You need to find out what lte bands your carrier uses. And make sure they are comptible with the sprint varients lte bands.

If what I've read is correct, Sprint Note 5s have the same hardware and radio band capability as the international version. So a hack or something should be possible. But how or what is way beyond me.

[Q] LG G2 3G can't activate pls help me

i have LG G2 D801 but whenever i activate Mobile Data connection its still on Edge while 3G is available i can't use 3G what i can do pls help me its my request to all experts
thanks in advance
With the D801 you can select the network mode under Settings -> Tethering & networks -> Mobile networks -> Network mode. There should be 4 options:
GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto
GSM/WCDMA auto
WCDMA only
GSM only
If both GSM and WCDMA are avalable and you are in one of the auto modes and the phone uses GSM (maybe because the WCDMA signal is weak) you can select WCDMA only.

thanks again for u r quick reply
my carrier is mobilink... im from pakistan
What frequencies does you carrier use for 3G? According to LG the D801 does 1, 2, 4 and 5, which according to Wikipedia are 2100, 1900, 1700 and 850MHz.
http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-D801-g2/technical-specifications
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands
Another possibility is that your SIM card is only provisioned for 2G. I had that happen to me in the opposite way with H2O which only allowed access to the WCDMA network but not the GSM (before they added LTE). You may want to contact Mobilink and request a different SIM card.
can any one help me please.... any expert please help me
i insert my SIM card in my Galaxy Note in my Galaxy Note 3G working fine... but when i insert that SIM card in my LG G2 D801 3G not working please help me bro please
i will buy you a beer
It might be like ATT here in the states where you must notify the provider of the phone IMEI if you want 4g before they can provision it.
Looks like Mobilnk is uses 2100, so it should work.

4G/LTE Pakistani Band 3 1800 isnt present in D801.
So you can get 3G HSPA+ only on 2100MHz...
Check APN settings
Resolved for me
My LG G2 had same problem. Changing DNS or modifying APN not resolve it.
I found reason of problem. After several ROM update, my LG G2 IMEI may be damaged. If you see in Cellular Network → Network Operator, these’s only one record for each operator.
I did backup my imei 2 years ago, now I restore it using LG backup IMEI app. After restore my IMEI, i see two same row operator’name in Network Operator. I can connect 3G again after several months without 3G.
If you did not backup IMEI, you can folowing instructions in forums to restore IMEI. Please googling !

Hi guys recently reliance jio in india launched new 4g service with 4 GB daily free usage for 4 months and unlimited calls for free. they only provide service to 4g lte phones.I know that I will get only 3g speed but that's not a problem.

I tried dialing *#*#4636#*#* and selected lte but the menu comes back to wcdma . is it possible to do system changes to trick the phone that it's network is 4g.I use cm 12.1 rooted.

In no way you can change the frequencies if phone's modem doesn't allow you. It's not just faking the icon on status bar.

It just just unlocks available bands
If your modem does not have LTE band then its useless
It unlocks all bands which the modem supports nothing more

Idk... maybe the hardware supports it but needs some software changes ... like driver ...
My device (lenovo a3000h) apparently doesn't support 4g but there is "LTE" option in network type in "tablet information "...
I don't think that you can do that.
If the network only uses LTE bands, there's no way you can get '3G speeds' or use your SIM card in a phone that doesn't support LTE.

I tried to find what's the difference between 3g and 4g devices but couldn't find what i wanted ...
maybe both have the same hardware but 4g needs different software and stronger processor ...and they locked it in weak phones to prevent crashes...
how can i unlock my Sprint AQT80 to work on any LTE/CDMA newtork?
plz help and thanks in advanced

The 4G signal that the networks worldwide use are not the same, GSM 4G is not the same as CDMA 4G, also, some 4G devices in the past were not true 4G, they used Wimax which is not actual 4G. My point is, the 4G your network uses is probably a different signal type or its bands do not match the bands the device supports. Research the exact signal type and frequency bands that Verizon supports, then research what signal type and bands that your network supports.
Many times I've seen 4G CDMA devices used on other networks and 4G could never be made to work, they were stuck with 3G because the device did not support the 4G type their network uses.
Most devices on other networks but still have 4G can count themselves lucky.
Thanks for your reply,
I flashed this rom (CM13) ; http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-cyanogenmod-13-0-nightlies-verizon-t3269675
my provider is "Djezzy" , and i think its 4g LTE.

You "think", no, don't assume anything, even if your provider uses 4G LTE, if the bands/frequencies of your network are not supported by the device's hardware then it isn't going to work. As I said the first time, you need to do the research to see what bands and frequencies Verizon uses and then do the research to see what bands/frequencies your service provider uses. I mean find the actual values of Verizon's bands/frequencies and the actual values of your networks bands/frequencies, you need to compare them to see if the use the same bands/frequencies, not just whether its 4G or LTE or not. Do you understand what I'm saying?
Also, their may be radio/modem incompatibilities, the radio modem is part of the stock firmware that remains on the device, ROMs are just the system partition and not the whole operating system, software that is under the ROM is still the software the device came with or had before you flashed a custom ROM.

Galaxy J2 SM-J200F - How to Force LTE only ?

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy J2 SM-J200F LTE, I usually just get 3G or H+ and I want to get an option to force LTE only.
I did the *#0011# it shows me the service menu :
1- I click the "Plus" button on top-right.
2- I click "Back".
3- Then input "Q".
4- Then "Back" again.
5- Finally input "0000".
I waited for 5 minutes, nothing happened. I repeated the process many times, but still I can't get to the options to choose "LTE only".
PS : I tried *#2263# too, but it shows nothing at all.
I even tried the app "4G LTE SWITCH" . But it says that my device is not compatible.
Please guys, help me.
Is it compatible with the carriers lte? Just because it says it has lte doesn't mean it will work on every carriers lte.
Also if all you are getting is 3g or lte then you may not be in lte coverage.

Yes, it is compatible with the carriers LTE bands, and there is a strong LTE coverage because I tested it in another phone having the same carrier too.
I just need a way to lock LTE only please

You dont want that. As LTE is a data signal only. If it was only LTE you would never get a phone call or text.
If it is not connection the LTE then my next guess would be that the antenna is not strong enough.
Remember not all devices are equal. Just because one works doesnt mean others will.

Then you will have to build your own rom. Which still might not happen as the part that controls that is not open source. So it will take alot of work. And with that device you will most likely not be able to do anything about it as it is not modable and there is no device that even has the option for you to compare the code.
This is just something you may not be able to do
He wanted to enable LTE only mode. . .so there's a way you need to modify CSC features. .I tried this a year ago. . it's still working
Buy xiome Redmi 2 and above phones u can force lte stand by mode also higher version like Redmi 4 has dual sim supporting dual lte stand by mode.
Xiomi offers awesome features at lower costs...

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.

This phone doesn't have certain bands asia uses. you may need to buy the sm-j327u (samsungs unlocked version of this phone that can work on cdma and gsm carriers.) the sm-j327t1 was designed for the united states.
to fix this problem install (Force Lte Only).apk from play store go to phone information>Network mode>Select WCDMA ONLY!

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?
