not picking up lte - Sprint LG Optimus G

Anyone have this problem I was in an lte area for about an hour and never picked up lte

I live in an lte area and I have issues picking up lte or holding it. Usually if I know their is lte were I am I may have rot toggle airplane mode and it will pick up lte. I'm just hoping for a leaked radio update or something because this is getting old

I have the same issue with mine, I thought it was defective but it seems to be the norm. I came from an Evo LTE, so sadly its nothing new to me

I noticed the radio on this phone isn't very good, the handoff leaves a lot to be desired

LTE down in the Richardson Texas area?

Anyone having issues connecting to LTE in the Richardson area? I flashed pretty much stock with new radios from here - http://droidmodderx.com/galaxynexus/stockrom-4-0-4-rooted-deodexed-zipaligned-plus-tether-mod
Haven't seen my phone connected to LTE today. Can't remember if it was on LTE before I flashed.
Mine dropped out for a while here in Houston, TX.
Thanks for the response. I will say I've never seen 3G stronger on my Nexus. Maybe Verizon is doing some network stuff.
Looks like its not a network problem. I'm guessing with the new radio, if you're in a weak LTE area it will stay on 3g and not constantly switch back and forth.

Clarification on faster 3g speed

I live in Los Angeles where supposedly network vision upgrades are taking place. At my home, my 3g speeds have now greatly increased. Does this mean that Ite is also available right now?

Can you even get 4G through Wimax at your house yet ?
Unfortunately not my friend...at least not yet. Even if it were, we won't vask in its glory until an LTE capable phone is in our hands. Can't wait...
Yea, 4g wimax works surprisingly well at home for me. 3g was always abysmal until a few days ago.

It could be that the lte hardware on the towers are being put in place but is not yet turned on. Don't hold me to that because I could be wrong. But in any case our phone couldnt ride those lte waves due to hardware implications :-(

Keeping with you our phone can't support lte, but in terms of deployment no one knows. My friend got the thunderbolt with verizon when it first came out and as soon as verizon put the hardware up they turned on the service, sometimes it went down but wasn't "official" available until the whole region was covered and had 99% uptime.
I know our et4g can't take advantage of lte, but now that the nexus is out, I'm wondering if it would pick up an lte signal. I'm sure within the next few days we will have reports from Los Angeles based nexus users one way or another.

They probably won't. Pretty sure they're going to make sure 3g speeds and towers are up and completed before turning on LTE. Less problems to deal with and more resources in case any problems occur ala verizon outages.
Anyways... there's hardly any sprint LTE phones out there so i doubt the cost of upkeep justifies turning these things on yet....
Correct me if i'm wrong.

It's all on one tower now, once the tower is on and its on. As soon as the tower is upgraded LTE will go live with the rest of the service. They may not officially announce its live but it will be. Unlike wimax where it was on a separate tower from sprint 1x and 3g the LTE will be on the same infrastructure as 1x-Advanced and 3g its all part of the Network Vision rollout/expansion

Sorry. Yet Another LTE issue with Rogers (and a twist!)

When I first installed CM10 on my S3 I was having wonky 4G connections. I eventually figured out how to get LTE to stick by switching bearer off LTE, saving, going back in and changing it back to LTE. It worked for me and by the time the dailies arrived I rarely had to touch it.
Today I flashed 10/02 and noticed massive battery drain. I was also getting 4g showing with grey bars, not blue. So I rebooted and began to recharge.
Now I can't get 4g at all. I've messed around with the APN settings over and over without any luck. I just switch back and forth from 3G/H+
I checked my IEMI, Its there as usual.
I tried forcing just LTE through the dialer and just get grey bars (full) without any data connection.
Any ideas? Could my phone be just a dud and the best solution is to revert to stock and return?
Thanks!

Make sure data is enabled in the settings
data is enabled. I can get 3g/h+.
I also tried loading my last two nandroids. No luch there either.
I have the same problem as you, LTE just suddenly stopped working today, tried everything to get it back but no luck. On Paranandroid..would reflashing the modem/radio help at all?
possibly weak LTE area? seems to always be my problem... i'm on slim rom and can get lte if in the neighbourhood .. lol
Rogers is having problems with LTE today across the country.

Sometimes things like this make me doubt my reason for sticking with Rogers is reliability. Not just LTE today, there's also suppose to be a problem with RogersOne users in Ontario not being able to make or get calls seems to be fixed now. Had LTE for about 30 secs a minute ago and 4g is still really splotchy and keeps disconnecting.

They are adding lte coverage to a lot of cities since 01/10. That is why.
Keep calm and wait, don't blame your devices

I think we were blaming service providers...not device ;p

[Q] Strange Antenna Issue

I have the Sprint version of the Optimus G, updated and rooted. Since I've gotten it, I've had a weird issue. When the network mode is set to LTE/CDMA, the 3G antenna will only turn on very rarely, leaving me entirely without internet access. I was about to return in when I realized that the issue is solved when I change it to CDMA only.
We don't have LTE in my area (though I'm assured that it's coming in the next few weeks. I'm holding my breath. I promise. ), so I don't mind leaving my LTE antenna off. But if this is an issue only with my phone, I want to exchange it while I still can, rather than waiting until LTE is available only to find that my phone is faulty.
So is anyone else having this issue? Is it software, or should I get the phone exchanged?
Had the same issue. I turned the 4g off and it got better instantly

Phone wont connect to 3g when set to CDMA\LTE\EVDO mode

I have an interesting issue. My wife and I both have Note II's. I have a grey one, she has a white one. Both are on the latest Stock Rom and rooted, same kernel and modem revisions. Both phones on the dreaded 2000 PRL (Havent got around to flashing another one because we have an Airave 2.5)
My phone will not connect to 3g at all when I have LTE enabled. The other phone connects to 3G just fine with LTE enabled.
I have another friend that only sporadically connects to 3g with LTE enabled. If I set the phones that wont stay connected to 3G to CDMA mode everything is fine.
Any ideas?
Try automatic?

Does this happen around the airave? Airaves are known to cause a host of isues with rooted phones even with no custom roms

The only way to get 3g when lte is enabled is when you lose lte sinal is you just want to use 3g set it to cdam mode only if you set it to lte

Cdma only or global
I was reading some other sites and threads after I encountered a problem almost just like this because I had switched my signal type while on AOSP.
I discovered that because our phone are global they have different connection setting and in short when you switch to either global mode or CDMA only, and try to go back to lte evdo the phone will roam constantly and will not be able to reconnect to lte. So while I was trying to fix my LTE I managed to force my LTE on but I wasnt getting any cdma or evdo. finally I got everything back to normal by flashing a back to stock rom and doing a hands free activation.
I'm also have an overwhelming time with 3g. I have no lte in my area but have tried both CDMA only and CDMA/let settings. My 3g is on and off within 1 minute intervals or hours at a time. I pretty much have no data connection 95% of the day, until I get home from work and can hit WiFi.
I'm just stock rooted on MC2 and also on prl 2000.
I've been on the phone with sprint for days trying to figure this out or get them to waive my ETF. I refuse to keep paying for service when I am not getting any. It's bad enough they don't have 4G much less LTE here, but I can't continue to do these sub par dialup speeds to no speeds.
Any other tips to try would be greatly appreciated. As sprint says everything is fine in my area...
Go figure.

Yeah, same problem here. Somehow after rooting the phone i completely lost 4G LTE connectivity. Now everywhere i go it's only on 3G or EvDo Rev-8 which sucks. I think the only way of fixing toys issue is to Unroot and go back to stock ROM.
After doing a lot of research on the matter that is the only solution right now to our 4G LTE catastrophe. :thumbdown:
