I've been scouring the internet trying to find a solution. I've been wanting this for a while. I did my research to figure out which model of the G pro2 worked with AT&T. It arrives and now nothing. I'm only getting G not 3g or LTE. I am a bit new to smart phones. I've tried everything I can think of. Am I using the wrong apn settings? Is there something in the band selection menu I'm missing. I'm at a complete loss what am I doing wrong?
In Dialer 5754#*350# and activate your Bands or 5457#*350#
Still no dice
I've gone into the menu and specifically selected the required bands but still not dice. I went into the lte band selection menu. Is there another menu I should go into?

I have yet to root my phone I am a bit of a newb when it comes to things like this. I do plan on rooting it and giving it a Skin that has a lot more english. I have done this I selected bands 17 and 5 for lte and 850, 1900 for wcdma and gsm. In the Band Selection Menu. Should I be doing anything with WCDMA Channel, LTE Channel, WCDMA Security, RAT mode, RRC Version, SMS MO Domain, Service Domain, any specific APN setting what is it on your wife's phone, EF file edit, HSPDA category, HSUPA category, GCF Test, OEM RAD Settings, SKT Auto Test, IRS Setting, CA Setting, LTE 3GPP Rel. VER. or anything else I am missing?
I've determined that my phone is a very good fake
IDK if this is real issue but if some does have this problem and comes up with a solution. Please post it here I was beyond frustrated and hope this problem can be solved for someone.
Try going back to 4.4 and using LTE
Try taking your phone to an AT&T store and explain it to them. They will install a new SIM card and associate it with your IMEI #. Then you will have LTE!

I'm sitting in front of a Tmo store waiting for them to open and see where that goes. Hey guys how's battery life with this device. For what ever reason when I did put a Tmo sim in this phone it got only 3g now the chip was a nano from my nexus 6 using a quality adapter but holy crap I've never seen a phone eat a better like Godzilla. Hell it killed the device in like 3hrs. Although when removing the sim it seems to go normal using just WiFi connection. Very strange device behavior. Does this phone have bad battery life in its normal state? Since I am a huge "Big Screen" fanatic I would probably just get the extended battery from the Japan guys on amazon. Your thoughts?

1. You Should have an LTE Sim
2. LTE Data service Should be enabled on It.
3. You have correct APN settings From your Carrier
4. You should be in LTE Coverage Area
Now go to Hidden Menu of the Phone. 5457#*350#
in WCDMA Service Menu
1. Slecect WCDMA Channel and Slecect Full
2. In LTE Channel Select your Preffered band ( You should Knew your LTE band or ask from Carrier)
3. In Band Selection Select your bands or select automatic
4. In RAT Mode select automatic
5. Check mar APN Edit Function.
You can also increase RRC Version, HSDPA Category, HSUPA Category and LTE 3GPP Rel. Ver. if your carrier supports you can get higher speeds.
Reboot Again
Press the Thanx Button

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

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.

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?

I haven't been able to find a fix either, it might be my sim, slight chance cause i had it in mytouch 3g slide brand new and just switched over to the g2x
my phone will drop connection and then not reconnect. no voice, no data. (wifi still works)
what I've tried:
1. Different radios/firmware
2. different roms
3. different preferred network types
4. switching airplane mode on and off
what I haven't tried:
1. different sim
2. calling tmobile for suggestions
What else could cause this problem?
it could be a hardware issue
Hello,
I have the same issue than you !
I am facing issues such as call drop and no 3G data connection in some area in my region since I have 5 signal bar and H letter displayed (HSDPA connection)...
I have found a workaround consisting in:
1 - Switching to GSM Only mode (2G Only)
2 - Desabling Mobile Data Connection
Then it works, I can pass and receive voice call ...
Regards,
Nino
I'm new to the Sensation and having the exact same issue.
Followed the stickies in the Dev section to S-OFF, root and bypass SIM lock and then once the SIM card is inserted I get only GSM and no data.
If you use *#*#4636#*#* in the Dialer and go to Phone Information do you notice that it always switches to WCDMA preferred? I change to GSM/CDMA auto PRL like all my other Android devices (on Rogers Wireless) and it disconnects, reconnects but only for GSM and no data. It sometimes says it's connected to EDGE or HSPA but no icon at the top right and then it reverts back to GSM.
I have also tried flashing virtually every firmware, ensuring that the radio and RILs match (I had an HTC Desire Z so the HTC phones are not new to me entirely). I don't know what else to do. I tried a Bell SIM card and tried all of the same options to no avail.
I really hope someone can figure this out. I don't want to have destroyed a phone that I just bought for my wife. Her Atrix broke and I purchased that outright as well, so this is really killing my wallet. I've been through about 10 Android devices and I wouldn't say I'm a newb, but I really do feel like one right now. This sucks!
Get a new sim from tmo if it's over 2 phones old.

