Hi guys
I bought Samsung ATIV SE unlocked from ebay. Everything seems to be working fine, i updated to official 8.1.1 update but i am getting only edge connection (2g). Internet speeds are way too worse. Cant get 3g data working.. Tried adding APN manually but seems like verizon has blocked it.
I tried using field test app or diagnosis app to force 3g only but seems like that only also blocked. Kindly help me :crying:

Hi i really need a bug help. I bought my s3 Lte 4G in singapore last month. i activated my LTE simcard from globe but when it was activated I cannot open my Mobile Data. everytime i try to open mibile data it says "Insert sim to access network services" I was able to use my H+ signal when i still have my regular simcard and ive talked to globe and they said that they did not released any LTE s3 (Thats why im looking for a way to use this here). I know some s3 LTE users can use their globe sim but it is the s3 LTE unit with the antenna , mine dosent have any. please i really do need ur help. By the way im from the philippines ang globe user.thankyou
Hi,
I also have the same problem. I bought the S3 LTE i9305. I thought it would be compatible with the Globe sim(Philippines) since the S4 works with it. When I used the LTE sim in the i9305 it can be used to call/text but when accessing data/network it displays the "Insert sim" message. Non-LTE sim works fine.
Anyone have any idea on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Usual wrong modem wrong CSC.

I got mine working. I read somewhere that the an update for the i9305 fixes this so I factory reset my s3 and updated via kies. After the update I now have 4G as signal.
Just a question though, my friends with iphone are getting LTE, and mine is 4G. Same service provider. Am I still not getting LTE?
s3 lte help
what should we do? can anyone give us a link on what type of bandwith am i gonna use?
Hello Guys,
I hope somebody can help me to find out whats happening with my phone. A few days ago I bought an ascend P7 (unlocked) and I put in a T-Mobile sim, then I realized the mobile data is not working as expected. I use to have LTE connectivity and 4G with my previous phone and now with the Ascend it always show H+ or 3G but even though every time I tried to use the internet I got an error regarding a bad connection. And is the same for any app (facebook, browser, g maps) even when I try to send a message using Line some times it fails.
So, I want to know if it is a known issue with this brand-model or if it could be something with my phone itself?
These are the specification on the phone:
Huawei Ascend P7-L10
UI Version 2.3
Android Version 4.4.2
APN: fast.t-mobile.com (it was detected automatically when I inserted the SIM card)
I tried changing the APN for a different one fouin using google but it was the same. In general I really like this phone so I hope someone can help me with it.
Regards
Hi everyone,
I'm having some trouble using a S4 Active from AT&T with a french provider.
I live in france, and this device was bought over the Internet. At the time of the purchase, nothing told me that this was a foreign phone.
Now I have this phone, which works perfectly with newer 4G networks, wifi and text messages. But, when I'm in an area with 3G only, then the phone connects in Edge. Furthermore, MMS messages, when sending photos, won't work whatever network I'm connect to. Strangely, it's ok if the message contains only smileys.
The device is running under the official AT&T Android 4.3 (I537UCUBML2). It doesn't want to upgrade to the latest 4.4 version (though I don't really think this might solve my main problem).
Does anyone have any clue ? A solution ?
Thank you.
Hi All,
Disclaimer: Newbie.
During December I updated my N920I via OTA. Since this update my phone constantly has network drop outs, no 3G or 4G. If I force 2G it will sometimes work albeit very slowly.
Steps taken:
Simcard Replacement
Factory Reset
Manual Flash (N920IDVU3BPL2) via Odin
Prior to this update the phone was working fine with build N920IDVU3BPJ3.
I downloaded the N920IDVU3BPJ3 Optus specific image from Sammobile and tried deploying it using Odin however I received the "SYSTEM REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 1 BINARY 0" error. From what I have read it means that I have a locked bootloader?
I have been advised by Samsung that I am unable to downgrade? (I assume you can if you trip Knox)
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I haven't had a properly working phone since Boxing day
Thanks heaps
4g/LTE not working on N920I
Same here:
LTE was working fine on my N920I out of the box, but suddenly I observed that its only connecting 3G or 2G but not 4G. I thought that it may be custom rom issue.
I have installed Australia fimware through Samsung Kies. But it did not work.
Now I have manually installed Singapore firmware through ODIN
I have cleared internal storage and factory reset the phone
Upon forcing 4G only mode, the phone does not get signals and gets hot
I have tried inserting my sim to S7 and it quickly got connected to 4G, but 3G does not get connected to my phone
I have also contacted my carrier and they say everything is working fine
I have checked APN settings with carrier as well
I dont know what to do. Does this mean that my phone has some modem hardware issue which has broken modem due to overheat or bad code or something.

Not possible since the S7 worked! Sounds like you need a new SIM card that's all.. Or you can try changing the settings again by going to Settings>Mobile Network>Network Mode and see what it's on..

