4G LTE for Sprint launched today in Atlanta and I am still on 3G. when I go into the (*#*#4636*#*#) setting menu under preferred settings their is no option for LTE just cdma,edvo,gsm and a bunch of other one with those bands mixed also followed by auto. mine was set to GSM/CDMA auto prl. the phone was fully restored using Odin with the fc12 stock tar and the fc12 lte tar and it passed. Should I have a LTE option in that drop down like I do in the regular mobile network settings menu? any help on this would be much apreciated because I can not find a pic of what the sprint gnex dropdown is suposed to look like although I found a bunch of pics for the GS# and that had LTE as a choice.

Hey All,
So, for some reason, I am unable to get LTE when i am flashed on the AOKP jellybean rom for the SGH-1747M (rogers)
I did everything that was stated in Task's Gerrit (Changed the connection for WCDMA to LTE/GSM auto), all that does is work for a while on H+, then disconnects.
I've changed my apn settings to the Rogers LTE settings, which just cuts off communication all together
Ive flashed Rogers Modems, still to no avail.
The thing that bothers me is that other sgh-1747M users claim to have been getting LTE on the AOKP jellybean rom.
My question is WHY AM I HAVING TROUBLE!!!??? I know the Rom was made for an At&T sgh1747, so people may say thats why its not working, but people with Canadian SG3's have been able to get LTE on the same ROM im having trouble getting it on.
If theres anything at all im missing, can someone please clarify exactly what im missing and what I should do to get it working.
I love the AOKP jellybean ROM, i keep going back to it, but the LTE not working just hurts my feelings (since I am paying for an LTE smartphone plan). PLEASE SOMEONE HELP!!!
PS: the first time I ever changed from WCDMA to LTE/GSM autom i got a 4G symbol for about 30 secs.....never seen it again! HELP!
i dont have a gerrit. so im unsure what you are talking about.
you need to add a canadian LTE apn and then do this...
Enter *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer
phone information
set preferred network type
change to LTE/GSM auto

I'm not really sure. Being as I don't have a Canadian model its not something I can test. But I'm sure some Canadian users will be posting here to help you out soon.
when i try to change the preferred network it will not let me change it to anything else but to lte/gsm (prl) (i have the AT&T version)

Thats interesting. Maybe its because you are actually using at&t network. It works when I put it on LTE/GSM, but all I get is 3G and H+
Check your IMEI in about phone/status. If its showing 0, there's a thread for that.
If you're getting 4G icon and your mobile network status says LTE and are getting LTE speeds, then its cosmetic issue. I had that problem before.
What I did was I flashed Kyan's ROM 1.3 cause its based off of Rogers firmware. Once I verified I had LTE icon on Kyan ROM, then flashed the stock/rooted ROM after.

Interesting. I will try that method and see what happens. Thanks for the info; will post back with results soon
Ok, so after going through the whole process stated above, i WAS able to get a 4G symbol come every now and then. But before the connection actually finalizes and goes through (before it turns blue on the aokp rom), it disconnects and goes back to WCDMA preferred. I added the rogers LTE apn, and using that apn with the LTE/GSM auto selected allowed the 4G to come, but it keeps disconnecting. It even sometimes changes back to other apns on the list by itself
Anyone know if theres a way to lock the preferred network and apn settings?
enter apn settings, then REBOOT phone. After that, enter *#*#4636#*#* into phone dialer and go change to LTE/CMDA/GSM. that worked for me, I just needed to reboot my phone for the apn settings to work

I stumbled upon this thread and the above solution using the dialer code. Worked instantly, no reboot required. I'm running R4INS AOKP Jelly Bean port on a Rogers SGH-I727.

