Depends what service u have, whether ur running on a CDMA network with a gsm phone, what your data settings are, APN settings, all these things matter, if u let me know some of these things I could answer your question a little easier

Try adding your APN manually at settings/more/mobile networks/access point names. I found the settings for Orange-Jordan by searching Google for 'jordan 3g APN settings'. http://www.unlockit.co.nz/mobilesettings/settings.php?id=297
If you are on a different network you can search for that instead. Good luck.

There is no reason why your phone should not connect to 3g the only reason for this would be if u were to say... Try and run a Verizon s3 on T-Mobile network, because one is a GSM network and the other is CDMA, other than that if your trying to connect an unlocked gsm phone to a gsm network you should have zero issues

I am facing problem with using 3G/4G connection after removing Juice Defender. I have tried the 2g/3g/4g switching function with the installation of AOSP helper.
Now when I turn on data connection, my SGW can only connect with GRPS. What should I do to get back my 3G/4G connection?
have you tried going to settings>wireless>mobile networks>network mode> and changing to either WCDMA or GPRS/WCDMA auto mode?

I am having a similar problem, only difference is that I have GSM/WCDMA (auto mode) activated and Use Packet data activated. The phone only picks up Edge. My mobile network carrier Digicel has confirmed thar my 3g/4g data plan is activated. Unfortunately my Galaxy W is unable to connect to there 3g/4g network. The mobile carrier has told me that the specs of the phone comply with their 3g/4g network but I have also read on their website that "Devices must have the 850MHZ band to work on Digicel 4G Mobile." and specs of the Galaxy W - 3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100.
Would like to know if someone can help with this problem or it is not fixable. Thanks in advance.

Settings -> 'More...' under Wireless & Networks -> Mobile networks -> Network Mode. Choose whatever option includes LTE (probably says LTE/CDMA like it does on my VZW Nexus).

Call Sprint and ask if there is an outage in your area, if not, they can probably help troubleshoot your problem.

I have recently flashed my phone from stock GB to aokp JB. The fone works great and would like to thank all the people who posted in here and got me up and running. My problem is that after i flashed i dont see tmobile as a network anymore. I only see att as a service provider. I have a tmobile sim card installed. i can make phone calls and data is fine but sometimes when i go underground and lose service my fone acts funny. For example phone.com fail. or i'll lose wifi...
any help would be appreciated..... yes i did for get to save my apn settings and i did try to search through the forums to no avail..

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.

For anyone having issues with getting disconnected from 3g network. If you find that you are continuously getting disconnected from the 3g network on Sprint, goto your network settings and change your preferred network setting from lte/cdma to CDMA only. That should keep you on the 3g network without having to continuously reboot all the time. It's not a problem with your Rom I think it's an issue with the lte network. Being that it may not be up and running in your town. Yes they are advertising it but it is not online across the entire country yet.

Hi guys, i have a s3 i747 that has been unlocked and ready to be used on other gsm networks.
I went to a metropcs store and had the phone activated and sim card inserted, my imei was connected fine and everything went great.
I instantly had EDGE(1x or 2g) and even after hours of searching and phone calls to metropcs all i can find is APN solutions that dont work.
I currently live in Dallas/Ft Worth so i know the LTE coverage for Metropcs/Tmo is amazing it just ill not connect to LTE.
How do i get LTE to work on this device ??
Phone Specs
Has root
Unlocked
S3 i747 from At&t
Worked fine on At&T for LTE
Su keeps for closing at start because it says security issues
Stock rom on 4.3 but it says custom build under about settings for some reason.
Data speed is about 0.09-0.10mbps
Any help would be great. Sorry if this is a repost of other types of threads but i never found answers and did not want to re awaken old threads.

This issue seems popular this week.
If it's like the others, it's an issue from unlocking. the nv file gets damaged. The solution so far is to use nv-reader-writer to copy another phone's nv file and replace yours with it.
have you tested *#*#4636#*#* method? just mess around with the preferred network and see
I'm on Tmobile and worked fine with LTE
Where could i find a nv file for the s3 i747?

So when i switch to wcdma it gets 4g but some reason my phone gets no signal, then gets barely any and it says emergency calls only. This is highly frustrating. Is there a guide for NV??

Sir, i tried to use the nv tool but it keeps saying phone wont connect.
i have the drivers installed, it sees my ports for the phone, i go to connect and it does, but when i click read device it fails. Ive had no boxes checked, one box checked and both boxes for spc and fast read(i think it is) checked. No Go either way. Any suggestions for this? Then i can see if the NV Writer is a solution. Also i can use my own NV file right??? Or would that just be a corrupted file being reloaded ?? If thats the case how do i find a clean NV file for a Samsung Galaxy S3 i747 for AT&T??? Thanks again for the help brother
I would think you would need to load an NV of a different s3. I will try to load my NV here in a few and see what happens. PM me also

Ok guys i tried some settings. a guy i know tried to inject the AWS for Tmobiles band freq. and it didnt work.
SOooooooooo im thinking we might have to skip AT&T phones on metro/tmo and get a tmo phone or a AT&T phone that supports AWS band freq.

Wait....How are you getting 4g ?? it might not be LTE but da*m its faster than Edge. Could you tell me your apn, and your settings if you changed anything since you first switched to metropcs.
Like dial star, hash(number sign)twice, the 4636 and star,hash star, hash and go to device info, then screen shot, then scroll down and screen shot again where i can see "set preferred network"
also man are you sure you have the S3 I747 from AT&T??
Make sure you are checking your connection in Settings > About Device > Status > Network Type
You cant always trust what's displayed in the status bar. Especially when using a custom rom or using a device on a different network than it was intended for.
Yea man I know. I've checked everything and says edge still.
I think it's based on your radio and kernel. Brad what kernel and radio you using.?
I'm on 4.3 Rooted and stock.
