Hello!
I have a Galaxy s4 that's stock 4.3 ROM but rooted and CWM. When I go into Network Mode (4g 3g or 2g) I only have WCDMA/GSM, WCDMA only and GSM only. How can I add the 4G LTE option to this menu? Do I need to flash another modem or what? I'd like to keep my current ROM in case I sell my phone and to avoid issues. Any help available?
Cheers

Is your plan 4g included? It may be a plan limitation and you might need to change your plan to a LTE/4G plan.
Smack that thanks button if I helped!

Nope. But my phone is rooted and CWM is installed so I can't do a software upgrade when they add the features. So I would lile to have it there pre emptively

If you're plan doesn't include 4g, then u won't have lte as a choice in your network mode. (And will never have) (u can try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brownent.switchit if u want. I think your phone will just lose signal till u switch back.)

Try different modem(baseband). Try few and you'll find best for you.

Get on a mobile network that this phone fully supports. What carrier are you on? This phone doesn't get better than edge on certain networks. (for example, T-mobile USA)

You should look for carriers who offer the fastest data network speed. I know here in holland, its vodafone. So perhaps you should switch carriers for faster speed. There isnt a other way to increase it.

From what I was able to find though, Mobily DOES use a frequency (WCDMA 2100) that this phone supports.
Did you get the phone brand new? Or used? Are you sure it's an i9100 model phone?

like someone already told you, you should try flashing a different modem (afaik, you can try any sgs2 modem you like, no matter which rom/kernel you are on).
here is a link for a thread with a collection of modems

Now my Internet far better than before. I changed the network type to auto instead of gsm. I also did the tweaks. Also it is much faster when outside rather than at home or at work because of poor signals.

Dear guys I bought my s3 from the middle east now I live in New York and with t mobile I only get edge on my data connection. I searched the web and xda but couldn't find a useful solution pleas help me with what is possible to do. if I rooted wich radio and Rom would work.
Thank u all already.

EDGE is the best you'll be able to get with T-Mobile. Your international GS3 doesn't have the 1700MHz band needed for T-Mobile 4G.
Your options are to live with it, switch providers and go with AT&T or sell your GS3 and buy the T-Mobile version.
Bellow is a screen shot from wiki pediatrician for gt-i9300 base bands it includes all almost there must be a work arriund to get 4g

I would say wait few more months t-mobile already started rolling out H+ for 1900. So in few months we will be able to use high speed data

where did you hear that?
Sell it and get the t-mo gs3 version, you'll need 1700 mhz umts to be able to get the 3g (fake 4g) on t-mo. And this is hardware is no root or magic to change it!

This screenshots were sent from a friend that says that his cellphone is receiving 4G, however i also have the same GT-i9300 factory unlocked, but bought from the US. His S3 is bought from Orange Dominicana Carrier. We both are in the same network. But i only receive H+, while he receives 4G. Does this mean that there are GT-i9300 with LTE? Or mine is not configured properly?
IMPOSSIBRU!!!!
On a serious note, I was sent a text from T-Mobile uk saying that later this year I would be able to get 4G
Here's hoping
Regards
Jack
Edit: unfortunately after having restored a nandroid backup, I have lost the text, doesn't seem like i have a great deal of credibility now oh well
Yes or No then?
Yes or No then? because as u can see in the pictures, it appears he has 4G. And im pretty sure he has the GT-i9300.
The gt-i9300 only has hspa+, it may say 4g but it's hspa+.
The LTE version is the i9305 and isn't out yet.

Probably not, different frequencies for LTE, otherwise Sammy would just use the US version in European LTE markets.
Goes to show that the quad exynos is their preferred platform.

I would hardly core that as an source. Additionally, it directly contradicts your earlier assertion.
Check the actual model numbers that Samsung has put forth... there is no such animal as the SGH-I545.

Hey guys...
So, the Verizon S4 is the model named SCH-I545 and it comes with a sim slot, right? Besides, it comes Internationally Unlocked, so it can be used on GSM networks around the world, correct?
Just one more question, does it work on the 850MHz Band for 3G?
I'm thinking on buying one also! Thanks!
I brought the vzw s4 back to india.. but its not working with either vodafone or airtel GSM.
After rooting and installing apn manager and titanium pro I was able to get the data working but that too only 3g.
But the voice n sms is still not working.
I too am lookiblng for a solution but didnt find any, inspite of this being a world phone.

Same issue in India
I am having the same issue. The phone picks up only data signal and not voice or SMS. I have a Note2 purchased from Verizon and it works perfect. I have rooted and was able to install an I9505 ROM Wamma Lite. It picked up the gsm signal for a moment and same issue occured. Can aI9505 modem be iinstalled using Odin which will make the gsm modem primary and CDMA secondary and allow gsm use for voice and SMS. Please help.

Yes, it will work on 850
Straight from Sammy.
"Frequencies and Data Type:
LTE: Bands 4/13
CDMA 1x/EVDO Rev.A: 800/1900MHz
HSPA+/UMTS: 850/900/1900/2100MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz"
I am using my i545 in both CDMA and GSM networks. Didn't try HDSPA, but EVDO Rev.A and even Rev.B, and GSM with EDGE - working properly without problems. Switching between networks - is in the Settings. My phone is connected to two different operators at the same time - to CDMA and GSM.

Reboot the phone and let the phone register on the network. The APN should be in the phone database. In case its not, which would be impossible with a stock rom, you can enter it, and be sure to SAVE it.
Right now I'm using the phone apn I have rebooted the phone many times I actually would like to know when I put it to only lyrics in the phone info menu it still shows as hspa
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
HSPA = 3G/4G Kind of strongest signal available.
On TouchWiz firmware:
E=2g
3g=3g
4g=hspa
4g lte= lte the strongest signal.
Aosp:
E=2g
3g=3g
H=hspa
4g= lte
disable lte
