S5 SM-G906L network settings - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone ..
I've bought lately S5 (SM-G906L) the Korean version because of the perfect specification that it has ..
i had an S4 before it and i was used to see the H+ icon when i use the data network on it but after i bought the s5 its always 3G .
i tried to change the settings in my phone but never could and i live in Turkey btw so thats mean there is no 4G network here ..
can anyone help to change it to H+ cause i read that its faster and better than the normal 3G network or at least its enough to me to learn the reason of all of that
and also there is another problem I've just discovered which is i cant use the video call from this device whereas i could use it from my sim card on my friend's phone Note 4

Changing the icon won't give you better or faster data, silly.
H+ = 3G+. That's it. It's probably showing you a 3G icon (it's the same thing lol) while actually using H+ since it's a korean phone. Check with your operator what speeds they have for H+/3G+ and do a speedtest to see if you're on H+ or not.

And what about video calls ? Do u have any idea ?

[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.

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.

have problem after open line
Hi is anybody here in Philippines who have the same issue with me.

it was then opened to my globe line but my problem is i barely get an H or H+ data connection,
when i went back to the technician and asked the problem i got after they open it, he said its normal..
am i getting the right answer it is normal to have it for opening other network line? thx.

[Q] Network isue.

Hy friends, I have note 3 n9005. I have isue with network. When I try to choose network mode i have option WCDMA/GMS, just WCDMA and just GSM. No LTE options, but my operetor Telenor Serbia dosnt suport LTE network. No big deal about that.. Problem is when I choose WCDMA/GMS (auto mode) my network is weak. I have some friend and they also have note 3 ,on same network and same isue. They sad me every note 3 have same problem in our town. Problem is in my house, or every place where signal is a little bit weaker I cant sedn message, or cant receive call.. I am not available in that moment. That friend reccomend me to choose just GSM and problem is solved. When I choose GSM mode signal is normal, like on my s2 plus, my old phone, on same network and same number and sim card. But if I choose GSM internet is to slow and I can use just for whats up, to send and recieve text messages. Nothing more.. What you think is this a problem with Operator in our town, Bad signal? Or something other ? On many phones before Note 3 I had not that network isue. Before Note 3 I was galaxy s2 plus, xperia pro, samsung wave. With no isue.. I am on stock 4.2.2 NA6, rooted. Thnx !

Baby 3G signals are always weaker than 2G signals. Everybody has the problem. I am from India and I also face the same issues on my Note 3 SM 900 4.4.2.

Try to flash Orange fr baseband.
Does your phone connect in 2G, 3G or 4G network? What icon do you have above signal bar when you turn on data, 2G, 3G or 4G ?

Have you tried making speedtest on your phone ? Using speedtest app from Ookla, try it and see how much of ping you getting.
Also I don't think flashing a diffrent firmware would do anything. I would rather tried changing the simcard and see if that helps.

Yes I did. Nothing wrong. when i did it says 6,9 Mbps. Bu i connect like 64 kbps
This might seem like a dumb question, but do you have a metal case on it? I have the LOVE Mei on mine and it completely kills NFC and slows down wifi (havent tested cell connection myself). Even a crappy knockoff aluminium/plastic case renders NFC useless for me.
Also, are you rooted and do you have something that intercepts the connection installed, like AdBlock?
İ have same issue on turkey -turkcell. Connection drops between hspda and edge. İ flashed orange fr rom, and my issue solved. Orange fr have hspda-3g-edge, so connection not drop, it becomes 3g between them. sorry for my bad english, it is only solution for this problem

Can't receive calls randomly

Recently my s7 edge appears turned off when people try to call me. Then after a while i get the text saying someone tried to call me but the phone was off (but it was actually on). No problem making calls. It's not that you can represent it, it is totally random and not too frequent but enough to annoy me.

Does anybody know if this is a hardware problem? a bug ,or is it the carriers fault :fingers-crossed:

This used to happen to me too, i think it was because of carrier and coverage, especially when 4G signal is low.
What i found helpful is keeping my device on 2G only when on Wi-Fi or don't need high speed cellular data.
I use this app to have a shortcut of 2G/3G/4G switch in notification panel, makes switching between 2G and 4G easier.

thanks for your input.
Thing is i NEVER use mobile data, it is off all the time and the apn list is empty (no profiles), i only connect using wifi. Does that still have an effect ?
I hope it is a coverage problem

It doesn't matter if you never use data, device can still connect to 3G or 4G (though in some cases an APN may be needed to connect to 4G, that depends on carrier). In your case, since you never use cellular data, you can safely set your device to 2G only. With 2G you will have better signal for sure, and it's less likely to have missed incoming calls.

I've had the same problem with a Galaxy J7 2015 also bought in the UAE.
Again not too often but enough to be annoying. I found that selecting 2G/3G without LTE improved the situation.
