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.

Hi Folks,
Unfortunately I'm only experiencing 3G connections and it sucks cause I payed 4G or LTE plan. How do you know if you're LG G2 is 4G or LTE Data speed? I got this phone from Korea. Do I have to do some of the configurations needed before having a 4G or LTE connections? Btw, I'm with Fido.
Thanks for the help :good:

The 4G is activated if you use the carrier's branded phone. Trying to unlock across carriers limits you to 3G as far as I know.

ohh I see.. but I'll still keep insisting to them that I should get 4G or LTE.
I should get what I payed for.
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.

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
Just got my phone in US....Was able to get Saturday Delivery. Anyways, the phone is awesome! My phone shows a 4G icon is that the same as LTE? I know in the Xperia ZL there was an LTE icon. Thanks.

Do a speed test, someone on Android Central forums shows 4G on At&t and is getting 23+ down so it's LTE

4G is the same as LTE. It's just how this phone decides to display it

I live in Europe, phone shows LTE when I'm using it. It's also my first LTE phone so I'm blown away atm...
4G is LTE..
Sent from my Xperia Z2
Ive had mine on t-mobile doing speed test and I'm getting 30+ down while getting average 11 mb/s up. The phone shows 4g but that is lte speeds.
This thread is pretty funny
Many have already stated the simple fact that by name '4g and LTE' are interchangeable..
They are of the same radio.
:thumbup:
When I had my Z2 it was running UK firmware, it displayed 4G icon on my phone on AT&T network. When I flashed the phone with Euro Unbranded firmware , LTE icon got displayed.
It just depends on the firmware customization, so either way you are getting LTE speed but the icon displays different depending on the firmware installed
I have a Note 3 N9005W8 with a 9005 Rom but it does not have the LTE Icon. I currently have AT&T. Its supossed to show LTE right? Or I need another ROM? Thanks!
What icon is showing?

Just H+ or sometimes 4G
My carrier is a small independent since I live in a very rural area. When I first got my phone, it showed H+ or LTE. I switched to a custom ROM and then it only showed H+ or 4G. 4G and LTE are the same thing, at least on my carrier. I have Wanam Xposed installed and I was able to download a module called 4G/LTE Switcher. It lets me change whether the icon says 4G or LTE. The difference is only cosmetic on mine, basically.

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?