I have changed Network Mode to 2G only, 3G only, 3g/2G (auto connect), LTE/3G/2G (auto connect) modes one by one after your suggestion but phone is only working on 2G and 3G not LTE.
Earlier I was having N920IDVU2BPG3_N920IXSA2BPG3_N920IDVU2BPG3_HOME.tar firmware but now since I have installed the latest N920IDVU3BPL2_N920IXSA3BPL2_N920IDVU3BPL2_HOME.tar so now I cannot go back to N920IDVU2BPG3 anymore and I get error:
sw rev check fail device 3 binary 2 in odin.
Does this has anything to do with firmware or my Modem chip is faulty due to overheat or anything?

Hello,
same thing happened with my 9208 duos...
it happened some 3 weeks ago and only happened after my phone downloaded some updates..
carrier, sim all is good... issue is with phone software... and forcing it on lte only ends up having no signals..
Biggest prob is that it aint allowing to downgrade to another firmware with odin even...
ps. i dont think overheating of modem would restrict us to H & H+... if it was fried i guess there wont be any data at all...
if you are able to find a solution dont forget to let me know...
thanks

Hello, I''''ve a Galaxy Note5 N920I which wasn''''t bought from Saudi Arabia. My phone doesn''''t connect to 4G at all and at best even if it connects to 3G the connection is pretty much slow, even the Dial-Up calls are not stable and _quotlaggy_quot. I''''ve noticed that whenever I change the data connection to 4G network the device gets considerably hot at the power button side. All of this happened suddenly without any prompt about 3 days ago... I''''ve already tried changing the SIM card and testing it on other mobiles and the SIM worked just fine, also tried to change the APN and network settings but nothing worked. I am really concerned about the idea that the device might explode at any moment.
I have the same problem, my device N920I which I didn't buy from Saudi Arabia but I live there. Samsung S.A didn't help me out but rather than that they told me to contact with Samsung's branch in the country I bought the device from.
At the current situation, I have no choice other than waiting the device to explode maybe.
I regret that I didn't choose Apple's iPhone actually, as they would help me out without such irresponsibility.
Anyway, I am waiting for your assistance.
Any updates on this issue its getting worse day by day! Its summer here and i cant even touch my phone its becoming so hot.
My S6 Edge SM-G925V worked perfectly back in India on Vodafone Band 3 LTE until marshmallow update. In the Nougat update verizon/samsung has some issue with their cellular firmware - after that i am never able to camp to any LTE network.
It was running smooth until the G925VVZW4CPD2 (6.0.1) update, all settings are ok. I tried the other popular network sim of JIO ( Band 40) that also is same. Bigger problem is that the modem crashes far too many times on the 2g/3G also. I can see the networks bar go and come in a loop again and again, making phone useless.
Verizon surely has messed something up with the latest 7.0 update, which they deny (have contacted them). There are couple of forums in Sammobile on the same. No luck with solution.
Just yesterday got one more update of 2GB which brings it to one update over 7.0. No luck. Still no LTE camping.
Do not suggest to check the APN settings i have checked they good. Anythings else or you also facing same issue ?
Can anyone show how to get the blocked service menu (via codes) working ?
Got the same problem. I immediately updated my phone from Marshmallow to Nougat via system settings.
I got the S6 Edge Verizon. Made several readings and found out that the device is unlocked, so I bought a local LTE SIM card (SMART) here in the Philippines and inserted it to the device. I applied the appropriate APN settings for the LTE and tested the connection. No luck. I wasn't able to test the LTE connectivity when I was in Marshmallow though.
I was able to connect to the internet via 3G connection and IT WAS WAAAY TO SLOW (0.5 mbps)
I tested the same settings with the Galaxy S5 (Verizon), still with a local LTE SIM card (SMART). LTE connection was immediately established (15+ mbps... not bad). This proves that my area is covered by LTE and the problem is on the S6 Edge. Is there a way to fix this?

I have the same problem, since the update I can't connect to LTE, I've tried forcing the 4g/lte network but it simply wont connect.
so no answer to this yet huh? issue with wifes phone so i cant call her during the day but text are still getting through thank god!
I installed the new update via the smartswitch. Sw ver: NRD90M.G925VVRU4DQF3
This also did not solve the LTE camping issue on international roaming as stated in original thread, infact the modem crashes so often on 2G/3G also (GSM/UMTS)
Anyone here from verizon/samsung who can pass on the message to relevant folks that there is a major issue which they have not addressed. I am surprised such a common bug was not tested before releasing offical binary for update !! #shame.
Any updates?

Any updates on a solution for this? I finally got around to updating my G925V OTA with Verizon, and I've run into the same issue. I hope I don't have to roll back the update manually but I guess I might have to because I have searched for a solution everywhere and have tried everything but nothing works.
Exact same issue, modem crashes constantly (I'll have signal on H/H+ only, and then it drops. Signal comes back. Then drops), and I never get LTE.
Tried all the obvious solutions (e.g. reboot, factory reset, network reset, clear cache partition, boot into safe mode, reprovisioning from carrier, confiming IMEI with carrier etc.) but nothing works.
What did you guys figure out?
