Galaxy exhibit 4G signal

I live in Dominican Republic and use this phone with Claro RD with 850 freq, for some reason i installed a jellybean rom and my internet was H+ but when i returned to gingerbread software it only says 3G, do any of you know how to get this phone to show 4G or at least H+ with 2.3.6 stock software?

You probably have a 9500 model, which does not support LTE. Only the 9505 version does.
No i have a i9505 for sure we only have this model in austria and i have looked at settings its i9505...and also on the box its 4×1.9 quadcore processor

call your provider thewy may have to enable LTE on your account then restart your phone and option may appear as the sim card updates itself ands the phone.

[INDIA] [Airtel] LTE not available

Hi Guys ,
My Nexus 6P shows only "H" symbol inspite of selecting LTE. As far as i know "H" stands for 3G only. I have airtel provider and i have a 4G enabled SIM as well.
Or does airtel not support LTE bands here in India ?
Can any indian 6P users shed some light on this please ?

Strange that my phone doesnt catch LTE signal , i have a OP2 as well with Airtel and that does not have problems connecting to LTE.

Another Indian here, living in Bangalore, can definitely confirm the LTE band works perfectly fine with my 6P, Airtel on almost all the roms I've tried and tested. Have you tried the *#*#4636#*#* and selecting the LTE only and check if you have reception?
Works in mumbai too !!

Anyone using this phone on 3 network? Does it work ok on 4G as it only doesn't look like it supports the 800Mhz band, Thanks

I don't see band 20 on either model
If it matters then a different phone, e.g. the OnePlusX is a near equivalent in some ways 5", SD slot it had band 20 in the UK model, but its not sold any longer.

Does Region Unlocking Free Up 4g Bands?

I have bought a US variant of a phone and am using in the UK.
It only uses one of the 4g LTE bands.
If I was able to region unlock the phone - would this free up the other bands for me to use?
Or am I permanently locked with the one 4g LTE band?

Region lock prevents a phone from being initialized outside its region of sale. Region unlocking it allows it to use any SIM from any wireless provider anywhere in the world. It doesn't change any of the phone's s/w.
You'd need to flash a different modem to change the wireless bands. That can be tricky because if the modem from another is different in packaging size than the one on your phone it'll fail in Odin. As an example, I have a SM-P905 tablet from Singapore. I can flash a Spain ROM to it but not some other EU countries because the flash fails when it gets to the modem because the modem s/w is different size.
Thanks.
