Hey guys. I'm kinda stuck here. I am getting no LTE service on my phone at all. Of course those idiots at straight talk keep saying im provisioned for it but nope, not getting it. I tried everything I can think of from factory resetting to apn settings and nothing. When I go into my network it bounces between HSAP and HSPAP but no LTE. I live in an LTE service area and was getting LTE up to about a week ago but then suddenly it was gone. Any ideas as to what I can do?
Can ask what are your APN settings?

I don't understand what's goin on. It just doesn't work anymore for some reason. And ST troubleshooting is non existent. All they tell you is to put in those apn settings and it should work. Well it isn't dumbasses!....lol
Also port :80 . I have straight talk too. Your apn looks right
My wife has the Optimus g and her LTE is working just fine. WITH the same APN settings! The last thing I remember doing was going through the hidden service menu but I didn't change anything in there. There is nothing you can change in there to make your LTE stop working. I know with some phones you can but not with the OGP.

Ok guys. I got the issue resolved. I used this method here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351041
The only issue I had was for some reason I couldn't manually edit the build.prop. I had to install JRummies Rom Toolbox Lite and that did the trick.It's so nice to have my LTE back!
Thanks for the link. Always liked to manually set to 2g or 4g when lte was weak. One reason I always installed custom roms and didn't stick to stock.

Personally I don't worry too much about it. Being on stock with this phone gets great battery life. So no need to turn off the LTE to conserve battery.

So I am now on my second replacement phone. With the first phone my proximity sensor and brightness sensor wasn't working, now I believe I may have radio issues.
I have been searching and have seen mostly wifi issues but no 4G issues. I'm experiencing both and nothing here seems to help.
With my 4G ( LTE here yet) it will say it's connected with 3 or 4 bars but will not pull or push data. The 4G icon gets to work but the browser sends back an error saying that it's not connected when I of course have decent service and can still text and call. Of course turning wifi on fixes the issues but then the wifi continues to disconnect and reconnect etc.
It does this on stock, and the insomnia rom.
I've tried flashing the different official radios also with no luck.
I've dealt with different tiers of AT&T technical support twice for the replacement and current, they said my imei number was incorrect (for both) and a few settings since I ported from T-Mobile (They even entered my phone number wrong during the porting at AT&T), the AT&T guy did a few things over the phone and it sped up my data which was incredibly slow at first but still had the random connected no push pull data issue which requires me to restart my phone or when that doesn't work a battery pull. This happens multiple times throughout the day.
Also no service outages in my area as said by AT&T They will call me back tomorrow to waste another 3 hours of my day with worthless troubleshooting.
Should I go back to AT&T label this as another DoA and try another S3 device?
Is there a simple fix?
Could someone point me in the right direction please!
I'm still in my 30 day return period and if the quality of experience doesn't improve for me with AT&T I would like to just get the T-Mobile version, I don't have much time left though so please help!
Thanks,
Mars
Seems to be data issues that involve flashing ROMs.
Did lte work before you flash and rooted the gs3

Well I flashed my a rom on to my S3 for the first time today to see if it would help but it seemed to make things worse and when I did get data to finally work it was very slow So i switched back to stock. This was even happening a bit before I rooted

just received my replacement and the phone is functioning correctly. They gave me a new sim card also. The phone is noticeably faster data as well basic usage. Will report back. Not sure if it was the phone or my SIM though
I had the same issue.. I could talk and text but no data. I called customer service and the guy noticed I didn't use the lte SIM that came with the phone. Apparently you MUST use the lte SIM! Hope this helps!

did you have no data? or would you have random hang ups.. like it shows that you have 4G but it doesn't push or pull data?
Have you tried APN settings
Have you tried adjusting your APN settings? It can be an issue more so when flashing ROMS. I had that issue as well when I first got my phone.... Most of the time they will set by default but sometimes...not nav to settings>more settings>mobile networks>access point names and set it with these settings

Also if your not on stock rom try fixing premissions in CWM
on APN type: I've got this: default,supl,mms . I don't have 'internet'. I've also seen 'hipri' in APN settings before, on my older devices I had rooted and flashed (running stock ATM, just got the phone a couple days ago and trying to see how much I actually used root).
Default,supl,mms is actually fine... that should be a working APN I just saw someone had internet+mms and could not change it so wanted to make sure. When you rooted did you flash a recovery like CWM?

Okay, so I'm currently running Jedi X 6.(something, the newest AT&T Rom). Now, I was running version 6 before with no problems. 4G was working fine (we recently got 4G in my area.) The tower is right down the road and I've always had full bars when on LTE. It seems that since, or at least within a few weeks of flashing this new Jedix6.whatever I can not for the life of me get LTE working. This isn't an "I can't tell if the icon means LTE" thread. I went into my "about device" and my mobile network type is always on HSPA:11, UMTS:3 or HSPAP:15. I tried flashing the stock modem in the "One stop shop" thread, I also made a new APN with all of the correct information for AT&T LTE. Neither worked. So my question is: is it the ROM? If so, what ROM definitely has it working? And if not, any suggestions as to what a fix might entail? It's probably a little selfish but I bought a phone with LTE capabilities and I'd like to use it. Any input is appreciated!

so you using the PTA apn? Cause a rom wont stop you from using LTE... So your saying recently 4G was turned on in your area? cause AT&T Calls HSPA+/3G they call it 4G and LTE is called 4G LTE.
Also how do you know LTE is not working? Speed tests? No 4G icon? No/slow data?
Just curious, because I have noticed sometimes when in 4G LTE areas my data is slow/unusable with full bars and legit 4G LTE connection.

