Hi, Im using a model i317M, I modified it to work with AWS network, and the 4G icon on the task bar still showed up. Then I rooted the phone, and installed an international ROM (which is tested and can be installed for all models), to have a multiscreen function. After that, I can only connect to 3G network, the 4G icon is gone, and never showed up. I'm wondering what happened to it, and my network mode is still the same in the setting, which is "LTE/GSM/WCDMA(Auto Mode). If I installed the stock ROM will it come back? And can I do anything to get the 4G icon back without install any ROM? Thanks to you all! Really appreciated that in advance!
Some roms just don't have the 4G icon even when you're getting 4g.

Well if you didnt set up your APN just running on the one from the international rom then there ya go you need to enter the correct APN to get LTE>..

If you are using International ROMs on your 317m, make sure they are based on 7105 and not 7100. The 7100 doesn't support LTE.
I had the ATT version for a few days and it had a data on/off toggle.
I can't seem to find it on the tmobile version. Is there a toggle for it?

If it does I can't find it. I wish it did.
Nope. I just did a side by side of the i9500 and the M919 and it was one thing I noticed when reviewing the video I made.

No "direct" toggle button but data can be turned off at Settings>>Connections>>Data Usage
You can turn off data there and also set a data limit there.
I have an unlocked stock rooted AT&T i747 running 4.1.2. I want to use it on the Bell network. When I put in a Bell sim, it shows it has service, and the pda.bell.ca APN shows up, but it can't find the Bell network, only Rogers. Just wondering if anyone else has tried the same thing and had success or no? As it is I cannot call, text, or browse... Please let me know if there is anything I can do.
Is there an option in the network settings to select lte or wcdma?
Did you check to make sure the phone isn't listed as being blacklisted?

I haven't located any settings about WCDMA or LTE. On my i747m I'm used to being able to toggle between 2G/3G/4G. Nothing like that here. Bell's IMEI check approved it, and it's not on the national blacklist.

You say the Bell APN shows up but are you using it?
Trying to... However I'm still not getting any data service.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434995 has the APN, I assume you already looked it up but can be useful.
Getting service but no data is usually just not having data turned on.. So obvious question: Do you have it turned on in your settings/pulldown menu?
If your APN checks and data is turned on, you might have to give Bell a call (don't have to tell them you have a US variant).
Thanks for your input. Data is definitely turned on. However, please remember that it's not only data that isn't working. I am also unable to call and text.

Can you check to make sure your baseband matches your bootloaders? If it does, I'm out of options for now. Bell (or someone else) can probably help you further.
Sorry for not being overly knowledgeable...
How can I tell what bootloader I'm running?
Sent from my SGH-I747M
Ok. I found how tell what bootloader I'm running. The baseband and bootloader do match.

Back to the same question
So... This phone has sat around for a few months, and now I want to sell it to a friend of mine on Telus. Anyone know what we need to do to make it work???

Once the phone has been unlocked, it will work on all carriers except Wind and Mobilicity.

It seems it should be that way... the phone is unlocked, but when I put a Bell sim in it it says emergency calls only. The only network that comes up to set as default is Rogers. Can you advise me as to how to make 100% sure the phone is unlocked?
Are you running a custom ROM? Can you change the network settings to wcdma only?

I rooted it with Chainfire's Odin Autoroot, but everything else is stock... I can't find a way to change the network settings to wcdma only... I'm trying to use it on a GSM network, anyway. Or am I not understanding?

Which carrier are you trying to use the phone with? If it is Telus/Bell/Koodo/Virgin, it should work without changing anything.
The only networks that support GSM are Fido and Rogers.

Ok sorry, I think I got confused about the wireless technology. I'm trying to use it on Bell or Telus, but no luck. I guess I should try an AT&T sim in it and see if the phone works at all...

What stock ROM is on the phone? I had an i747m that was locked to Bell. I used the free method to unlock it, updated to 4.4.2, and it works perfectly on Rogers and Koodo.

Yeah, makes me think that maybe this is faulty hardware or AT&T somehow hamstrung this thing...

The ATT should work on Bell and Telus. My Bell i747m could roam on ATT when I travelled to the USA.
Just to confirm: you can connect to the Rogers network but not Bell or Telus?

Yeah I found it, it's in the AT&T all access widget... I have no idea why they don't just included like normal in the network connections section in settings
Is there anyway to root and use the hotspot without going thru the at&t widget? If so please point me in the right direction.
I have the Tmobile Note 10 plus came from the exynos variant didnt realize the data toggle wasnt present? Is it anyway to enable the data toggle without using an PC?

The toggle is in Mobile Data Usage in settings. I also have one in the pulldown. I did convert my T-Mobile version to the unlocked U1 version though.
