Not necessarily.. phone such as the D801 for Wind Mobile in Canada, has LTE disabled by the carrier and needs to be enabled manually. This is mainly because Wind does not have a LTE network and so if you have a non Wind LTE SIM you will need to unlock the LTE option in order to use the LTE network or be stuck with 4G speeds.

you dont want to permanent enable LTE because then voice would not work maybe sending SMS would be a problem too, this is the case for T-mobile and I imagine the same for ATT, verizon and sprint uses CDMA technology so it may be different, but if you insist on doing it, follow op guide and check LTE only...
Indian Model also has LTE disabled, but this should enable it. Only problemwe do nt have LTE in the country anyway
I guess it will help me when i am travelling to Europe next.

Sorry i should have expressed more clearly what i meaned! I am looking for a solution that once i set it to GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto, this setting survives a reboot.
Untill now i have to set the optinion after every reboot again
Unfortunately this solution not run for me, I must activate it manually with an app.

UPDATE: PLEASE SEE CHN110's SIGNATURE FOR AN AMSS MODIFIED Tmobile MODEM (thanks to hotwir3 and delacrow) WITH UNRESTRICTED RAT ACCESS!
The following method is still the one that works with UCLF6. BUT I WILL MODIFY THOSE AMSS BIN FILES AS HOTWIR3 HAS AND SEE IF THE WORKAROUND CAN BE ELIMINATED!
UPDATE 2: USING THE AMSS FILES FROM THE N7005 ROM WITH UCLF6 MODEM DID NOT WORK...STILL HAVE TO ACCESS
RAT USING THE WORKAROUND.
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed we are not locked out of RAT selection on this base?
I'm on edge now...cool. slow but cool. Have to use a previously known work around but it does work. :good: I would like to see if it works for someone else before I post the method I used, PM me if you have want to know how to set it.

Here is the workaround...as I said it is a previously known process, I just decided to give it a try and it works:
First I suggest you must be on one of the new DXLJ2 based ROMs (never tried any other base, its possible 4.1 kanged and aosp Roms may work also)...heres the dialer method I used, with phone powered on take your SIM card out (pry it up a little to get past the battery), reboot the phone then after startup is complete make sure wifi and airplane mode are turned off, dial:
*#197328640# or (short cut) *#2263#...then follow the menu options: (DEBUG SCREEN/ PHONE CONTROL/ NETWORK CONTROL/ BAND SELECTION/ now here you have several options but to get "edge" choose GSM BAND PREFERENCE/ GSM850) THIS IS IMPORTANT> then press on the phone menu key and press "BACK" make sure you see the asterik in parenthesis next to the option you have chosen...then use the phone menu key to select "end". reinsert SIM then restart phone ( dont pull the battery to insert sim).You will also have to check your APN settings and select "bearer unspecified" at the bottom of APN SETUP. Thats it...its an old workaround from when I used my Captivate and SII primarily. Cant remember where I got it (on here somewhere I'm sure) but I had the method saved as text in a notepad file and came across it yesterday.
Good luck and enjoy.
you have the e circled as gprs..
from what i have seen before.. if you are in a gprs are, you would get a 'g' icon,
My bad...that might be a mislabel by me, its just a label but to your point I guess it should read egprs..but it is edge (2.5g) and not 3g or 4g.
This from a google search:
General packet radio service (GPRS) is a packet oriented mobile data .... Such mobiles are considered pseudo-Class A, sometimes referred to as ... EGPRS ( EDGE), 236.8, 59.2 (Class 8, 10 and MCS-9), 4+1 ...
and some further searching...

I'm still new to the Note do please excuse my ignorance... but what does this mod do?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Actually this isn't a mod it is a 'workaround' to achieve RAT access on UCLF6. The UVLG3 modem (was modded to carry the amss files from the N7005 base) and does not have restricted access so you wouldn't need to use this method. Although switching bands thru the settings menu is not yet fully functional, you can use the dialer (ussd) code to choose any band...and it basically allows you to switch off LTE and use 3g only. Helps save data when say your near your monthly limit or whenever. As far as the modem from Tmobile goes, basically it probably only is a benefit for ATT users (being unresticted to change RAT selection). It has the 1900 band added so they (Tmobile) could sell the iphone. The speeds when I tested it were unfortunately typical and not impressive.The reason Tmobile bought out Metropcs was to accrue access to their LTE network, so after that becomes final then Tmobile users will finally get the most out of their Notes...be patient it's coming.

