Galaxy NOTE 3 Wind N900W Networks - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Forum,
I just got a note 3 from Wind and when I go to the network settings I can only see the following options
WDCMA/GSM
WCDMA only
GSM only
Does this mean that the phone wont work on lte? can anyone else confirm if they have the same phone.
Thanks,

It's there but you have to unlock and root the phone. flash a modem to enable it.

That is not true, you do NOT need to root the device or modify it in any way to get LTE to work simply plug in an LTE sim once the device is unlocked and it will pick up the network. I purchased my Note 3 from WINDMobile on friday and tested a Rogers SIM in the device to check out LTE compatibility it picked it up no problem and I can pull about 25Mbps on the Rogers LTE network in Calgary

SGH-M919v Videotron to TELUS

Greetings all
Is there a way to get an unlocked SGH M919V from Videotron to work with TELUS , the phone works but not LTE and if I enable it using the enable all LTE in the phone console I lose the capability to make or receive phone calls .
Do I need to install a different firmware and if so which one.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there..
All of you masters out there. I just jumped from an iphone to s4. And got this S4-SGH M919V from WIND Canada.
I am a newbee to Android. Now I have been searching if there is a way to enable LTE in my S4. I am facing the exact same problem as my friend posted above. I have tried enabling LTE through ×#2263# command. It does show an esterik infront of LTE bands once selected butttttt I cant make calls.
Now I think this is happening because Wind model of S4 which I have does not support the LTE band frequencies...
My question is if there anyway I can flash the modem firmware from T-mobile which apparently has all the LTE bands in it????
Will that enable LTE in my S4??
P.S I have not rooted or done anything yet with the phone. Just got it unlocked through Wind mobile.
Phone details are as folows..
Wind S4.
Device name : SGH M919V
Baseband : M919VVLUAMG1.
I am currently using wind mobile sim card with 4g speed on it.
I really need this LTE enabled. Because when I put a Bell sim in my phone. It connects data with 3g. Its not showing LTE at all. And when I tried forcing LTE with bell sim inserted, the LTE works fine but I lose the calls.
I would greately appreciate any guidence here. Thank you.

the answer...
Not sure if anyone still needs the answer to this but i just figured it out WITHOUT having to flash anything to the phone... phone is 100% stock except that its unlocked... Its the SGH-M919V from WIND mobile in Canada.. I switched over to Koodo mobile and LTE wasnt working... So open the dialer and type in *#2263# and hit AUTOMATIC and make sure theres a star beside it... before this only 3G would come up... Now LTE works!!! Good luck!

Does the phone work for voice calls?
I think 4G/LTE is completely out of the question but 3G should work - you might need to manually set the details for the AT&T mobile data access point (and set network mode to to WCDMA/GSM).

AT&T LTE is on different bands and they use on N900A a custom modem (on 700/850/1700/1900/2100 vs. 800/850/900/1800/2100/2600 in the N9005). I remember that there was a bounty on making that work but I did not see anybody claiming it - search around for more details (I could be wrong and it could be about some other Note 3 model).

Has anyone SIM unlocked the S5 to other Providers?

I ran the region unlock app yesterday just for the hell of it on my Developer edition and inserted my friends AT&T Sim card and the calls went thru!. There was an H signal but it wasn't bright like the rest of the icons on the status bar and had no internet only calls, so I wonder if the AWS Unlock/hack will make the 3g/4g work? Or if anyone knows how please share.

I got 4G LTE speed on my Verizon note 3 and S5 with tmobile or AT&T sim, you just need to change APN accordingly.

All Verizon 4G phones are sim unlocked.
As urcboss said, you just need to change the APN to the specific carrier settings.
I am able to successfully use my VZ Galaxy Note 3 and my wife uses her VZ Galaxy S5, both on T-mobile Edge, HSPA, HSPA+, and LTE (band 4) frequencies.
Here's the guide I followed for both (with correct APN settings screenshots to accommodate for MMS on page 4 or 5 i believe):

Edge network makes my LTE run away

My buddy just gave me his T-Mobile Note 3 so I started using it. I was using the S4 before and I was always getting LTE no matter where I was. Now that I am using the note 3, I keep getting the edge network everytime, and sometimes I will get 4g but that is at very rare places. Is there a setting to change the band on the phone to make it work on att?

With the same SIM card? Or with another SIM card/another mobile network?
Anyway, you can try to change the band with this menu: *#2263# (*#BAND#)
You can find other Samsung secret codes with the 'Secret Code Explorer' menu (in the Shortcut Master app).

I tried numerous sim cards. Anyways I did the band thing and changed it to all. seems I get the 4g now, but it eventually goes back to edge, so the only fix is to restart the phone to get it back to 4g. any fix to this?

1- Did you try these sim cards with another phones?
2- Try to manually select LTE instead of Auto?

Issues with LTE on Unlocked Sprint Note 4

Hi all,
I've been having a Sprint Galaxy Note 4 that is unlocked. I bought it unlocked already. My mobile service provider is T-Mobile. I have an unlimited plan with them. The issue is that the Note cannot connect to LTE network. The only option available for me to access the internet on the go is the GSM/UMTS option under the network mode settings. Using this option my phone can only connect to a 3g service that is painfully slow. If I try selecting the CDMA or LTE/CDMA option under the network mode settings the Note will not get any service at all as if there was no sim card inside of the phone. Therefore I can only use the GSM/UMTS option. Is there a fix for this or am I stuck with 3g service on this phone? Please ask me questions if you have any that will help me get to a fix. Thanks :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

I believe the LTE bands in sprint CDMA/VERIZON CDMA are different. they are not compatible with T-mobile because T-mobile required completely different LTE bands and they are locked in sprint phones and they cannot be unlocked.
If you have N910V/N910P You will only get HSPA/HSPA+ 3G/3.5G with T-MOBILE/AT&T network.
My best suggestions will be you can swap your sprint with T-mobile note 4 because N910T has more LTE bands unlocked then any other note 4 models actually more bands then international models too.
