Help! 4G Network mode disappeared after update - Galaxy S 4 Active General

I received the update to BMK2 a few days ago. At the time I was in Sweden and prior to the update had been using 4G at times.
I just arrived in Bangkok and upon checking my network mode in settings>>connections tab>>more networks>>mobile networks>>network mode I only have two network modes available instead of three:
WCDMA/GSM (Auto connect)
WCDMA Only
GSM Only
Where did 4G/LTE go? I think something is wrong here. I'm on the I9295 international version. Does anyone else have this issue? What does it say in your settings?

Problem solved. The Swedish simcard activates the 4G/LTE option again. The issue seems to be the Thai simcard.

No 3G since FRF83

Any solution?
Only GPRS/EDGE does work, if 3G is available, it disconnects automatically until 3G isn't available.
Solution: Set to 2G-Only :-(
Anyone has the same problem?
I didn't have this problem with FRF 72.
Provider: Sunrise Switzerland
Radio: 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7
Have you tried going into your phone settings from *#*#4636#*#* and setting it to wcdma only? I did that on mine not too long ago and no more dropping to edge for me!

does it lose complete signal? or does it show 3g still but just not doing anything?
Mine was working at first after flash. Then at about 2am it just kept trying to load then times out. Still shows 3g but just dont do anything. Im hoping its just tmobile messing with their towers... I dont see why it would work at first then not now..
The problem is, that i can only have a internet connection, when the phone is logged in into a gsm or edge network.
as soon as wcdma is available, the phone disconnects from the internet.
the signal is always available, but it looses the internet connection when it changes to 3G mode.
when the phone changes from 2G->3G mode, i see for 1s the 3G icon and then no icon will bi there.
when it changes back from 3G->2G, the EDGE/GPRS icon is visible again.

ok thanks for clarification. My problem is different. I think related to phone company.. I still show the 3g signal and even have bars, but the pages dont load and eventually gives me the check your service and try again alert....
So Im hoping soon its working again for me... And I hope you as well figure it out.....
Thank you Good luck!
Had the same issue after update, did *#*#4636#*#* and noticed I was set to GSM only. Set it to WCDMA preferred and now it's good.
Thank you very much, thats the solution!!

Thank you. Updated to FRF83 this morning and I've had a full 3g signal, just couldn't pull data all day. Could over edge. Sure enough, GSM only was selected.
AT&T N1.
I'm having the same issue on a non-rooted phone on T-Mobile. No 3G after the FRF83 update. Full bars of service and 3G displayed in the status bar. Dropping to Edge only works but there is no data with 3G.

Same issue here.
Switching to WCDMA preferred doesn't work for me though.....any help is welcome
I think it's a hardware problem with a lot of N1's.
Mine was ok the first 2 months, and later, 3g not working. This is driving me crazy ):
I have tried everything. Change the simcard, I did a reset of the data with my telcon, and nothing happens.
I've seen these problems on many N1's.
I hope google / htc release a fix for this problem.

how bout checking your bands in the service menu. so *#*#4636#*#* -> phone info -> press the menu key for more options -> select bands -> choose one appropriate for your region (ie "USA BANDS").
If all else fails do a factory reset by going to the settings -> privacy -> restore factory defaults.. of course do a backup/sync/whatever before just to make sure you can get all your apps back.
There's other ways to do a factory reset via the bootloader .. its under recovery and you press up volume or the trackball I think and you can just select all the clear/erase settings there and that should clear out everything on the phone's internal storage.
The factory reset worked for me (via bootloader) when I upped from update-1 to FRF50 and didn't have any data icon next to my signal strength. Could call out but couldn't get data.
Hope that helps.

Check your APN settings. Do a full factory reset from the bootloader. If nothing works you should call tech support again. Most 3g issues where you have issues with connecting are service/signal level related. I *****ed early about my 3g issues on tmobile and it was the network as they've pretty much gone away with improving the backhaul in my area for HSDPA+ or updates to the phone's radio.
HTC is really really really cool about swapping phones and repairing them. If you feel you have a nexus that has hardware issues call them. I did this 3 times already (one time for minor cosmetic issues with the refurb they sent) and I couldn't be happier about how willing they were to replace/repair the phone. It turns out I really didn't have any issues with them at all.. with any issues with hardware from the second refurbished phone. It was service or software related and I'm happy to say with updates/tmobile service improvements I couldn't be happier with this phone.

