**** No LTE Issue FIXED **** - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am not sure if someone has figured this out already, but I have confirmed how to get our phones back using LTE. The problem is the new LTE band 26. It is for SPARK only and for some reason if it is enabled, the phone only looks for this band. If we disable band 26, the phone picks up normal LTE great. To disable do the following:
1. ##DATA#
2. Enter MLS (you can get using program by using a program in the Galaxy S5 Sprint Spark kills data + voice calls at the same time! forumn post #36)
3. Go to LTE
4, Disable band 26
5. Reboot phone
You phone will now work just like the old LTE service on the galaxy ss (minus voice and data at same time).

can give better steps on how to do this

I'll try this. Let's see if it'll work.

Galaxy S5 LTE will not connect. This Fix worked for me.

I followed the instructions like another thread comment said to do but for some reason I couldn't get it to work still but after playing around I was able to get it working.
---- Instructions for enabling: (thanks eyecon82) ----
1. dial ##3282#
2. then click edit (need MSL code) (I used SPCUtility.apk as nothing else worked on my S5)
3. then click LTE
4. It will show LTE ( also known as Band 25), Band 3, Band 26, Band 41 ( I unchecked marked all of these but the LTE option leave that check marked to on)
5. Disable all bands leave LTE check mark to say on.
6. Go to the main directory by hitting back key and choose More at the bottom
7. Choose HDR/1X Selection and choose LTE only Mode. Click OK to save
8. You can either reboot or I just turn on airplane mode and turn it back off to reset the connection.
9. LTE should be working like mine did. But you will not get phone calls until you turn back on the HDR/1X Selection to LTE + CDMA +EVDO Mode but you will get text messages fine.
The items that are underlined in Red are the stuff i added.
---- To tell what Band on: ----
1. ##debug#
2. enter passcode 777468
3. go to LTE engineering menu
I hope this helps because all the other stuff I read would not work for my Galaxy S5 I just bought.
Thanks
One more thing
I read on here http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/...-due-to-circuit-switched-fallback-technology/
that this problem should be fixed soon but if you need LTE now here it is.

Thanks for the info. However, I think its crazy to want to set it up for LTE when you cannot receive phone calls especially since this is you know, is a phone. Calling Sprint and talking about this situation is useless. They all say nothing is wrong and its the device. I'm really pissed off about this but I enjoy the phone. This will probably be the last Sprint phone I will get.

I use it at night or in places that I need fast internet and when I know I dont need a phone for a bit which is why I have voicemail I just switch over to LTE for a bit and then back...but yes it sucks for now until they upgrade the tower over here with the feature needed to use LTE spark devices.
Im loyal to sprint but its becoming more and more hard to be loyal.
Probably just your area, not the phone.
Your area may have LTE but if it doesn't have the circuit fall back enabled yet (tri-band phones) can't drop the data to allow a call and thus they force you to remain on 3G only.
Once your area has everything done it should get better.
I have similar situation that KILLS my battery at home but in every other part of town it all works great :/

Found out from reading the Sprint forums (https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/157300?start=0&tstart=0), that this is likely not caused by the circuit fallback, but incomplete rollouts of Spark technology. Disabling the new Spark bands has helped me keep a stable LTE connection. Once the Spark rollout is complete in my area, and Band 26 can support both Voice and Data, I'll re-enable it the new spark bands.

Which bands did you disable? Also, are you able to get voice calls when you LTE?
Im a bit frustrated be the place I spend most of my time (where I used to get LTE fine with my S3) I no longer get LTE and its super slow 3g. Calling sprint didn't help, they just say to wait until cell tower updates are finished in the next 6 months.
If I disable the Spart bands, will I be able to keep LTE and voice? Thanks

I disabled bands 26 and 41. This forces the phone to use the default sprint LTE band. It receives voice calls just fine.

LTE works fine because it defaults to the standard LTE band.

Read the sprint link. Incomplete rollout of spark, in particular on band 26 can cause the issue of not being able to switch between 4G and 3G and back.

