When I first installed CM10 on my S3 I was having wonky 4G connections. I eventually figured out how to get LTE to stick by switching bearer off LTE, saving, going back in and changing it back to LTE. It worked for me and by the time the dailies arrived I rarely had to touch it.
Today I flashed 10/02 and noticed massive battery drain. I was also getting 4g showing with grey bars, not blue. So I rebooted and began to recharge.
Now I can't get 4g at all. I've messed around with the APN settings over and over without any luck. I just switch back and forth from 3G/H+
I checked my IEMI, Its there as usual.
I tried forcing just LTE through the dialer and just get grey bars (full) without any data connection.
Any ideas? Could my phone be just a dud and the best solution is to revert to stock and return?
Thanks!

Make sure data is enabled in the settings
data is enabled. I can get 3g/h+.
I also tried loading my last two nandroids. No luch there either.
I have the same problem as you, LTE just suddenly stopped working today, tried everything to get it back but no luck. On Paranandroid..would reflashing the modem/radio help at all?
possibly weak LTE area? seems to always be my problem... i'm on slim rom and can get lte if in the neighbourhood .. lol
Rogers is having problems with LTE today across the country.

Sometimes things like this make me doubt my reason for sticking with Rogers is reliability. Not just LTE today, there's also suppose to be a problem with RogersOne users in Ontario not being able to make or get calls seems to be fixed now. Had LTE for about 30 secs a minute ago and 4g is still really splotchy and keeps disconnecting.

They are adding lte coverage to a lot of cities since 01/10. That is why.
Keep calm and wait, don't blame your devices

I just recently bought a locked Rogers Galaxy Note II i317M and unlocked it using cellunlocker(dot)net; however, I am not getting a LTE signal on Bell for some reason — it's always just "4G".
I talked to a rep and he said that it should work since im in a LTE covered area. He also said that he can't help me further since I didn't buy the phone from Bell .
Anyone know what's happening here? Did the unlocking mess it up? Is that even possible?
I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks.

What are your APN settings?
Bell does not have a different apn for lte and hspa. After flashing some at&t roms, I am not getting lte at all. But the stock room is okay .
I'm on Rogers and couldn't get on LTE. It turned out to be my old SIM. Rogers replaced it and voila, LTE. Not sure if Bell has a similar issue with older SIMs or not, but maybe it's worth a try.
i flashed the Rogers modem. Works now.
Yeah check your apn settings and post them here

Ya. Its the same with Bell. You need to get an LTE sim card otherwise you'll be stuck with H+

I have a corporate unlimited data plan from a while ago I get hspda+ all the time but never got lte. Im just curious do you need like a specific lte plan or you just receive lte in the coverage area?

You don't need an LTE plan on Bell.

Sometimes changing the apn to proxy.bell.ca instead of pda.bell.ca would fix the issue. . Although tried both ways on my SGN2 - both worked out well..

How do you change the apn? I found it but its all greyed out

Iniquity0411: all the older UMB, UNPDA and any other unlimited data plans are not eligible for LTE. If you want all the nitty gritty details, you should be able to find relevant posts on HowardForums.
lte not working for me
hi guys i recently flashed miui for my note 2 and noticed im only getting 3g, my APN settings look the same and ive also played around with them but always end up with either no internet or only 3g. any suggestions?
As a canadian multi-carrier cell phone salesman you do need a data plan, sim, and phone all to be lte enabled for lte service. If you are on a plan roughly two years or older you most likely did not get upgraded to lte data. This sounds like your issue here, and you would have to go talk to your corporate to have the plan changed over. I'm not sure if its a personal under a corporate (this case changing should be easy) or a giant bucket plan, in which case good luck.
Rogers is the only canadian carrier to have an lte APN.
and lastly your bell micro sim should clearly be labeled LTE, and for others FYI Telus sim cards should be V31, and rogers I believe its B010 if memory serves me right.
On the note 2 lte is already a default setting if already enabled.
well i guess then miui for the note 2 is not an lte rom because ive checked and rechecked my apn settings, and i have all the above that u mentioned, the stock rom (4.1.1) had lte but when i flashed miui all im getting is 3g.
apn settings all blank i317m
I did something in odin.
I am on 4.3 official firmware but I have no mobile data. I checked my apn settings and virtually all settings are blank. Not set.
Help please
Thanks
I've been seeing a lot of LTE buzz going around in the tmo GN2 forums and I want to get some clarification.
My understanding is that there are two versions of the T-Mobile Galaxy Note II: SGH-T889 and the SGH-T889V, with the latter being LTE-enabled. I have the SGH-T889. The buzz leads me to believe that the regular SGH-T889 does have dormant LTE capabilities which can be activated by flashing the newest radio. Is this true? Or is it only the SGH-T889V that has LTE?
I purchased this phone fully expecting zero LTE capability. All I really wanted was ~15Mbps, and HSPA+ typically delivers between 13-18Mbps depending on recenption in my area, so I'm pretty satisfied. However, I believe T-Mobile does have LTE in my area, so if my phone does have LTE capabilities that can be activated, that would be a nice bonus.

