Hey people,
So this is a pretty specific problem, maybe someone has experienced it or can figure it out.
I can't seem to get my 4g working on my nexus 5. I've tried in the middle of Melbourne city and I get nothing even though I used to get plenty of signal on my S3 with LTE. I called Virgin mobile (my carrier) and they couldn't figure it out (typical). They said 4g was activated on their end and that all my APN settings seemed correct. But still no 4g
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hmmm, I'm on T-mobile, so I don't know for sure if there's any similarity, but when I first popped a new SIM card into my nexus 5, I wasn't getting LTE right away. I ended up going into the network settings and playing around with the Network Mode (switching to 3g and then back to LTE), as well as reloading the network operators. After a couple minutes of doing that it clicked and everything has been fine since then.

For anyone who's interested, the tech team at virgin were able to sort it out. I'll post a link to their support pages:
https://community.virginmobile.com....et-4g-working/m-p/23753/highlight/false#M4235
Edit: that should be need aome help BEFORE an FXZ...
I've mentioned this in a few threads and nobody else seems to have the same problem...
Ever since rooting and updating to 4.4 I have not been able to send an MMS with WiFi enabled...the phone will not kick over to 4g to send the message...
- If I turn WiFi off they send fine
- I can receive them fine with WiFi on or off no problem...
I have not don't a factory reset, but this seems like it would be a system issue which a factory reset won't help...I don't want to FXZ because I'll lose root...but its becoming annoying to deal with...
So hopefully SOMEONE can help me lol

I have two suggestions. Try switching from Global to LTE/CDMA. If that doesn't work try to send one with your ad blocker disabled, assuming you use one. Seems strange but some people on Verizon forums say it solved the same issue you describe on the S4.
Also wondering if you use the LTE OnOff app and set it to CDMA (auto) if it would send. Maybe you have low 4G signal at home? I have low signal at my home but my phone always finds the 4G signal. However it's rare I can get any data from it. I get better reception with 3G. I know you said it sends fine over 4G with wifi off but might be worth experimenting with.

Hallelujah!
I had already tried switching the network off global...4g signal is fine at home...
BUT...it was the ad blocker! Switched it off and bam! MMS sends...now...to try and figure out what is blocking mms on WiFi...
Can't even begin to explain how much I appreciate your help!!

Hi everyone.
I'm having a strange issue with my internet connection. The phone connects to 3G fine, but whenever a go into a zone with no or bad 3G coverage (at work for example) and the phone switches to 2G, it'll sometimes stay in 2G even after going into a good 3G coverage area (at home). It doesn't happen every time, but happens a lot. The only way to make it switch back to 3G is by forcing "WCDMA only" through the *#*#4636#*#* menu. I could just leave it there, but then I'd have no connection at all when I'm at work, so I switch it back to "GSM auto (PRL)".
Usually, when the phone parks in EDGE, the network settings don't change, it stays in "GSM auto (PRL)" but it just won't switch to H. Today, though, it switched to "GSM only" by itself, which it had never done before.
I had this same issue with my previous phone (Huawei ascend P6), so I thought that it was probably a problem with the SIM card, so I asked for a new one but nothing changed.
I've seen a few posts regarding similar issues but most of them are very old and none of them have been very helpful. I hope someone can give me a hand here.
I have a Nexus 5 running Android 5.0 - No root
Thanks.
My phone sometimes gets stuck in 3g instead of handing off to LTE. I just toggle airplane mode on and off and it immediately goes to LTE. I know it's not a fix, but it is a pretty quick way to get your data back.
Data connectivity issues are by far the most irritating, considering how much it costs to have a device like this...

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately that doesn't work for me. The only way is through the #*#*4363*#*# menu.
That sucks man.
I'm not sure there is a fix for this. Other than Google fixing it in the baseband. You would think that if the problem were in the source code that this would have been resolved by some of the devs here on XDA. I have had these problems for a few years, and on other devices as well.
I guess I'll have to live with it. Thanks anyway, man.

Hi guys, this is my first post so please be easy on me. I have an unlocked Sprint Note5 that I use on Tmobile network right now. I added the 'fast. t-mobile.com' APN and have mobile network working. BUT ONLY 3G!! The fastest I've gotten so far is about 10 Mbps or so, and usually it's just 2-3 Mbps.
My question: is there a way for me to get LTE on this device with Tmobile? Or it's hardware/software impossible? For the simple reason of Samsung Pay, I'd rather not root my phone. The Samsung Pay has given A LOT promotions so far and I prefer to keep it.

I was in this same predicament. You have to choose LTE.
What worked for me was choosing LTE/CDMA mode from Network Mode and then when setting up the APN, there should be a section at the bottom that says 'Bearer'. Click that and choose LTE. After that LTE started working for me. You should also be able to switch to Automatic Network Mode after this.
so is the phone already unlock
OMG, it worked like magic!! Who would know to choose LTE/CDMA knowing that Tmobile uses GSM. Many many thanks!! All of sudden I'm getting ~50 Mbps v.s. the 2 Mbps 3G speed. This is NICE!

I bought the phone at full price at Best Buy and it took me a while fighting with Sprint to get it unlocked (I was with Sprint at the time even). According to their unlock policy posted online, the phone should be automatically unlocked already if bought at full price. They honored that but it just took forever and so many departments to get it done eventually. You'd have to be tenacious about it. I plan to do a factory reset with tmobile sim in to get rid of all the Sprint bloatware.

