Hi,
I am using Galaxy Note4 smn910c with carrier Simple Mobile. Status bar never shows $G LTE rather it only shows 4G.
My phone is LTE capable. ANy idea why is it not showing LTE on status bar. I have tried with t-mbile sim also and same thing happends. No LTE.
Please suggest.
Any one ? Please suggest.
910C is not LTE for USA, no ?
its for asia / korea.
It is lte calable as per the specification. It supports most of the lte bands.

My note 3 with uae ROM was showing 4g in status bar, when I flashed Poland ROM it starts showing lte, means it's a region specific, some shows lte some 4g.

What is the work around then? Any way I can have LTE reflected in the status bar
why do you care ? youre getting the speed anyway regardless of what is shown in the bar.

For note 3 i know Poland xeo was showing lte, note 4 i don't know, you need to keep flashing one after another rom of diffrent countries till you get lte.

Buddy, LTE and 4G is the same! 4th generation mobile network. If you've rooted your phone it's easy, just install gravity box and switch to LTE icon, done. It's just the icon, if it shows 4G your're connected to a LTE network!
Comprehensive list of ROMs for N910C?
Does anyone know of a site or thread that lists all of the available ROMs for the SM-N910C? The Phone INFO Samsung app shows it has a UAE ROM, but the default language on first boot is UK English. I'm having the same weird issues with the connectivity icon, and it would be nice to try some different regional firmwares.

Hi, I bought my note 3 in UAE and I am using it in the UK. I am on Vodafone. I always get rubbish signal in my house. It is on "emergency calls only" nearly all the time. Also the LTE/4G has NEVER worked since I got it on launch (Sep). Whenever I turn the 4G on the H+ sign never comes up. Some people may argue that Vodafone is a rubbish network. I agree too but I think I may need to flash a different modem? My model is a SM-9005. Do I need to flash a different modem to get the 4G to work? Thanks

You can actually try a different ROM or maybe a custom ROM? At the same time, reception might just be poor in your house. So you might need to make do with regular 3G or EDGE. I no for a fact that in my friend's house i ALWAYS have to switch to 2G because 3G reception is never available, I have SM-N900 tho.

what if i flash a different rom/modem?
I just checked and vodafone operates 4G/LTE at 800MHz. On the samsung uae website it says that the note 3 supports 800MHz 4G/LTE
ROM's won't make a difference as it's the hardware on the device itself.
I also noticed the note 3 doesnt have a superb signal reception... For example in my house my moms s3 and dads s4 have full bars where i on my note have one bar less than they do. Little dissapointed

Check phone status in settings and compare it with the S3 and S4 - you'll see it's just the bar's that show different the dBm's are what counts. You'll see it'll be identical to the S3/4

The device itself has the bands. But you cannot access them by changing the modem. The N9005 supports many many bands but different MPN Codes on each device limit it to specific countries.
It's all a legal thing. Radio frequencies are controlled, unless the UAE version supports the exact same frequency that your UK carrier runs on it won't work. Upgrade to kitkat and test it.

When I was out earlier I downloaded the 4g app of the play store selected lte option only and 4g was then on my screen, I'm in the uk by the way three network, so I then deleted the app and still 4g was present but when I go to network settings on the phone which only had the the 3G 2g option I still have 4g until I lose the signal back to h+ ,So is there is no 4g in south east Asia just wondered why there is no 4g option?

I had same problem. Cannot be fixed even if you use the magic menu 3845#*855#. The Singapore firmware will not give the LTE option for mobile settings. You'll need to return your G3 and get a Euro model. EBay sellers are aware of this issue with Asian G3s.

EBay rules allow returns if seller claimed it works on UK LTE network and does not. If you need to keep it then you'll just have to keep running the LTE selection app you have after reboots.

Yeah... I don't get it... I bought my phone from ebay and no seller there has mentioned anything about the different software versions. I still don't have 4g in my country so I have no idea if it will work in this software... SAE, BTW. And by then it will be to late to contact my seller :s

I bought my G3 in Indonesia so its an SEA version. I have no 4G option here in Indonesia (where there is no 4G), but if I pop in a Smart Philippines SIM card (they do have 4G), the 4G option does appear. I've tested the 4G in the Philippines and it works fine.
The key is a SIM card which is provisioned for 4G. You won't see 4G as an option unless the SIM is provisioned for it, even if you're currently connected via 3G to a network operator which has a 4G network.

