[Q] not supporting LTE ?! - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi people !
I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab s 10.5" LTE veriosn, at least that what the box says
also the code written in the about menu, and also on back cover of the device says it is a SM-T805
which supposedly should support LTE networks, but when I check the 'Network mode' menu from 'Mobile networkd', in settings, connection I just see ('WCDMA/GSM' , WCDMA only and GSM only) shouldn't I see something about LTE over here?
does my device support LTE ?! , is there any version of Galaxy Tab s which does not support LTE at all ? (while it supports WCDMA(3G) ) ?

My SM-T805 is running fine with LTE and the cm11 rom. Which rom do you use?

Where are you located and where did you get the tablet from? Did you import? There is no LTE in america unless get the version from the carrier eg Sprint/verizon.

Probaby related to the rom you're using. There is a way to enable it. Its posted on this forum somewhere.

Nope. They'll let you lock out LTE, but the mode options are as follows:
GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto
GSM/WCDMA Auto (no LTE)
WCDMA Only (No GSM or LTE)
GSM Only (No WCDMA or LTE)
I was happy to find this much, I came from AT&T, which doesn't let you do any of this. Given T-Mobile's incomplete LTE deployment, I can understand not putting in an LTE Only option, they're not going to be fully deployed until mid 2015.
Maybe once they're more deployed they'll add an LTE Only option.
LTE only would give you data only. You need hspa for voice. Until voice over LTE is regular, you won't see this option
Data is all I need. Was just curious. Maybe once CM hits the G3. Thanks for all the feedback.
Hi
Open the dialer and inter this numbers:
3845#*851#
Then choose:
LTE-Only > modem setting > RAT Selection > LTE Only
if u having other models like D855 - D856 - D858 or any LG device running android lollipop u can use this method

@al5zMri thanks a lot man!!! This works on d855 i have unlimited LTE data plan but... only LTE -_- so it was incredibly annoying to constantly check connection mode while downloading. Now i wont waste money anymore!!!
Hi. It worked well on my G3-855, to force LTE only. But once the phone is forced to LTE only , now how to go back to the menu to cancel the "LTE only" if I need to registrer on an GSM or a 3G network ? Now once it's on "LTE only" which works fine for LTE, I can't enter anymore the hidden menu, the phone dosen't "dial" any number as it can't find a network to dial on. LTE is considered as a not dialing mode - it's data only. Thanks.

Think you have to be rooted. Install the app Advanced Signal Status and under "additional info", then "device info" you can choose for different options.

when I am using my galaxy note 3, I input *#2263# to go to a menu where I can force LTE/WCMA my device and mostly it connects to only LTE.
in the Galaxy tab S , the code works but the option for LTE only is missing. so now I continuously connect to a slow 3g network.. bummer...
*UPDATE:
apparently you have to deselect all GSM bands and just select all LTE and WCMA bands.. you wont be able to use GSM bands but your device will lock on to LTE connections if avaialbe, 3g will apply if LTE is unavailable. hope this helps

Have you enabled the APN settings?
Settings --> Connections --> More Networks --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names
You need to get the APN settings from your service provider and make sure they are entered.

[Q] Can't find LTE Option!!!!

[Q] [SGH-M919v] Galaxy S4 no LTE

Hello,
I have an open-line Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919v) and the problem is that I can't use the LTE feature of this device even though there is a sticker of LTE on the phone. The network mode option doesn't show LTE option as it only says WCDMA/GSM, WCDMA Only and GSM Only. I also tried to change the settings in *#2263# but selecting LTE changes the Signal bars to " Ø " I upgraded from Kitkat (4.4.2) to Lollipop(OTA) and still the LTE option on Network mode is missing.
I am using an LTE sim and also am very sure that I am in an LTE spot. The phone was from Canada but I don't know which network specifically it was subscribed to as it was only given to me.
Hoping to fix this problem as soon as possible, Thank you.
You should ask here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile
But probably there isn't anything you can do. You phone doesn't really support LTE. It support some bands, but your provider is probably using a different band for LTE. So your phone will never get LTE with that provider.
Choose "automatic" after dialing *#2263*
Worked for me.
Sent from M919V Galaxy S4 via XDA Premium HD app.
I had a vzw s4 and was able to get lte in a hybrid att area. I had to use lte specific locked band in the options and would change to gsm or automatic when i left the hybrid area to be able to place calls etc. In the hybrid area everything worked fine.
