Got the phone yesterday, I have LineageOS 14.1 installed and today I inserted the SIM card, by default it detected its settings but it doesn't give me LTE, if I choose preferred network type to be LTE I end up with no connection even from H, but if i selected GSM/WCDMA/LTE I can get H+ tried a few different settings but nothing worked...the device is compatible with the provider's bands.

make sure you are in sim1 not sim2 also
I did try...I've tried many different ROMs now and in every one I had only 3g available (RR,LOS,EUI,Cuoco...). I really have no idea what's wrong.

Try changing radio band or set it to automatic
*#*#4636#*#*
Apparently the LTE works at higher frequencies, at home however the lte frequency is lower and it didn't pick up the signal...the provider doesn't offer many lte bands, so it's partially their fault. Anyhow LTE is working, probably going to change provider soon.

hey all,
looking at getting this phone this weekend, but curious about the LTE.. I live in a rural area that doesnt have LTE, we will be on HSPA+ for a while yet. Carrier is Telus in Nova Scotia.
I have read that LTE is a bit of a battery hog, if there is no LTE in my area will the phone keep hunting for LTE?
Can i "disable" LTE and have it default to HSPA+?(primarily for battery consumption)
Thanks
EDIT: sorry i just notice the post about questions going in the Q&A, sorry, if a mod could move it, that would be great
Yes you can disable it. which carrier are you with?
Hi, I have the AT&T S3 and I've used the code *#2263# and selected WCDMA and the frequency, and now it stays on HSPA
I hope it helps!
Thanks thats what I was getting at (wasn't sure if you guys had that option or not) OP there is your method.
You can also get the app Phone Info to change your settings
Excellent Info! Thanks
Do you think the battery life will be better ?

hrmm...when I do that on my ATT S3 it just takes me to a screen that says RAT selection option is restricted.
I don't see any other options.

There was a way to get out of this before, I think it involves you taking out your sim card.
Ah, here it is. Try this!

Does this mean that some ATT phones have a different modem than other supposedly identical ATT phones??
i found there is no need to use codes, etc
Settings > More Settings > Mobile Networks > Network mode
Gives you 4 options
GSM/HSPA/LTE (Auto Mode)
GSM/HSPA (Auto Mode)
GSM Only
HSPA Only

For ATT phones this option is locked out. FYI. Tmo, Sprint and Verizon it's prolly not. Only annoying thing about ATT's version so far. My HOX is the same way.
Root and you can access it I think.

Hi, I'm using the At&t version of the S3 on another network (Claro) and the code works. Maybe something is different because of that?
Are you guys using this like I said earlier?

I tried this one but it doesn't work for me. I see the information and can run ping test but if I try to make a band change the new selection is not applied.
I'm only able to change it using *#2263# :/
Ohhhhhhh....OK.
idk *#2263# isnt working at all on my att phone.

I'm overseas and using a different SIM card. Currently running LiquidSmooth but the SIM card reading (or whatever) at the bottom of the status bar still reads "Verizon Wireless" and my signal bar is grey. Any help? Thx

Sounds like the SIM is either bad or not installed correctly... Grab any of the dozen or so SIM Info apps from the Play Store and see if it is recognized. You did go into the *#*#4636#*#*, then select Phone Informaton, scroll down to Set preferred network type, and select LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) or go into Settings->More->Mobile Networks->Network Mode and select Global or GSM/WCDMA?

Did all that. As far as SIM info is concerned, it shows the IMEI but doesn't show phone number and says data is not active. I can receive voice just fine though. Also network is wrong as it's still showing VZW

Also, when was on infection, had to install the GSM patch on top of the already GSM-enabled rom for the SIM to be properly recognized and get data on it
It's either two of these things, you're not on the global radio or you didn't reboot when you finished the setup.( I have T-Mobile, when I reboot I get data and full signal bars)

everything works fine on sense roms, but not aosp or aokp
hmmm.. I have no clue sorry... I never had that problem. Try the *#*#4636#*#* - Phone Information and then select gsm only and reboot. APNs shouldn't have anything to do with getting signal.
Cannot select LTE as "preferred network mode" after installing Android L (B309) on MT2-L03 phone. AT&T has the phone IMEI and LTE has been provisioned on their end. LTE was working before the switch to Android L. Please advise if you've seen this issue before and/or have a resolution.
2015-08-06 Updated to B320. Problem persists. Cannot change setting to LTE. Settings --> wireless & network: More... --> mobile network --> preferred network type --> can only select 3 last options, doesn't let me select first option which includes LTE. Help anyone???
Settings-->Mobile Network-->Preferred netwok type-->LTE/WCDMA/GSM auto.
Are you sure LTE is available where you are?
This always gives me LTE but I'm on Tmobil.
ALso do you see this when you are connected wirelessly, if so turnoff the wireless to switch to LTE

Yes I'm sure. LTE was working before. Also confirmed it at an AT&T store where I also checked the APN settings. Nothing to do with turning wireless off and on. The option to select LTE is there, it just wouldn't let me select it.
can you try putting in a different SIm card to see if that makes a difference?
If that don't help maybe back to JB then Back to LP, I know that is tedious, But ......

Thanks. Was thinking of going back to AT&T and replacing the SIM (though the LTE did work before I moved to Android L with current SIM). Was trying to get back to Android J (HAM2 B148) but unsuccessfully. Saw in another thread here that the Huawei package was missing a file so may try that if the SIM replacement doesn't work.
Just borrow someones sim first and try it unless the store is next door.
link to complete JB downgrade --> http://bit.ly/1FOY924
Just put the dload folder with both files on the root of a 4gb micro sd, give it the three button press from off to force Downgrade(update).

The new SIM did the trick or whatever reset AT&T did on their end..
On other thing I forgot is you could have checked the notification bar /shortcuts to see if you 4G was selected there.

There was 4G but no LTE
I'm on ATT and B320. No issues at all with LTE. Glad you got it sorted out.

Try verifying your network's APN.
Google the latest one and make a new APN. ?
Sent from my ehmm... well... phone with xdw... cda... err... well I sent it, okay?

Yes, call your operator and require APN then change it in your settings. worked for me.

Yeassh..this is true i also changed the internal to force the system to use the wcdma instead..but the signal drop until there is no sim detected..
I am a new mi 3s prime user. It is not showing network. Its writing emergency calls only. What should I do??
For airtel users , I changed the sim to 4G sim (with and preferred network to “prefer LTE”) and issue is resolved.
Hey!
I've had my Honor 5X for about a month and I haven't yet been able to connect to my carrier's LTE Network.
I know the bands match and my phone even shows my carrier's LTE network when I turn off automatic network selection, but I can't seem to connect to it. It defaults to 3G and the highest I've gotten is HSPA+. I've tried different carriers as well but it doesn't connect to ANY 4G network.
I have 4G enabled in the settings. There's no way to force LTE as Huawei has disabled the hidden network selection menu.
Any ideas?

There is a way to edit build.prop to force it to choose but I read it somewhere and now can not find it. May be someone can explain how to do it.
editing build.prop may help
search for this line in build.prop
ro.telephony.default_network=9
change it from 9 to 10
disclaimer: always do a backup before proceeding , and do not blame me if you did something wrong of if something wrong happens..
Reset APN.
I can't edit the build.prop file because I'm not rooted. Once I do root, I'll probably install CM13 so that won't be an issue.
What I wanted to know is why this is happening. It should connect to LTE whenever it's available without me having to force it.
Anyone else having this issue?
