Hi...
I have Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE which is international version (GT-i9505), my device going mad that just have EDGE connection. I live in Indonesia which dont have LTE access. but my phone can catch any 3G/HSDPA/HSPA network just stuck on EDGE. im also use XL AXIATA provider that provide HSDPA on Band 2100MHZ, i have read all specification of my phone that its have possibilities to access UMTS/HSDPA network. but its nothing with me. i also have other LTE device which is Galaxy Note 4G LTE Korean version. it has HSDPA network and little similar network properties with my S4.
how to make my s4 can access 3G network ???? please help n sorry for my bad english
thanks
Hello ,
I bought a SM900F from UK a while ago and it was unlocked. I was capable of using 4G network there easily with no problems, but recently I have come to Dubai and am not able to hop on the 4G network . I have checked all the settings and made sure I had the 4G sim/ 4G data bundle and so on , but still same problem.
As per Wiki : Etisalat United Arab Emirates 1800 3 FDD September 2011 [500]
Etisalat United Arab Emirates 2600 7 FDD September 2011 [520]
My operator provides 4G on 1800 and 2600 Frequencies which are supported by SM900F. Just to clarify , this unit had never been locked .
So now im sitting here confused on what I need to do to get my 4G working , Im always connected to H and H+ .
Thanks in Advance ,
Nylem
Try to ask operator to give you his APN settings!
Settings - more networks - mobile networks - ap
Thanks for the reply ,
I have done that but still no hope

Your phone should support those LTE bands.
Confirm that the band /frequency information isn't outdated.
Are you in an area where the carrier doesn't have LTE coverage?
Open a support ticket to investigate if the carrier has provisioned your account /SIM correctly for LTE.
Look at the various online forums and find out if others are getting LTE in your location.
Set what the LTE signal strength is in the S5 service menu.
Set a preference for LTE in the service menu.
Possibly you are getting 4G, bit the onscreen icon is just incorrect?
Try updating or changing your 900F modem.

Thanks for the swift response mate ,
1) Band/Frequency are all compatible with the phone
2) The whole city is LTE covered ( specially mine that I live in the center ) .
3) Already working on a ticket with the carrier , but they say problem is from my side
1) I set the LTE Signal , Lost all connection
2) I put bearer as LTE , Lost all connection
3) Could be a possibility
Can you kindly forward me or show me the path to where I can change my 900F modem to a more international one , Thanks a bunch !

Something is probably misconfigured or misprovisioned. But regardless, the issue will only be solved by paying attention to details and a process of elimination (of the possible causes).
The most productive single thing that you could do at this point would be to borrow a known working LTE SIM from a neighbour and see if works in your handset. Whatever the result, it would narrow down the possible culprits.
Also, don't assume that the frequencies are correct. Confirm with the carrier that they haven't changed or added new LTE bands.
Make the effort to find out what forums your carriers' customers usually frequent and look at recent posts there for seredipitious insights that you won't find elsewhere.
Don't dismiss the icon idea out of hand. Are your speeds indicative of an LTE connection?
You don't need a more "international" modem. Just a more current 900F one. Or less commonly, an alternate or older modem if your current one has a bug. Do a forum search for threads about changing modems. There are a lot of them. Don't fixate on this - it's one of the least likely possibilities.
Also consider updating to Android 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 which is said to address some connectivity bugs.

Have you tried to change nertwork mode to WCDMA only or GSM...or both WCDMA and GSM...????
Hi bro I am from Pakistan too so I research on it (couz I got 4g phone as well) I tried zong and didn't received signal so what I found is that these networks are on limited bands to work u need both phone and network to be same frequency supported to work 4g (and don't ask me how to do it couz I don't know either) try using warid (if possible) 4g it probably gonna work (not sure) or maybe you are not in 4g coverage area....
hello to all friends and great android masters. i am form pakistan i have a really annoying problem with my S5 it is g900s SK TELECOM korean variant. i bought it second hand. every thing is working great but it cant connect to 3g network its always connects with GPRS and shows G indicator in status bar. internet speed is really very slow on GPRS. here in pakistan the services providers provide 3G at frequency of 2100. so i think this phone is not compatible with this frequency ( correct me if i am wrong). if so than please please tell me is there any solution available for this problem????? can i fix it? can i force my phone to connect with this frequency??? any other solution please i am really upset please help me friends. i also tried to install custom rom but its still the same. when i select WCDMA in settings it drops the signals. i am a poor guy i can not aford another phone so please guys i request u to tell me a solution if there is one available:crying:
