Hi,
I dont know where i should ask this so i try it this way.
I used to have a i9205 Galaxy Mega LTE. It was always on LTE band 7 (2600mHz). I got a Galaxy S4 i9505 LTE. it is always on band 20(800mHz) if available, but it doesnt take band 7, which has much more coverage in my city. Im on Vodafone NL. Can somebody please help me?
Thanks!

Hi, greetings from your home country
Here you find all specs: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S4 - Samsung Galaxy S4 on Wikipedia
Would be really interesting to hear from an mobil expert which LTE bands are really supported!
In Germany we have band 3 (1.800 Mhz; Telekom) and 20 (800 Mhz; Telekom, Vodafone, o2), eventually also band 7 (2.600 Mhz, all 4 provides).
See www . smsmich . de/Mobiles-Internet/lte-frequenzen . php - Frequenzen in Deutschland.
Only the KT device (SHV-E300K) seems to have this or a very similar config.
If this matches I'd be very interested in this device, too!
Maybe you can report on "investigations" and prizes?!?
Yours tholau
I've been struggling with this issue, and google has brought me here..
I purchased a factory i9505 off ebay, doing my research regarding Canadian LTE compatibility, etc. However I did not delve deep enough in the small print. After not being able to connect onto my Bell LTE, but everything else seemingly working fine, I did some deeper digging, and found that there are specific bands on LTE that are supported/unsupported!!
Apparently the Bell runs their LTE on bands 4 and 17, while the i9505 only talks on bands 1, 5, 3, 7, 8 and 20.... who knew! lol
But now I come here, and I saw this post:

...The GT-i9505 is the international S4 that uses the qualcomm quadcore cpu which is marketed in the USA as i377 (at&t) and i377m (bell/rogers/telus) in Canada. These 2 variants don't support AWS bands out of the box, but users have shown a way to enable that on these phones.
There is also another variant of the i9505 marketed as SGH-M919 for T-Mobile in USA and SGH-M919V for Wind/Videotron in Canada. These support AWS bands out of the box and work perfectly well on all North American providers such as At&t, Rogers, Bell, Virgin Mobile, T-Mobile, etc.
Hope this helps your dilemma!

So my question is... is there some anyone on this board who might be able to show me how I could somehow make my i9505 work with Bell LTE?
I am moderately tech saavy, and would be alright with rooting the phone with some help.
Or maybe this isn't possible?!?!
Thanks again

Actually upon reading more carefully, I really don't think it's an AWS problem, it's a Band 4 problem.... I don't think that's the same issue, but please correct me if I'm wrong!!
Thanks, though! :good:

I think you're right. The little bit of research I've done it sounds like the i9505 doesn't support lte in north America. I think your stuck with with 3g. Or you could see if you could trade it for a G version

uhhhh, I wouldn't say that... I do believe that the i9505 will talk LTE with Rogers/Fido... just not Bell.
This is why I'm asking if I could somehow 'hack' my i9505 to talk LTE Band 4 which will get me on Bell's LTE network.
Anyone?
Hey there, I got a Samsung galaxy s4 lte a e330 L. What lte networks does it run on? I can't get lte on my phone and I can't even get network mode option, which is the option to toggle between 3g and 4g etc. I'm on 3 network in the UK, the phone is on kitkat 4.4.2.
Answer.

Go here:

Look at Model variants, SHV-E330.
There is your answer.
Hello. I have recently acquired a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9006 and found that it cannot get better than 2G speeds, no 3G or 4G on T-Mobile.
Would there be a way to fix this? If so, any help would be appreciated.

N9006 has no 4G and from the 3G bands only one in 4 fits with T-Mobile (2100MHz) - if that is not strong in your region then you are out of luck (you might also want to see if it is possible to only force that band so as to avoid the phone trying to change to the other 3 bands that don't work).
Can somebody help me please... I recently bought a used S5 LTE-A X3 to use in Nigeria. It only shows 3G and not H+ or H. I understand it is due to my phone not operating on same network band as my service provider. I also understand that the problem can be overcome. Can someone kindly assist me as i am totally new to this.
