I recently reset my phone. I flashed a newer version of MM . I was dealing with a lot of phone lag, and Google play movies not working for me. Well I picked a UK version off Sammobile. The phone seems much better, of course it's a fresh flash. My question is with LTE. I had the option in network mode for LTE, and when viewing sim status on the previous version it said I was connected to an LTE network, now it says 4g? Thoughts?

Some regions have lte icon and some 4g nothing to worry about.

That I understand. The problem if there is one, under sim status the previous factory rom had me on LTE under cellular network type, with the new factory image it says 4g. I'm attaching an image of the old factory rom., which I cant seem to find on sammobile.

I have an unrooted ATT S4 and an unrooted Note 3 on T Mobile which is unlocked that I use on ATT.
With the ATT simcard inside the S4 I only receive HSPA and no LTE service, with the same simcard in the Note 3 I get LTE service ( according to network signal info app ). I tried checking my APN settings on the S4 and it looks okay, infact I created another just to make sure.
If I try the *#*#4636 etc etc command the S4 shows WCDMA preferred only. It does not allow me to change to anything else. However, if I put another ATT simcard in the S4 LTE works, anyone care to explain what is going on ? This only started when I first went to review the previously mentioned network radio mode menu command.
Thanks.
I would think you have a bad SIM card. Very strange it would work in one and not the other.

You may have to factory reset the s4
Any luck on that yet? I'm very curious what the problem is with it.

No luck, the unit would only select WCDMA preferred with my ATT sim card inside of it. I did factory reset multiple times to no avail.

Did you ever try a brand new SIM card?

No sir, I did not. I have sold the S4 as I bought a note 3 earlier this month. The new owner tested it and he got LTE!

Can't be anything else can it ? I agree.
When the sim was out the S4 would default to its stock radio. I believe it was something like gsm lte auto prn or something.

I had the same issue..it's your sim card....I went to my Fido store...talked nicely to the guy at the counter and he gave me a LTE sim card which he normally charges $10 for....problem solved...if your phone supports the right lte band and the network operates on the same band...it's always the sim card

Have you tried inserting correct APN settings to get Mobile Data back?
I Tried everything nothing works.
My S5 permanently shows 4G except when on Wifi. I got it from GSM Nation and they sent me the G900W8 (Canadian) model instead of the G900F (International) but it works fine in my country. There is no actual 4G in my country, yet my phone shows that. Does anyone have a solution or have the same problem?

It's most likely that the canadian version (and the US versions) consider HSPA+ as 4G.
The problem is that it shows 4G even when the signal is actually Edge or 3G.

That's weird it should be 4G=H+, H=H, 3G and E that's what I get. Maybe you need to flash a Modem from your country. Look into it. Don't go flashing a modem just yet investigate some more.

My friend's S5 is working properly and I just don't get why mine is acting weird. The data works properly and the bands my country uses are within the bands of the phone. I'll wait a bit more. Maybe someone will have an answer.

I bought Galaxy S7 from T-Mobile and switch to Verizon network, however the phone does not connect to Verizon network, it connect to AT&T and even when I try to use my international SIM card it works just fine except with Verizon.
I flashed the modem image of Verizon Galaxy S7 and I was able to get 4G LTE signal but no phone calls or SMS I tried to flash the Verizon image with no luck it gave me about the PIT file, I tried the TMobile PIT the Verizon image was larger than the TMobile partition.
Can anyone help me figure out which image or what partial image I can Flash to make the phone capable of using the Verizon phone network?
Hardware isnt compatible. Verizon is cdma tmobile/att/cricket is gsm. Been down that road. Cricket now has an unlimited lte plan for 65$ thats where I went. Best deal out there and prepaid, bill is always the same every month

There were differences before, but this isn't the case anymore, Verizon is GSM/CDMA today, and they default to GSM, and as for the GS7 there is absolutely no HW difference between the US market versions.
Can someone help me figuring which image contain the drivers/code that control which frequency the phone chip connect to.
To be more clear modem.img in android control the 4G/3G driver, what control the voice transport driver?

Most likely you have the wrong apn setting

APN settings control data link, not voice link.
FYI I have right APN .

This is not true anymore, that changed when they started using sim cards.

Does the TMo version support all the LTE bands that Verizon has? Also, in the case you don't have LTE service, you won't get 3G at all, since Verizon doesn't support HSPA at all.

The CDMA radio on board isn't compatible with VZW voice network. This has been true for ages. VZW won't let a non-vzw certified device on their voice network because they literally don't have to. If your device supports compatible VoLTE that might work as it sends the call over GSM but if you ever lose LTE signal you won't be able to use that side of the network.

Flash through odin doesn't require unlock bootloader. From what I have read. All four carrier can flash to each other without trigger anything.
N/a
When I try to flash using Odin, I get a message saying that the system image is larger than the partition, I tried to use the Verizon PIT to partition the storage with no luck!

I live in NYC and have TMobile account. When I got the phone and connected it was only connecting to 3g . I switch the setting to allow LTE and it now connects to 4g with good speeds. But for some reason whenever I reboot my phone or change setting where LTE is not enabled ,phone doesn't connect to 3g anymore but only to 2g . Does anyone know what happened ?
BTW I already tried to reset the phone
Thanks for any information

I thought I read that this model will lose the network setting every time the phone is restarted. You have to go into network settings and re-select 4G LTE. I'm thinking of getting this model for use on AT&T. Try resetting the network preference and let us know what happens.

It does loose it's connection after reboot but at first it would switch to 3g and stay there, about few weeks after owning device it only switches to 2g as if no 3g available

That's odd. And nothing has changed since you bought it? When you reboot the phone and it defaults to 2G, if you then change it to 4G LTE manually, will it stay on 4G LTE until the next reboot?

It stays on 4g without issues but stopped connecting to 3g after reboot. I know it's not much but now when I make a call 4g switches to 2g and it takes longer the usual for call to go through .

i suspect this has something to do with your simcard/network. i have the H870DS, and i got 4G+/LTE out of the box with a Koodo (in Canada) sim. nothing changes with reboot.