Mine works until I reboot. Then it changes back to WCDMA. I'm on Telus.
LTE on canadian i747M (Rogers)
I had similar issue with LTE after flashing to AOKP rom. The fix provided by AOKP (after every reboot, type in *#*#4636#*#* and flipping the network type from WCDMA to LTE_only, then flip to LTE/GSM auto(PRL) ) works. LTE will show up as 4G. I have the 2012-09-30 AOKP build installed.
Yesterday all of a sudden I could not get LTE anymore. Not sure what happened as the only thing I did was to activate a new account on Google. Anyway the 4G/ flipping did not work anymore. Reflashed the rom several times, still the same issue, my phone will not get LTE/4G.
This morning tried the following and voila it worked, thought I will share this:
Flip the network type to LTE Only, there is no connection, REBOOT the phone.
1. After reboot, flip the network type to LTE Only again, this time, the connection worked - what a surprise/thrill.
2. Flipped the network type to LTE/GSM auto (PRL), connection was ok and 4G came on and stayed on. Did several reboots and repeated 1 and 2 and LTE/4G was ok.
Hope this helps.
I don't recommend you to use task aokp rom! You won't get LTE real speed and Dev won't help you since you are not an at&t user! He couldn't care less about the rest so try liquid jelly bean which is a lot faster and better or milestone 4 and aristodemo! They have better support although they are tw rom but worthy anyways

Task compiles that ROM based on AOKP source, but AOKP officially doesn't support att. Although I didn't have problems getting lte on his ROM the fact that you have to set it every time you reboot is why I am using cm10 for now otherwise it's a good ROM!
I'm having the same issues on my rogers branded s3. No matter what I do I can get lte to even appear. My apn auto rolls back to the provided apn and if I delete that I have no data at all. Hopefully this does have an answer because the Rom is amazing

Alright I think I have it figured out. I added the rogers APN related all others and the only change I made was I removed the info under APN type where it said internet+MMS and left it blank. Saved the APN rebooted and I have lte now. I even rebooted my phone and each time it boots up its showing 4g without having to play with any settings

okay so I just put AOKP on my phone and it appears that LTE is not working on it. I was getting and average of 28 down and 14 up on touchwiz now I am getting 3 down and .25 up. I cant take that. Its terrible. The icon bounces between 3g and 4g. But it should say 4g lte. I am on simple mobile and I am using the latest modem with the knox bootloader. And the latest AOKP nightly. Does anyone know what I need to do? Do I have to change something in the build.prop or something else? Any help would be greastly appriciated. Thank you.
Did you check that the "preferred network" was set to "LTE" and that the APN is correct? Most of the AOSP/AOKP ROM's i have flashed have been set by default to just run 3G/4G.

yeah its set right its just not running right.
Totally at a loss. Beanstalk, and 4 other newer os version roms I've flashed will not connect to LTE. The apn looks right. I even flashed the modem to the latest one. No joy... But if I flash back to cleanrom ace it works again. Any newer rom and only get H or h+. It will flash 3g for about a half second there switch to H or h+.

Does the APN say phone or pta ?
this is what i have to do to get 4g working. settings>more>mobile networks>network operator>at&t. After registering on at&t, i will be able to switch to 4g. this process may take a few tries and sometimes get stuck in searching....good luck

The apn called phone works for LTE on cleanrom ace but on every other rom it just does the same thing. Hits 3g for a second then switches to H.

I cannot select Att it's on default and will not change.
H is 4g H+is LTE. It depends on what rom base you have for what network speed icon you will see. It sounds like you are in an area with marginal coverage.
Just make a new APN, save it, then select it.
So there's a lot of people that have problems getting MMS working on Sprint S3's flashed to Virgin Mobile, and there's a lot of people trying different messaging apps and APN's. Well none of it works for me, and it seems like for most people too, and I think I know what could be causing it, but don't know how to fix it.
First, if you use the dialer code ##3282#, and edit the MMSC URL, it doesn't save it.
Second, all of the APN's are for LTE and eHRPD, and I think the phone is trying to send and/or receive MMS through only LTE/eHRPD and not through EVDO. Most phones people use as donor's are not compatible with these newer protocols and only use EVDO.
I tried using the APN from my evo 3d donor and it doesn't work.
So does anyone know how I can make the MMSC URL stick in ##3282"?
Have you tried *#*#4636#*#* and selecting CDMA auto (prl) ...as a non sprint user on my sprint s3 that works for me but does not stick after a reboot...have to change every time device is rebooted

I'm on a VM rom and that code doesn't work. Under ##3282#, More, HDR/1X Selection, i've changed it to "EVDO Only Mode"
Ah ok...I'm using liquid ROM....that code works on all aosp based ROMs though...not touchwiz...better off on a custom ROM if not sprint
