Ok so I have a Telus model and this started a few days ago when I flashed an AOKP rom...
So, I don't get LTE in my area and have always had 4G (or whatever they say it is).. Ive flashed many TW roms and ALL the roms have displayed 4g...and for not having lte, ive been very impressed with the speeds.
However, since this AOKP rom I installed (which was awesome, just wanted to go back to TW), it displayed H+...
Now, I know what h/h+ is and all that jazz about the carriers.. My issue is, can't flash any TW rom now without getting 3g/h/h+ toggling back and forth nonstop and the speeds are horrible!!! Can barely download in the store and loading a page takes a while.....and yes, I realize that its supposed to help with battery and whatnot but I don't like it and just want 4G back!!! lol
So far, I can only get 4g back when I unroot and do a hard factory reset...
And even then, it still shows h/H+ until I go through all the system updates.... then, I go to install another TW rom and I'm back with the h/h+ again...
I have tried the att fix, installing latest modem and still no luck.
I even asked to do a factory reset on my fathers phone (we are on the same family plan) and his shows 4g even when installing any TW rom...
Does anyone out there know what I did wrong?? also, my imei number is fine..
Thanks in advance to any advice or help

Yes apn checks out just and on LTE/GSM/WCDMA.
Its weird becase my father has the exact same settings. And again, showing his 4g.
As I type this, im on 3g and when I send, it will turn to h+. Speed is horrible

So it constantly switches between 3g, H, and H+ ? Have you downloaded a network signal app to see what kind of signal you are getting and strong it really is ?
When you say you have done a complete unroot and factory reset, what method are you using ? Is this where to flash an unrooted stock firmware from lets say Sam Mobile and then done a factory reset ? Or are you just doing another type of unroot ? When you root what method are you using ?
You stated you are on a Telus model but flashed an at&t modem ? Are you on AT&T service ?

Getting 5753kbps download and 905kbps upload .
Whereas before my kbps were always around 11-12000kbps for the download speeds.
I always flash back to stock rom using odin and then factory reset.
Oh sorry if I stated that wrong. I tried an att fix as well as flashing the most recent modem for my telus device but both fixes did nothing.
Again tho, ive done this so many times with TW roms and cant figure it out..
Im currently trying to go back to stock and use the most recent CWM to flash and see if that helps

It doesn't seem to make sense that even after going back to stock unrooted 4.0.4 (or what ever it cmae with from the factory) you still have signal problems as the odin packages would flash the correct modem once you install.
Sounds like network issues.
Speeds of ~9000kb are actually pretty standard for actual usage with H+/H/3G. Don't worry about speed too much. And for future reference 4G is H+, its just another name for it. The common misconception is that 4G is LTE which it is not.

Thank you for your reply.. yes I know what it means and its pretty cool. But again, my father and I are on the same plan, with telus with same phones. Going back to stock rom with odin still shows h/h+ when it should show 4g. I kniw they are the same, but the fast dormacy is a pain in the rear. My father and I are currently running the same rom with the same service getting 4g on his and h/h+ on mine

No kidding!! Ive done this a thousand times and have never seen it before..so starting to grt frustrated when told that its normal lol..
So when I get to 4.0.4 its still h/h+, but when I update the first time from samsung, it then shows 4g and my speeds are back to normal. But then as soon as I flash afyer rooting, it gies right back to h/h+ fast dormacy with no way of going back unless i do a hard factory reset again.

Are you sure it is the exact same version that you are running? He didn't update at all, no matter how small the update? If you flash from odin, everything that you did in the past should be overwritten. Go to settings->about phone and tell me what both of your baseband/build versions are

Ok so the baseband is I747MVLDLK4 and build version is 2.4? lol
I will unroot and flash back to 4.0.4 with a factory reset and then update this post.
Really appreciate ur help
Btw.. I downloaded the whole odin/telus stock tar md5 and recovery about a year ago and have been using that for both of our phones. I will update in a coupke of hours
Also, when I flash back to stock and get the 4g back is there a way to save the modem and/or other files needed to bring over to another rom?
Ok so here is the image I took of my phone info..
I would have to put my fathers back to stock to see if there are the same... but Im now on 4.0.4 with h/h+ still present. Im gonna do a hard factory reset to get the 4G back and then see about trying other things.

