[Q] Installed Echoe_Illusion ROM, but no 4G

Hi.
I installed the Echoe_Illusion rom some days ago and I like it
The bad part is that I don't seem to get 4G on it and the network I'm using and the place I'm in sure should have it.
I'm in Sweden and the build number is: Echoe_Illusion_KOT49H.G900fFXXU1ANCE.
Baseband: G900FXXU1ANC9
I'm starting to think that something is wrong with that baseband and my geographic placement, can I test it somehow, cos a test just gives me
about 25M down and 2M up when I saw another guy get 50M down and 40M up in the same place.
Is there a way to check the frequencies with a "secret" keypad code like in my old SGS2, I fiddled with that and got better speeds?
and another thing, is everything with Flash now out of the picture?
Read something that the last version was for Android 4.0, I tried that but firefox just hangs,

Double check the APN and make sure it's correct for your provider's LTE network.

I have, several times although they don't have all the information the phone needs.
Tried to fiddle with it with the result of no network at all.

You don't need any key for check frequency in Europe almost every privider use same frequency
Band 20 (800MHz)
Band 3 (1800 MHz)
Band 7 (2600 MHz)
Hutchison 3 Sweden 800 20 FDD
Hutchison 3 Sweden 2600 7 FDD
Hutchison 3 Sweden 2600 38 TDD
Net4Mobility Sweden 800 20 FDD

Telia Sweden 800 20 FDD
Telia Sweden 1800 3 FDD
Telia Sweden 2600 7 FDD
If you want to know if your sim actually is working with an 3G or 4G network i use a simple apps called Open Signal
Open signal tell you what signal your SIM is working and also the cell number and position where it is connected
If give to you UMTS (3g) mean your SIM / Phone are not able to recognize LTE signal

Enable 1700 band on 910c?

Is there anyway to enable 1700 AWS /LTE on the 910C using QPST?
I know a few phones have benefited from a QPST modification in the past.
I'm interested in the Exynos Note 4 and would like to use with tmobile however I wonder if there's a way to enable all of the tmobile bands to work to ensure 100% network phone & data coverage compatibility.
It seems the only issue tmobile has is the missing 1700 band for 3G aws, 4G aws & LTE.
Is there a way to enable the 1700 band on the 910C using QPST?
According to Tmobile....

Voice over LTE (VoLTE)
VoLTE (Voice over LTE) allows you to place and receive calls on our LTE data network. Phone calls are connected with a clear and rich experience. You never know when you might need to check Facebook while talking to your mom and sharing your Mobile Hotspot with your friends. All of this, on our amazingly fast 4G LTE network. Here's some of the highlights:
Switch between 4G VoLTE and Wi-Fi without dropping a call!
Enjoy crystal-clear calls with our new HD Voice service.
Browse the web with speed while on a call.
Placing a call connects twice as fast.
4G LTE
T-Mobile's advanced 4G LTE network is smoking fast! With incredible speed, you can do more using our nationwide 4G LTE network. 4G LTE delivers up to 50% faster speeds then 3G. If you're in an area served by 4G LTE, you can expect blazing fast speeds because of our expanded capacity. Check out our coverage map to see all the places we have 4G LTE.*
Frequencies: Band 2 (1900 MHz), Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz), Band 12 (700 MHz)
4G (HSPA+)
With 4G, theoretical maximum download speeds range from 21 Mbps up to 42 Mbps. You can take advantage of incredibly fast download speeds, and even use voice and data services at the same time.
Frequencies: Band 2 (1900 MHz), Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz)
3G (HSPA)
With 3G, theoretical maximum download of 14 Mbps. With 3G, you can use voice and data services simultaneously.
Frequencies: Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz)
2G (GSM, GPRS, and EDGE)
EDGE, our enhanced 2G service, delivers a theoretical maximum download speed of 236 kbps. GPRS, our 2G service, delivers a theoretical maximum download speed of 114 kbps. Typical speeds are between 35 kbps and 45 kbps. Keep in mind, voice and data services cannot work simultaneously when on GPRS or EDGE.**
Frequencies: Band 2 (1900 MHz)
Requirements
It's important to use a device capable of the network type you desire, and you should be in a location that has cellular network coverage. Check out our coverage map to see what areas we service, and check out Phones & Devices for device specifications.
Data speeds vary depending on its operating system, processor, battery life, running applications, peak theoretical speeds, and distance from the cell site. USB laptop sticks almost always offer higher speeds than smartphones, because they use the power of a laptop with larger batteries, processors, and other technologies. Also, downloading information is faster than uploading. There is no way to predict an exact speed with so many factors affecting your experience.

and the 910C specs seem to be:
Thetaylor310 said:
According to GSM Arena, the following LTE bands are set to work on the N910C (i have it too):
700/800/850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600 MHz
(Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 17, 20) - N910F, N910C
And according to the providers' link given by B.Diddy, the major US LTE bands are the following:
Verizon:
- Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz)
- Band 5 (850 MHz)
- Band 13 (700 MHz)
Sprint:
- Band 25 (1900 MHz)
- Band 26 (800 MHz)
AT&T:
- Band 2 (1900 MHz)
- Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz)
- Band 5 (850 MHz)
- Band 12&17 (700 MHz)
T-Mobile:
- Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz)
- Band 12 (700 MHz)

I have the same situation. Have you fix it for your 910C? What is QPST and what should I do? Thanks in advance.

Lack Of Band 20 In The UK ?!

