I initially thought there was a change in the coding for the 4G icon. But I've been checking since I got my Note 5 and I am not getting LTE. I upgraded from a GS6 edge that had LTE everywhere, home, work, and surrounding areas. But I have yet to see the LTE signal on my Note 5. Anyone else having this issue? Or have any idea as to how to fix this?

Is this a T-Mobile branded GN5 or a different version? Have you taken it to T-Mobile and asked them to see what the deal is? Can you post a pic of your APN Settings please?
Yeah got it from T-Mobile store. Haven't spoken to T-Mobile yet, XDA is my first place to go. Also added pic, scroll capture ftw!

Sounds like a faulty LTE antenna. I'd be taking it back to the store.

I would go ahead and do a factory reset first then if you aren't getting LTE take it back. Might save you some time.

It was the Sim card. Went to T-mobile store and they explained is a known issue when upgrading to any new phones Note 5 and beyond they have more information to handle new network features.
Glad you got it worked out. If you're paying for data might as well get the most out of it

About a few times a day I lose my data connection on my N5 (reception bar turns the orange-y color in the quick settings) and the only way to reconnect is to restart the phone (going in and out of airplane mode or re-enabling data doesn't work). I'm having a hell of a time figuring what's causing this. I have tried factory resetting the phone and have compared the APNs with my girlfriends N4 and they are exactly the same. I don't think its the network (I have T-Mobile) because this has been going on for a long time. I'm trying to for similarities of when it happens and it kind of seems like when I wake it up from being in stand by but it may just seem that way. Phone calls and texts work while this happens. Anyone have any insight?

Modem = radio = GSM/Data
The radio chip in the phone has a firmware, that's what he's suggesting you could change, not your physical at-home modem/router.
I have the chinese version of the opo and i'm having issues connecting to the any 3g or 4g, i just get EDGE. I've tried cyanogenmod m9, latest nightly and colorOS which came with the phone. Has anyone had similar issues?. I've got a friend that has the same phone, same carrier, but gets 3g and 4g.
What part of the world are you in? What carrier are you on?
Are you connected to the right APN?

His SIM card should still at least support 3G. We're not sure whether or not OP lives in USA or whatnot.
He does have the Chinese version which is incapable of getting LTE speeds on U.S. carriers.

Ah so its just a carrier problem not providing 3g/4g in your house. See if you can get a signal booster or something of that sort?
I was hoping with the 30O update there would be a baseband update but there wasn't.

It's fine for now, i have wifi, I could change to a carrier that has better 4g support, i know they have a 4g tower nearby, but Australia carriers are terrible.
Thanks for the responses though.
Now i have an issue, i'm getting drop outs, not just the 3g, but my signal will just drop out. I know some people fixed this with the latest modem from m8. But i flashed it, didn't seem to change anything.
Just got my Edge and switched over from S5. Now my signal just randomly drops. Tried everything, update profile, change sim, reactivate, change roaming to home only, even went to the store. Maybe someone has a fix or the same problem before I try to get it exchange..
I am suffering through the same problem.
Ill have lte for a while and then i lose the signal completely. I had the galaxy 3 and it worked on lte just fine. Methinks the lte antenna doesnt work so good. Sometimes if i go to airplane mode and come back that works other times i reboot. Im tired of rebooting. Ive just lost the signal now trying to type this. If i switch to cdma it is much more reliable but who meeds a 1mb download speed. Iay be returning this phone soon. Such a shame. Its such a pretty phone.

What area are you in? S5 and note edge both use spark so it shouldn't be a signal issue. If you're in an area you got coverage in before, it's probably a hardware issue. Put the same SIM in the s5 and see if it works. That'll confirm it. I'm in Atlanta with plenty of lte and I've had no connectivity issues so I know for sure the edge (at least mine) works well.

Like I said, try the SIM in your old s5 if you still have it. If it works fine on there, it's probably a hardware problem with your note. Get it replaced.

