Explain more? What do you mean by 3g not working?
The D850 stock firmware has those options locked out so it's on the default of 2g/3g/LTE.
Make sure your APNs are set correctly. Is the phone on AT&T?

Nope, I'm outside the USA, I had D850 before and never had problem switching networks, but I can't seem to enable WCDMA, its only working on GSM network mode.

If you had a D850 stock you where never able to change that.. If you ran a custom ROM then you could had.
How do you know its only working on gsm network mode? What does data icon look like? Does it show E or 4G? Causd AT&T calls 3G 4G

It shows just E, on my previous D850, it used to show H. Now I got it pre rooted from someone and it had WCDMA option available, but when I selected WCDMA, my network signals disappeared so I flashed official Kitkat using ToT and now back to square one

Well that would only mean that the phone is NOT compatible with 3G in your area/country, Your carrier, OR your APN

Like I said so your 100% sure you had a D850 though? This would rely on your carrier or sim card if the phone was indeed a D850 and worked before.

Yes I'm dead sure man. This is the strangest thing happening first time ever. I just went to hidden menu 3485#*850# and even tried RAT Selection from LTE menu and selected WCDMA or WCDMA/LTE. 3G worked for like 30 secs and then again signals dropped.

That sounds more like an APN or carrier problem if its doing that, That is odd though.
Have you tried calling up your carrier?

If you have a stock rooted ROM, the work around to unlock the network selection menu on AT&T D850 is to edit your build.prop file. Under ro.build.target_operator, you want to change AT&T to OPEN.
I have the same problem, when I put the sim in a different phone 3G works but only shows E when I put it back in my D850. I have tried everything around but nothing. When you put the phone on 3G only the network goes off and can't connect until you switch back to gsm/wcdma auto.
Any help guys.
Thanks

I have the same problem, i was flashing diferents radios, but i only get it on the edge network, my provider works on 1900Mhz UMTS and the tp2 works on 2100Mhz. I was wondering that we can get it working with a ''custom'' radio.

My OPO is the Chinese Version and it's running cm11 nightly now.
I have done a lot of research to fix that problem nut none of them worked.
Here is the problem:
I can only use H+, it just does't show 4G or Lte icon. I tried to swich the APN from Tmobile Lte to
Tmobile Lte Ivp6. And dialed *#*#4636#*#* to change the network to Lte/GSM auto.
But still didn't work.
Could someone help me out? I really appreciate it.

+1 to what Coug76 said. You'd have to unlock the LTE bands yourself as the Chinese OPO does not support T-Mobile 4G LTE. If you unlock it, then you can make them compatible.
i have problem with my data connection. when i set the preferred network to WCDMA only and LTE only. my phone has no signal at all. i have a strong 3G connection on my other phones.
is it a baseband problem?
if it is. how to flash the correct baseband for my F350L?
or this maybe a hardware problem?

I see that you are from Manila and using a F350L please check supported bands by your network and the supported bands of F350L if they are compatible.
i did check it and it is same bands use here. there are f350L users here with no problems using their 3G connection.
My F350L is LTE-8 other F350L are LTE-A. I suspect that this two have different band
I am having the same Problem up here in Ohio
No matter what I try I can not seem to get this phone to do anything besides just G I am running the F350S on AT&T
Please look in Dialer with 5457#*350# and activate your Bands
Still no dice

Hi folks, I am Nigerian and I use an LG G Pro (D838). Some days back i noticed that i had no network on my phone so I tried inserting another sim into the device and still got the same result but other devices around had network coverage. I changed the network mode to GSM only and got 2G but WCDMA only gives me nothing. I have tried other sims on GSM only mode and got 2G but when i change the mode to WCDMA only, i get nothing at all. Have also put it to GSM/WCDMA auto but keeps giving me just 2G network only. I have even had to downgrade the OS from android 5.0.1 to 4.4.2 as suggested by a friend and still got the same issue. Please, what should i do??????
Same problem overhere Lg g pro 2 though F350k
I have the same problem in Holland. I have the F350k variant) 3G is in Holland 900/2100. The phone has despite of the advertisement text !!! by selling (900/2100) 850/1900/2100. The 2100 band is the same so should work.
Tried a lot. By the way last software and Androi 5.0.1.
The Sim is not the problem, the APN setting not, ........
any suggestions?
Could it be somewhere oleh software??????