[Q] [N9002] Galaxy Note 3 Duos Enable LTE Band 4 from Service Menu, Does this work??

Hi All,
I stumbled across this as I am currently not in the US to test this out. Could someone see if this actually works? It supposedly enables the LTE band 4 on this phone even though specs say that there's not LTE on it. I was hoping it would be there as it has the same hardware as the N9005.
According to the Service Mode on the N9002, you can enable VZW LTE Band 4. I believe T-Mobile also uses this band for their LTE. I enabled it for me, but I am currently in an area that I can't test it. I posted screenshots of the Service Mode, and a video capture going into the menu.
How to enter service mode:
1. At phone dialer, dial *#0011#.
2. At the service mode, hit the menu key, and select back. It looks like it did nothing, but go to the next step.
3. Hit the menu key again and select "Key Input" and type "Q". It looks like it did nothing, but go to the next step.
4. Hit the menu key again and select "Key Input" and type "0000" (zeros).
5. Wait until you see "Main Menu"
6. Select [3] LTE
7. Select [2] LTE RF
8. Select [1] VZW LTE B4 on/off
9. Select B4 Enable(). It should now have an asterik in the parenthesis.
10. Reboot phone.
Here's a screen capture on how to enable it.

If anyone can confirm this works, I'd really appreciate it.

I tried this on the N9002; Dual Sim variant.
If you have a different version, this might be better for you as I didn't have a custom kernel for mine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059
I just ran the process and my phone rebooted without problems (N9005). Now, I just have to get an LTE sim card for a network that runs on those bands (I'll try to do it on this weekend and confirm if it worked).

We have the same phone, sorry I didn't mention that. I'm running a custom rom, witch I guess is only an advantage... But you enabled lte band 4 and in Sweden my carrier has band 3. I checked the other "how to" but it seems a little bit complicated and I'm a little bit worried about messing things up.

It should be fine. I've done it a couple of times and it rebooted fine and connected to the area cell signals, just the area i'm currently in doesn't have any LTE.

I don't have a way to try it right now(my n9002 is at a repair shop atm), but would you mind trying this? the article says to modify the /data/property/ persist.radio.lteon file to "true" and “LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)” should show up as a selection of network preference. Can you let me know what your results are when you try it?
//smokeys.wordpress.com/2014/04/06/how-to-enable-lte4g-on-samsung-galaxy-note-3-sm-n9005/
Sorry for the long wait, wife had phone. The file was already set to true. No lte option in Network Mode menu.
Thanks for trying. I realized that my bootloader is locked so I can't flash a permissive kernel. I think that would've been able to do it I think... oh well
My SM-N9005 was crahed 4G/LTE when i test that... even if I disable, my 4G not working now
How I can deblock that ?

I try this and I still have only 3G/H+ on n9002.
Probably Samsung does not include LTE Modem

I did all your steps. But in RRC (Service mode, main page) i'm still see "RRC: IDLE, Band5" and i don't connect to band4. I checked and that band is activated.
Why?

