Hey!
I've had my Honor 5X for about a month and I haven't yet been able to connect to my carrier's LTE Network.
I know the bands match and my phone even shows my carrier's LTE network when I turn off automatic network selection, but I can't seem to connect to it. It defaults to 3G and the highest I've gotten is HSPA+. I've tried different carriers as well but it doesn't connect to ANY 4G network.
I have 4G enabled in the settings. There's no way to force LTE as Huawei has disabled the hidden network selection menu.
Any ideas?

There is a way to edit build.prop to force it to choose but I read it somewhere and now can not find it. May be someone can explain how to do it.
editing build.prop may help
search for this line in build.prop
ro.telephony.default_network=9
change it from 9 to 10
disclaimer: always do a backup before proceeding , and do not blame me if you did something wrong of if something wrong happens..
Reset APN.
I can't edit the build.prop file because I'm not rooted. Once I do root, I'll probably install CM13 so that won't be an issue.
What I wanted to know is why this is happening. It should connect to LTE whenever it's available without me having to force it.
Anyone else having this issue?

before the Update MR5 i was able to register my device but after the MR5
it's switch's to the Sprint network and says to call the costumer care service.
what is wrong?
Settings, wireless and networks, mobile network and then network mode? Have you tried that? That way it wouldn't search for Sprint.

the stupid update*&*&*&* all up.

update
i dont know what i just did but its activated but again giving me "WIFI ERROR"
** MOD EDIT - Please refrain from vulgar language **
You need to put it in GSM only mode in network to work off your sim. If its set to cdma it will only search for those specific networks. Also you can do a manual setup by using the codes in the dialer. Not sure if they work but try *#*#3282*#*# and you will need your msl from your carrier to access. Or root it and use the msl app from the market
Edit its ##3282#

but i dont have it
i send an email to the seller that i'v bought this phone from.
hope that he can give me answer soon.
Why do you need your phone activated on Sprint if you're not going to be using Sprint?
The phone works fine without Sprint activation on an International SIM...

What is most likely happening is that the phone is trying to roam by default on Pelephone's old CDMA network (they have not shut it down, it is running in parallel with their newer 850/2100Mhz UMTS network). You can try to go into Settings->Wireless Networks->Network Mode and change it to "Any GSM/UMTS". See if that helps.
becuase everytime after the stupid update i was restarting the phone its trying to
access the Sprint network from some reason.
after i was activated the phone the wifi stopped working entirely.
I'm on an un-activated Photon and just updated myself. I do not seem to have the Wi-Fi issue you are having. Maybe it's something else...

GUARDIANBD, I am not sure why you are having wifi problems. With respect to your network issues, please confirm that you have indeed changed your network mode to "Any GSM/UMTS". If you have not done this then by not registering on Cellcom, your phone is actually acting as designed. Please understand that this phone is primarily a CDMA phone with GSM/UMTS capabilities added by Sprint as a "bonus" to their customers who go overseas.
Sprint is a CDMA carrier and if your network mode is set to just "Any Network" then they have correctly designed it to first look for a CDMA signal. If it finds one (which in your case it is finding Pelephone's old network), then it ignores any GSM/UMTS networks. If you did indeed change your network mode to "Any GSM/UMTS" and it still is trying to lock onto Pelephone's CDMA network then (and only then) you are right, the phone's software does appear to have a bug in it.
the first thing after i powerdup the phone for the first time i changed it to GSM mode.
like i say'd before its a bug in this update so i want to reverse the process and
return to MR1 update.
if i restart the phone in Airplane mode the wifi works like a charm
but after i change it back to GSM (and for some reason enables the 4G network with it) it disconnected from wifi.
Is 4G enabled on your phone?
Again, if you aren't on Sprint, it would be pretty useless to have 4G enabled.
Un-check 4G in Settings->Wireless & Networks and see if that fixes the issue for you...

