Hi guys,
I just bought this phone a couple of weeks ago and i've been trying to get LTE working and I can't. Could you guys guide me to the correct APN for LTE and MMS.
Thanks in advanced.
That's all dependent on the carrier that you are with.
If you find that adding the APN doesn't get you LTE connectivity (but it does get you 3g or 3g+)... maybe try Settings, More, Mobile Networks, Network Mode and see if LTE is selectable there. Or dial *#*#4636#*#* , go to Phone Info, scroll down, and choose an LTE/GSM preferred network type?

While messing with the setting in the hidden Menu.
I unlock the T-Mobile LTE Network on My US Cellular GS3
Internet: T-Mobile US LTE
Band: LTE:14
Data Speeds 20mbps down 3.6 mbps up
Mms: Works Flawless
Now My Problem. i cant make a phone call or receive a phone call
My Setting
Hidden Menu: *#22745927
enable hidden menu
*#197328640#
[1] UMTS > DEBUG SCREEN > PHONE CONTROL > NETWORK CONTROL > BAND SELECTION to set GSM Band preference
[2] CDMA > COMMON > NEXT PAGE > NEXT PAGE > PREF MODE SET to select GSM/WCDMA ONLY
SIM>TEST CSIM
WAIT 90 SECONDS THE REBOOT
VOILA! TMOBILE LTE.
Now i have succesfully unlock The Verison GS3 to Tmobile on Edge is there a way to port that radio. to get cell connectivity.
or if anyone want to try to tweak these settings to get more than just LTE connection. or get Voice over LTE working!
I do believe that you need the HSPA radio to make phone calls as T-Mobile does not yet support VoLTE.

What are you doing for apn setting? There are 3 for tmo-us that I know of. 1)gsm 2)lte 3)lte ipv6. You may have to down load an apn app. Apn manager pro worked well for me or offline sim apn database. Not sure what you use for network mode settings but use build prop editort open it up and find the settings telephony.lteoncdmadevice & telephony.lteongsmdevice use value 1 on both. Add lines if not there. This may open up more network types under setting/...network mode. Google build prop edit or tweaks to find more info. Good luck.
i535 radio/modem
Been thinking about you question to swap modems. Do not use the i535. The modem that would be ideal I believe is the r530m. That is metro PC variant. T-Mobile merged with the.... Do I need to explain more? Any how I can not say it will even work. I will say that T999L is no good. Found out first hand and still dead in the water with it. I would explore the APN settings and network selection modes with build prop mods before flashing. I am not even sure about the LTE bands and who has what and where. If I am able to revive my 530u I will see what I can find.
Where can I get the r530m modem? Can't find it anywhere.

So, is it possible to flash the R530M modem????
I know the setting was available in mobile network I part of the menu but it gone now. Tired the service menu code and seems AT&T blocked them out. Anyone figured out how to change down from LTE to HSPA
*#*#4634#*#*
So I own a D851, currently on T-Mobile with good LTE speeds in my area but quite often the phone switches to HSPA and doesn't utilize LTE coverage when I need it. I end up having to either switch data off/on or accessing the radio settings menu and setting it to LTE ONLY. I understand the slower network coverage saves battery but to just stay there I don't get when I'm getting download speeds of 9mb on HSPA and 30mb on LTE in the exact same spot. The thing that sucks about setting the radio to LTE ONLY is that I can't browse while on a call. Anyone know a workaround?

I had the same issue with ATT, unlocked phone. Made sure the APN was correct, tried may other APN settings, and finally called Consumer Cellular. They advised I did, indeed, have the correct APN (my first version). They did some type of reset on their end, and viola.
On my OnePlus it was the similar. APN was correct, same APN as the G3, but until I called CC, and their reset, phone would not show LTE at all, only H and H+
apn settings?

What are the apn settings that are working for you? I've tried several times to address this issue with CC but lte STILL isnt working on either of our 2 devices. Had no problems when used with an att account.
I am still having this same problem on my LG G3 (vs985) on Cricket Wireless
Hi am running 4.4.2 stock on F240L and right now only getting 3G, I am on EE T-Mobile 4G LTE plan in U.K.
Problem is when I put my carrier APN settings in and save them they are not selectable and the top 2 on the screen are but are not my settings and they cannot be edited too, so im stuck with only 3G..
Plus under About Phone, Network, Mobile network type, its states it as HSPA ..
Thanks in advance..
hello! i have g3 d850 at&t and its unlocked but i have problems while i try to connect phone with 3g or 4g lte data, signal bar ddisappears when i force connect with wcdma or lte. gsm work well. apn is ok. o g2 i have 3g 4g lte ok, with same apn and same parameters but on g3 i can connect only with 2g or E. please help me!
Same happen to me
Kind of the same happens to me(I'm in Claro - Argentina provider) and also D855
Signal bars go when i select WCDMA only but when i go LTE/WCDMA/GSM, i do get 3G+ but after a while (dont know if its when the device goes to sleep or idk, but after 30+- minutes) the modem stop responding, i can't make calls, get them or get any data.
I havent been able to find why this happens (tried different versions modem) and roms.... any help would also be apreciated.
I get it sometimes too and for me the solution is changing the APN. Sometimes carriers have different apns like "vodafone live" and "vodafone internet". So be sure you choose the right apn settings.
