HI
I was hoping someone could shed some light on this , i received my Galaxy Note 3 yesterday the n9005 model i moved from a HTC one the LTE 4G worked perfect on that phone no issues since getting the Note 3 the phone has only picked up 3G signal and when you go into network mode its only displaying GSM/WCDMA and no LTE there are no software upgrades available for it ? anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Not trying to be Cpt Obvious here but have you called your mobile company to give you some feedback? Note III is a new device maybe it needs an update from the provider?
Or did you try a hard reset just in case? I'd try to eliminate the software part so you can be sure it is a h/w issue..

No LTE option for me either, however i'm even unsure if i have LTE coverage here.
Didn't speak with provider yet, but as i know there's no network restriction over here, if i got LTE, the phone should autoconnect.

I'm in NYC and although I have the LTE option, I leave it unchecked ad I get much faster speeds (10-15mbps) not using it. It's really weird. Uploads suck either way though, which also pisses me off.

Just to add to this, my N3 won't give LTE options at all when I use my 3 SIM, but does when I sap over to my Vodafone SIM which is on a 4G plan.
I'm pretty certain that it is just a setting on the SIM that toggles the LTE options.

Hey Everyone found a solution for this in another thread. I also was facing this issue no LTE Enabled as the option doesnt exist. I updated to latest firmware XXUBMJ1. Then used CFautoroot to root it coz it is possible only on rooted phones, if not you have to wait until Samsung pushes an OTA update to fix it. Here goes try and see if it works.
Use ES File explorer or your favorite root explorer and go to data/property and find the persist.radio.lteon.xml file. Open it in Text Editor and if the value that is written is false, change it to true. Save and exit and reboot. Got the options back. Done.
LTE needs to be enabled in an update.
On Unbranded, Samsung does this after signing the agreement with the local providers for the frequencies. If you have a branded version, incorporating the LTE setting lies with the provider. If you're unlucky, as most people with branded versions are, this could take quite a while. Some providers have been known to skip dozens of firmware versions as it is 'too much work to change a 200kb update'. Oh the woes of slapping your company sticker on everything...
My Unbranded German one has an LTE option, as Germany has had LTE since 2011. I'm using T-Mobile NL in the Netherlands, which does not have LTE yet.

Willing to bet, the Korean version won't use a Micro-Sim that GSM carriers use, as they're network SK Telecom if i recall does not require the use of sim cards. Also chances are the Korean version will be locked to region specific carriers there.
Don't go for it. Their will be a lot of issues with it. Also very bad developer support, worse than American version.
There may be other hardware compatibility issues with your network.

Quite a lot of the new smartphones in Korea come with usim cards..
Don't ask me the finer details.
There are 3 major carriers in SK, two of them operate WCDMA networks.
I would not go for this phone. Like somebody else said, bad developer support.

Why are you using an app to display battery life. You know the S3 has that built into stock now right?
If I have assisted you, please press Thanks button.
ok so i want the international version, my carrier (h2o wireless) runs on att but they dont have 4g only 3g... my question is , would it work on my carrier?

You mean that ugly stock battery percentage that appears next to the battery icon and takes up additional space? If you have noticed, I do not have any app but actually a circles mod that can display battery percentage within the battery icon.
For the dev support I disagree, it seems they will get the same hardware as the int version only more ram and LTE support so int roms shouln'd be hard to port, am I wrong?

Speaking form experience the SIM card issue is no longer a problem, Korean phones now use SIM cards, all carriers here ( SK, KT, LG all use SIM cards)
All Android phones here as of today (SGS3 is still unknown) are sold carrier unlocked, I've used my Korean issue GalaxyS (m110s) in various countries with no issue (India/China/UK)
Problem with the Korean version is that' you'll lose FM functionality and gain a useless DMB (TV) chip instead, also it's dimensions are ever slightly larger, so getting nice cases might be slightly harder, or you'll have to order from Korea, not impossible though.
Phones can be bought off the shelf here, they're just more expensive than in Europe/US
I'm pretty sure the american version dev support will be just as good as the international.
I have just bought the LG G2 out here in Qatar. The model says it is a D802 which say it's from the Uk. When I put my Vodafone sim card in the phone my mobile network choice does not include LTE auto (only allowed to choice when there is a sim card in the phone) I also have an LG Optimus G Pro which give me the choice of network which includes LTE auto (even without a sim card fitted). Does this mean the phone isn't 4G after all, or is it far too clever for it's own good and only allows you to have LTE auto as a network choice with a 4G sim card inserted?
Is it possible someone who owns a D802 model of the G2 to post a photo of their network choices in settings to prove that LTE or LTE auto is available?