Yes, this I understand... but with the 4G displaying, I get NO fast dormancy causing download issues and on top of that, my download speeds are 11-12000kbps.. when showing h/h+, Im getting half the speeds and constant toggling from 3g/h/h+ is driving me up the wall!!
again, Ive never seen this on my Telus TW roms..
I will be unrooting and going back to stock with odin...then doing a factory reset..it will still show the h/h+ unless I do 1 of 2 things....either do a hard factory reset using *2767*3855#, or by simply doing a Samsung update...then after one of those, 4G will be back and so will my speeds.

general rule of thumb, touchwiz roms cannot be built from source. The only way to mess with these roms is with winzipping and adding apps (i call it bloatware) to be honest, if you want customization go to AOSP. Every single time I use a touchwiz rom no matter how smooth its says it is, I get crashes, bugs, irreversible issues like you have, loss of connectivity, the list goes on. Thats all because of the limitations of not having source code, I would recommend you drop the touchjizz and find an AOSP rom you like, if not, stock rom is the way to go.

Can anyone confirm that copying this and then injecting it after a flash would work?

That your opinion is somehow fact. That somehow using a TW rom will just give you bugs and ruin your phone, as if a custom rom doesn't have glaring bugs as well. It's quite awesome the amount of customization that the dev's on the touchwiz rom's are able to inject into their rom's. Anyonr who thinks it's just unzipping files and adding apk's is uninformed. Is it on the level of PA or AOKP of course not but with more customization you add the possibility and almost the certainty that you have bugs and instability. We are quite spoiled on the i747 that we have kt and Task developing rock solid custom rom's. Most out there don't have that pleasure. If a TW rom on here is unstable it's because the dev has fallen short some where. I'd say I fall in this category and I am certainly no dev, just a noob cook. Equating TW rom's from 2.2 to the ones we have now is just fallacy. I do agree not having the source code put's dev's on the
In general I have had to deal with more bugs and instability with custom rom's than I have with a stock based rom (stock meaning what came on the phone). Yet that is not a gripe but merely the fact that I don't like to deal with the little things that pop up on custom rom's, and I prefer the aesthetics of TW. Crazy I know as many find it ugly.

Choose all lte first then automatic. Since your stuck on edge select all wcdma too. Just select automatic as the last thing you do before exiting that menu.

Great directions guys! it's working now.. Whew, I missed my 4g...
Well, you all helped me figure out how to get 4g, Now how do I get it to stay connected.. It will only stay connected for a few mins now, then it goes to E.. I can get 4 g at will now, but it won't stay connected...

also try switching mobile networks to LTE/CDMA/EVDO and then doing a reboot directly afterwards. that usually works.

While you are on touchwiz, do a factory reset, and then do a hands free activation by dialing ##72786#. Let it activated a prl update etc, the check if you can connect to LTE.

i got a rooted s3 and i like to flash roms. i recently flashed dandroid but i went back to stock by odin. originally my icon is H+ but after i used stock firmware from sammobile ( i got an unlocked, non carrier version s3) the icon became 4g. i notice since then my speed has been worse because its really unstable, the signal doesnt drop but it never connects. I mean like those tiny arrows that tell you if theres any data moving dont do anything. Even using a lightweight browser like opera mini is slow now. Is there ny way to go back to before? btw i already tried reflashed and wiped data.

Stock rom shows 4GLTE no matter what you are getting. Go to the "about phone" and look for the current data type. For me it says LTE:13 or something to that extent.
A word of caution, cause it just happened to me. Be sure to backup you IMEI if you haven't done so and put it in a safe place, or two! I don't think you have this problem now. In settings-about your IMEI would be 0. I had a backup but freaking lost it somehow and had to get a new phone. I could not get data even though my arrows were moving as well, but it only showed E and G networks. The list of modems is in the Sticky and there is no better one. It depends on your area. Have you checked your APNs? Sometimes you have to enter or reenter them manually. There are tools to back them up. Its in the settings-more-mobile-access point names. The newest one i believe is titled phone. might say pta as well.

So my dad trashed his E4GT by dunking it in a river. Then dropped it at work cracking the screen. Gave him my old one. Had a hell of a time getting it programmed to his line, but I got it. eventually had to flash the One-Click Stock (JB) odin to fix an issue where he could not connect to WiFi. After that, flashed Dirty Unicorn, and all was good. Or so we thought (we were in range of an Airave). Seemed he no longer had any reception off of the Airave. After much searching it seemed possibly due to the fact that the phone refused to leave WCDMA mode. Long story short, I fixed the issue by starting back on Stock Rooted (JB), getting fresh PRL and Profile after wiping EVERYTHING i could find, and then flashed back to DU. He was totally fine for two weeks. Now all of a sudden he again has no signal off of the Airave. He is in a bad reception area, but when it is working properly he gets enough to call, text, browse a bit, etc. But when it is acting up like this, he cant do anything at all off of Wifi and/or Airave.
TL;DR
Going from stock rooted JB to JB Dirty Unicorn, would that cause modem issues (being that the stock rooted most likely has a JB modem, and you arent supposed to use JB modems on JB Dirty Unicorn)?

