Well, I searched for this thread but couldnt find it, if theres a original post, im sorry for making a new one, but I had S9 and always on the top right corner was LTE icon for my cellular network. I bought S10+ and with the same SIM and same cellular, im getting 4G and 4G+ only, no more LTE. I know LTE is basically the same as 4G, but still it looks nicer to me when it says LTE. Maybe its up to the firmware, I dont know. Some advices?

When I was on the U firmware of Verizon I used to see 4G/4G+. I moved to U1 firmware and now I get LTE/LTE+. Possibly it is indeed uptown the firmware used.

I had the same issue after csc change tht aftr I used *#272*imei# =>>turned my s10+ INS/INS, INS/INS into BTU/BTU/, BTU/INS. It always was LTE in my netwrk tht suddenly became 4G+. I dint worry at 1st but ws shocked whn the phone lost call recording feature, caller ID and spam protection, offers showd in pound in Samsung members app instead of INR. I could never fix ths issue bcz tht csc changing code was unidirectional, it dint work after the phone became a BTU phone. None of the old methods to change csc worked. I got the phone replaced by Samsung aftr few weeks of struggle nd thn all became normal.
Probably have to root your F model phone to get LTE to display. You better off asking this question in the other forum section for a more accurate answer.

Mine has 4G and LTE. I win!
But yes, the icons are dependent on csc.. each carrier can tweak the icons to their liking, if u look through the csc code you will see what i mean.
i dunno if any apps exist (they used to) that let u change the icons but i would just go that route if i were you.

Hi Friends,
I'm on the Canadian side. Bought the phone with Wind Mobile, had to activate with their SIM, but then unlocked it with an unlocking code Wind provided like two hours after.
I'm now on Telus network, but the phone does not show LTE. I do recall it showing 4G/LTE when I was using the Wind sim.
Anyone have any solutions? Suggestions?
Anyone? Many thanks
Does telus has LTE? Wind doesn't have LTE, it has 4g...i am on rogers... Just another question.. Do you have Mobile Data toggle? I don't hve it.

Yes Telus has LTE. Wind doesn't. I'm using the same SIM card I used on the iphone 6, and the iphone 6 displays LTE no problem with this SIM.
I don't think I have mobile data toggle.

Did you try changing the CSC to Telus? Maybe the fact that it's a wind phone disables the LTE. Just thinking out loud.

Sure thing! You need to go in your dealer and dial *#272*(insert imei)# this will take you to the csc page. If you don't know what your imei is dial *#06# and write it down. Make sure you write down the first 15 digits as it might give you 2 extra. (after a dash of course)
Once you're in there you should see your csc as GLW I think that's the wind one. If what you want is Telus then select tls.
If it's already tls leave it. That's won't resolve your issue.
***Warning***
This will wipe your device
Hope that works for you bud :thumbup:

Your phone supports LTE+. All Canadian Galaxy s7 edge models are same regardless of carrier and contain all network bands offered by the respective carriers. I believe Roger's offers 4g if I'm not mistaken which is quite similar to LTE+. If you want LTE+ just change your CSC to BMC and put in a bell Sim card as long as your phone is unlocked. Then u will get LTE+.

If you open the phone dialer application and then click the more option in the top right corner and click settings you should have a option for wifi calling if you scroll right to the bottom of the page this is where you will find the wifi calling option.
Hi,

I'm not sure then I've been reading that Vodafone isn't adding wifi calling to BTU phones they only add wifi calling feature to their own phones which have their firmware. I purchased my s7 edge sim free off contract so it is fully unlocked and has the BTU firmware and when I put my EE sim only contract in the wifi calling feature showed up in the place I directed you to. It probably is just that Vodafone hasn't pushed the wifi calling feature to phones that aren't from them.

You can't do it without root. I am with Vodafone UK and on the BTU firmware and I don't see the WiFi calling option, but changing the CSC to VOD will bring back that option. Some features are controlled by CSC so you won't see them on a different firmware.

putting an EE sim in should make it work and bring the WiFi calling option up but i think it might have to be a pay monthly sim because EE don't support WiFi calling for pay as you go plans.

So I recently purchased s7 edge g935fd from Taiwan. The phone was working fine there in Taiwan. When I came back to the States, however, the phone seems to have trouble connecting TMobile's LTE mobile data. The LTE goes on and off , no matter where I am. The phone still says that it is connected to LTE even when the data is not loading. I tried to reset the APN setting but no avail. I also tried that sim card on my old ASUS Zenphone 2 and the LTE worked fine so it is probably not the sim card's fault. The weird thing is that I can still call, text, and even use 3g network, it's only LTE that is not working properly. Anyone got a solution to this?
Have you gone to settings>mobile networks and checked if it's set to auto connect?
I took off unlimited data from my account because **** sucks here In Aurora Colorado. Isn't worth an extra 20 a month when I got WiFi at home and at work. Plus 2gb free is cool with me. Still got bingeon
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
I used to have a note from Verizon Unlocked, but seems they've done that on and off signal quite a lot. Since their phones from T-Mobile have everything pre-installed, you can't even delete or edit their APN.
That's why I got a phone with then GS7E works like a charm.

