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+:

Hi! Love the Jedi mind trick rom....smooth..no real glitches. Best I've tried. But I only get 3g. I usually have 4g. Still using same telus modem fir ics that I always use....tlle4....but can't seem to get 4g on this rom.
Anyone else in Canada on telus get 4g going? Or us it just saying 3g....but its 4?
Thanks!
Have you done a speed test? I've seen others mentioned they only see the 3G icon when running some of the T-Mobile roms on 'd' rigs yet they have 4G speeds.

It's because telus is hspa, not true 4g so it just shows up as 3g. Your speeds should be the same, this is also the reason "H" shows up on some roms. Almost postive tmo is the same way, just stock telus/tmo roms are made to show 4g on hspa, merely aesthetics.
After bell sgs3 update, H+ now says 4g? Please confirm
I am talking about the icon on the notification bar, please let me know if the icon has changed from H+ to 4g after the update..
Thanks
I still have h+ on my bell galaxy s3

Mine says H+ or LTE.
Did u update to official bell software. The bell version. Shows h+ while the rogers version shows 4g

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.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium
I think It's the same thing but I like the way the 4g Icon looks better then the H+ one.
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.

Just finished installing the AT&T version of the CM10 M1 update and I still can't get LTE to work 4G does not show up and still have same problem of not getting data connection when selecting LTE as connection. What are the correct APN settings for Rogers so that I am able to get LTE?? :/
Not sure off hand, Google Rogers lte apn

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.

^THIS!
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

OMFG, thank you for clarifying that. I thought I was going insane.
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.
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...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
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 am going to be passing down my unlocked S2 to my girlfriend that is currently(for now) on ATT. I am running "Jedi Bean" now and just like everyone else on a 4.1 ROM, I dont have signal strength bars.
My question are:
*Is there anyway for me to get Signal strength bars with a T989 on ATT?
*Should, or could I even, flash an ATT radio? Would it help reception on ATT?
Please give me some ideas as to what I can do to make my T989 run as flawless, and as "normal", as possible on ATT's network.
U will only get 2g speed I would recommend selling or trading for a skyrocket

I know it cant get 4G, but I thought the T989 is capable of 3G on AT&T, it has the band for it...The main reason I am giving my girlfriend the S2 is so she can have all the Samsung apps and enjoy a better phone than she has; currently an HTC Inspire. I dont want to sell/trade it is because its my spare phone now that I sold my Galaxy S.
Side note: My girlfriend barely uses data, so the reduced speed is not a big deal.
It gets 3g on at&t because occasionally when I go out of my hspa 4g range like in middle of nowhere my phone will link up to an at&t tower on the edge network which is technically 3g. Sometimes its gprs 2g but it does get 3g on at&t signal.
