Hey guys,
Two issues with my new phone. First is I am unable to modify my APN settings, they are listed as "locked" and greyed out when I attempt to modify. Adding a new APN works, but I am unable to select it as the phone immediately switches back to the default APN.
Anyway to change this?
Also, my phone seems to be defaulting to HSPA+ instead of LTE despite the fact I am in an area with decent / good LTE strength. I'd much rather use LTE because of the increased upload speed over the HSPA network. Anyway to force this?
My phone is rooted via the all in one toolkit.
Thanks.
Under APN type do you have default in the beginning?

Hello,
I'm having an issue with the rom I have (AOKP Ktoonsez) when I turn on data I get H+ at the top. How do I get LTE? I went into that menu by putting in *#*#4636#*#* in the dial pad and putting it into GSM/LTE, but I still get H+. I'm with Virgin Mobile Canada. Here's my APN info:
Name: Bell
APN: pda.bell.ca
Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
Port:80
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
MMS Port: 80
MCC:302
MNC: 610
Authentication Type: Not set
APN Type: Not set
Anything missing? This rom does have LTE and I went into the FAQ page, the dial pad method was the only way we could turn LTE on. Thanks.

I'm on att so I'm not entirely useful in the regard to the fact tour on virgin, but are you absolutely sure that apn set up is for lte, that's the first thing I would check.

Yea I know you can get lte working just do a search there is a thread on it and it has everything you need to get it working.

Delete all your apns. Do a new one for bell lte. Then changed preferred network to lte/gsm. Restart phone right after. You should be able to start seeing 4G now. Make sure you remember to restart phone after you change the settings.

Alright, I think I'm going to call them to get the LTE APN in case I am actually missing something. Otherwise I may need a SIM card change.

In the *#*#4636#*#* menu under phone information, try setting it to LTE only and see what happens. I keep getting H+ or less on my CM10 rom unless I do that even when I'm in an LTE area.
Make sure you have LTE/HSPA enabled in Settings>Wireless and Networks (More...)>MobileNetwork>Network Mode. Sometimes when I flash a new rom it changes. I have it HSPA only because saves battery.

When I set it to LTE only, I lose signal to my carrier does that mean anything at all? And for the options under settings I only have a choice between two, GSM/WCDMA/LTE and GSM/WCDMA preffered.

Pick the lte mode and click the lte apn and restart your phone right away. It should work right after. Btw if it says 4g,it means lte is working

Also a Virgin Mobile Canada customer and my S3 has NEVER said 4G or LTE in the signal bar.... H+ is what it displays on stock touchwiz, AOKP CM10...
I'm a Virgin Mobile Canada customer as well. I've set my preferred network type to LTE/GSM auto (PRL) by accessing the "Testing" menu (dial *#*#4636#*#*) and have selected LTE/GSM/WCDMA by going into my mobile network settings. The only two modes I can select from are LTE/GSM/WCDMA and GSM/WCDMA preferred
I've noticed the following:
-most of the time I'm on either the HSPA or HSPA+ network
-there are times at which my notification bar shows 4G (which I assume is LTE) but it definitely isn't as frequent as when my phone was unrooted and on stock
-this one is weird: occasionally I lose total mobile and data connection for about a few seconds and a "warning" icon shows up in the top left corner of the notification bar. When I expand notifications it says that the connection to the VIRGIN mobile network has been lost..or something along those lines. I'm usually able to reconnect automatically within a few seconds but this is definitely a weird one since I've noticed it only after flashing Task&Ktoonsez AOKP. Anyone encounter anything similar to this?

Hmm maybe this is just Virgin Mobile problem? Thing is the ROM I was on before, (Team Insomnia JB Touchwiz) it showed 4g when I turned on the mobile data but I was getting no where near LTE speeds. I also tried switching to LTE mode and clicking the LTE APN and reboot, but all it does is go back to WCDMA Preferred mode. I got a SIM replacement from Virgin Mobile but still no luck after this.
EDIT: I think I got it, if you recently were on a Virgin Mobile Supertab or changed from an older phone that didn't have LTE, make sure that Virgin Mobile systems know that you own a Galaxy S3. I went into my Virgin Mobile "My Account' and it showed my phones it only listed the HTC Legend I had few months ago, but not the S3 itself, and beside it saying this device runs on a HSPA+ network. I'm getting this fixed on Monday so I'll see what happens then. If somebody can do it sooner though if they have the same issue, that would be great too.
So I own a D851, currently on T-Mobile with good LTE speeds in my area but quite often the phone switches to HSPA and doesn't utilize LTE coverage when I need it. I end up having to either switch data off/on or accessing the radio settings menu and setting it to LTE ONLY. I understand the slower network coverage saves battery but to just stay there I don't get when I'm getting download speeds of 9mb on HSPA and 30mb on LTE in the exact same spot. The thing that sucks about setting the radio to LTE ONLY is that I can't browse while on a call. Anyone know a workaround?

