[Q] Not able to pick up a 4G LTE signal on my i9305... - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 I9305 LTE which is originally from Three UK, but I have tried a couple of stock roms, one of which was unbranded from Germany and another one which is the EE UK one, all of these on Android 4.3.
Now my phone is able to pick up a 2G or 3G signal (be it 3G/H/H+ whatever) but it will not pick up a 4G LTE signal even though the same EE4G sim card I have will work perfectly fine with signal in my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 LTE?
What am i doing wrong or is there any way to enable the phone to actually use 4G? (I have made sure the network mode is set to include 4G as "Auto Mode")
~ Many thanks for anyone who is able to offer me the time to help ~

Maybe try another modem. I am from Germany and had to change modem from xxuemkc modem to xxbme1 modem, because lte didn't work on first modem, either.
Try one of these

Hi, I have managed to solve my own question but thank you ever so much for taking the time to help me
It turns out that I had to downgrade my phone to 4.1.2 through Mobile Odin and then enter Service Mode and from the Debug Menu there is an somewhere within the UMTS, DRX Control option to enable LTE DRX 0X1 1X0 or something on those lines, so I enabled it and voila i now get 4G!

[Q] m110s EDGE problem

hi guys
there is a problem need u help
I brought a m110s I9k's Kroean version
It said that it support to work in edge network
but whatever any roms ,there is only G!
i want to konw why?!!!!
and how to slove it
THX!
that sounds like an area reception problem
G (GPRS) and 2G (EDGE) they both run on the international quad band 850/900/1900/2100
I'm a little confused, you have 3g working but you'd rather have edge? 3g is the faster network and possibly the stronger signal, so your phone would prefer to connect to that network. If you are using an older firmware you can play around with the secret codes found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=721111&highlight=Secret+codes
best code for you to check out would probably be *#*#4636#*#* however Samsung removed or broke these codes 1 or 2 firmware updates ago. Also, you can look into the wireless and network settings and go to the bottom and turn off 3g. Please note that the phone and/or some carriers might not allow data over 2g, I know my carrier doesn't and this phone is designed to be optimized for SKT.
Please let me know if I'm confused about your question and i'll try to rephrase If I can better help you.

thanks 4 u answer,but my operator——China Mobile is support another 3G,TD-SCDMA,so i can‘t use wcdma。and CM is supply edge,so i don’t why,maybe samsung block it。
I was confused because I thought you were connected to "G" (I thought you saw a "G" on your notification bar). Have you tried to disable "3G", this might be able to force you onto an edge network, I don't think it'll work, but it's worth a try if the code I mentioned doesn't work.
Go to settings > wireless & network > 3G data call settings > select "no"

i want to know dose m110s support EDGE in China?
i see that in #*4636#,the network type is GPRS,how to change in EDGE?
even if you managed to change the settings to EDGE, it wont work
if GPRS is the fastest service provided by the cell phone network
last time i was visiting Cuba, their fastest network wsa only GPRS

As far as I know, it was blocked, and not without support。
The problem is how to get his support, the same as moto xt701。
maybe it as same as xt701,like you said.
change the radio band maybe will slove the problem ,take it from the euro band or hk band

I didn't see this post from you, you can access settings I can't so we are probably on different FW versions DONT UPDATE:

Doesn't china use different gsm networks?
I am having problems with internet all together. I have the Anycall Korean Samsung Galaxy S shw-m110s but I live in the United States and use AT&T but cannot seem to get the internet to work. I entered the correct APN settings but cannot even get an EDGE signal. Anyone have any ideas?
Can any one help to transplant baseband from i9000 to m110s?
Because EDGE is so important for China Mobile. It is hard to afford WCDMA. Thanks!

[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.

LTE on my 910H

First of all let me apologize to all those who I did not believe when they said they got LTE on their H version of the Note 4.
What I did was download the C version for Croatia (tele2) from www.sammobile.com.
I then removed the modem, hidden, and, sboot.bin from the firmware and re-packaged it using TAR_MD5_PACKAGER.
In recovery I factory reset the device, powered off and installed my packaged MD5 of Croatia (tele2) using Odin.
Then I flashed a C version modem even though it failed.
The problem is after a while I loose LTE. It will switch from LTE to 3G then to HSPA+.
I have changed my build prop to mimic an AT&T phone as well as the CSC others.xml file to mimic an AT&T phone and used AT&T's NxtGen APN but eventually I will lose LTE.
I can go into settings then More networks then Mobile networks then chose Network mode and switch from LTE/WCDMA/GSM to WCDMA/GSM and then back to LTE/WCDMA/GSM to get LTE working again but eventually I lose LTE and am back to H+.
I have done speed tests and I do get comparable speeds that I normally get on my AT&T LTE devices so I am sure that I am really getting LTE. Has anyone figured out a way to keep LTE without having to restart or go through the settings to get it back?
By the way I am not sure that it matters what firmware of the C version you use as long as you factory reset.
Edit: Added another screenshot, it seems that it only kicks me off of LTE when the signal is too weak and the phone has switched back to LTE at times on it's own.
Sounds like you need to either reinstall the original stock firmware for your Note 4 or install another custom ROM for it. As it seems the LTE drivers for the ROM that you are currently using aren't working very well.
Or your Note 4 may have developed a fault and needs to be repaired/replaced.
Also since you have a N910H, which is a 3G model of the Note 4 you should not have LTE/4G capabilities.

SM-N950N CSC change

So i bought the N950N version from SK (kt branded) is there any way to change the csc to multi? I live in italy so i need the ITV one. Im asking this becuase the mobile data icon stays on 3G while on my S6E+ chamges to H+ (don't have 4G acrivated because of reasons). The speedtest also shows a big differnce in DL from the 2 phones.
Thanks in advance

I don't think the CSC change would help you as your issue is with the radio which is in CP file. It is not an icon or preinstalled apps as you have described. There was a speed difference so it is most likely a 3G band compatibility issue.

