Is the 4G toggle different than lte? I am running an AOKP rom and since changing from stock I see h+ and 4g never lte anymore.

I had that problem, I think it's the cosmetic setting that got screwed. I flashed another ROM and then back to stock to get the LTE icon back on.
- format System
-flash Kyan's ROM (caused it was based off of Rogersbuild or i747M)
- confirmed that it was showing LTE, then I flashed the stock Rom.

Thats because AOKP And other rom are based on AT&T not Bell so you will see 4G vice LTE.
I work for Bell and I have done a good 15 updates since it was released for customers. Still says H+lte. I know wanamlite had the att 4G, looked way cooler but thats the only rom I have tried that has had the 4g so far. the Bell update doesnt say that.
It is all based off of csc
Rogers uses 4g and lte, Telus says h+ and 4g and bell has h+ and lte. All same thing just their idiotic way of differentiating.
Mixing firmwares can produce some interesting results.
Waiting for JKay mod on GT-I9300
telus shows 4g or lte. people always think that im on lte when it says 4g and am 'wowed' by its speed. then i tell them they're actually on 3g.
happened to me for some reason 3g and and 4g are what I get.

I think It's the same thing but I like the way the 4g Icon looks better then the H+ one.

I am on Telus, using CM10 build for the T989. Why is it with every ROM I've used, the best I get is 3G? Is there a certain Telus Baseband I need?
Do you have a 4G package with Telus? I know this sounds like a stupid question but I figured I'd ask anyway.
AOSP ROMS based off of ICS and JB only show 4G when they are connected to LTE (I think). So if it says HSPA+ or H then you are fine. Both of them are a form of 3G so it OK. Are your speeds any different? Look at the screenie (at the top where it says H+:

Why is it that I only flip between 4G and Edge but have no 3G. Does anyone else have this or is it a t mobile network thing?

It depends...are you stock, rooted stock, or custom ROM? The reason I ask (regardless of settings) is I never got 3G on stock. After I rooted and used Kasper's AOKP nightlies my phone would use Edege, G, 3G, and 4G. Where I work the signal wasn't so good so locking onto 3G was tough but with the J4 and JA modems now I can consistently hold 3G with the AOKP ROM.
My opinion is to check for the newest modem which is JA (Jelly Bean update) if you are rooted and use that from the modem download thread here on XDA. If you aren't rooted wait for the upgrade and you will get that modem regardless.
However, AOKP ROM most likely works differently so you still might not see 3G if you are stock JB that's why I think we would needa bit more info.
I'm stock everything for a change lol. I also have the latest jelly bean update. I haven't seen 3G once on the phone since I've gotten it. It's really weird...

Your second guess is correct. Tmo is edge or a highly evolved version of 3g. It has nothing to do with stock vs rooted. The modem or kernel may help a little depending on what you are running. If you are in high speed 3g area aka 4G be happy.
Yeh it just gets annoying when I drop straight from 4G to Edge. :what:

T-Mobile uses HSPA+ for their current 4G network, which is just an extension of their 3G network. So, if you're on stock, it will jump from Edge to 4G, since T-Mobile's 3G and 4G are of the same technology.
When you're rooted, it will show 3G while your phone is at rest. As soon as "heavy" loads come in, it will shoot straight 4G. At times of very light loads, your phone might stay on 3G, but it's rare.
Bottom line, you're phone is perfectly fine when it jumps from 4G to Edge. Stock won't differentiate the two (3G&4G).
Well described... Thanks for clearing that up. Hopefully it helped some other people also.

I was wondering if the H+ symbol I get for the Omega rom means it is LTE? There are times when it says E, 3G and 4G as well. I'm assuming the H+ is when it is on LTE here in Chicago.

I Would like to add, on TMO rom it seemed to me like they are marking H+ as 4G as well, which on normal roms (i9505) they are not.
i had 2 Galaxy S4 in my hand, one with TMO rom and one with i9505 rom. (With TMO sim in both)
the TMO showed up 4G and the i9505 showed H+
but when looking inside the debug menu, they both were in H+ channel,
speedtest showed the same speed as well.
so what i think is that TMO is "Cheating" by stating "i'm on 4G network" which should be only LTE,
but you are on 3.5G network (H+)

So why does it go between 4g and 4gLTE?

you could also correct that by just changing the build.prop lines to the tmobile values and you get your normal icons back for 4G and 4GLTE. I did this since I am running Omega as well.

Would this work on an AOSP rom as well ? If so, can please you post the build.prop lines that need changing? (including what to change them to)
Thanks in advance

I honestly do not know that this will work on an AOSP rom. My bet is that they probably wouldn't- and if you're running an AOSP rom built for the M919 you'd already have the correct build.prop values:
ro.product.model= SGH-M919
ro.product.name=jfltetmo
ro.product.device=jfltetmo

I see. Those are the current values for those lines. Thanks anyway
Why don't you just do a speed test?

How do you change the build prop? Also, will this effect the changes I made with 3 minit settings?
I'm on omega. Change your build prop to get T-Mobile icons. You could also go in settings/status and check if your in hspa or LTE. I have LTE now in Cleveland and see 4g LTE for my data icons

Here's T-Mobile build prop. There are only 3 things you have to change. Device,model and name

A simple text editor works, it's located at /build.prop
Otherwise there are several options on Play, just search for build prop.
Thanks i changed the name, model, and device in build prop, but it still uses 3g and 4g.
Nevermind it now. Shows lte for lte and 4g for hspa after the edit of the build prop

Tmobile's 4g has always been hspa+ They are just starting to roll out LTE. AT&T did this also. They billed hspa+ as 4g, and then rolled out LTE later, which they currently market to compete with verizons 4g lte. Gsm carriers were able to debut hspa+ faster then verizon was able to debut LTE for the first time, giving them a leg up on the fastest network for a short time.

Recently flashed CarbonROM and now my phone rotates between 3G and HSPA+ when both are listed as full signal. Is this a ROM issue, Phone issue, or AT&T?

Its not an issue. AOSP based ROMs show 3g when data isn't active and H+ when it is. stock ROMs incorrectly label H+ as 4g.

So it isn't a matter of me having signal or not? It's just going to say H+ when actually using data and 3g when im not?

H+ is not LTE that is correct. On AOSP ROMs LTE is displayed as 4g. If you are seeing H+ then you are either not in an LTE reception area or your APN is wrong.

If i could piggy back off this thread, I also have a tmo s4 on att network. Yesterday I was with a friend who was also on att and I noticed his phone at that time had 4g where the network bars were located, mine however read H+. It was then I realized that I have never seen the 4g symbol on my phone ever. Do I just not get 4g? Or does this ROM that I have on my phone (slim bean) either not have the files for 4g or maybe its originally a T-Mobile ROM so I'm not getting 4g I don't know. I do get LTE tho.

Ok this makes sense, thanks.
I had the same issues. If your previous phone that you used on AT&T was only 3G (I had an iPhone 4), your SIM card is only configured to receive and transmit 3G data. You will need to go on to wireless.att.net and order a new 4G SIM card, or go to a store and have them program one for you. This is assuming that you have already signed up for one of the new data plans, if not, they will likely not issue a SIM card capable of 4G and will probably hound you via email and SMS about using a 4G device on an old 3G data plan.
