Well if your APN settings are allright you either have no LTE coverage or it isn`t available at your provider. LTE should be activated automaticaly if available.

my APN setting is right and i am in LTE coverage (my galaxy s3 9305 has LTE/WCDMA/GSM mode and connect to LTE network) but it has not any LTE in setting and i cant connect to LTE
I update to G900FDXXU1ANH2 to resolve this problem but it doesnt resolved

Better contact your provider. Does the G900FD support your providers LTE band/frequency? I would check that first.

i think that i have to see LTE in networks if there is no sim card registered in the phone
am i right ?

That would be impossible as you cannot connect to the network without a simcard

I`am starting to think that the G900FD supports different LTE bands then the G900F because it is build for a different region. Its mainly sold in the far east as i can see so far. Better Google to find the specs and the phones supported LTE bands. You may not be able to get LTE with your device i`am afraid. Good luck mate.

you are right
i have to check frequency bands in my phone becuse i buy this phone from UAE and i dont know that LTE bands are the same as my operators lte frequency bands
You should see LTE on sim2 only. Not Sim 1 .

Similar problem with me, could anybody share some insight
Hi guys
I also had the issue of LTE not being selectable on my S5 Duos - here's my experiences.
Firstly I tried putting another carriers SIM into the phone, and noticed that LTE -was- selectable, but upon putting my own SIM back in, it again wasn't. HOWEVER - after putting my own SIM back in after using LTE on the other SIM, the phone automatically connected to LTE/4G even though WCDMA (auto) was selected! Very odd.
To permanently fix this here was my method -
My phone was shipped with ANF7 firmware, which was patched to overcome the kernel vulnerability Towelroot uses to gain root. I flashed my phone with ODIN back to ANF6 firmware, applied towelroot V3, then installed root browser and edited the system file data >property>persist.radio.lteon and changed the value from false to true, and rebooted the phone. LTE is now selectable!
:EDIT: Upgrading again to ANF7 broke the selection, but it still connected to LTE automatically... So odd.

Hi,
I had the same issue as yours. You can either fix it by a method explained here at XDA and it involves rooting the device. However I fixed my issue by flashing the latest firmware "G900FDXXU1ANJ2" for the month of November via Odin and now I can see the LTE/WCDMA/GSM option on sim 1. Hope this helps
Hello, today in my region officialy proceed 4G network, my sim card is ready to 4g, but in menu there is no option to choose 4g, only wcdma/2g showing, can you advice me what can i do? Thank you
P.S. my note 4 910C is unrooted

hi,
You have to contact you service provider and ask them to enable it for your sim/device. Only then should you see it in your options
.Also note it has nothing to do with root.
Take into account that service provider offers LTE/4G and your device is LTE capable and you are in a LTE/4G reception area etc etc
good luck
You might have n910h if u don't have the LTE option in networks or flash different firmware

No it's 910C
My provider told me after few day samsung gives us little update that gives in our country that option
Hey bro, go to settings/more networks/mobile networks/network mode... see if you have one option with LTE/WCDMA/GSM, if you don't have it, your device is probably a clone, because 910c has the 4G option, it doesn't depends of your SIM card or 4g on your region.

Not necessarily. It could be disabled within firmware. Couple years back I had lte ready Note 2. Only after tmobile network was ready for lte OTA update enabled lte option in settings.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
Hmm, i've never seen it before, search more about it.
I have a new SM-G935FD purchased in the UAE. The software version is MMB29K.G935FXXU1APD1. The phone has a "United Arab Emirates" section in the About page.
I travel a lot. I generally use a local SIM when I am in a country for some time. Right now I am in France. I am using a SIM from Bouygues Telecom but I have no 4G/LTE service at all. The phone is connecting at H+ and also at 3G, but it is not showing 4G/LTE at all.
I will be in several other European countries as well as the US soon. I specifically purchased this phone because it has all the LTE bands for the countries I spend time in. This same SIM does give me LTE connections on Bouygues when I use it in my old phone (a Motorola X 2nd Gen). I had expected this phone to just work on LTE everywhere that I typically go.
I have looked through these forums and see a thread or two about others with LTE problems. But no clear solutions.
I have tried various apps such as LTE Discovery (no luck) as well as 4G LTE Switcher - using that if I set "LTE only", I get no service at all, and then have to reboot the phone before I get service back.
Is there something I need to do to get LTE?
Thanks.
Have you put the SIM in the correct slot?

