did u make sure your APN is set properly ?
GOTO settings(tab view) ~ Networks ~ More ~ Mobile networks ~ Sim card 1 ~ Access point names~ and make sure its there configured properly and selected as default data APN
your screenshot shows you enabled the data but doesn't show a data logo at the bar weather it was 2-3-4g or lte
i found out as well that if your provider doesn't allow 4g-LTE on certain data packages then it wont connect to it unless its 2-3g
try the APN first , if its not that then do get in touch with your provider and make sure ur phone number/data plan is eligible for 4g-lte service
my APN configured well and my sim was subscribed to 4g data, actually the 1st lg g4 i bought the 4g icon appear because i had a problem on camera on that phone i returned it and they give me this phone but the problem now is the 4g icon.

smthn went wrong with my SGW and since then when i turn my network mode into "GSM only" it doesnt connect to my service provider (instead of writing the name of my band it writes 'emergency calls only) inspite of the fact that the network icon in the status bar is showing a present network

whats meant by telco ?? (im from egypt so idk the meaning of sm words )
my provider supports GSM and i used to work on it alot since the 3G consumes more battery but my phone crashed once and since then i cant get the GSM working even after getting a whole new stock rom
You set up APN for your Service Provider??
Settings/Wireless & Networks/Mobile Networks/Access Point Names
Here you need settings from your provider, to allow you use Mobile Internet, MMS
Usually, these are there, in Stock ROM.....but, not necessarily with new Custom Roms.
Perhaps these are missing, if so, you need to contact provider, or check on-line with provider. Settings can be sent via SMS from provider.. ..otherwise need to be entered manually!!

i already did it before and its working very well on the 3G but the problem is wn i get on 2G i cant access network or even make ordinary phone calls 'only stuck with the emergency calls only'
btw the pic i sent is wn im working on GSM (2G) while wn i work on 3G it tells me me band name instead of 'emergency calls only' and on 3G i can access network and make phone calls while on 2G i cant do these stuff
ive also changed the SIM card to another provider and its still exactly the same issue
I just got a N7505 and with Rogers in Canada.
Data connection is sporadic. It will not work for few minutes occasionally and it is getting annoying.
I checked the APN settings and they are correct.
Any suggestions?

What u mean for "SPORADIC"? is it mean the data connection is on/off? how about your sim card line? is it 3G or 4G?

Sporadic as in, it sometimes works, and sometimes not.
Wifi is fine, but mobile data (4G/LTE) is not. With the same SIM card, mobile data (LTE) works fine on LG Optimus G.

In my case... my sim is 3G..but i've set in Mobile Network is "LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)" at first.. then i found out my data connection same with u.. sometimes on & off... telco company advise me change to "WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)". Since my operator line area still not available for LTE service. After i changed it.. then works fine.
U try to change first, then we'll see..is it ok or not.
Here in U.A.E i was facing the same issue as a work around i go to SETTING , MORE NETWORKS i then MOBILE NETWORKS and in NETWORK MODE manually select WCDMA/GSM as off course i wont able to get LTE but data speed is much better and no signal problem what so ever.
My carrier does not use WCDMA, just LTE/GSM.
Is there a code from dialpad to get into backend settings? For instance, with my other phone (Galaxy Note 1), I can dial *#*#4636#*#* to get into phone settings for more options for network connection.
I converted my VZW Note 4 to the De edition and i flashed cm13 and now it doesn't show 4G LTE anywhere and not even 3G, but it says i have service to VZW, but when i turn on the data it doesn't load anything and i've switched the settings around a lot and tried changing the APN and none of it has worked so far. I've tried a lot of things, i've flashed other roms and my data goes right back to 4G LTE, i've changed some of the settings in the mobile data and i've only managed to get it on x1. I can't add APN, and if i do change it, it disappears from the list. Also in my system info under sim status it says cellular network state: disconnected. pls help me

I just bought mate 20x Global version EVR-L29
my problem is I am unable to connect to my 4g network
I tried to install apps like settings database editor to force 4G/LTE only for Huawei
but every time I pick LTE only or GSM/WCDMA/LTE or any type of settings my connection to my mobile network stop working
I lose mobile network connection and I am unable to do basic phone calls
The only way for me to make phone calls is when I pick up GSM ONLY
Any suggestions on what is wrong with my phone or what I should do?
I live now in Egypt using Vodafone network . The phone was bought from the USA.
thank you in advance for your help
Have you gone into your network settings and manually changed your apn settings to work with Vodafone? Google search Vodafone Egypt 4G apn settings or call Vodafone to get them. See if what you already have on your phone is the same.

I did the following so far and with no sucess
1-factory reset
2-tried 3 different sim cards with 3 different networks each one with the right APN settings sent to me from network operator.So i have no problem with sim cards for sure.
3-installed an app called settong database editor and changed hardware network preference to "11" an advice given on youtube to enable me to force phone to operate on LTE only
NONE OF THE ABOVE RESOLVED MY PROBLEM
I Still lose connection with network and unable to do phone calls once i pick any settings but "GSM only " for data connection.
I do not know what to do.
What version Android do you have? If it's 10 then you need to install the APN manually.

You living in bad area where 4g is cancelled by something
I'm on EE UK but the preferred network type setting doesn't appear to be present in SIM options?
It appears that some providers suck hard and don't want to allow you to switch networks. That's not a phone thing-y, it's a provider thing-y. Which means that your phone will of course still change networks, but only if the "higher" one is not available, ergo your phone will only connect to 4G, if 5G is not available - if the 5G connection is bad, that will probably cause problems for you, because your phone will probably not want to connect to 4G automatically.
I can easily switch preferred network types
Settings -> Network & Speed -> SIMs -> (scroll down, between 4G Calling & Carrier settings version) -> Preferred network type (5G, 4G, 3G, 2G).
It that's not available, your network carrier sucks. No more to say here.
I'd suggest you either switch providers, or contact your provider to see if they are willing to change this. It's definitely on their end, cuz people like me can change the settings easily.

You may be able to change preferred network type with *#*#4636#*#* dialer code.

EE (& BT Mobile) hide the menu.

Or you could just make sure Adaptive Connectivity is enabled and not worry about it.
You would have to drag me away from EE (BT Mobile) screaming and kicking given the coverage and speeds they have, to say they suck over one menu option missing is absolutely laughable.

When the Note 20 first came out a lot of carriers wouldn't let you change network type but there's an app in the play store that was working on the notes.
Force 4G/5G Only - Apps on Google Play
Lock your phone to 4G/5G mode or VoLTE network
play.google.com

Crashes or alternately just disappeared for me when I click on the first option "4G LTE with only one SIM". Reported the crash. Thanks, though. Maybe they'll update it.
An alternative to the dialer code is to boot into safe mode, and the preferred network type setting will appear in: Settings -> Network & internet -> SIMs between Data warning & limit and Carrier settings version (at least it does on my Google Fi Pixel 6 Pro).
