Hello all I'm new to the rooting and custom ROM community but I'm sure i have the hang of it by now...but my problem is that i am using CM7-RC1 and before this i used CM7 NIGHTLY # 60 and with both i have not been able to use or see a 4g network
As of right now all i have is 1x or E
i have searched the forums and have seen that there are some APN issues but, i have not found any solutions to my problem...
any input would be appreciated.

You dont ever see H? H is the symbol for HSPA+ or 4G which is basically the same (according to t-mobile). If you never see an H then that is odd. Was it a fresh install and did you do a full wipe of your last rom before flashing?
it's no "4G" icon....but it's 4G speed when you see "H"
I like to see 4G icon too
if your seeing 1X thats cdma lol probably simple, i had this problem, do this go to settings, then wireless networks, then mobile network, and then access point names and make sure u see it on tmobile not simple, if it is on simple tap on the dot next to tmobile. then after that back out go to phone hit *#*#4636#*#*, then u will see a menu, go to phone information and scroll down , make sure it is on wcdma preferred.... let me know how u make out buddy
When i installed this ROM i went through ROM manager and cleared cache, delvik cache, wiped data, and back up...so from my knowlege it was a clean install.
I also dont ever see 3g or H or H+ sadly, i want this problem fixed

my bad for the double post but, i have done all the steps here and even tried rebooting the phone and i still get 1x.
Just in case you are wondering before, with the original ROM, i did have 4g signal
I have the "H".

hmmm, do u have an older style simcard? in another words did u take it out of ....lets say a g1 and stick it in the g2x? or did it come with g2x new? cuz older sim cards are having problems with newer phones u would have to grab a new one from tmobile they would give u one for free if that was the case .....also did u skip the sign in process? (google acct) cuz for some reason u cant do that u have to sign in rite away... ok try this first hard reboot, hold vol up and power until it reboots and see what happens if a nogo then also try one more thing go back to settings , wireless networks, mobile networks, then network operators and hit search network like 5 times it might give u an error let it say it then try again then go back to access points and click on tmobile not the dot part on the actual word tmobile and then u should see the list hit your menu and see if theres a reset apn try that then save, also minor thing to try go into ur browser go to setting and delete cache , history, cookies, and form data.

Sorry I might be missing something. What is 1x? Isn't that related to CDMA networks?
Yea I'm sure that's what it is but I can't seem to get it to change no matter what I do...I don't know whatelse to try

What I mean is that these are GSM phones, not CDMA (Sprint and Verizon). Is it possible you're roaming on another network, not T-Mobile? Maybe you don't even have 4G signal where you are.
Open your dialpad and dial *#*#4636#*#* then go to phone information. When your phone displays 1x what does it say is your current network, and then look down several lines and what does it say is the network type?
Anyone know does this phone support GSM1x??? It's a technology to allow roaming between GSM and CDMA networks.
Well under network type it says unknown although i am :
Network: T-Mobile
Roaming: Not Roaming
GSM Service: In Service
GPRS: Connected
Network Type: Unknown
I am also under WCDMA only

Googling my fingers off here lol. The only references I can find to 1x have to do with CDMA networks (Sprint and Verizon which the G2X is not compatible with) and GSM1x which seems to have been experimented with about a decade ago as a possible evolution for GSM providers to utilize CDMA technologies or something like that.
Nowadays GSM carriers here (AT&T and T-Mobile) use UMTS/WCDMA for their 3G data whereas Verizon and Sprint use CDMA2000 (which includes CDMA 1x). The 2 technologies are not compatible but GSM1x was designed to be some sort of a bridge between GSM and CDMA2000.
Have you ever had 3G/4G access thru T-Mobile where you live?

Hey all,
I tried searching the forums first, and couldn't find a match to this question.
I was able to successfully install the initial skyrocket 4.0.3 leak, but I abandoned it because it didn't give me the option to disable LTE (under 2.6.35.11 it's Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Mobile Network Settings -> Network mode).
I don't have an LTE package, this isn't a reason I got the phone, and I've seen how much it can drain the battery even just having it on.
So my question stands: are there any ICS ROMs where this option is available? Is this something I'll have to wait for in a potential 4.0.4 release?
Try Embryo ROM.
My understanding is that we would need to wait for a Rogers rom. So far, all the leaks have been AT&T roms.
There is a way to switch networks on the ICS roms, but it's not particularly convenient. You pull out your SIM card, and do it through the RAT settings (*#2263#).

There is no actual way to disable the LTE radio, even on gingerbread. One of our members used radio monitoring hardware to check, and even with 2g only enabled, the LTE radio was still active.
With that being said, u can change your gsm frequencies using the rat unlocked *#2263#* method as already mentioned

Hello,
I've been running more than one ROM on SGSIII and I can confirm that CM10 (build 8/28) provides full service globally (data + calls)... Beans ROM and CleanROM worked for calls only since there was no simple way to edit APNs, they also had problems with com.android.phone, its was FC.
I flashed CM10 build 8/25, I got data but whenever I make or receive a call the phone freezes. Yesterday I flash build 8/28, and everything is working fine on it. I can make and receive calls normally, and I can use 3G as well.
Just wanted to let you know in case you want to use the phone on a network other than Verizon and you don't want to go through all the steps in the Development Section.

Hi,
You said you can use 3G as well, would you mind which other (Non-Verizon) GSM carrier you used and were able to get 3G working? Was it a US domestic carrier or a foreign carrier?
Thank you
Wish I had this phone in Nov. Just back in May from a westpac cruise
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, what provider's SIM are you using? Is it AT&T or foreign? Also, did you need to change APN or it automatically pulled it in? Exactly what ROM are you using?
For real mayne let's get some more info!
I mean, I've been able to use T-Mobile and AT&T's SIMs in my Verizon GS3 since day one, stock TouchWiz, and now CM10, BUT NO DATA. I've always been able to make calls and text messages, but you can't touch the APN settings, so no data. Am I missing something? How did you get data to flow?
I'm using it in Lebanon, specifically using MTC Touch network. It is GSM and the frequency I believe is 850. I read on some Lebanese forums that they use 2100 as 3G frequency.
I'm using CM10 build 8/28, on previous builds, data worked but on calls the phone used to crash. On 8/28 it is working perfectly. It just doesnt show the signal strength in the notification bar.
I didnt even have to update the APN, they were pulled automatically.

Oh wow! So a foreign SIM will pull in the APN settings! My AT&T and T-Mobile will get me EDGE where it says UMTS. But in your case the signal is not reading at the notification bar, and it lists Verizon Wireless.
This means SGS3 is already unlocked for global carriers!
I assume the future update will just fix the signal reading and allow us to change the APN.
Thanks for your post!
no it is not unlocked, it didnt work on stock. CM10 unlocks it.

On stock Voice and SMS was also unlocked on domestic. With CM10 I get the same voice and sms. Data is a no go except for international carriers. I have 08/28 build and still no data for me.
If it is anything like the Rezound, it comes SIM unlocked from the factory, but the stock TW framekwork may not support the full GSM capabilities yet. CM10 doesn't sim unlock it, it just adds the missing code.
What part of lebanon are you from? im From tripoli myself, have you tested this on alfa at all?. id like to know if i can use my phone when im there next month I have an alfa sim tho.

it should work on alfa as well, I only tried with mtc in Beirut.
Did you have to make any changes to the phone settings or give unlock codes? or was it simply swapping the SIM card? I'm looking to do this on future travels to south America. For example looking to work on Movistar Venezuela (GSM 850 and HSDPA 1900
Hi, did signal bar work at your end?
I flashed the CM10 M2 recently but signal bar appeared blank(so signal at all), and -120dB at status in settings (both EDGE/HSPA/GSM)
Even though I can dial someone, strange.

Try CleanROM, install APN Manager Pro and convert it to system app in Titanium Backup, and you're ready to go to edit your APN settings.

If you plan to use a GSM SIM flash the AT&T CM10 version. You have to change the name of the device from d2att to d2vzw in the install script or CWM won't let you flash it.

What do these screenshots show. Mine says the same in Texas.
For some reason I cannot get LTE to work at all on CM10. I've done everything and it still wont work at all. I tried reverting back to stock rom, and when I did, LTE worked. So I thought if I went back to CM10 from stock it would resolve the issue, but it did not. I've checked my APNs and I cannot change the preferred network mode and i tried *#*#info#*#* and i can't change anything there to anything that has LTE on it. I'm not sure if it's just a problem with the ROM or what, but I've done plenty of researched, searched all the forums, and can't find anything that will fix.
Additional information:
Im in ATT
I've tried all the radios
and I AM in an LTE area.

Ok, try different apn. Which cm10 are you trying to use?
Does the problem happen on other ROMs? I'm not saying to use a different ROM, just saying that if it doesn't happen on, say, AOKP or Orthus (both CM-based), it's probably an issue with how CM10 is configured on your phone.
If you go into network operators (settings -network)and select att it will allow to change modes.

Haha yeah most of the time this setting is overlooked and this option enables you to turn off LTE if you want (which you don't have to have a RAT unlocked modem as presumed) and if you go to *#*#4636#*#* on your dialer you can have it set to LTE only as well.

I actually have another problem now, after a reboot, it doesn't show any options for me to choose under available networks?
it came back after a few tries but then went away again, it's not consistently there to choose.

I have the exact same issues. I've done everything on this post plus done all the research as well. For my problem whenever I enter an LTE area my data service completely drops for about 5 seconds and then when it connects it only shows HSPA+. I have never been able to pick up LTE. When I was on CM9.1 I had no issues at all. LTE connected with no issues. So is this a CM10 issue or a phone issue?
try this, might help, might not, make a backup, if you have more than one apn, remove all apn's except your lte apn(ATT Pta, for rogers :ltemobile), restart phone
edit: of course make sure it was set to the lte apn in the first place, if it was and still have probs, do above procedure if you have more than one apn

For some reason my APN was not set to the lte one (ATT Pta). I changed it to that. Hopefully that fixes my problem. Thanks for the help!
I have a slightly different problem. I am running the latest cm10 nightly and notice that any time I get lucky and go into a 4g coverage area I can only make phone calls. No data transfers at all. I have my APN set to ATT LTE pta which I assumed is the right selection. Im normally in a A3g(HSPA)~700-17 coverage area. Is this the wrong APN to use?

Yup. I have HSPA/HSPA+ around my house but close to work I have LTE. No problem with switching or losing data connection when I go from HSPA to LTE. Just double check your APN settings. There might be a typo or some missing field. Or you can create a new APN for lte and use that as your default.

I did not have that issue when using the GPE rom no. Did you make any changes to the APN settings? Did you take it off of Global?

I have not changed anything on the rom, I had to change the sim card the other day because no matter what I was only on 3g and no LTE. all the settings are correct for me to have LTE. when I was in the Verizon store on Monday I checked there display phone and it is automatic set to global, even the rep there said that all these phones automatically set itself to global. when I change it to LTE instead of global I get no signal what so ever, and when I go to *#*#4636#*#* and change it to the lte/gsm/cdma I still get no signal.
