Hi there..
All of you masters out there. I just jumped from an iphone to s4. And got this S4-SGH M919V from WIND Canada.
I am a newbee to Android. Now I have been searching if there is a way to enable LTE in my S4. I am facing the exact same problem as my friend posted above. I have tried enabling LTE through ×#2263# command. It does show an esterik infront of LTE bands once selected butttttt I cant make calls.
Now I think this is happening because Wind model of S4 which I have does not support the LTE band frequencies...
My question is if there anyway I can flash the modem firmware from T-mobile which apparently has all the LTE bands in it????
Will that enable LTE in my S4??
P.S I have not rooted or done anything yet with the phone. Just got it unlocked through Wind mobile.
Phone details are as folows..
Wind S4.
Device name : SGH M919V
Baseband : M919VVLUAMG1.
I am currently using wind mobile sim card with 4g speed on it.
I really need this LTE enabled. Because when I put a Bell sim in my phone. It connects data with 3g. Its not showing LTE at all. And when I tried forcing LTE with bell sim inserted, the LTE works fine but I lose the calls.
I would greately appreciate any guidence here. Thank you.

Hello
I apologize now, i have searched but maybe im looking for the wrong answer
I have just bought a nexus s and rooted it via a great guide on here that works for all nexus s's the only problem i am having is now trying to find out what model i have as i bought it off ebay.
under the battery it says GT I9020
but with the A and T available i dunno which one i have.
I will provide more info if required but i dunno which one i have so i can flash the more up to date OTA (ie 2.3.5 + 6)
I apologize again and thank you for help in advance
Regards
Matt
Which carrier, can use 3G?
If ATT and 3G - a
ATT and no 3G - t
TMo 3G - t
TMo no 3G - a
Compare frequencies from your carrier with ATT/TMo if not in US.

ok so as i see it someone correct me if i am wrong
i have 3 g but i am in uk so
AT&T 3G = 850/1900Mhz
TMobile 3G = 1700/2100Mhz
I am on Three UK and they support 850/2100Mhz
Mock me if i am wrong but i am still confused to which model i have an A or a T
:-(
Check gsmarena.com
Att has 850-1900-2100
Tmo has 900-1700-2100
I hope this helps.
Can u take a picture of the model number in the back. Out of curiosity I wanna see how did that happen
Still both networks support 3G 2100Mhz and after checking what aerial mast is in my area with the network you guessed it its a 2100Mhz so i still have no idea on which model number i have :-(
someone give me a clue!
You have the at&t model. Even though they both have 2100mhz, Tmobile uses there 2100mhz specifically for the upload portion of HSPA+ while the 1700mhz is used specifically for the download portion, without both bands then your phone (any HSPA phone) will not register with Tmobile 3/4G network.

This may seem a dumb question but here it goes anyways. I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus S that was on Rodgers with the following info:
V. 4.1.2 ......i9020AUCKF1......Build JZ054K. When i insert my Mobilicity sim card, it doesnt connect to their network. The sim works fine on other phone. Is there a way to flash or change some setting on the phone to make it connect. Thanks very kindly.

Rogers Nexus S does not support Wind/Mobi frequency (1700 AWS on HSPA). Model i9020A is what rogers carries whereas i9020T is the model compatible with Wind/Mobilicity.
p.s. it's spelled Rogers not Rodgers; no idea how someone mispels that when the brand is basically everywhere in Canada.
Cheers.
They are different frequencies and won't support eachother.
Rogers phone's won't work with Mobilicity/Wind sims, and wind/mobilicity sim cards will only work on rogers' 2g network (no data).
This applies even if the phones are unlocked. Only way a rogers phone can work on mobilicity is if it's a penta band factory unlocked phone, but the Nexus S isn't. Some Galaxy Nexus are but you have to confirm before buying.
You should now resell the phone and buy one that's originally from Wind/Mobilicity and make sure it's unlocked. Then it will work.
Hi there.
I bought this S4 from wind mobile(Canada)
Model SGH M919V
Baseband M919VVLUAMG1
I got it unlocked through wind by paying them 10 dollars to use on BEĹL LTE network.
Problem is I get only 3g speed with bell. So no LTE mode to enable in Network settings either.
Please somebody help. I want to make it LTE compatible so that I can use bell lte speed.

I have an unlocked Verizon LG G4 VS986, I have an AT&T sim card in it and can make and receive calls and texts just fine. I also have internet but it's showing the H symbol and an up and down arrow below it. I have speed tested it in many places including my house and it is slower than My At&t s6 edge was while using the data. I checked a bunch of places and the APN settings seem to be correct. Why am I not getting 4g or lte speeds when I was in the same places with my At&t branded S6 Edge? Can anybody help me atleast get hspca or lte?
Thanks
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Unfortunately Verizon uses a different LTE band than other carriers. Their hardware often only supports that band. You can see if other users here can help, http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help There probably are as this is a common question regarding Verizon hardware on the AT&T network.
So I bought this Samsung Galaxy S6 Duos (Unlocked) [SM-G920FD] from Swappa but can't seem to get it work with T-Mobile at all! I'm hardly getting any bars plus network keeps dropping off. Funny thing is I live in a T-Mo zone, my other phones (running on T-Mo) work without any issues. No Problem with LTE either.
I'm super frustrated and donno what to do anymore.
What apn setting do I need to use? I will really appreciate it if anyone can kindly help me out with detailed instructions, since I'm a such a dumbo!
Thanks in advance

Duos g920FD is same geographical version as international g920F (except it is single SIM), same 3g and LTE freqs.
There is a T - Mobile version for s6 (g920T), only single sim, there is not duos t - mobile version.
It means probably your carrier is using 3G 1700MHz freq on your zone, the only additional frequency that g920T has and g920F/FD hasn't. Both versions have same LTE freqs except F/FD versions has 3 more LTE frequencies available, because this you have not problems with LTE.
Check with your carrier if they are using 1700MHz 3G band and if so, sorry, you should change any of your carrier or your phone, or force GSM connections. Or maybe you can also configure your duos s6 using a non T-Mobile SIM for data 3G/LTE, and your T-moblie SIM as 2G (GSM) only voice/SMS.
