Hi there, please go to bell.ca/support and search apn settings, you will probably need to add Bells LTE settings to your phone.

Are you inside a building? Bell's LTE penetration is....enough said.

Did you get LTE with stock rom? If so it could be a setting in the rom somewhere. I also have troubles with LTE when in a building (if thats the case)

I've been outside a building and still don't get lte in the kitchener Guelph area where lte is supported I also changed the settings to gsm/lte but still never see 4G on the top

Setting gsm/auto/lte doesn't work

Just got the confirmation yesterday that Bell have issue with their LTE network.
Go on your network setting and select WCDMA ONLY if you are able...
This is what the tech told me for my LG and since yesterday got 1 drop connection and not 10 a day!!!

I'm on Virgin Mobile Canada (Bell) and was having issues getting 4G (LTE). I believe it was posted on the CM10 thread but I reposted this as someone else was asking the same thing, but if you can't get 4G working even with the correct APN, go to your dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*
This will take you to the phone testing menu. Tap Phone information, scroll down to the selectable list which may say CDMA or GSM/CDMA. Change that to LTE/GSM or LTE/GSM/CDMA and that should get it working again.
This worked for me on CM10, but AOKP should be close enough that this may help you out.

I'm on Att but the 9-8 build of aokp defaults to wcdma preferred on boot up..I know I live in an LTE area so what I did was *#*#4636#*#* then choose LTE only to force it into LTE coverage after that choose LTE/GSM/CDMA prl auto then or LTE should stick..for me if I chose LTE/GSM/CDMA first it would still default to wcdma...hope this helps...keep in mind you have to perform this after every reboot until its changed by task if it ever is in future builds.

Hmmm, that's interesting. On CM10, I don't need to change that on every reboot. Not even after a dirty flash. Just after a clean flash.

I had the same problem on rogers in Vancouver also running cm10 make sure you change your APN to the lte version also where it says APN type I put default. Another thing that may confuse you is that there is no lte icon on cm10 it says 4g instead

Also what might help is don't keep to many APN stored delete all except the lte and the lte tethering one. My phone was also switching to the regular APN on booting it up

Preferred network type?

What should I set mine to?
WCDMA preferred, gsm only, wcdma only, gsm auto prol, cdma auto prl, cdma only, evdo only, gsm/cdma auto prl, lte/cdma/evdo, lte/gsm/wcdma, lte/cdma/ evdo/gsm/ wcdma , lte only, lte/wcdma, or unknown?
Those are all the options i am given when i go into the hidden menu.
The area I live in gets pretty good signal. I want the fastest 4g speeds. thanks.
Wcdma preferred should be the best, wcdma only will not drop to 2G but you might wost battery life depending how good is the network where you live

ok thank you, that is what i will set mine to then.
before it was on gsm prl by default.
network type resets
I've tried to set my type to anything other than gsm (auto) and it goes back the moment I close and reopen Preferred network type. What's up with that?
Stock rom, rooted only.

yeah i picked wcdma only still gettin 5mb down and 1up with no bars
Nice! Wcdma only might use a lot more battery power... I have noticed that when I put my to wcdma preferred my battery life went down significantlly... but that's maybe because I also put my brightness to 100%

3G/4G Menu

Where is the hidden menu for the 4g preferred setting? Isn't there a hidden setting menu. My phone tried to stay on edge. My little brother has a blaze and is right next to me and his is on 4g and mine is on edge....
I still have IMEI so that isnt the issue. :good:
go to the play market and download phone info
Should it be set to gsm/cdma auto(Prl)?
It was on gsm auto (Prl).
It seems since I flashed a Rom and then did my Nan restore to stock rooted it preferred edge over 4g.
Sent from my SGH-T999
no if you want it to prefer 4g ovr edge then you have to have it set to wcdma preferred. that's tmobile's 4g! and then when it isn't available it will simply go to edge. that's definitely your best bet.

I did that now. It still was sticking on edge. I then switched it to wcdma only and it switched right to 4g. Thing is on edge it had full bars. 4g only two. I wonder if that's why it stayed on edge. Anyone know?

try wcdma preferred. It helps stay on 4g. There may not be 4g where you are. Might want to check on that.

So I did this same thing and it's telling me I'm on 3G.
When I was on completely stock ROM out of the box, I was on "4G" all the time.
Now, every ROM I've flashed to test out which one I like, it displays 3G BUT whenever I click on a link it switches to H+. Then when that link is done loading it switches back to displaying 3G. Am I correct in assuming that it is supposed to do this?
Edit - After reading the NEXT post while I was doing my search, it seems that I was correct. :]

correct you are. while It's accessing data it goes to H+
I have my set to wcdma preferred. Keep in mind this setting might use more battery because it's constantly looking for four g signal rather than two g or three g
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
If I'm not mistaken, on stock it will always show 4G, even on 3G.
A lot of custom roms change this so it tells the truth. That's why you see 3G or H/H+.

