[Q] Nexus 5 4G not working

Today I tried 4G on my Nexus 5 & Note 3. So I went somewhere that it has 4G/LTE coverage
The problem????
I am on COSMOTE GR (Greece) and tried with my Note 3 the 4G. The signal was excellent (WITH NOTE 3!!!)
On Nexus 5, with the same sim card, I couldn't receive 4G (I am on Stock Rom. Also tried with SlimKat 6.0)
Any help??

Maybe the Nexus doesn't support the LTE bands for Cosmote?

Then I don't know why it wouldn't work.. Try different radio, maybe it will help.. for me personally 4G never works reliably on my N5.

for me, lte always works reliably, i never ever see 3G or edge. speeds around 60mbps here.
in the phone settings, mobile networks, do you have lte as the preferred network?

try this..
dial *#*#4636#*#*
that will take you to hidden phone codes. chose phone info, then scroll down, youll find a type of connection that you are on, press that. choose lte only. this way it will avoid the other connections. if you do get an lte signal, change it to lte/gsm(or you wont get phone calls). if it doesnt connect to lte, then either the n5 doesnt support your carrier, or your provider
hasnt set up lte for your n5 account. your note 3, did you try the same sim card as you n5?

not your country, your provider. it could be that they space out their towers a bit further away than us providers. that would make it not as reliable.

well, your upload speed is pretty good, for h/h+. did you try what i posted on the other page, dialing the code and changing to lte only?

then its not seeing the lte signal. the sim card that you had in the note 3, is that your n5 simcard? can you try the note 3 simcard in your n5? i have a feeling that it might be your providers fault, maybe they have you entered into the system wrong. that happens, and fairly often.

so, with the n5 simcard, your note 3 is getting lte, but your n5 isnt? where did you buy your n5? is it an american version or the european version? the two versions support different lte bands.

No Data with Custom Rom

Hello. So I purchased the Photon Q and have it activated, yes, all the basics. Anyway, when I flash a cyanogenmod rom, I lose my data. Is this an issue with other photon q users? or just me? Data works perfect under the stock 4.1.2 rom, but not under cm. I'm running TWRP recovery, and yes, I'm rooted.

I assume you're on Sprint? Have you checked the APN list? (Although I didn't need to do anything to get the latest to work with data, it "just worked").
Are you using the latest version of CM as well, the 'jbbl' editions?

On cm data problems always happen. It's not that stable for CDMA users = =

Hm, been solid here. I've tested it in all sorts of conditions too - I was out to sea (but somewhat close to land) and getting a lot of roaming connections... I was even able to squeeze data out of those connections.
LTE works when I'm in cities, although I do get dropped to 3g quite a bit - I'm not sure if that's an issue with Sprint's LTE penetrating buildings or what. But I can't say that having a custom ROM has affected my data negatively - now you are on a m7, which I know those devices have moved between unified and not unified... Our unified devices, at least on my Photon Q's, has been great - no issues that I could attribute directly to software, other than maybe some weak wifi reception (like in airports) which could again be the device itself.

Well you're not really providing much detail, any logs, haven't stated if you have clean flashed....
Won't even check the APN list? I can't really help you then.

Sorry, I clean flashed the last time that I installed it. I don't have any logs, because I haven't thought to take any. I haven't checked the APN list because Since the phone is CDMA, I didn't know where to look. I will flash again and give it all another try.

Tis weird either way, I've never had to set anything up. Data always 'just worked'. If it works in stock, should work in the custom ROM's... at least it always has for me on Sprint!

That's the funny thing, That's what all of i've read on here says. But for some reason, I can't get any data. And when I flash back to stock, I have to unactivate it, then re-activate it again to get my data to work.

By "unactivate", i mean literally replace it with another phone, then re-activate it. The phone connects on Sprint's towers, however i use Kroger's i-wireless. So reactivation and phone swticthing is fairly easy.
At the moment, i am running cm11 nightly, and it appears to be working alright with data for now.

Okay @arrrghhh, now I am pretty sure you mentioned getting switched to 3g data a lot. I can't change my APN settings, the option is greyed out. How do I switch to 4g?
I'm asking because my area gets 4g when I'm on stock.

Look at your network mode. There's no "LTE", so of course you'll never see 4g as the Q is not capable of WiMax - LTE is the only "4g" network you'd see.

But GSM is the only network mode that seems to provide me data. Any option with GSM. I haven't found a LTE+GSM option

I guess try 'Global'?
I have mine set to CDMA + LTE/EvDo - as Sprint does not provide any sort of GSM service whatsoever, so I would never need to connect to a GSM network.

Okay, So I've tried LTE/CDMA (auto) after discovering that it DOESN'T USE GSM, but any option that has LTE in it doesn't seem to work. And How do I install the new msm_8960 cm11 roms? are those the ones marked jbbl?I've downloaded and will install the jbbl edition, maybe it'll fix some of the issues i've been having. I was running the "xt897" version. Speaking of, what's the difference between the xt897 and xt897c? builds?

