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!

So i took out the Sim from the Iphone 6 im returning and popped it into this bad boy. Curious as to how you guys are setting up the phone so you get the correct LTE speeds. Im barely getting 9down whereas my gf's galaxy in the same room is getting 20+ down. wonder if i did anything wrong
It depends on location. I've seen consistent 50+ down and 20+ up with T-Mobile and default APN.

Nah something is def wrong. Phone is barely usable without wifi. What APN settings are you guys using for tmo?
fast.t-mobile.com it should also give you the settings automatically if you just press the "Internet settings" button.

Thats what i been running. Could it have something to do with the sim? Was i supposed to get a sim for an unlocked phone? Urrgh so frustrating
That's pretty slow, your gf has the tmo also? Pop her sim in your phone and compare. The sim shouldn't matter though.

shes got a galaxy s4 so that wont work. however i still got the iphone 6 around. when i put the sim in that phone i get regular LTE speeds.
Oh, I just noticed in your speedtest result you're on H, not LTE. Under "preferred network mode" do you have "4G (preferred)" enabled? If you're in a border coverage area it could be that your phone is dropping you down to HSPA+ instead of staying on LTE.
For a test, go to the dialer and do *#*#4636#*#* then go to Phone Info and change it to LTE Only and test it to see if it stays on LTE and what kind of speeds you get, by default it's set to "LTE/GSM auto PRL" so if the LTE connection isn't strong enough it's going to drop you down to H+.

These Are my options under preffered:
wcdma only, gsm only, wcdma (preffered)/gsm and 4g(preffered)/wcdma/gsm. i dont see lte in the list
per your test, when I switch to LTE only in phone options the I lose all bars and signal totally craps out.
So when you switched to LTE Only, after a second or 2 you didn't get a 4G symbol above the signal bar? Do you ever see 4G? Mine switches to 4G within about 1 second of switching to LTE Only.

negative. just all bars gone and a big red x. you have this phone on t mobile also? did you do the us firmware update?
Yea, I'm using tmo. My phone is running 23.0.A.2.105
I got 2.93 maybe which one is 105??
I was worried during my first day of owning the phone because my Z1c showed LTE above the bars and now this Z3c shows 4G. I was worried that 4G != LTE.
I am having issues with the 4G on my Nexus 6.
I live in the UK and I am about 150 Yards from my nearest Tower. I am well within a 4G coverage area but I get no 4G connection.
I am using the Carrier Giffgaff a subsection on the O2 network.
I have a 4G sim with a 4G package so I know I should be recieving 4G. I am waiting for my carrier to get back to me on my issues.
I was just wondering if anyone could suggest anything that may help.
I have rebooted my phone multiple times.
I have cycled Data on / off multiple times
I have cycled through Airplane mode.
I've switched the network to 3G only and back again.
In phone dialer do this: *#*#4636#*#*
Then choose what you want to connect with.
what is 4G? what kind of signal are you talking about? both hspa+ and lte are considered "4G". 4G is just a term that data providers use, its not a real signal.

if you dial *#*#4636#*#*, then press phone info, you can set your radio as lte only. after setting lte only(you wont get phone calls on lte only btw. it needs to be set to lte/gsm or lte/cdma/gsm to get calls as well). if you get no signal on lte only, then you either dont have lte in your area, or you need to talk to your provider.

Thanks for the help, no such luck LTE only gives me no service at all. I'm definitely in a 4G area. Will have to wait for my providers response.

No such luck im afraid. But according to my provider pages there's a small percentage of customers 1 in 1000 with the inability to connect to 4g even when fully set up and standing directly next to the mast. Seems to be an ongoing issue for the last month. Maybe I fall in that category just need to wait till they respond.

Are you with o2 by any chance? I'm having the exact same problem. I'm in the UK as well and haven't been able to get LTE/4G at all since I put the sim in my Nexus 6. Could get LTE almost everywhere with my Note 4.
Ask your provider to give you a replacement sim or at least go and try one in a store that is in a 4G area. This will if nothing else rule that out.

T-Mobile. Let the device sit overnight and it got LTE back. So it seems either the LTE radio in this device is terrible compared to my Note 3, or it just won't attempt to get back onto LTE all that often. Or my Devices LTE radio is messed up.

Telus Canada. XT1103.
Mine would stay on H+ after a call for a long time. I sometimes "force" it to connect to LTE by toggling cellular data and off in settings. Or a reboot.
Have tried the *#*#4636#*#* menu to change to "LTE only", but won't even connect to LTE in this case.
This feels like a software issue. Clearly it's not a network or hardware issue, since it can connect to LTE.

if its not connecting to lte when you set it to lte only, then you either dont have lte around when you set it or its an extremely weak signal.

Unfortunately, it depends a lot on where you are. The office building that I am in is very bad for LTE, signal at my desk is -100dbm, if I go outside it switches up to around -60 to -70dbm. If I choose 3G as the preferred network, sitting in exactly the same location the signal goes to -75dbm 19 au. If I am at my apartment, the LTE signal is much stronger there. This of course effects the battery life also. I am not sure if there is a way to default which LTE band is used since I think Telus only uses band 4 for LTE but I am not familiar with how the phone determines which band to use or if it keeps scanning all of them.

No, where I was testing it, LTE was strong. I also had a Nexus 5 right beside it, and it had no problem acquiring a full signal.
With the Nexus 6, after a reboot or the data toggle, it acquired LTE, again almost full signal.
So I decided to just leave it alone and use it as normal without worrying about LTE or H+. I did not toggle data or reboot, just leave it as is. I just observe. After a few days, it seems better in that it will be connect to LTE a short while after a call, and behaves like how I expected it to like on the Nexus 5.
Of course, immediately after a call, it will stay on H+. If I really wanted LTE right then, I just toggle the data on/off from settings (not by setting to "LTE only" in *#*#4636#*#* menu).

Btw whats usa band? Thanks
Is there a way to make my phone ALWAYS connect to lte whenever there is ANY signal for it without losing calling and text? I know that if you go into *#*#4636#*#* you can force the phone to stay lte, but if I do that I loose calling and texting capabilities.
My problem is my building has lte signal thought, but my phone thinks 3g is better in the first floor so it connects to it... Forcing it to lte with *#*#4636#*#* works for data, but calls and text don't go through at all.

I was thinking more along the lines of telling the phone 3g data doesn't exist or is always worse, so if it sees lte it should grab it but at the same time staying connected to cdma so phone calls work

right, that's also what the phone thinks, I want the speed not the reception. why would I want reception? I don't do phone calls like a caveman
I do realize the LTE fringes on -120dbm, but the few seconds it loses lte isn't enough to affect browsing, yet my phone thinks it's signal doomsday and switches to 3g
