i have done a clean flash muliple time and still the same thing.
IDK, I'm in San Francisco and I get 4g all the time no problem. You can call Verizon and see if there are issues in your area.

As the title says, I got my Verizon Note II today but no LTE so far. I just took the SIM out of my Galaxy Nexus, which gets Verizon LTE in my home, and put it in my Note II (purchased for retail price without contract). Maybe the radio is just weaker in the Note II, but my Nexus always gets LTE in my home.
Do I need to contact Verizon to activate the phone or should I be able to just stick the SIM in there and have it work?
It should work fine, I did yhe exact same thing. I was told it was better that I jumped from a phone using Microsim to another microsim phone because verizon was knocking people out of yhere unlimited data plans

I would be pretty irritated to pay $800 for a phone and then be told I had to give up my unlimited data. That would be the end of Verizon for me and my family, and we have been with Verizon forever.
I totally agree. I assume you have done a simple sim pull and reinsert. Have you tried Airplane mode on then off? Maybe something in the mobile network settings is wonkie?

My brother had a same issue with his Galaxy S3, but it was resolved by changing to new SIM card. You can also wait for 1 day and see if you get LTE signal....if not, you should take it to Verizon and demand a new SIM card.
This happened to me as well. I thought I could use my gnex sim for the n2, but only got 3g. Called vzw and activated the new sim and got 4G right away.

Very curious. When I bought my Gnote at the Verizon store, the rep removed the sim card from my Gnex and installed it in the note. Works fine for me. Have a strong LTE connection.
I switched from the GNex to the Note 2 and paid full retail for the phone to keep my unlimited data. But I activated my phone online and used the sim from my gnex in my note 2 and as soon as it booted up I had 4G.

Sometimes if you go into settings, more settings, mobile network, and select lte/cdma instead of global, it'll pick up lte.

Turned out I needed a new SIM card. Verizon store said it should have worked with the same card but that sometimes their system gets "confused". They swapped it out with no charge or hassle, and I still have my unlimited plan.

I flashed a new kernel and my Dna went into a loop on the white screen. I got into recovery and flashed back to Nos M7 v1.0.6 with stock kernel. Now it has no signal and can not call out. It keeps saying perparing sim card. Anybody had this happen?

Are you on Verizon? Because I'm a gsm user. As far as I know the only fix for this is to replace the phone. I cannot since I bought this phone online and I'm using it in another country overseas so send it back for replace it'll cost me 200+.
The 3g/4g antenna is a very delicate coil, during the beastmod flashing bootloop the phone got extremely hot so the antenna coil should be damaged/grounded.

Verizon sent me updated replacement and new sim card but I did a factory reset with the new sim card and my old phone is up and running. They told me it must of been just a bad SIM so I could just send back the new phone

Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
I doubt there will be an update in 2 weeks most of those reps don't have a clue what they are talking about. I called one time because my data was gone and the rep had the same phone and he said "oh my data hasn't been working eaither" he walked me through steps I had already gone through and fixed his issue but then proceeded to tell my my modem was dead. Well I told him it wasn't o got transfered to a higher tier and they fixes it. But we will just have to see I guess. Hopefully that's the case that we get one and get sense 5 that would be nice for those of us who are locked down.

I would have thought it would have been the SIM. I messed up the PRL on my SIM card because I didn't know that you weren't supposed to update your roaming capabilities by dialing *228. Big mistake. I confused the customer representative when I told him because I didn't what to tell him I had rooted my phone and put a custom ROM on it.
UPDATE: after rooting/ s-off last night I stayed on stock and changed a few build prob line edits, and messed around with diagnostic mode and got my 4g, lasted through nite and all morning till bout hr ago it went to 3g and won't go back on LTE. Rebooted must.of reverted what all I changed/edited back to normal. I'm going try go one by one.and.see.which one/one's I get 4g with, I'll try and find out what's causing it and.make.a.ind.d script that will run at boot.

After flashing Cyanogenmod 10.1 I have only been able to connect to 3G and cannot connect to 4G LTE. Does anyone know how to get LTE to work on Cm10.1?
Try doing a full wipe. Data/cache/dalvik, reflash CM.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Also be sure you have LTE enabled in your network settings.
Were you ever able to regain LTE? This has happened to me as well. I've tried flashing back to stock, changing settings using *#*#4636#*#*, and a couple of others. Still nothing. Hate the idea of relying on 3G.

Try putting your Sim card in someone else's phone that has LTE. If they only get 3G, it's your card. Of they still get 4G, it's something else with your phone causing the problem.

Something similar is happening to me. I'm on Carbonrom 1.8. 4g just stopped working. Have been reading around trying to get fixes. Got a new SIM card from Verizon and it still didn't fix it.
In my phone status it says I'm on CDMA - eHRPD:14, I believe this indicates I truly am on 3g. If it were 13 it'd be 4g. I think I have that right. I haven't come across much that's helpful although it seems this isn't that rare of an issue. Trying to fix as much of it as I can on my own. I've yet to revert back to stock. Have tried going to Beanstown, that did more harm than good (broke sms and didn't go to 4g).

Beans ROM is basically stock if you went to that and still didn't have 4G then there is something wrong with your phone. Try the dialer fix (Dialing the number posted above) and if that doesn't work I would start thinking about a warranty replacement.

I wonder if this is something that happened because of the ROM/Root or if it would have happened anyway.

Most likely would have happened anyways. Rooting and ROMing don't touch the modems that control your cell signal.

Just rooted my Razr Maxx (had a rooted Droid X). Flashed CM 10.1, while on CM NO 4g, go back to stock ROM and DO have 4g. I've switched back and forth several times and remains the same.
Sounds like a CM problem, but hey, I'm no expert, pretty noob.

In locations I know for a fact have LTE. First thing I tried was ##72786#. I got excited when during the hands free activation of had a LTE signal for the first time. However, after the phone automatically reset it went back to LTE.
I have no idea what is going on here. This is my third Note 3. I'm on stock rooted MI5 firmware.
##DATA# can't be accessed because I don't have MSL but even if I did I wouldn't know WTF to do.

I had this problem with my GS3 and was tired of calling them and them telling me that there was an LTE outage in my area OVER and OVER again. So I decided to take it into a sprint store and hold it next to the demonstration models and asked them why their LTE worked but mine clearly didn't work and that got their attention to exchange it out after they tried fixing it for 45 minutes.

Forgive me if I'm off, I was slightly confused by your post and I'm delirious from lack of sleep...
1. Try toggling airplane mode, this usually helps me reconnect to LTE.
2. Update your PRL and Profile.
Every Sprint PRL. (includes everything you need to know about PRLs)
3. Install LTE Discovery on the Google Play Store.
Good luck.

Then it is safe to say it is a hardware issue, return and try again.
I was on the phone with Sprint Tech support for almost a full 45 minutes. The preliminary determination was that my SIM card # did not match up with what Sprint was showing on their computers. Unfortunately I'm not near an LTE area so I don't know if it worked or not.

That is good info. Maybe this thread should be a sticky. What would be nice is a way for users to verify their SIM card #s online.
Question - Is the SIM card just for 4GLTE? I did see one in my Note 3 but my past CDMA/Wimax Sprint phones didn't require a SIM card. I thought only GSM phones required a SIM card.
I bought a Note-3 off of swappa.com, didn't come with SIM card.......so finally figured out that was the reason why I'm not getting 4GLTE.
Picked up a SIM card from Sprint, all is good.........I now have 4GLTE.