Hey, yeah for some reason the only way I got mine to stick was to flash the ASIA or the MEA firmware. Not necessarily recommending this, but it is how I got around it - the UK firmware was not pulling up the LTE options.

I got LTE perfectly without doing anything... but if you need to add an APN... Just go to Settings ->Connections -> More Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> ADD -> (and add AT&Ts APN...) Done
Because I'm not paying $700+ for the phone in the first place. Plus I don't have time to deal with staying and stopping a contract to pay so much money for it.
On another note, they all have Knox anyways so good luck warranting it.

Luckily for me this phone is for work only so I won't have to worry about root. My GPro shall keep me happy with roms until nexus 5!!!
By the way, any lag at all on your device? And how is the coverage seeing that is running on tmobile ril files?

I believe you're on hspa+. My AT&T note 3 says lte when I'm connected. It says 4G when I'm in hspa areas. Might be different for the t-mobile version though.

so it doesnt say LTE? if it doesnt say LTE on the phone, then means it not connected to at&t lte?
If not, then are you getting HSPA+?

I have the Note 2 with AWS Mod... so it gets the TMO 1700 band too... so my AT&T note 2 is like a TMO Note 2 too... (Not a virgin AT&T Note 2)

ok then that's different right?
because on at&t phone it says 4g lte all the time
if switching to 4g or hspa on t-mobile phone, then that means it losing lte signal?

Exactly
I don't know what Tmobile's Note 3 LTE bands are AT&T's has LTE bands 2, 4, 5 and 17. Not to mention 700mhz. 700mhz is still up in the air, don't really know anything about it but it's been in the news lately. Rather have the option than not. For me, speed is more important than roms. And like many other devices, I'm hoping with a lot of outcry, AT&T's Note 3's bootloader will eventually be opened... Sooner or later.
Huawei P8Max supports these frequencies:
mobile network 2G: GSM 850/900/1800 / 1900MHz 3G: WCDMA 850/900/1900 / 2100MHz 4G: FDD LTE1800 / 2100 / 2600MHz (band: B3 / B1 / B7)
I live in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Will I get LTE? I read that T-Mobile LTE frequency is 1700/2100. According to the stats above, 2100 is listed.
Thank you!
That phone will not work well with T-mobile USA LTE. For best performance you want (bands) B2/B4/B12. From what you posted, it doesn't look like that would even work with some of T-mobile USA's HSPA which is also 1700/2100. It would only work with the 1900Mhz HSPA, which is quite a limitation in my opinion. Sorry!
If anyone has imported this phone and tried it with T-Mobile service - please post feedback here. Like the OP, very interested to know if the phone will get 4G service, or if there is anything that can be done to unlock T-Mo LTE bands in the firmware
If anyone has imported this phone can you please tell me what USA providers support this phone. Would one have better performance than another? I don't know much about the technical aspects of cell phones and am getting so frustrated trying to find a provider! Thanks for your time!

Store admin from honormi.com told me Sprint in US support P8Max LTE frequencies for the version they sell. Don't know if what he said is true and I'm certain neither of the GSM providers AT&T/T-Mobile support P8Max's LTE bands.

Hhhhmmmmm. I have been researching both the P8MAX and the MEDIAPAD X2 for a long time now. (Because I am not a good technical person). I am going to try to check the 701L, 702L and 703L on the website willmyphonework.NET to see if that website (highly recommended to me) agrees. I checked GSM carriers and there was no LTE support... I will try Sprint! Thanks!

WOW! Willmyphonework.NET DOES say that the 703L (they don't have the 701L or the 702L listed) is LTE supported by Sprint USA. I just can't believe it! I have been researching both the P8MAX and the MEDIAPAD X2 for HOURS (on a daily basis) because I am not a phone expert. I cannot believe that not even ONE person piped up to say that their P8MAX was LTE supported on Sprint! You have now given me something else to obsessively research! Lol!

Hi xxfirerican,
I'm not sure you're right on that one.
There has already been quite some info (even apps) on how to unlock additional LTE bands on Qualcomm powered devices. Look here on XDA
Now even reports come in on Exynos devices (SGS6) being put into Diag Mode and adding LTE bands. Link to be found here on XDA. This being possible because lot of other chipmakers do use the Qualcomm modem patent and/or chip.
Now the question is, does this work for Kirin setup too...
I've been looking all around, but still haven't found any reference on the modem being used on the Kirin 935 chipset / P8 Max.
Could someone shed some light on this?
***EDIT***
I tried the ##366633# / ##DMMODE# code on my daughters unrooted P8 (she won't let me root it...) and got some reaction indeed, which might suggest that this code could work on rooted phone with Kirin chipset.
Could someone with a rooted phone confirm this?
Kind regards,
Got my p8 max cannot get it to get internet on T-Mobile. Texting works, contact sync works but no internet so many apn settings out there not sure what is correct

