I have a question about my 4G issue. The only time i can get 4G is when I select 4G only in the command settings, but then i don't have voice services. Is there a fix or a know issue about this issue im having? This happens with any rom i flash.:crying:

4G on the EVO is garbage. My S4 is picking up 4G in areas my EVO never has and with great speeds in areas the EVO had picked up 4G. Not sure about your issue though. Update PRL and Profile?

Weird thing that I have noticed is,
I have perfect LTE (25MBps up) when I run Stock Android 4.2. CyanogeMod 10.1
Any Sense Rom I run it has no LTE. When I select CDMA/LTE it won't connect to Data at all. When I select CDMA it will connect to 3G.
I hate it and have never found a fix for it. So I am stuck on 10.1 with not a lot of updates. Which is fine, but I like to switch back to Sense everyone once in a while and when I do I am forced to use only 3G.

i know that's what I have heard as well. My phone is weird, but it runs perfectly on stock Android so I can't complain too much!
Mine connects to 4g lte without issue as long as I'm running meanbean or stock with goodies. On several other rom's I had problems connecting. Not sure why.

No, if I remember correctly you're picking up sprint lte, it just thinks it's verizon or whatever carrier you're roaming on.
Also, OP, have you tried switching to another phone, then switching back? I know that sounds weird but my brother was having data issues on his virgin mobile phone and that's how he fixed the issue lol

No. Your 2G network which controls voice is roaming. However your phone has an established 4G network connection. Sort of like being on wifi and roaming. Your calls go through the 2G network while the data is being handled by your wifi/4G. Those signal bars are strictly for your 2G connection. 3G and 4G have their own connection which is not viewable unless you dig into ## settings from dial pad. Sprint don't have any 4G roaming agreements with any other carrier.

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.

This happened to me. I ended up getting a new sim card and that fixed the problem.
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.

Got my new LTE 4g card today and everything is good for me....Sounds like something is breaking the cards.
I'm now getting an error maybe once a day that my Sim card was removed, reboot. Starting to think maybe there is something causing problems.

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.

Having the same issue, mine came after i *228 my phone. It went through updating roaming and since then its stuck on 3g. Downloaded the Odin file going to try in the morning.
Ps. Attempted to insert my wife's sim into the phone to see if my sim was just bad but even with hers I was only getting 3g. Tried to flash the latest radio in twrp but didn't fix it either

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.

NEVER *228 a 4g Verizon phone. It will and most likely burned up your sim card. *228 is not compatible with 4g devices.

Yes I'm using my at&t straight talk sim on the verizon s4 and it works great!
Is there anything special I have to do with my phone? When I order the sim card from straight talk it won't let me select the cdma option so, should I just select gsm as if I have a AT&T Galaxy S4?

CDMA does not use SIM cards. The S4 is a CDMA/GSM/LTE device. AT&T is a GSM network.
You might have to edit the APN settings to use Straight Talk.

The Verizon S4 is a CDMA phone AND a GSM phone. I believe they made it this way so you can go to about any other country in the world and still use your phone - or it was just cheaper to mass produce the radios with everything in it.
Anyway the only thing to change is the APN settings to
Name=Straight Talk
APN=att.mvno
Proxy=proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
Port=80
MMSC=http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy=mms2.tracfone.com
works perfect. However I did just find a small problem. I have flashed both cyanogenmod and Liquidsmooth AOSP ROMS and they do not work with at&t ST sim - when I call the phone it does not answer or register the call at all. Not sure what the problem is, seems like for some reason it is not registering with the at&t network. Trying to find a fix. However, the phone has worked fine with all TW based ROMS I've tried.
Ok thanks for the information but I have one more question... I am rooted with Clean Rom 1.5, do I have to unroot my phone? Will I still be able use wife tether or foxfi? I heard AT&T took foxfi away.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Oops just saw that you messaged me - yes just choose GSM. You do not have to unroot your phone but like I said in the last post - I cannot get AOSP roms to receive or make calls - data works - but not phone calls - which is rather strange and I'm sure can be fixed but nothing I have tried seems to work.
GSM is fine but in reality once you get the right LTE bands turned on, would it be better in global?

What kind of data do you see on AT&T? HSPA+? 3G? 2G?
I have an unlocked gs4 from Verizon and I am attempting to use it on Bell Mobility in Canada. I have an LTE sim card which I know works for LTE because I tried it on a note2 which is locked to bell. My apn is set up properly and I can get data but only H or H+. When I try to change the preferred connection to cdma/lte my signal bars go away and they are replaced with the no signal symbol, circle with a line through it. It must be a setting in the phone somewhere but I'm out of ideas. Hoping someone can help or at least point me in the right direction.
I'm a noob when it comes to adroid so go easy on me lol.

As far as I know the chip itself is only capable of supporting those bands. Hardware capabilities that can't be changed by software. Not 100% positive.

So get this...
I planned on re-selling the phone to my american friend who happened to be on verizon. So I did the factory data reset to send him a nice clean device. Just for kicks i decided to try one more time to connect to lte. I put the in the Bell LTE sim, configured APN, and selected LTE network connection... and nothing. However, there is an extra setting in there that says "Global", which was there before the reset but never worked. Pressed that... BOOM!.. LTE.
Don't know how or why it worked this time, but I'm happy.

To get LTE do not give your z2's imei to AT&T since they need to have an IMEI of an AT&T LTE enabled phone in their system to be able to provision LTE. ( I'm using the imei from my m7). So, put in the sim card, go to where you have WIFI, download the apn, enable LTE or 4G, restart your phone and LTE should work. I figured this out after spending several hours with a supervisor in tech support.

Everytime I use download internet settings, nothing seems to happen?
Yeah I was able to fix the problem by using the cingular apn setting, but that was on the 55 firmware, I updated to the 69 firmware and the default at&t apn settings that you can download to the phone worked. I have a D6503.
I am on ATT, I don't get the LTE icon, only 4G symbol, speed seems fine, but no LTE icon, APN setting was set when I download the MMS setting,
for those Z2 users on ATT, do you have LTE icon on your phone ?
The LTE & 4G icons seem to depend on which firmware you're running. It looks like 55 showed LTE, 69 showed 4G and 402 went back to LTE.

Yeah I'll also comfirm the firmware icon changes. .69 removed the LTE icon for me too. No worries, speed is still the same.