Oh well. Like I said even with that sht I can NEVER load a video on Netflix on my lte, I would miss flights before this crap loads. I like t-mobile because it's the only one that's "good" in my area if t-mobile is "good" I don't want to know what's bad. That's cool it works for you. But I rather pay $55 a month for text talk and 2gb of free data

I have a 935FD on TMO and never have had a problem. I actually have a 935T also, just made sure the APN's matched. The FD however, has never shown an LTE icon although it shows connected to LTE in settings. This could be to being rooted and running a custom rom. But to your main question, again, I've had no issues.

Yes, I bought an International version after realizing it would probably be some time before the 935T got root. From what I understand, and don't quote me on this, but the international version of just about anything is compatible with TMO or any other GSM network. The Note 7 should be just as compatible as my 935FD is with TMO.

No, and that is the only reason I've kept my TMO version is for the wifi calling. If the buildings where I work weren't blast proof we would have cell signal inside them. Since we don't, the wifi calling is our only Option, besides landlines of course. For all these reasons we're talking about is why I'm looking at getting an HTC 10. I'm getting tired of all the Samsung lock down on stuff.

My point is that Att knows that I have an Essential phone ( we installed the sims in the store) and in fact I have 2 of them on my account and they both use LTE. I have seen the H show up when traveling down I70 in Eastern Kansas but is almost always says LTE. Maybe I am misunderstanding the issue here. Here are my APN settings.
Edit: I also am set to Global under prefered network types. Where I live the Speed seems much faster than set on 4G/LTE from my speed tests 45Mb vs 20Mb not sure if that is scientific or not.

Yes while you could use the device on AT&T as many of have it was not a recognized device by at&t. If you gave them your IMEI they wouldn't recognize the device as an official AT&T compatible device. Why some people like yourself don't get the full AT&T experience like LTE. That won't be an issue now. The essential PH-1 is an officially recognized device by AT&T.
So do I need a new sim now? I've been messing around with settings and still can't get 4G.
We know how much you like to stream, ahem, "videos", and so cellular data is mega-important. Rate this thread to express how you think the Samsung Galaxy S10's LTE performs. A higher rating indicates that it's fantastic: throughput is excellent and signal strength is top-notch.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add.
Not as good as my Moro Z Play for picking up signal in. At work most of the times I get 1 or if I'm lucky 2 bars.
The S10 (Exynos) cannot hold on to a 4G data, while the Moto Z can
Tried two different networks (O2 and Vodafone), same result
Even iPhones (seen lots of people with 7/7+) have no trouble
Keep interrupting phone calls whenever the signal is not good (worse than an S7)
4G will randomly stop working even does it displays 4G+ wit full bars.
I'd have to restart te phone to solve the problem
4G/LTE on S10+ Exynos working better than Note9 Exynos on US T-mobile. No issues so far.
Working great. Good speed results on AT&T 5GE

Did you have to change the CSC or anything? I'm getting worse signal than with my exynos s7.

No, it worked fine out of the box. TPA CSC is what I have.
Make sure to compare the actual signal value RSSI as signal bars can be misleading

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I'm at -120ish so basically no service whereas my s7 was closer to -90. I'm also using the TPA CSC and assumed that was the problem but maybe not. I'm tempted to flash an unlocked US firmware.

That's a huge difference. There is no US unlocked firmware for Exynos though. You maybe able to flash unlocked UK firmware for Exynos

I didn't think there was either but I ran into one the other day on imei dot info (can't post links yet). I have the s10e (G970F/DS) btw, I am too rough on my phones to have a curved display lol

Hmm I'd say only flash firmware from reputed sites like Samfirmware. That firmware you mention is likely mislabeled or incorrectly categorized.
S10E at least has a working fingerprint reader lol

True. Do you think it'd make a difference to flash T-Mobile firmware from another country ( like German, Chile, etc.) Or one that's unbranded/unknown CSC?

I think BTU UK unlocked should be a good start. Factory reset may also help. I'd also try different SIM card to see if that bad signal issue is limited to the SIM or T-mobile
You should also check if you live in area that has band 71 primary coverage as that is not supported on this model

I haven't tried a factory reset but T-Mobile did give me a new sim to see if that'd fix it. I checked me local coverage and I have all the bands for my area so I'll try a factory reset and maybe different firmware. BTU didn't show up on sammobile btw, but I may try the "unknown" one.
I think Exynos has multi CSC firmware and the active CSC gets decided on which SIM you put in after factory reset. But since you're on T-MOBILE USA it'll default to original CSC

Same here with Snapdragon S10 in Hong Kong.
I have s10e and after the security update of 1st April I am facing issue with the network. It's like when the network setting are on lte/3g/2g , then only 4g is working with no network for calling, it shows not registered on network. If i change it to 3g/2g then there is no 4g signal, but calling is possible. It was not there before the update.
I am using Airtel (in India)
for best signal, you need Mi9 (the flagship of the year), have both so yeah, Samsung shows very few bars in the same locations.