Hi everybody, also my first message here.
I got the same problem, but a little worse. I bought a SM N920P unlocked by mistake (from ebay) as I didn`t know that Sprint was CDMA. I live in Brazil and there`s only GSM carriers. It works here for voice and data but can only get 3G (up to 8mbps) while my other phone (moto e 4G) goes up to 30 mbps. And if I choose LTE/CDMA it goes offline .
And worse, it always trying to activate and receiving the message 'activation not completed'.
I wonder if I root it could it be turned from N920P into N920i or any other.... is it possible?

Have you figured this out yet? For me, you had to choose LTE from the "Bearer" setting in the APN settings. Not only Network Mode.
I got the same problem, now im LTE, my data is normal, but when i mannaged to make a call, it says sim error or no sim...
Can someone help me fix this problem?

Hey I'm on Verizon note 5, and I haven't found a fix yet. However, u can follow my fix here.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3280342
last post in the thread. I've found a way to enable LTE, until a phone call is made, then u need to switch back to cdma/LTE until LTE pops up, then switch it back to global. It's a solution, but kind of sucks.

fix for all your issues.
This is the fix that worked for me but, you need to have your MSL code for the phone...everything works for me LTE MMS everything.
youtube{dot}com/watch?v=5tBeKAGkc1Y
As far as to remove hands free activation..your phone needs to be rooted and follow this guide since this method worked for me.
youtube{dot}com/watch?v=-SEVcT9FJvw
You need to put it back to auto after you get lte to work. This allows it to switch between the two when you are making calls or online. If you keep it in lte/cdma, your gsm carrier will not wotk.
This worked for perfectly for me! Thanks foruonlyfrom007 for the advice to set it to automatic. Now i have LTE and can make calls with no issues! And by the way all you have to do is download package disabler from playstore to stop the activation, no root necessary

Yes I was able to get mms working perfectly simply by adding port 80 as the mms port.
My only problem now is that mms only works when I am not connected to wifi. If I receive any mms I have to disconnect from wifi and then tap it to receive it.
If anyone knows how to make mms work with wifi too, please comment and add @textbook.

Hello from Bulgaria.Some one have had a problem with 4g network.Samsung S7 when he was lte \ 3g \ 2g after 30-40 minutes , scope disappears and receives a missed call notification.The problem gone after restart the device and after 30-40 minutes is same situation.If a phone is an 3g\2g no problems.
Sorry for my bad english.
Same here
My cousin bought an S7 Edge, but it had the same problems as listed. She then proceeded to change the phone, yet the other S7 Edge had the same problem. What could be the solution to this problem, and what caused it?

Hi!
Go to settings and find your APN-settings. Remove IPv6 and save it. Then everything should work fine.
I'm having the same problem. I'm sitting beside my friend with his ip6s+ and he's not having trouble connecting with the lte. just saying that this might not be just a network problem.
I've read about multiple people, including me having this issue, for some the APN IPv4 switch seems to work, but not for everyone. So what is this? Is it related to the phone hardware or software? Or is it a network problem? And will it be fixed? As this is starting to irritate me a bit..
Many People in my country (indonesia) is having similar problem. The signal somehow stuck in 3g. Forcing it to use LTE only using the app "4G LTE Switch) makes the signal gone, emergency only mode. Only a reboot would bring 4g back.
However it only acts up when using one specific mobile provider (telkomsel). Switching to my second sim, also by the same provider, didnt help. But if I switched to another provider, the problem doesnt happen.
Widespread issue in Germany as well. It's carrier independent. Had to exchange one unit. The new S7 Edge I got works fine so far, but has a pink hue on the display. Samsung QA! -.-
Any solutions or updates?
Solved?!
Hi,
I had the same problem in bulgaria with telenor.
Yesterday i got an update on my s7 edge to XXU1APCH and it seems to solve it.
This night it stayed connected. Normally i had the no service available in the morning.
Anybody else see the same?

Downloaded bulgarian firmware,, XXU1APC8 is the only one available. Tried to check for update, nothing yet to xxu1apch...
Update:
Emailed Indonesian Samsung Support, they came up with a temporary solution:
go to phone, dial *#9900#
select debug level disable/low
change to mid
wait for phone to reboot.
2 hours past no signal lost yet
update: 3rd hour signal gone again
hi,
has anyone found a solution for the problem above?
in my case I have really slow internet (mobile data) on 2,3 or 4G, it's like it freezes when I try to open a page
when I connect to 4G it maybe works for a second and then nothing else, it's like 2G, very slow (wifi works normal)
can it be hardware problem? I already cleared cache and reset the phone, but it's still the same..
At me the phone can not change back to 2G from LTE, if 3G network is unavailable.
If I use LTE/3G/2G option and somewhere is not 3G network I can't receive or make voice calls.
Phone only works with 3G/2G option in network mode.
But in this case I only can use edge if somewhere only 2G and 4G networks are available.
If I use LTE network, the phone doesn't receive incoming calls.
I bought my samsung s7 gold one month ago in Lebanon (Middle East). I faced exactly the same problem, I couldn't receive any phone calls. Went to the store and they told me to switch from LTE/4G to 3G. Now my phone is always on 3G and working ok so far. But I can't put it on 4G !!!
get new simcard will fixed problem
Hi, is there a solution to this?
got info that there is a patching from samsung for this issue but since i am using custom rom, i cannot confirm this.
anyone has any update?
Same problem! I'm from Mexico and i just bought my pink s7 Edge on sunday, i've been going everyday to the carrier store and yesterday they finally gave me another one but im having the same issue! I can't take it anymore i don't know what should I do Maybe all the pink ones have the same problem? They have already changed my SIM Card, i have tried with another one and it still happens
This sounds very similar to the LTE problem on the Nexus 6P I wonder if it is actually the same problem.