You are correct in believing that 889 has dormant lte capabilities.

Thanks for the clarification! Will flash the newest modem.
Reviving my own thread here, but I need some LTE clarification, part 2.
So, I'm in San Jose, which is suppose to be one of T-Mobile's LTE markets, and I have the latest modem (UVBMB4) running Sons of Android build 4. My network mode is set to "LTE/GSM/WCDMA", but I don't see any indication that I'm connected to LTE. My status icon is still H/H+, but one of the known issues is that the icon can be "wonky". Is there anyway to confirm wether or not I am connected to LTE?

I find that hard to believe. Again, San Jose is suppose to have LTE, and it has been reported to reach Fremont, which is 20 minutes from where I live in (North) San Jose.
One thing I've noticed, if I have the LTE option enabled, I'll lose all data connection after the phone sleeps a while. In order to restore data, I have disable LTE, and reset the radio (enable then disable Airplane mode).
I'm fairly convinced it's a software bug or configuration issue, but I suppose I could be in an LTE dead-zone. I also doubt that, since I live in a fairly open area, and cell phone reception has never been an issue for me, not CDMA, GSM, HSPA, or WiMAX, which was notorious for spotty reception. Not to mention, according to OpenSignal, it works down the street from where I live.

Why dont you go/call near by tmobile store and check.

Just because they say you have LTE in your area doesn't mean it's fully up and operational just yet. T-mobile is still working on getting ALL the towers upgraded for LTE. Give it time and you'll probably see LTE start popping up more and more.
And before you make comments about how they should have been prepared blah blah blah; go check the LTE thread because it's been done MANY times.
I have an interesting issue. My wife and I both have Note II's. I have a grey one, she has a white one. Both are on the latest Stock Rom and rooted, same kernel and modem revisions. Both phones on the dreaded 2000 PRL (Havent got around to flashing another one because we have an Airave 2.5)
My phone will not connect to 3g at all when I have LTE enabled. The other phone connects to 3G just fine with LTE enabled.
I have another friend that only sporadically connects to 3g with LTE enabled. If I set the phones that wont stay connected to 3G to CDMA mode everything is fine.
Any ideas?
Try automatic?

Does this happen around the airave? Airaves are known to cause a host of isues with rooted phones even with no custom roms

The only way to get 3g when lte is enabled is when you lose lte sinal is you just want to use 3g set it to cdam mode only if you set it to lte

Cdma only or global
I was reading some other sites and threads after I encountered a problem almost just like this because I had switched my signal type while on AOSP.
I discovered that because our phone are global they have different connection setting and in short when you switch to either global mode or CDMA only, and try to go back to lte evdo the phone will roam constantly and will not be able to reconnect to lte. So while I was trying to fix my LTE I managed to force my LTE on but I wasnt getting any cdma or evdo. finally I got everything back to normal by flashing a back to stock rom and doing a hands free activation.
I'm also have an overwhelming time with 3g. I have no lte in my area but have tried both CDMA only and CDMA/let settings. My 3g is on and off within 1 minute intervals or hours at a time. I pretty much have no data connection 95% of the day, until I get home from work and can hit WiFi.
I'm just stock rooted on MC2 and also on prl 2000.
I've been on the phone with sprint for days trying to figure this out or get them to waive my ETF. I refuse to keep paying for service when I am not getting any. It's bad enough they don't have 4G much less LTE here, but I can't continue to do these sub par dialup speeds to no speeds.
Any other tips to try would be greatly appreciated. As sprint says everything is fine in my area...
Go figure.

Yeah, same problem here. Somehow after rooting the phone i completely lost 4G LTE connectivity. Now everywhere i go it's only on 3G or EvDo Rev-8 which sucks. I think the only way of fixing toys issue is to Unroot and go back to stock ROM.
After doing a lot of research on the matter that is the only solution right now to our 4G LTE catastrophe. :thumbdown:

So I have a unlocked att xperia plat on T-Mobile. In my areabthebrefarkijg is complete and. I get hspa but only when I am about halfback mile down the street. I live at the base of some good size moutains and have been told that is why I am on edge data until I get further away from the mountains. I also have a tmobile signal booster that was provided by tmo. That being said in my house I have no dropped Calla but again unless I am on wifi at my house I am on edge.
My sister came by. She just got the tmo nexus 4 which with Tue current version of firmware doesn't support tmo lte in this area, yes I know I can downgrade the firmware for my sister hut she doesn't want to mess with it.
I was helping her set up her phone tonight and noticed she had 3 bars of hspa. Whereas o get no bars of hspa only 2-3 bars edge. I have the same apn settings as hers. Any ideas why her phone would get it and mine doesn't? Again immune areas tmo has converted to hspa att compatible signal. I am running the latest ftf with the .79 basrband
Could it just be hers is an official tmo phone and mine isn't? I checked all the apn settings, I checked to see in mobile networks if there was a 3G for tmo signal and all I got was 2G. Whereas my sisters phone was 3G on tmo. Not a big deal as I have excellent speed on my home network. Just curious. Thoughts anyone?
