Hi
apologies in advance for this but its been driving me mad all day.
I recently got the 8.0 4G - Model number SM-T315 on stock up to date firmware from an O2 shop and have an active 4G sim but in Mobile Networks>Network mode I cannot select LTE/WCDMA/GSM as that option simply does not exist only GSM/WCDMA is available even when I am in an area I know has good coverage.
The sim will connect fine with another device though so not the network or sim.
Am I missing a setting somewhere or could I have a hardware problem or is the stock firmware just crap.
i don't want to flash it with a modded rom at the moment because of warranty although I have rooted it.
Any help appreciated

If you have 4G it will say under band i think
And you do have 4G contract with your carrier
Yes. the SIM work my other phone in LTE network

I'm having the same problem with Three UK, no 4G. Although 4G worked on my Lumia 1020 with the same SIM a few days ago.
If I go into the hidden menu under LTE you can set it to use LTE and it connects to 4G brefiely then goes back to 3G and it never shows GSM/ WCDMA / LTE auto in the mobile networks menu, just GSm / WCDMA auto.
I noticed on the demo unit in a Three store that the phones software version was V10a-EUR-XX whereas mine is V10g-HKG-XX.

if you have root you can try deleting (or renaming) LTE Config.apk from /system/app

Is there anything that can be done without root? I've tried setting the LTE in the hidden services menu and it connects foe a few seconds and then goes back to HSDPA. If seeting to LTE only it stays on LTE but not sure how it will work if I leave 4G coverage? I've also enabled fast dormancy but that doesn't seem to help.
There was a discussion about this in the UK thread, some phones came with 4G deactivated (on the 800MHz band used by 3 and Vodafone) that had to be activated at every boot. Replacing it fixed the problem as its not supposed to happen. But since the phone is from Asia who knows. Im not sure if flashing the eur version of the rom would work?

fast dormancy is a network dependant setting that has nothing to do with the generation of signal you are receiving.
The only other option you have is to try and flash another firmware version.

LTE will work from the hidden menu, or download 4G switcher from the Play store which will take you to the menu also. Just change it to LTE/GSM/WCDMA and it will work on the 4G network (at least on 3 UK). LG UK support will not help as it came from HK. I still want to know if I can flash a Euro 32GB ROM to my phone to get it working natively.
make sure u have activate your LTE with your carrier,i you have done it,and still didnt have LTE, try the hidden menu,or try 4G switch frm playstore,rooting and deleting lteconfig from system/app would be your last option (i prefer this)

thank you, this fixed my problem!
my lte/3g/2g settings was everytime reset to 2g/3g modus when i got back to settings. i deleted lte config.apk and the .odex file, rebooted and BAM! it keeps on lte/3g/2g
Solved
I had the same issue (no LTE option in Networks configuration menu), until today: My phone installed firmware V10i-HKG-XX, and now I have the "GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto" option in Preferred Network Mode.
Cheers

Do the following -
1. From the dailer, type in 3845#*855#
2. Select LTE Only
3. Modem Setting
4. RAT Selection
5. GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto
You should now receive 4G but everytime you reboot, you have to repeat this procedure
[Q] Is there an option to force LTE only?

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
3845#*Your model#

@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.

Hi, I am new to the forum and want to share my experience about LTE BandSelection.
As discussed in the previous thread, you can access to Verizon Hidden Menu called LTEBANDSELECTION. By default, Band2 Band4 Band13 are checked and Band5 is unchecked. However, from LG website LTE 3/7 is supported for Roaming, but those bands are not on the list.
I can confirm that at least Band3 is working because I am on a carrier that uses Band8 and Band3. The problem is that, when I try to change the LTE band selections above (ex: adding Band5 to the list), it seems that LTE3/7 is not working anymore. After changing it once, I only get 3G signal without any LTE. The only way that I can get the Band3 signal again is going back to the original stock rom (13b) again.
It is weired that there is no hidden menu to select Band3/7. Do you have any idea on this problem? Thanks!
Hi guys.
I can't find the option on "mobile network" to change the network to auto 4G or 2G only ect...
Now i do have only 3G enabled while the 4G existed on my area (my friend has it)
So i want to know how to change it on LG G7 korea. Because it seems not the same settings it got.
I tried *#546368#*710# and *#*#4636#*#* but nothing happened.
