[SOLVED] D838 Not Getting 4G/LTE - LG G Pro 2

My D838 is currently on D83820c-TWN
I am getting 4G/LTE on other phones when I move my simcard.
I have tried different ROMS but still cannot get 4G/LTE
Tried to edit my buildprop before and it caused a bootloop.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Yes it does. Tested on other devices and got it replaced 2 times to be sure.

I install the D83820c with Lg Tool 2014 with CSE Flash (Factory Reset),and after install works Lte without any Problem.
I am in Austria (Vienna),my Network Operator is HG Three

I tried my sim on a note 3 and i am getting 4G but no luck on my D838.
Currently on D83820c TWN
Any suggestions?

I went back to kitkat D838 10b with LG FlashTool CSE flash, because of the poor battery life of lollipop, but now there is no LTE option in network settings!?! I tried to enable it in the hidden menu, but no success. What else can I try?

don't know if this will help but when I first got 4G I had problems this fixes it for me
Also what happened in hidden menu when you try to change to global/LTE it changes back to what is was on before?
try doing a full reboot when phone turns on put 5457#*838# in to access hidden menu scroll down to network mode and select global + LTE (if that works) next scroll to the top where LTE MULTI BAND test mode is, select it and choose LTE BAND ALL and select yes (this works best for me)
After go into settings and in the network tab select tethering & networks then mobile networks and change GSM / WCDMA preferred to GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto if still not getting 4G (I don't all the time in this settings just every known and again) try changing it to LTE / CDMA this forces 4G on but you do loose signal so if you or someone trys to ring it won't work although I always get 4G when doing this.
I've attached some pictures for reference.
Sometimes LTE / CDMA sticks so I have to reboot and change setting again in hidden menu.
I hope any of this helps if you give more details ill try and help

Thanks for your help mate, I just flashed the SEA version of D83810b over the original firmware for my device, which was 6WT/CHUNGHWA TELECOM_16G(TAIWAN), and now I have 4G option in network settings. However, I can't get LTE to work on my GP2. I will try my sim card on another phone and see if the issue depends on it.

I have kept trying to get my 4G/LTE to work but still can't. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Most probably your operator uses the 800mhz frequency where you live, which our device doesn't support, I have the same issue here. My sim card works perfectly on 4g with an xperia z2, it's just the lack of that frequency in D838 that keeps you from getting LTE.

I got 4G when I first got my D838, with the same operator and simcard. When I updated via OTA, I lost 4G and can't get it back.
I tried my simcard on a note 3 and it got 4G.
I know the D838 is compatible and there is just maybe something wrong with the software after the OTA update that messed up the 4G.

Ok now you made me curious. Actually I haven't tried the 4G when I first got the phone, I just flashed the lollipop firmware and I've never been able to connect with lte, so I thought it depends on the lack of the 800mhz frequency.
If you say you got 4G right out of the box, I would like to know what keeps it from getting it back too.

Maybe you can get the frequency based where you are and what operator you use. Technically the 6th stage optimizes everything for the region

Thanks for your suggestion. I will try to look for my carrier's target operator and country then try this out.

Finally!
After a lot of trials, I finally was able to get 4G on my D838!
This is what I have done:
1. Go to hidden menu > 3845#*838#
2. Select "WCDMA-Only"
3. Select "Modem Settings"
4. Select "Network Mode"
5. Select "Automatic"
6. Yay 4G
I hope this could also help others that faced this problem.

Lost 3g and 4g

Since I flashed the new gingerbread I lost my 3g and 4g, I only have edge. I replaced my Sim card thinking that would be the reason.

Grab the all_modems_cwm.7z file and use 7zip to extract all the modems onto your SD card, that way you can swap them out to see which one works best for you.
You can also go into settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Network mode.
Make sure you are on GSM/WCDMA (auto mode), if not try WCDMA only mode, which is 4G.

Some people have reported the same issue in the main JB released thread. Seems for a few people doing full wipes and re flashing has cured it, for others nothing has.
In that case could people post their experience in this thread so we can try to identify a fix.
I'm UK tab, all stock, from ICS all stock, no wipe no 5ghz...everything else fine.

In my case the device stopped seeing 5ghz access points after flashing from stock ICS to stock JB signapore rom. Several full wipes and reflashing did not fix the problem.
Flashing the JB eRobot rom fixes the issue. Flashing back to stock JB, and the problem occurs again. I have found no solution yet.
Anyone else?

