I have the same issue. Have you found a solution?

Not a ROM limitation. Have a look what frequencies your mobile operator uses for LTE. The K3 note can only use these.
Networks:
2G: GSM 900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz
4G: FDD-LTE 1800/2100/2600MHz

4G stands for HSDPA+
Many Operator in Europe (T-Mobile DE, Vodafone IT) support HSDPA+ with >21Mbit.

True but not exactly, because after December 2010 (ITU changed specs a little), LTE and WiMAX can also be referred to as 4G technology even though it does not meet speed requirements of 4G, that is really confusing since in e.g. USA 4G can mean WiMAX...
With ITU (telecommunication standardising body) it's all about the peak transfer capability if technology can reach certain threshold it gets the 4G tag...
This is a bit illogical since e.g HSDPA+ is not that much technologically different from standard 3G family derivatives as it is from "newer" LTE, or WiMAX ... long live confusion.
hope this helps

Um. Being a dev I still only got that bit :L
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
the BBC reported today there is going to be LTE testing in selected areas
the gsm 4g in states is HSPA+ or whatever is called . And the G2x or O2X has i think QUAD bands wcdma , so i think that is why you see 4g . The H was replaced by 4G. In states 4g is just for marketing. A real 4g i can say is the LTE from Verizon , but WIMAX , and HSPA are no 4g in my opinion .

I'd go with t-mobile. No matter where I've lived it had best service and quality and speeds.
Its 3g is normally better then my 4g speeds and my 4gs speeds are blown outta the water compared to sprint 4g.
But might just be my area
Well I know my area has terrible t mobile service Verizon says I should have good coverage but yet I get terrible service when my friend gets great service and iv been threw every step of tech support did not help also got my phone replaced did not help I was just wondering if Samsung put a bad antenna or radio in there note 3 I want to keep the note 3 am willing to switch carriers but don't want to be stuck with the same problem
What area are u located in my area code is 95621 may they have gotten better since iv had them
So why post this in the sprint forum? ??

FTFY. You're now in the correct forums.

Can I use this phone on AT&T LTE network?

Curious to see if this phone support all US LTE carriers.
Will have one if it supports
It gets nationwide 4G on T-Mobile only. On AT&T it gets 3G and very limited 4G.

According to the different sites that I have searched, NO. I use Cricket and have no network problems at all.
Can we just write the NV items to enable it ?

That is pretty strange as it doesn't support band 17. I guess you are in one of the few markets with ATT band 2.
Yep, i have the phone with att and is on 4G

Does LTE Advanced work on the Z2 Pro? What speeds do you guys get?
Hey I just wanted to ADD to this. I had to switch from T-mobile to AT&T.. well had to because ULTRA was awful and my speeds never got past 2mb. So I got on AT&T on ZUK Z2 and on H+ I get 11mb solid. Now using the same sim in a USA phone not Chinese full 4gLTE it got 9-11. So yeah... works AWESOME..and coming for 2mb and 1mb.. haha I am very happy. Just wanted to say it works flawless.

Jio 4G stopped working after 400mb on honor 4x

Jio worked for initially 3-4 hours and I used around 400mb data but suddenly it stopped working completely and it's been 7 days since I am trying to figure out how to get it rectified. After calling the call centers of both Jio and Huawei and searching for information on google I get nothing. The sim works fine on other devices and I have restarted and reinserted sim trillion times
I am using Android Marshmallow on Honor 4x. Kindly help, this is the last place I am on before changing this phone.

According to my post quoted here, JIO doesn't support Band 3 in Jammu.

Just now noticed that Honor 6 H60-L04 does support only Band 3 LTE.
JIO doesn't have Band 3 LTE license for 4 Telecom circles.
You might have been in any of those Telecom circles I think.
Attached the Telecom circle list.

According to this list people in Bihar, Jharkhand, Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh (West) who are using Honor 6 can't use JIO SIM as Band 3 is not supported there.

But Honor 4X has support to Band 40 too. It should pick up Band 40. But in your case its not happening. There are 2 cases
1. May be your area doesn't have Band 40 support or something like that...
2. Your mobile receiver is unable to get Band 40.
Either one of the above might be happening.
Have you checked tour mobile in the same area where you checked it initially?
According to jio there is a network outage there, which maybe fixed soon
fixed your issue?

Hello,
I have a SM-N960F mobile with version SAOMC_SM-N960F_OXM_XME_OO_0018 XME/INS,INS/XME. Mobile network shows a 4G icon instead of the usual LTE icon. Is it possible to get LTE support without rooting the device?

Did you ever come to a resolution? I am considering picking up a SM-N960F/DS Samsung Galaxy Note 9, installing LineageOS 17.1 with MicroG and use with T-Mobile in the US. Is T-Mobile US your carrier? Thanks for your time.
I don't see the issue as 4G is LTE. Having the Icon changed won't make any difference in performance speed

4G is LTE! So rooting will make no difference! Try this app as it allows you to lock network bands! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ray.samsungbandselection&hl=en_US might increase performance!
i spoke to soon 4G is not LTE LOL"While 4G LTE is a major improvement over 3G speeds, it is technically not 4G. However, most cellular carriers now advertise their networks as 4G LTE, because it sounds the same as 4G (or even better). In some cases, your phone may even display 4G LTE-A (Long Term Evolution Advanced), which is even closer to proper 4G."
