[Q] No data access

So I gave my girl friend my old HTC HD2 swapping out her old Blackberry. For some reason however she is not getting any data service (she is on T-Mobile). Talk and texts work fine but for some reason all we see is "H+" where it should say 3g. Currently she is running CyanogenMod-7-04052011 from TyphooN v3.0.0. Build # GRI40. We called Tmobile and they switched her service plan from the Blackberry service to android. and it worked for about 2-3 hours but now its back to "H+" with no data at all.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? I havent tried to update her to the newest version. But i know the phone worked fine because i used it with my AT&T sim card and it worked fine.
Help would be greatly appreciated!

H+ is good. Its faster then 3g. Make sure the apn settings are right.
Settings/wireless and network / mobile networks, access point names/press menu to add, fill in info, press menu after and save. Then tick the box and your set.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S4 no lte/4g option

Hi All, I have an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505. The mobile provider here in ireland,will be releasing 4g. When I check the network settings, I do not see any reference to lte as an option. Looking on the internet, it seems I may have a hong kong version and they used a rom that did not have lte in it.
My queries are:
1. Will the lte option work on this phone, even though there is no option in the network settings menu?
2. Is there a way of getting this lte to show up in the network section?
3. I have seen a few answers referring to the service menu and here you can supposedly add in the missing lte. I did try and follow it,but nothing happened.
I am not very phone technical. Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

Post more info about the phone.

I am not sure what other information you are looking for. It is a Samsung Galaxy S4, I9505 with 16gb. It is 3g/4g capable. When I go into network settings, I do not see the lte option. I have looked on the web, and it seems that this is an issue with these phones sourced from Hong Kong.

i have no options for it either, and i have 4G

That is the problem with xda.People give 10% of the info, and someone like me is expected to guess the rest.
You should be putting down exact phone model, firmware, sim provider, country, phones csc/country of origin.
All I know about hong kong is that is where you get all that cheapo copyright infringement crap stuff.
You could possibly flash a stock rom for your country/carrier, or see if theres a secret menu to get it.
As you suspect, there should be the 4g/3g/2g option like I have on my uk 19505.

I am in dublin,ireland and three, Mobile company, has lauched 4g. I bought my i9505 last june. I cannot access 4g. When I go to look at network settings, 4g lte is not listed. When I ordered the phone sim free, it must have been sourced from hong kong. This is a known issue on the web
The phone is running android 4.3, with a bsseband of i9505zhuemk2.
If i flash my phone with kit kat, as i have seen on this forum, will it give me the option for 4g? I have factory restored the phone but with no luck. If i follow the instructions to flash my phone, using o
din, is it usually straightforward ? i am a bit of a newbie with smart phones, so any help is appreciated. Mark

If it was me Id flash BTU 4.3.See user "repulsa" posts as he put up a mega link to download that file quick, opposed to it taking 8 hours from sammobile.
Read a tutorial about using odin first.
I suppose you could even use the 4.3 three rom if you want....

SAmsung Galaxy S4 I9505 still missing LTE Option
Hi,
I have flashed the 4.3 android btu onto the phone, as suggested and it has gotten rid of some of the apps. It was working fine until it would suddenly reboot. I have just factory reset the phone to see if this solves the problem. But the lte 4g option is still not showing in the network setting section. The area I am in cannot access three's 4g signal yet. Does the 4g option in network settings, only show up when you get a 4g signal? or should it be there regardless.
Will upgrading to kitkat fix this issue? I believe samsung will be releasing this version in the next few weeks. If it does, do you think that when I update the os, will make this 4g/lte option appear?
Also is there a link that I could flash to get kitkat that won't invalidate the warranty? TIA MArk

I also don't get the 4G LTE option on 3 UK but the option appears when I put an EE SIM card in. I think it's because 3 hasn't yet activated 4G on your SIM. They should activate it within the next month or so.
Edit: I have just checked the 3 website and it says a software update is required for 4G to work so upgrading to KitKat might fix it.

