Hi, I bought my note 3 in UAE and I am using it in the UK. I am on Vodafone. I always get rubbish signal in my house. It is on "emergency calls only" nearly all the time. Also the LTE/4G has NEVER worked since I got it on launch (Sep). Whenever I turn the 4G on the H+ sign never comes up. Some people may argue that Vodafone is a rubbish network. I agree too but I think I may need to flash a different modem? My model is a SM-9005. Do I need to flash a different modem to get the 4G to work? Thanks

You can actually try a different ROM or maybe a custom ROM? At the same time, reception might just be poor in your house. So you might need to make do with regular 3G or EDGE. I no for a fact that in my friend's house i ALWAYS have to switch to 2G because 3G reception is never available, I have SM-N900 tho.

And how about when you set it to HSPA only?
UAE's LTE bands won't work with Vodafone.

what if i flash a different rom/modem?
I just checked and vodafone operates 4G/LTE at 800MHz. On the samsung uae website it says that the note 3 supports 800MHz 4G/LTE
ROM's won't make a difference as it's the hardware on the device itself.
I also noticed the note 3 doesnt have a superb signal reception... For example in my house my moms s3 and dads s4 have full bars where i on my note have one bar less than they do. Little dissapointed

Check phone status in settings and compare it with the S3 and S4 - you'll see it's just the bar's that show different the dBm's are what counts. You'll see it'll be identical to the S3/4

The device itself has the bands. But you cannot access them by changing the modem. The N9005 supports many many bands but different MPN Codes on each device limit it to specific countries.
It's all a legal thing. Radio frequencies are controlled, unless the UAE version supports the exact same frequency that your UK carrier runs on it won't work. Upgrade to kitkat and test it.

My note 3 with uae ROM was showing 4g in status bar, when I flashed Poland ROM it starts showing lte, means it's a region specific, some shows lte some 4g.

What is the work around then? Any way I can have LTE reflected in the status bar
why do you care ? youre getting the speed anyway regardless of what is shown in the bar.

For note 3 i know Poland xeo was showing lte, note 4 i don't know, you need to keep flashing one after another rom of diffrent countries till you get lte.

Buddy, LTE and 4G is the same! 4th generation mobile network. If you've rooted your phone it's easy, just install gravity box and switch to LTE icon, done. It's just the icon, if it shows 4G your're connected to a LTE network!
Comprehensive list of ROMs for N910C?
Does anyone know of a site or thread that lists all of the available ROMs for the SM-N910C? The Phone INFO Samsung app shows it has a UAE ROM, but the default language on first boot is UK English. I'm having the same weird issues with the connectivity icon, and it would be nice to try some different regional firmwares.
I would be moving to Vancouver in 2-3 months, so wanted to know if I can pop-in a GSM sim (of one of the good carriers over there) in the the unlocked version of Edge+ available in India (SM-G928G). Which all bands it supports, any idea?
Thanks

I wouldn't be so sure. Check the band it supports for 4G. Usually Indian and Canadian carriers use different bands, so a 4G device capable in India might not work with 4G of Canadian carrier. Other than that, phone should work without a problem. If the 4G spectrum is not supported, your data would be limited to 3G.
Check what all bands are supported in your model, you can see it here I guess. Also, check here for the LTE spectrum used by different carriers in different countries.
Hope that helps!

Hello there, my device is an international version and I am running with T-Mobile micro-sim, the highest I get is 4G, do you know the setting to get LTE by any chance(s)? Device's info is in the signature

Try pressing *#*#4636#*#*
Once you're at the Test Menu, select Device Information-> Set preferred Network Type -> LTE/GSM auto (PRL). This is how I change my network type on AT&T. If your network/device is compatible with LTE, you should see LTE symbol below 4G symbol on notification bar.

Ofcourse. It's not a lot, you could have just tried once before asking again!
Usually samsung's service command codes start with *#*# and ends with #*#*

Checked it, Telus and Rogers both work at Band 4 for LTE, and SM-G928G has it, so I guess there shouldn't be any problem.

In my AT&T model, it works. And I believe it should work just fine for any other model as well as long as its S6 Edge+. Not really sure why it's not working for you. You just need to press #*#*4636*#*# quickly in the native dialer and that should open up the menu. You do not even need to click on dial button to make a call. You can search for your carrier specific model's service menu codes in google.

I downloaded an app from the play store and it shows that I am on T-Mobile B4 band. I will try that again to see.
Hai. I read reviews said Nexus 6p has lte-a. But I only got lte full bar. I thought the problem is the telco provider. but when I changed my sim to my wife phone (samsung s6), it has lte-a. Btw I'm using 8.1 and rooted. Is there anyways to make it connected to lte-a?
Sorry english is not my 1st language. Hope you understand. Thanks for any advice.
What kind of speeds where you getting on the 6p?
Vanilla android desn't display LTE+ icon. Same goes to HSPA+

20-50Mbps. But when using Samsung S6, I got 100-150Mbps.

I'm not sure. But speed is significantly different when using other phone.
Make sure, that APN are exactly the same like in a phone, that for sure connects to LTE+
Install LTE discovery app and check if LTE band agregation is working
Well, I searched for this thread but couldnt find it, if theres a original post, im sorry for making a new one, but I had S9 and always on the top right corner was LTE icon for my cellular network. I bought S10+ and with the same SIM and same cellular, im getting 4G and 4G+ only, no more LTE. I know LTE is basically the same as 4G, but still it looks nicer to me when it says LTE. Maybe its up to the firmware, I dont know. Some advices?

When I was on the U firmware of Verizon I used to see 4G/4G+. I moved to U1 firmware and now I get LTE/LTE+. Possibly it is indeed uptown the firmware used.

I had the same issue after csc change tht aftr I used *#272*imei# =>>turned my s10+ INS/INS, INS/INS into BTU/BTU/, BTU/INS. It always was LTE in my netwrk tht suddenly became 4G+. I dint worry at 1st but ws shocked whn the phone lost call recording feature, caller ID and spam protection, offers showd in pound in Samsung members app instead of INR. I could never fix ths issue bcz tht csc changing code was unidirectional, it dint work after the phone became a BTU phone. None of the old methods to change csc worked. I got the phone replaced by Samsung aftr few weeks of struggle nd thn all became normal.
Probably have to root your F model phone to get LTE to display. You better off asking this question in the other forum section for a more accurate answer.

Mine has 4G and LTE. I win!
But yes, the icons are dependent on csc.. each carrier can tweak the icons to their liking, if u look through the csc code you will see what i mean.
i dunno if any apps exist (they used to) that let u change the icons but i would just go that route if i were you.