Not the issue here in the UK. I had a SEA firmware device and tried three different 4G SIM cards and no LTE optoon was available. The device is region locked somehow.

That theory doesn't hold because people (including me) can manually toggle to 4g. The setting is just lost in the next reboot.
If you root and get rid of the LTEConfig it will stay permanant...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54621213&postcount=26so not a SIM or hardware issue...
I have an sea version and I'm in uk. Lte works fine. Just delete ltesettings.apk
YOu have 2 options....
1- Root it with pourple drake and delete the lte apk and the odex file, restart the phone and check again.
2- Install one of the latest GLOBAL roms from LG, J version and N version are globals...this will give you the option of LTE, if it does not come up, repeat step one and you are good to go.
I currently use a D855 SEA version in Costa Rica, and LTE works perfectly...network speed is around 8Mbps average, sometimes I can reach 15-16...

Hi,
Wondered if you can help....just got the LG G3 which was meant to be a euro version but is SEA (V10K-SEA-XX) and I'm new to anmdroid having just moved from iPhone so forgive my stupidness........do I need to root to be able to delete that file....and if not how do I do it?
thanks for any help.
Rob
Yeah you need to root your phone. I think purple drake is best for this at the moment but try stump root first as it is easier (just download the apk). If you don't wish to root, try installing the app (ltesettings) as that *could* work.
I would advise flashing twrp with bump and then a custom lollipop rom as it is much better than KK on G3.
PM me if you want more info.

I have a V10L-EUR-XX firmware and I've tried removing the lteconfig.apk and lteconfig.odex however restarting or going into the network menu continues to reset the phone back to 3G. The hidden menu does allow me to switch to 4G, but as known this is only temporary.
Has anyone else experienced this and been able to fix the issue permanently? I'd rather not flash another firmware, but I will if it's the only option left.
So I recently bought a fully unlocked D801 G2, though I did not know it is a Claro model from Puerto Rico. I just assumed all D801 models are fully compatible with T-Mobile. Before updating to 4.4, LTE with my T-Mobile SIM was working just fine in 4.2. After updating to 4.4, I am only getting HSPA+. Is this because it is a Claro model? But what would explain LTE working in 4.2 but not 4.4? This is a completely new phone and unrooted. This is my first Android phone, so I am still getting the hang of things and hope I didn't buy the wrong model.

I know that, but what I meant is that despite getting signal I was not getting any functional data (the arrows that should have been there were not).
But I ended up fixing the issue by finding the default T-Mobile ROM somewhere, and flashing it onto the G2 instead of the Claro ROM which obviously blocked T-Mobile bands... I now have my phone running CloudyG3 with LTE working perfectly fine, but thanks for everyone's help.

I wouldn't be so sure. Check the band it supports for 4G. Usually Indian and Canadian carriers use different bands, so a 4G device capable in India might not work with 4G of Canadian carrier. Other than that, phone should work without a problem. If the 4G spectrum is not supported, your data would be limited to 3G.
Check what all bands are supported in your model, you can see it here I guess. Also, check here for the LTE spectrum used by different carriers in different countries.
Hope that helps!

Try pressing *#*#4636#*#*
Once you're at the Test Menu, select Device Information-> Set preferred Network Type -> LTE/GSM auto (PRL). This is how I change my network type on AT&T. If your network/device is compatible with LTE, you should see LTE symbol below 4G symbol on notification bar.

In my AT&T model, it works. And I believe it should work just fine for any other model as well as long as its S6 Edge+. Not really sure why it's not working for you. You just need to press #*#*4636*#*# quickly in the native dialer and that should open up the menu. You do not even need to click on dial button to make a call. You can search for your carrier specific model's service menu codes in google.

Hai. I read reviews said Nexus 6p has lte-a. But I only got lte full bar. I thought the problem is the telco provider. but when I changed my sim to my wife phone (samsung s6), it has lte-a. Btw I'm using 8.1 and rooted. Is there anyways to make it connected to lte-a?
Sorry english is not my 1st language. Hope you understand. Thanks for any advice.

Make sure, that APN are exactly the same like in a phone, that for sure connects to LTE+
Install LTE discovery app and check if LTE band agregation is working
