Hi experts
I have a new LG G Flex LG-D958 in Brazil and basically I have 4G working in my home with full signal, but if I move to a place where there is no 4G, (only Edge) the band will never go back to 4G automatically, even when I move back to a place where the 4G signal is full. Is like my phone goes down in the bandwidth but never goes up again.
I have to manually go to config the Network Mode and change from Automatic to 3G, and then Automatic once again to make it works back in 4G.
Is there a correction for it? Sounds like a issue with the Baseband. Is there a software or something I can install to make the phone try to move from EDGE to 3G/4G automatically?
Thanks experts.

I've found that this phone's ability to transfer from 3G to 4G data is absurdly slow, if not completely useless. It also seems that it will never switch if there is data transfer in progress. The only reliable way to make it work is to airplane for about 10 seconds, then turn it back on. If there is 4G coverage, it will come back on immediately into 4G.
Example of a common daily routine... When I leave work and walk outside, there is full strength 4G. But the phone will be sitting on 3G from when I was inside. It will not switch to 4G unless I airplane it first to cut it off and back on. The 3G data here is literally like a dialup 14.4 modem. So it will just sit there trying to sync or do whatever its doing until the cows come home. It will never change to the readily available 15mbs 4G data.
It is so bad, I had to make a tasker function to airplane, wait 12 seconds, and turn it back on. I made it a widget called "Reset 3G/4G".
Any way to fix this crap?
Sprint requires a Sprint forum see sticky top of the page .
Unless you have the I9300 as per this forum .

Hi all,
I have bought a Htc One M7 handset recently and I have noticed time to time there are No Signals (Limited Service) on it. When I switch off/ switch on or if I turn on the Airplane mode and turn off again, the signals will restore. This is happening around 2 times per day and really annoying. Need to know whether this is a known issue for the model.. I still didn't change the SIM and check. Please help!!!!!
Thanks alot!

I have the same thing
To add some detail for diagnostics see below:
- I travel into London every day and sometimes when signal drops in the tunnels it will never pick back up again after leaving them whereas my old One X did not have this on the same journeys.
- It even dropped out mid call and came up with the sim card icon at the notification bar as if no card inserted (but no selectable notification) first time its happened to this extent.
- Do you have a 4G SIM/connection or are you on 3G like myself? I'm thinking perhaps its something to do with trying to pick up 4G instead and completely disregarding the 3G connection that is available.
- I have also noticed that ever since getting the handset its never had as good signal as my One X which was pretty much always full signal in my normal areas (home, work etc) This may just be the way the handset gauges the signal not the signal itself but something to note anyway.
I'm having the same issue here in the US. It's prolly my only complaint with my phone.

I'm also having this issue but more sever with an all-day no signal. After reboot, I gain signal and I can't make and receive calls.
Try to turn 4G off.

How does one do that? Having the same problem, both wifi AND mobile network drop off. Wifi comes back on its own after a few seconds, the mobile data connection often comes back (obviously if not on wifi away from home), but the mobile network stays as no signal and doesn't come back, unless I reboot or cycle aeroplane mode. I know there's some problems with touching antenna, but this is happening a lot in the car, when the phone is powered and sitting in a cradle.

To turn off 4G you go to Settings -> Mobile data -> Network mode and then select "3G / 2G"
don't know if it'll help though, but trying is worthwhile

Thanks. The problems seems to have gone with that change. Perhaps it is some system thing kicking me off the network because I don't have 4G on my contract and my phone was trying to get it.
Now, if you can just tell me why my lovely 3-4 bar indoors signal on EE has dropped to 0-1 outdoors (as they deny there is a problem)

Are you sure it's not just cosmetic? Try going into Settings->About->Network and see if the signal (dBm) is dropping.

I have it constantly on att - I have to turn on airplane mode and turn it back off to get my network back, I have tried different roms and updates and still the issue is across all roms.
Maybe try this: in your dialer type *#*#4636#*#*. Once the menu is opened, select Phone information, then scroll down to Set preffered network type and choose one of the options (im from Serbia, europe, and I usualy go with GSM auto (PRL)).
Issue with 3g only
Whenever I keep it on 3G, it drops signals for 2 to 7 seconds at random intervals. People often complain that when they call, they get a message that my phone is switched off.. I am probably gonna try another ROM and SIM to see if that helps before dumping this phone forever.
how to solve limited service or loosing service on htc one m7
Hello
it seems to be a hardware fault where the radio is not staying on higher band
it seems to be having issues on 2100 and all umts and hspda or lte networks
however switching back to 2 g can resolve this issue and phone ( hope so) will never lose signals or drop then again
i tried this and for me this works fine so far over 12 hours now no issue
give it a try and see this should work
setting>data>network>2g only
by this you wont have option to use fast internet though but at least you can phone can be used for voice calls messaging etc and also wifi too
I was on stock lolli pop and tried to flash cm12.1 but does not help sort the limited service issue
enjoy and leave your feedback
Edit:
some people cant find 2g in settins>mobile network>preferred network type> lte or 3g only, the solution is go to *#*#4636#*#* phone info>set preferred network type>gsm only( this will put your device into 2g mode)
hope this work
like my phone can just sit on 3G, in the same place,while not moving
but if i reboot my phone, it'll pop on to LTE (if its available in that area)
but i reboot it in known LTE areas (when showing 3G)
anyway to force LTE, without rebooting the phone?
or is there some time schedule where it checks to see if LTE is available that I can change?
Yes which model u have? Its in the secret menu