Just a quick FYI, I did this selecting only the GSM Band 850 and thought I had hosed my sim/phone. Nothing worked after I did this. I did however go back and select the 850/1900 band and that fixed it. Seems some AT&T area may use both bands.

Were you on UVLG3 when that happened? When you say hosed you mean no cell signal at all? I believe UVLG3 only has 1900 band available for the ATT user. The workaround is for UCLF6 and when something similar happened to me I found that when I changed the last line (bearer) in the APN settings to unspecified that it will work. This is mentioned at the end of the first post. Please let me know as it would be interesting to see which modem you were on when it happened.
Sent from my GT-N7005 using xda premium
I'm on UCLF6, but I'm not on ATT so my Bearer is always set to unspecified
Yeah phone just showed the circle w/ a line through it for the cell signal. So it saw the sim card, but the radio wouldn't attach to just the 850 frequency. If I remember correctly, I believe that AT&T uses two frequencies. One for uplink, the other for downlink, which is why it started working after I picked the 850/1900 line.
They use the lower frequency in rural areas and the higher in urban. Lower frequencies travel farther.
To clarify as I am sure this question will get asked.
The VZW S4 is already unlocked for other SIMs (T-mobile verified - like the VZW GN2.
I haven't checked the Add APNs section under mobile network settings but assume it is there and working as it now does on the VZW GN2.
EDIT:
To access the Add APN menu you must have a SIM other than VZW in your phone.
Thanks astralentity for confirming.

New here, but I've been following the site for almost 3 years now.
I got my S4 yesterday, and I can confirm that with my AT&T microsim for GoPhone service, I was able to get HSPA+ without any software or hardware modifications. When you have a different SIM in your phone, you can add APN information. After I added the wap.cingular info, HSPA became HSPAP in the Status menu, and I had H+ on the notification bar.
I have no money in the GoPhone account right now, so I was unable to test the speeds on HSPA+. Verizon is still my primary service, the GoPhone is my emergency backup.
Hope this helps everyone! I can provide screenshots after when I get home and able to pop in the AT&T SIM.

I did not need root to add APN info. You should be good to go with international SIMs, since HSPA is available on all bands with this phone, with the possible exception of 1700.
What about that World Data plan that the verizon customer service been telling me all the time when I asked them if the phone would work outside US.

The verizon version does not support the 1700 band (according to the Verizon website), so you would need to be in an area that has been upgraded to the 1900 band of hspa+.
Here's the info straight from Verizon;
Network
Network: LTE, CDMA/1xEVDO Rev. A (800/1900 MHz)
Global Network: EDGE/GSM (850/900/1800/1900), HSPA/UMTS(850/900/1900/2100)
Hi all
I have a quick question under your APNs are you only seeing one line "Verizon LTE" as the only access point? I was messing around with my apns-conf file and I wanted to make sure I restored the right one. Does your screen look like this with a Verizon sim inside?

I have the correct ATT apns and when I receive a MMS I have to turn off WiFi in order to download the picture. It has something to do with the phone
You will get LTE off AT&T (and T-Mobile) if they are using Band4 in your current area. In some areas they use a different band, maybe band 21 - I can't remember offhand. Our VS985 cannot use band21, it uses band 4 and band 13 for LTE though.
It has been figured out that it is also possible to enable Band3 LTE on the VS985, but that is only going to help in other countries, particularly France.

I recently went through this. I was assured from att that I would get lte. Well, after days of trouble shooting with att and trying different hacks I could only get h+
I even went right next to a strong att tower area and still could not. For mms the only way I could get it to work was by using textra, which had a fix for mms by turning off wifi.
What I have learned is that there are some att bands that are locked out in the Verizon phone. There was an xda post that almost had it figured out but nobody could get it working.
H+ is pretty fast by the way, but I was unsatisfied so I am back on Verizon.
And also, do not ever flash anything other than a Verizon rom and radio.

I would message @autoprime about this. He was recently working on unifying all G3 variants' modems since they all use the same radio with different bands unlocked. He may have a method to unlock the bands you need.

Did you make sure Band 4 was supported in your area? I know that's the only LTE band that is supported by the Verizon G3 variant.
The VErizon version uses only the Verizon modem (radio) firmware. It does not and cannot enable the ATT LTE bands.. Just so happens that one band is the same. For the rest you are out of luck. Read this for more information.

Yep, I think it's because technically the phone isn't activated on Verizon. I just went into my account and it does not show as activated, when I try to activate it it says this phone is not compatible with VZ's network .. I'm guessing I can probably call in and get them to add it, have you already done that?

