposed to get a GSM/WCDMA option because thats what the phone runs on.
unless you flashed a different RADIO, one that doesnt like your area, then there is nothing wrong and your HSDPA 'capabilities' are still there. go do a speed test, for petes sake....
search, hell, just READ the titles of a few threads and you will get your answer. it HAS been answered a couple hundred times here and there....

This Rom has the Ril in it for the Desire HD radio 26.13.04.19. I use this as my daily Rom with this radio and my phone runs better than stock. H+ was added for aesthetic reasons only.

I have that ROM, it's not missing it.
And every single rom for Skyrocket has LTE Support, actually the phone hardware is always there, that I know for sure.
some ROM's don;t even have an option to choose and still applying apn works perfect. On AT&T ROM the icon will say 4G and small LTE under it, on Rogers it will say LTE.
If 4G is working there is no way you can be missing LTE as LTE is 4G just faster.

AT&T uses regular LTE which is just 4G updated it's called 4G-LTE, Canadian network is way more advanced.

coming back to my original point, if your phone shows 4G sign and you don;t get LTE, two reason's 1) you are not in the range for LTE 2) your apk is wrong. This is tested and retested, just change the apn and get in the LTE range and see the magic.

well there u go, becuz I'm on rogers in Canada and LTE is LTE, 4 g is slower. Yes, the LTE radio remains active but the rom is incompatible with the frequencies of Rogers LTE = no LTE. That being said a RAT unlocked radio like kj7 may work, but 1) i highly doubt it, and 2) I never got around to testing this as the UCLA3 modem and kernels combo work great for me

Other on rogers running 4.2 have lte, just less reception so im guessing radio is not the problem. Any idea?

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?

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.

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

Do custom ROMs limit the HSPA speed of our phone? Is there some network check where if you're not running on T-Mobile's ROM, you won't be able to access the full speed HSPA+ 42mbps network?
rom won't affect that
have seen a lot of posts with folks getting plus 20mb in the 42mb areas--wish I lived in one--
Do you think the buil.prop settings have anything to do with it?
I remember getting 15mbps a few months back from my home, now the fastest I can get is around 5 :/
sounds like something changed, what do you get in other areas compared to before
some roms don't do as well as others with some folks. but, I never had a rom make that kind of difference.
don't know about buildprop--I doubt it
try the last rom you were on with good speeds. also, maybe the latest radio
I haven't been able to get high speeds like that anywhere really.
What I've noticed is that since switching from the stock ROM, my indicator switches frequently from "H" to "3G". It'll switch back and fourth every 5-10 seconds when I'm using data. This happens with CM9 and CM10 and the modified Sense ROM that I'm running now. I live in an area with excellent 4G coverage and I don't understand why this switching is occurring now when it wasn't back on the stock ROM (and I know the stock ROM had separate indicators for 4G/H and 3G). It doesn't make any sense to me.
the switching is common for a lot of people and is addressed on several threads
if your hboot is under .13 you can flash a newer radio

I like my phone switching to edge when HSPA signal is weak because then I still get service and it doesn't kill my battery life. I don't think this would matter because 3G and 4G are on the same bands :/ Which is why I don't understand why it switches....

I did some tweaks on my phone and saw positive results, I posted a guide for others here.
I have a rooted and unlocked at&t skyrocket on jellybean 4.1.2 with very slow speeds, so I tried flashing the radios UCMC1 and UXUMA7 through cwm and nothing has changed. After messing with the APN settings a little my data is no longer working. It shows the bars but I can't get a connection.
I flashed the radio UVLI1 in hopes that I would get lucky but that caused my bars to go away to be replaced by a slashed circle. I flashed back to UCMC1 which is showing the bars, but still no data connection. I have broken my back googling and searching forums on this matter but I can't seem to figure this out. Any help please?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349914
Don't double post
I think UCMC1 and UXUMA7 are ATT and Rogers radios respectively. UVLI1 is the T-Mobile SGS2 ICS radio, which may not work on your JellyBean rom.
Try UVMC6, which is the radio for T-Mobile's SGS2 Jelly Bean update. You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400
Results can never be guaranteed, but this is the radio I use, and it has worked fine on every single rom I've tried, Touchwiz or AOSP, even in areas w/o the 1900Mhz refarm.

It depends on what you observe using either of these..
Try them one by another and see which one is better (UCMC1 vs UX radio) in signal and data speeds ... Personally I couldn't find any difference in my location ... Both gave me the exact same signal and data speeds (TM LTE).

The UX gave me faster data speeds. Call clarity is about the same. I see 4G more than with the UC radio... I was wondering about the T-Mobile radio
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
T-Mobile radios would give you the ability to connect to T-Mobile 3G using AWS bands 1700/2100 Mhz Band4...And no LTE (or 4G) of course since the Hercules and Blaze (or the note one from TM) devices have no LTE radio chip...
If you live in an area in which T-Mobile deployed their new LTE(and most likely they already refarmed the PCS 1900 band), use UCMC1 or the UXMA7 radio,whichever you find better...Setting the apn to fast.t-mobile.com is essential for sure to get the service...
If you live in an area that T-Mobile is still at their 3G service (AWS bands for HSPA+) use the newest blaze JB radio...
Edit : when you say faster data speeds UX vs UC , any speed vs speed measurement you can share ? probably I didn't give each radio enough testing and jumped to conclude that they have same data speeds !
:good:
