Wondering what's everyone's solution on lte

I am using the ucle2 modem which means I can't turn off lte and in my area I get no reception with the rogers one, but lte is just killing my battery, I am just wondering how everyone is dealing with it if you are in the same situation as me? Thanks

You need a rat unlocked radio to do so, which is only provided by roger

I'm in a LTE area and flashing sky ics has given me great battery life. I also spent $20 on the verizon galaxy nexus extended battery, peeled the label off, and it fits and works great.

Ya but he's having problems in a no lte area... I also have that problem at my house cuz I live in the hills... I can get 4g in some areas but some areas of the house I can only get Edge. My battery life at home would be much better if I could choose which service to use but since I can't gotta deal with crappy battery at home...lol

[Q] can the Atnt version use 3g?

im just wondering if the atnt s2 skyrocket versions can use 3g...im on digicel jamaica which uses the same frequency as atnt
im able to get 2g and 4g but i cant use 3g
2g is way too slow and 4g uses too much battery life
im using os 4.0.4 stock

Go under the connection and change from the default to wcdma only

LTE not working for me. (90% SOLVED)

Update: 4/13
I was just able to figure it out and for the most part. The basic problem is that my network mode was stuck on GSM/WCDMA. Here is the solution:
1. go to settings/more.../mobile networks/network operators.
2. Once you click network operators, it should start searching automatically. If nothing comes up, then hit "search networks". FYI, sometimes, it decides to act wonky, so you'll have to exit out and come back in to get it to work. Eventually, it'll show you carriers in the area. Being an AT&T customer in Philadelphia. I saw three results. The first two were AT&T. The last one was T-Mobile. I don't think there is a difference in the AT&T options, but I just clicked the first one.
3. Once that's finished. Go back to the "mobile networks" menu and click on "network mode" and change your preferred network mode to LTE/GSM/CDMA.
4. The last step is change your APN. In the "mobile networks" menu, click on Access Point Names. Click on ATT LTE pta. Scroll to the bottom and click on APN Type. Change that to default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hip. Then hit okay. Hit File and Save. Then just select the circle next to ATT LTE pta. To be honest, just selecting ATT LTE PTA might be all that's necessary. You might not have to edit it.
Now, here's the catch. All of this stuff resets (with the exception of the edited APN) when you restart your phone. But it does work everytime.[/COLOR]
So, I just got the skyrocket (AT&T in Philadelphia) and have the 03-24 nightly on it. But for some reason, I can't get LTE to turn on. I've played with the different APN's. I've flashed the at&t radio on Chopstick's webpage, but no dice. I'm only getting H+.
I even called AT&T to make sure my data plan was LTE provisioned.
The only thing I can think of is that the ROM currently cannot change preferred network mode and mine is stuck on GSM/WCDMA preferred?
Please help.

OT but where in Philly? I'm a NE transplant from SW.
Additionally, I'm on the Rogers rom and have LTE so def not AT&T.

Which radio or baseband version is it?

How old is your SIM card?
When I got my Skyrocket, all network modes except LTE worked.
It ended up being an older version of a sim card that didn't support LTE.
Swapped out for a new one...no issues since.

I doubt that's the problem. I actually flashed back to Stock this morning and LTE worked great. I had speeds around 35mbps. However when I restored the backup of the CM10.1 rom, same issue. Only gettings H+ and speeds around 2mpbs.
THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!!!! I don't get it. Am I really the only person with CM10.1 not getting LTE? It doesn't make any sense.

Would you kindly answer these questions so that I may ascertain whatever is it I'm doing wrong?
1. Are you using an AT&T Skyrocket? or is one from Rogers/others?
2. Are you using the official CM10.1? Which build?
3. What your baseband version?
4. What APN are you using?
5. In the mobile network settings/preferred network mode dialog in settings, what option is checked?
The only thing I can think of is that the preferred network mode for me is stuck on GSM/WCDMA preferred?

Would you kindly just check your preferred network mode for me? In case you don't know, it's on settings/more/mobilenetworks/networkmode.
And just to confirm, you are getting LTE with the 4G Signal notifier, correct?

How to make my N5 to show LTE indicator instead of 4G?

I have been searching for this but all ended up discussing LTE is not the same as 4G, well i know you can do this by using xposed + gravitybox but... is there another way to make this possible?
I want to see LTE instead of 4G. I use cataclysm last stable and also using some pro-layers

you can only change that with exposed or a custom rom that has that edited

Nope, stock ROM for me shows 4G, but technically I am on LTE.

It depends on where you are or what variant of the Nexus 5 you have. I suppose if you're in Europe and you have the D821, you'll get the 4G icon, if you're in the US and you have the D820, you'll get the LTE icon.

I dont know if its D820 or 821 but yes im in EU.
So there is no way to do it? Just GB or rom-related?

Ok it is D821 and im in EU so yes it will show 4G unless i use xposed + gravitybox
The problem is i dont want to use GB because it makes me feel my battery life is a lot worse than just cataclysm, i dont know if it is cataclysm+gb combo or what but i get a lot of system UI wakelocks while using it
Anyways thanks for your replies guys

No LTE on T-Mobile with S7

Since purchasing this phone about a month ago, I haven't had LTE. I checked my SIM in my wife's iPhone 6s and it pulled LTE. My t-mobile rep said they know about the issue and quickly set me up for a warranty exchange. Anyone else have this issue? If it's a known issue, why isn't anyone else talking about it?
Can you guys confirm that the S7 has a designated stock LTE icon? Mine always says 4G and Ookla says my download/upload are 7.5 and 12.2 respectfully.
EDIT: latest firmware, no case on device, in Lemoore, CA., no known outages

Vise versa actually. My SIM pulled LTE on her iPhone. Her SIM in my S7 only got 4G, just like my SIM does in it.

I haven't seen it but it sounds like it could be an incorrect APN setting. But I would have thought they would have you check that.

We checked the APN and even made another with T-mobiles settings manually inputted. Still nothing. The new phone comes Thursday. I will see if it's the phone, the service, or there really isn't an issue and where I live just sucks.

My Tmobile S7 never says LTE either. It always says 4G. I downloaded the LTE Discovery app from the Play Store and it clearly states that I am connected to the LTE network. It shows the signal strength, channel and tower I'm connected to. Hope that helps.

You guys are joking right? You're using Good Lock which uses the stock Google System UI icons. 4G = LTE

No one was joking, and to comment with guns-a-blazing with the goal of offending someone isn't what this place is about. My area is suffering a congestion issue, so my LTE is still spotty. But at least I know that there is a designated LTE icon.

I do not know closest cross streets but putting just Lemoore, CA 93245 in search on the Sensorly website 4G is in surrounding areas but solid coverage is only for 3G. Check on the website and put in your cross streets. Looking on the Root Metrics coverage map shows 4G LTE.

Isn't 4g and lte the same thing?

Not really. LTE doesn't fully satisfy the requirements of a 4th generation GPRS. It is getting there, though. @42freelancer, I hope you don't do a warranty exchange over a UI bug. Do some speed tests and real use (Youtube, etc) to see what sort of service you're getting. The stock Samsung firmware for the S6 says 4G, not LTE...
