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!
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
I have a weird issue with LTE on my Note 3. When I go to settings, and set network mode to LTE/WCDMA/GSM, LTE sign next to signal strength in status bar appears for a second, and then disappears. And I can't use 4G network.
So I'm asking you, if anybody else have this issues? Is it problem with carrier or phone?
Everything except that works without problems.
Thank you.
What's the model of your Note 3 and carrier?
Doubt this could be the issue but have you checked with the APN for your network?

Model is N9005, it has LTE, and carrier is T-Mobile ( Croatia ).

So I came across a similar thread with the same issue.

Not sure if this will help but you could give it a try.

Well, who knows, I changed APN settings and 2G/3G works, I'll see about 4G later because I can't catch the signal at home.
It's interesting that they have already sent me internet options by sms, and they are probably wrong.
It works now! I've just changed the APN settings and that's it. I can't believe that T-Mobile sends wrong settings.

Really? It's T-Mobile Croatia...
I just successfully flashed the modem/rom/etc on my new S4 for ATT. I have service with H+ on ATT but I am unable to get LTE, GPS, or MMS messages. Does anyone know if there is a way to get these functions working yet on this phone?
4.4.2 Firmware.
Sounds like the apns are messed up. Maybe search for what they should be and verify against what is set on your device.

I have verified the APN is correct per another ATT S4 stock and my old S3 LTE APN, still no LTE. let me remind you that this is a n unlocked SPRINT phone with GSM enabled as primary connection..

Make sure the network mode is set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM or something with LTE if you have other options. Also, i'm not entirely sure the Sprint model has the same LTE bands enabled.
I've been using it on tmo since yesterday. Solid signal, very stable so far. I ran speedtest this morning and got 56 up\26 down. The speed is crazy fast.
To get the Note 4 working on Verizon:
1. Change the APN setting.
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090
2. Change the network mode to Global in Mobile networks (same place where you set the APN)
3. Change the voice mail number.
-Open the Phone app, click on the 3 dot Menu button, go to Settings, select Call, select Voice Mail Setting, and change the number from *86 to 123.
-I use Google Voice, so I just switch mine to Google Voice.
4. If touch tone DTMF is not working for you, try to turn of noise reduction or change the DTMF from Short to Long.
5. To get rid of the annoying SIM message in the notification. Tap, hold the message and select App Info then force close it. Do this every time you reboot the phone.
Hi, noob question here, I am also using tmo network on a verizon note 4 but I can't seem to go online... I was told to changed the Network mode to GSM but still nothing. it also says the Signal strength is -67 dBm 23 asu. Any help would be great thanks!

You need to add T-Mobiles APN google it!
Good to know. I'll be taking this bad boy to Asia next month. Sounds like it'd be a no problem sticking a new sim card as long as I get the APN down ?

how to remove Verizon bloatware
I'm using the Verizon note 4 with the T Mobile SIM card and it works well, it connects to 4G LTE, but I cannot use mobile hotspot because its integrated with Verizon's services. All the APN settings are fine but it says mobile number not found.
Does anyone know how to remove all of the Verizon bloatware? Things such as the Playstore and settings even have Verizon bloat. Data Usage tool also does not work either.
Also to note, whenever i reboot the phone a permanent notification apoears saying something like, "Sim card is not Verizon," which can only be removed if you force close the activation agent. Its annoying that Verizon left its mark throughout parts of the phone.
Is it possible to make this a Regular galaxy note 4?
(Another weird thing is that the settings menu cannot be switched to carousel mode which the T-Mobile version can do.)
hi i tried my t-mobile sim in my verizon note 4 but lte is not working it only works on hspa
so what apn settings did u use can u pls tell me the apn settings for lte.

I think T-Mobile sims for lte should use
fast.t-mobile.com
also make sure you do have LTE in your area.
I did it on Galaxy S5 for someone and it was fine.

To get rid of that notification, press and hold it until the App Info window appears. Hit that window then you'll go to the Activation Agent app settings. Push "Force Close" and it will disappear.
Nice and easy but the only problem is that you have to do this every time you restart your phone.

Does your phone have a clean esn from verizon or is it considered a "bad esn" (lost phone)? Just curious if they work outside verizon with bad esn.

It depends if your market uses LTE band 4. Probably though.
Also, it looks like (once root is achieved) you'll be able to add more LTE bands.
Do we lose frequencies when we use a verizon phone on tmobile? Doesn't seem to have band 12.

Shouldn't be an issue since AT&T and T-Mobile primarily use band 4. The other bands are for additional bandwidth if there is congestion and T-Mobile uses band 12 in limited markets.
