Ok so i have the tmobile sim in my verizon phone I am using the fast.T-Mobile.com apn settings I'm in a 4g area. My issue is my phone rapidly changes from h+ to 3g, to 4g lte and very seldom edge..... Fyi happens as I'm at work so I'm stationary. Data works but kinda lags at times. Any thoughts as to why or what to do??? And I have tried ipv4/6 and just each respectively. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, I recently switched to wind mobile and I have a galaxy s2 X from Telus unlocked. The data speeds on wind are good for my usage, however, I've noticed that my phone keeps switching from UMTS to HSPA. While on HSPA the speeds are great. But it switches down to UMTS randomly. I know that its a system built into the network to switch to HSPA as soon as I start using data. But the problem is that sometimes it never switches and data becomes painfully slow even if I have 5 bars. Is there any way to fix this? To force HSPA at all times. I remember HSPA was on at all times while I was with mobilicity.
Please help, its really frustrating. The *#*#4636#*#* thing doesn't work also in the dialer.

If you're on stock, there might be an option in Settings>More>Mobile Settings. Check to see if there is an option for HSPA only, it may be set to HSPA/GSM.

basically it boils down to the tower you're connected to, there are 5 times as much customer on Wind than on Mobilicity, so every tower is taxed, specially in heavy populated areas
Hello all, I'm hoping somebody will be able to help. I've got a desire HD on 3 UK (I haven't contacted them coz tech support is useless and I don't want them to know I'm on a custom rom), running LordClock's ICS 8.6.1, My data works fine on 3.5g but as soon as phone switches to 3g I get no data at all. I've tried various roms I've Googled for hours and found no solution. I've checked APNs and tried various versions found on web, I've tried changing the WCDMA preferred option in hidden menu, I've cleaned and reseated the sim, and tried turning airplane mode off and on The annoying thing is data has worked on 3g on Ice cold sandwich in the past, I think v7.3. I was wondering if it had anything to do with build prop and have changed and added various lines but with no success. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated and thanks will be given to anyone who contributes. Thanks.
What do you mean by switching from 3G to 3.5G? There's only a toggle to switch between 2G and Automatic mode (2G/3G) in ICS right? How are you switching between the 2? Also what is this hidden menu where you switch to WCDMA preferred? (Just for my knowledge. I don't know about it). Does it work for you with different ROMs?

Hi sashank, I meant just that when I lose a 3.5g signal and it automatically drops down to a 3g signal I'm not switching it myself, and if u go into the dialer and type *#*#4636#*#* u get a hidden menu called Testing with gives u info bout network or battery, check it out, the WCDMA option is in Phone info.
Hi, I have exactly the same problem. just to clarify, I am on the 3 network too, and when I have H (HSDPA) signal, the internet works..and works well. however as soon as it changes to 3G..the internet doesn't work at all
you should consider flashing other radios
The default setting was set on GSM/WCDMA.
I have a rogers S3 so I changed the setting to LTE/GSM/WCDMA. It was working for a bit then my mobile data completely crapped out and i was only able to make voice calls. I switched it back to GSM/WCDMA and it works, however, the speeds are much slower compared to LTE.
Im not even sure if I was getting LTE at all at the LTE/GSM/WCDMA setting... since the phone only diplays 3g/H+ on the signal bar, it does not say LTE.
I checked the phones status and it did say LTE:3 when i was set on LTE, however, this is when the data was not working and the phone said not connected to network.
Set it to lte in the apn section and then reset your phone.
4g symbol is Lte speed

Hello I live in Miami Florida I just came from a note 2 and prior to that I had an s3.. Both phones while on the HSPA plus APN did very well with speeds. The s4 does pretty well with speeds but I do notice that the data will get stuck sometimes and you see the arrows working as if they are transferring data but in reality its stuck most of the time I have to turn on airplane mode and then turn it off to get my data working again. This happens on any ROM and I never had this problem before this phone. I know that they are working on towers but even on the HSPA plus APN I'm having issues which I never have many issues on this network with other phones. Even on the LTE APN I noticed that a lot of times when switching from LTE to 4G I get so call drops or I get the internet stuck and have to turn on airplane mode even togglingmobile data on and off doesn't help.. Has anyone else experienced this problem I'm wondering if we were going back to the first modem on the first firmware will maybe help? Or is it just them working on the towers? If anyone has a good solution to this please let me know

If you can live without LTE for now, go into Settings -> Connections -> More networks -> Mobile networks -> Network Mode -> select GSM/WCMDA (auto connect)
I've had issues around here where the modem REALLLLY wants to grab LTE, but can't, and gets kind of stuck. But, HSPA+ is also pretty solid around here.
So I'm wonder if anyone else has been having a problem with their 4G on MetroPCS. Like I've been having trouble receiving calls and using my 4G data. But if I go in my mobile networks settings and set my Preferred Network Type to 3G or GSM/WCDMA, I can get calls but I can't use data at all. But if I set it to 4G/LTE it works for a bit but the signal just slowly dies to just 1 bar and I can't do much except make a call.