I had the same issue with ATT, unlocked phone. Made sure the APN was correct, tried may other APN settings, and finally called Consumer Cellular. They advised I did, indeed, have the correct APN (my first version). They did some type of reset on their end, and viola.
On my OnePlus it was the similar. APN was correct, same APN as the G3, but until I called CC, and their reset, phone would not show LTE at all, only H and H+
apn settings?

What are the apn settings that are working for you? I've tried several times to address this issue with CC but lte STILL isnt working on either of our 2 devices. Had no problems when used with an att account.
I am still having this same problem on my LG G3 (vs985) on Cricket Wireless
I purchased my phone (h815 US model) online from swappa and I love the feel and look of the phone, Love the camera, BUT my phone wants to stay on hspa all the time. Where i had 3 or 4 bars on my s5 active I get HSPA unless I go in to settings and sellect ATT:LTE from network operators which only last until my phone goes to sleep then im back on hspa. Anyone else experiencing this? Or anything i should try? Thanks in advance for any help!
Bumpers just in case someone who knows didn't see it. Sorry won't bump it again!

Maybe with hidden menu access via dialer,you can permanently enabled it...I don't know the actual code that might work for your device..but you can find it through here..In general threads maybe
I had to set the proper APNs on my H815, additionally I had to tell it to use GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto under Network Mode in the Mobile Networks settings.
AT&T APN settings

After that, it's been using LTE where available.

Thank you @Daptonic . I was attempting to use the "ATT nxtgenphone" APN because it works better on ATT devices but I guess the ATT Phone APN is needed for non ATT devices. Rebooted phone and it went straight to 4g. Thanks for responding.
Edit: dammit, it went back to hspa again......
I may be trading my Verizon G4 for a T-Mobile H811 but before I go through the trouble I'd like to see if my problem can be fixed.
My network options are:
Global no sub-network menu
LTE/CDMA also no sub menu
LTE/GSM/UMTS with sub menu options LTE/Legacy 3GPP multi, GSM/GPRS/EDGE only, and UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ only and the option to choose network operators.
When I choose LTE/CDMA I get 4g LTE all the time, great speeds, but am unable to send texts, not sure about calls(don't use the phone much for calls)
If I choose Global I get intermittent LTE but mostly HSPA or HSPA+. Again texts only work when it switches to H.
If I choose LTE/GSM/UMTS I mostly get HSPA but occasionally it will switch to LTE.
I'm not used to having all these network options to choose from. I've tried a few different APN settings and all give the same results. I'm in a very good LTE coverage area and my G2 always ran on Band 4 LTE which is enabled on my G4 and obviously works in the correct mode based on my speeds 28mbps down, 18mbps up. Plus Verizon LG G2's are able to work correctly on T-Mobile's network and they have the same bands as the G4.
If my phone has the band's enabled to work with T-Mobile, namely band 2 and band 4 LTE, then why can't I always have LTE AND be able to text and call at the same time?
If anybody has an answer to this I'd love to hear it! Otherwise I'm going through with the trade (and trouble of setting my phone back up all over again).

Have you tried to delete the Verizon Apns? I used a Verizon g3 on ATT and had some issues until I cleared all APNs and set new ones up.

I'm having the same issue, i just got mine yesterday. I tried rooting and trying to disable and enable lte bands from the hidden menu but it didn't do anything. I also tried the epc apn and for some reason still kept giving me lte like the settings aren't saving.

My tip to you is don't disable any of the bands. You can enable all you want. I made the mistake of disabling thinking it would force the phone on certain bands. Then went out of town and lost all data. Somehow I remembered the command prompt line to get back into the hidden menu, re-enabled and I at least got edge...

I got same problem while my G3 VS985 does not
A while back ago I had to root my SGH-I747 model AT&T GS3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/help/help-solving-unfortunately-settings-t3199987
Now I'm running off a I747UCUFNJ2 bootloader and modem. I have access to my AT&T phone service and LTE service but now run into the problem of having it turn off and on especially when I go out to drive from place to place.
I sometimes change the preferred network type to different ones and that temporarily helps until it turns off again. I have read that Access Point Names (APN's) also affect signal connections to the network but not entirely sure how to optimize the settings.
I currently use the default ATT LTE APN.
I appreciate any help and info on this topic.
