[SM-G900F] Connected to GSM/WCDMA but it shows the "4G" icon - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!
3 years ago, I purchased the Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F orignal) from Mobicom (Mongolia). The phone has the 4G LTE capability but it has some problems
1) I have a 4G LTE SIM card and a contract (and i'm near 4G LTE towers) but it doesn't connect to.
2)I set the network mode to GSM/WCDMA/LTE (auto connect) but still not showing LTE.
3) "Network type" shows EDGE/UMTS/HSPA not LTE, but my display shows 4G (confusing)
Is there any problems with my phone itself? How i can fix that?
Here is my screenshot:

[Q] Galaxy S4 LTE (i9505) connection issues...

Hi guys,
I'm using the Google Play Edition ROM for some weeks now and noticed something strange.
I have one of the best ISP's in my country (Belgium) which has almost everywhere 3G and on the most places even 4G. In the past I had very good 4G signal almost everywhere with my HTC One but with the Galaxy it's always stuck to 'E' and very occationally I get 'H' or 'H+'. But let's say for the most part, like 90% of the time, I only manage to receive 'E'...
The specific ROM:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As I'm not allowed to post in the development thread itself, I thought I could ask it here...
I already tried setting different connection types:
but none seem to work like it should. Or they work but I keep being stuck in 'E' mode...
EDIT:
I also tried using the 2 different kernels, but no change.
Another thing I noticed, when I'm on the phone with somebody I can hear them clearly but they all say my connection get's disrupted and they can't hear me (or not clearly) but the connection stays present.
Thanks!

Yes: your phone supports 4G/LTE
1. Do you have an U-SIM
2. Do you have 4G/LTE activated for your subscription
3. Do you have 4G/LTE coverage
4. Does your network support 4G/LTE

Meizu Metal 3G and 4G connectivity not working

Hi Everybody,
I have bought Meizu Metal from Aliexpress and received it few days ago. Everything is working smoothly except the 3G and 4G connection. The system version is Flyme OS 5.1.2.0Y, YounOS version 3.1.6. The GSM network is working fine. The specifications of the phone clearly shows that it supports 3G and 4G networks : 4G FDD-LTE:Bands:B3,B1 , 3G WCDMA:900/1900/2100MHz. My local operators supports 2100mhz for 3G and B3 for 4G. The phone detects 3G and 4G connection , but when I try to start browser or any app that requires internet it fails to connect.

Have you set APN values? If you haven't, find out those values with your carrier.

- what's the last android for this? what do you suggest me to use for a smooth working ?
- i have some problem, everytime it's lagging in the last period of time and almost everytime it's saying i had no space. I clear cache, and some application data and i still get that info.
Last time when i flash my phone, its was long time ago, with a lg optimus one. hope it's the same procedure with that.

I know there are a forum page for my phone, but I think it's more generally
I have already done the rebrand and the dual SIM worked, but now only one can work
