Skyrocket i727 with Tmobile at LTE/4G Speeds

Guys,
I just noticed my SGII gets LTE Mobile network type at work today. Below is my what I have.
Unlocked ATT Skyrocket i727
[ROM][OFFICIAL][CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightlies for Skyrocket] Build 0609
RADIO UCMC1
You don't need expensive TMobile iPhone 5 to get LTE speed.
Good luck and have fun!!

What's you location ?

Dallas Campbell, TX I think T-Mobile just have their network re-farm done here recently.
See HERE for the re-farm map.

Thank you. I live in Lewisville but my cousin told me all the Carlton area he was getting LTE. Do you also get 3g or HSPA+ because on mine i get 3g for sometime then i have no signal at all. i have click on 2g network only to get signal. Also which APN are you using?

Thank you. And one more question if i do this
You can use *#*#4636#*#* to change your preferred network type. I am using LTE/GSM auto (PRL)
Will i get both lte and 3g/hspa because i'm stuck at Edge but i know my area have good service. Because on my mom's iphone 3g it does have 3g signal it uses 1900 mhz

There messing with the 4g as I type this in warren/Detroit Michigan not yet strong enough to get a speed test. will update
Edit: here's lte

Sure you can get LTE/HSPA+/HSPA/3G(UMTS)/EDGE with that depends on how strong the T-Mobile signal is at your location.

Yeah. I tried everything but no luck. My cousin had lte on his iPhone at my house. My s1 have 3g/h on it running 1900 mhz. I'm stuck on 2g or just no signal at all

Does it stay on the Network type when you change it? Is 'use only '2G networks' option enabled on your Mobile network settings?
Try to flash to another RADIO and flash back to UCMC1 on CWM. If it still doesn't work, flash to stock AT&T ROM and make sure you can get other than EDGE speed and then flash CM 10.1.
Good luck.

Thank you. I'll Do As you say Tommorow. Eariler when i flashed 10.1 on this phone i had 3g/hspa but after half day i got pushed back to edge. After that i never got 3g/hspa. I have to check the 2g Networks only if i don't my phone won't get any signal.

That explains why you get EDGE 2 because of that. I suggest you to diable 'use only '2G networks' option and to flash [RADIO][UXUMA7] For I727/I727R on CWM to see if can get HSPA+/3G first after that.

Still stuck on Edge. I tried *#*#4636#*#* method but still no luck.

Sounds like you do need to flash the ROMs like I have suggested.

I'm on cm 10.1 regular cyanogen and did flash ucmc1 but still no luck.

Getting LTE speeds on mine unrooted and not flashed. On fast t-mobile APN.

Surprising to find a rocket still on GB !!! lol
Good speeds you're getting.,

Yeah. I notice that too.
I did get utms signal but couldn't access data.

Yea, looks like CM 10.1 should be nearing a stable release soon so I'll root it then. I'm coming from a HTC Glacier since the devs decided to stop supporting it.
One thing's for sure though, LTE tends to burn through my battery. I hope it gets better once it's rooted.
Did you get better reception when you flashed the i757m radio?

I am running Embryo 6.11 (JB 4.1.2) ROM using T-Mobile's SIM, and was able to get LTE using both the UCMC1 and UXUMA7 radios. However, the phone defaults to EDGE when outside of the LTE area, instead of switching to HSPA+/HSPA 3G. Using *#*#4636#*#*, my network selector is set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM. I would have to manually set it to WCDMA only to pick up HSPA+/HSPA. Then when I toggle back to LTE/WCDMA/GSM, the radio picks up HSPA+/HSPA. Hope this helps!

3g on ATT with Galaxy Relay?

So, my phone is rooted and unlocked.I pop in my sim card, put in access point info that was in my old phone that got 3g (desire z/g2) and I only get edge. Am I missing a step? Did Tmobile block att bands for 3g use in the USA?

I figured it out. Network mode was set to GSM. When it was switched to GSM/WCDMA 4g came in great. Not sure why that would be, as ATT uses GSM only, but there you go for anyone that's searching. :good:

Do you mean 3G came in when you switched to GSM/WCDMA? Its my understanding this phone, despite its name, can't actually get 4G but rather a somewhat faster version of 3G when 4G is switched on (online it seems to have the unofficial title of 3.5G).

