We made the switch to T mobile yesterday from ATT. Currently using one N900T and one N900A. The N900A seems to lose the 4G / LTE icon in the home sometimes, yet the application Network Signal Info shows it connected to the same LTE tower as my N900T. The N900A gets DNS error message when the 4G/LTE icon is not present, yet Signal Info shows it connected to LTE. Anyone know what is going on please? Thanks.
I'm using it on TMobile but I always have 4G LTE so far. Been using it on TMobile for a week now. Do you have the right apn settings?

I will check when wife comes home, I only received my SP unlock code from cellunlocker.net this morning, so didnt get a chance to review APN settings.
All I did was enter unlock code then stick the sim card inside of the phone, compared it to my n900T and noticed her 4G icon not appearing sometimes.

I did the same exact thing and I unlocked mines from same website. It's not working for you because you need to fix your apn settings. That's why it didn't work for me at first also.

Will check thanks, I didn't have to change the APN on my N900T which was until yesterday on ATT network. It seemed to automatically change via the sim card swap.
Oh ok this is website link to the apn http://cellphoneforums.net/samsung-...vity-apn-data-roaming-more.html#axzz2kI4NjYRx

I am thinking the N900A does not have the menu to change :
From any of the home screens, press the "Menu" button
Go to "Settings"
Tap the "Connections" tab
Tap "More networks" > "Mobile networks" > "Network mode"
Select one of the following options:
LTE / WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)
WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)
WCDMA only
GSM only
You can't edit the 900A APN, but you can add an APN, then delete the old one.

I have found that if you put the T mobile SIM in, boot the phone up, let it get a data connection, then restart the phone again, it usually will pull it's correct APN settings from the carrier just fine.
i unlocked mine at cellunlocker.net and typed in the code and the tmo APN was set automatically and i have LTE, with no problems.

I reviewed my wife's N900A with T mobile sim card in it, the APN was actually set to T Mobile but some fields were different to my N900T on T Mobile. I do not remember which lines to be honest, I just copied mine on to hers. I think the field APN type on hers was just set to "default" where as mine is set to "default,mms,supl" .
I also believe her APN was not "fast.t-mobile.com" .
Her N900A seems to be picking up good LTE now, just originally when I first powered it up after unlocking the LTE icon would come and go in the home. I was thinking perhaps the N900A stock does not have all the radios available?
I have tried to connect to 3 lte but it says it cannot iam on EXistenZ v5.0.0 rooted havnt recieved any carrier updates would returning to stock 4.3 fix this.
It says could not connect to the selected network. Please make sure that the sim card is inserted or the selected network is available

I am assuming you are referring to Hutchinson 3 UK (Three).
We don't currently have an LTE network, it is rumored to be live around the middle of 2015.
Not strictly true. 3 have started rolling out 4g to a few cities in the UK.
Reading and Leeds being two off the top of my head.
There's loads of info on their website about it.

Yes and I have checked the network coverage checker on the website and it says its available in the area and should be if my C6603 can find it in mobile networks apparently theres ment to be an update to update the carrier or something like iPhone does also I dont have the 4G option were nfc is I think I might try flashing stock 4.3 ftf and then try I thing my brother has the same problem and hes on eXistenZ for xperia Sp though so I could just be the rom

Actually, it might be that your handset needs to be enabled by Three to actually connect. Might be worth giving Three a ring.
Your handset SHOULD be able to see 4g networks. Mine does, and I'm running the exact same rom.
Settings > Wireless & Networks > More > Mobile Networks > Network Operators. Your handset should then search for a while, and bring up a list of all the networks it can see, like this:

It does so ill try contacting 3
Ok my bad, my info was off. I'm glad they finally have begun the roll out. Bring it to Bath
Has anyone else experience complete signal lost in about every 15-20 min? Ive attempted a factory reset also a ##UPDATE# .
Goto settings->more...->mobile networks
Change it from Global to LTE/CDMA (if in Sprint variant) and reboot
I had the same issue as it will disconnect to search for a global GSM network to connect to every few mins and then reconnect to back to its home network when in global mode.

I live in LA and I get fast Spark speeds @ 30.00 Mbps on average. But what I notice is when I drive in my car or go to neighboring cities it constantly drops from LTE to 3G and the internet would be intermittent until I become stationary and would go back to LTE.
I will try lostsoul77 advice and report back to you tonight.
But yes, every 10-15 minutes it switches between 3G and LTE,
I attempted to change the settings to no avail. I've come to the conclusion that it may be a defective device and will be swapping out for a new one.

Did you reboot after you changed the settings. Try changing the setting, then update profile and prl and reboot
Sent from my LG-LS995 using xda app-developers app
I actually tried that as well! By the way I did end up exchanging for another unit. And unfortunately im still having this issue! Ive attempted update profile, update prl, ##update# , factory resets, settings mobile networks to LTE/CDMA instead of Global, and even manual programming using the MSL code. Maybe its something with the Sprint variant G Flex? Ive contacted LG and they want me to send my unit in for diagnose and repair.
I've had the same issues, here's what I've discovered.. Alot of us don't have band 26 and 41 up yet. And it's sprint wide.. Looks like the next firmware update will have the problem solved.