Thanks blisk, but the thing I don't understand is why Blackberry 9700 with T-Mobile bands, doesn't have problems at all ?
By the way, I rooted my phone , so the thing with the warranty it's complicated
I had it happen last night at work all night, but when i got home i checked my wife's tp2 and it also was doing the same thing so for levity wasn't the phone but tmobile. They started worming the same time also.... I think its tmobile.
Hello, I had the same problem with my imported n1. I'm using the tmobile version non rooted fully stock manually updated to frf83. I did a *#*#4636#*#* and selected wcdma only, rebooted and couldn't connect to my gsm network. Went in again and did a wcdma preferred, rebooted, and I works better, still changes fast to edge and G, but less often, I'm still trying it but I have high hopes its gonna be ok
Mmmm i did have problems with 3G too after pushing FRF83, but i found out that for some reason the APN settings weren't set correctly after the update. In my case the port setting after the proxy of the APN wasn't set, i changed to the correct value and it worked.
In conclusion, check your APN settings.
Just went from FRF72 to FRF83 and it's working fine.
I'm currently set to GSM auto (PRL) in the *#*#4636#*#* and I didn't change it to that after putting on FRF83.

[Q] Help, SGS has no signal sometimes

My phone is from UK orange. my phone has great signal at home and office.
However, after I upgraded to Froyo JPO version firmware, my phone has signal in my office with 3G but has no signal at home and some other places where the 3g signal is weak or not working. This is very annoying. Please anyone can help me?
My original firmware: JP5/JP3/JP1
My current firmware: XXJPO/XXJPP/XAJPO
MY Production code: I9000HKDORA
Tonight I try to flash lots of versions from samfirmware.com but there is no signal for all firmwares.
Please can anyone help me? It seems that my current wersion does not support 2G signal???
Thanks in advance
can you check your IMEI in the phone (settings>about phone>status) and compare it with the IMEI indicated in the box (or remove teh battery and there should be a sticker at the back of teh phone with your IMEI).
Note: Also check if your APN settings are correct and complete. It might have been deleted or changed after the flash.
I have checked the imei, it is the same. The apn is orangeinternet, I think it is correct.
When I go to somewhere, the phone can be used with symbol of 3g or E or H, but at home only signal bar shown and emergency call only.

It is GSM/WCDMA (auto mode) selected.
I remember I can only choose 3G and wireless network when I just flash the FROYO JPO firmware...
It is possible that orange are working on the network. I had similar issues a few weeks ago (I'm in the southeast) bit is now fine. You could go see your local orange guys and ask.

But I can use this sim card on the other phone, like HTC HD2, perfectly at home. Does the SGS have such bug? I am in the southwest.
try see if you have the missing 850 band bug?

I remember recently after I crossed the border (from US back home to Canada), my phone was not reconnecting to my home carrier. I had gone into that same menu you are showing, and whenever I chose the Bell LTE one, it would never connect. So I stuck with just the 3G one. It connected fine and I automatically get LTE whenever I'm in an LTE zone. ( I wonder if yours will do the same? )
Could this also be a matter of dialling *#*#4636#*#* and going to Phone Info, then scrolling down and checking if LTE is preferred?
Or - going into Settings, More, Mobile Networks, Network Mode and choosing LTE preferred?

No LTE with Concept Firmware

Hi,
I've got a big issue with Concept Software.
There's no LTE connection available.
I'm using latest Concept Edition 3571 on my D5803.
Any ideas how to solve?
LTE is working on Concept ROM
Is your APN correct?
Yes, APN settings should be ok.
With stock rom LTE was working properly.
Any other ideas?
I had the same problem at the beginning.
How it solved: went into service menu: *#*#SERVICE#*#* and chose LTE only.
After that, I could use the regular user interface choice and has worked ever since.

I've got the same issue on T-Mobile, with build number MMB29V.Z1.3571-somc. I tried the fix you suggested through the SERVICE menu and selected LTE only, but that just resulted in my phone displaying as no reception. Any other ideas anyone might have would be greatly appreciated!
What setting do you have at Wireless & networks / More / Cellular networks / Preferred network type? I have "LTE (recommended)", and my phone connects at LTE if available (with "LTE" displayed at the top) , but at older protocols if not.
Thanks for your replies but the SERVICE menu hint also doesn't work for me.
Seems that I've got the same problem as hwcl.

NO Service on XT1052

I have got moto-x xt1052 running lollipop Asia version
Network works fine in gsm (2G) mode but it shows no service in 3G and LTE mode
Vodafone IN 2G works not 3G and 4G, Reliance JIO doesn't works since it has only LTE
I tried resetting the phone and flashed the stock rom
Run test in *#*#INFO#*#* mode, in SMSC it shows my number
Even flashed the modem files but also it show no service
How can i get back LTE mode?, help me guys
Since a few days ago, my Moto X also has no service, regardless of what the preferred mode is set to. It simply sees no carriers at all. Anybody got an idea how I can debug this? One idea is that the GSM antenna has disconnected itself somehow, but I don't even know where it is.