Wait, what? Why are you using ancient builds...
You need to use the jbbl edition. The xt897/c builds are ancient and should not be used - it was when we needed separate builds for CDMA and GSM.
If you're on Sprint, you are correct - there's no GSM. The chip in the phone is only used for international roaming, if you have it enabled.

I got 4G LTE working by removing all of my APNS and using an apns-conf file from a friend with the same service, Now, however, my MMS is broken. How do I fix?

You're still on CM11? The apns-conf file CM provides should work fine.
You can try a third party app like chomp SMS, but if you're hacking up APN's/apns-conf it's not surprising that you broke MMS.

[Q] A question regarding to ATT 4G lte

Hello Everybody
I have a question regarding to ATT LTE. I bought a xperia z3 from Amazon, a US unlock version. The model number is D6603. It support ATT 4G lte perfect.
Days ago, I wanted to root my phone, and found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056
but the software does not support my build number. So I download the firmware from the thread also, which is D6603_23.0.A.2.93.
After rooted my z3, I am unable to use ATT 4G LTE anymore. I dont even have this option lists in my setting. I found a number of differences under "about phone"
my old baseband version is 8974-AAAAANAZQ-00022-21, Kernel version is 3.4.0-perf-g1b1963a-02930-g23f7791, and build number is 23.0.1.A.5.77. The new baseband version is 8974-AAAAANAZQ-00005-05, Kernel version is 3.4.0-perf-g0961cdf, and build number is 23.0.A.0.93.
I dont really know the meaning of those numbers. But I really want to use my ATT 4G LTE again. Can some one tell me how to fix it? or please send me some thread to look at. ​

You can try with flashing just baseband from your old firmware. It might work.
But backup all your stuff before doing anything.
Also check your APN settings.

Under RX Diversity Settings, I have three options, including both RX Antennas enabled (default), primary RX antenna enabled only, Secondary RX antenna enabled only. On top of that, nothing was checked.

Well then sorry mate. Your only last option to go back on your starting firmware.
And I don't use 4G because more often carrier lock the speed on same level as 3G. And it has less coverage.
Also often go from 2G (rural) to 3G in city and 4G in city center which consume hell from battery.
So I only use 2G/3G combination.. 4G for me is useless, all of this is just public beta testing (I study telematics and this is one area of study).. Truth is 4G is not ready for giving it's possibilities.. In next 5years maybe it will be ready.

Oh well, Please, dont say sorry bro. You did a lot more than I can possibly imagine. The honor is all mine!
I am currently in Japan right, so even it works, I wont know it anyway.
I found one thing particularly interesting. Under service settings, there is a option call network mode, and under it there is a option said lte_GSM_WCDMA.
I think and I believe that after I go back home and change it to lte_gsm_wcdma. It might work.
I thought about change back to my original FTF, but I will lost my root. So hard decision, right?
By the way, is there any possibility to keep my root while flash back to my old firmware version which is 23.0.1.A.5.77

Hmm... Strange. I downloaded one of the .93 distributions from here and had no issue with LTE.
Although I did almost immediately upgrade back to whatever the newer version was, choosing the "US Generic" variant in XperiFirm. So maybe I never noticed the lack of LTE.

I downloaded the "Generic Global" .93 version from http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/ftf-stock-firmwares-xperia-z3-models-t2886061 - I used that to root, but I think almost immediately used XperiFirm to go back up to whatever the latest 4.4.4 build for "US Generic" or whatever the non-branded US option was as of a few months ago (I think it was released in December?)
I never flashed a 5.0 stock firmware on my device, I've been running Omni for months. I have the LTE options in Settings and my device signal status says "LTE".

Sorry, man , I am a bit confuse. Well, I bought my phone on amazon(amazon itself is the seller, so which means that my phone is authentic US version, not some crazy thing from HK). the original build number is 23.0.1.A.5.77. The root software from xda does not support this version, and that is primary reason why I flash to 23.0.A.2.93.
But my question is how did you root your z3 with your US generic, which I remember the software did not support the build number.
sorry man, lots of question,

I flashed the Generic Global .93 build from here in order to root/backup TA/unlock.
Then, at the time I was doing unlocking/rooting, .77 was the "newest" build and there was a "US Generic" or something like that (I don't remember exactly) in XperiFirm. It's probably now a Lollipop build. XperiFirm does not appear to be able to grab old builds, but the newest US D6603 build should work. Either way, I used a .77 build that was labeled as being for the USA in XperiFirm.

Can't you just use the phone app and 'call' *#*#4636#*#* and select phone info?

In my phone that code don't work. I tried that code and a lot of differents secrets code and don't work. In my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge I haved the same problem and nobody in the threads of S6 Edge know how to do it without root.The way of using hidden menu works for me until Galaxy S5. This was the way that works for me so I posted for people with the same problem. Also this way is much faster and easier that running codes.