Yes, the bottom slot. The SDcard is in the top slot. The SIM is showing in the phone as "SIM1".
Strange. I have a G935FD and it works with LTE no problems. I've used it in Singapore and Indonesia, with different SIMs and all work.
In Settings - Mobile Networks - Network Mode, it's set to LTE/3G/2G?

Yes it is. I've tried changing to one of the non-LTE modes and back, but no change.
In the About device / Status / SIM Card status page, I see Mobile network type as UTMS. Shouldn't that have LTE and, if so, how do I change it?
Mine says the same, but I'm only connected to 3G at the moment, so I don't know if it's normal it not. I have a 4G card in, but I'm out of my area's 4G network range.
Edit: Actually I was connected to my wifi. Now I'm connected to my 3G and it says HSPA+ now
Edit again: Ok, so my phone is jumping between 3G and H+, which is what's changing.

Ah, mine is doing the same. I see Mobile network type jumping between UMTS and HSPA+ if I watch for a while. Obviously that field is a status field, not a setting field.
Thing is, I am in an area with full LTE coverage.
At least you seem to be confirming that this should work. Still need to figure out what the problem is.
I have the same Problem in Spain. With a Vodafone Card I dont have 4G Connection (The same card in a the Galaxy S5 of my wife works with 4G). But with a Yoigo Card I have 4G Connection. The software version is MMB29K.G935FXXU1BPH6. The phone has a "United Arab Emirates" section in the About page too. Any Idea?
Thanks
Hi there! My note fe can only get 3g. My model is n935k and I am a current an ATT user. I tried to force the phone to LTE only but when I did that, the phone was totally out of service. No network and no call service. I thought note fe LTE band will be worldwide, so is there any setting that I missed?

1. make sure your APN is ATT Nextgenphone (should have been auto-configured when you booted phone the first time) 2. Try reseting your network settings (this will remove bluetooth and wifi settings) settings->general management->reset->reset network settings and/or 3.Call ATT and make sure your account is (still) provisioned for LTE. i have the same model as you do and have no problem getting LTE service. picture below shows i'm connecting to LTE Bands 2, 4, 5 & 17.
I reset the network setting and still doesn't work. The apn is nextgenphone.

fellow note fe user in north america here.
no issue with lte. but @cortez.i what LTE log app is that? and also how did you customize your icons on the status bar?
LTE Discovery from the play store... Substratum theme for Samsung (Swift Dark) for icons.

And I have tried some app like force phone to switch to lte. After forcing the phone to lte, the phone signal is lost and become emergency call only.
I had the same exact problem and I'm also on AT&T. Restarting the phone fixed it, at least for now.

