[Q] Help understanding 4G vs LTE designation - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A few days ago, my wife and I both got new Sony Xperia Z3 Compacts. We both activated on Cricket. Everything seems to be working well, but one of the phones shows it is connected to 4G and the other shows it is connected to LTE. Both phones have identical APN settings. Additionally, they have different options for 'preferred network type'. They one that shows LTE can choose
WCDMA only
GSM only
WCDMA (preferred)/GSM
LTE (preferred)/WCDMA/GSM.
The one that shows 4G can choose
4G (preferred)/3G/2G
3G only
3G (preferred)/2G
Can anyone shed some light on why they are showing up differently?

It seems that u have different types of z3c. Maybe one is with another region firmware.
Hit *#*#7378423#*#* on dialer and check under Service info - Software info if the customization version matches. If not, one phone has another region firmware. There is no difference, only that it shows 4g instead of lte and thats the same

Thanks for replying!
They are both D5803, but yes, the customization version on the two are different. The LTE one says 1289-4696_R4C and the 4G one says 1288-6117_R7C. Is there a way to get them the same?
edit: It looks like the answer to my question about making them the same can be found in this thread:

U can use xperiafirm to download the r4c firmware and flash it via flashtool. Make backup of internal memory or uncheck userdata in wipe options or memory will be erased

[Q] LTE option missing in network selection

Hello modders,
I am considering buying the Xperia Z because I really like the device and software.
However after my first hands-on experience, I have discovered that the c6603 model, sold by our carrier (T-Mobile CZ), seems to have LTE disabled. Although the service menu does show all the supported LTE bands, when I go to Settings-Mobile networks and try to change the enabled networks, only the following options are available:
- WCDMA only
- GSM only
- WCDMA/GSM mode
The question remains, how this is controlled and what can be done to enable the search and support for LTE networks.
Is this stored somewhere in some carrier settings file? Is it carrier specific, so that with some operators, this is enabled automatically, for others it's disabled? Can we change it somehow?
I am not feeling quite well about these options being disabled per-carrier.
Thanks.
I think flashing unbranded firmware will work for you.

I found in the UK, the option was missing on my UK Phones 4U firmware (350).
I thought it was some mods initially, but after applying the Greece FTF unbranded update (434), i got it back, even whilst running the same mods.
I flashed the UK 434 FTF update, and it's missing again, with the same mods.
These are only stock mods, status bar menu icons, reboot mod.
I will re flash the Greece Unbranded FTF and confirm if it's still missing, if it is not missing, for some reason, the UK unbranded FTF's (350 and 434) have it missing.
I flashed the .434 Nordic ftf and the LTE option is there. It wasn't on the original 3 rom.
I can't notice any difference at all that its a Nordic ftf and not a uk one, so I'll stick with this.
if LTE option is missing, it's only the option concealed but LTE is still there.
the culprit may be /vendor/overlay/com.android.phone-res.apk. try delete it after rooting.
otherwise, just ignore it and dial *#*#4636#*#* to enter what mode and you can see LTE options there.

This is controlled by your vendor's customisation of the ROM, I am guessing if they have removed LTE, then they do not support it. Therefore not sure why you would want to add it back, because you will not be able to use it. Because once your vendor supports LTE, I am certain they will send you out an update.
My phone has LTE, my provider has LTE. But I had no LTE on my phone, until I changed the plan I was on. And I couldn't force that on, because the vendor blocked that.
In addition as stated here any generic ROM should give you the phone/ROM in all it's glory, provided your vendor has LTE
Did you choose the correct setting in mobile network

I bought a Phones4U unbranded XZ a few days ago, with a T-Mob contract, and it DOES have the option, it had on when I was on 350 and it still has it now on 434. Perhaps it's related to the APN settings that the carrier sends you OTA? Obviously T-Mob is part of EE which has 4G so that could have done something.
I don't understand why your XZ doesn't have the settings though.
Are you sure you have the Z supporting LTE? There is a LTE and non LTE version on sale.

