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

I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this and this only happens after a period of time where the LTE will just stop working but if you switch to CDMA it's working fine?
To go a step further I've wiped the phone and restored to stock. Once that's done LTE is working fine.
To go further again, I grabbed a different ROM and the exact samething happens, I'll be able to be on LTE for about a day and then the service stops and if I switch it to CDMA I'm good.
Just wondering if anyone else here has noticed that.
Cheers,
did you verify your APN settings?
i'm using a Bell version GN2 but on Fido and i can flash all day everyday and 4g has always worked.

The APN settings are always the same with Bell. They don't change.
HSPA+ will work but LTE will die after a little while. (This only occurs on other ROMS). If I stay on the stock rom there's no problem.

On a different note... I noted that if I have SAMBA Fileshare on I have strange things that happens DATA wise.... I'm still looking into it and dropping logcat and looking at different possibility.
At this point it's looking like something with the SMB Fileserver I have on the phone. (Will know later on)

im not saying the bell apn has changed but ive found that sometimes when flashing roms, the apn settings arent included in the rom and have to manually be entered.
This happened alot when using my galaxy s2 lte.

I've seen many places stating that it is okay to run a T999 ROM on the T999L, so I gave it a shot. First with Hyperdrive (which wouldn't give me any internet at all) then with Dandroid which I am getting internet, how ever it will only give me H+ rather than LTE. I changed the APN to fast.tmobile.com, is there anything else I need to look for? I know in the about device settings it says I'm running a T999 rather than T999L.
Thanks!

Make sure that the baseband is still MB7 and you should be able to get LTE with no problem. Also, make sure that the "Network Mode" is set to allow LTE. Also again, the icon might NOT say "LTE", it might say "4G"
When you flash a T999 ROM the build.prop file lists it as such, but you can edit it to add the L with no problem. I do that (this is the reason that I stopped using the nightly builds, I got tired of changing it)

Awesome. I didn't know that. It does show 4G sometimes and sometimes H+. I do have MB7 baseband still and under network type it says LTE:14 so I guess I am good to go. My average download speed is between 10-14mbs. I just switched from ATT where it was 26mbs average so I guess I was assuming speeds would be similar between the LTE networks.

Nailed It!!
You got it exactly right, if the Network Type is LTE you are on LTE. The DL speed will increase closer to the tower with LTE.

And just so you are aware, there's a thread dedicated to the T999L that has this and many other questions answered. Links in my Sig, but it's usually close to the top in q&a.

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.

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