XT1527/XT1528 bands

Compiled from FCC information and Wikipedia for two of the Moto E LTE models:
FCC ID IHDT56QC8 (XT1528) -
This LTE transceiver supports high-speed wireless data communications within LTE Bands 2, 4, 5, and 13, with channels up to 20 MHz in bandwidth.
FCC ID IHDT56QC7 (XT1527) -
This LTE transceiver supports high-speed wireless data communications within LTE Bands 2, 4, 5, 12, 17, 25, 26, and 41, with channels up to 20 MHz in bandwidth.
From Wikipedia:
2 = 1900Mhz (PCS)
4 = 1700Mhz (AWS)
5 = 850 (Cellular?)
12 = 700 a
13 = 700 c
17 = 700 b
25 = 1900 g
26 = 850 (SMR?)
41 = 2500 (old WiMax)
So, the Verizon model (1528) will technically support LTE on AT&T and T-Mobile bands 2 & 4. It has all three Verizon LTE bands (obviously) - 2, 4, 13. You would be missing LTE on AT&T band 17 and LTE on T-Mobile band 12.
The other model (1527) will support LTE on AT&T in 2, 4, and 17. Will support Sprint on 2, 25, 26, and 41. Will support T-Mobile on 2, 4, and 12. Technically it might also support Verizon on 2 and 4. (Verizon is currently using 4 as part of XLTE in certain markets, and I don't know if think are running LTE on 2 at all. )
It appears that the 1527 model is the better one to get for band coverage, unless you want Verizon LTE on band 13.
Found a third model. From FCC docs:
FCC ID: IHDT56QC1.
This mobile device is also equipped with an LTE transceiver. This LTE transceiver supports high-speed wireless data communications within LTE Bands 2, 4, 5, 7, 12, and 17, with channels up to 20 MHz in bandwidth.
This particular variant will work on LTE on AT&T in bands 2, 4, and 17. It will work on LTE on T-Mobile in 2, 4, and 12. It will work on Verizon's LTE on 2 and 4, but is missing Verizon's core band 13 (700c). Not sure which provider is using it with on band 5 (850). This model apparently (compared to QC7) is missing the Sprint LTE bands completely (25, 26, 41).

Does the Verizon XT1528 support GSM bands?
All postpaid Verizon 4g lte have UNLOCKED GSM bind if I am correct. Has Verizon been able to block GSM bands in the Moto E 2015?
I have been trying to figure this for last couple of days.

I got the VZW Moto E working on a AT&T GoPhone SIM. The phone complains that it isn’t a VZW sim and there isn’t an option to switch to GSM is the settings menu. Though you can definitely adjust that setting elsewhere (no rooting involved). Just install this app "4G LTE Switch" . All the app does is spawn an activity that is actually in the Android Settings app that normally is only accessible by a special code in the dialer. Motorola has removed that special code, so you have to get at it this way. This app is hardly the only one to do the same thing. You could do the same thing from APEX launcher by selecting the right activity to spawn in the Android Settings app.
Once you’re into the Phone Info menu, just scroll down to “Set preferred network type” and choose LTE/GSM. Once I did that, the phone connected to AT&T LTE. I was able to place a call as well. I also saw it drop to H+, so I know UMTS was working as well. If you reboot the phone though, it will revert to “LTE/CDMA” mode and you will again have to change it back to “LTE/GSM”.
A STRONG WORD OF CAUTION... There is a menu in the upper right hand corner of the phone info screen. In that menu is an option to "Set Radio Band". In there, you will be presented with two options. Choosing either option will limit the bands your phone will use at a given time. It will not open up more bands for you to use. By default, your phone's baseband (the processor that controls the radio) will select bands automatically without restrictions. Once you make a selection from this menu, YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK TO AUTOMATIC MODE. (Never say never... you can just reflash the baseband to reset it... but you don't want to have to do this) A factory reset doesn't fix this because this setting is made in the phone's baseband and not within Android OS. Bottom line, don't get curious and use the "Set Radio Band" option. I made this mistake with a Moto X and was finally able to fix it by reflashing the baseband.

This intrigues me as well. Airtel, the most popular carrier in India, runs GSM 1800,900 UMTS 2100 LTE 40 (2300). The VZW Moto E according to the RF Exposure Report on the FCC for IHDT56QC8 says that the Moto E only supports CDMA 1900,850 GSM 1900,850 UMTS 1900,1700,850 LTE 2 (1900), 4 (1700), 5 (850), 13 (750). That would mean that there is no way that a VZW Moto E would run on Airtel. Does the phone support more bands than are listed in the FCC filing or did you do something else like flash a different baseband?

Thanks for the advice, It worked with app "4G LTE Switch", BUT the sim card is still not recognizable, I mean it says Sim card is not from Verizon. Luckily the phone and the SIM card are working now. Thanks again my friend

The VZW Moto E according to the RF Exposure Report on the FCC for IHDT56QC8 says that the Moto E only supports CDMA 1900,850 GSM 1900,850 UMTS 1900,1700,850 LTE 2 (1900), 4 (1700), 5 (850), 13 (750). That would mean that there is no way that a VZW Moto E would run on Airtel. Does the phone support more bands than are listed in the FCC filing or did you do something else like flash a different baseband?