[Q] [Help] No 4g / LTE option LG G2 D802

Hi, I cant seem to switch my phone to 4g / LTE. I've tried the various *# hacks like LTE only, but i only get 'Not supported'. Anyone else experiencing this? I was using 4g and getting 4g speeds on my N5. The phone was previously locked and I unlocked it straight away after receiving it.
The software version is D80210g-234-30

Anyone?

im also interested on how to fix this. anyone?

Turns out it was just a problem with the sim / network I was using (Tesco (o2)). When I tried with another 4g sim the options for LTE showed just fine

It was a problem with my network provider, nothing to do with the phone. Try another 4g sim from another network and see if you get 4g / LTE

I contacted LG today about the 4G issues that many experience and I thought I should share the official response:
Many Thanks for your email regarding your LG G2, I am sorry to hear you are experiencing problems in receiving 4G.
Can I just ask whom your network provider is? All main UK network providers bar a couple are receiving 4G via our handset, there are only a few 4G networks at the moment who are yet to approve the software on the G2. Please note it is not a limitation of the handset but is network dependent
The above will also explain why some other people in the area are getting it, their networks are almost certainly among those whom have approved the software on the G2 handset.
I look forward to your earliest response with the network provider, once received we should be able to clarify this for you.

Hi, I have recently upgraded my phone to a sim free LG G2 also, and in doing so spoke to Tesco Mobile about receiving a new 4G sim to match my upgraded tariff.
This has all been put in place but I still have no ability to select LTE in the preferred network section. New APN settings were sent out by Tesco but this didnt make any additional setting options available, has anyone got any more info on this issue or advice?

You probably also have an non-EUR software version installed on your G2. Where did you buy it from?
If the above stands, the solution is to flash the EUR software version, although I haven't as I do not really need 4G for the time being. 3G is completely fine.

The handset was purchased from Expansys in the UK and the software is version D80220b-EUR-XX.
So I would not have expected that this issue would come up, it seems to be a unique blend of Tesco(UK) carrier settings and the handset software.
I won't be flashing any new ROM as a solution for a problem which sits with the carrier. Though I am keen to hear if any other users have found an alternative work around.

You already have a EUR software version, so you do not have to flash.
There is a problem with some carriers in the UK not approving the G2 4G software as I have stated above.

Had the same problem.
Changed the SIM for a new one (still labelled 3G 128k) and 4G is fine now (stock JB D802 SIM free).
My previous SIM was almost from the turn of the century (cut to fit microSIM)

I'm having the same problem, no LTE option, here's a solution:
Enter Android test menu by dialing *#*#4636#*#*
Go to Phone Information ... Set preffered network type ... f.e. to LTE/GSM/WCDMA ... if LTE is available, my phone switches to LTE ( showing 4G ) immediately without restarting.

This is what I did

[Q] Using Verizon Galaxy Note 3 International

Can someone Please help me figure out why I cannot get service on my Verizon Galaxy Note 3 when I'm traveling or specifically in India. I thought Verizon Note 3 is world unlocked out of the box!!! Am I wrong?
BACKGROUND:
I have successfully flashed my Verizon Note 3 to Boost Mobile so that means I used a Samsung Galaxy Prevail as my donor phone which means I changed the MEID # of my Note3. I have also successfully rooted the phone and have also installed Beanstown106 leaked version of KK 4.4.2 on the Phone with the latest Safestrap and it works fine as far as I can tell. I used the instructions from the following thread to flash my phone to Boost; just FYI:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060085
QUESTION:
I try to insert the GSM SIM card for Vodafone carrier and it's unable to connect to network even though I added the correct APN settings. So does this have anything to do with me changing the MEID# on my Note 3, is this why it's not connecting to a network?
I kept getting the error message that "This SIM card is from an unknown source" So I disable the setup wizard 1.0 using nobloat app and it got rid of that message. I'm still unable to connect to a network?
Can someone please tell me what I need to do to fix it or can tell me what the problem is?
Or if there's anyone that has used the Verizon Note 3 overseas successfully that can tell me what I'm doing wrong?

