[Q] Can't get LTE connection on Fido - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
Got a new xperia Z1 c6906, setup all things, did input correct APN, chose LTE in the mobile setting. But it couldn't get LTE connection, it always go back down to H+ / 3G, always switch between H+ and 3G. just wondering if the baseband problem? or I have to call Fido and ask them to register my IMEI to their LTE network if the phone couldn't do it itself? thx so much anybody can help.
p.s. previously using Samsung SIII, using LTE sim card and sure in LTE area since I didn't move.

*#*#7378423#*#* to check what LTE bands you have.
BTW, you should post this on Z1 forum.

[Q] No 3g network (MTNL sim)

I just got a Note for my Dad and noticed that it does not get 3g network while in roaming. Even if I manually set network to WCDMA it shows only emergency calls.
The same card if I put in my Nokia X6 it shows 3.5g with full network and the internet speed also is blazing fast.
PS: When I search for network with WCDMA selected it doesn't show my provider. Also I inserted the same sim on my Galaxy S2 and have the same issue no 3g network. My dad is so disappointed with the Note and said Nokia is the best
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!!
Replace SIM, I can't explain you logic, it just based on someone's expirence i have read smwhr.

It is already checked.
Well I have figured out what the problem is. NO matter what sim I use when i set the phone to WCDMA and search for network it does not show bsnl network buts shows all network(Vodafone, IDEA etc). There is strong 3g bsnl network in my area and it shows on other phone. IS samsung unable to catch bsnl 3g network? THe saem problem is with my S2.
Thanks!!

4G LTE not active

I have an unlocked Galaxy S4 active i9295 and I cannot get the 4G or the LTE working since I do not have even the option I only have WCDMA/GSM I travel around the world with this phone and now I am in Ireland on 3 and still I am getting H+ showing and not LTE or 4G. Is there a way to activate 4G or is there any special 4G sims ?
I would check your APN settings, seeing how you are unlocked, the proper APN may not be installed to match your Sim, check with your carrier, to make sure they are 4G and LTE capable and get their settings.

Try ShowServiceMode. It should help to unlock LTE band. It worked for me here in Poland, because local career's LTE was locked by my Russian firmware. But using this program I can only switch between phone calls (GSM/3G) and LTE, they cannot work simultaneously.
Thank you guys. One major thing is that why I can even see the option in the settings? If anyone else has some information please help out.
Thanks

[Q] Change band on Xperia Z C6603

I don't know if it's possible but I read that someone fixed his own phone to make it work in a country with different bands.
My Sony Xperia Z (C6603) is from Europe and there it work on 1900/2100Mhz band for 3G 4G and LTE as well.
I'm in Vancouver now and all the networks work on 1700/2100Mhz for 3G, I don't need more, it's enough to use wa.
I tried to put a Wind sim card in the phone, then even change settings from the *#*#4636#*#* menu but nothing happened.
I can make phone calls but datas don't work.
Just a word:
HELP!!!!!

Cannot connect to LTE network (C6903)

Hello guys,
I am using the C6903 variant of Xperia Z1 (purchased from Saudi Arabia) in India. However, the phone struggles to connect to the LTE network. The 4G network shows up in the list of networks, but on selecting it, it displays "Could not connect to the network now, try again later.".
So I dialed *#*#4636#*#* and selected LTE only. It did work once and the LTE signal indicator did appear, and internet was working for approx 5 seconds, but the signal was very weak and I lost it very soon. Will check if it is a range issue tomorrow.
Using a custom ROM(Stock based) [MX ROM] and a custom kernel (RockZ1L). Is it a baseband issue? Please help
Update: it seems that my providers representative was lying when he said that the area where I live has 4g signal. Went for a little trip and lte seems to be working fine now.

Using S6 edge outside of USA

Hello,
Can I use verison version of this phone in Europe (serbia, slovenia...) normally? Can I turn off 4g/LTE if I need and use only 3g/hspa connections? In my region 4g signal is pure and I have a problem with battery and signal. Does secret menu *#*#4636#*#* works of this version of phone? Thank you.
U can use this phone. Just replace with a local sim card. There is an "unrecognized sim" icon constantly in the notification bar, but other than that everything works the same.

I lived in Spain with the g925v and it does work, but only on 2g/3g, no 4g LTE signal. By that time I was running Android 5.0.2, I believe that with the updates the European LTE band is usable now but I can't assure that.
You can turn off the LTE antenna accessing the menu with this code *#27663368378#