ICS modem for DU..pretty much all aosp ROMs ( ICS to jb )..the latest ICS modem is FL24. Flash that modem or another ICS modem on the phone. Then do the temp boot to upgrade prl and profile.. If you're on stock again you can flash the modem and update the prl and profile.. Then flash DU.. Making the move to DU shouldn't have messed up the modem..if you did the above..

No I hadn't flashed an ICS modem. Everything you said the first time was correct. I went straight from JB Stock to DU. Spaced out on the modem because I was in a rush to get everything working. And when it actually did work fine for 2 weeks and now stopped, it threw me off.
I am going to see if tomorrow I can walk him thru the One-click to install FL24

Also JFYI, yes I know what it will take to update them, just wondering if having not done that yet is what would be causing there to still be a lack of signal

This is where I'm not sure, everybody says to update..but I have went without,but I did notice my signal bouncing around..... But I'm in a very good signal area.. I would say an update can't hurt...FYI...I get the best signal on gb27.. On touchwiz...of course. There are some good tw Roms out lately..too. You could always go back to stock to see if its the rom/modem..Then work back to cm/aosp or tw... This signal stuff is funny to mess with..what works for one might not for the next.. I can't remember what carrier you have but a signal repeater might be a choice..

Sprint. He has gotten signal where he is before in DU (and that was with a JB modem, no less) for two weeks. It was low signal, but it was signal no less. Our only option is to get the phone working normal, a repeater will not do as he has no signal at his house, at his job, or anywhere within approx 60 miles of where he lives. Normally he has low signal, but atm he has zero. I am currently waiting for his download of a Stock Rooted rom to finish so we can flash that (which I know for sure will give him signal) then flash the ICS radio, update PRL and Profile, and then try DU again. If that does not work I will just have to have him stick to the Stock Rooted JB rom, since we know he gets signal on that.

Sounds like you have a plan..hope it works for ya.. if ya run into any problems don't hesitate to ask..
I've tried all sorts of roms, AOSP and Sense, they all stay connected to 4g for a few minutes at most after a reboot and then go back to 3g.
Everything else works fine, and my sim works good in other phones and stays on 4G.
Any idea what this could be or what is causing this?
Have you updated to the latest firmware? If your using kitkat roms, you need kitkat firmware. You can find the firmware in the second post of santods stock rom thread in development. Use the no boot.img one.

Yea I've flashed those also. Everything used to work fine until that roaming display issue. Never returned to normal for me, even tho roaming is gone.
Have you ever ruu'd back to stock and then done a factory reset from hboot? That is the only way to wipe out the network settings and force them to be updated. Worth a try i guess.

I guess that's my only option, thought maybe I'd be able to avoid it.
I'll try tomorrow and update.
Tried to ruu back to stock yesterday and still getting the same results. No 4g after a few minutes.

I'm not getting 4g at all on my phone. I came here to post a question and saw yours, so thought posting another thread would be pointless.
I've got NusenseSIX RC4.5 running and while the 4g icon comes on, there's no data transfer at all. I flashed the new firmware first, as instructed, and that seemed to go just fine according to the directions. But, when I swapped my sim card from my other One and waited a few minutes, even *228'ed, no data.
I got the phone already rooted and s-offed with TWRP 2.7.0.1. How do I get it back to stock to clear out the network settings? Or could it be a bad firmwware flash, so I'm screwed anyway?
EDIT: I redid everything, and just stuck with the Sense 5.5 mostly stock ROM. Data works now. Might've been firmware, might've been the ROM on my phone. Zero idea.
Is it possible to have a bad sim?
I just got a replacement device and I still cannot get 4G service for more than about 2 minutes before it switches to 3G

Sure, you can have a bad SIM, but I don't think that'd cause the drop in data transfer rate... lack of data all together, or other things not working, sure, but if you can actually catch a 4G link and then it drops to 3G, sounds more like the radios, the hardware, or just a bad coverage area. I'm no expert, though.
In case anyone was wondering, I ended up getting a new SIM and that has fixed my 4G issue. No idea what was wrong with the SIM, but anyway it sucked.
