Hey all yes I am a newbie, but I have been using roms for a quite a while I love the customization of the HD2, we are switching services in a couple weeks to either Verizon or US Cellular but this issue is bugging me like crazy, I used to be able to use my phone in the parking lot at my job, we arent allowed to leave on break, used to get 2-3 bars and an Edge signal, in a place Tmobile says I should have great coverage over the last couple days I have gotten no signal what so ever in the same place I used to use my phone every single day for about a year. I sit there for my whole break trying to talk to my wife while refreshing networks, auto selecting it or manually gives me 4 full bars and an edge signal then it all goes away. I guess why I am posting it to see if anyone has suggestions to what I can do to fix it. The phone works fine at home and on the road just not near work anymore. I have always used different roms, and never had the issue at all, always full task 29 wipes, my current build is
CyanogenMod Version PARANOIDDROID
Kernel 2.6.32-ics_tytung_HWA_r2.4_uniMAC [email protected] #272
Baseband 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14
Any suggestions are appreciated! Thank you again! Jake
I well ask a obvious question, have you checked your APN's. I knowyou are getting a data signal but maybe one of the APNsettings need to be changed.
Also do you have you checked in Settings/Mobile network/Network mode. See if you have WCDMA only, GSM only, or WCDMA/GSM auto.

Thanks for the response, my only APN is epc.tmobile.com and I cannot locate the network mode... No network mode setting that I can find.
Edit:: Found it its set to WCDMA Preferred is that what it should be?

Try WCDMA/GSM auto that way your device can switch back and forth as needed between WCDMA or GSM as it needs to.
Hello, I have no problem receiving an LTE signal on BCE (Canada) through the Phone Info Menu. I can select any of the preferred network types including LTE, LTE/GSM, CDMA, LTE/GSM/CDMA but it won't stay. Every day I have to go back into the menu and it reverts back to the first selection "WCDMA".
Does anyone know how to force this so it stays on LTE/GSM/CDMA. So it will stay on the LTE-enabled network unless there is a loss of signal and it reverts back to HSPA? It does this automatically when "LTE/GSM/CDMA is selected, but again reverts to CDMA within a day usually.
I did some searches here, but 99% of what comes up is just people asking how to enable LTE or if their network gets it?
Any ideas? Maybe some sort of macro thing.
Regards.
Add this line in build prob
telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1
Save
Reboot
Now in settings/more/mobile networks u will have an option to choose and it will stick. U have to add the line every time u flash ROMs.
But I keep iron WC DMA/gsm for better battery speed is OK on h+
Thanks for the helpful reply man. I haven't edited a build.prop yet, so Ill have to check it out.
Alright thats all done now, works like a charm. Like that I have the option now either way. I typically stick to WCDMA/GSM when on the road or at work where LTE is spotty, but on days off for around town I would rather just be on LTE as I usually just looking up something quick when Im shopping or something.
Thanks again.

Nice
I keep it at LTE, it does have less bars but quality is same for me, speeds are amazing. Also 4G is only data, not voice, so when u have an active call it will change to 3G.(but that's not the phone it's the network)
don't forget to do it again if you flash new ROM, also Tethering WiFi won;t work, there is a fix but it's complected for me, so I just go to W/G if I need to share connection.
So, my Nexus 4 shipped today, and it'll be in my grubby little hands by tomorrow evening. I, unfortunately, can't activate it until March, as I have to wait for my Verizon contract to end, but I keep seeing this LTE stuff, with no real explanation. I do know that the Nexus 4 has an inactive LTE radio in it, but what's the use of activating it, if T-Mobile doesn't have LTE? Is this only for the AT&T users?

There are other threads dealing with who can access LTE in the USA. I am in Canada and on Bell.
I'm in Canada, using Fido. I activate the LTE on my Nexus 4. It works fine, but I'm not able to share internet with wifi hotspot.
I have Android 4.2.1 (latest OTA from Google).
There is a bug with this version or it's only because I activate LTE manually ?
As per the previous comment:

I'm with the original firmware. Android 4.2.1

i recently got a rom from revolt on my n4 and i switched cdma to lte gsm wcdma auto
i also went into build.prop and wrote down telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1. i went and to setting, more, mobile networks chose the correct setting. so now i got 4G. great i can make calls. GREAT. but i cannot receive calls...
need help with this. im really choked about this ROM
Even if I select "LTE/CDMA" in the Mobile network settings menu. The settings page keeps displaying "CDMA preferred".
Does this mean it didn't work? In quick settings, I see my mobile data connection as 3G Bell.
LTE only seems to work when using the *#*#4636*#*# trick in the Phone app.

