Hi, I have a stock GS3 on ATT and I live in an area without much LTE coverage so I manually reassigned my APN to utilize 4G versus LTE because my battery life was abysmal constantly searching for the LTE signal. Ever since I'm experiencing complete cellular data drops about 20 times a day. Zero bars, zero data, zero connectivity. It's not a huge deal it's just annoying. Is there a fix for it and is that even why it's happening? Before this I had an iPhone 4 and never had connectivity issues on 3G With cellular or data. Thanks!

You need to add more to your APN type. It should read exactly like this:
default,supl,mms,hipri
No caps, big spaces between commas, nothing less, nothing more. Give it a try and see if that corrects your issue.
If that doesn't work, please search for and read my thread on APN settings in the Samsung Infuse forums development section. I support all AT&T devices there.

It does that scanning of different channels either because of authentication failure or because it can't find an evdo signal. It is just scanning the different frequencies defined in the PRL.

I have Note ii and yesterday updated to 4.1.2. I thought that the APN setting intact as Simple Mobile setting, and I kept using it untill now. Then I found out that I am using T-Mobile LTE APN Setting, which they worked fine. and even more the internet speed is 14mbs. even even more I have test the MMS and it does work too. I am waiting for t-mobile to switch LTE so I can check the speed. that will be awesome. btw I am from Houston, TX.

Are you sure you're using the T-Mobile LTE APN? I'm pretty sure the standard connectivity speed for T-Mobile is 14 Mbps. Any incorrect or unknown APN will also be routed directly to the network's default, so it would help to know exactly which setting you are using.
Thanks!

Did you change the Protocol to IPv4/IPv6, or it came like that? I've heard that Note 2 comes with IPv4 selected by default.

Unfortunately that's just Dual HSPA+
You will see "4G LTE" instead of just "4G" on the top of your notification when it's enabled in your area. I'm keeping my fingers crossed also. When LTE is working you will also see a big difference with your upload speed as well.

fast.t-mobile.com ... My Note 2 updated itself yesterday and changed the APN to that. I have not been able to check it yet because I am on Simple Mobile and they turned off my data today for "violation of terms" [again]. When I stream outbound video they do that automatically. I do it on purpose just to piss them off ... right before my prepaid renewal of the 22nd of the month tomorrow. Will be anxious to see if Simple is given the LTE network too. Will find out tomorrow LOL
Lol... they reset your data without issue when you pay?
What was the old apn? Maybe that will improve our speeds the new update slowed down.

How much has the speed increased by the LTE thing? Like before and after updating APN thing.
Hey guys ,
I recently flashed Rootbox on my phone,and the ROM is amazing. It has bugs here and there but one of the most frustrating one is the inability to use data. I can access WiFi without a problem,but it won't access data. I tried switching to 2G only networks,GSM/WCDMA only,LTE , I even updated the Modem ! I am at a standstill here guys and I would greatly appreciate if someone would have some helpful insights on what I should do to get data working?
Thanks!

It seems like pages would load faster if the radio was forced to stay on HSPA+ rather than going back to umts then waiting that second for it to jump back on HSPA. Anyone ever heard of a mod that makes the radio stay on HSPA network?
There's definitely a difference between the both in terms of speed. I came from Verizon and there LTE network was good but not great. I get better speeds at home on t-mobile but better at work on Verizon. There network was good at going through walls. The big difference is there LTE radio is always on forcing fast speeds out the gate. It's always on. If there was a mod to just force the radio to stay on HSPA there wouldn't be much of a difference between the both when it comes to user experience. It's not a big deal but was curious if anyone ever heard of such a thing.
Please exclude the I9505 build prop as I'm enjoying one of the international builds at this time. Again my data is good but forcing this HSPA network to stay on would definitely improve user experience. Maybe one day I will have the skills to create such a mod
Wishful thinking. Thanks community and please don't flame this thread. I'm in Q&A and it's just a thought

Yes if you look in the mobile network in settings you can change the gs4 to the second mobile network setting which is without LTE. with that setting checked it only uses HSPA. Enjoy. I use it when LTE is acting funny

If you're on a Samsung phone, type *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer. Open Phone information. There'll be a drop down list saying 'Set preferred network type'. You can force LTE only or WCDMA only etc there. There are other options too, depending upon the phone.
If you aren't rooted and throttled by att, I found a temp fix that will work for a little bit to get boosted speed. I noticed that if you call your voicemail your note 2 will go into 4G instead of LTE letting you access 4G speeds even if you are throttled. Try it out!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
That didn't work for me.
Interesting anecdote. Might have something to do with HD voice on UTMS. See if you can replicate and post back.
The best way to do this is to keep an active data connection. Then place a call and end it after connecting and it will stay in 4G. BAM. I'm only 4 days in and been throttled. Now I have 4G speeds which is def better than 500kps
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I think they changed the way they throttle. Right at 5gb I get 60kb/sec speed for a day, the next day it's back to full speed for a while.
As of using internet while in a call - I found it's impossible, because the upload speed drops below dialup (1kb/sec!) it means any page requests take ages to reach the server.
I don't use internet while using the phone. I just use it to put it into 4g mode. Works for me.
