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've been using my S3 with LTE turned off by creating a new APN and setting it to wap.cingular.com. It's been working fine up until this morning when a strange thing started happening. I am able to make and receive phone calls just fine but I have no data connectivity at all. Email won't sync and gives me an error "network unavailable", no Pandora, no youtube, nothing that requires data.
When I switch the APN back to the default one, I get data again, but when I go back to the wap.cingular.com one, no data.
I tried shutting off the phone and pulling the battery for 30 seconds, I tried deleting and recreating the APN, and still nothing.
I've been using that APN because it gives me longer battery life so I'd like to keep using it if possible.
Any ideas on what might be going on? BTW, I'm in the Miami, FL area in case that matter.
At&t is killing edge in not so distant future LTE is the future. Maybe they killd old towers where you live?

Yeah but using the wap.cingular APN puts the phone in 3G mode, not edge. And if they killed the old towers that use that APN, why would I still get phone signal?
I'm at a loss.

I have exactly the same issue. Every 10 minutes with that APN I lose signal for about 30 seconds. Very annoying.

hrmm...and mine only started today. Before today I'm pretty sure it was working fine. I haven't noticed if I'm losing signal every 10 minutes though. I just know that I have no data whatsoever 100% of the time when using that APN.

When my phone is using edge, there is an E right next to my signal meter. It's not using edge when I'm on wap.cingular.com.
And when the E is there, I get data.
Can someone please confirm what the settings should be when I create a new APN using wap.cingular.com? Maybe my settings are wrong?
roaming charges
I did this also, created APN for wap.cingular. If you go to settings->about device->status, you can see that you are on HSPA.
Does anybody know if AT&T charges roaming for this? I hope not. Since the plan is 4G LTE data plan, any other network (even their own HSPA) might be roaming?

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

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

I get hspa+ on my fone when I am outside my house.... I get about 20mb speeds more or less..... Everything else works and roaming is off.... Its just for some reason I get bad reception in my house and it affects my wifi.... On GB I didn't have this happen before and I did have bad service in my house as well. Is it possible that's its just a carrier name issue then?

Go to Mobile Networks and select Access Point Names. If you don't see T-Mobile US use the menu and select New APN.
Name T-Mobile US
APN epc.tmobile.com
MMSC h h t p colon slash slash mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
Everything else should be the same.
If that doesn't work, call TMobile and ask for the settings.

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.
When installing Skynote RC9z I forgot to backup my apn's.
Can I get someone to list them for me and how do I set the IPv6 apn.
Plus since I'm on PostPaid I read that I could use MetroPCS apn's, so a list of those please. Thanks
I normally never worry about apn's cause they're automatically restored but I forgot about specifically reading in Skynote thread to backup apn's and forgot.
LoL! Doh on me...

Yea I downloaded and used HiAPN, really wished I would've backed up my APN's from SkyNote RC9.1 cause I noticed I had a IPv6 LTE APN
I created a MetroPCS APN To tinker around with when I'm in low T-Mobile Coverage Zones that have higher MetroPCS Coverages. Shall be interesting, I was connected to it all night last night using it fine no problems.

I just used this link to correct my APN settings on my T-Mobile Note 2
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-6763
Or you can just create a new APN.
Just like to add, I was in a no coverage zone I go to a lot and there for half the day switched from the T-Mobile APN getting kbps like back and forth between edge and gprs and decided to try and switch to the MetroPCS APN I manually added and was instantly get 4G and HSPA or lot LTE speeds between 3mbps to 7 and 10 constantly.
