Hi all,
Just picked up the D855 euro version LG G3 and do not see any LTE options in the data section.
I only see GSM/WCDMA.
I entered the LTE mobile settings for rogers and only see "H", not even 4G...
Is there a menu where I can switch this ?
And will I be able to use LTE in Montreal on Rogers Wireless using the 700 / 2100 / 2600 bands ?
I notice it doesnt have AWS with 1700 /2100
I dont mind if it says 4G as long as I can get LTE speeds...
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
I'm seeing the same on mine (Starhub Singapore D855). I think 4G is some countries is considered a value added service. You may need to call it in and have it activated on your SIM. I plan to call them later today after work to confirm.
I got mine to work on Fido. I flashed the HKG firmware through the TOT/DLL method. Then I either choose band 4 or 7(can't remember) in developer settings (3845#*885#)
Flash method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799647 (Go say thanks to wolfgart!) There should also be a link to a guide to flashing. Also here are some screen shots if they help.

I actually got mine working by installing the app "LTE On Off" from the Google Play Store and selecting LTE/GSM/WCDMA
And entering Rogers LTE APN settings
Am getting 80MBPS download and 20MBPS upload
Works perfectly
Im trying to make mine work on US T-Mobile.

Go to your dialer and type 3845#*855# go to LTE only, then band selection. Chose band 4. Then in your regular settings enter the APN for T-Mobile, and change network selection GSM/WSPDA/LTE auto. Restart your phone.

I did that. I also deleted lte configurations. In System/ apps/. Didn't do the trick. I flashed multiple KDZs and it didn't Work. It just doesnt have the right bands for it to work on Tmobile. So i ordered a G3 cat6.

OMG, can you please tell me how you did that? I've been trying to figure out step by step and I can't do anything! I downloaded Flashtool and when I tried to turn off the phone and put it in download mode, after plugging it in and opening up device manager, I can't see "ports" thus I can't change port to COM41. I've been stuck at literally the second step of this complicated process. I really would hate to see my G3 go to waste. Please help as I'm on the Rogers network.

Hmmm, try re-downloading and re-patching the flash toolkit, maybe something got screwed up there? Also try another USB port. if no try using another KDZ like Germany. Also go through Wolfgarts thread maybe someone had the same problem there.
I'd be interested in seeing how this is done for Rogers too..

Very simply download the LTE On/Off app from the Google Play store, it allows you to set your network to include LTE, which the LG G3 855 does not do by default. Once you have set it to LTE/GSM/WCDMA you should be good to rock and roll. It worked great for me!
I needed Intelli3G to force LTE availability at all times else after a reboot (for example) it will drop to GSM/WCDMA only.

Thanks for the update. I ended up with a D852 and its been good. Haven't missed the FM radio yet. Wireless charging is a nice to have but I can live without it.

I'm running ARHD 5.1.0 on my international unlocked HTC One X.
I'm having a problem with my phone on AT&T. It is switching between H and 3G pretty often, and only H actually functions for data. This is pretty painful, especially when trying to stream Pandora.
I'm looking for help on how to analyse what is happening.
1. How can I see what band it is trying to use on 3G?
2. Is there a way to force it to always use H or EDGE, never 3G?
3. Is there a way to tune the 3G radio for AT&T USA?
4. Is it possible that now that the kernel source is released, the frequency issues can be fixed with kernel drivers?
According to Omega.net, here are the frequencies in my area:

Quick additional questions:
Is AT&T screwing with my signal? Would it make sense to modify the /system/build.prop to masquerade as a different phone?
Would modifying the /system/build.prop allow me to disable all but UTMS-II and UTMS-V?
ro.ril.imc.band=900,1800,1900,850
ro.ril.imc.uband="UMTS_BAND_I","UMTS_BAND_II","UMTS_BAND_V","UMTS_BAND_VIII"
I'm going to try disabling fast dormancy and see how that goes ala this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111581
So far this change has had no effect. I still can't run speedtest.net for example, because it drops from H to 3G, then renegatiates to H again.
All I did was change the build.prop and reboot. Any idea if I have to do something more?
What APN are you using? the default one?
Mine changes to 3G, but only when not using data.......I've had this with every phone besides the Galaxy Nexus which stayed on H most of the time.
But I haven't tried streaming music, as I dont haha...I have it all on my phone.
Try using the Phone APN.
Create a new apn and type in phone for "Name" and phone for "APN" leave the rest blank and save, then click it to enable

You are the MAN! The APN was set to wap.cingular. Using phone as the APN I'm finally getting some Speedtest.net results! I'm going to do more tests, but this looks good so far.

Unlocked SGH-I317M - Rooted - CleanRom 4.0.5
I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I'm not picking up an LTE signal when a friend on a phone tells me to just toggle to LTE in mobile network settings. The only problem is, that doesn't exist on my phone for some reason. All that appears in my mobile network settings is "Mobile data", "Data roaming", "Access Point Names" and "Network operators"...nothing to switch between networks. Why isn't my device displaying this setting?
Did you used to have LTE? Have you added the proper APN settings for your carrier?
Re: No option to toggle between networks?!
Yeah im running the same rom and my LTE works fine. You probably need to flash the K7 modem. There are no settings to switch. Only aosp roms have that option.
Go here to get the modem you need.