I've been using my P8max since the end of July on Lycamoblie, a T-Mobile MVNO, and I have internet access, albeit, extremely slow 3g/2g access. I'm on WiFI 90% of the time so I'm ok with this. I knew this when I bought the phone so no surprises for me but I wonder why you're not able to get any internet on your phone. That worries me a little if I ever decide to switch from Lycamobile, will I have issues too...
Hi there,
Given the recently announced Mate S' chipset specifications which are almost identitcal to P8 Max, it would be exciting to see if we could port the modem files to the P8 Max and obtaining a far wider LTE compatibility.
Should be possible, wouldn't it?
Regards,
Has anyone tried buying sprint data or boost data only?

QUESTION,THESE PHONES HAVE DUAL SIM....if one goes to willmyphonework.net it tells u that the p8max and honor x2 will only receive 4g LTE signal via sprint and boost mobile,but the 2g and 3g wont work. So, can I buy a ten dollar data plan and use it with my ATT in my dual sim tray?
I've got the P8 Max 701L and I'm not getting LTE in the status bar but check out my speeds. The first pic is with Cricket Wireless service, the second is with MetroPCS, both GSM carriers.

Did the settings provide LTE internet speeds?
I am looking into getting the device but am apprehensive because of the LTE connectivity issue that several people have mentioned, but others have denied. Locally, tmobile towers only provide LTE, edge does not connect to the internet at all.

I purchased an unlocked S10+ from eBay (SM-G9750) that had an origin from Asia. It had the Snapdragon chipset so I thought it would be the same model, but I'm not getting 4G LTE on my phone. My carrier is T-Mobile.
After doing some research, I believe I don't have access to 2 networks bands (71 and another 16(?)). Is there anything I can do to, "fix" the phone so I can have LTE?
Try flashing the tmobile firmware.
Did you make sure the APN setting is set for tmobile?

I have the same phone and I'm getting 4G connectivity on T mobile. I'm in NYC and I'm connecting to bands 4, 5 and 12 typically. My speeds are significantly lower than my S7 because carrier aggregation is not enabled.
Are you in a rural area? I've heard that T mobile uses the 600mhz band 71 (which this phone is missing) for rural LTE coverage.
Type *#2263# in your dialer to see was which.bands your phone supports, I think it support T-Mobile. Also try *#77467# to pull up IMS settings and enable what you can under IMS Service Switch.

Unfortunately not.. The T-Mobile CSC firmware is only available for the US models (G975U and G975U1).
G9750 is intended for South America, China and Hong Kong.
Although you only miss support for B71, so in theory LTE should work just fine since the G9750 supports other T-Mobile bands like Bands 2, 4 and 12.
Do you have another T-Mobile phone to test with to see if you get LTE in your area?

A new feature with the S10+ is that all the US carriers' firmware is embedded and automatically loaded up depending on the carrier SIM card inserted. What's the story on the SIM card you are using? I just swapped in the one from my Galaxy S7 and everything but carrier aggregation worked right out of the box (including WIFI calling, VoLTE and Samsung Pay). I suspect you may be able to fix this if you get a properly provisioned SIM.

Those codes don't work on mine either. *#0011# will let you see what 4G towers you are connecting to (run speed test app while you are looking). Signal spy or LTE discovery app are helpful too.

I don't know, these codes were working fine for me. Try this, download the Google dialer apk (Google the Google dialer port) and then use the code *#*#4636*#*#. You'll have to set it up as your main dialer app and enable permissions. Then try to see if you can configure it like my phone.

I've actually been with T-Mobile for a very long time and this sim is the same one I used in my HTC-M8, Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S8 all of which had LTE, no problem.
I ran the Google speed test, and I'm consistently getting 10 - 15 MBPS. I'm not sure what it was before, but it's noticeably slower than my S8.
I will try getting the Google dialer and try a couple of the other codes mentioned. Thanks for all the suggestions thus far, everyone!
UPDATE:
Google Dialer didn't work either
Any update on this? I just bought a G975U1 unlocked, and my data seems to be very slow with exceptionally high latency. I was wondering if the problem was the lack of carrier aggregation, but that shouldn't cause high latency, should it? Any reason not to flash the carrier firmware? I'm a little confused on that, actually -- if the S10+ pre-loads the carrier firmware based on the sim, why wouldn't carrier aggregation be part of that?

I don't think the current "U" firmware brand switches and downloads the carrier firmwares.
