Well if your APN settings are allright you either have no LTE coverage or it isn`t available at your provider. LTE should be activated automaticaly if available.

my APN setting is right and i am in LTE coverage (my galaxy s3 9305 has LTE/WCDMA/GSM mode and connect to LTE network) but it has not any LTE in setting and i cant connect to LTE
I update to G900FDXXU1ANH2 to resolve this problem but it doesnt resolved

Better contact your provider. Does the G900FD support your providers LTE band/frequency? I would check that first.

i think that i have to see LTE in networks if there is no sim card registered in the phone
am i right ?

That would be impossible as you cannot connect to the network without a simcard

I`am starting to think that the G900FD supports different LTE bands then the G900F because it is build for a different region. Its mainly sold in the far east as i can see so far. Better Google to find the specs and the phones supported LTE bands. You may not be able to get LTE with your device i`am afraid. Good luck mate.

you are right
i have to check frequency bands in my phone becuse i buy this phone from UAE and i dont know that LTE bands are the same as my operators lte frequency bands

You should see LTE on sim2 only. Not Sim 1 .

i am planning to buy this phone, can anybody share the supported LTE bands or networks where LTE has been used successfully

Similar problem with me, could anybody share some insight

Hi guys
I also had the issue of LTE not being selectable on my S5 Duos - here's my experiences.
Firstly I tried putting another carriers SIM into the phone, and noticed that LTE -was- selectable, but upon putting my own SIM back in, it again wasn't. HOWEVER - after putting my own SIM back in after using LTE on the other SIM, the phone automatically connected to LTE/4G even though WCDMA (auto) was selected! Very odd.
To permanently fix this here was my method -
My phone was shipped with ANF7 firmware, which was patched to overcome the kernel vulnerability Towelroot uses to gain root. I flashed my phone with ODIN back to ANF6 firmware, applied towelroot V3, then installed root browser and edited the system file data >property>persist.radio.lteon and changed the value from false to true, and rebooted the phone. LTE is now selectable!
:EDIT: Upgrading again to ANF7 broke the selection, but it still connected to LTE automatically... So odd.

Hi,
I had the same issue as yours. You can either fix it by a method explained here at XDA and it involves rooting the device. However I fixed my issue by flashing the latest firmware "G900FDXXU1ANJ2" for the month of November via Odin and now I can see the LTE/WCDMA/GSM option on sim 1. Hope this helps

[Q] [i9505] data connection on 2g (edge) only, 3g and lte doesn't work at all

Hello,
I upgraded my plan to one which includes LTE data transfer. When I turn on mobile data connection (with data roaming allowed) phone connects only to 2G EDGE network. There is no way to connect with 3G/HSPDA/LTE despite good signal and proper settings (preffered network type, apns etc). I've tried:
- few different modems/radios: XXUHOB7, XXUHOB8, XXUGNG8,
- few roms: stock 4.4.2 I9505XXUGNG8_I9505YXZGNH2_XEO, CyanogenMod 12, CyanogenMod 11, I9505_-_Official_Google_Edition_5.0.0_by_Jamal2367_Stable-R2.1 and JFLTE-GPE-20150315
With no luck. I didn't used data connection a lot before so I can't say when the problem started to occuring. I tested my SIM card on different phone and LTE connection works... I attached screenshot from "Advanced Signal Status"
Do you have any ideas how to solve this issue?
Thanks!

same error here!
any solution??

It really depends on what bands your carrier is using. For example, in romania, we have a carrier (digi mobil) that has 4g signal only on the tdd 38 2600mhz band, a band that our phone (i9505), doesn't support.
You should look into your carrier bands, get info on what bands are they currently using and then see if they coincide with the bands that your phone supports. What variant do you have and on what carrier are you on?

Is your phone showing the correct imei?

How do i know if my imei is "correct"? I checked my imei and i inserted it in a site and i found the specifications of my phone as they should be, but my 3g and 4g are completely dead.

Does the imei in the phone match the imei on the label under the battery?

910C LTE and 2G works, but no WCDMA

So the thing is, a month ago my note 4(6.0.1) for some reason stopped working in 3G or 4G.
Things I've done in order to fix it:
- factory reset
- updated to the latest baseband
- changed sim-card to latest possible
- changed carrier
So right now I'm using a different carrier and have 4G and 2G, but when I switch to 3G, for some reason I can't use internet at all.
Is there a possible fix for this issue? Can this be a hardware problem, considering that 4G and 2G are still fully working?
Also, during 3G usage I've checked service mode menu and it says GMM State: Limited Service.
When I use 4G or 2G, it doesn't show this.
What can this possibly mean?
thanks

935p unlocked and flashed to 935u but can't pick up cdma bands

So maybe this was a bad idea but I'm on boom mobile (verizon mvno) and thought I could save some money and picked up a sprint s7 edge on sale, I just had it unlocked and they flashed it to the 935u unlocked version. The problem is I can't connect to the verizon network, after playing around with it a bit I got it to connect to the verizon lte network but still no voice. In my meager attempts to troubleshoot I noticed I have the options under network mode of
LTE/3g/2g -->> this picks up all networks in my area (Verizon, Sprint, ATT, Tmobile, US Cellular)
3g/2g --> only shows ATT and Tmobile
3g --> only shows ATT and Tmobile
2g --> only Tmobile
So I'm thinking my phone isn't setup right to connect to cdma networks which I thought the 935u rom was supposed to do. Anyone have any tips on how i can further troubleshoot this?
Thanks in advance.
edit: Well I installed a program called 4g LTE switch and set it to cdma only and I was able to make a phone call (3g data also worked) like that but changing it to LTE/cdma wouldn't let me make a call but LTE data worked, if i leave it set to LTE/cdma and reboot it switches back to LTE only.
edit2: Maybe it's trying to connect to volte which isn't offered for Verizon MVNO's yet but i don't see any settings available to disable that.
edit3: When set to LTE/CDMA I could sometimes make outgoing calls, sometimes I would get the double dial prompt, it was very slow to switch between LTE and CDMA so I would miss incoming phone calls.
I threw in the towel and just flashed the latest Verizon rom and it's working properly.

How to force VZW E4 (post-unlock) to use GSM/WCDMA/TD

Hello,
I am trying to check how i can have the phone force all bands and not just LTE only. My phone after i unlocked it works great on t-mobile, However, i have to always go back
and change the radio to TDSCDMA/GSM/WCDMA etc so i can get LTE and voice. It defaults to LTE only. Anyone know how to clear this or force on one band ?
Thanks

if you are rooted download http injector and select radios option from dropdown menu select auto/ all bands option

Verizon variant is not rootable.