Well the people(including myself) use this when they have more wcdma signal than lte, the phone will select the wcdma network, that is more slow than lte, but you know you have lte signal so you can force it to use your lte internet that is fastest than wcdma.
For example in my home my phone keep changing from wcdma to lte all the time and that makes my internet super slow. My internet speed in auto mode is like 1mbs of download with full signal, when I force Lte only my signal is like one bar of signal but the internet speed increases to 25 Mbs of download
So when I don't need to make calls I force lte only to download things faster

So, on part.. I might have to say this is a little sketchy.. Only because I did this and lost my messaging number. That AT&T Number for the text messages. It disappeared when I switched. Keep an eye out for those text messages.

Unless provider has volte option in the network, it's not possible to make calls on a 4g network

its useless like tits on bull. Its only for cosmetic look only. You can flash the ATT CSC to get "LTE" icon. http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-30-t3392957...

I don't under stand. If You select LTE only via this application, You can't make a calls. Without if phone choose manually LTE, You can browse and make a calls? Can You explain to me that matter?

Hi guys I'm new to this so bear with me if you please x)
I have a month old S7 Edge that does not appear to have VoLTE, I'm guessing it has something to do with this beeing Norway and the phone for some reason is hungarian?
Seeing as this thread is about forcing LTE and my provider has VoLTE option on the network. Will forcing LTE fix my problem without making me brake the warranty conditions?
The technical support guy at the store where i bought it said that his boss might not give me a new S7 Edge or even pay to get it fixed.
I'm not what you would call wealthy so i'm kinda f***** if they suddenly say that they will fix it and I've broken warranty conditions ^^
If you think this fits better in another thread please point me in the right direction =)
thx =)

Hmm.. im gonna try this on my wife's A36 tomorrow, see if its work. If it does then i can use samsung again coz in my country the operator give 10GB of bonus only in 4G network. But in some area 4G is bad :v I had to use lenovo coz its able to 4G only.

thanks for the app

Unable to send SMS

I am on Verizon and haven't had any issues in months but I started receiving this error earlier tonight. I can receive a message just fine. I have rebooted twice. Anyone else seeing anything? Stock unrooted with latest OTA. It happens with any SMS app.

We have had a lot of issues on Verizon but have not heard much from enough people, especially from the ones running pure stock. We have been having a lost signal issue where we get a slash through our network bars after a reboot, mostly rooted users after flashing something. I am hoping your issue is just a bad SIM card. But there are known issues with Verizon on this phone, I been waiting for more stock users to report anything. I don't have much advice except I would stay stock if this is the worst of your issues and maybe try getting a new SIM. I had this issue on my HTC 10 and a new SIM fixed it. Good luck buddy.

I registered just so I could say that I too have this same problem. I did the update and now I cant send text messages. I still receive them though.

I've been pure stock since June 9th. Had quite a few little issues to work through to get SMS MMS data and calling to work throughout the first month or so after launch.
May I ask what your Network mode and APN settings are?
Sent from my HTC U11 using XDA Labs

I am stock and have had no issues since that first update that fixed MMS. All settings are default . It worked early yesterday and then just stopped for no reason. This is the first time i have seen any errors, even before when there were issues, there were no errors. My network mode is GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto, APN is vzwinternet with default settings.

Please keep us updated on your experience as we don't have many stock users report here. If any other stock users have had issues or have not had issues we would like to hear from them as well. This Verizon issue has been a mess.

Factory Reset seems to have done the trick. Now to spend the rest of the day setting things back up.

I am all stock as well, and have the unlocked version on Verizon. I have had this phone since it was released with no issues. There was an update install that happened a few days ago and that is when all the problems seem to have happened.
I get that same error screen.

That's good to hear. So how many months have you been using the stock U11 on Verizon without any other issues? This is good info I been wanting to hear about.

I just did a reset too, and now I am able to send SMS messages as well.

And you are only running with LTE band 13. Never any signal issues or slow data speed? And if you don't mind, what area do you live?

Yes only band 13. No issues but sometimes it can get slow in congested areas. I live outside of Charlotte and work in uptown.

Same here. Only LTE band 13 and middle of Nebraska. I have an hr commute to work through rural Nebraska and stay connected to LTE about 85% of the time according to the Open Signal app. The places I loose service is where my old original HTC One would drop down to 1X service. I have 4G LTE in places where my old phone would only have 3G, but the 4G isn't as strong of a signal as the 3G was. There is still enough to make a phone call though.

Thanks a lot guy's, I was having a great experience with only band 13 on stock I had no complaints. But your input kinda confirms what I have suspected, it's probably best to stay on stock with this phone on Verizon. It is very finnicky with Verizon, Verizon does not play nice with unlocked phones outside of their network unless you are Google or Apple with an agreement with Verizon. I had to send mine in for warranty repair, I hope I get it fixed with Verizon signal working.

I'm running pure stock and have had two major issues with this phone on vsw, 1st was about on October 3rd where after losing service in the plant I work in, service never came back unless I put in an att sim card or factory reset the phone. The factory reset worked then but took 2 days to get everything dialed back in.
Now I have this EXACT issue. I can receive sms, I can receive mms, I can send mms, but I cannot send sms.
are there some settings we can change inside the apn to make this work?
This issue again cropped up after losing service inside the plant and when I tried to go outside to get it back, this happens.