As i understand it what the phone companies call 4g is not quite actually 4g. Its 2 channels of 3g which gives a net speed in the 4g range. But 4g lte is actually a 4g connection, which the relay doesn't have.

Meaning the Relay 4G won't be able to access AT&T's 4G connection.
I'm more concerned with it being able to access AT&T's 3G connection. There isn't enough 4G LTE coverage for me to really be concerned with a phone that can't access it. In 2 years times, YEAH, but for now, no, I just want decent 3G.

It shouldn't have a problem, as long as it's unlocked and you've set up your APN properly. I've moved my T-Mobile service to an LTE-capable LG Optimus F3, and put an H2O Wireless SIM into the Relay (H2O is an MVNO that uses AT&T's network). AT&T's HSPA+ works fine on my Relay.
The labeling of HSPA+ as "4G" was pure marketing BS; T-Mobile started with that, and AT&T followed suit. I suppose that dual-carrier HSPA+ reaches into 4G territory from a speed standpoint, but I've never seen DC-HSPA+ outside of T-Mobile's network.

I've seen H20 at Best Buy, for some reason I thought it was an MVNO of T-Mobile. I was going to go with the AT&T GoPhone.

I've read about T-Mobile's marketing "trick" but I didn't realize AT&T did something similar.
Well like I said, once I get this phone I should be fine for a good 2 years just using 3G and data. That should give the market time to catch up in the 4G department, by which time I'll be ready to move on to another phone anyway. Thanks for the info. :good:

Yes, "H+" (aka 42Mbps 3G) works fine on the Relay with AT&T Go Phone. It's what my wife is using, and it works fine. Faster than my 21Mbps HTC One X on Go Phone.

No way do I want to swap my HOX for a Relay, just saying her 3G is markedly faster than mine.

T-Mobile no LTE

I had trouble activating my SIM earlier. It did not want to activate when i did initial set up on the device. So I skipped thinking that i can activate it after set up. So for about an hour it would not connect to T-Mobiles network, then it finally did, with bad signal. All i am able to get is mainly 3G and H data signal, no LTE/4G like i am paying for.
has anyone had a similar problem before? Do you think this can be a bad SIM? Any help is appreciated.

Sorry to hear about your problem my phone isn't here yet so I can not give insights yet but will let you know if anything arises

Getting the same problem here, not getting LTE only H... this is my first time with a LTE phone so maybe my area doesn't have LTE, going to Uni tmrw and see if i get LTE there (which is should)
I like in Central Jersey so don't know if they have LTE there, i am pretty sure they have it in Northern Jersey, specially the Newark, Jersey City, NYC area's

U have lte in your area?

Try setting your APN to fast.t-mobile.com instead of epc.t-mobile.com

Yes. You can do a zip code search on there coverage. My zip is 37075 its got great coverage. I feel its a SIM problem.

T-Mobile does NOT have nationwide LTE so theres no guarantee that you actually have LTE where you are. Best to make sure of that before you do anything else.
And just so you know, their coverage site does not distinguish between LTE and HSPA+ since they consider both 4G.

No LTE here on a new T-Mobile account. My roommate has it on his S4. I'm hoping it just takes time to provision. Using fast.t-mobile.com

i get lte anywhere i go..im in miami

LTE is not a huge deal as long as I get HSPA+ its fast where I am. It shows Excellent coverage in my area, so yes I may not get Real LTE, but i should get good HSPA+ and cell service. Right?

Try setting the preferred network to LTE. No clue if this will work on a Nexus 5, but it works on a Nexus 4. Even with the appropriate hacks, I only get LTE in my area when I do the following.
1. Enter *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer
2. Go to "Phone information"
3. Change the "Set preferred network type:" dropdown to "LTE only".

LTE started working after about 4 hours after setting up my new T-Mobile account.

Yep. Thats why you got LTE. Still Rolling out in my area. I am actually not upset about it. The HSPA+ is pretty dang good.

My N5 flips between HSPA+ and LTE pretty much without rhyme or reason. Interestingly, HSPA+ is about as fast down most of the time, but of course LTE is faster uploading.

[Q] Will the Verizon HTC ONE M8 works on AT&T?