No i had an iPhone 5 previous to my note 2 so no LTE (carrier didn't have LTE for them until just a couple days ago.) I have added the APN settings correctly. There is an option within the APN settings called "bearer" where i have the option to select LTE but when i set it to that, i get no data at all so I have to set it back to "unspecified"
If your carrier only got LTE a few days ago your sim card/plan might not have LTE enabled. That possible in your case?
You are lucky I saw this! I just fixed my settings to reenable LTE like 5 minutes ago.
Here you go.
1. Goto Settings-> More Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> Enter these settings.

thanks anyways! I'm beginning to think that it's the ROM that's causing this issue so I'm going to try and go back to stock. Can somebody help me with this? I'm brand new to androids so I'm not very confident with everything yet. How do I go back to stock while staying rooted? and will doing this make my device carrier locked again or will it remain unlocked? I have already done a nandroid and titanium backup but I'm not sure what the next step is. If someone could help me out I'd appreciate it

In the"phone information" app, go to "device information" (first option) and from there you change the "set preferred network type" to LTE only or whatever you want. You can force lte, force Edge(gsm), basically any combo you want to do is available from this menu.

I download the app called "phone info" as the app "phone information" does't seem to exist. There is no first option called device information. As soon as i open the app, i'm on a page when its just a big list of my phones info
It was my ROM that wasn't giving me the option to chose a network mode. I went back to factory and viola it was there. BUT...no WCDMA/LTE option. Only GSM/HSPA. I've been told that there aren't enough towers to support all of the LTE devices, would this be the cause of LTE not showing up in the network mode? I would think that it would still let me chose LTE and just bump me down to HSPA if it couldn't connect. What're your thoughts guys?
Bump!
What CSC are you using? There are some CSC settings that could hide the "LTE" string in network settings, making it go from LTE/GSM/WCDMA, GSM only, WCDMA only to GSM/WCDA, GSM, WCDMA. That was only cosmetic in my case though. (Been a while since I've run the T889V ROM, I expect the I317M's to be similar in that respect.)

The available menus are determined by the modem. On my S4, when I upgraded the phone to 4.3, it required a 4.3-compatible modem, which didn't have the menu you're talking about. So pretty much it's "gone" as far as I know.

Two answers:
The mode preference menu: *#2263#

Both of these also work on the S4 (I know because I still have mine that I'm about to sell). I can't figure out how to get to the old "band/frequency preference" menu though.
I actually saved these in my phone as contacts so I can launch them whenever I want. Hope that's what you were looking for.

Open the phone app like you're going to make a call, click on more, then settings, call settings section, Voice over LTE Settings, Do Not Use VoLTE, then hit ok.
Depending on who you call most, VoLTE will actually help your battery.

Check your baseband version: Settings > About Device (all the way at the bottom) > Baseband Version. You should see a string like G920TUVS3DOJC, that's the latest update; not sure which one added VoLTE, but I know OJ7 had it. This page has a list of the versions.
Just for the record don't think the SM-920F has VoLte setting.

There is a bug that causes Cell Standby to just eat through battery power. I've had mine off since I got my Edge but with all the updates I have not tried it again.
I may want to give it a try since I typically go into the band selection menu and lock in on LTE band 4 (band 12 at work has horrible speeds for data), but that causes me to miss calls since the phone can't switch to HSPA to take the call.

I may want to give it a try since I typically go into the band selection menu and lock in on LTE band 4 (band 12 at work has horrible speeds for data), but that causes me to miss calls since the phone can't switch to HSPA to take the call.

What I meant was to make sure you are up to date with all the carrier / manufacturer updates and you too can see the words floating out of the speaker, this VoLte is like magical unicorns and my battery lasts me a-long-time.
I can't remember when was the last time I plugged a charger wire into my phone.
Oh, I forgot I use a wireless charging pad :sly: ??? Lol.

How to get to "field test mode: and see the Lte Band that the phone is connected ?
Hi.
LTE DIscovery app or any other app says LTE BAND UNKNOWN. I tried also *#*#4636#*#* and also at network type says LTE, unknown.
Do you know how to fix this ? Do you know how I can get to field test mode like in samsung code *#0011# ?
My phone is a zenfone 2 - 551ML.
Thanks !

Me too interested in knowing.
Has this phone been modified in any way? LTE discovery, etc. should have showed the band.

No no modification, no root. As it was from factory. Only installed all the push updates that asus made ...
I use this in dial:
*#*#4636#*#*
I don't know if this is the field test, but inside the first menu I can change the mobile network behavior.
Edit:
Sorry, didn't read all of your post, On my device the mode for 4g is "LTE/GSM auto (PRL)"
It connects in 4G and when the signal goes bad it reverts automatic to hsdpa.
Lte discovery shows band. Is that unknown referring to sim2?

No is refering to sim 1 with lte. Maybe is not working in Greece.

Think it depends on user-submitted data. It doesn't work for me in Japan either - says the carrier but reports LTE, band unknown.
I can't understand the reason why we can't know the LTE band in stock rom.

Good question. Is a good idea to post on asus forum your question http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php
If many people do that they may find a solution.
LTE,unknown if you want it fix, you gotta write a petition to your telco and get them to script it.
most telco won't bother to do that as it is not important value. what is important to network engineers are the decibels, the LAC, maybe CID, the list rate, the smsc number etc.

But with the same company and different smartphone I was able to know the 4g band
This may help
If you use nova launcher and set up an activity widget, one of the activities is "field test mode". Set it up on the home screen and click it. Or use shortcut master to launcg the activity. Either way takes you to a menu i hadnt been to yet and it may provide answers. It has 4 options: UMTS, UICC, LTE & ASUS CUSTOM. In here you can change your band preferences and switch usb from vendor to asus usb
