[Q] 4G in Dubai? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone here in the UAE and on Etisalat? I haven't seen my N3 connect in 4G once, even though I do have the 4G version and LTE is checked in the options. Is it only me?

Call your carrier and request a 4G enabled micro sim card.

In Abu Dhabi it connects most of the time

I changed my sim card not too long before getting the N3. Haven't had the time, I guess, to realize I had a problem on my old phone. But now, putting that sim back in it, no 4G - although I definitely had 4G on it before.
I guess you're onto something. Thanks for the tip, MohJee.
And thank you for the answer, Hazem.

I've had 4G consistently since getting the S4 when it launched (in April?).
I have it on my N3 as well.
Both in Abu Dhabi & Dubai.
In fact just yesterday I was monitoring speed and it consistently downloaded at 33Mbps.
That's faster than my home connection (30Mbps).

Just a few things.
1- Are you referring to the UK version of this device or an American Version as if you are on about the American Version then this post is in the wrong section. (Sorry if you are on about the UK Version)
2- Not sure about your device but in my Network Mode I have only got 3 options. GSM/WCDMA(Auto mode), GSM only, WCDMA only.
So don't have an CMDA or CDMA section.
Please clarify.
Thanks.

1. I dont know which version, I preordered it on Newegg.com. it says GT-I9300
2. I choose WCDMA for 3G, the last one.
I got no 3G before, I just tried it today and it connected to 3G, before it was like "no services"
Could I make a suggestion that you Change your Thread Title to maybe say U.S only as here in the uk we have 3G on T-Mobile.

Has anyone brought their Verizon G2 to T-Mobile?

My contract is up soon and I'm quite tired of Verizon and their exorbitant bills, but I digress. I know the VS980 is unlocked so a T-Mobile SIM would work in the phone.
Has anyone brought their Verizon G2 to T-Mobile? Any problems in doing so?

yup. everything including lte will work
I am using on AT&T but my city doesn't have same LTE bands activated on AT&T as that of available bands on VZW G2.
I am using HSPA and HSPAP with no complaints.
Other minor inconvenience includes all stock apps and services of VZW were still active which I had to disable. But other than that no major complaints.
---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------
Actually most VZW phones these days come with GSM bands and given misconception that VZW phones can be used only on their network, you can find some good deals on Craigslist.
On stock rom i was only getting hspa
With cloudy roms i was able to change to gsm/wcdma/lte preferred and got lte
No complaints at all im loving it. Sent from my vs980 on tmobile oudy g3 rom simple kernel. ****s a beast

Can you confirm whether its H818(P) or H818(N) -- want to know what the last letter is, if there is one.
Can you post a photo of the box like here. Obscure youer imei, but want to see the model# and the frequencies it supports.
It looks like this is a dual MICRO sim device. That means to use 4g, requires to exchange a micro sim (if that is what you have) for a nano sim that then has to be put in a nano-micro sim adapter to use 4G with this device (if you want to use 4G that is).
I wonder if there will be a single sim variant offered in India as dual sim versions don't get any 3rd party rom support.

Cricket users reported that they received updates, maybe because cricket works on at&t towers..
If you are in US u can take ur mobile to best buy and get it updated.. odin is not possible as of now as at&t didn't release any firmware...
I got the phone unlocked and took it with me to india but i was not receiving any updates.. luckily my sister has come to india.. i borrowed her at&t sim and got the update as soon as i put the sim

None of them have ever been able to pull an update and I have not been able to find a way to get them to update.
AT&T store near me does not want to help due to me not having AT&T service and my "local" best buy is about an hour away.

No 4g on three uk

Hi got a grey axon 7 from Germany and put a three sim in the phone but 4g does not work. But if I put a Vodafone sim in 4g works OK.
OK got 4g until I changed sim data then went back stuck on 3g again

Settings > All settings > Dual SIM settings > Mobile networks > Access Point Names - make sure your APN is correct, you should be able to Google the correct settings.
By the way, EE is about twice the speed of 3...
I had issues with Three when I was just in the UK. I was getting LTE however the signal was weak and barely worked. My O2 and EE cards worked fine though and stayed connected. I double checked the apn and they were correct, I'm thinking that Three's service is just horrid.
Are you sure you got the European Version?
The US phone only has 1 of Three's LTE bands

Not sure where you're getting that info from, but the US version has the LTE bands that Three uses, which is bands 3 (1800) and 20 (800). I was also checking the bands using LTE discovery while I was in the UK with the US version and it was hitting the bands just fine. O2 works using the same bands and my service was great.

Just ordered my grey Axon 7 from Amazon.de and now seeing this thread. I've got a Three contract for data. Anyone else have any luck with signal using 3 or should I send it straight back ? Has the new software update helped ?

I'm on Axon 7 US, LTE is working fine on Three UK.
It might be my imagination but I think I even have one more bar on my LTE connection than on my old phone (Moto X Style) at the same location.
The only issue I have with it is for some reason it says 4G on the navigation bar when it's a HSPA+ connection. And when it's actually 4G it says 4G LTE. :/

4g is not ok on this phone with three.
Note 5 -83db on 3g 25mb/s speed test
Axon 7 - -97 to -110db 5mb/s speed test
note 5 -109db LTE 64.6mb/s speed test
Axon 7 no data as never connects to 4g for more than 2 seconds
However on vodafone both phones signals seem the same but three there is no contest the axon 7 is nearly unusable i have regular drop outs, full signal loss, having to put into flight mode out of flight mode to get a web page to load. I will be sending this phone back for a dual sim note 7 believe it or not a phone needs signal first, features second this "phone" got it the wrong way round shame really because if the signal was good this phone would annihilate the note 5 or note 7.