Hi there,
I just got my verizon htc one m8 but I was wondering will this phone works with at&t sim card? Can I receive AT&T 4G LTE signals?
Any helps are welcomed.
Thanks in advance.

No, the verizon m8 runs on the CDMA network whereas the ATT m8 runs on GSM. Sorry man

All in where ya live I guess and which provider you have. Sometimes my HSPA+ is quicker than my T-Mobile Lte...

I'm thinking about using an upgrade on a flip phone I have on Verizon to get this phone.
How hard would it be to get it to work on Straight Talk and since they use AT&T's network, would I be able to get HSPA+ too?

hspa and hspa+
hspa is 3g 850mhz 1.5mbps tops and hspa+ is "4g" 1900mhz 5-20mpbs tops which is really like a 3.9g theres a story behind this but im only answering the question which is which so pretty much this device is ready for either bands just check who's got those bands and you are ready to go ohh by the way no LTE if it isnt with verizon peace im out im batmaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

Because Verizon’s 4G LTE devices use SIM cards, that means many of them (the global-ready ones, anyway) are compatible with the regular 3G/2G GSM bands used everywhere else in the world (no LTE, however). When traveling, simply pop in a prepaid SIM card, configure the APN settings with the network you’ll be using the phone on, and boom. You’re up and running on 3G. Same goes for AT&T in the US (again, no LTE because of incompatible bands).

It does get AT&T LTE, I have a GoPhone account with AT&T and get LTE with my M8. Only in some areas, get about 70% hspa, and LTE the rest, just depends on your location and the AT&T LTE bands used in your area, but the M8 does get LTE

Verizon M8 on At&t/Cricket

I have rooted and s-off. Used the guide to enable additional bands. I used NV values 65626 and could get LTE in some areas but not in others. I'm starting to think it's radio related. Any suggestions?

what bands, specifically, did you enable?

Bands 2, 4, 5 and 17. I'm located in the Raleigh Durham area of NC. When it was connected to LTE I used the LTE discovery app and confirmed the uplink and downlink freqs. 1900/2100 if memory serves me correctly.

Currently using the VZW M8 on Cricket. I'm getting HSDPA but no LTE.
But I have no complaints. Phone is awesome and mobile data is working flawlessly.

Yes it's radio related. Verizon and ATT do not use all the same frequencies and bands.

Hi,
I tried to read any info about it. But I don't know....
Here is my theory: The Google Play edition (GPe) is open to any LTE channels. I know that you can turn the verizon M8 into GPe M8... (I don't know if the phone can operate on Verizon after all :S )
So hopefully that can work, but I NEVER TRIED IT!
So If some GURU can help us that would be grate. And also a "How to" -from the very beginning ( Stock rom, s-on, non rooted, etc) would be nice too.
Thank you
Ps.: I was only modifying Samsung, Sony, Motorola, Zte before. This HTC "magic" is totally new for me

I am in Virginia. Right now using a stock Verizon M8 and I do get AT&T LTE signal( download speed is around 10M, upload is 7M. Phone info said the network is LTE).
I guess my area using band 4 for AT&T LTE.
I am considering enable band 17. If you are available, maybe you should share some thoughts of your Band-unlockin process and your LTE signal situation.
Thank you.

Most of the ATT guys are clueless, not matter they are in store or over the phone. Just ignore them.
All you need is get an att nano sim card, put it in your verizon m8. Boom! You could text and call now!
And then you need to edit APN settings to get data working. Go to settings, Mobile data, Network settings, GCM/UMTS Options, Access point names, and add a new APN:
Name ATT Phone
APN phone
Proxy Not set
Port Not set
Username Not set
Password Not set
Server Not set
MMSC http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS proxy proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port 80
MCC 310
MNC 410
Authentication Type None
APN type default,mms,supl,hipri
APN protocol IPv4
Bearer Unspecified
save this APN and select it to use. Wait 30 sec to 1 minutes, Boom, you would have H+ or 4G LTE depending your location. For most area you would get H+.
You don't even need to root !

im on edge slow slow slow

I get HSPA+ on my stock M8. My APN is "phone"

I have GoPhone account with AT&T and I get LTE in some areas, nothing done to my phone, stock Verizon m8, apn set to nxtgenphone , I get HSPA most of the time, but I do get LTE in some locations here
