3g not working for rogers (canada)
Hi guys! My phone can't seem to detect 3g here. I've read in a couple of other forums that the SGS shouldn't have any problem working with rogers.
Is there any hidden settings that I missed? There doesn't seem to be a switch to turn 3g on or off (like the iphone's).
any help would be awesome!
well theres currently no version of Galaxy S released that has the 3G frequencies required for it to work on Rogers
Rogers mainly uses the 850MHz frequency and if you're lucky you might walk into some corner that gets you 1900MHz. but the safe bet is to go with a phone that has the"850MHz" 3G frequency.
actually it now works.. just talked to a rogers rep. gotta set the APN settings first!
are you only getting limited 3G though
unless you got the connections. and got yourself a NAM version
it keeps jumping back and forth from 3g and H.. not sure what H stands for. What does NAM mean?
H is faster than 3g I believe
it means HSDPA which is 3.5g I think ? (correct me if I'm wrong )
edit: wikipedia: High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is an enhanced 3G (third generation)
NAM 3G means 850 and 1900 bands for 3G, you only have 1900 or PCS 3G. You're probably getting 3G when idle and HSPA when transferring data. Normal it seems.
Okay so I got my vibrant yesterday and its sooo good(love swype)! BUT the 3g is non existant!!!
I am using these settings from red board:
Update 2 (April 19, 4:55 pm): We’ve heard from you that that you want the actual APN data. Here are the Rogers and Fido Android connectivity settings:

So I moved over and used the following settings from a link on the net:
Rogers APN Configuration for Android Phones

Getting the T-Mobile G1 or any Android phone to work on the Rogers network isn’t too difficult. When you first start the phone and you’re at the Touch the Android screen just press the menu button and go into the APN settings. Remove any existing APN configurations that aren’t related to your carrier. Then add the following two new ones.

and still the same thing is happening! only shows G.
Now I know what some people will say that the area I am in could be the issue but my counter to that is I have a touch pro and that is picking up 3g just fine!
the phone IS a UNLOCKED bell phone(had all the bell stuff preloaded)
Can anyone help me please? Do I have to call rogers or something?
edit the firmware it came with is: I9000xxjm3 firmware version 2.1-Update1. Model # GT-I9000M
you probably set something up wrong, you just need 1 APN profile for all
I'm on Fido (Rogers) and these are the settings

pay attention to the settings, noticed you can combine internet+mms instead of having them separate as you have it set on yours
Hey? The last setting is internet and mms.
I did the same thing went from bell to rogers. The hspa is way faster on bell then rogers.

And yes what allgamer said. Only 1 apn. Goodluck.

thanks for your help. just a quick question I am in winnipeg Manitoba Canada. I know rogers and MTS havent setup their HSPDA(is that correct name ) isnt setup here yet could this be the reason why I dont get correct 3G symbol on the phone?
Okay so i was reading on the boards here and found this:
*#0011# network mode/cell info/power info
and I ran it on my phone and this is what I got:
gsm: home(cs+ps)
band:GSM1900, BSIC: 36
REG PLMN MCC(302)-MNC(720)M IsP
and a bunch of other things. now from my limited knowledge doesnt a phone have to be operating in GSM 850 to have access to rogers 3G network?! If so how the hell do I change it?
I don't think that's your problem (though it is POSSIBLE, I suppose). I drove through Winnipeg last month and had no problem getting a good 3G signal - at least until I was 30 minutes east of the city.
I admit, I wasn't using my i9000m, but 850/1900MHz 3G should be 850/1900MHz 3G, and the coverage maps show that Rogers covers most of Winnipeg with both 850 and 1900 MHz (though I couldn't determine whether Rogers has 3G/HSDPA on both frequencies).
So, all of that said... in other places in the forum (somewhere - I can't remember where), some individuals had the 850MHz band disabled (mostly after flashing an European ROM, if I recall correctly), and had to re-enable it, or flash a different modem. I'm grasping at straws, but is it possible that Rogers only has 3G/HSDPA in one frequency band, and that ban is disabled on your phone?
Sorry. Not a lot of help.

glad to hear it is working for you. i was going to suggest flashing to the newest bell rom, jh2, or to jm6 (not a bell rom but i am using this on rogers) as i have used both and they both work fine for 3g.

i don;t know where you got that phoen, but Bell i9000m only comes with JG9 or JH2
not JM3 as you mentioned, that is from Europe....
are you sure you have a Bell I9000M instead of a regular I9000 from Europe?

