Hello
looking for a bit of help. i have a vodafone nexus 6 with a Three Sim in it (im in the UK) everything is working fine updated to 5.1 ok etc
in the City centre i have been getting lovely 4G speeds and my symbol has been showing signal bar with 4G above it. but today i see it says LTE and keeps flicking between the 2 LTE and 4G
what is the difference between the 2? i thought it was both the same thing?

Does anyone know how to force the note 4 to use HSPA+ instead of 4G?
The reason why i ask is because in areas where i cannot get 4GLTE the note 4 goes into 4G and its basically unusable (~1mbps maybe, most of the time i cannot even perform a speed test) eventhough the 4G is with 5 bars. In the same exact area HSPA+ gets very good speeds of 6mbp+
To test this, i forced 4G on my note 4 at my house and got a 1mbps speed test. Before upgrading to the note 4 from t-mobile i had an old note 2 from verizon running H+ getting 6mbps+ at my home.
Update: i really think the note 4 or the modem is causing the issue. Testing again my my house. When i first force the 4G connection the speed test are horrible. (< 1 mbps). After some time it seems idling in 4G it seems i got pushed into H+ reframed?(but still 4g icon) and getting consistance 6mbps.
I also noticed that the note 4 drops LTE to 4G at 2 bars or so when LTE speeds is definitely present and running at 20mbps
Hspa+ shows as 4g. If you go to other network settings where the apn is you can select lte,wcdma, options. In remote areas my 4g speed is better than my lte . The lingo is kinda weird so every carrier has different definitions of 4g. Hspa+ is technically 3.5g lol.
The app Advanced Signal Status let's you choose your network type.
Install it from play store and lock it to what you want. Try phone calls and SMS for the modes you try because some modes will be data only.
I noticed this today at home. I forced it to WCDMA mode only, it took like 10 mins for it to eventually show "4G" at my home office. The signal and download speed were terrible when forced into WCDMA hspa mode+ (4G) . In the same room and home my Note 3 would get a very good signal this time last year when I used the Note 3.
Perhaps T mobile has done something to the cell site here? Or The Note 4 isnt working as it should?
Ive had the same issue. So i work in one city and live in another. So when i get to work my data is slooooow. I force it to 4g and after a while back to lte. Speeds are fine. Same thing happens when i get home. Tmo told me to just restart my phone but that doesnt always work
Same situation with me. LTE tower doesn't reach my room but I got 10mbps in my living room....and my room I get less than 1mbps and goes to lte to 4g often with very slow speeds. I even have a LTE booster which doesn't really help much with speed. Without the lte booster I get almost 0 signal in my room
I used to have same problem during lte upgrade in my area. On lte around 8+ up and down while on 4g speds were 15-20 down and less than 2 up. Ping times were longer on 4g. After upgrade I no longer need to switch between lte and 4g

But is T Mobile removing their 4G HSPA wcdma towers? I used to get a very good db signal in my office, now -115db at best for 4G in same location but band 4 700Mhz is now present? Any relationship between these ...
See the below screen shot. On that menu you can pick the non LTE function and force H+. You can also switch back to LTE.

Thanks I had already figured out how to.force a specific data connection , hence why that thread I posted was asking what the default option is, since I didn't write it down.
But back on subject, 4G next to non existent now at home after 700mhz band 12 availability.

What is UMTS? I never get Hspa+
I've found that my data is ridiculously slow (I'm talking edge speeds) when I turn WiFi off, even when I am in an area that gets a strong LTE signal. I feel like my device does not automatically connect to the best available tower; rather, it seems to try to latch on to whatever tower it was connected to before I connected to WiFi. Toggling "mobile data" off then on again seems to reconnect my device to the closer/better tower and the speed improves drastically. (It's possible that toggling airplane mode or network modes will do the same thing). When you are in an area that has poor LTE, you might consider keeping it off. Change the selection from “LTE/WCDMA/GSM” to just “WCDMA/GSM” and you'll be on the slower HSPA+ network (though, I believe it still shows the 4G icon). You can always change it back when you are in a better area.
4G is back up and running in my home location. Must have been temp disabled when they rolled out 700mhz band 12 LTE in my area.

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.

What rom did you update to? If you updated to a united States t mobile rom it could give you trouble. I am only guessing but you may do best to install twiztd or another custom rom from here. Maybe even one of the n7 ports.
I have Mi5 32gb Indian variant used by my mother on Airtel 4G network in both sim slots
Off late, its not getting network most of the time unless I go to *#*#4636#*#* Menu and select LTE/CDMA/UTMS(PRL) wherein it gets 4G for sometime and then switches back to EDGE network and menu shows LTE/TD-SCDMA after reboot/ after idle for a while
Any ideas? Im trying to avoid hard reset but this phone worked fine for a year in the same setup so it cant be hardware issue I guess
Hello,
I have 4g issue too, always very good 4g signal display but trafic lte shutdown. Searching on xda and miui forums since few weeks but no answer found
same here
Hello everyone,
I just bought a Oneplus 3T and it's a really good phone, but i'm facing an issue : 4G only appears a few time (with almost full bars) but it's just coming back to H+ every time, i mean every time.
Usually i have 4G in that place, even with my old ****y Samsung Xcover 3 and its the same with another phone operator sim card.
What do you recommend for me ?
Thank you very much
Details :
French version
Up-to-date (Android 8.0.0)
Phone operator : Sosh (tried B&YOU)
Fix
*#*#4636#*#* use the diagnostic under phone information and move it to 4g/lte only
I've seen this solution but it's not a real one, no ?
If I put LTE Only, i will not have 3G/H/H+ and stuff if there is no 4G around me, right ?
Perhaps your ISP radio tower is far away, doesnt mean its phones fault
I had some issues with sim. I've to get new sim and 4g service reactivated
Well, as i said before, i was able to have 4G even with my old Xcover3 in that place, so it's not the network provider's fault.
4G is working on my Oneplus 3T, it's just that it's most of the time, like MOST, on H+ and not 4G even if I had 4G in thèses places before...
It looks like he phone auto balance between 4G & 3G as soon as 4G is a little bit weak (even weak, it's still beter than 3G anyway...) and I noticed that sometimes the data are just turned down (nothing DL, charge, but H+ still on status bar).
Im on Oreo stock OOS, do you know if there is any issues on this new version ?