A STRONG WORD OF CAUTION... There is a menu in the upper right hand corner of the phone info screen. In that menu is an option to "Set Radio Band". In there, you will be presented with two options. Choosing either option will limit the bands your phone will use at a given time. It will not open up more bands for you to use. By default, your phone's baseband (the processor that controls the radio) will select bands automatically without restrictions. Once you make a selection from this menu, YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK TO AUTOMATIC MODE. (Never say never... you can just reflash the baseband to reset it... but you don't want to have to do this) A factory reset doesn't fix this because this setting is made in the phone's baseband and not within Android OS. Bottom line, don't get curious and use the "Set Radio Band" option. I made this mistake with a Moto X and was finally able to fix it by reflashing the baseband.

Appreciate the warning, but there is a simple workaround I just accidentally did this and the radio was disabled, but if you set 'LTE/GSM' in the app, and then go into normal 'settings -> Wireless & Networks -> More -> Cellular networks -> Network Operators -> Choose Automatically' will bring back auto selection.

[GUIDE] Increase JIO speed

How to speed up jio connection?
I am posting pre configuration also as well as in case pre configuration not work you can try at your own hit and trial method.
Pre config -
I am not providing any downloadable files or content. This process needs root and volte supported roms. Custom lineage and its based roms still can have issue. It will work best on eui roms ( stock and customs) .
App need -
Net guru (free) - download
1. Download net guru app. And give root access . It will take some time for configuration.
2. Wait untill it shows LTE testing.
3. Now go to menu and select lock bands.
4. Now select LTE and select "B3 1800+" band.
5. Restart and. Enjoy new speed.
Reason to lock only this band -
Coverage + speed too.
Check speed by trai app.
If above method don't work then follow till 3rd step and now select 3 individual bands at which jio works and check your speed at individual bands and lock them at your most preferable band.
Details about bands:
Jio is using 3 LTE bands for 4G:
Band 3 (1800Mhz),
Band 5 (850Mhz)
and Band 40 (2300Mhz)
If LTE Bands are arranged according to services then
Best 4G coverage*: Band 5 > Band 3 > Band 40
Best 4G Speed*: Band 40 > Band 3 > Band 5
Average 4G speed*: Band 40 : 30mbps+Band 3 : 14mbps+Band 5 : 5mbps+
Extra -
1. After Deleting app band locking still works.
2. Restarting doesn't affect band locking.
3. Updating roms or changing also not affect band locking.
4. It's not necessary band 3 will give you more speed or coverage try according to your area. Mine is most suitable at B3.
Working - Sim - up. Working in Delhi, haryana and up.
Post your results.
Thank you bro
If you will use this trick then you both incoming and outgoing call will not work at the time of data connection ,you have to switch to flight mode to enable again

ZTE blade a7 prime on at&t service

i just got this phone from visible, of course it comes unlocked but it only has some of the bands needed for lte service on att. i was curious if anyone has tried this phone on att and tell me how good lte is with just a few of the bands
Google camera for zte blade a7 prime
Even I got this phone through visible, but was wondering if gcam can be installed in this?
It is lacking almost all of At&t bands. Most likely you are on band 2.
quote from sd
To whomever is trying to configure the ZTE Blade A7 to work voice/text, use a network app like "Mobile Network Mode" to force it to select different type of network.
1. Go to the app, select "Force Mode"
2. Set Preferred Network Type: either "GSM Auto" or "LTE/UMTS auto"
This should enable you to make voice call or text both incoming & outgoing.
I had success doing this for my CricketWireless. When doing voice call, it switches to 3G mode.
You must setup your regular APN to have 4G LTE enabled.

I have mine on T-Mobile and it works perfectly after popping in a different SIM to add the TMOB APN.
But it wouldn't make a great DD, because while TMOB Band 4 support is fine where I am, I know from experience that it's pretty spotty elsewhere.
