i know i saw a thread about this but cant seem to find it
my girlfriends phone when wifi is on shows the 4g icon as well ive never seen that on any of our smart phones is this normal for the s4?
That means shes not connected to a Wifi network.
Her Wifi is on , sure, but her data is flowing through 4G. :silly:
I just checked on my s4 4g device now.

Hi all,
Not sure if this is a problem as my network is upgrading to 4g, but recently I have on occasion seen h+ as my data signal but the phone will not connect at all. No Internet. Emails won't sync. Nothing. I have found that a restart seems to sort it out or flight mode toggle. This didn't always work though. This has only happened recently.
Anybody else have this problem, could it be the network upgrading? (Although I have only seen 4g on my phone once in a different location and the speed was not exactly great, I have seen over 20M on H+ and 4g was about 10)
Getting a 4G signal doesn't necessarily give you good speeds. 4G in our country sucks. I get 4G signal often but my speed still hover around 0.1kb/s up to 1.2mbps, but most of the time it's only < 600kb/s. Fastest I get is only 10mbps, that is around past midnight when everybody is already asleep. And yes, I also get H+ and 4G signals with 0kb/s speed.
The speed was more an observation than anything else, the issue is the fact that I have a network signal, I have H+ being displayed but no connection, as it sometimes clears with a toggle it would point to a phone problem surely?
I also experience that, even with my previous S3.
Guys I have the same problem. I just swapped from S3 to S5. I wouldn't like to change s3 but loosing connection was happening more and more often. Usually I was loosing data signal and only solution for that was rebooting the phone. Once I had to restart it 3 times in a row. Now I have S5 since almost two weeks and I noticed that sometimes I have H+ but I can't use internet at all. It's really annoying. Is it a problem with operators or phone? I am with EE now in UK but I had s3 in Orange.

My friend has a Sprint S3 and I have a Sprint S4. We went camping last weekend and at the site service was very spotty. He was able to connect to 3g service on his S3 while I was only able to connect to roaming voice with no data on my S4. It wasn't like it was even coming in and out of 3g it just would not connect at all to data. I am running stock software and am fully updated. I tried changing my phone from 3g/LTE to just 3g and that made no difference. I turned off roaming and set it to just home network and it gave me no signal whatsoever. Can anyone explain this? Shouldn't the S4 work better than the S3?
Hi, I'm very new to this site. Sorry if this has been asked before. I have an At&t S5, and it only connects to 4g and only in places where service is REALLY good. Anywhere else I will have bars but no 4g, 3g, etc. and is not connected to at&t. Ive made sure its set to gsm/lte. Any thoughts? ?
has your phone been rooted and have had a custom rom flashed? Sometimes the custom rom could have a different modem which causes these problems, you could flash a SM-G900A modem with odin and it might solve it, or just flash the stock rom which is a little easier but you lose your data
Hi, sorry for the late reply. I've been out of service area for awhile. The phone has been rooted before, but I've been having this problem since before the root.
hmm thats pretty strange, maybe it's only a 4g simcard or your phone isnt finding or there isnt any different type of networks in that area?
It just doesn't make sense that I would have bars but not have any connection to the network.
So youre connected but you cant access it? Send messages or use mobile data? That happened to me multiple times when I had a incompatible modem..
I will have bars but it doesn't say 3g/2g/H/H+/E. The only time I can text/call/etc. unless I have 4g, which is the only one it ever shows. And in places where my friends have 4g, mine shows nothing. Has to be like a big city.

When you have bars but no 4g can you still text and call?

No. It says not registered on network. I've tried all of the "Not Registered on Network" solutions all over the Internet and none of them work...for me anyway.
Hello, This may be a simple question, but it's puzzling me at the moment.
I have a Galaxy S4 , rooted and running Hyperdrive 21. I haven't changed any setting in the past few weeks. For the past couple of days, the 4G icon will show up in the top bar, while on WiFi. It has never done that before. When I connect to WiFi the signal indicator was always there, but the 4G icon was not. I always relied on this to know if I was using my cell data or WiFi. Now I don;t know if the phone is using 4G or Wifi?

Mine will only show the 4G icon when I'm sending or receiving a MMS at home on WiFi. Could that be what's happening?
No, I'm not sending or receiving a mms
this phone has started playing up, 4G wont connect at all and 3G is constantly changing between H and H+. Phone calls dropping and battery draining fast.
Have tried factory reset
flashing older Samsung firmware
Nothing is making a difference. Tried my SIM in another phone and it instantly connects to 4g.
This only started about two weeks ago.
Any one else have this issue? i'm in the uk on the 3 network.
UPDATE: it appears the 4G radio is faulty - setting it to 3g only solves the issues.
UPDATE : I'm so gutted that this phone 4g/3G is ****. Love the phone but loads of people and reviews suggesting 4g/3G issues with this phone and high number of call drops. I did a test today, I put my sim in an iPhone 6 and instantly connected to 4g and speed test was through the roof peaking at 38mb. Put the sim back into the s6 edge plus and only connects to 3G. But unable to browse the Internet. This confirms my fears that the 4g chipset/antenna are ****. In this phone. Which is a real shame as the phone is my favorite ever. Going to get an iPhone now. Connectivity is the most important thing and I can't be dealing with this crap from such an expensive phone. Shame on you Samsung.

I have the exact trouble as yours whichs about constantly changing between the H and H+. (4G is not matter, its new around here). When it turns on H, doesnt connect any site and application which need data connection. But H+ is doing normal. I bought an unlimited data package is provided for up limit 7.2Mbps. Dug something and saw that HSDPA(H) technology's up limit is 7.2 for our carrier. Then bought limited turbo data package(shows as up limit 43Mbps) but still changing H and H+ Thats not such for current device. It was in such an annoying situation since H+ available to connect. Tried to force use H+ but no luck. Sorry for long article and bad grammar. Just saying. Thanks.

Been doing a lot of research and it appears to me that this phone is crap at holding 4g/3G signals. I think this is a hardware/design fault. Most people won't release this until they test this on an iPhone in the same location and see the huge difference. Can't believe Samsung would release a huge pile of crap.