[Q] LTE speeds on Cyanogenmod 10

I have a Rogers Galaxy S3 and I installed the latest CyanogenMod 10 and I'm just wondering if it is possible to get LTE speeds on my device because everytime I switch the network settings under LTE I lose data connection besides that everything is perfect and I can get HSPA+ speed, wich is ok but not what I'm paying for and I would love to get those speeds back.
Found the answer -____-

What do typical LTE speeds look like? (I never had data until I got my S3)
I have a Telus SGS3 running CM10 M1. At the moment I got 25mbps down and 18mbps up with the speedtest app. My signal indicator says 4g and the speedtest app says my connection is LTE.

I'm with rogers too. We'll my phone is. Anyhoo in order to get lte speeds with cm10 or aokp for that matter you have to put in that code looks like *#*#3896#*#* I'm not sure about the number though look around you'll find it, and then select lte, gsm. That's after putting in the right apn settings of course. Btw it'll work but it won't stick you'll have to do it again every time you restart your phone. Personally I can't be bothered that's why I stick with stock until they figure that out.

No need for all that. In latest CM10 all you have to do is change preferred network type to LTE/GSM/WCDMA, choose Rogers LTE apn and u get LTE speed. It will show 4G but if you do a speedtest you'll see the difference. And it sticks on reboot. In AOKP though it doesn't stick.

for the longest time i couldnt figure out why i didnt see the LTE symbol. When you flash to cm10 the LTE symbol is now 4g.
This should be stickied until cm10 fixes the issue. Every Canadian user flashing to cm10 has no lte by default. Thank you for fixing mine

Still No LTE (AT&T)
I live in an LTE area, receive it with stock rom, but only showing H+ for speed. I have validated that the mobile networks is set to LTE /GSM/WCDMA - not sure what I may be missing. I love CM10, but really wish I could get this figured out. On AT&T.
Anyone help out? Is there some information I could provide?
I am unable to toggle off lte on cm10 to save some battery life. Is there something I'm missing?

Looks like it is working now. I get 4G in the LTE area and H+ everywhere else. The data speeds are decent, so not going to worry about it.

[Q] No LTE. APN Issue?

Clean flashed a Cyanogemod nightly and I can't connect to LTE
This is my first time using the S3 (came in the mail last night, put CM on it and got a new SIM card)
When I put my new SIM in it, I noticed in the store that data wasn't working.
I go home, reboot my phone a couple times, still nothing.
Flash an updated modem, then tried a new kernel.
Go through my network settings and see that the APN is set to ATT LTE
I set it to ATT and immediately I get HSPA+
I also noticed that there's a network type toggle. Mine was set to WCDMA/GSM rather than LTE/WCDMA/GSM
Under both ATT LTE and the ATT APNs, I am unable to toggle LTE.
Also shouldn't HSPA+ work just fine under the LTE APN?
Not sure what to do from here... This was an upgrade from a gnex and one of the biggest selling points for me was LTE in my area
Are u sure ur APN is right?

APN was correct, it turned out that the data was provisioned properly.
Fixed it by calling 611 and letting them know what my IMEI is. Started working when I reselected the LTE APN after they switched it over.
Thanks though

I can only access H+ and not LTE

I recently got a LTE sim card, and an LTE data plan with Fido. 4G worked for about 5 seconds (I even did a speed test) and then now it's permanently on H+.
APN is set to LTEmobile.APN but when I change to Network Mode LTE/GSM, my signal goes blank and stays like that until I go back to GSM/WCDMA, which doesn't make any sense.
I'm using Task's 10/28 Build, which is the only build that doesn't have black screen unlock.
I tried updating to his latest 4.2 but LTE still didn't work.
Any ideas on what is wrong?

did you not read what he said? He has an LTE sim card. To the OP try a google search and see if there are any different apn's. Its not rom related because task650 gets LTE speeds with his rom. Or if your phone is unlocked and you know someone else that has the same phone or LTE sim card pop it in and try it out

Some ROMs have incorrect Fido/Rogers APN settings; I'd go over what's in the ltemobile.apn settings and compare it to a known good set (such as the ones in the stock ROM).
Soft bricked my phone by going back to rooted stock ROM through Odin. Guessing I should have formated system. Anyways fixed it up. Got lte working on rooted stock. Then when to miui no lte. Read that lte is a problem with many on this ROM so I lose. Hope I can get it working eventually when off stock.

Carriers use different labels for H+/LTE - ROMs differ in how they interpret the actual signal speed.
Some ROMs accurately reflect the network speed, some don't.
Some carriers promote/sell speeds that they cannot provide in every area.
There are many possible explanations as to why you are experiencing this.
You should provide your ROM, carrier, APN settings, network speedtest results, etc. for more in-depth answers.
