I'm using the P9 on T-Mobile, I know the 4G icon means LTE, but I can't get any app that shows your LTE status to work on the P9. I would like to see what band I'm on.

yeah it doesnt work for me either. i echo your request.
You can't because simply P9 hasn't got LTE icon available in SystemUI thats why even trying to mod device to show LTE instead of 4G won't work. It works on most Sammy, LG, HTC phones
It seems to not even work on LTE in my case. Its not the icon, I'm simply not getting LTE.
This theme show LTE icon:

I don't have a P9, but I'm thinking about getting one, also on Tmobile LTE. In settings > about phone > status > sim status you can get signal strength, what band it's on, what speed etc.

I have T-mobile g flex but in my provider we dont have 4G network yet. when I connecting to network the icon of 4G appears. in the network settings I have marked gsm+wcdma. In my othed phone (LG G2) it conects with "H+" icon. how can I bring back the H+?
4g is h+ icon. No other one unless you mod. 4g lte is obvious lte

There was a mod for the Note 2 that gave accurate data signals. I haven't checked if it will work for us because honestly I've been kind of waiting for Kit Kat before I started working to much on a ROM, but if I get a chance I'll take a look and maybe just make it for JB until the update arrives. I'm with you I hate being lied to and told everything is 4G by T-Mobile.
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!

i change my networks all the time, without issue. if i put lte only, i get lte only. but cant make phone calls on it, so i use lte/gsm. if you dont have an lte signal, it will not connect to lte only.

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
Hello,
Can I use verison version of this phone in Europe (serbia, slovenia...) normally? Can I turn off 4g/LTE if I need and use only 3g/hspa connections? In my region 4g signal is pure and I have a problem with battery and signal. Does secret menu *#*#4636#*#* works of this version of phone? Thank you.
U can use this phone. Just replace with a local sim card. There is an "unrecognized sim" icon constantly in the notification bar, but other than that everything works the same.

I lived in Spain with the g925v and it does work, but only on 2g/3g, no 4g LTE signal. By that time I was running Android 5.0.2, I believe that with the updates the European LTE band is usable now but I can't assure that.
You can turn off the LTE antenna accessing the menu with this code *#27663368378#
I have a Xfinity Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and today I noticed out of the corner of my eye that the LTE signal had a + next to it when sending a message. Then it went away. I then ran speedtest and it showed again. There isn't anything online about Xfinity or the Note 8 showing LTE+. Any info?
I believe it comes up if you're phone is using "carrier aggregation" so when it connects to more than 1 band. Usually occurs when using data
Yup as said, the + is when carrier aggregatuon is active. LTE+ is the same as 4G+. The major US carriers don't use seperate icons for CA being active. I'm on T-Mobile USA & changed mine to the LTE/LTE+/H icons.
I want sure as I have never seen that before or even having those speeds unless I am connected to my home WiFi which is 300 Mb/s.

How did you switch icons? I have the 950FD and I prefer the LTE than 4G icons. Also, what's H?

You can use substratum with the paid andromeda plugin (for Oero) or sungstratum (for nougat) for unrooted phones plus another plugin called subtweaks (I think its called) to change 4G to LTE. (I use it when I was on nougat but not I haven't used it on oreo.)
For rooted phones just substratum and subtweaks.
H is HSPA, HSPA+ which is major upgrade to 3G networks. Speeds around 21 Mbps or so.

To use alternate stock Samsung or carrier data icons edit the following line in cscfeatures.xml then reboot, need root & unencrypted CSC though. Values: LTE, TMB, VWZ, ATT, SPR. No value or deleting the line will give you 4G/4G+. Most US carrier icons won't have a separate icon for when carrier aggregation is active and is why I use the LTE icons.
Code:
<CscFeature_SystemUI_ConfigOpBrandingForIndicatorIcon>LTE</CscFeature_SystemUI_ConfigOpBrandingForIndicatorIcon>
H & H+ is for HSPA & HSPA+, it's what most US carriers call "3G". If you use US carrier icons, you will get a 3G icon or a 4G icon without LTE next to it for HSPA & HSPA+.
