so my carrier is metropcs and before deciding to root my phone i noticed that anything having to do with the tmobile variant works on the metropcs variant. i recently bricked my phone and lost all my data and even my recovery (forgot to move from storage to sd/computer) and i had to flash the tmobile stock. from there i flashed cyanogenmod 10.2 nightly and the appropriate gapp. now i noticed the under mobile networks ->access point names it lists by default a tmobile one(fast.tmobile.com). considering im from metro is this okay? and i noticed my signal bar now reads h and dc and i no longer get 4g or lte signal. i have tried 2 different metropcs apn's (fast.metropcs.com and if i tried the one named "internet" it just disappears). the fast.metropcs.com one works and i get an lte signal but i can not receive calls or sms. any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I Google and tried another apn.
According to the post it is the stock metro apn setting, however I noticed if the lte signal is on I cannot receive calls or texts. This is distressing because I can browse the Web but can't receive anything or send anything.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Could this be a big with cyanogenmod?

Hey guys! this is my first post on here and i need some help... I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 i747 and i rooted it, and put CM10.2 on it last night, everything went on fine however i used to have 4g everywhere and 4g LTE at my office, i noticed that CM10.2 doesnt support 4g for the S3(i dont know why...), so i cleared everything again and i put SlimBean build 5 on it.. still, my data is degraded one level.
my friend has the exact same phone but on verizon and his is working perfectly fine with SlimBean 5, i did use the AT&T version for the files on my phone. my Network Mode under system network settings is set to LTE/GSM/WCDMA and my APN is set to ATT (wap.cingular).. i tried the APN of ATT LTE (pta) and nothing changed..
any help on this is greatly appreciated!
again its an AT&T Samsung Galaxy s3 i747
did you reboot after you changed apns? have you tested the connection with an app like speedtest.net?
What is the icon by the signal bars? 4g? H+? Have you tried flashing the latest JB modem?
Hi all,
Before I rooted and put a costum ROM on this E980, I would get LTE service on this phone with the cricket SIM, about 6-8 mbps, since I put the custom rom on, I dont have any data from the get go, but if I put the cricket APN settings in, I get H+ data but its less then 1 mbps... I need to figure out how to to get the LTE to work on this.
When i try to enter AT&Ts APN settings into the phone, and I hit save, to save the APN settings, it wont save it and everything disappears. I've tried this on 3 different ROMS..
any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
If it was that slow it wasn't LTE. For example when using my Sim in a vzw phone if I set to global it would say LTE but be slow as balls, not send texts. When set properly it said H+ and everything worked

AT&T Caps cricket customers to 8MBps on the LTE network, at&t customers get 40mbps or so. but I'm getting under 1mbps... has to be some sorta setting or APN issue. When it used to say LTE, i was getting close to the cap of 8mbps.
Then try flashing a radio. The ROM itself shouldnt mess with anything like that really
All,
I have searched everywhere with all sort of keywords and Boolean but just cant seem to find any thread or response related to the issue I am facing.
I was traveling with my Tmo S4 running the 2/3 Nightly, when I went roaming and the carrier changed to ATT.
Now I am back at home, and the phone is just stuck on ATT as the carrier name. Everywhere, where it would say Carrier Name, it says ATT. I checked the APN and it is connected to fast.tmo APN. I also tried changing other settings hoping it would change but no luck. I have used up over 1 GB of data since returning back on Thursday, and if it was truly on ATT, I would not be getting LTE signal with the same download speeds and should have hit the Roaming allowance.
I even went to 2/8 Nightly, but still no go.
Any thoughts? Would appreciate it, considering that I have a passion for hating ATT, and having its name on my phone, makes me want to throw it away.
Thanks in Advance.

Good afternoon the issue I'm having is I have brought from T-Mobile over to MetroPCS (same company I know) my Samsung GSIII (SGH-T999). I rooted and Flashed a CM11 Nightly Build(not stable) (CM_d2lte 11-20150301) that would work on the MetroPCS network for non-MetroPCS Samsung phones. I also don't have any of these issues mentioned in their development Wiki: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Known_Issues_page_for_d2lte
Everything works except for I keep getting 3G instead of LTE using the fast.tmobile.com apn because the metropcs apn wouldn't work for me (although its a branded sim card from metro) and SMS I was only able to send out SMS during the first day of a fresh reinstall of CM11 Nightly Build and cleaning of the cache and system during recovery mode. The only way i can receive or send sms is through Whatsapp....
I've searched through the forums for any threads that have had a similar issue like:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875760
But I don't know if that will work with my nightly build and phone model because this is for Sprint GS3s and mine is from TMobile, don't know if there is really a difference.
TL;DR:
I Have rooted and flashed a CM nightly build for MetroPCS on a T-Mobile SGIII (SGH-T999) but SMS doesn't work and signal icon only says 3G apart from saying T-Mobile network but that can be because I'm using an APN for t-mobile. Main issue is not sending or receiving SMS.
Greetings everyone!
Signed up so that I can hopefully help someone else in need with their LG G3 phone using the Straight Talk 4G LTE Verizon sim card.
After many hours of flashing roms and trying out various things, it turns out for some reason other variants of the stock roms like Bliss Pop, CoudyG3, and Skydragon will not work with the data. I can still use my phone and make calls and i can still get text messages and even pictures sent through text messages, but for the life of me data would NOT work.
The only rom that did work again was the Jasmine rom. To my understanding it works pretty close to the stock verizon rom that comes with the LG G3. After the flash, BOOM! Everything worked and data came back to life.
I noticed the APN settings is very very different but this rom wont let you go in it to see it's settings. Surely there is a way to import/export the APN data to push on over to another custom rom? Just weird that after putting this specific custom rom data happily worked again.
BTW, if anyone tries to activate a verizon lg g3 with straight talk, be careful. Though their stupid website said that the phone was already registered with another tracfone provider/service, I was still able to get the phone to work. If after entering your MEID/EMI or whatever the numbers are and the straight talk website spits it back out at you, CALL straight talk. I got screwed and used up the network access code which somehow got lost into oblivion, but turns out that they themselves can manually add the Verizion 4G LTE sim card with the network access code card. (I bought the 4g LTE sim card package from wal mart). As long as the phone is in good standing, it will work!
Thanks. Hope this helps someone else out trying to get it to work with straight talk. I will try and see if there is a way to export this APN setting. I was told by straight talk that you don't need an APN set, but i think they are lying.
Peace!
solved
Back again,
Happy to report im using skydragon Rom with straight talk. Turns out you do in fact need to set the apn in the settings. Just add this apn
acct.tf.gw6.vzwentp
This is the apn for the Verizon 4g lte sim card when you use it. I didn't have to reset the phone but now data works great.
Hey question. I have a Straight Talk S3 currently running CM 11 kitkat based rom and things work great but I found other roms I want to install one of them being a Pac-Man custom rom but I have no data. I have a Verizon CDMA 4G LTE sim coming in acouple days just need the apn settings. Could anyone help me out with this? Thanx in advance for any help.

Surely it is the same APN setting as above. Try it out once you get your Sim card. Also, that S3 being a different phone may pick up on the access point names when you try another rom and set itself up, but if data is still not working, then try that APN I posted on the first post.
Also, be careful that you are actually connecting at LTE speeds as long as your area has it. Flashing to another rom I was only connecting at 3G. Turns out that once I tried another rom, you have to set the preferred network to LTE, then give the phone a reset. It took it a moment after reboot, but LTE finally showed up.
Depending on your phone, there are other settings to be set in it's hidden menu settings using the phones dialer. Just google around.
Hope this helps!
