I *think* so....but the hard part is most people don't usually leave voicemail so its difficult to recognize. AT&T said its probably because new LTE towers are going up...but to me that sounds like a lousy excuse.

I guess I just want to see if its possible that its the ROM/kernal that caused this or if its a byproduct of LTE

Thanks for hearing me out man....I could always flash back to stock and see what that does

When I first got my galaxy s3, telus said it would come with 4g lte. It worked well and on the top notification section, it specifically said, 4g lte. Now I'm trying out custom roms and such, and I downloaded CM10. However, on CM10, the icon no longer says 4g lte, but it says H+. When I revert back to my old rom, it doesn't say 4G (i ahven't seen it say LTE at the end yet though). Anyone can tell me why my data connection has been demoted, or if it has been demoted at all? Should I just give Telus a call and ask whats up with this?

And yes, LTE is available in my area, I'm in Vancouver.
Had the same issue, only shows LTE in stock or rooted stock however I had to do a clean reinstall of rooted stock for it to show up again.

Question to those with the Rogers I747M running stock.

When you get connected to LTE, does the on screen data indicator show 4G or LTE?

I unlocked my phone to get it onto the MTS LTE (Manitoba) network, but it's only showing up 4G and want to know if maybe Rogers modified the software to not display an LTE icon like the manual shows.

On a side note, the MTS LTE network SUCKS. So far I'm barely getting any good speeds and MTS claims everything is fine on the network side. I will continue to talk with them to hopefully get better speeds. If there's any MTS LTE members here, if you're getting good speeds, feel free to give me tips! :)

Cheers!

My stock and rooted i747m on Rogers shows LTE when available.

Thanks for the response

Not trying to be an @$$ or anything but you do know that aosp roms like cm10 and aokp list lte as 4g and hspa+ as h+ it will never say 4g lte in the status bar unless you're on a touchwiz based rom right?

Hey thanks for your response.

But the issue I am having is that I am seeing H+ and not 4g, plus I have done speed tests and my speeds are about 4Mb down and 1 Mb up which is a far cry from what I used to get from touchqiz roms and I can easily see that my connections is extremely slower when I am watching HD videos on youtube

Please help!!

Aokp has the lte toggle correct?
Is this turned on

Did you check your apn to make sure its correct. Im not sure about your carrier but att has 2 apn's one for all connections and one for everything but lte. I cant test lte atm, but hopefully soon, my town is on the list for before 2013.

I would check apn first, if not wipe everything, system data cache dalvic, and reflash. If not try another rom.

Edit- I just reread your original post. Disregard the apn stuff, I forgot you already did that.

My stock and rooted i747m on Rogers shows LTE when available.

Got the LTE working on the MTS network. Not much of a surprise that the techs aren't too smart and didn't know what they were doing. Luckily I had a contact that could check up on things for me and they got it rocking!

I see about 20 Mbps down and 5+ up while indoors. Way faster than their HSPA network! :)

well i was able to get 50mb down in my house until friday when the iphone 5 came out. now i get about 25-30 down (not complaining lol). is at&t giving data speed priority to iphones again like they did with 3g?

not really a big deal to me because i still get decent speeds. im grandfathered in to unlimited data so honestly i wont complain

LTE help needed on Koodo/Telus

would really appreciate any input here! the short of it is: stock, unrooted TELUS SGS3 + Koodo SIM = crappy LTE speeds.

was on "4G" before Koodo turned on LTE, was getting 10Mbps down, 2-3Mbps up.

LTE gets turned on last Friday, and i get my LTE indicator. on "about phone" my network is detected as "LTE:14". hooray!

but the speeds are not LTE: i'm getting 4-5Mbps DOWN, and 10-15Mbps up. i've been to different parts of the province -- Vancouver, Victoria, Delta, Richmond -- and still the same result.

for the hell of it, i switched the "bearer" in my APN to "LTE" from unspecified, speeds still suck. switched to "HSPA only" and once again i am getting 10Mbps down, 2-3Mbps up. any idea why LTE sucks on my SGS3?

Here in N. VA., I clocked 18,535 kbps down and 4,875 up this weekend as the top speeds so far from home. Oddly, I clocked 9,442 down and 12,340 up this morning at work just a few miles from home. I've never seen upload higher than download before. That dropped to 7193 down and 4447 up by this afternoon - probably iPhone mania again.

Where is the LTE love for long island NY

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

THIS!!!@&#&@@@!!!!
Jesus we're 20 miles from Connecticut covered in LTE and depending on your location on the island like 20 miles from the city where they also have it. You'd think they'd want to cover an island 70% filled with middle class families who ALL have a smartphone with a data plan

looks like a lot of us are waiting for lte to be in long island ny cant wait for it to happen i doubt it will be in 2012 hopefully in early 2013

Just letting people know LTE 4g speeds is alive and kicking in Alexandria, VA. Amazed at how fast it is. So glad I'm still Grandfathered into the Unlimited Data plan. I know At&t is hating my usage..lol

    Loving LTE in the 916 area code, Sacramento, Carmichael, Roseville, Lincoln, Citrus Heights. I had it for about a week before AT&T announced its rollout. My sppeds aren't the fastest but its certainly better than H+!