Hello, I am from Nigeria.
I bought my LG D838 on eBay in May 2015 and was quite impressed with the performance but my pride and happiness was short lived. I woke up one morning in December 2015, and noticed I didn't have any cell reception. I checked with my siblings and I seemed to be the only one who had no cell reception on the same network as theirs.
I swapped SIMS of other networks into my phone but still to no avail but funny thing was that whenever I change network mode to 2G only, I get reception but switching back to 3G only mode gave me nothing at all...this happened a few days after I updated the OS with a 50MB patch file using OTA as prompted. I have been writing to LG since then but no reply and it has frustrated me so much as I bought this phone for about USD 398 and didn't even get to use it up to a year. I managed it on 2G while trying to contact LG about it until the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth stopped responding also. I need the NV and QCN backup file for this phone in order to get it running again…I would really love to see this beauty run again. Please help me out.
You can contact me or send the file to [email protected]. I am open to suggestions.
Thanks in anticipation.

verify that you are in a location that gets a good signal and that it says you get 4g lte data. then goto connection settings>mobile networks and tap on network mode and choose the option in the screenshot. if it doesnt change do a factory reset. if that fails either get the stock rom from sammobile and flash it with odin or call samsung for a replacement. also verify that theres no upgrades or problems in your area by calling customer care and that your house doesnt limit your signal. my house sometimes limits mine due to it being metal all around. in that case putting your phone in a window fixes it. if you want to avoid that contact tmobile to get a signal booster for your house. update: in the *#2263# menu make sure to choose reset on both LTE and WCDMA in disable band.

Have you checked which bands your network supports against the bands your device supports?
You may have to open the network settings and modify the bands if possible.
Also which firmware are you running, you may need to flash the modem from the orange firmware?

Just got a S8+ from my brother and was having some troubles with it (can text/use data but not recieve/make calls) and found out that the cause was because the phone supported the 4G LTE band of my carrier but not the 3G band which is what my carrier uses for calls.
So how screwed am I? is there anything I can do to fix this?

Try in settings - connections - mobile networks and change network mode to 2g/3g or 3g mode and see if that works.
Note: I am still on nougat so settimgs location may be slightly different on oreo.

i've tried it and it didn't work as the specific model phone I have does not support the 3G band of my carrier (Freedom Mobile) so I can't connect to any of my carriers bands aside from the 4g LTE one

Is this your model

If so I would get in contact with your provider and see if is compatible with there network frequencies. apart from changing providers I am not sure what you can do.
If I've done my research properly freedom mobile is Canadian region apparently there are to modes home and away have you tried the away mode

yes that is my phone
i think away might actually work really well, how would i force it to only use away/roaming?
okay this is weird, so i turned roaming on, connected to a different carriers network (rogers) and i can text and data fine but still cannot make or recieve calls on a AWAY network....? does this mean it shouldn't be a network band problem?
it shouldnt be my sim card as my sim card works fine on my older phone fine (s7E) and i JUST got it replaced my the warranty service (to fix this problem, which it didnt). It shouldn't be the phone either as my brother put his sim back in the phone and he can make calls fine....... what is wrong here?
IT WORKED THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
changing to rogers did not work (not sure why? maybe they use the same band is freedom)
however afterwards i changed to telus and i got calls!!

If you mean upgrade to Oreo I do have some minor issues at the moment nothing really major for me to worry about if I do upgrade. To save going way off topic here might be better to start a new thread or I could pm you if you like.