i dont know whats in your market area, but in mine the LTE has been off and on the past few days
Okay, as I stated in the OP I have been using LTE 4G. About 2-3 months ago they put 4G LTE in my area which is about an hour from Cleveland Ohio. Also I frequently go to Cleveland on weekends and they've had it for at least a year, so I know it's not just the towers in my area, as I used to get LTE there and at home, and now I don't get it in either place. I know it's not LTE anymore because I'm getting the H+ symbol along with the info from "about device" that I put in the OP. If my phone was connected to 4G LTE it would say LTE:14. I hope that helped clear the air of some things... Any other ideas? So a rom won't affect it at all?
Also this is the APN I tried to put in:

Hello everyone,
I have a new AT&T plan with five lines, all using Samsung Galaxy S3s, all having the same problem. My 14 day grace period to cancel is almost up and I'm at my wits end searching for an answer. The phones are not rooted as I do not understand most of this technology; however I'm smart enough to know that this is a problem beyond rebooting the phone or resetting the SIM card, as every forum out there is telling people to do. Calling tech support (please don't make me) is a LAST resort for any device I own.
In the town where I work and shop I have no signal at all from AT&T. No voice, text, or data. AT&T coverage map shows "good" coverage in this town. Every so often I do get a weak AT&T signal but only for a few seconds. I do however pick up a very strong signal from a T-Mobile tower. I know that AT&T and T-Mobile both use GSM and should be compatible for roaming purposes, but the phone does not roam; it just shows a strong signal that I cannot connect to. Also, it switches back and forth between these two towers. I posted screen shots taken one minute apart.
In my phone's "Mobile Networks" settings there is no option to chose a network. There are only four options on that page: Mobile Data (checked), Data Roaming (not checked), APN, and Network Operators. I have tried adding a new APN but that did not work. The Network Operators tab says "Default Setup" and I cannot change it. I understand this is an issue with AT&T - they deliberately remove these settings.
I have gone through all the settings in Service Mode using *#197328640# looking for a way to enable the missing settings. I have already used the Service Mode to disable LTE (another setting AT&T likes to deprive us of) but that was not the problem so I put that back on automatic. I have also checked and unchecked every imaginable combo of settings such as wifi, data, airplane mode, etc.
I think the problem is either that the T-Mobile tower is interfering with what *should* be a good AT&T signal, or that the fact that I am "connected" to AT&T (albeit with no bars) is preventing me from roaming. I'd like to know if there is a way to disconnect from AT&T to test that theory. Also, I'd like to know if there is something I can do from Service Mode to enable the missing settings so I can set up roaming.
Thanks so much for any suggestions or help.

Just the default one called "ATT Phone".
I tried a Cingular APN in order to get a better connection to the AT&T tower, but it didn't work and I removed it. I found the T-Mobile APN info and was planning to try that next time I'm in town if I don't find some other solution first.
Is it the wap.cingular or pta one? You have to reboot after changing apn's but I'm sure you already knew that

I used the wap.cingular one and did reboot. Do you think this is an APN issue? I'm kind of at a dead end unless I find where to enable those mobile network settings. Thanks for your responses.

Unfortunately, it didn't work. I also tried to use a T-Mobile one and the phone wouldn't even let me save it.
I broke down and called AT&T tech support to find out where the roaming settings are in the phone... of course they didn't tell me, but they did tell me they don't have a roaming partnership with T-Mobile in my area. Therefore I'm out of luck and will be cancelling my contract.

So I'm using a Verizon LG G4 on Straight Talk AT&T sim. The reason being is that Verizon coverage is very poor in the area that the phone is used the most. I was able to get calls, data and texting working using the tfdata and/or RESELLER APN. I can't however get incoming MMS messages to work. I installed Textra to try and workaround the stock messaging app but it seems to have the same limitation. I also changed the settings from Legacy to Sytem in Textra but that didn't fix the issue. Does anyone know of a way to get MMS fully working using the ST AT&T sim on this verizon G4 device or is it not capable. Would routing the device make it so I could get MMS fully functioning? If so would I need to flash to AT&T firmware or would that not even be possible on this Verizon device? Thanks for any helpful advice you can offer. I've done several searches on xda and Google but can't find a solution. Thanks again. Steve

I've followed most of this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/help/guide-fire-phone-fireos-google-apps-t3206603) along with updating to 4.6.6, to set up my fire phone, and almost everything is working. I've activated the phone with a Cricket sim, and I can get internet and sms fine. I still can't get mms to send or receive. I've tried several different APN settings from the Cricket website and others. I've tried using the stock messaging app as well as handcent.
Is anyone else using Cricket with their fire phone and able to send/rec mms? If so, what are your APN settings?
My wife's fire phone is working with Cricket, including MMS. I think Cricket takes up to 24 hours to re-reoute SMS/MMS correctly. Maybe give it a day and see if it fixes itself.

I would have to wait until tonight to check her phone, but my Nexus 5 is working with those APN settings.
Well, it turns out the fire phone is set to use the AT&T APN. The Cricket APN is there on the phone, but the AT&T one is selected. And everything is working fine on her phone.

Thank you more times than I could ever say! I have a carrier unlocked LG H830 (G5), and have spent more hours than I'd like to admit trying to get outgoing MMS to work on Cricket Wireless. You name it, I've tried it. I would never EVER have thought to change the Network Mode. That fixed it. Granted, instead of showing "LTE", it's now showing 4G (3.5G), and my data speed down is about 5MB, but Cricket throttles the down speeds anyway. And, at home on Wifi, it doesn't matter anyway. So again, thank you!
For the purposes of future Google searchers:
For outgoing MMS to work on a carrier unlocked LG H830 (LG G5), the Network Mode must be set to GSM/WCDMA.
Regards,
Mark