Thanks, but LTE doesn't work in my country, its always stick on lte/gsm/wcdma but it doesnt detect my gsm so i have to manually set it on GSM only but wont stick here every time i restart my phone i have manually set it on GSM only otherwise it wont detect my network
Any advice ?
How can I make "WCDMA Only" the default selection?
Where I Iive there is no LTE and the coverage of the service is quite poor, so the phone keeps jumping between E and 3G/H. I have to manually go into the phone app and select "WCDMA Only" is there a build prop tweak to make the "WCDMA Only" the default option instead of "WCDMA Preferred"?
Thank you.

Aah Crap ! Well thanks man saved me from buying on guess i will have to stick with my rezound for now then
fixed it
For everyone still searching for a solution to this problem, this worked for me. Go to phone information and turn your radio off. Then switch to LTE/GSM/CDMA then power down, DO NOT TURN YOUR RADIO BACK ON. Now remove your Sim card, put it back in, reboot and you should be good to go. DO NOT HGO BACK INTO PHONE INFORMATION OR ELSE IT WILL NOT STAY
If it still isn't connecting try fiddling around with your APN settings.
I've not had a 3G/HSPA signal on my N4 for a while now. Trouble is I don't know exactly when it happened as I'm generally on either WiFi at home or at work, where I know I can only get Edge.
I've tried the usual check the APN, *#*#4636#*#* and nothing's jumping out at me (if I tell it to use WCDMA only I get no signal at all).
I'm wondering if it was the 4.2.2 udpate and wonder if I've got the wrong radio - so the question is does anyone know what radio I should have on my N4? I'm in the UK on Vodafone, but I got the phone from the Play Store.
I've tried searching but the N4 seems to have had so many signal issues it's difficult to sift out the relevant stuff
I'm not rooted but I'm happy to do it if needed. Already tried a factory reset so nothing to lose!
Cheers,
Dave
have you tried a different sim card? thete isnt a specific radio per region, so thats not a problem.

Yeah, sorry, forgot to say. I tried the wife's SIM (different operator) and same issue, only got a 2G signal.
I was thinking it might have been an issue when they updated it to remove the LTE "feature"
Even i have the same problem . I am from India and also have tried a couple of sim card . Im not able to get 3g signal at all . Anyone pls help....
i have the same issue solved whit RMA my first nexus 4 was defective, my new nexus 4 changed in warranty now works well
3G/HSPA networks
participles ipntsly
I started having the same issue today in Atlanta. Had another T-Mobile HSPA phone sitting next to mine with 4 bars while I was on Edge. My N4 is < 1 week old and seemed to be OK but now I can't get it on anything other than Edge.
I've checked my APN settings, reset the radio, turned data on/off and reset the phone with no luck.
Any advice?
Update: Just got mine working, here is what I did.
Wasted 20 mins talking to Google and T-Mobile. (I don't recommend this step.)
Type in *#*#4636#*#*
Scroll down and change 'WCDMA Preferred' to 'WCDMA Only'. At this point my bars switched from Edge to HSPA.
Now, undo the change and put it back on WCDMA Preferred. Make sure it still has a 3G or an H next to your bars.
Exit and enjoy the fast phone.

This worked for me.. thanks
I am having the exact same problem as Dave. My n4 has just stopped connecting to WCDMA (H).
I have tried re entering my APN's, Turning on/off mobile network, Airplane mode, rebooting and removing the SIM. From the test menu I have tried WCDMA only but I lose my signal completely and go to emergency calls only. If I use either GSM only or WCDMA preferred I can get a 2G connection but nothing more and when on WCDMA preferred it can lose connection completely as well.
I am also with Vodafone UK.

Guys....even I had the same problem.....but was able to solve it.....
Go to settings >apps>all >Google framework services in this disable it and clear data and again enable it....

I tried this as soon as I put WCDMA preferred I lose signal, I have tried doing this in several locations as I live in the country, tried at my school where my friends get H+ and I still lose connection. tried going back to stock still the same issue
Can someone fixed this problem? "WCDMA only" mode make my N4 lost signal.