Thanks for the reply kalm.
The bands are the following, may not be exhaustive though.
2G/3G 900/2100 MHz UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+, DC-HSPA+
4G 1800/2600 MHz LTE
The rom i was talking about it's the original firmware that can be find on sammobile; can i flash it? Dovi need root permissions in order to flash it?

You won't be able to flash a 950F firmware with Odin, but you can install TWRP and flash a ROM in a zip file that way. Root has nothing to do with this method because the entire system is replaced.

Sorry to bother ypu again, went on device information, under sim status and noticed that it is actually HSPA+. Could this mean that is just the data icon not changing but it actually connects to H+ network?

yes, the icon displayed is based on which CSC is loaded. HSPA is technically a 3G technology, so some companies display it this way. Some companies call HSPA+ 4G, and some call LTE 4G.
Can you download the app LTE Discovery and see which type of network you are connecting to?

Hi, I am new on this forum and I reached here searching for the same issue.
I bought a galaxy note 8 SM-N950N, single sim, 64 Gb it’s the korean model.
Since I am italian and soon will go back to Italy, I’d like to know if is it possible to flash a stock italian or at least european rom.
And if you have any suggestion about which one should I use, for the moment I understood that I should flash the twrp and then put a zip file with the rom.
Is it possible to do it also without triggering the knox?
Thanks in advance.

I have a N950N here in the UK and it works no problem. At first my phone wasn't on LTE but I went to general management, and reset my network connections and it picks up LTE fine. Have you managed to figure it out already?

Go to settings, general management, reset, then reset network settings. You will have to re-enter WiFi passwords though, but hopefully that will fix it for you

That's strange, I don't have a problem and I didn't change the CSC for it. I think there are some threads here on how to change the CSC from a 950N, but you would have to root the phone. I haven't done that so I won't be a help in that. Good luck, and let us know if you get it sorted.

How to force 4g LTE on sim 1 or sim 2 as needed?

I am using the dual sim Exynos version of Note 9 and want to be able to force 4g LTE on either of the two sims as needed.
Can someone please advise how to do this on an unrooted phone? Thanks
Anyone?
I also found no solution. I think it's possible without root but no one is updating the Phone Information Apps. We need to get access at phone information 2 and not only on 1
Mine are both 4G / LTE. Inever need to switch the Sims around. Whichever I choose for days gets LTE. this is different from what I had in the Note 8. I was pleasantly surprised. Therefore it may be a settings issue for you. I have the Note 960F/D
you may try quickshortcutmaker app on exynis version and follow instructions in video
https://youtu.be/AdGAB4qRvYA
I feel like the Tasker App could handle this easily.
I dont understand the actual need.
Simply changing preferred network mode from LTE to 3G shall do to stop LTE on any sim.
I use LTE on both sims for calls
I use LTE for data on specific sim by making it as preferred sim for data.
Settings -- Networks -- Sim card manager shall help in these settings.
I am on exynos N960F Indian firmware.

You don't understand the actual need ??
So i will tell you
On my work i am located in a big Hall underground. The Provider i need down there is only coming in with -110 dB and less which is one LTE Bar. If i leave Automatic Mode it switches always in 2g Mode because of much higher Signal. So to get a nice experience and have LTE always available there is no other solution. The same kind of problem is on my other LTE Sim when on different Locations during the Day ! So i have no time to always switch sim cards so that sim2 is forcing lte !
And off course no one else knows this and so i benefit of this extremely fast connection where all others are crying because of no 4g connection

Negative. Here the German Rom (dbt csc unbranded)
Has never got LTE Only mode in the menu. This is also for all European Roms. I have had this only when using Root and Custom Roms.
Because i use many banking and streaming apps it's not possible to root this time. Even with Magisk Hide they will not work.
If i could i would have rooted long time ago. This is getting me Crazy really

Sorry but are you reading my Post?
I am talking LTE Only on Sim Slot 2 of any Samsung Phone out today. All the LTE Only Apps or the Phone Info Menu where they lead you is only working on Sim Slot 1.
I am sure there is a dial code like the one it gets you to the Phone1 Information Screen where you can change the bands. But only for Sim 2 (Phone info 2) on Samsung.
So again LTE Only on sim Slot 2 on Samsung Duos Versions is not Possible @ the moment without Root!
If there is any Dev out there you would be the first One to create an app where Phone INFO 2 is possible to change! Or just find the right hidden code for that i know it's there like the Phone Information 1
Hi,
There's an option to force the selected APN to LTE only but I don't know if it will behave like you want to.
What's great is that it's per SIM so you can try any combinaisons.
Deselect "undefined" and select only the "LTE" one (screenshots).
I expect that if it find any other bands getting a better signal than LTE, it will just let the phone loss the signal and not trying to catch the LTE one, but you can try.

Hey thanks for that. I really was in hope this could work but that would have bean to easy. Unfortunately it's not changing bands after deselecting undefined and than choose some network mode it remains to the same band but it looses the mobile data symbol (but still remains in same band).

This code and all Codes are not working on European Samsung Devices with Android 9 .
I Even Rooted my Galaxy Note 9 and all the hidden codes are Not working ! Even Samsung Phone Info App or other Apps are not working with Latest Android 9.
Only way is Root and Custom Rom like Alex Dev Rom where the CSC is Modified. There it was possible to change both Sim to LTE Only ! But as told before with Root
i loose to many services which are detected even with Magisk . So my next Phone will not be Samsung anymore because of that.