Do you actually lose signal or does it just appear to be very weak? You cannot compare to an s3 as the edge runs on the Sprint Spark network. Spark works well with even one bar of signal in most places (I've gotten up to 5Mbps) and with full signal you can get 20Mbps +.
smh!!!
Ok i bought both the nexus 6 and note edge with sprint....got both in hand right now and neither phone will connect to the sprint network....after talking to tech support for a hr i was told to go to the store which im NOT doing bcuz the store reps have no clue and dont even have the phones in the store yet DUh sprint!.....so im assuming phones to new may have to wait weeks for minor software updates...... C'mon
I was having the same issue since I bought the device at the sprint store. I just kept removing and putting back the sim card till it finally stop. Anybody knows what this software update on my notifications brings?

Well, i live in goldsboro, nc. We dont have the spark network here yet that i know of. We do have 4g lte which always worked fine on my g3. On this phone it seems like i lose the signal a lot ie. Searching for service, webpage not available, sms will send when you regain service. I very rarely get more than one bar signal strength, then the lte turns light grey, then i lose signal. I can usually get it back by restarting the phone or going onto airplane mode briefly and then coming back. Ill have the signal for a few minutes and then lose it again. It was really bad last night but it doesnt seem so bad tonight. I got the phone tuesday so tomorrow is my last day for carefree return. Im not sure what to do. Has anyone else noticed this?
Thanks in advance,

In many, more developed areas, spark will work fine even with 1 bar. In some areas though, you may get connectivity issues due to this. I believe you can call customer support and they can switch you over to LTE if you wish (this will also give you back the ability to use internet while on a call). At least the guy I talked to offered it.
me too
so I have had my Sprint Edge for one day. The signal fluxuates constantly and the data works maybe 20% of the time. Called sprint and working on a replacement as we speak. Went into the store and there was a repair tech there saying he has seen 5 other Edges with same issue and thinks its not the phone but the network profiles and that sprint will release and OTA to fix it. But am returning mine for exchange just to rule out hardware issues
I ended up getting hit with it again but after installing the software update no more signal issues. Funny thing though is I cant find any info on it and it seems I'm the only person who received it.

Popped up on its own. My friend got the update too but he's still experiencing the signal loss so now I'm not sure what did it for me. The only thing else I recall doing is switching lte/cdma mode to automatic and turning on all the roaming options plus the roaming guards.

tried that on mine with customer service on the phone. Still having issue and am curentyl waiting on a replacement phone.
Its a Firmware issue
Guys I am almost positive this issue is due to a glitch in Samsungs firmware. I tested the data and was able to download over 1 megabyte per second with only one bar on 4g Spark LTE.
According to the tech support person I talked to that would not be possible on only 1 bar. (btw I stopped the test after hitting 1 Megabyte per second for those that need help converting that equals 8mbps). I was in a saturated 4g Spark network with 5 towers within spitting distance from my location and it still only showed 1 bar. I'm thinking either how the tower reads the signal strength or a bad code line shows no more then 1 bar no matter what.
Now for those having dropped data. Check the Sprint site to see the saturation for 4g Spark service, the phones are now setup to LOCK on and HOLD onto the FASTEST tower, which according to the tech who also filled me in on the way the new antennas work, can lead to what seems to be dropped service. She would recommend for individuals having this issue if Spark service is not fully activated in your area to switch over to CDMA only under settings to fix the LTE data dropping issue. BTW the Spark LTE service is apparently different then the old LTE service so those versions do not appear to work interchangeably (according to the Sprint service map).
I also noticed someone else got the new version of the firmware, which I also have and that did NOT fix anything for me. If anyone is struggling with this issue I would wait until the firmware is updated again. WHICH I hope by that point we can get flashable firmware for those of us that are rooted...???
Now for a VERY Important Fact: there will now be no way to use data while on a phone call. These phones are a single antenna model. You can either be on the phone or data... UNLESS you are making a WiFi call. That is why this is now a option. It will keep the antenna set to the data side of things and make it possible to use data for the internet at the same time.
I hope this helps.

Hi Guys,
I'm using the US Mate 9 with AT&T, a GSM provider. I noticed when I'm on a call either there is no data (Internet) available or very patchy with the screen on...
Wanted to ask you guys if this is normal and expected behavior?
Thanks!
I dont think is normal, I've seen icon change from 4g to 3g to H+ when I'm on calls but still able to open facebook,whatsapp or firefox while calling. I'm with Tmo tho.