Apparently the ZUK does not have full spectrum coverage - is that a major issue for people living in the UK?
I think only O2 uses the Band 20 range exclusively for 4G - but even if you miss out on that, would it still work on 3G?
Basically, is the ZUK a good choice or a bad choice for folks in England?
(If it is a bad buy, then what other Dual Sim phone is better and in the same price range?)

Same in germany, depending on the provider and region.... Band 20 is often used in villages etc.
You can check with http://www.willmyphonework.net/
Of course 3G still works.
Personally i don´t miss LTE tho. As long as we have no real flatrates here for stuff like LTE i see no point in having more bandwith...

It doesn't affect me as I am too tight to pay for LTE anyway and 3G is just about good enough for my needs. If LTE became cheaper than £10 per month I might be bothered - though I'm on EE which is not band 20 anyway.
I am puzzled though why Lenovo didn't just enable band 20 anyway. I could understand if they just planned to sell the phone in China and India but they have officially launched it in Europe as well. Maybe they don't want it to sell too well in Europe because if it did maybe Apple and Samsung would start throwing patent suits at them.

Because the band isn´t on the SoC they use imho.
Oneplus One, Xiaomi Mi4 etc they all lack band 20.

TDD-LTE (band 38, 39, 40, 41)
FDD-LTE (band 1, 3, 7)
TD-SCDMA (band 34, 39 )
WCDMA ( 850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz)
CDMA2000 ( 800 MHz)
GSM/EDGE( 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
CDMA( 800MHz)

I use it in Edinburgh with Three. No problems.

Working fine on Vodafone (London).

I can't use 4g in Southport. Not happy as I was told I would be able to. Having said that My Nexus 5 hardly ever got 4g off 3 here and it was slower than h+.

Atleast read up The chip has band 20.

I'm on GiffGaff and can't get 4g. I live in an area near Liverpool where 4g coverage on giff gaff is poor anyway so not too bothered.

Any solution to activate band 20 in the Z1?

Lock LTE to band 7 (2600 MHz)

Hi
I have problems with my mibile broadband and they could not fix it so the wanted me to send my modem to them and it was nothing wrong with it and the r*tards then said that I needed to test another modem to see if the on I have now is broken?????
Anywho, my speeds is 60 % of the time at 10-30 mbit%s 39.99999% ut's under 3 mbit/s so it's useless and every other full moon it's pumping out +60 mbit/s.
The best speeds in Sweden from Telenor is on band 7 so is it possible to lock the G" so it only uses that band, and if so, how?
Sorry for my s*itty english...
Thanks.

Signal issue without LTE Band 20 (LTE FDD 800- (B20))

Hi guys..
This is my question: "What are the real problems without Band 20 (LTE FDD 800MHz (B20)) in daily use?"
I'm interested to purchase 6/128GB Chinese version.
I live in Italy, and my carrier is TIM... my 4G works on LTE FDD 800/1800/2600 (B3/B7/B20), and Chinese version has all bands except 800MHz (B20). Is this a real problem or not?
There is a method to know what is most important frequency in my area? I can't find one app that show my my actual band... i want try to test my S4 daily signal to write a map of most used frequencies in my area. Does anyone know what app i can use for this?

Depending on where you live and what you carrier is, you risk not having LTE.
EDIT : If you're living in the countryside, you "need" it.

Sorry but i've launched the thread after wrong click... i've edited the original post.
I know that i risk to lost 4G connection... and i don't want this!
But if i test my area's band, and 800MHz is the 1% of signal coverage.. the problem is solved! (800MHz is short range band, but strong enough to penetrate buildings, but i've ADSL )

If your area is well covered by band 3 and 7 then you don't really need it.
Band 7 : Short range, "bad" indoor signal, big capacity. Great if you live in some big town, with a lot of antennas.
Band 20 : Long range, good indoor signal, "little" capacity. Great if you live in the countryside, with fewer towers.
Band 3 : "between" the other 2.

Ok thanx man... now i need any app that help me to trace my signal, i want scan it in my daily use, to know how much time (and where) i really use 800MHz Band! Can u help me to find an appropriate app? Are three days that i try, but nothing, I can't find the right app.

It needs root. Or at least I once granted it root...

Check this
http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/s...-lte-in-deutschland-info-sammelthread.747199/
Picture one is 800 MHz, second ome 1800 MHz and the last one 2600 MHz but this is Telekom (Mercedes). On Vodafone or Telefonica 95 to 100% is band 20/800 MHz.
In Italy you can check the provider homepage. 800 MHz is up to 50 Mbit/s, 1800 MHz up to 100 or 150 Mbit/s and 2600 MHz is the rest (300 Mbit/s and more).

Yes i know the Band20 (800MHz) importance, but in the end i've found a way to know which band i really use in my town (I live in a small town with 60,000 people). Simply using a Service Mode (+#0011#) i can see the actual band in use, and with my great surprise, i only use Band3 (1800 MHz) on LTE and Band1 (2100 MHz) on UMTS!!! I've found Band20 only a few times, and for few seconds. Ex: in my house i use only Band3 (speedtest 75 or more Mbps everywhere in my house), in 2 days no Band20 (but in my house isn't a problem, i've the optical fiber...) - Using my car i've turned around the town, and all town is covered by Band3, even the sea area, on the beach only Band3 (speedtest 50 Mbps)!!! A little problem at my work, in my office i've found Band20 (LTE) and Band1 (HSPA), but Band20 with -115 Dbs and Band1 -90 Dbs, and after many speedtest with Band20 i've max 5 Mbps, and with Band1 max 10 Mbps (But i work in a police central and i've a tons of PC - Radios - and it's really full of interference)!
In conclusion the Band20 is not really important for me! I do other tests and after i decide!
