[Q] s4 GT-I9505 missing DC-HSDPA/LTE

Hello guys,So im with three.uk they dont do LTE yet but they r about to roll it out very soon however they do DC-HSDPA and im in area where i should be getting it sadly im not getting it for some reason top of the screen shows only H+(mostly) sometimes H and 3G. If i go to connections->More Networks-> Mobile Networks -> Network mode i only get WCDMA/GSM(auto connect) or WCDMA only so this is what i get. I was reading that there is some problem with s4's shipped from korea and people advice to flash to unbranded stock well one was australian so i even flashed to australian firmware even to getman firmware so far no luck no lte in options not detecting DC-HSDPA just after flashing to getman/australian firmware i got an extra option in network mode and it is gsm only plus the other two i said before. So my question is how i could get this DC-HSDPA working and what indicator top of the screen will show instead of h+ will it show DC ? i was trying to find answers but no luck so far please help me outKind rengards Martin

Hi,
H+ will still display on your signal strength indicator, as DC-HSDPA is just a variant of the HSPA network system. to force the internet to always connect to a higher speed network set it to WCDMA Only.
There is no DC-HSDPA or HSDPA in the network selection, it is tied to the WCDMA system.

I've tried many apps to find out if im on threes dc-hspa network to no avail. But I now know how by typing *#0011# into keypad and it displays the network mode including dc-hspa

Root Explorer (or another), and go to data/property.
select persist.radio.lteon , edit it with a text editor and change the value from false to true.
Save changes, reboot and enjoy
bye to all.

I can't answer your question because there's no 4G signal where i live , sorry ....
it was only the solution for who has this problem:
If i go to connections->More Networks-> Mobile Networks -> Network mode i only get WCDMA/GSM(auto connect) or WCDMA only so this is what i get.

This isn't about 4G? It's about DC-HSDPA.

N900S GPRS EDGE Problem

Hi guys,
I just bought a Note 3 (N900S SK Telecom) from Korea which will be used by me in India. I have observed that I get a G icon when i am in 2G mode which should be generally as E (EDGE). The speeds in G are drastically low when compared to E and i get about 2 KB/Sec browsing speed which is absolutely horrendous. Now when i have 3G Reception, i get a maximum of 3 mbps whereas i used to get 7.2 mbps constant in my Note 2. I also get a 3G icon in the top instead of H or H+.
Is there any possible to way to get EDGE and H or H+ speeds in my N900S ?? WIll changing of modems or flashing any other ROM will help?

Anybody knows how to sort out this problem?

Do you use the same SIM and in the same location as when you used your Note 2?
I don't think it's the problem with modem. Most likely it is the problem of the mobile network.
Please follow these steps and show the screenshot: open Dialer, enter *#0011#, Menu, Back menu item, Menu, Key Input, enter Q0 and wait for some seconds...
Then select DEBUG SCREEN > NAS INFORMATION > GMM REJECT CAUSE. Capture screenshot and post it here.
And also check the FIRMWARE INFO section in the Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app.

Here you go. I use Local Network of India and it is not a network issue as my other phones gives a EDGE network support

So if that phone has an unlocked bootloader and all those, why not just flash a different ROM? The latest Hong Kong one for example? Damn that screenshot has hard coded Korean language written!
Damn ignore my comment, didn't notice the model number is N900S!

Looks like all info are normal. Should be a network issue. Or please check your APN settings and make sure all parameters are correct?

I've used Korean S2, S3 and all had same problems. Korean S2 was able to convert to International S2 and that gave me EDGE Connection whereas there was no work around for S3 and now Note 3. Can this phone be installed with some other modem which will give me EDGE?
will n9005 roms be compatible?

AFAIK there are several custom roms for N900S. You can google it.

4G not connecting

Hi,
i experience a problem on note 4 where despite LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect) is selected, the phone reports only H+ instead of 4G. is there any suggestion on how to make it connect to 4G?
some hints:
- the phone is running stock rom , not rooted.
- no issue with 4G coverage. other phones in the same area are registered on 4G network just fine.
- same carrier between phones.
waiting for your input and thank you for your time.
Thnx

Your SIM card is already a 4G SIM Card?
My phone could get a 4G in the 4G area, but I don't have the option LTE/WCDMA/GSM (Auto Connect).
But in a non 4G area.. it changes to H+

S4 GT-I9505 Only GSM Problem [SOLVED]

Hi
I have S4 9505 and it only connects to gsm 900 band which is EDGE in my country. I'v searched but i came up with nothing so thats why I'm asking here if any1 knows how to fix this phone to register on 1800 or 1900 LTE bands. Im pretty sure that it has to do with the modem. Is there any way to force the phone to register 1900 band through service mode *#0011#?
Thanks

If it is the modem why don't you change it?

Open the dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*
Go to phone information and tab the menu button or the 3 dots.
Go to select radio band and try switching bands.

Did it ever work on LTE? It might be that your SIM isn't LTE capable or that your provider has yet to enable it for your number/contract. This happened to me too when I got the phone and wondered why LTE wouldn't work. Try asking them about this.
Also, I'm not on stock anymore but I think there might be a setting for network preference somewhere, something akin to limiting data only to EDGE/H+.

Found the SOLUTION at last http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/help/i9505-doesnt-3g-t2998527/page2
Somehow this worked like a charm

4G network not available in Switzerland

Hello everyone,
I just bought a mi A1 but unfortunately the 4G network didn't appear in the list of available networks anymore. I checked the settings and 4G is the preferred network type. Also, I have LTE/UMTS (auto) as preferred network type in phone info. I tried several options with no luck.
Any help would be very appreciated, thanks!

I put LTE/CDMA/UMTS (auto)(PRL)
LTE it's the same as 4G

According to https://willmyphonework.net/ should 4G/LTE work on Your network.