purchase a local SIM from Airtel with a 1GB 3G package and 200 minutes of talktime for about 700 rupees ($10 or so)!!
When adding the new SIM you will see message "Non-Verizon SIM detected" but apart from that voice should work just great. Go into the APN settings the + now active and add in the new APN settings for Airtel. After you do this the internet will start working and you will be able to get H/H+ speeds there.
So yes, Verizon 4G LTE phones are truly unlocked for oversees use and you can just pop in a foreign SIM and go no worries...

Yes it may very well have to do with a IMEI change. I didnt think it was possible to change the imei.

So why would the Airtel SIM work and Vodafone will not? I don't get it they are both GSM carriers so why would one work and other one wont? Even though I fixed the APN settings for the Vodafone SIM.

My mistake, I meant I changed the MEID# not the IMEI.
But apparently you can change the IMEI# of the device as well, allegedly according to the following thread. I never done it myself.

That could easily cause you issues if your carrier can't understand the identification information your phone is providing the tower.

To be safe keep a log of what you have changed that way if it is worse you can know how to go back or what you have played with otherwise as with myself once time passes I completely forget all the details.

Help - Note 4 - SM-910G INU working only on 2g GSM.

UPDATE - 25/10/16 - Gave phone to Samsung Service center and they have updated me today that they found the radio is corrupted possibly so they have asked Samsung to give them a confirmation to proceed with Radio firmware reloading which includes IMEI re-coding. There's a chance of even them getting the device bricked of course but lets see what happens.
Hello all,
I have SM-N910G with latest stock rom (N910GDTS1DPI1).
Was using this phone on Reliance Jio VOLTE since end July and had set network more to LTE only (sicne RJio only has 4g LTE coverage).
Last thursday morning I noticed the phone is not registered on network and on trying to troubleshoot further by switching to a different (Vodafone) SIM, realized that the phone is only able to register on GSM (2G) networks and Edge data works too.
Have tried factory reset (and reloading of stock ROM thru ODIN including NAND erase using PIT files too) to check if I can get the phone to work on 3g/4g but no use. Seems like this is hardware issue (radio gone faulty?).
The phone is 18 months old so out of standard warranty hence I'm not much hopeful that Samsung Service center will be of any help. Before I take this there, just wanted to check if anyone else faced such issue before and have managed to sort the same out.
Cheers and thanks in advance.

Thanks but it's not an apn issue. The phone doesn't simply register on any 3g or 4g networks. Hence the thought that it's hardware issue.

What do you mean by not getting Volte on any SIM? It's only for Reliance Jio. For other service providers, you need to get a 4G SIM before you can use 4G.
My phone is now dead bricked and beyond repairs as confirmed by Samsung service center. I'm not spending 15k for motherboard change.

4g
I have idea 4g sim but when I insert it
My note 4 doesn't shows it it says no sim card
Insert sim when I put Jio sim I get no service/ Jio 4g
Emergency calls only signal when I tried bsnl 3g
& Tata Docomo 3g sims both sims getting network
Signal & I can call also but when I tried to connect to internet by using these 3g sims my mobile connects and switchs off suddenly I have to pull out battery or connect to charger to start the mobile
This is my problem

That's weird indeed. Have you ever tried any custom Roms or rooting because of which your Knox status would have tripped? In any case it's worth taking the phone to nearest samsung service center. They charge just 200 bucks to inspect the issue and another 200 to reload the software if needed. But in my case it was hardware fault so they couldn't do anything.

All the best mate. Just remember that they will ask you to sign up for Dead Brick risk which means you're OK if device goes dead during software flashing. The only way to get device working again is to replace motherboard which costs around 15k.
