I have a s4 running stock, and it only gets 3g on verizon. It is set for lte and i have swapped sims from other 4g phones and get 3g with those sims. I get great 4g service in my home so the signal is there to be had. Got a new sim from verizon and while in the store i got 4g. Guy in store says that they have some sort of booster there since they don't get great service in the building. Now after leaving building I have only 3g again. Samsung support says i should upgrade to 5.0.1 ( currently running 4.4.2) but i am not interested in doing that. Anyone have any ideas on how or what might be going on.
baseband: 1545vrufnk1
kernal 3.4.0

thanks

Hi guys.I have simple mobile sim card (which works with T-mobile towers) and I get galaxy sii gt-i9100 (universal version). the problem is I'm getting 2g (edge) speed only, I read that you can flash your radio firmware after rooting to get HSMA+ mode then you'll have the 3g\4g internet.I already rooted my device but I don't know what to do now!
please anyone can help?
I need some help about that too, I wish this post had more attention, and replies. So I'm kinda moving it up right now.
Btw it might be impossible for us to get 4g, but I'll be happier when I get 3g instead of 2g. so, I'm looking for a solution too, I'll keep you posted if I find anything helpful.

Unfortunately there is no solution for that. I already sold out my phone and got new Galaxy s3 (T-MOBILE VERSION) from ebay for 519$ and I'm enjoying the 4G bless..if you need any further assistance I'll be more than glad to help.
So i got a verizon s3 from a friend since he updated to the s4 but im on tmobile and i was wondering if and how i could use it on the tmobile network. i have read that it is possible but i just dont know how to do it. any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
oh and ive already rooted my phone
thanks in advance!!
Search the development section for a thread titled "Set up Verizon Galaxy S3 as World GSM Phone" or another thread titled "Fully Working Verizon S3 n T-Mobile." You should only receive Edge data once it's fully working so you'll want a T-Mobile device if you want higher data speeds.

Got my Nexus 5 today. Went out of town and stoped by the at&t store and got a micro sims card. The store is in an LTE city. I could not see the signal because the Nexus 5 would not let me get pass the upgrade. After the upgrade I only got an H no LTE. When I got back home to my city only get H. I usually at least get the 4G. Is there some kind of Setting to bring up 4G. Thanks in advance.
check out the thread I posted for a simple solution

I work for AT&T and own the Nexus. From the sounds of it, the AT&T system is reading it as an HSPA only device. Believe it or not the system differentiates. Because of this, I have them using an LG G2 IMEI number.
^this is where the issue comes from. My thread discusses this
Alright, this is my first post to my recollection, so Im hoping this gets some great responses.
I own a network unlocked HTC M7, coming from Sprint. The thing is, Im in Jamaica, and im using a local service provider called Digicel. They do have 4G services, but regardless of the band I select I only get GSM. Thats the best it gets to be honest. On WiFi, Im all fine, but once it hits mobile data, I automatically get back to the days of our fore fathers.
I have done some research on my own and found that Sprint apparently provides 4G on their CDMA network. I am not very sure if this phone may have 3 radios as a result, and thats what causes this, but I needed some help. I literally just phoned support (Digicel's), who sometimes doesnt seem to have accurate information easily accessible indicated that Digicel's 4G data is available on their 1900 band. TBH, Im not very sure they are certain, and really and truly I am not either. Can I get some help with confirming if this can be used on other carriers comfortably re the radio config?
and if so, is there anything that can be done to have this use 4G on my network? I already did the *#*#4636 thing and ran through all possible network types. Still having the issue. Running lolli 5.0.1.

Good luck!
I been trying to get a Verizon Galaxy S3 (d2vzw) working on Cyanogenmod in the UK. The best I've had was on CM10.2 (using CDMA/GSM patch) when I had a reasonable phone signal but no data signal from my carrier, however I always had WiFi available.
Currently the VZW Galaxy S3 is rooted on Android 4.1.2 with baseband I535VRBMF1 with CWM Recovery where I get a lowish phone signal and a data signal, carrier EE/Orange. For most daily use it's ok, however I need to change to something more useable with a better phone signal as I'm just scraping by.
Have any European members of XDA had better results with Cyanogenmod, if so would they please share the information or at least point me in the right direction.
Many thanks