Huh, mine says Roaming but shows LTE and 1x. I'm wondering if the 1xRTT is causing it, it says it's network extended so I'm assuming being on 2.5g may count as roaming. Once I leave my house tomorrow I'm going to keep an eye on it and see what happens. Still haven't been able to get HD Voice but VZW support said they're opening a ticket to get it added to my phone.

Can confirm, out of my house my roaming triangle goes away. Looks like because I'm on 1x in my house it brings up the roaming icon even though I still have access to lte.

Not sure why you are posting in this thread. This thread is about US998 V30+ on Verizon network showing roaming indicator...
Advice? Yes. Stay away from Sprint phones unless you are a Sprint customer. Even then NEVER buy them on eBay.

It was my bad, didn't mean to post it here... was a mistake. phone bough it from sprint since i am a customer and was looking for unlock it. thanks anyway already post on the proper thread.
this is a real thing weird carrier and Samsung start to play with consumer too much just like Apple (or Nokia years ago)
this insane i bought from Samsung direct s9+ and all working band 71 wi-fi calling but now t-mobile push you to use wi-fi calling when connected wi-fi I tried turn it off here we go no way,
settings connections wi-fi calling menu is removed
WTF t-mobile or Samsung I been searched for 1h no way,
we need a Linux for phones also i guess get sick of searching to get out of some ****s,
Dear t-mobile guys if you reading wi-fi call might save you some ports but it is hell bad voice quality and you guys are deciding what to do or how to use the phone I paid for
Go to settings: connections: more connection settings: wi-fi calling.
There you can choose your settings.

I have the USA unlocked U1 variant. No I didn't have to flash T-Mobile firmware in order for it to work. T-Mobile isn't like other carriers, wifi calling works out of the box as long as software supports it, they don't block it from non-branded phones. Even my OnePlus phones wifi calling works on T-Mobile.

thank you!
another question. this will be out of topic. but have you tried recording video with loud band or loud music? If you did. How is the recording sound Quality? one of the Reasons that I wanted to replace my Note 8 is. when i record a video with my band even with an external Mic. it seems to compress the sound. so it will be like lower volume then, it will be normal volume then lower volume. TIA.
WiFi calling hardware missing on unlocked S9?
I am being told by Samsung that the hardware to make WiFi calling is missing on the unlocked phones. This sounds odd. Can anyone on this forum confirm?

The unlocked version will not have the option to turn on Wi-Fi calling as the hardware which supports the feature is not available in Unlocked version.
This has been talked about in length in other threads.
1. Samsung support knows nothing, if it isn't on their script they will give you any answers that kinda could make sense, not necessarily facts. If you ask them again you will get a different answer.
2. Yes the unlocked variant had WiFi calling, I use WiFi calling on T-Mobile.

Unlocked S9 WiFi calling
@bkeaver, this gives me hope!
A few follow-ups:
- is the U1 variant you buy directly from Samsung or the one from Best Buy (or some place else?)
- did you have to do anything to enable WiFi calling? Where is that setting in your screenshot, Settigs or the phone app?
- are you on Tmobile USA?
Thank you so much!

U1 is the carrier unlocked variant purchased from Samsung directly. Not sure what the variant is that Best buy sells. Could be the same model for all I know. WiFi calling is on by default and off the top of my head I don't remember which menu it's off of. Give me a few and I'll fire it up and get you a location of it.
And yes it's T-Mobile USA

If you buy an unlocked model from Best Buy, that's also U1...just like direct from Samsung.

Pitching in to confirm, S9+ unlocked, directly from Samsung using Mint Cell(love it, cheap, good&plenty), which runs on T-Mobile bands. Had to do 'in app'(mint) request to enable WIFI calling and they made it possible in 5 minutes. Yes, the WIFI calling settings are in the phone by default.

Yes, T-Mobile (and I guess it's MVNOs) have made unlocked firmware work wonderfully. I'd never use carrier firmware with them.
WiFi calling on S9
On the third try, I think I figured out the WiFi calling issue on unlocked devices (Galaxy S9). The key is to have the T-Mobile SIM card in the device before starting the setup for the first time. Doing this, the first popup I got said that the device will be updated with carrier specific settings. Then i went through the setup, and WiFi calling was there in the Phone app -> settings.
On another device I went through the setup first and then popped in the Tmobile sim, and the same window about carrier settings never presented itself.

I am facing the same problem, should I factory reset it? I unlocked the phone using SamKey, and the phone is Sprint unlocked. Missing Wifi Calling