I did try every setting in there. The new sim card fixed it! So I guess our problems are different.
I got my Nexus 5 yesterday and finally got it working. I live right next to a LTE tower and I can't seem to get LTE.
1. Checked PRL
2 Checked Sim
3 Checked Profile
4. Called sprint
5. Checked network settings.
When i put the phone in airplane mode, and back off. It jumps to LTE for 2 seconds then 3g
Anyone having these issues ???
*manual re-fresh*
*#*#72786#*#*
after that, phone will reboot and "re-fresh network"
Also, my phone wen't into global mode, which you will need to change that back to LTE mode.
- Still isn't fixed ...
will report back ..
Manual Programming Code
*#*#675#*#*
edit: MDN = phone number
MSID: split
UPDATE
doing *#*#4636#*#* and selecting LTE only does indeed make LTE work both visually and functionally, with a loss of voice of course, but as soon as you go back to LTE/CDMA auto it'll require a reboot to take effect and LTE is once again not working.
(from sprint forums) - confirmed
I'm having these issues with Sprint as well. Thanks for your updates. I'll let you know if I learn anything.

Here is how I fixed it for myself on Sprint.
Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Network Mode
Change Network Mode from Global to LTE.
It will still connect to Evdo, ehrpd and Lte and switches between them as needed.
Luckily I haven't got hit with 1x since trying this out. My area has maybe one or two spots where I'd get 1x instead of ehrpd.
Settings hold after a reboot. I was driving to work today with my phone playing my music and it seemlessly switched between 3g and lte on it's own.

I guess so because I was having that same initial problem you were where LTE would connect for a few seconds then when I tried to do anything with data it stalled out and went to 3g.

Mine does that too.
BUT, nothing in the settings has been able to fix this.
How long since you activated? Mine would not connect to lte at all until last night... about 30 hours after activation.
Now it connects fine. I tried everything including flashing the modems posted in dev, swapping sims, trying every different network config and nothing worked except lte only mode which then kills 3g and voice.

I too am having the exact same problem as the OP. I can change the setting from Global to LTE and the phone will connect to LTE for a few seconds before switching back to 3g.
I am coming from the Note 3 on Sprint that got great LTE here at home, about 16mb down and 4mb up but I am hoping this gets resolved quick.
I'm on T-Mobile and it favors sticking on HSPA+ instead of LTE. If LTE gets down to one bar, the phone decides it's time to switch back. Compare this behavior to my Nexus 4 and it would stick on LTE come hell or high water. I would stay on LTE while in the office and this phone refuses to even get on LTE in the office. I don't get it.
Some have suggested this is a "power saving" feature, but I call BS on this because my Nexus 4 wasn't even intended to have its LTE radio used and LTE really didn't impact my battery. It felt like it lasted the same as it did before I enabled LTE on it.
Possible Sprint Fix
Customer: Is the SIM device specific? I reused the one from my Note 3. I have seen other information that the SIM's for the Nexus 5 are device specific.
Mitchell C.: Yes, you can get a SIM for the Nexus from a nearest Sprint store. I can fix an appointment for you.
Customer: so they are device specific?
Mitchell C.: Yes, they are.
Mitchell C.: We've come across a lot of these issues today.
Customer: SO just to be clear, I need to ask for a SIM for the Nexus 5?
Mitchell C.: Absolutely.
Customer: ok
Customer: that should correct my connectivity problem?
Mitchell C.: Yes, every service will work fine after you get it.

Well, I got my sim card from a sprint store 2 days ago and I am still having issues. I have been emailing sprint care but no luck.
I hope they fix this soon! Maybe they gave me the wrong SIM? Idk
Doubtful Mitchell knows what he is talking about. People have used HTC One SIMS and GS4 sims and have LTE. But, today is the big day the Sprint phones go on sale. Will be interesting to see if any of those people have the issue.

To follow up on the Nexus 5's "special" SIM card. I'm also skeptical about this. I'm using a SIM from a GS4 (part #: SIMGLW206R) which is the same SIM mentioned in this post about activating the Nexus 5 on Sprint: http://qbking77.com/google-nexus-5/activate-nexus-5-sprint/.
However, I called a nearby Sprint store to ask if they had any SIM cards available. They said yes but when I mentioned the Nexus 5 the representative seemed to think there was some additional procedure for coupling the phone and the SIM. I don't know any more about this. Could be misinformation of course.
Question for all people running Droids (Mini) on GSM networks. How is your reception? I have my Droid on my desk and the phone is saying 50% signal strength. My nokia next to it, on the same carrier is 100%. In my garage my nokia has a signal, my droid hasn't.
settings says UMTS = -90 dBm
Is this normal?
where do u live i think im having the same issues dont know why

