If your provider enables lte for you and your device supports it, you're ready to go.

Settings > Wireless & networks > More > Mobile Networks > Network Mode
Mines on 3 UK, but it's unbranded and unlocked.
3 have said that they will send out an ota update to enable 4G on their handsets.
There are a few cities already enabled, so if you can get somewhere that's already on, you might be able to test your handset.

Make sure you have an LTE simcard too!

How can I turn off 3G and use just 2G? SOLVED

Hey everyone,
I've had my Galaxy a few days now and I noticed there's no obvious option to turn off 3G like there was on my old Topaz.
Does anyone know if it's possible to turn off 3G (not data connection, I still want to use 2G) to save battery life.

Go to settings > wireless and networks > mobile networks > use only 2g. The option is there.

Erm, that option isn't there, all it says in mobile networks is:
Data Roaming
Access Point Names
Network Mode (this is only GSM/WCDMA switching)
Network Operator
I bought my phone as handset only so there's no branding and is rooted (option wasn't there before rooting either).
Can anyone help? Is there an app that can help?

My options changed when I upgraded to the newest firmware available in Australia. GSM is 2G and WSDM is 3G.

I downloaded an app/widget from the market called DCSwitch ... it allowed me to disable/enable my HSDPA radio with the touch of single button on my homescreen.

Not getting 3G :(

Hello,
I live in a country where 3G is in 2100 Mhz band. I bought the phone unlocked but it is still showing only E even after enter the operator's 3G APN.
I am not able to use the *#*#4636#*#* code OR able to choose the network. It is greyed out.
What should I do?!
Thanks.
That 4636 menu is disabled on the Atrix HD, download the app Phone Info from the market. It will allow you to access the menu and change the network settings.

Its disable on the AT&T Atrix Hd just like on my Atrix 2 AT&T before. But for the Bell Atrix hd we can access the menu and we can change the network settings. Look for the app NETWORK from playstore but im not sure if you can change the network settings.

I'm not sure if this will work with you, but I have an unlocked Bell Atrix HD on AT&T and I had similar problems at first. I was not getting any LTE even though there is LTE in my area.
I went to the AT&T store to tell them, this is what happened: When I first went there to get a micro SIM card (I had a regular SIM), they activated a new card, and put my AHD's IMEI number on my account. This allowed my phone to text, make phone calls, and connect to HSPA+, but no LTE. Well, since this phone is an unlocked version from another carrier, the IMEI number is not recognized by AT&T. So, the system didn't know that I had an LTE phone. So what they had to do was get a real IMEI number from an AHD that they had in the store, change the last number, and apply it to my account. This then activated the 4G LTE data plan for my phone.
I would try this.

Have you checked the APN settings. Mine was unlocked when I got it and it just worked. When I downgraded though it wouldn't connect I went in and checked the APN settings and it had lost Tmobile's APN settings. I just re added them and reset and it worked. Hope this help

T-Mobile APN updated automatically. i said that in my original post. i believe my AHD is on ICS 4.0.4 is there an update above this that may be causing the issue? like i said, it is unlocked with ATT Sim Lock code but will not receive service except for Emergency Calls only. when the T-Mobile sim is inserted the network bars disappear but the APN updates
It looks like the phone is successfully unlocked.
You can double check the APN settings against the ones recommended by T-Mobile or even create a custom APN with these settings.
Is the SIM card activated? Does it get signal on another phone? If you use the Phone Info app or any other app that lets you in the hidden testing menu, can you check if you get signal if you change the preferred network type to GSM only or to WCDMA only? WARNING: Do not change the radio band.
FYI I'm on T-Mobile with ICS 4.0.4 and I've got signal in multiple places in the US and roaming overseas.

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.

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:

[Q] Change WIFI access points

Hi,
I have an unlocked AT&T Moto X and switched to T-Mobile. Everything works fine but the phone still tries to connect to the AT&T WIFI hotspots. Where can I change this to the T-Mobile hotspots?
Stephan
In Wi-Fi settings tap on the network that's trying to connect and there should be an option to forget

I don't think you can find this in the wi-fi settings. It must be stored somewhere deeper in the system.
Stephan
Ok so then you meant the cellular network... Not Wi-Fi... Go to Settings -> More -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> delete AT&T's APN settings and add T-Mobile's APN settings

No I mean the wi-fi network. AT&T installs some kind of bloatware that automatically connects to their wifi Hotspot when they are in reach.
I believe the only way to remove bloatware is to root your device and manually uninstall whatever system app might be doing that... Or just install a custom ROM that works for multiple networks