I tried to get the $15 (200 meg) data package to work, but there is no signal showing up on the phone. anyone got any ideas?
Yeah. I have really good idea....... at&t sucks

They use different freqs for the different companies 3g in the states, at&t uses the "standard" freqs and tmob uses its own due to fcc regs. They may also use different flavors of 3g also(ie UMTS, HSPDA, wcdma) the acronyms are endless...

Any ATT data plan should work, but only with ATT's 2G service*.
there are a few things I could think of that could be causing your problem which are separated by phone or network problems (these are all assuming your phone is searching for signal and isn't giving you any obvious errors about the sim):
PHONE PROBLEMS
1. Your MT slide is locked to WCDMA only, which won't work on ATT (see explanation below*).
2. Your unlock method didn't work.
3. Any other random prob with your handset hardware/software.
NETWORK PROBLEMS
1. You are not in a ATT 2G coverage area
3. You are in a location that the ATT 2G signal is being blocked.
2. There is an ATT network outage in your area.
The quickest way to narrow down your prob is to get a hold of an ATT phone that is working (either from a friend or an ATT store) and test your sim in that phone. that will tell you if you need to start troubleshooting your phone or your sim/att service.
*ATT uses a different frequency for their 3G coverage (ATT uses 1900 mhz and 850 mhz WCDMA as oppose to T-Mobiles 1700 mhz WCDMA). this means that if you locked your phone to WCDMA on the slide, then it is going to try to look for an ATT signal at 1700 mhz, which does not exist. Unfortunately there is no way to "re-tune" the radio hardware in most devices to operate on a different frequency, so your probably stuck with 2G only if you continue to use ATT.
the only exception that I know of is the blackberry bold 9700, in which the radio hardware actually supports all gsm/wcdma bands, and just has the "Carrier appropriate" bands enabled in the software. this may be the case with the MT slide, but I doubt it.
UMM before any of that I'M GUESSING YOU HAVE THE PROPER AT&T APN SETTINGS?? Correct?? .. if not, you need to find the att apn address and replace the stock epc address

The apn definately must be correct to use data once the phone finds signal and connects to ATT's network, but jeffbichel said his problem is that the phone isnt getting any signal to begin with. the apn only comes into play once your phone has already found and connected to a cell tower.
I read elsewhere that the only way to get a Slide working with 3G on AT&T is to order one destined for Roger's telecom Canada since they use the same 3g frequencies as AT&T...
You can use a TMO phone on AT&T, the 3G will not work, EDGE only. On an Android phone the APN settings must be set correctly for AT&T for the data to work.

I've just realised that ever since I updated to GRI40, my 3g/EDGE/HSDPA connections don't work at all.
I've tried flashing radios 5.08, 5.12 and even 4.06, but it just doesn't seem to pick up my data connection at all. All I've got is standard connection, but no 3g/E/H icon to tell me that i've got a data connection...???

Saw this post in the First Impressions of GRI40 thread (see here).
I also have this problem. It's intermittent, but currently I'm at home, I turned off wifi, and my phone shows bars of signals, but no 2g/3g icon at all. Normally I can get both 2g/3g at home just find.
Tried turning off stuff like Juicedefender (worried about it messing things up). Rebooted the phone, toggled 2g/3g, nothing... Intermittent as earlier today I was using 2g and 3g with no problems...
Anyone else with this problem?
I'm on Rogers Canada, and am using a stock unrooted Nexus One.
Might have fixed it... was googling around. Right after GRI40 I had 2 APNs (I've never set them up.. there by default).
Replaced it with these values from this thread:

This is obviously only a rogers fix, original poster who had this problem was Vodafone UK.. maybe APN problem?
I am having this issue, too. 3G doesn't work at all. I have to tell the phone to only stay on Edge and then it will stay connected. In fact if I uncheck that box, I lose everything including voice/text
I came from my skyrocket that had LTE so im still on the LTE plan.
i copied my APN settings from the sky rocket to the N4 and have been enjoying the slow measly 4-5mb download on GOOD days but averaging 1-3mb most days.
i have the older radio AND can enable the LTE setting and have it stick but dont need it as im currently on WCDMA preferred.
my phone status shows HSPA+ ATT when it usd to show just HSPA:10 or :15 etc what ever number it shows at the time.
now i'm getting consistent speed tests over 14mb down and 1mb up
I'm currently in the Lawrenceville/Duluth Area of Georgia if that helps
I have enclosed some screen shots.
anyone else noticing this?
its really nice to have these speeds now.
You should block out your phone number on the first screenshot lol.