This was my next question, is it possible that the UK firmware reads the SIM card first and then 'knows' wether your current network is able to run LTE / 4G, if it's not, it only allows you to select the most appropriate setting, in my case GSM / WCDMA
Im on o2, not 4G, but the option was still selectable on my old Xperia V, and the Greece Unbranded Xperia Z FTF.
Have you tried a non 4G SIM / network in your phone to see if you get the option or not? Or could you...just to rule this out? If it is most likely APN related, then am not fussed, as soon as O2 has 4G, i should be able to utilize it
Cheers

Again only if your provider has locked this part out of the sim card, pretty crap if they did because this can be easily be controlled from within the network. Because when you scan it should show all networks around even ones you can't connect to, if not they have locked certain bands on the sim

LTE on M7 U

I have M7 U (no LTE support) I want to get LTE support on it and this what I have done so far
1. ulocked bootloader
2. s-off
3. changed CID to HTC__001
4. changed MID to PN0710000
5. flashed RUU (RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13. 3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe) from this collection
Now (theoretically speaking) my LTE sholud be working right? it is not
(NOTE: neither my SIM or my area has support for LTE but I'm assuming that if I force my mobile to connect to LTE network there will be no bars in the phone and it will not connect to any network 2G,3G or 4G I have tried that with "LTE onoff" app but it did not work)
if my assumption is wrong, please tell me (I will contact my operator to get LTE support on my SIM and will find an area that has LTE network)
if there is something wrong I've done above, please correct me
if there is something missing I should have done but did not, please point it out
Thank you for the great help you provided to me

I thought that the snapdragon 600 already has LTE modem but if you are talking about frequencies I do not know about it
there is an article about it but I cannot post it because I have less than 10 posts you can find it in Android Revolution HD page (it is 3 months old)

The S600 does indeed support LTE, but I believe the modems are not integrated into the SoC. That's why the Korean/Chinese version have SD slots. The radio chips are smaller/different than the international one and thus they have space for SD. I could be wrong though.

you could be right, but my purpose of this is to be sure if we can activate the LTE in the U version or not because when I search the internet I do not see a clear answer I just see assumptions with no actual experience and some people are waiting for others to do it to avoid bricking there devices but me I'm taking the risk because I cannot just set there not sure if I can do more with my device or not ( maybe I'm nuts )
BTW if some has any idea on how supposedly activate the LTE on M7 U (even if not sure) I'm willing to try it
Hi,
You can try this , it might or might not work..
I don't have HTC one yet so I don't know what will be the effect, it might brick the device so do it at your own risk.

I have seen this post and I got that there is a possibility of activating LTE on my device but still I do not know how.
Hi! Please post a screenshot of the version of the baseband you have in Settings->About phone
After that I'd like to ask if the settings already has the LTE options in mobile data?
If yes then what happens if you select it there?
Do you lose signal?
Does it revert back to GSM or HSPA or whatever?
Does it make your phone crash?
Any update about this?

sorry for being late
in the options there is no (LTE only) option but I have used LTE onoff app to select that option and it reverts back to GSM or auto or whatever, I never lose signal and my phone never crashes

in the attachments you will find two screenshots, one for the base band and one for the network options

I tried to set it on LTE only but It does not work, though the problem is not losing signal bars but it keeps reverting back to the previously selected option.
Even on LTE models the option reverts back when no LTE signal is available
Also I have already confirmed this on a different post months ago that it's not possible.
The HTC One uses 2 different type of power amplifier which controls the frequency signals of the phone and unfortunately the U version's amplifier was not made to recieve LTE frequencies.
Only option to fix this is to physically replace the power amplifier of the device.

C5502 LTE option in phone settings

Why does the C5502 offer LTE as an option in the mobile network settings?
Can others confirm this is the case with their phones?
Is this just because firmware is common to both or have I got a mislabelled C5503?
We don't have LTE here so can't test.

Either you are lucky to get a C5503 model out of the box (of a C5502) or the firmware that is currently installed in your phone is for a C5503
Hmmm, model number on phone and in settings says C5502. My wife's C5502 also has the LTE option. Both bought brand new. I imagine it's just a common firmware and there's no way to enable LTE. In service menu the "working bands" only list UMTS bands but LTE is presented as an option in 4636 menu.
Is there a software way to check the radio chip on my phone?

SM-N950N CSC change

So i bought the N950N version from SK (kt branded) is there any way to change the csc to multi? I live in italy so i need the ITV one. Im asking this becuase the mobile data icon stays on 3G while on my S6E+ chamges to H+ (don't have 4G acrivated because of reasons). The speedtest also shows a big differnce in DL from the 2 phones.
Thanks in advance

I don't think the CSC change would help you as your issue is with the radio which is in CP file. It is not an icon or preinstalled apps as you have described. There was a speed difference so it is most likely a 3G band compatibility issue.

You won't be able to flash a 950F firmware with Odin, but you can install TWRP and flash a ROM in a zip file that way. Root has nothing to do with this method because the entire system is replaced.

Sorry to bother ypu again, went on device information, under sim status and noticed that it is actually HSPA+. Could this mean that is just the data icon not changing but it actually connects to H+ network?

yes, the icon displayed is based on which CSC is loaded. HSPA is technically a 3G technology, so some companies display it this way. Some companies call HSPA+ 4G, and some call LTE 4G.
Can you download the app LTE Discovery and see which type of network you are connecting to?