if you haven't done this already, consider trying another SIM. I'd also post screen shots of your configurations; could be something we've missed in our attempts to help you resolve your issues.
READ THE [UPDATE] DOWN BELOW
Many Note3 Korean Variant users also reported this case
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484602&page=115
The problem is that, I can't connect to LTE without losing my Network Radio Service Connection. I can connect to E/G/3G/H/H+ and still have network service, so I can still make calls and text messages, but when I turn on my Mobile Data, when it tries to connect to LTE, suddenly my service gets diconnected and I can't make phone calls nor messages though I could still use the data. I've already tried 3 LTE-Capable SIMS but the issue still happens.
What I had in mind is that it might be because it is Carrier Locked since it is a Korean Variant, but the problem still persists even after flasing other custom roms (this includes Note 7 Port ROMS, LineageOS, Stock-Based ROMS).
I love my Note 3, I will do anything to keep it alive, but still this one problem keeps bugging me...
Why can't I use both LTE data connection and radio service connection simultaneously?
Is anyone out there knowledge and willing enough to help us Note 3 KV users with this issue? :crying:
[UPDATE]
I get it now, when a phone is using LTE it means its not connected to any Mobile Network Service, instead it is connected to Data Network Service, yet it should receive Phone calls and Messages but it means that the phone will disconnect to LTE and switch to GSM/WCDMA (E/G/H/3G/H+) to be able to recieve the incoming call or message. I've tried that with my friends' phones, The first phone is connected to Data and is using LTE and the other phone is trying to call the first phone. The moment I call the first phone, I noticed that the LTE icon dropped to H and then recieve the call, It only happened because the option selected on the "Network Mode" (under Settings/More Networks/Mobile Networks-->Network Mode) is [LTE/WCDMA/GSM auto connect] so that's how it works
But that doesn't happen to my phone, after turning off the Mobile Data (I was connected to LTE btw) my phone doesn't automatically connect to GSM nor WCDMA network, it just stay on LTE mode and I have to manually select the GSM/WCDMA option in order to get Network Service.
So my final question is Why doesn't my Note 3 automatically switches Network Mode?
Note 3
Model Number: N900L
Status: Rooted with Custom Note 7 Port ROM
Condition: Good, No History of Repair
Current Network: SMART Prepaid

Please start to read about LTE technology and its frenquency bands.
Then find answers to these questions :
1- My SM-N900L is locked to use which frequency bands ?
2- Wich bands are in use in my actual location (country) ?
3- Is it possible to unlock more frequency bands for my N900L ?
i can provide more help if things remains not clear enough.
Good luck :good:

I tried searching the supported LTE bands of N900L but I can't find any sites that tell exactly what the N900L actually supports though I found out on this forum
https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/AZzWA/samsung-sm-n900s-galaxy-note-3-lte-a
1) A / P / T / V models are made exclusively for the US operator market and for no other people, as their indexes hint (A-AT & T / P-SPRINT / T-MOBILE / V-VERIZON). In Europe, mainly international versions are used - in the case of NOTE 3 - exclusively N9005, in Canada - its own carrier versions.
2) The models N900S / N900K / N900L are identical in the set of supported frequencies. If you rewind the topic on page 9, you will see screenshots of one of these models, which show the frequencies you are using, in one of the screens you will see the treasured frequency of LTE b7. I think that users of this topic can be trusted with respect to information in the topic, but no one has elected you the right to believe solely on the site www.frequencycheck.com.

I did try checking my phone on www.frequencycheck.com, N900L is not on the list..
https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/AZzWA/samsung-sm-n900s-galaxy-note-3-lte-a
N900S though shows that it supports Bands 3, 5, and 17.
I also look it up on wikipedia on where the SMART network (my current network) falls on the list of LTE frequency bands, and it shows that it is on Band 05 alongside with South Korean Networks LGU+ and SKT. The supported LTE bands on my country are Band 1, 3, 5, 7, 28 and 41
https://www.frequencycheck.com/countries/philippines
I searched for how to unlock all LTE frequency bands on N900L or Korean Variants or Note 3 but the only option that shows up is by accessing the Service Menu on Stock ROM and manually changing the values, which still didn't work for me.
According to my search, N900L is locked to :
LTE protocol : B1 (2100) and B5 (850)
LTE-A protocol : B3 (1800) and B7 (2600)
Now try to find the specific frequency band used by your carrier (he can't use all of the six available bands in Philippines), and activate it.
Wich stock firmware do you use when trying to access Service Mode ? It must be the LGU+ one.
And what code did you dial for the same purpose ?

When you said activate, you mean select the band to be used by the phone right?
- Yes, I used the LGU+ Lollipop Stock ROM
- I typed in the dialpad, *#0011# and changed the network preference to LTE ONLY.
