[Q] No 3G - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hello!
I don't understand. Epic 4G has 3G. Activated Epic 4G Touch -- (same area) -- no 3G.
Is it only me so lucky? How to fix it?
Rom -- Stock EG30.
Help, please?

Did you go to mobile networks to activate the 3g?
Did you just get the phone today or what im lost.
Did you flash a kernel by any chance or any rooting perhaps etc?
Did you reboot the phone and try 3g again?
Does your 4g work?

I've bought the phone 3 days ago but today in the morning I've reactivated Epic 4g l. Then I decided to give it one more shot I activated Epic 4g Touch online.
3G. Isl Activated in the settings but not working
4g is working
Not installed any kernel, just stok and what was in the clockworkmod 5. But before I did it I checked. There was no 3g

4g working on cricket

Is there anyone who has a hack for the 4g working on cricket, I seen a video on Youtube with the 4g working on cricket.
No, 4G does not work on cricket. The EVO can be flashed to cricket but the 4G will not work. You must be misunderstanding the video. Link?
Yeah I knew that it could flashed with everything working but here is the video to show it. http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=/&gl=US#/watch?xl=xl_blazer&v=IQ5TaWsANYE
But if it can work, will it hacked?
You probably wanted to post this link:

There's no reason 4g won't work on a Cricket flashed phone. You just have to have some sort of account with whoever you're connecting the 4G to (Sprint or Clear). There is nothing major about what this guy has done. In all likelihood he's simply purchased one of those day passes for 4G ($9.99). I'm prompted to purchase one whenever I turn my 4G on and try to surf the web.
4G works, you still have to subscribe to it though
Ah ok I thought he was using hacked setting for his evo.

when does 4g activation start?

I just got my 4g touch from letstalk.com and tried turning on the 4g (yeah the extra $10 a month all us suckers need to pay) and it didnt connect? Does it take a while to activate coming from just a 3g hero?

You have to have 4g in the area which you live. you can check the
4g coverage map on sprint.com I believe.
And the 10.00 charge is now for any smartphone, not just 4g capable ones.

Do you have 4G in your area?
Sorry, yes i live in the chicagoland area. I would imagine i should have coverage. Since my old hero didnt have 4g does it take a day or so after upgrade?
Oh my......
let the flames begin.
whatever flame away. if 4g doesnt work no way im paying $10 a month when i didnt have to before. and coverage map show 4g, so i would expect it to work.
I know it sounds like a dumb question, but with provisioning and all the b.s. i have no idea if something has to change on their side.

It should be available immediately. If you can't get 4G, there's no 4G in your area.
Now, if the coverage map shows 4G, then your phone may be defective.
BTW, the $10 charge is not for 4G but for all new android phones with or without 4G radios.
They call it "we are gonna charge you more cause we can" fee.

You didn't pay the fee because you where grandfathered in with your contract... Once you got this phone and signed a new contract you now have to pay for the "data" fee even if you dont have 4g coverage.... I dont have 4g where I live...
U troll no?

Hey I just got the Touch Pro 2 and I can't get 4G...how do i activate it?
I don't know anything about the 3g hero, but you really should double check to make sure you have 4g coverage. The coverage for 4g than 3g coverage so just because you have 3g doesn't mean you automatically have 4g. It's a bummer for those who don't have a coverage. Me i'm like right at the edge of 4g coverage so if i want those speed i have to like walk a block or two just to get a bar or two of 4G.
I just opened her phone and tried hers, connects no problems. Sitting in the same room and i get nothing, her phone works fine.

Assuming your wife has a 4g capable phone, then you might wanna talk the guys at sprint then or maybe it's something as simple as just turning on the radio from your settings? I dunno *shrugs*. I haven't tested mine yet since i'm still using my EVO and haven't had the chance to move my account to my epic touch 4g. waiting for a stable root.
on the phone with sprint now. they tried to go through manual activation, still showing 'unknown' in the 4g settings when you try to turn it on. they want to send me a replacement. problem is i ordered this phone from letstalk.com and now they want me to call them.

lemme know what happens bc i also got my phone from letstalk today and my 4g isnt connecting and im in the chicagoland area too!.. lol
i had the evo 3d before this and it had no problem connecting to 4g in my area
UPDATE:
lol, i kinda figured letstalk might have messed up the data activation bc some ppl had the same issue from wirefly. well i did a hard data reset and my 4g is up and running now **FROM MY BASEMENT**, which i thought was ridiculous to even try but it actually still connected haha. just proof of its superior radio to the E3D.
anyway heres a link that may help you, btw you DONT need to be rooted to use Terminal Emulator to get your MSL, look for kingsway8605's post, its simpler http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1269282

If your area has no 4g coverage you wont get anything
For example where I live there is no 4g but 5 min down the street I have it a work lol

[Q] 3G/4G Working On metroPcs EVO??

Im wondering if anyone has discovered hot to link metropcs flashed Evo to 4G speeds or 3G anything faster than 1x??
The Evo uses Clearwire's WiMax network for 4G service, so I doubt you'll be able to get 4G.
What about 3G?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
we'll thats the bad thing about metro PCS
well 3g speeds are governed by your network and 4g speeds wimax.. uses as stated before clear wire service from sprint so basically if metro does not have a 3g network you can't get 3g on your phone and metro only has a 4g LTE network without wimax support your also down in that category i know this because i flashed my old eve to metro for a month and got sick of the damn slow speed so i switched back to sprint thank god i kept my contract with sprint while testing out metro.. but you do get what you pay for ...
Thanks
Htc Evo flashed to metro thanks xda!!

No 4G on CM10.1 Straight Talk AT&T

I have my APN settings all set up. I am in a 4G area. I was getting 4G prior to flashing CM. I'm now only getting 3G. Any suggestions?

Does Straight Talk even support LTE? 4G on CM roms is LTE but 4G on stock AT&T roms is H+.

Straight Talk does support 4G (HSPA+) but does not support LTE. I was on the stock out of the box rom and I was getting 4G so I believe that 4G is HSPA and LTE is of course 4G LTE. Anyways the link from the previous posts claims in 4.2 that the data connection is slowed down when in idle but when strain is used on mobile data, the phone will automatically bump up to 4G (HSPA) , I am in 4G area.
On ANY AOSP ROMs, 4G is LTE. If you are on HSPA+ it will show HSPA+. Phone companies showing that their HSPA+ is 4G on stock ROMs is a lie. So, if it shows HSPA+ as your connection, then you are getting what phone companies call "4G." Thanks.
HSPA on Strait Talk
I also have Strait Talk and can say that HSPA/HSPA+ has not worked for me on CM10.1 however it was working on CM10 on a AT&T GS3, and it works on my Wife's GS2 Skyrocket(Stock).

Same here. No issues whatsoever under CM10.0 - was consistently getting H+ (which was fine for me). Upgraded to CM10.1 today and can't get anything better than 3G.
If I do need to flash a new modem, can someone suggest a link or other reference. Looked around all afternoon but couldn't find anything helpful.

Unlocked Sprint G2 4G issues

Hello everyone,
I recently bought an unlocked sprint G2 and everything seems to be working perfectly fine. No signal drops or anything, however, 4g isn't working. I'm living in Oman currently. When I select 4g from the data settings I dont get any signals. I know that I am in a 4G zone. Could this be a radio issue? I really have no idea.
I apologize if this question has been asked before. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks!
Different 4g bands

You need to have a 4G LTE sim card on your phone... if not then it wont be signal on it.
