[Q] Stuck on Edge after 4.4.2 update - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello I just received a brand new S4 active (GT-I9295) after my old one had some watter resistant issues
In the old one I had flashed the 4.4.2 from netherlands (I'm in Portugal) without any issues. So 3G (HSPA+) and 4G working perfectly in Portugal at optimus (P OPTIMUS uses the GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / UMTS 2100 frequency bands for its network.) Then it took a swim and I've ended with a new phone.
Now this one came with 4.2.2 TPH version. The guys at samsung had to change it's imei, and when it came to me not even boot recovery was working (error no command). Now I've flashed once again the 4.4.2 from Netherlands and Germany I9295XXUCNE5 base band with Kernel 3.4.0-1429916 and compilation KOT49H.I9295XXUCNE5.
The problem is. With this new phone and with the same simcard I've previously used and its working in 3g and 4g in other phones I'm stuck at EDGE with (LTE/WCDMA/GSM auto option) and if I select WCDMA only I get no network at all.
Also besides this there are a few wi-fi networks where I'm no longer able to connect (getting ip address forever) but the pressing issue is really 3g /4g connectivity.
Will I have to wait to a TPH (portuguese) rom? With the other phone all of this was pretty straight forward. The reason why I need 4.4.2 in this phone is my gear. But I don't want to give up 3g/4g and since this was working with the same settings there should be some workaround.
Thank you for your help

[Q] Unbranded unlocked Milestone cannot connect to data service on AT&T or T-Mobile

[Q] Unbranded unlocked Milestone cannot connect to data service on AT&T or T-Mobile
I bought a M1 off Amazon about 5 months ago. I don't have a data plan in my home country as my SIM is company provided without data. I get by with wifi most of the time. Over Christmas while in Miami, I tried my nephew's T-Mobile SIM from his HTC and I tried an AT&T SIM with $5 data - and neither would connect to EDGE or 3G. The phone could still make calls though. Anyone have any idea why that would be? I have no clue as to what region the phone would belong to -so I do not know what GSM frequencies it operates on. Motorola's website specs says that the GSM version operates on 850/900/1800/1900 MHz - and supposedly AT&T 3G operates on 850 7 1900 MHz -so I can't figure it out. Could it be something software/firmware related?
It's a APN issue if you can make calls but cannot connect to mobile data. Check your provider's APN configuration. (Just google it.)
yeah. check your apn. for stock rom and some other mods apns cant be configured automaticly

[Q] Only EDGE - Help please

Hi,
I am having the following situation with my mobile data.
Bought an HTC One in Germany, everything works well, took it to Peru (Claro Network) where I currently live, also everything worked fine.
Rooted the device and installed Android Revolution 12.1. - everything worked good.
Installed Google Edition Rom - not sure if EDGE or 3G / 4G worked. Installed again Android Revolution (this time 12.2) and since then I only get EDGE coverage (yes, i am in an area with 3G and 4G coverage - my kids phones work without issue). I believe that the Android Revolution does not touch the radio so I guess the Google Edition is/was the initiatior of the problem.
Thought that it might be the Radio, and flashed the up to date T-Mobile Germany radios (as they worked in the beginning), but no change.
What to do? Is there some other component which might effect the EDGE / 3G & 4G reception? Anyone has a Claro Peru radio to make a final check?
Attaching screenshoot of Firmware etc.
Thanks alot,
TK
Go to settings -> Mobile Data
There is a "Network Mode" section make sure it is on GSM WCDMA LTE auto
If that doesnt work, make sure you are on the correct "access point" I, for whatever reason, have the GSM access point and a "WAP" one for my company. One time it auto-selected WAP and I was having issues with internet.
Hi,
yes all activated. Just did some more research ... and maybe someone can help.
I am having a M7_UL version but it was bought in Europe, and does not support the 850 3G band which I need overhere in Peru. I am stuck on the 1.54 Bootloader. How can I get this to work. A Canadian Radio e.g. would do as it support the 850 Band.
Thanks alot for a hint,
T

[Q] Will a unlocked Note 3 900a work on UK 3G networks

Hi there, I live in the UK and after checking the specifications of the phone I sore that it does have the 2100mhz band used in the UK for 3G singals. Moreover, 02 insisted the phone would work fine on there 3G network, however, after receiving the phone I only seem able to connect to the edge network.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance

LTE Frequency

Hello guys,
I'm trying to figure out the problem with LTE frequencies on my phone. I have a model PN07120 (AT&T) - m7_ul. I have converted original ROM to GPE stock (no root) from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/development/rom-google-play-edition-lollipop-v1-00-t2963927. I also used the newest firmware related to this ROM. It works perfect .. except one thing ... I'm not able to use LTE. My hometown operator uses frequencies in range of 800/900/1800/2100MHz which are supported (at least two of them).
I already checked, that my sim is LTE capable (in other phones), phone is set up to LTE only mode but without success to connect to LTE, only GSM signal. I read some article, that AT&T added some new frequency and they only released new radio firmware and that was all. Is there any possibility to flash radio firmware to allow those frequency ranges?
Thanks
No idea?
I have the same problem
I bought mine from ebay and it is a PN07120 and no LTE
Everything else working fine. Phone shows 3G or H

can't receive calls on mi5 while using 4g and phone screen locked (global rom)

i flashed my phone with the global rom and now when i lock the screen while using LTE Network i can't recieve phone calls
only text message arrives on locked screen
when the screen is not locked or when the phone plugged in charger every thing works fine
P.S. on 3g network i don't have this problem​
I bought new mi5 and faced similar problem and ordered a replacement.
But the same problem persists in the new handset.
So after going through a lot of search
I conculded:
The phone network does not support voice over LTE yet in some networks.
Currently it is supported in europe and japan and some networks of states.
So no need to panic xiaomi is getting a patch to update to fix this bug from their side.
Till time enjoy callin/ internet via 3g network
By pressing *#*#4636#*#*
Select network to wcdma by which u wont have any problem of incoming calls and no net issues!
If u dnt bother incoming calls ..u knw how to get 4g?
Well you're doing better than me my phones never displayed 4g in areas I used to have it with my lg g5 any ideas using the *#*#4636#*#* apparently lte is enabled I'm on Vodafone UK also allegedly supported
Vodaphone and o2 will not work on 4G with this phone as it only uses band 20/800Mhz which is not activated.
4G Network:
1800MHZ
1900MHZ
2100MHZ
2300MHZ
2600MHZ
There is a list of bands and UK networks here