Hi Everyone,
My brother has serious issues with his G4. He bought the phone two month ago from T Mobile store. and everything was working fine (the phone is unlocked). However, he traveled to Poland on Sunday and since he put Orange sim the phone went crazy. First of all, the battery is draining like hell because "cell standby" is on high percentages (was 72% on last screenshot he sent me). Secondly, he is getting text messages in Polish every 2-3 minutes saying that "the service is no longer available, thank you for your message" (that's the translation to English). besides that, the mobile data keeps turning off bu itself and the charging takes a long time than usual.
I went to T-Mobile and according to them, because it's a T mobile phone, it keeps searching for T mobile networks, that why it's draining the battery. They told me that a reset might help. It doesn't sound reasonable to me that a new phone that cost more than 600$ will have this issues. I have a feeling that all the T mobile crap apps that came with the phone are causing these problems. is there a way to disable some of them without a root?
Any help will be welcomed!
My first guess would be a bad SIM card according to the description you provided. Has he checked to see if T-Mobile variant cell frquencies match with Poland's Orange's? Perhaps it is looking for the LTE bands that doesn't exist on Poland. Or that SIM card is keep telling T-Mobile phone to look for the LTE band that isn't compatible with the device.
He could try to set to 4G only or Some other settings.
If all fails I would try to take back the SIM card and replace with the new one.

Also checking APN settings could help and making sure the right once are selected under mobile networks.

Hello,
My note 8 cannot connect to mobile data. Whenever I activate it, nothing happens I don't get any mobile data signal what so ever. I also checked the APN's configuration with my Mobile carrier and they were unable to solve it.
It should be noted that my note 8 has a stock Canadian firmware and I am using in Morocco with a Moroccan sim card

did you check with your morocco sim does include data from your plan? Also which carrier are you using in Moroccan? it could be either your plan doesn't include data plan or the carrier doesn't have the UMT/LTE band for your note 8

Yes, I still have around 1gig of data available and My plan includes data.
My service provider is INWI and they do have LTE band since The same sim card worked on my previous J5 2016 normally.
I forgot to mention that, After activating mobile data and roaming, I checked the sim status in the setting where I found that Mobile network state is DISCONNECTED and Roaming is not running.

Can you test if you can make call or text? if so, i will suggest double check the apn. I checked your carrier in Morocco , you should be able to get HSPA data connection in Canadian Version Note 8(N950W) unless you select (LTE ONLY).

I can confirm that I can make phone calls and send texts without a problem.
I checked all options and none worked .
As for the apn, the configuration message was sent to me by my service provider itself.
I performed a factory reset that didn't help too.
Since you can make the call, I don't think it is something wrong with the phone. I checked there's only 1 hspa band and none for lte available for note 8 from your carrier. I guess either double check with the carrier for the apn or maybe the phone just can't pick the b1 hspa signal from your location.

I won't mind HSPA since there's not much difference between LTE and HSPA in Morocco. I doubled checked with my carrier today and they told me that I have to wait for 48H for them to look into the issue.
The weird thing is when I used an app called LTE Discovery I found that I do have a signal for LTE band 3 yet I have no internet.
It is mostly the service provider's fault, I think.

They might be similar to AT &T where they need to recognize the device IMEI number before allowing full data access onto their Network.

I checked with my service provider. Unfortunately, they don't need to recognize the IMEI number.
They tried to shift the blame to my phone saying that I might have a faulty device. It doesn't make any sense.

First thing I'd do is research and see if it's true what your service provider told you. It might not be. Second use another sim from another network in your device. Third borrow someone else's IMWI sim and use it in the note 8. Also check APN again.
Did the phone receive 4G or LTE prior to coming to Morocco with the same device?
I also don't fully understand on your earlier post about the phone status not being roaming. It shouldn't be roaming status if using a local sim card.

I still haven't tried another INWI nor another Moroccan sim card.
I have no idea whether or not it received 4G Before coming to Morocco since I won the phone from a Dbrand's giveaway. I think it's brand new.
Shouldn't roaming be active when you activate it in menu ?
I turned on mobile data roaming and nothing happens. Check the picture for details.
I turned off my Data Roaming and the Mobile network state remained the same - connected. I'd think " Mobile network state " has anything to do with roaming being on or off unless one is roaming out of their Network onto another network.

I turn them on and off yet their status remain disconnected. I understand why.
I really don't understand how to get mobile data working on my phone.
Hopefully someone else will try and assist.
In the meantime
On the phone dialer enter *#0011# and *#2263#
Also, the mobile network state will be disconnected if you are connected to WiFi.
Should get the following screen.
Also make sure that the correct APN is entered and active / selected.
Then try and go to the connections menu and toggle lte/3g/2g... to 2 or 3 g and back to to 4g to see what happens.
Also make sure Mobile Data is turned ON.
Go-to settings then search for Mobile Data.

It turned out that my service provider does not support the bands on my note or something.
I tried an other provider's sim and that worked like charm.

That's weird as when I checked Frequency check website with device sm-n950W and your service provider INWI , it lists it as fully compatible. The other Moroccan networks were not though.
This would be the second instant whereby Frequency check has got it wrong. First being Samsung device I used to own.

I checked the frequency myself and I came to the same conclusion.
I was only told today by an INWI agent that devices from Canada and USA always face the same issue.
I triend orange which didn't work too. Gladly, IAM worked as it is the largest and oldest network in Morocco.
From now on, I won't believe what websites say till I see for myself.
