No option for lte only

Last phone was an lg nitro and was able to toggle lte only doing *#*#4636#*#* now with this new Note 2 it will not recognize the code. Its a canadian bell
Is it because I need to root it first for it to work..any work around?
Help thanks

Its *#2263# on my gs3. Give that a try.
Not sure if its the same way, but you'll likely have to pull the sim out to get into those settings, put the sim back in, and reboot.

Imei and rom

I was wandering if I lost my rooted phone and someone put a ROM on it and the imei changes. Can my phone company still blacklist it since the imei changes?
And if the phone blacklisted, would the phone work on other carrier if the person unlock it?
Can phone company track who using the phone? Like who login with their gmail and other account? Or which WiFi the connect to? Or which Sim card was used on the phone?

They have a number of apps to help with phone recovery.
Plan b, Prey, and Cerberus are a few.
Rooting your phone doesn't make it easier for a thief to use when stolen, however

Trouble with global mode

So I'm visiting family in Austria and had Verizon set me up for global. Now that I'm here it just won't work. I'm set to global but there's no signal at all. Verizon had me try a few things but no go. Is there anything I can check that might be missing or need to manually add? I'm using EclipticOne ROM.

It's sim unlocked, why not get a prepaid sim if the phone has the proper bands?

I plan to but I don't understand why it's not working for me like it is supposed to.

Under settings --> Mobile Data --> Preferred Network change the setting to GSM/UMTS.

I went through a few different settings with Verizon but it didn't help. Would the absence of any system apks cause this to not work? Or some other internal config?

Well Hawks was basically stock. I did think about it but I don't feel like wasting a day putzing around on my cell. Although with this time zone difference I was up until 5am. Bah

Help. Sim stopped working suddenly

I've done nothing at all lately and my phone says no sim all of a sudden, I've tried restarting many times and nothing. Any insight into this issue?

Have you tried taking the sim out and checking for dust? I know in my older phone it would say that. I would pop the sim out, blow on it, and pop it back in. It would then work.
If not, just an idea.

Tried it

Did you try another working sim?

Your Imei number maybe blocked a friend of mine paid for a phone on Craig's list and it was working fine and the a week later the sim stopping working so we called sell provider they said the phone was reported lost or stolen also we tried other sim cards didn't work still that's what made us call

No LTE option in network modes after flashing custom rom

After flashing a custom rom on my t999l, there is no longer an option for lte in network modes. Is there a build.prop edit that would get lte option back? Or some other way?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I think I figured it out. I changed everything in the build.prop that said T999UVUEMJC to T999LUVUMK4. Now I have the Lte option in network mode again. And it seems to be working fine.

You didn't have to do that though, it should connect to lte as long as it's in auto mode

That's what I thought too. But it wasn't.

It was only connecting to umts and hspa. This is the first rom that this has happened with.

What is your APN ? For TMO LTE you need different APN than us mere mortals
