Mobile Network/Data Upload Help!!! - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

When I am on the Network Mode LTE/CDMA/EVDO AND on 4g, my data works as intended, download and upload works. However, if I am still on LTE and only have 3g service...I get ZERO upload data. This is why MMS doesn't send and other things (Instagram, Snapchat).
To get these things to send, I got to set my Network Mode to just CDMA/EVDO Auto. The downside to this is that 4g will never get picked up when available.
If anybody knows how to fix this so that my data uploads when I'm 3g but on the LTE/CDMA/Evdo network mode that would be great!!!!
I am running the Carbon 5/10 nightly but I believe this is a common AOSP issue.
Thanks!!!

Which modem are you on?
Once you can identify the baseband version try different modems besides your current one and see if it makes any difference for you. I'm sorry it took so long for anyone to respond to this..

Even though TW data works fine and I only having issues on AOSP?
Should I nand aosp, restore tw and force activation, and restore my aosp?

Yes, try that
But first, are you sure it's not just issues with your AOSP rom?

Nope not just the rom, it happens on carbon/deviant/liquid and even rootbox AOKP.

Unfortunately, this did not work. I'm wondering if this is an APN issue, although I don't really know what I'm talking about.
As you can see from the screenies...3g upload speed is non-existant when on the LTE network mode.
Edit: 1st screenie is on LTE. The 2nd is on CDMA/Evdo Auto.

What are you talking about 3g on lte network mode. 3g is 3g. LTE is 4g two completely different things. If you have LTE in your area your device would connect and say 4g. If not it will connect to only 3g. If you are on a stock rom you might only be connected to 1x speed but your phone will display 3g. Only custom roms will break it down to actually show if you are on 1x connection.
If you are on a custom rom then that may be your problem if you do have lte in your area, even more so if you are on aosp type rom. They have issues handling the exchange between 4g and 3g. I pretty much bet that's what it is an rom issue handling the exchange.

Under settings - mobile networks - network modes. The LTE mode is selected. In areas where 4g is not available and only 3g is...upload data does not work. However, if just the CDMA/EVDO auto is selected under mobile networks (LTE NOT SELECTED) data upload works fine.

What Rom are you on? Never mind, just read your on Carbon. This is a common issue with aosp roms. You should leave it always in cdma/lte/evdo never change from there. Set it to that and reboot. Use the toggle for 4g to turn 4g on or off.
But beltway to assure yourself that it is a rom issue is create a nandroid, then flash a TW rom and test the handling between 3g and 4g, and your data.

I am on LiquidSmooth v2.4 official. However this happens on the past few AOSP roms i have tried.
Back to what you said, maybe the handoff from 4g to 3g is just not working with data upload properly.

Wow I must say thanks for the toggle idea. Beats the heck out of going into mobile settings and switching modes every time I want to send an MMS.

Correct, just do yourself a favor in order to eliminate a hardware issue. Make the nandroid of your current set up. Clean flash a TW rom anyone and check the handoffs if it works property it's a rom issue if you still have problems it could be the device itself. It takes less than 5 minutes to test you don't have to set everything up just flash log in with Google account and check.

WiFi/data issues

How's it going everyone. Just left sprint for T-Mobile. Even with the problems I'm having its still better than sprint crappy network. Anyways. For some reason no matter what ROM I'm on I'm having issues where the WiFi will turn off it will go to 4g than WiFi will randomly turn back on. Or I'll have great service than randomly I'll see an E near my signal bars and it slows down for a good 5 minutes. Any idea what may be causing the problem?

Make sure WiFi calling is disabled. Then go into Mobile Networks and change Network mode to WCDMA Only. See if that helps.

Well if you are getting the E, that's Tmobile's network for ya. It is quite spotty. I get the same thing and goes back to 4G soon after. One of my main gripes with Tmobile.
If you do what DocHoliday said, it won't work at all. Just won't have any signal at all. If you leave it to auto, you will at least get the EDGE network.
Did this do the same thing with your old phone? If not, not sure what the deal would be besides weak radio maybe.
Try using the Llama app to force wifi on and disable the radios when around specific locations?
That's a workaround though...

Its worth a shot. I had issues with staying on 4G when I first got the phone. That fixed it for me.
Spotty service depends upon your area imo. Sounds more like a network issue to me. Could be a side effect from all the refarming work they're doing on the network. Its a nationwide project so it can hapoen anywhere.
@op
If you turn off WiFi does it work as it should? If so check that WiFi calling isn't enabled and set to WiFi preferred. If it is turn it off and test, then if fixed turn it back on and try Cellular preferred.

