HSPA.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
My wife just got her unlocked l7 and I'm only getting edge data speeds. How can I set it up for t mobile hspa speeds?

Go to: Settings - Wireless & network - Mobile networks - Network mode, now set it to "WCDMA only"

Isn't CDMA Verizon and sprint only? T-Mobile is GSM. I'll try it when my wife gets off work.

try to edit your Access Point Names (APN) or create new APN, maybe your APN doesn't correct. cmiiw/imho
searching with google for APN is good idea

I'll give it a try. Can you mess something up if you do it wrong?

Still didn't work. It will not let me change the default APN.

Got it to change but still on edge. Would like to get 3g at least. Any suggestions?

My wife has her phone at work. I'll look when she gets home. She bought it on amazon. It the P-705 also. What is the APN settings suggested. Her default showed GPRS too. Not sure what this means.

Search it within MOBILE NETWORKS, not 100% sure cause I m now on CM10. Anyway look in settings and when you find Access Point Network(APN) you'll see GPRS or 3G parameters. Check all if something misses you add manually. It's conf from your network , Google it or find from official site huh. I'm tired now

I didn't have any luck. Hopefully someone can figure out how.

I dug around in 3845#*800#
There is no RAT selection under the CDMAOnly or LTE-Only menus.
Hope some one can find this, really need to kill LTE at work.

LG-D802

Hi. I have the LG-D802 variant of this phone that I bought a couple of days ago. I have a few questions
1. Is this LTE capable? If so, how do I activate LTE? Can't find it in the mobile data settings.
2. Is this equipped with the capability to do wireless charging?
Thanks!
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk 4

1.Not sure, but try search at hidden menu
3845#*802# - LTE only - Mode selection
2.Verizon only

Thanks. Apparently, this variant is set to automatically get LTE signals when available. Was wondering coz my wife's iPhone had a switch inside settings that allowed her to toggle her LTE on and off. It's my first time to use an LTE capable phone.
The wireless charging only being made available to the Verizon variant sucks.

It depends if your carrier has 4G as I am on Three network UK and I too dont have the LTE option because 4G not out in my area yet but when I changed sim to O2 who already have 4G the LTE option appears.

If you're already rooted go to data/property ,find the persist.radio.lteon.xml file. Open it in Text Editor and if the value that is written is false, change it to true. Save and exit and reboot. Thats it

If you don't know it means you're not
If bought directly from Vidéotron and no modification has been done to your device, you're not rooted

Any benefits being rooted? Is it like being jailbroken.?

Rooting has many benefits. The main reason I do it is to uninstall all the bloatware that Samsung saddles you with. My Note 3 came with 25+ useless apps that I can't delete. That's not even counting the 7 that T-Mobile sticks on here. Most of them don't run all the time, but a few do. Like Magazine and the also useless Samsung Siri knockoff. I just use Google voice instead. Another advantage to rooting it would be all the customization options that you would have.

How to determine what LTE spectrum you're on?

Is there any app available to see what LTE spectrum you're on? The new AWS spectrum is ridiculously fast and it would be cool to know if you're on it or not without running a speed test. Any info would be appreciated.

Wow, I'd say. Very impressive. Out of curiosity,was this tested in/near an airport? I ask only because I've found LTE speeds to be generally improved there.

This was done inside my work building and nowhere near an airport. My S4 only achieved 20-25mb/sec in the same area, so this came as a very nice surprise.

As soon as I can get to my device I'll check for the Hidden Menu apk. There might not be one on the S5...

On the Note 3 there there was an option to get into the phones ServiceMode Menu through dial codes from within the phone dialer. I haven't had any luck finding anything on the S5 yet. I'm not sure Verizon has turned on the Band 4 LTE modem on the Galaxy S5, I know that on the Note 3, Band 4 LTE was turned OFF by default, if you had root, you could go in ServiceMode settings and turn it ON.
Hope this helps.
Samsung ServiceMode Dial Codes: (at least on the S4 and Note 3)
*#0011# General Debug screen
*#2263# Allows you to force any frequency on your phone
*#27663368378# Main screen