What about
6. Factory Reset after 1-5
7. Try another router
8. Ensure router uses/transmit 5 GHz only (disable 2.4 GHz)
9. Temp disable router security and test
10. Save/backup and upgrade router firmware

Already tried multiple reset variants and two different manufacturers routers that I know are both working on 5ghz as my SGS2's see them quite happily.
The simple fact is 5ghz is not working using stock JB on my UK tab, even after resets, wipes and pretty much all variants thereof. My guess is that there's a subtle difference between the UK hardware and Singapore variant hardware, could be due to emmision limits and set during manufacture as a hardware jumper or firmware mod (firmware for specific component). 5ghz worked fine on ICS so it's definitely a change issue.
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda app-developers app
We know that. We also know it's not SGS2, so don't compare apples and oranges.....
We also know it's more than likely a firmware issue....
Edit: but could be a firmware/router combination issue too (otherwise nobody with P6800 JB 4.1.2 would have it working)....
Did you try the rest of the recommendations 8, 9, 10?
Why not, and report back for the benefit of others?
That would be constructive

Had two 7.7s. After upgrade to jb of both only one had working 5GHz. No amount of wiping helped on the other. Had to restore a nandroid from the working one onto the nonworking one. Successful, with 5GHz reception on both devices. While the root cause remains unknown it is clearly a software issue.

Issues as usual
So we wanted to keep up to date, this is what happens for trying, I flashed my 7.7 (p6800) with firmware P6800DXMD3 vietnam, I never considered 5GHZ networks would stop working on jellybean. I doubt there is a simple fix anyone? I'll just live with 2.4ghz because 5ghz seems to operate similarly when I've tested it.
I did find another posting from mobility.forumsee about the note.
Samsung - Galaxy Note Wifi 5GHz Issue fix for Hong Kong
Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General - xda-developers
" If you have recently upgraded to ICS and cannot connect or see your router's 5GHz SSID, it is because Samsung used Taiwan legal channels for HK as well, You should set your router's 5GHz channle to 56, you will then see and be able to connect to your router's 5GHz channel."
Would that suggest that Vietnam and other Asian countries use different wifi channels, currently on my dual band router for 5ghz, I have 36, 40, 44, 48, I'm not sure but I tried changing the router through all the channels and none of the 5 channels are detected by the 7.7, It shows fine on other devices like the galaxy tab plus, I'm unsure which country was used on that version.
Sounds plausible/probable.
I suppose that's why it's DXMD3, meant for SE Asia, rather than XX (international).
Know idea idea why Samsung SE Asia would 'restrict' they firmware drivers though...

First I thought the issue could be caused by the choice of channels, too. But apps like "Wifi Analyzer" show in my case, that 5ghz is disabled completely on stock JB, not just some channels.

Logic says that it has to be something to do with the router....
If some have 5 GHz band working, THEN IT MUST WORK with certain routers and channels. Still, the OP has not reported any further testing like I suggested in previous posts, just to rule out any conflict between HIS 2.4/5.0 router bands, security and JB.
Users need to be more specific in their posts; router model, router bands enabled/disabled, security enabled/disabled etc etc.

I thought the same in the beginning. But at least in my case the issue is independent of any router.
On eRobot JB rom the app Wifi Analyzer gives me the option to scan at 2.4ghz or at 5ghz (and gives proper results in both cases).
On stock JB rom Wifi Analyzer only gives me the option to scan at 2.4ghz. So the app sees hardware that is not capable working on 5ghz at all and does not even give the option to scan at 5ghz.
On first sight it seems to me that it has something to do with the wifi driver. Looks like the wifi chip is not initialized correctly, or that 5ghz capability is disabled at a later point. But I don't know how this all fits together, especially given that for some users 5ghz on stock JB is working flawlessly.
(In this context I find the case of the user with two tab 7.7s interesting. One worked on 5ghz after flashing stock JB, the other one not. Then after simply copying the system from the working one to the other one via nandroid, both worked.)

Call Sprint (using a phone other than your Nexus 5) and ask them to re-provision your data. This happens quite frequently on other devices also after flashing a new ROM with Sprint service.
Just keep in mind that neither Google or Sprint have to support the custom ROM. While they may not know that you are on the custom ROM, I would just put it back to stock and see if it work first.
I found the fix. There's a flashable apn zip for sprint that got me data.

I think most of us understand the different carrier bands.
The phone itself is unlocked. So it supports GSM. The question is mostly is there a ROM that will give an equivalent support for the ROM to act like the GSM tmobile ROM

did anyone figure out how to get t mobile rom properly loaded onto verizon g2? I been working on this for a while but it doesnt even let me flash it. gives me error message could not open zip.
You can try doing this.
All models are the same hardware with some minor difference. CDMA VS GSM has nothing to do with flashing roms.
What I would do is get cloudystock rom and unzip it. Inside of it you will see a folder named variant. Get copy all those files from your variant folder and paste/replace on a tmobile rom with 7zip.
There you will have a tmobile rom with all the requirements from your model to work.
Let me know if this helps. Good luck
