no 4g on metro plan in 95023 Zip code - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

i just got a s2 i727 and came from the lg motion i had no problems with 4g speeds in my town with the lg ..my s2 is unlocked and rooted with ucli3 modem,and aokp rom andriod version 4.0.4...i work in san jose and have 4g great speedswith the s2 but at home i get e on top bar...can someone poin me in the right direction..am i using a outdated modem?wrong rom?never had issues with my lg motion....

Yes your radio/modem file is old buy not a deal breaker. Try using UCMC1.(read up on it here on xda all your answers are here).
Another thing you'd wanna make sure you get right is APN settings for your carrier.
Go on GSMARENA.COM and find skyrocket, check out the frequencies I believe it has lte 4,17 so I don't know which one metro uses but you can find a wiki on that too so you know once you've taken care of modem and APN settings whether there is physical band incompatibility present.

Infuse + T959V modem = TMOUS Compatible?

Hi,
I've really been looking around to get myself a new phone to use on tmobile.
I was just wondering if using a T959V modem on an infuse would bring the ability to use tmobile's 1700mhz HSPA bands.
lemme know if you any of you guys are doing this.
Thanks,

I know the modem can disable certain talk freqs but I think because T-Mobile data freqs are so unique to tmo that other phones just don't support them. it could also be in the ril or even antenna tuning. I've never counted it out but figured someone would have had it figured out by now. I don't feel like getting a tmo sim card just to try it out.

No, it's a hardware limitation, not software/firmware, you'll only be able to utilize EDGE data/gsm.

might be a while before I try so don't hold your breath...
the thing that is weird is good devs have said it'll never happen. what bothers me is the ril,and modem both work and the chip is the same. now Im no expert on wireless or antenna design but antennas can be tuned and its posible there are separate antennae for different freqs not just differt types of connection. there may also be something else needed to support T-Mobile aws but I have a hard time believing its a hardware dependency and not a firmware/framework dependency other than the antenna just being inefficient... but there may be some supporting chip or something. nobody really knows. all we can do is use as much T-Mobile firmware as possible and hope its not a kernel dependency or hardware. I know I don't have the skills for the kernel and if its hardware its a waist of time.
So as for now there is no progress on this field?
Do not really want to change my Infuse especially when there are no good phones for TMobile except HTC One S(((

What rom and kernel combo are you using

With all the development and new roms which combo are you using? I'm currently on nexus mod 4 stock UCLA 3 2.3.6 kernel getting outstanding battery life.
On NexusMOD 4 and was on romracers stockish0.3
just switched to faux010m UV-75 and UC to 1.4. Gonna see how that runs
I tried the faux kernel uv and uc but the silver stock ucla kernel is amazing for me with heavy usage
I would use juggernaught 5.0

I'm using Sky-ICS on the 2.6.35.11+ kernal. Pretty decent battery life, although I am not in a LTE area so I'm not sure how that would be on the battery. ROM is fast, smooth, and pretty customizable.

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.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G
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

Hate to brake it to you, but At&t IS LTE, not just spiced up 4g. Why do you think they have to have an LTE radio to receive it.

Please Help with Telus LTE and this phone

Please If anyone could direct me to the answer I'd be eternal grateful. here is my issue and I'm not the only one with it there are a few of us.
Bought a Rogers HTC ONE X on launch day Unlocked it and hooked it up to the Telus network. right from the begining the phone would not connect to the Telus LTE network for what ever reason I doen know it should be compatible.
I've bounced around from every rom in this forum some would let me phone connect to LTE but only 10mbps download until I cam across KingCobra 1.2 based on Asia 1.88 (other roms at the same time were based from this same build) with this rom and the included V6 supercharger in the aroma installer my LTE came to life and my download speeds were 25-55mbps depending on the area I was in.
Here is my Question what is it about that rom that got my phone to connect to the Telus LTE network with thoes speeds??????????
Here is some of the stuff I've tried
V6 Supercharger - I've installed it with other roms of the same and different bases but still no luck.
Radios - I've flashed every radio and radio + Ril but still no luck getting it to work
Roms - tried every rom in here with different combinations and still no luck
Could there be something special about the telus rom files for it to conect to there LTE network? Does anyone have a Telus RUU I can try flashing to my phone to see if that helps?
I'm at my wits end with this problem and its driving me to the point where I'm thinking about selling my One X and getting the SIII and I hate samsung phones lol
You probably just need to enter the Telus APN. Turge lives in Canada so his ROMs might already include the Telus APN. This would explain why the KingCobra1X ROM would work but others won't. A quick google search should give you the APN settings.

Have you contacted TELUS technical support to ensure your account is LTE provisioned?
To provision, you require a V3 SIM Card, an LTE compatible plan (they should all be), and an LTE compatible phone.
There are a "rare few" that don't get provisioned automatically, DNA support can assist with this.
Have you tested your LTE SIM in another LTE phone? This would show if it is account related, network related, or possibly your hardware related.
As WorldIRC said you need to tell Telus you need LTE enabled on your account.
That being said I haven't done that with Rogers yet either but I've realized HSPA+ has been perfectly fine for me especially since I only have 500mb data plan.
Yes I have a v3 sim from Telus and my account is LTE enabled. I have contacted customer support and they tell me everything is fine at there end. Like I said it works perfectly on the KingCobra 1.2 rom. That tells me that it's not my network/plan or my hardware
I'm not the only one with this issue I know of at least 3 people with the same setup (unlocked Rogers phone on Telus network) Turge (dev behind the KingCobra rom) being one of them.
Even Turge can't figure it out that I know of. When he changed the base of his rom to 2.23 it broke the LTE for us if we did a full wipe but everyone else is ok.
It's really puzzling and I've spent all day messing with the Build.Prop in clean rom using settings from the V6 supercharger, from the king cobra rom what ever I could think of. Best I could come up with was
Phone connected to LTE but download was 10mbps and upload was 25mbps this is the best I can get on any rom other than KingCobra