Getting bars on 'GSM only'
I have got the same issue on my Nexus 4, and I still don't understand how it happened in the first place. I updated a bunch of apps before going to bed and remember waking up to no signals on my phone.
Currently I only receive signal when I go *#*#4636#*#* and set it to 'GSM only'. Any other configuration (WCDMA preferred, WCDMA only, etc) results in loss of signal.
I have tried the following with no luck:
1) Restored Factory Settings
2) Installed an older version of android
3) Flashed multiple radios
4) Steps listed on this thread
Can anyone help me out with this?
Thanks
Verizon is at it again. When using a T-Mobile SIM in my XT1060 with 4.4.2, I'm stuck on EDGE where I'd previously get HSPA+. The APN setup has been fixed, so it no longer disappears, but it doesn't really matter if you're stuck on 2G.
4.2.2
Worked perfectly with HSPA+ and LTE
4.4
Broke APN setup
Gimped HSPA+ speeds
4.4.2
Fixed APN setup
EDGE only data
EDIT: EDGE is forced in Global mode; select LTE/GSM/UMTS and UMTS only to restore HSPA+; wait for the modem to cycle and allow the SIM to register on the network
I still have issues with HSPA+ speeds on my phone. It could be a localized issue, but I'll have to do further testing.
So, it's officially useless.
All have voice/SMS, though some had issues with voice on T-Mo's LTE.
You are the second person to report this. Could you try a factory wipe or something? I have no idea why it would be EDGE only.
I am curious what would have changed. I did compare the built in APN list between 4.4 and 4.4.2 and noticed the built in APN for T-Mobile US changed from fast.t-mobile.com on 4.4 to epc.t-mobile.com in 4.4.2 which is an older APN. Have you tried manually adding back the fast.t-mobile.com APN?

Only the unlocked phones automatically add APNs. With the Verizon XT1060, I have to manually enter the APNs, and I only use fast.t-mobile.com.
On top of the EDGE only limitation, it occasionally times out completely, so that there's no throughput up or down through the modem. It seems Verizon has completely gimped data on other carriers. I disabled the Verizon APN and APN Permissions apps, but there's something deeper that's causing this. It could be in the kernel, which wouldn't be a good thing at all.
The kicker though is (excerpt from FCC's C Block Rules):
(e) Handset locking prohibited. No licensee may disable features on handsets it provides to customers, to the extent such features are compliant with the licensee's standards pursuant to paragraph (b)of this section, nor configure handsets it provides to prohibit use of such handsets on other providers' networks.
The key words are disable features and prohibit. Technically, they aren't prohibiting access of the handset on T-Mobile's network, but they are limiting it in a way.
I got H+ with 4.4.2 on my VZW Dev X. I had to edit the APN Type setting to be default,mms,supl. The rest of the settings matched my T-Mobile Galaxy S4 LTE's APN settings. Under mobile network settings, I also have selected LTE/GSM/UMTS.
I am at the office where it is serviced by an internal antenna system, so I don't have T-Mobile LTE, and I don't think its setup for 1900Mhz UMTS, but there is a refarmed T-Mobile antenna and LTE outside.
Ok, now it switched to just bars. And back to Edge. Not sure if this is due to the internal antenna system or the update.
Voice calls (in/out) work, SMS send/receive works, MMS send/receive works, web browser works, Hangouts works.

This makes sense as the change in the default APN was the only obvious change I saw between 4.4 and 4.4.2. It's at least encouraging that you got HSPA+ to work by changing the APN. Have the others with problems tried changing or adding a new APN to match the one from the previous build? For reference here is the old and new APN information copied directly from the APN list on the Verizon Moto X.
XT1060 with 4.4 built in T-Mobile APN:
<apn auth="NONE" mmsc="http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc" password="none" server="*" user="none" apn="fast.t-mobile.com" mnc="260" mcc="310" carrier="T-Mobile US" protocol="IPV4V6" mtusize="1440"/>
XT1060 with 4.4.2 built in T-Mobile APN:
<apn auth="NONE" mmsc="http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc" password="none" server="*" user="none" apn="epc.tmobile.com" mnc="260" mcc="310" carrier="T-Mobile US" preloaded="true" type="default,mms,supl,hipri,fota" protocol="IP" mtusize="1440"/>
Mine is still on EDGE, and doesn't even bother going to HSPA+ even though it's in the area. Even without the APN setup, it would automatically connect to HSPA+. The speeds just wouldn't be right until you put in the APN settings.
Speedtest reported 0.01Mbps down and 0.02Mbps up, so it's definitely 2G and not a reporting bug.

