Hi
My device came from HK, with the 4.1.2 HK firmware. I updated it via ODIN to the the UK 4.2.2 MH1 firmware. On both of these firmwares, 4G worked just fine.
I then updated to MH2 by Kies as it offered to update the device. My 4G stopped working.
Has anyone else had issues with EE 4G in the UK on an N5120 running UK 4.2.2 MH2 firmware?
Nigel
dumb answer...But did you try restarting the device?

Aye, restarted many times! and reselecting the network manually (rather than autosearch). Fixed now. Fix is to goto settings - more settings - mobile networks - network mode then change it from LTE to something else I.e WCDMA let it find the network, then change it back to LTE again, then it finds LTE network.

I would suggest, using mobile odin, flashing the working 4.2.2 MH1 firmware, but removing all the data but the modem. since the MH1 modem worked on your providers 4G it should work just as well on MH2. Then you would not have to redo the procedure of choosing WCDMA. Or did it fix the problem completely so that you still have 4G after reboots etc?
I always flash with Mobile Odin and i am still on my 4.1.2 modem that came with the N5120 when it was new.
My 4G also stopped working after i flashed 4.2.2, but reverting back to the old and known modemdrivers did it for me, and since there are no swedish release of 4.2.2 yet i will keep my old 4.1.2 modem for the time beeing

How is the battery life of the lte model?

Thanks to the replies. I just bought a UK N5120 frpom Three. Decent deal £370 and one month rolling contract 1GB data £7.50.
Unfortunately I think the sim is data only and although the dialer works the network voice tells me I cant make calls. I'll have to try a payg sim to see if dialing works.

I am having battery and signal issues with my Gnex. Phone is bought from HK and baseband is XXLA2.
What baseband should i be using ?
Does flashing ROMs change baseband as well ? I flashed AOKP build 40.
still stuck
my RIL and baseband match but these are XX europe based, and there is no DD baseband/RIL available as nexus is not launched in india.
So again what RIL and baseband should i use.
Try these:

i updated it too 4.1 and it used XXLA2 , but i found my GNex showed lesser bars and also connectivity showed emergency call, whereas other users on same network had bars and could place calls, also flt battery drop was more, but could be wrong.
Any suggestion on which is most optimized for us(Indian) users... i am on vodafone in mumbai

I have also started facing the same issue in Vodafone mumbai. Network drops all the time and says no service or emergency call only. But other cards like idea and Tata Docomo are working great in my gnex.
I have tried different radios but no success. What can I possibly try next. Advice needed...
Hey, even I am facing these issues and I think it is cause of problems in vodafone only... did u try Vodafone sim in other phone?

Starting this discussion to bring some light or current experiences. In my case, LTE doesn't work with either sunrise/ orange providers. In 1st case, after 1 hour with tech support they said there's nothing wrong with sim/subscription and it should work. The fact is even in areas with good 4G coverage I don't even see the LTE option in network settings. In 2nd case, Orange simply said "your phone is not supported..." !. They both work on the 1800 band, so it's ok, in fact, I was in Lisbon last week and with a vodaphone SIM I could see the LTE option, thought I couldn't ever get more than H+ as network signal. I' 've searched on forums and might be of current firmware release. Some post for similar issue advised to flash Romania 10D version. I have downloaded v 10F (germany) and willing to try it. Anyone to share suggestions or anyone from Switzerland with similar issue? Thanks all.
Current software version is E97510E-Eur-xxx and baseband APQ8064/MDM9X15M

Like i said in that post you quoted,the operator will release a small update(<10mb) in order to give acces to 4G.Orange Romania uses 2600mhz band.If orange Switzerland uses the same freq,then you can try to flash 10D from Orange Romania.
My phone came with 10C,4g not enabled.After 2 weeks or so, i received the update and i have LTE now.
You mean you received update from operator? What steps, contacts did you follow as they say LGOG isn't supported...

I had some problem getting 4G to kick in Before when I knew I was in the center of a 4G zone, what I did was turn on 2G/3G only, then I turned on 4G and it finally connected.
@joliv, you can always go to an Orange shop/store and ask them the settings.

Would you be kind to screenshot your APN settings and attach your build.prop?
Thanks
Sent from my LG-E975 using XDA Premium HD app
Solved . I can't believe so simple. After some googling I found a post (in german) I couldn't understand, but referenced some info about network defaults and it's values. Some bell ring and I looked for a ro.telephony.default_network parameter in build.prop. Just changed from "9" to "13", rebooted et voilá. .. many more options available under network settings, including LTE. Once chosen, it registered on 4G victory: ). You have to be rooted of course. I did the change using buildprop editor from ROMtoolbox Pro.
Also, it seemed to me that after flashing 10F, phone was (even) faster. I''ve run Antutu 3 times and always got around 17970 (with 10E never got more than 17150).
About the change - as usual do at your own risk.

I have an at&t n7105 device, but i need to get it to work on englands GSM network, i tried the modem for the UK that seems to be the most popular. Anyhow when i install any modem that isnt AT&T my phone reboots after about 30-90 seconds of being on, it just reboots, over and over.
Am i installing the modem wrong? or is it better to use a certain rom, or group of roms in england? Maybe a certain modem for aosp roms?

Patience you only posted this yesterday..
GT N7105 with XDA Premium......that is all......
GSM match?
This may be a stupid question but does the AT & T version of the note 2 even have the same GSM frequencies to work on UK networks?
Turns out the correct modem is the att modem and you can only get 3g. 4g uses different frequencies.

So I just bought a Tmo s4 and rooted my device. After installing the latest TWRP, I have tried installing PAC ROM and Slimbean but my lte doesn't work on either ROM. If I flash back to stock it works fine. I tried adding the APN settings just in case I missed something but to no avail. I went into the dialer and used *#*#4636#*#* and changed the network to lte only and I lost signal completely. Anyone having similar issues or a fix?
Thanks

The model is SGH-M919. I'll try the one that you mentioned.
Did you actually test the speed and confirm you didn't have lte? Most aosp roms don't show the lte symbol.
I didn't test the speed but I did try another rom, Virgin ROM and it displays the LTE symbol fine now. Thanks for the help guys!
Hi all,
I am currently running a non H3G ROM on my Note 2 LTE.
As Three UK are pushing out 4G to London users, I wondered if I would need to be on an official Three UK ROM for it to happen?
As I understand it, a message is sent to the phone and a reboot is then required for 4G to be activated.
Does anyone know?
I would call Three, but they are shocking with the easiest of questions - so I think this would blow their mind.
Many thanks!

Hi Kieron,
Im running 4.1.2 baseband version N7105NEDMA1 Build number JZ054K.N7105XXDMB2 and have a N7105 LTE on Three UK, and am awaiting 4G to become active
I would just like to confirm this is what you are using as you have confirmed 4G Is working for you - or if anyone else has THREE 4G working on their N7105 what their baseband and build number is so that i can confirm im running the correct one to receive the update? Many thanks
It doesn't matter what ROM you are using I've found out.
There is no software update or any other change to the phone, an update is done on the network side only.
Mine switched on without notification or reboot.
Very strong in Central London and 40MB down and 20MB up.
You just need to wait your turn sadly.