i just saw an email at my company that said this:
Dear all,
I know that it's been a long time coming, but hopefully you all have already experienced, and felt, the new in building wireless solution that AT&T has deployed for us. As part of the contract renewal that we did a few months ago we negotiated with AT&T to deploy, at their cost, a new in-building cell system to solve our cell phone coverage challenges. This system went fully live earlier this week, and we now have across buildings A and B full 3G, 4G and LTE coverage for AT&T with a state of the art system.
I hope that all of you enjoy the new system and extended coverage!
Thank you!

so it looks like that AT&T came out and deployed a new tower that gives us full range of coverage including 3G, 4G and LTE
since i'm NOT using LTE an band right now and on 4G that means that AT&Ts NEW towers have the capability of HSPA+ since we are using it right now but its just not deployed everywhere yet.
im spoiled now and wont want to go back home to my normal AT&T tower

Hey Everyone,
I need the AT&T APN Settings for the Galaxy S4. I flashed to Foxhound Rom(I9505 rom) and flashed a AT&T Kernel but now my data speeds are all out of whack.
Here's the settings I've tried so far http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31135-att-apns-for-custom-roms/, but it's still too slow on the speedtest app compared to what I was getting before.
Also I noticed after using the above settings, my "Network Mode" (found in the Mobile Network settings) keeps switching from what I set it to -- LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect) -- automatically to WCDMA/GSM (auto connect).
Thanks in advance.

Hmmmm I don't know what you mean by plugged in? The phone itself should acquire these APN's when it scans for networks. Make sure you are just using the ATT LTE apn it acquires and then go back and select GSM/LTE/CDMA or something like that and it should stick and hopefully fix your speed. Although your area might not have full LTE yet.

I had to manually enter new APNs into my phone. what I did just now was delete the other 2-3 APNs (Cingular, Cingular MMS) and now my speeds are back up to 20Mbps down, but my upload is at 4.5Mbps up. Is the upload speed normally that much lower?

That is an extremely low upload for LTE that's for sure. I would run a couple tests and see what happens. It could also be ROM related as I am running Task650 AOKP.
Also I updated my post with my APN settings.
what modem are you using? Also, I noticed you are sprint, is this for the same device?
Galaxy S4 - no LTE option?
I recently bought an unlocked unbranded Galaxy S4 GT-I9500. I let it (probably a bad judgement call) auto update via WIFI from 4.2 to 4.3 before it ever had a sim chip in it. I'm assuming not an ATT update, no branded bloatware. Root was easy with Odin. So...now on ATT, but not getting LTE? Added the APN settings shown above, but found no LTE listed in the Network mode options. No Network access when I select that APN either. WCDMA/GSM auto and single option for each only thing there.
Any ideas / suggestions?
Maybe I just need to find the right ROM, I like Cyanogenmod 11 kitkat, and get that on there and see what happens.

For some reason, in every ROM for L7 (at least CM based), the 3G doesn't work. I still have to try 3G on stock to see if it is a problem of the ROM or the phone but after some searching, I found that I'm not the only one with this problem. I have tried going to *#*#4636#*#* menu and forcing the phone to WCDMA only but that makes me have no network service at all, only if I put it to GSM only it will work. Is there any fix for this?

Contacted my network provider, and I configured the APN correctly as they told me, still don't get 3G, only H. It's set to GSM Auto PRL since I can't set it to WCDMA preffered, so it should be getting 3G, but I can get 3G basically nowhere in my country while my old phone (Galaxy Gio) could get 3G almost anywhere in my country.. don't know what's going on on
By the way, in the Phone info (*#*#4636#*#*) menu, when I change to WCDMA preferred, it always goes back to GSM Auto (PRL) by itself. Does the problem have to do with this?

H stands for 3G HSDPA which provides theoretical speeds up to 7.2Mbps.
3G stands for 3G UMTS which provides speed to 3.6Mbps (not sure)
Its better to get H than 3G. But both stand for 3G.
Some ROMs show H, some show only 3G (like Jelly Bean Mini Project), and some show both ...
It is best to set to Auto Mode (GSM/WCDMA) or 3G preferred, rather than 3G only because in some areas where 3G isn't available, battery will drain high searching for network. In that cases, if in Auto Mode or 3G preferred, it will latch on to 2G and back to 3G when you get 3G coverage!

I'm sorry, I made a mistake. My phone doesn't show H, it only shows E! Please pardon my error