I don't have the Sprint version so I don't know if this works but you can try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSrtUw8D9_w as this method worked for the very similar LG G2 for Sprint.
I feel for you buddy because this phone is blazing fast on LTE

Hahaha you're absolutely right. I knew just by reading the thread. Sprint is the worst! My HTC One on Sprint was amazing but I couldn't ever hold on to an LTE connection for more then 30 seconds. Unlimited data is useless if your only on their horribly slow 3g
Sprint does suck, if i didnt have 4 other people on my account that would have to get new phones/account etc, I would have been switched.
but that video i think was to turn on LTE, my LTE is on, but for some reason wouldnt search/connect to LTE when it was available all the time
however i went into my mobile connection settings, and changed it from "LTE/CDMA" to Global
now it seems to switch to LTE when its in an LTE area. LTE icon comes up without me having to reboot, i'll keep a watch on it for a few days to see if indeed that was the solution
by the way, anybody now what the "global" option is? compared to LTE/CDMA

I'm pretty sure the global setting is to allow it to connect to GSM carriers in the event that the device is unlocked and the APN is changed accordingly.
I have the same problem in brazil, looks like a problem with the Phone. I had a Samsung S4 that worked with full signal in 4G in my home, now that I moved to LG G Flex it also works full signal 4G in home, but when I move to some place where is Edge then go Back to home, it never moves back to LTE automatically. I need to restart or change the NetworkMode manually to make it back working in 4G.
I think the phone has a problem to automatic search and change the Network mode.
anyone know how to enable only lte yet? i've tried all different kinds of secret menu codes and cant figure it out.
Answer
How to access the hidden service menu on LG G Flex:
For AT&T: Go to dialer and enter 3845#*950#
For T-Mobile: Go to dialer and enter 3845#*959#
For Sprint: Go to dialer and enter 3845#*995#
Once you're in the hidden menu, go to LTE-Only > Modem Settings > RAT Selection > LTE only
Enjoy!

Hey, im not sure what i should have called this thread but anyway, when i lose LTE on my phone it used to switch to H+, now it switches to 3G. Basically im wondering what i need to switch in the default file to display H+ instead of 3G
i hope this makes some sense
Well 3g and H+ are different. You can check to make sure in data settings that you have GSM/WCDMA/LTE AUTO set in there.

I basically loose the H (HSPA) service with my operator by taking the 4G package, I get 4G LTE, and in bad coverage area's, which is almost everywhere for Vodafone UK except major cities, I get a G or an E unless I can connect to a wifi.
I noticed if I go to the mobile networking settings and have it it on lte/3g if I leave a 4g area, 3g works ok. If I put the toggle specifically on 3g it shows I have 3g, but anytime I tried to search google or access a data connection the signal goes away and gives me the signal with an exclamation point. I tried finding info on this, but didn't see anything when I searched. Anyone else have this issue? I am on Sprint with the 64gb white device. Thanks
I leave mine on 3g due to the lame multiple text issue. It has no problem staying on 3g. Perhaps try updating your PRL/profile and see if that helps.
I don't have 3g either if I set it to 3g only. I don't leave lte service too often to test whether 3g works when it switches on its own. I may have to make a trip to the mountains to test it. I do know that my old Note 2 would loose lte after flashing tons over and over and I would have to flash back to 100% stock the factory reset from the settings app to fix it. I may try this with my Nexus, about time for a wipe anyway.
Factory reset does not fix it. Just noticed that I don't even get 3g when it is set on LTE. I'm gonna go talk to my cellular provider about it.
I don't know why it wouldn't work. You did update profile and PRL also right? Here's some shots of mine and it's working fine.
I have a bad Sim.....I also don't have a phone number as well..... I swiped with an old card I had and my number appeared, I guess I'll be visiting the store tomorrow to get a new one. Maybe it'll fix my 3g. Its also not wanting to let me pick 3g as an option now, just stays on LTE.
KB112 - Are you on sprint also? I updated prl/profile and no luck still. 3g still works if I am on lte and go into a 3g zone, but if I toggle it to 3g only I get no data. Wondering if its a sprint thing or a lollipop bug on Sprint, or a bad sim, missing feature activation.
Bluemgt06 - did a new sim fix it for you?
Sorry, didn't see this earlier. But yes, I am on Sprint. My 3G would work fine if I set to 3G only. Not sure why yours has issues with this?
Oddly I tried it today and it started working. I think it could have been some kind of issue with the tower/upgrades or a bug that a reset may fix on occasion perhaps.
