Hello,
I recently bought a N9005 Note3 and got it unlocked from a store. Now when i came back to my home country i noticed t does not work on 2G network, it works fine on 3/4G but it wont work on 2G.
What could be wrong here? would flashing a GSM modem via Odin help?
Thanks
@huseinraj I think it hasnt been unlocked properly

That's what i thought too from reading here and there, and it looks like the Fix 2G, reboot, fix 3G,reboot using SPT seems to be the only way to fix it, however i dont have a SPT box and local shops here are charging over $100 to do the unlock so i wanted to see if there was any other way to fix this problem...

Hey guys,
Wasn't sure where to post this, so I just put it here.
I was gifted a fake Galaxy S4 (a 1:1 copy) for Christmas. I was overseas so I could not test whether the SIM card worked. Upon return to Hong Kong where I live, I put my SIM card (my provider is 3 HK) , originally from my (real) Samsung S3 LTE into the fake S4. I managed to get a signal, and I was able to call someone, but my 3G internet does not work. I have tried toggling the GSM and WCDMA settings, and setting different APNs, but to no avail. Anyone know why this could be happening?
I also experienced a similar thing like this when I put the same sim card into an iPhone 4, where I could only call, but not use the internet. Something is telling me it may be that because I use LTE 4G on my SGS3, and because the fake phone does not support 4G it does not work.
I hope someone has had similar issues and is able to find a workaround. My fake S4 is rooted with CWM recovery and has a MTK MT 6589 processor.
Thanks

XDA dont support fake clone phones. Sorry
Does the iPhone not have LTE either? It may be a carrier thing. They should be able to fix your account.

Hi All, I have an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505. The mobile provider here in ireland,will be releasing 4g. When I check the network settings, I do not see any reference to lte as an option. Looking on the internet, it seems I may have a hong kong version and they used a rom that did not have lte in it.
My queries are:
1. Will the lte option work on this phone, even though there is no option in the network settings menu?
2. Is there a way of getting this lte to show up in the network section?
3. I have seen a few answers referring to the service menu and here you can supposedly add in the missing lte. I did try and follow it,but nothing happened.
I am not very phone technical. Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

Post more info about the phone.

I am not sure what other information you are looking for. It is a Samsung Galaxy S4, I9505 with 16gb. It is 3g/4g capable. When I go into network settings, I do not see the lte option. I have looked on the web, and it seems that this is an issue with these phones sourced from Hong Kong.
i have no options for it either, and i have 4G
That is the problem with xda.People give 10% of the info, and someone like me is expected to guess the rest.
You should be putting down exact phone model, firmware, sim provider, country, phones csc/country of origin.
All I know about hong kong is that is where you get all that cheapo copyright infringement crap stuff.
You could possibly flash a stock rom for your country/carrier, or see if theres a secret menu to get it.
As you suspect, there should be the 4g/3g/2g option like I have on my uk 19505.

I am in dublin,ireland and three, Mobile company, has lauched 4g. I bought my i9505 last june. I cannot access 4g. When I go to look at network settings, 4g lte is not listed. When I ordered the phone sim free, it must have been sourced from hong kong. This is a known issue on the web
The phone is running android 4.3, with a bsseband of i9505zhuemk2.
If i flash my phone with kit kat, as i have seen on this forum, will it give me the option for 4g? I have factory restored the phone but with no luck. If i follow the instructions to flash my phone, using o
din, is it usually straightforward ? i am a bit of a newbie with smart phones, so any help is appreciated. Mark
If it was me Id flash BTU 4.3.See user "repulsa" posts as he put up a mega link to download that file quick, opposed to it taking 8 hours from sammobile.
Read a tutorial about using odin first.
I suppose you could even use the 4.3 three rom if you want....
SAmsung Galaxy S4 I9505 still missing LTE Option
Hi,
I have flashed the 4.3 android btu onto the phone, as suggested and it has gotten rid of some of the apps. It was working fine until it would suddenly reboot. I have just factory reset the phone to see if this solves the problem. But the lte 4g option is still not showing in the network setting section. The area I am in cannot access three's 4g signal yet. Does the 4g option in network settings, only show up when you get a 4g signal? or should it be there regardless.
Will upgrading to kitkat fix this issue? I believe samsung will be releasing this version in the next few weeks. If it does, do you think that when I update the os, will make this 4g/lte option appear?
Also is there a link that I could flash to get kitkat that won't invalidate the warranty? TIA MArk

I also don't get the 4G LTE option on 3 UK but the option appears when I put an EE SIM card in. I think it's because 3 hasn't yet activated 4G on your SIM. They should activate it within the next month or so.
Edit: I have just checked the 3 website and it says a software update is required for 4G to work so upgrading to KitKat might fix it.