You can +1 with another Unlocked Rogers HOX on Telus with the same problem. I always thought it might have been a Toronto thing, but now hearing you comment about this there must be something Telus does...perhaps to force you to buy their phones.
I don't think I'm going to give up on the HOX, I love this machine to death. Secretly I'm hoping someone will leak the stock Telus ROM so I can flash out of the stock Rogers ROM. I've recently updated to the latest Rogers Stock, and still same problem. LTE dl speeds capped around 10...
Lemmee know if you find a better solution than using KingCobra, I'm dying to see what true LTE feels like =P
Cheers!!!

I'm using a Telus One X....I haven't rooted / custom ROM'ed it yet...but contemplating doing so for LTE test purposes.
Right now, bone stock, I hit a max of 47mbit down today at Vaughan Mills; with an average of 20-25 mbit today.

I was never personally a fan of LTE even after I got my HOX, so losing it really didn't kill me. I am on the Telus network with a Telus HOX. I will revert back to my stock setup and see if I can pull anything out of it that is different from my current setup (CleanROM 4.5). IMO, 10mbps is plenty fast enough in everyday use, blows all my iJunk buddies out of the water anyways =p. Will report back.

SGH-T727 has no high speed data!? Help please?

Hello. This may be a redundent problem and question thats been asked many times im sure. My in advance apoligies for I am new to this whole rooting and reprogramming with modified os andriod systems. I have a problem and if anyone can help or guide me in the proper directions, I would so greatly appreciate it. Let me first share what I have and what my issue is. Then any info you mau have I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
I have a att version samsung galaxy s2 Sgh-t727 skyrocket. I have factory unlocked it to use with my current local carrier Cincinnati Bell. It works with cin bell just fine in making calls. However, at best the internet is only E or G. I do have all apn settings correct. I think the problem is in the radio frequency there is a difference between the 2 service providers on thier technology way of connecting to 3 and 4g. Cinbell uses umts, wcdma, hspa and hsdpa with a bandwith of 1700 and 2100 mghz frequency connections. This att uses lte I believe. So since theres no lte service in my area offered, I believe the phone reverts to Edge gsm at best. Cincinnati Bell uses the same technology as T-Mobile as ive been told and they share the same towers in this region of ohio Kentucky and indiana. So with that said, is it possible this particular phone has all the proper connections and bandwiths but is locked to the original provider of the phone....being att in this case? And if it dont have all the proper frequency and bandwiths, then how do I flash it with T-Mobile radio signals and network technology so it can run using 3 and 4g speeds? Any help I would greatly appreciate. Thanks so much. Everyone have a great weekend.

I'd try some T-Mobile radios. See vincom's stickies.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Search for the following radios and try them :
I757MUGMC5
UVMC6
UVMB1
Try one after the other... Flash in cwm or twrp recoveries.Wipe cache after each radio flash and see what radio can give you the best results..
Wait on each radio for some time (let's say 15min) after reboot to settle down...
Double check your APN settings..
Your issue is exactly like somebody wants to use skyrocket on T-Mobile.. There's is big thread discussing that matter in the general section...
Good luck..
PS:Sometimes using a T-Mobile T989 rom probably would give you higher rates of success, especially your issue is the AWS bands in HSPA+
PS2:As a disclaimer , you're the only one who's responsible for any damages that may happen to your device , especially when dealing with radio and kernel , and as a side note , why Cincci Bell ? unless you have a strong reason (price,reception,etc..) I would think about T mobile itself , they are doing a good job in both expanding their LTE network as well as expanding their refamred 1900MHz spectrum which makes usage of stock AT&T radios possible , I use my Skyrocket on T mobile and get their LTE reception on UCMC1 without the hassle of trying radios and what not ...

[Q] T-Mobile speeds on i727 running t989 ROM

I know, I know, I know, This topic sounds redundant but I've been searching and can't seem to find any specific info regarding my question.
I'm thinking about getting a Skyrocket and I know you can run t989 ROMs on the Skyrocket and I know the Skyrocket runs on T-mobile 3G/LTE. But my question is this: With a Skyrocket running a t989 based ROM can you get LTE and HSPA+DC 4G on T-Mobile? I've found more than enough sources of folks running CM ROMs or att based ROMs and getting 3G/LTE but I need the WiFi-calling feature that is only found on t989 based ROMs. Any help would be great!
BUMP!! I very much want to do the same. LTE on T989 ROM.

I think have answer for you and I think it's a no. At least for NYC. I know the LTE band uses the band that would occupy the band need in order to get the DC-HSPA speeds.
What that means is if you want LTE you can't have DC-HSPA since If I think they occupy the same band. and honeslty for me it doesn't matter since I have LTE in NY and it fastest than most home internet connections!

I can get the DC-HSPA+ in my home town...FINALLY but when I go to Phoenix I'd love to be on the LTE and I work in a canyon where no body works so I need the wifi-calling in the t989 ROM and don't want to shell out the coin for an S3 or S4 which is why I'm thinking about the S2 Skyrocket

Yeah honestly since you're with t-mobile. If you can get a tmobile branded S3, just for the LTE and WiFi calling, you would be better off IMO. The S4 isn't much of an upgrade to me. mostly software with a bigger screen if you ask me.
Hope that helps and give me a thanks if it does!

Are you going to use the t989 ROM because it is faster?

Sorry, just saw your reply. I'm using the t989 ROM because it has WiFi-Calling.
