*Please Help*

I just finish doing all the steps for the .33 radio, im on tmobile and running CarbonROM, after i finish the last step i dont see the Network Mode Tab, i rebooted the phone and still don't see it, what i did wrong, did i miss something :confused:

I had the same issue the second time I did the hack. I did a cache clear in recovery and I think that fixed it. Give it a try.

I just tried it, and it didn't work for me :(

i will reflash .33 and redo all the steps again, just to make sure i didn't miss anything.
 
I just finish redoing all the steps, and still no luck with the mobile network tab, does the kernel plays a big part on this?

im on carbon rom latest nightly and the default kernel that comes with carbon rom.
 
They are rolling out LTE FAST but it would appear in your neck of the woods they are still in testing phase, they are also doing testing here I can only get on once in a while.

And I get kicked pretty damn quickly the last 3 days. Like 40 seconds into the connection or less.
 
Im from Richmond Virginia, i don't get good service inside my apartment, but i will drive in a few and check if i get any LTE speeds, i heard LTE was working already im virginia, that's why i went ahead and flash the .33 radio, thanks for the tips.

Edit: So if im in the LTE Market, i should get lte with the the steps i already did, i don't need to do the no.8 step, Select Network Mode, and switch the value to "LTE/GSM/WCDMA" ?

Selecting it through the phone menu sets it to default. The network tab is just so you can have a shortcut basically.

It should still work. Just double check the phone menu that it says lte gsm. Sometimes it will revert back. Did it to me at least.
 
@xploPR: I just for on the forum for the first time today. All of the above advice is sound and should work. Let us know if it gets sorted. BTW, I have data roaming ticked on because I have unlimited data. I don't know if it is a factor (it shouldn't be) but if you have unlimited data it does you no harm having it ticked on.

On a sperate but relevant note, I came into the thread tonight to share a screenshot of the best speed test I've run, on any device, ever...including my former Verizon GNex.

Crazy!

Damn now thats insane speed there lol nice
 
Maybe it's just me, but I seem to have got a pretty good bump on HSPA+ by changing the build.prop lines in the OP. I flashed .54 radio, so I'm just 3G/HSPA, not LTE. Also, the epc APN is much faster for me than the fast one.

I've heard that HSPA is better with those settings... good times!
 
I tested my speeds with the lte settings, and i didn't get pass 5Mb downloading, so i went back and flash .48 & put all the settings the way i had them, ran another speed test, and im back at speeds of 14mb Downloading and 3mb up... so i guess i get better +HSPA here.

What settings are we talking about? :)

From OP:

You will want to edit this line and add two lines directly below it to read:
view plaincopy to clipboardprint?
telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1
ro.telephony.default_network=9
ro.ril.def.preferred.network=9

I went from ~6mbps to 11mbps. But I know T-Mobile is all over place, so it may be worth nothing...
 
Speeds aren't anything to write home about, but it will get there

Looks like my house, no bars sub 10mbs down sub 4 up:p

But find stronger signal and it goes up significantly.

Just ran another test in a 3 bar zone, and got mid 8mb down 7mb up. It's the first day it's shown up, so I'll give them a break for now.

Sorry for the dumb question, but if i don't ask i won't never learn lol

It supposed to show 4G icon when you're in an LTE zone?

The reason i ask this, because when i did the steps on my N4 for the LTE, it never showed the 4G Icon, it was all the time on Hspa, so now im confused, and i want to try it again and drive around to test it.