Hi, I am new on this forum and I reached here searching for the same issue.
I bought a galaxy note 8 SM-N950N, single sim, 64 Gb it’s the korean model.
Since I am italian and soon will go back to Italy, I’d like to know if is it possible to flash a stock italian or at least european rom.
And if you have any suggestion about which one should I use, for the moment I understood that I should flash the twrp and then put a zip file with the rom.
Is it possible to do it also without triggering the knox?
Thanks in advance.

Go to settings, general management, reset, then reset network settings. You will have to re-enter WiFi passwords though, but hopefully that will fix it for you

That's strange, I don't have a problem and I didn't change the CSC for it. I think there are some threads here on how to change the CSC from a 950N, but you would have to root the phone. I haven't done that so I won't be a help in that. Good luck, and let us know if you get it sorted.

How to force 4g LTE on sim 1 or sim 2 as needed?

I am using the dual sim Exynos version of Note 9 and want to be able to force 4g LTE on either of the two sims as needed.
Can someone please advise how to do this on an unrooted phone? Thanks
Anyone?
I also found no solution. I think it's possible without root but no one is updating the Phone Information Apps. We need to get access at phone information 2 and not only on 1
Mine are both 4G / LTE. Inever need to switch the Sims around. Whichever I choose for days gets LTE. this is different from what I had in the Note 8. I was pleasantly surprised. Therefore it may be a settings issue for you. I have the Note 960F/D
you may try quickshortcutmaker app on exynis version and follow instructions in video

I feel like the Tasker App could handle this easily.
I dont understand the actual need.
Simply changing preferred network mode from LTE to 3G shall do to stop LTE on any sim.
I use LTE on both sims for calls
I use LTE for data on specific sim by making it as preferred sim for data.
Settings -- Networks -- Sim card manager shall help in these settings.
I am on exynos N960F Indian firmware.

You don't understand the actual need ??
So i will tell you
On my work i am located in a big Hall underground. The Provider i need down there is only coming in with -110 dB and less which is one LTE Bar. If i leave Automatic Mode it switches always in 2g Mode because of much higher Signal. So to get a nice experience and have LTE always available there is no other solution. The same kind of problem is on my other LTE Sim when on different Locations during the Day ! So i have no time to always switch sim cards so that sim2 is forcing lte !
And off course no one else knows this and so i benefit of this extremely fast connection where all others are crying because of no 4g connection

OK understood.
Did not you get one UI already which has option of LTE only selection too for network mode.
Negative. Here the German Rom (dbt csc unbranded)
Has never got LTE Only mode in the menu. This is also for all European Roms. I have had this only when using Root and Custom Roms.
Because i use many banking and streaming apps it's not possible to root this time. Even with Magisk Hide they will not work.
If i could i would have rooted long time ago. This is getting me Crazy really

Sorry but are you reading my Post?
I am talking LTE Only on Sim Slot 2 of any Samsung Phone out today. All the LTE Only Apps or the Phone Info Menu where they lead you is only working on Sim Slot 1.
I am sure there is a dial code like the one it gets you to the Phone1 Information Screen where you can change the bands. But only for Sim 2 (Phone info 2) on Samsung.
So again LTE Only on sim Slot 2 on Samsung Duos Versions is not Possible @ the moment without Root!
If there is any Dev out there you would be the first One to create an app where Phone INFO 2 is possible to change! Or just find the right hidden code for that i know it's there like the Phone Information 1
Hi,
There's an option to force the selected APN to LTE only but I don't know if it will behave like you want to.
What's great is that it's per SIM so you can try any combinaisons.
Deselect "undefined" and select only the "LTE" one (screenshots).
I expect that if it find any other bands getting a better signal than LTE, it will just let the phone loss the signal and not trying to catch the LTE one, but you can try.

Hey thanks for that. I really was in hope this could work but that would have bean to easy. Unfortunately it's not changing bands after deselecting undefined and than choose some network mode it remains to the same band but it looses the mobile data symbol (but still remains in same band).

This code and all Codes are not working on European Samsung Devices with Android 9 .
I Even Rooted my Galaxy Note 9 and all the hidden codes are Not working ! Even Samsung Phone Info App or other Apps are not working with Latest Android 9.
Only way is Root and Custom Rom like Alex Dev Rom where the CSC is Modified. There it was possible to change both Sim to LTE Only ! But as told before with Root
i loose to many services which are detected even with Magisk . So my next Phone will not be Samsung anymore because of that.