For what it's worth, I had this issue yesterday out of the blue. Nearly every time I would unlock my phone, wifi would be disconnected and I'd see the 4G icon. After unlocking the phone, a few seconds later it would connect up to wifi again. And yes, this is even with wifi set to always on in the advanced settings.
I realize there could be multiple causes for this symptom, but the fix for me was simply forget the wifi network and connect up to it again and the issue disappeared since then. Hasn't happened today yet either.

Odd data problem

Ok so I have an unlocked LG Nitro HD with custom ROM (CM10) and it has a very weird problem. I've tried two different AT&T MVNO SIM cards (AirVoice and Consumer Cellular) both have the same issue. My data signal keeps changing from H to H+ and occasionally to 3G like every few seconds regardless of where I am using the phone even outside. I don't understand what the problem is. What could be the issue?

Data does work but it seems to drain the battery with the networks constantly switching and on occasion I get a "No Connection" screen on certain apps, I guess because if I open an app while its swapping networks the app cant connect. It's strange.

They are set up properly.
I had another odd problem, just a few minutes ago was texting someone and all of a sudden phone froze while vibrating then restarted! Don't know if that's a bug in CM10 or what, maybe the network swapping is as well.

Maybe make a backup of your CM10 and try flashing a different ROM not based on CM10.

I think this is the same issue that I recently fixed in quattrimus. I will try to get the fix included in the cm kernel soon. You might try my Rom to see if the fix works.

I tried installing CM9 and it appears to have fixed the problem, the phone doesn't try to connect to the H+ network anymore, only the H network and seems to stay on it so far. I did see it quickly go over to the 3G network but it doesn't appear to be causing any issues, it went right back to the H network. However, I really wish the CM10 ROM worked right, as CM9 is so old...

CM10 is snappy and oh so buttery smooth, I give you that. On another note, did you try any other CM10 variants? I'd give tdmcode's AOKP a spin. He says he might have fixed that problem you were talking about in his build.

I downloaded the CM10 ROM. It seems to behave slightly differently. It stays on H normally, but when I start to do something with data, it will go to H+ until the data loads, then go back to H. So far no disconnects, I'll keep you posted. Right now I have very limited data, I'm switching to T-Mobile as soon as UPS decides to deliver my SIM card (just found out they have a 1900MHz HSPA+ network in my area!) I'll be able to test it better then, but for now I'm trying to stick to wifi, especially since I wasted so much data tonight playing around with this stuff, lol.

Ditto... H and 3g are subsets of each other. Namely they can handle simultaneous voice and data 4G (h+) and lte can only handle data. So it switches back to H so you can receive and make calls plus it uses less battery. If you are on either 4G techs and receive a phone call while downloading it will automatically switch to H from h+ or lte, this is why. The only way you will never see this is on an AT&T rom where it only has 4G and lte icons.

H+ isn't a subset of 4G is it? I know that the CM's have separate icons for 3G/H, H+, 4G, and LTE.

That certainly is debatable but the US's largest carrier considers it to be, it behaves like 4g, H+ may not be as fast but it is 90%+ as fast in most markets small enough to not make a noticeable difference as far as people's perception and the technology behaves like LTE in a lot of respects, CM is international so it just conforms to International norms so that's why you get H+ AND 4G (LTE) designators.

Fixed service dropping and locked LTE

I finally got LTE locked on with Telus other users confirmed Rogers, AT&T and Bell(thanks) . No service disconnections, even while on wifi.
The problem I see is conflicting settings while flashing roms/modems. This seems to be the only fix. I'm pretty stoked I figured this out because I was about to switch back to my s2x out of frustration.
This took a lot of trial and error, literally had nothing to go on and no where in particular to start. Enjoy.
MAKE SURE YOU ENABLE LTE TOGGLE IN ROM AND HAVE IT ON BEFORE STARTING.
1. Network mode(settings/wireless & networks, more/ mobile networks/ network mode) set to gsm/lte/wcdma
2.Phone setting in test mode *#*#4636#*#* set to lte/gsm
at&t / rogers should select gsm/lte/cdma in test mode
3.Recovery flash latest modem mumLL1
(at&t users flash ucdlk3)
Wipe cache/dalvik
4 . Reset. Give it a couple mins to ask the network for lte.
If you disable Lte(through toggle) and want to use 3g/H+ for battery saving, the only way I've been able to reconnect to it; is to re enable(toggle) and reset, wait a couple mins to connect.
Side note: depending on your 4g service area, it may bounce around 3g/H+ which is normal.
When you place a call it will drop to 3g (the believed reason for this is that the phone knows you won't need heavy data so falls back to ease up on the battery during calls) but will reconnect a couple mins later. Our phones are slow to negotiate Lte connections with the radio testing sockets and network stability before committing, so be patient.
Let me know if this works for you and which network. Thanks.