What do you mean without the APN setup? Just confused as to whether you are describing before on 4.4 and now on 4.4.2. I think everyone is in agreement that the APN settings for T-Mobile on 4.4.2 are wrong which is definitely part if not all of the problem since it's the most obvious change from 4.4. Have you tried adding a new APN using the settings used in the 4.4 build and selecting that as the APN to use?

As I told you before, the Verizon Moto X DOES NOT automatically add APNs. It never did on 4.2.2, 4.4, or 4.4.2. Only VZWINTERNET is ever automatically added.
I also said that I'm using fast.t-mobile.com.
It's not the APN setup. HSPA+ is disabled.

I know what you said but you are referring to what shows on the APN list in Mobile Settings. Just because an APN doesn't show in that list doesn't mean it isn't preloaded into the phone but set to not be viewable. There is a huge list of APN's preloaded onto the Moto X for just about every major GSM carrier in the world and these are used when a SIM used when on that carrier (file pulled directly from my Moto X is attached in the zip file to this post). If the APN preloaded is wrong it will cause problems with data working. My question on you using the APN from 4.4 wasn't just the APN address of fast.t-mobile.com but also the remaining settings which matter as well such as protocol and type. I am just trying to help from my experience dealing with these sorts of issues and the fact that another user got HSPA+ to work earlier today is what made me think there might be more to it.
Anyway I should have access to a friends AT&T Nano SIM in the next day or two and since it uses the same band of HSPA+ as T-Mobile does on the Moto X I can check on that too.

I know they're included in the build, but I've ALWAYS had to manually add the APN to get things working properly; the included APNs are usually for carrier unlocked retail phones like the XT1053. In 4.4, manually added APNs would usually disappear, but I found a workaround to make it stay. Still, HSPA+ was artificially limited (0.05-0.20Mbps down, 1.0Mbps up) just like when the APN isn't setup. Now on 4.4.2, it will only connect to EDGE, regardless.
Looking further, even when using fast.t-mobile.com, the phone forces epc.tmobile.com and EDGE only. I'm not rooted, so there's nothing I can do about it.

Okay that is bizarre. I just remembered one of my coworkers had a iphone 5s on t-mobile and just borrowed her SIM. I am also on a stock, non-rooted Verizon Moto X running 4.4.2 and it connected to HSPA+ immediately. I didn't even change the APN at all. I even ran a speed test and got 4.33MB down and 1.84MB up. Here is a screen shot of the status attached. Not sure why it worked for me and not for you.
Could be time for an FDR, but before that, I'm gonna try a different area of service.
I have another T-Mobile SIM that I can register as well if all else fails.

Yeah I wish I could tell you that I did something special to get HSPA+ to work, I literally did nothing other then take out my Verizon one and put in the T-Mobile one, didn't even do a restart or change it off of Global (although I did shortly after switch it to LTE/GSM/UMTS to test that as well). The weird thing is it didn't connect to LTE at all when I know on 4.4 I could get it to connect it just wouldn't let you make calls. To be fair I didn't try much to try and get LTE to work aside from adding a new APN with the so called corrected T-Mobile LTE APN settings as my coworker wanted her SIM back. Maybe others can play around with that more.

I even went into fastboot and erased the modemst1 and modemst2 again to have it reregister everything. Still nothing. Unless T-Mobile removed HSPA+ from the area around my home recently, I'd say it's the phone.
I'll keep playing with it. I'd really like the 4.4.2 flash files though just to be sure something didn't happen in the OTA update.

In Mobile Network settings what do you have selected under Select Network (the last option)? Do you have it on Automatic or UMTS only? Also try downloading this application https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tapbase.LTEswitcher
Then once you have it try setting the preferred network to WCDMA only or GSM Auto and see if that helps as well.

Already tried all of that. It only connects to EDGE. I used the hidden phone settings menu to access the more advanced settings, and still no dice.