It's because At&t doesn't allow VoLTE on the Mate 9 so when you make a call you get dropped to 4g or 3g speeds. T-Mobile allows VoLTE so data doesn't change due to a call. I run both sims in mine and it's why I keep my personal line on T-Mobile and use it's data. My At&t line is strictly for work calls.

I didn't adjust anything with my At&t sim so I don't think you should need to either. Also this is a brand new sim and number so it was never in a different phone. I know on my Axon I had to put it in my iPhone first to get it working properly but not this phone. Are you in a good coverage area?

Both At&t and T-Mobile show 4gLTE icons but At&t's drops to 4g only while in a call, T-Mobiles stays 4gLTE which verifies VoLTE only works on T-Mobile.
I believe you're correct and the Chinese variant doesnt show LTE.

Guys, thanks for all your helpful responses! Just to close the loop on the issue of *NO DATA* during calls was fixed with the check box, checked in the attachment.
Although, as shared here, it's possible that it's H+ or 3G only service, not true LTE.
Thanks!
Alternative Solution
I had the same problem, I found out that this box was already checked on my phone, What fixed it for me was checking Mobile Network -> Access Point Names> selecting "ATT Phone"
I had initially selected "ATT Nextgenphone."

I just set mine up, and can't find the option either. I just googled this problem and it appears the same thing happened on the Pixel 2.

Excellent to have Wifi Calling on Att finally on our pixels!:good:
I was wondering if wifi calling would work with at&t. If I remember right hd calling worked with the p2 with the right sim and getting it provisioned on your line but wifi calling didn't work. That only worked on phones from at&t. There were a couple places that I needed wifi calling and it came in handy. One was in a couple places at work with bad cell service and another was in a friend's home in the mountains of PA. wifi but no cell towers around. If wifi calling works at all I'll be glad.

So nothing happens when you tap Wi-Fi calling then. Bummer
Edit: we'll have to wait for custom ROMs

Wifi calling does work, I tried a test call and it worked fine. I'm glad, because I live in an area where the cell signal is very weak.

That's great that it works. I would only need it when cell is unavailable. I sold my p2xl and had an s9+ for a while. That was a mistake. It was a good phone but I need my pixel back. Thanks for the info.
If I remember right that's how all the pixels are even on Verizon.
No option to make WiFi calling preferred.
At least it is working on Att because previous ones did not.
On my Pixel 2 XL, on TMobile, I have the option to set wifi calling to preferred. My 3 had not arrived to check yet. I do not have the setting in your screenshot for the emergency address.

What service do you have?
I know on Verizon you could never make it preferred, and Att never worked.
Unless Verizon changed after I changed carriers

I am on factory unlocked

This is what we see on AT&T...we don't have the option to select calling preference.
Guys!! This is a huge win for pixels and non at&t branded phone lovers!!! Never before in the history of at&t and Android has VoWiFi worked on non at&t branded phones.. I couldn't believe my stroke of good luck when I tested it today!! Thank you thank you Google. I had switched to TMobile because of this and carried at&t as secondary to fill in the gaps.. but i may just switch back.. so happy.. also, TMobile is the only American carrier that let's you prefer wifi calling over mobile.. so no dice there.. but hey, I'll take it.. and you can always enable airplane mode and force wifi calling.
Also, I tested tonight in a poor at&t coverage area and it seemed to switch between wifi and cellular calling just fine!!

Who is your carrier? Not at&t or Verizon I suspect.

If it does for you that's great...I tried it for 24 hrs. Had no signal my whole day while work in my office. So no go for me, even with it being a lot cheaper service.
I do hope they keep improving though, for competition purposes.

Yes they do! In so many ways and areas. And they have improved so much in the last year. I travel a lot and love watching coverage and I could name dozens and dozens of new towers. But they need 100s and 100s to compete.. let's hope the Sprint/tmo merger got through. It would be awesome to have reliable competition to dumb and dumber.