LTE Connection Possible Fix

I have noticed that there are people starting to notice that that have LTE in their frequenting areas, but it's messing with their data once they leave these areas.
For me it was having issues kicking back to edge and even 4G signals would not pull any data, would simply say that I had no connection. Didn't matter whether rooted or not or which rom I was using.
Anyway,
I have discovered somewhat a fix for this issue.
Under Connections tab in Settings, click more networks, then mobile networks, then Access Point Names my Access Point Name was epc.tmobile.com.
I noticed in other forums their APN should be fast.t-mobile.com so I thought I'd give it a try and incredibly my results were pretty good. It goes in and out of LTE areas pretty smoothly in comparison to losing data altogether.
Give it a try and report back.
Thanks
I was experiencing drop of data connection for long period of time (at least 5-10 mins) every time I leave the house, losing my wifi connection. More than once it just won't connect at all for a good couple of hours. I just did a test today, messing with the APN, network operator settings and get it to connect to 4gLTE. Once and turn on and then off the wifi, I lose the data again. And it wasn't gonna come back.
The fast.t-mobile.com address seems to do the trick and I'm now immediately on 4gLTE after losing wifi. and the speed is AMAZING at 24,000kbps download and over 10,000kbps upload.
Thanks!!!

great find, I must have switched between 5-7 different roms trying to figure out why I'd lose data for up to 20min. after coming off wifi. Once I got reconnected to 4g I was afraid to even turn my wifi back on.
This seems to me to have just started recently, I'll have 4G but I might use the elevator at work and lose my connection, upon being back in service I'll be stuck on Edge for about 10-20 minutes before it picks up the 4G connection again.
I've been switching to Airplane Mode then back and that seemed to help but it doesn't any longer.
My APN is already fast.t-mobile.com, is there any other solution to fixing this?
EDIT: If I reboot my phone it connects to 4G immediately, and I'm using a Rooted Stock MDL Build w/ the Faux kernel.

I'm on the MDL baseband.
I'm looking is there a way to flash the MDB baseband?
Once and turn on and then off the wifi, I lose the data again. And it wasn't gonna come back.
The fast.t-mobile.com address seems to do the trick and I'm now immediately on 4gLTE after losing wifi. and the speed is AMAZING at 24,000kbps download and over 10,000kbps upload.

No LTE after rom install

I have a S3 i747 and have tried several different roms and always lose my LTE. After install it jumps back and forth between H+ and 3g it never stays on one. I have tried installing LTE fix and it does not fix problem. I also tried manually entering correct ATT setting but still nothing. I tried speedtest after to see what my speeds where and H+ is around 3mb download and 3g is around 500kb download. please can anyone help

Do you still have your imei? That's located under settings, about phone, and phone status.

Yeah that happens when going back to a tw rom from an aokp. What you have to do is backup your current rom, restore a backup of your stock rom once you're in there go to more settings you should find the option for lte in there choose it wait for it to connect and once you're connected just restore you're rom and you should have lte.

Ok I can help you fix this no problem. First things first, do you have nandroid backup of your stock rom? You know that's the first thing to do before you flash right?

This is slightly different than the guide posted above and has worked for me every time.
Go into your phone dialer. Enter *#*#4636#*#*. Go to phone information, and find the drop down menu. Select "LTE only". This should force LTE. Then you can select LTE/... Whatever one you want, and it should start connecting to LTE by default. If it didn't work, then LTE is unavailable to your phone for whatever reason.

So if i am not in a LTE area will i still have 4g cause right now it bounces between H+ and 3g. it does not hold H+ very long then goes to 3g for few minutes then back and forth and download speeds are crap. I was getting .22MB.

If you are not in an LTE zone, you cannot connect to it. If your phone says "4G", it is referring to LTE. "H+" refers to HSPA+ which is more accurately 3.5G. If your phone is switching between H+ and 3G, it may just be corresponding with your data activity, where H+ is active and 3G is inactive. It may also be because of poor connection, which could too be why you're getting bad download speeds.

That's strange. Try downloading this app.
