I originally bought the h950 version unlocked and used it with tmobile. I was able to get 4g lte. After I updated the rom I see an overall decreased signal with only very rarely connecting to 4g lte. I already removed the claro cust folder, changed the build prop to 1 and 10 and am on the tmobile fast apn. What am I doing wrong and how do I fix my phone?

About a month ago I was in an LTE area and browsing xda and noticed a radio update so wanting the latest version I immediately flashed it. I noticed on rebooting that my lte wasn't working and I thought that the settings had just been corrupted but after a full re flash of the system and the modem I still can't get LTE in an area where other 4G phones can. However my HSPA+ works fine pulling 20mbps next to a cell tower.
Wondering if anyone can help?
Network details:
Three UK Lte bands 3/20
Phone
Nexus 5 D821UK
Why don't you flash the old radio on which LTE worked fine?

I did, still no change. I thought that would be the solution too. I might be onto something but not sure? On the APN settings does having the bearer set to LTE make a difference, I never noticed before but noticed that it wasn't set now.
Title says it all.
I got an LG G2 D801 from Videotron(Which is in fact formated and hardwared all like the canadian D803) and I installed a custom ROM (CloudyG3 1.1).
Then I'm having problems with the network dropping every here and there. I'm using a sim-unlocked LG G2 which comes from a carrier that doesn't have LTE and I'm now using it with LTE on Virgin Mobile Canada(Bell's network). I don't know if my network dropping problem comes from using LTE when the phone wasn't intended to, but doesn't seem so because even when I've left it to CDMA/GSM only it was still dropping.
I've read that I need to change the build.prop for it to work flawlessly on another network, for LTE and stability.
So, now it's as follow:
lines from cloudyg3 stock build.prop
ro.product.name=g3_global_com
ro.build.target_operator=GLOBAL
ro.build.target_country=COM
to lines of carrier build.prop
for t-mobile d801:
ro.product.name=g2_tmo_us
ro.build.target_operator=TMO or tmo
ro.build.target_country=US
So for Virgin Mobile Canada, would it be VMC? Or since it's Bell network, should it be BLC or BEL? So is it safe if I change it as follow:
ro.product.name=g2_vmc_ca
ro.build.target_operator=VMC
ro.build.target_country=CA
Or coult it brick my device? How can I backup the build.prop?
I also changed the following setting in build.prop following people recommendations and I sucessfully got my network setting to stay on WCDMA/GSM/LTE auto even after reboots but only a short time, now it sometimes returns to WCDMA/GSM only.
ro.telephony.default_network=11(Was 9 by default)
Also and finally, I have the two following lines that are one after the other one in my build prop editor:
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0
Should these two be at 1 to activate LTE on my device? Or shouldn't there only be one of these lines?
How can I make my phone work without problem on Bell's LTE Network? Even tho my phone shows up 4G when I manually activate it, the speed test seems to show it's still capped at 42mbps hspa+ speeds, but it's still faster than when I leave it to WCDMA/GSM.
Hello guys
I tried searching for this problem but got nothing that would help, so am posting here.
Issue:
I recently bought LG G3 from someone. The phone is unlocked to work on all networks (AT&T branding on the rom exists though). I am using it outside of USA and it works fine. However I am unable to get 4G speed on my 4G enabled sim. I tried this sim on other phones, and other sims on mine. It is evident that it's my phone that is not supporting the 4G speed, despite showing the 4G logo up top, when data is enabled.
Things I've checked:
I have checked the bands (1800) that my model support and verified it with my network to confirm that it should run their 4G service.
The phone is not rooted.
The sim is functional and has no lock on it.
Checked with hardware checker apps to confirm that my phones supports these bands.
I am not sure if it should root it, or what. I would really appreciate your guidance on the matter.
you need u-sim and 4g data plan for make 4g work, check if u have all of this.
Hello
Yup, as mentioned in the details, I all of that.
Make sure ure apn is for lte or 4g i got stuck with a old apn from my provider once and only edge speeds
I purchased the US model for the warranty and just flashed the UK firmware from XperiFirm so now I have the fingerprint sensor. My issue is now I can only get 4g / H+ to show and I'm getting speeds of about 5 Mbps. I switched from my HTC M8 and it was getting lte all the time with 60+ Mbps. I'm assuming it's due to the uk firmware so does anyone know how to get both to work? Thanks.
Shouldn't be UK firmware, check apn. Also, if you're AT&T and you gave them your new IMEI, it most likely will be provisioned as a 3G device and not connect to LTE
Hi,
I use my international variant S7(sm-g930f) on the ATT network, and they notified me that my phone will not work on their network in February 2022 because they are shutting down 3g in my area. They say my phone will not work on hd voice.
Two things I notice is that my phone does have 4g lte, and the ATT variant S7(SM-G930A) will still work.
Is it possible to make my phone still work on their network by installing ATT variant firmware?
Thanks