I got H+ with 4.4.2 on my VZW Dev X. I had to edit the APN Type setting to be default,mms,supl. The rest of the settings matched my T-Mobile Galaxy S4 LTE's APN settings. Under mobile network settings, I also have selected LTE/GSM/UMTS.
I am at the office where it is serviced by an internal antenna system, so I don't have T-Mobile LTE, and I don't think its setup for 1900Mhz UMTS, but there is a refarmed T-Mobile antenna and LTE outside.
Ok, now it switched to just bars. And back to Edge. Not sure if this is due to the internal antenna system or the update.
Voice calls (in/out) work, SMS send/receive works, MMS send/receive works, web browser works, Hangouts works.

Just as a follow up.. At home, in an area where T-Mobile has HSPA on 1900mhz, I do get H+ and even LTE (band 4) (LTE speed test screen shot -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/X-STUFF/2014-02-27 01.47.07.png ).
When On LTE, the "bug" of making a call drops signal/service still happens.
When I keep it on UMTS and have an H+ connection, it works fine. And the connection is stable at home.
I'm attaching some shots.
And I should mention, the SIM I'm using is a T-Mobile Nano SIM that I use with an adapter in my T-Mobile Galaxy S3. I had it switched to Nano so I could also put it in my iPhone if/when needed (its a work thing).
Hi everyone. I have a Leeco Pro 3 X727. I am on Firmware 20s I am having issues to get 4G/LTE signal.
First thing, In my City there is 4G signal, even a couple a days ago I went to my carrier and change my Sim for the newset, just in case.
The last Rom where I had LTE signal IICR was AEX5.4 around May's days. After I changed to CDroid, then to DotsOS... Whatever all I can get its H+ signal. Couple a days ago I change to Carbon Rom 6.1 (Oreos) and the first install, in the configuration I get LTE, but after change to Wifi for finish install all apps, I cant get LTE again. I flashed back Dots, Cdroid and I am now and AEX5.7 and I I have the same issue, just 3G/H+, not LTE or 4G. Also, after flashing firmware 20S I get LTE signal for a While so I think that is not the problem...
I tried almost all APN setting and Nothing. Chang Rom, change Recovery, change Kernel... Nothing just 3g/H+.... My friends with same Carrier have LTE signal...
So, is there anything I can do...? Flash any app, setting?
Help please.

Only use the X7272 5.8.20s firmware - Then you should be able to get it with the correct APN and setting
Don't choose Global, you want the LTE/GSM/UMTS/CDMA setting. If you are still having issues, use the program LTE Discovery or Network Guru.
There are Magsisk
What network are you trying to connect to? What country are you in?
Go to Settings -> Backup & reset -> Network settings reset -> RESET SETTINGS

Nothing. Still "Orange 3G" and conexión icon show H+.
Honestly, I'd say something is wrong with your phone or wrong with your cell towers. The only LTE Band that Orange/Altice supports in DR is B3 (sorta strange that there's only one band, but for a relatively small country I suppose it doesn't matter) and the LEX727 and LEX720 both have band 3, as well as the only GSM(3g)/UMTS(4g) bands that Orange/Altice supports (that being GSM:1800/1900 and UMTS B8 (900GSM)) At first my assumption was that Orange/Altice was a CDMA network, but as far as I can see, there are no CDMA networks in DR!
Edit: download the speedtest app, and see if you're getting the same speeds as a phone that shows it's connected to LTE. If you are, there's no issue besides the phone reporting the connection wrong. If you're slower, though...

Maybe the problem is Orange Altice. The 4G coverage its very new in my city. I al ready tested speed and its 3G 5mb/3mb
Thanks for answering!

Oh! I think I know the issue! When I looked at Orange's website (trying to find network specs, which strangely for a network that supports BYOD, they don't have listed, or at least I couldn't find it) I saw that they have subscribers pay for data, as is standard practice in the US (where I live). But the thing that caught my eye is that you also pay for speed.
So... Let me take a guess here. You pay either RD$1499 Or RD$1349 for their 5mbps unlimited plan?
Basically, my assumption is that if you're paying for one of their lower speed tiers, they put you on a 4g or 3g network to save LTE bandwidth for the people who pay more than you.
Tell me if any of this sounds familiar... I feel like I may've found your problem!

Mmmmm suspect ... actually I have an even lower plan, RD $ 580 (USD$12) and I only use the data when I buy additional packages ... Most times I use Wi-Fi and just use Data when I am not at home/job and the 3G its veeeery looooow speed... Thank bro, that could be the problem.