Europe... When I turn data ON, then the settings says GSM signal about 80%, but notice the icon on top right corner is still small. Screenshot attached.
Very sad about this. I am living in the middle of the capital city, all phones I have ever had had 100% signal here.
I´m having the same issue with my droid maxx in Sweden
My mini is suffering the same deal, one bar almost all the time here in Sacramento with aio.
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I have investigated a bit and found this. It was confusing for me that UMTS and GSM was switching during data access so try this:
settings > more > mobile networks > network mode - here I had GLOBAL, but I changed to LTE/GSM/UMTS. If you do that, new options will be available in mobile networks menu. Here:
select network > GSM only
Huray, 100% signal strength!
I have no deep knowledge of this, but it seems that the phone is by default in UMTS mode when it has crappy reception. This could be because of the design of the phone, or because this is a new technology and the carriers network sux in UMTS. My nokia has no UMTS capability and is in GSM mode, so thats probably the reason why it was OK and Droid was KO.
Only problem with this is that you will probably have slower data connection. But you can experiment with this and switch to UMTS any time.
It would be great if somebody with deeper knowledge of this participate. Who knows what the android icon shows and how the switching is done.

I have just inserted a nano SIM on my Droid Maxx and guess what.
The network is seen, but registration does not get through.
So, I tried another nano SIM (from another provider). The data works fine, but calls cannot be made.
So, is the Verizon phone locked to the carrier?
I am trying to use the phone outside India and the carrier bands is not an issue.
I see two local carriers right now, but the registration process takes forever and does not complete.
Any ideas?
it shouldn't be locked. Have you checked the settings I wrote about? I don't know what type of network you have in India. Or check your provider's bands, what type of network it has and check with your phone settings.
Many people on XDA proved that these phones work on GSM networks.
To all:check this:

WTF. I have tried this, I found a similar line but it doesn't help.

Well, I have looked at those settings. If I switch to anything other than Global mode, after a few seconds, I get a message that there is no network found or something like that. It prompts me to switch back to Global mode. Even if I cancel that and try selecting GSM or UMTS, there is no real difference. I don't see any network. With my earlier cut SIM, at least I was able to see the network.
My cut SIM is now with an adapter inside my normal phone where it works flawlessly. So there is nothing wrong with the nano SIM as well.
OK so I take back that my nokia hasn't 3G. It has and the signal is full. So it is the DROID!
I tried modifying build.prop with no results. Also entered the testmenu and the signal strength here is the same as in settings menu.
I am frustrated.
Try: fastboot oem config carrier <carrier name>, you can use <tmo>, I write my carrier name <megafon>, 3G -57 -65 -71db now...
it helped me...
I have problem with cell reception and cell strength icon at Gummy rom, developer advise me this.
In fastboot mode write this: fastboot oem config carrier tmo, check Google, this is standard command. tmo-GSM/WCDMA, Verizon-CDMA operator.

I dont think so, he had just a different problem probably. I checked his original post and he had no signal at all due to custom rom.
As the title suggests, I no longer have connection to LTE services, beforehand I could get full signals.
I downgraded back to cm11s, and installed the previous XNPH44 modem, still no luck.
I have also tried XNPH33, 30 and 25. I have even tried the ColorOS modem as well as the M9.
Furthermore, I have tried the *#*# secret settings, currently it is on LTE/WCDMA. I can reach H+ connectivity but still not LTE.
I live in Australia, and am with Vodafone. Meaning Band 4 is the one I need to connect to, (1850mhz I think.)
Please advise on what I should try next.
Thanks.

Haha, you're not much help are you.
As written above I used to get full LTE coverage in my area. I even included the LTE band that the LTE broadcasts on.
It is also confirmed on Vodafone's website if you want to have a look.
Is your issue similar to this thread or do you simple just not have LTE, only and never get it on CM12?

Its only LTE that I don't get, but it was only after I updated to CM12. I reverted back to kitkat right now and I no longer get LTE.

No you didn't, you said you used the *#*# setting which is NOT the same as APN setting in the Mobile Network settings. Before insulting people do your homework.
APN worked!

Thank you!!! I have had my OnePlus One on cm 12s for about a week and the LTE has never worked since I upgraded. Just H+ works. And more than that - it keeps turning the H+ (3G) on and off which I think it's really killing my battery life!!! I have been trying loads of things to get my battery life back to what it used to, huhuhu. Turns out my APN got set to T-mobile somehow! I have Red Pocket mobile GSMT which runs on T-mobile and I always got LTE with it till the upgrade. (I'm in USA.) Just had to switch the APN from T-mobile back to Red Pocket 4G. The LTE works again and never cuts in and out!
:good: :good: Thank you! :good: :good:
LOST my LTE connectivity
