So I'm switching over to AT&T, and I was wondering what is the best ROM for using GSM? I tried BeanStalk, but I couldn't pull any AT&T to my phone. I'd keep Verizon if their prepaid offered LTE, but sadly, it doesn't so I'm switching to a free and open network.
Help me get a good ROM on here!
I'd like to know too. Currently running LiquidSmooth, and my data keeps turning off and sometimes works. It's really a nuisance.

Do any of you have any experience using this custom rom on your Rogers SGS2 LTE? After installing this, I'm not able to connect to LTE...it seems to be stuck in 4G no matter where I go in the city (BTW, I'm in Vancouver). I've even tried to flash the stock Rogers radio onto my phone and played around with the band settings..but still the same thing. When I restore back to my stock rom, I'm able to get LTE speeds.
What am I missing?
Thanks!

Are you actually running speed tests, or are you just going by the icons? BuoyAOSPsy has an unfortunate tendency to give the same "H" symbol for LTE and HSPA+. Working on fixing it in the next build.
Thanks jomeister15! I just ran a speedtest...and you are absolutely correct about the LTE icon not showing up correctly. It just seems to be stuck on 4G even though I'm on the LTE network. Looking forward to the next build =) Very nice rom so far!
Hi, since I got my Galaxy s3, I'm always roaming. I didn't have to stray too far away from the store before the roaming started to happen. It seems that if I do not have 3g, or 4g I'm constantly roaming. I have read on here that there is a way to fix the always roaming issue, but I didn't know if it applied to flashing a bad rom and then getting the always on roaming message. Mine has been like this since day 1 when I bought the phone at completely stock settings. I recently flashed CleanROM, and still have the always on roaming messages.
Should I attempt to use this application, or would I risk doing something terrible to the phone?
what prl do you have? any just to make sure what carrier?
Different prl's can cause it to roam. You may can pull battery and sim and sdcard, wait 30 sec or so reinstall any boot. Then check prl again, see if it changes.

What is PRL? I do have Verizon. .. I also have a nationwide plan, so I know for certain I'm not being charged for roaming, it just shows that I am all the time.
"HOME-ONLY roam setting on touch wiz roms like on CM based roms
New to posting on here, so be patient... I have been flashing roms however since the Motorola droid 1 and love the mods we can do to our phones. Now I have a Samsung Galaxy S3, flashed to CleanRom, newest version as of this date. I love the battery life on this Rom but work near the Mexican border where it easily switches to roaming. My question is that on CM roms I'm able to go into roaming settings and select either Automatic (default) or Home Only which will prevent anything but a Verizon signal. Works awesome. I don't know why this is unique to CM or AOSP roms and not touch wiz. Is there a way we can have that added or even an app that will do that very thing? Sometimes I have to just backup my rom and flash CM just to use my phone without roaming on to the Mexican cell tower. It's very frustrating. Thanks for any advice.
If this needs to be in its own thread, could someone let me know and help me out with that?
Thanks, Scott.

I have a verizon gs3 that is rooted, running beanstalk 4.4.251-20140301-d2lte. I can't get LTE to work correctly. I can get LTE to turn on if I change my 'preferred network type' to LTE/GSM/WCDMA, but then I have no verizon signal (voice signal). When I have it on 'global', I can get 3G and verizon signal, but never any LTE.
This has been going on for quite some time. I've switched between all of the 'preferred network types' but its always 4G and no cell signal, or 3G with cell signal. I used to be on CM 11 nightlies, thought that might be the issue. I switched to Beanstalk, but have the same issue. Just yesterday, I updated my firmware from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788313
Is there something obvious that I'm missing?

I have the EXACT same issue, so you're not alone! Unfortunately, I have no answer for this either.
I was running CM11 (just the stable releases), started noticing lack of LTE a few weeks ago, decided to give SlimKat a try. The ROM is damn near flawless besides this LTE issue. I could actually never get it go into LTE mode through the normal settings, it would always fall back to 3G (and I'm in the middle of a capital city where there's plenty of 4G coverage). However, if I did that *#*#4636#*#* trick to go into testing mode, I could force it into "LTE Only", at which point the phone would be in LTE mode, and enjoy the blazing fast data speeds I pay for .... but can no longer make phone calls.
Anyone else out there experienced this or something similar? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
After doing some research on it, I decided to flash back to stock and unroot. After that, I still could not get 4G, so I took it into the verizon store. I told him the problem, and that I had heard that it needed a new sim card. After doing some simple test, he burned a sim card for me and that did it! I'm thinking that soon after I flashed a CM11 nightly (a month ago at least) I dialed *228 to update my cell coverage. I think that might have fried it. I have limited knowledge on this topic, but I did read somewhere that dialing *228 on some custom roms is not good.
It would be nice if you could take it in to the store without flashing back to stock, but I'm not sure if they would go for that or not.

Ah!! I dialed *228 too! Ok, that's gotta be it. Thanks!
Hey Everyone,
I have searched multiple threads and google for an answer to fix the Droid Maxx issue on ATT. Whenever I put the phone on global it works fine for about 20mins getting HSPA+ then all the sudden tries to pick up 4GLTE and the phone stops working no data no phones. So I end up having to switch airplane mode on and off to get it to work again for another 20mins. I can only get it to work when I have it on LTE/GSM/UMTS and I only accept GSM networks which then sticks me on EDGE only. I tried putting in APN settings for ATT and still get the same results when its on global or GSM/UMTS both selected. Ive read everywhere that it works fine on ATT and Tmobile GSM HPSA+ Networks which it does until it tries to go onto 4G LTE network. Any advice would be great thanks!
Hmmm So I continued to look for a solution and it seems 4.4 has issues with LTE on GSM carriers. I found a nice little app that lets me turn off LTE and I am able to get HPSA+ again and no issues with calls/messages. I guess until a fix comes out I wont be able to get LTE but no biggy the battery life on the Maxx makes up for it. I could always root it and go down to 4.2 I have found some posts that said it works.
Is it fully updated?

I've been using my Maxx on Cricket (AT&T towers) for a while and I'll get LTE when I first boot up the phone but after maybe 5 minutes it'll go to HSPA+ and stay there until I reboot again. Kind of weird but I haven't had any data issues period.
Hello!
I seem to not be able to get mobile data with ANY custom rom I have tried except HavocOS on my Moto X4 with sprint, HavocOS seems to get really slow 3G.
I did a bit of searching the forums here and see a few posts saying its impossible to get anything but 3G on sprint with a custom rom.
I installed LineageOS but I don't even get 3G. I tried HavocOS and I get 3G but it doesn't display sprint in the top corner it says something like 30001.
Why is it so hard to get data working on sprint? If I restore the stock rom i get 4G LTE. Am I doing something incorrectly or is it really impossible to get working data on sprint?
