Has anyone of you seen 'G' instead of 'H' next to the signal bars in your bionix V rom. My phone was just showing 'G' and the speed was kinda slow too. Note that it also sgows 'E' when its on edge. So g doesnt mean edge in this case. Is it possible i have been getting 4g or faster version of 3g. I know wishful thinking on my part but im curious why it says 'G' & H on multiple occassions.

H is 3G, edge is 2G, and G is... G. Its the slowest data connection

I just upgraded my contract with Tmobile and got a Galaxy S4. But it always shows 4G on the status bar and never shows LTE. There is LTE network in my area. Why cannot I get it? Thanks.

Hit ur menu button, then system settings, then more, then about device, then status and look under mobile network type. Different carriers use different icons.
[HOW TO] Change 4G to 4G LTE in Status Bar [HOW TO]
My friend has a galaxy note 2 from AT&T. Now he uses Tmobile and it shows 4G LTE instead of 4G. The speed he can get is about 50Mbps, but I can only get 10Mbps.

Currently on 3G with N9005 on the T-mobile network, hoping to make it run on the 4G. I've been looking through the forums for an answer but only found that it might be possible. Does anyone know how to make the N9005 phone work with Tmobile 4G? step by step would be appreciated. :laugh:
Thank you!

What do you mean by a 4g contract? if you have data isnt it just running depending if your location has 4G?

ooohs, I dont think it is like that here, as my brother has the same plan as I have but runs on 4G while I run on 3G cause the N9005 is not setup to run on 4G here, but i heard there was ways but just not sure how to do it.
Is 4G the same as H+? If so, you just need to be in an area that has 4G. I have an n9005 in the US, and I am on H+ now. However, in some locations I only get 3G or even E.

no H+ is technically 3g but a bit better. it has to say 4G in order for it to be 4G. Which is why im trying to find out how to make it 4G

do you have the lte/wcdma/gsm radio button? if you do and you select that then it will connect to 4g if you have 4g coverage.

I think it is settings->connection tab->more network settings. I am flashing mine note 3 so i cannot be sure. But it should be along those lines.

oohs I see the thing is its on LTE already, so Im not so sure if I need the correct Rom or something in order for the radio to read the 4G as the Rom I have is another country.

You mean you already have the LTE/WCDMA/GSM radio selected? If thats the case then you dont really need to do anything else. If you have a 4g sim and 4g coverage then you will connect to 4g automatically.

yes i meant its selected already. Really?? I thought I had to do something else cause it doesnt seem to be reading the 4G like with my brothers phone, and we are on the same plan.

you mean he has a note3 and it reads 4g instead of lte?
if you get the 4g signal then the status bar will show 4g.

well he has a galaxy s4 but if we are together, on his status bar it will show 4g meanwhile mine will show H+ or E.
The issue is LTE Band.
N9005 is missing LTE BAND 1700/2100 . Thus, it won't connect. It is missing in the software, not hardware.
You have to flash the N900T rom and/or modem on your phone to get North American LTE + HSPA+ (4G) bands to work properly!
but make sure flashing N900T rom won't trig Knox though.

Ohs I see, so I can technically flash any N900T modem to my phone? but what happens if I trigger KNOX already? will it affect anything?
Im currently on android 4.3, N9005XXUBMJ1, N9005OLBBMI3
Hi there am new to the Samsung Galaxy s5. I recently bought my phone thru Verizon but decided to go to T-Mobile. I had my phone unlocked and such but ever since doing so I have a "H+" where the 4GLTE usually is. Can anyone explain what this is. Did they miss up something when unlocking the phone. Any help is appreciated Thanks.

If im not mistaken, Tmobile doesn't offer a true LTE network in some areas.. H+ is their version of high speed data network traffic..
...only heresay...
Really any suggestions on what to do?

About what? the icon up top? are you having any data difficulties?
Yes the phone runs real slow at times. Am not sure if the guy even unlocked it probably. All he did was change the apn. Is that right. Again am new to this.

I'm afraid that in most areas tmobile is substandard compared to Verizon.. and isn't one carrier cdma and the other GSM? where are you geographically? is tmobile the superior carrier in your region... its doubtful..
Chandler Arizona not sure who is more dominanting. How would I find out. We switched because we use a lot of data. Other then that we would've stayed with Verizon.

Correct.
But H+ (HSPA+) is faster than H (HSDPA) ,G (GPRS) and E (EDGE)
H+ could also indicate dual channel hsdpa which from memory has a limit of 42mb... In the UK many people on dc-hsdpa report speeds of around 20mb which is comparable to many LTE speeds here.
You may not be that different there.
Unless you are downloading large files through your phone, there is very little advantage on a fast data connection, a HD video will stream quite easily on 4 to 5mb
Probably a dumb question...but I'm really confused about this.
I've never seen on my G531F the 4G sign even if it is available in my location. Maximum what I get is H+.
I saw E, 3G, H, H+ signs but never the 4G.
The LTE option is checked in network settings.
Can somebody tell me what's the problem?