Hi guys
I'm new here and kinda stuck with this annoying problem.
I bought an S5 SM-G900F from Dubai (UAE) last year and it worked fine there- used LTE services and all. However, I recently came back to Pakistan where a network called ZONG launched LTE services a few months ago. Thing is... I don't get the option to select LTE in network mode. It just isn't there.
All I can see is:
WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)
WCDMA only
GSM only
I'm on stock ROM, btw
G900FXXU1ANG2
Android Kitkat 4.4.2
Someone I know purchased a SM-G900D from Dubai which is a dual SIM S5 and he gets another option: LTE/WCDMA/GMS (auto connect)
So I'm in a fix and I desperately need to get my LTE working. I called the UAE Samsung helpline and they said that apparently LTE only works in the country you purchased the phone from, which I thought was just silly.
I don't want to root my phone- the camera module has been changed once under warranty and I don't want to risk anything. Also, I did try to access the Service mode of the pone but all the settings just bamboozled me. Fiddled with quite a few, but still could not manage to get the LTE option
Any help?
Thanks
Farhan
UPDATE - 25/10/16 - Gave phone to Samsung Service center and they have updated me today that they found the radio is corrupted possibly so they have asked Samsung to give them a confirmation to proceed with Radio firmware reloading which includes IMEI re-coding. There's a chance of even them getting the device bricked of course but lets see what happens.
Hello all,
I have SM-N910G with latest stock rom (N910GDTS1DPI1).
Was using this phone on Reliance Jio VOLTE since end July and had set network more to LTE only (sicne RJio only has 4g LTE coverage).
Last thursday morning I noticed the phone is not registered on network and on trying to troubleshoot further by switching to a different (Vodafone) SIM, realized that the phone is only able to register on GSM (2G) networks and Edge data works too.
Have tried factory reset (and reloading of stock ROM thru ODIN including NAND erase using PIT files too) to check if I can get the phone to work on 3g/4g but no use. Seems like this is hardware issue (radio gone faulty?).
The phone is 18 months old so out of standard warranty hence I'm not much hopeful that Samsung Service center will be of any help. Before I take this there, just wanted to check if anyone else faced such issue before and have managed to sort the same out.
Cheers and thanks in advance.

Thanks but it's not an apn issue. The phone doesn't simply register on any 3g or 4g networks. Hence the thought that it's hardware issue.

Please if you get any solution do post here

What do you mean by not getting Volte on any SIM? It's only for Reliance Jio. For other service providers, you need to get a 4G SIM before you can use 4G.
My phone is now dead bricked and beyond repairs as confirmed by Samsung service center. I'm not spending 15k for motherboard change.
4g
I have idea 4g sim but when I insert it
My note 4 doesn't shows it it says no sim card
Insert sim when I put Jio sim I get no service/ Jio 4g
Emergency calls only signal when I tried bsnl 3g
& Tata Docomo 3g sims both sims getting network
Signal & I can call also but when I tried to connect to internet by using these 3g sims my mobile connects and switchs off suddenly I have to pull out battery or connect to charger to start the mobile
This is my problem

That's weird indeed. Have you ever tried any custom Roms or rooting because of which your Knox status would have tripped? In any case it's worth taking the phone to nearest samsung service center. They charge just 200 bucks to inspect the issue and another 200 to reload the software if needed. But in my case it was hardware fault so they couldn't do anything.

I haven't tried rooting yet and by the help of
A local mechanic who is a good friend of mine
And has a free entrance in local care center
We both went there and the care center gay
Tried to flash the mobile but no success now he says
That we should officially send the mobile to
The care center in a bigger city or like Mumbai
Where there are experts to tackle such weird problem

All the best mate. Just remember that they will ask you to sign up for Dead Brick risk which means you're OK if device goes dead during software flashing. The only way to get device working again is to replace motherboard which costs around 15k.