hello all,
about two weeks ago a flood came through pa and ever since that flood came through the tower by my house is putting off a "bad 4g" or "h+" signal, which my atrix is forced to used, when i make a phone call the atrix drops down to 3g and i can get on the internet no problem and i can get on any other tower no problem, i called att about the problem and they said the tower by my house is in a degraded state and they don't know how long it will be before it gets fixed, to me it doesnt seem to be a priority since the problem only affects those who's phones use the bad h+ signal. I know the phone would function fine if there were some way to drop the phone down to 3g or edge as my wifes captivate works off the sme tower no problem. I have tried the #*#*4636*#*# option - gms blah blah and it didnt do anything to change the h+, i even figured out how to modify the settings under etc/motorala/android.phone/settings.xml to get the network settings ungreyed only to find out that changing the settings to 2g or 3g did nothing to change the h+ symbol, i am running stock rom 2.3.4 att, one thing i did noticed don't know if it is related but the apn's are locked, do i need to unlock my phone to force edge? those of you who have atrix and are able to force edge please let me know how you are able to and weather or not your phone is locked. if at all possible i would like to avoid flashing roms but would be willing to unlock my phone if it goves me the ability to force edge. this is ridicous that att would lock this option out. please help me as having no internet on my phone sucks
*#*#4636#*#* -> phone information -> set preferred network type to -> GSM only -> Press back button to exit out of it.
Do not attempt to change anything else.

i Tried that and it did not change the h+ down to edge and when i go back in it is set back to gsm auto/ are your apns unlocked or phone unlocked if this actually does work for you?
apn wap.cingular and set to use 2g only. wap.cingular is edge. hsdpa will be 3g speeds.
i know i thought of that too, except att has locked all of their apns they have a little lock next to them? any one know how to remove the locks or is this the same thing as unlocking the phone?

There isn't a 2G option in APN settings.
Hello from a noob. I have done the saferoot, text edited the sales dat to AWS and changed the other file (forget the name) from OFF to ON. Basically I switched the IMEI on my Metro account to a 545. I kept the same SIM. The store says there demo SIM does not pick up the internet either. The internet worked for 2 minutes and now there is no logo (4g lte, H+ etc) and no connection to the internet at all. I have tried going into the bands etc. but I think I'm missing something (I guess obviously). I have done "everything". Updated the APN settings etc. etc. It is stock rom except the root and the minor text edited changes. It is on 4.3 android. Can anyone out there please tell me how to turn off the stupid VZN LTE band option (I think that is my problem) however when I put in the *#276... command it doesn't pull up the menu that lets you access the band option like I've seen on Youtube. It gives me a different menu with UMTS at the top. I still haven't found the turn off the VZN LTE option. Any help at all would be appreciated. The dialing and text messaging work so it's a clean phone but for some reason the phone is blocking my damn internet. Thanks for the help.
When you installed the MetroPCS SIM, did you configure the APN to use their network?

Yes sir. I have done it all and nothing has helped. My only thought is finding that switch for the Verizon band or something else in the programming but I can't get to that damn menu. And the *#276.. number is not working on the phone anymore either.
So for those interested that may have Metro and are having the same problem I finally just updated the phone with the stock 4.4 firmware (clean wipe and all that) with Odin and it now works and the LTE no longer shuts off. After hours and hours of agony I finally did it. I tried rooting and everything on 4.3 and I don't care that I lost root - I'm just glad it works now. I do appreciate for what it's worth all the information on here and best wishes to you guys for all the future modding, unlocking the bootloader and all of that. See you around.
Hey guys, I have a few questions that I need to get resolved which MAY help in getting LTE Working solid on Verizon One maxes for those who Have T-Mobile, but I would like to confirm that T-Mobile LTE does work on the Verizon one Max. You don't need to flash ANY special Radios. You can even use Verizon's Latest Radios and it works. All that needs to be done is use *#*#4636*#*# to change the preferred network type to GSM/WCMDA/LTE and boom, it works. The Problem I am having is that you have to switch to GSM Only first, just to get it to Work on T-Mobile before you switch to GSM/WCDMA/LTE. Another problem is that when you reboot once or Twice, my radio keeps on going crazy Rapidly switching from No Service to T-Mobile and Back. I go back into *#*#4636*#*# and I see that it changed to EvDO+CMDA/LTE Mode. I would have to go back and switch to GSM only to fix the problem then back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE Mode to connect to the network again. And yes I have the fast.T-Mobile.com APN Already inputted. This is with both Verizon and Sprint Sense 5 or 6 Roms. So we know LTE works on T-Mobile with the Verizon HTC One Max, But it won't stick. However, I decided to Flash a Cyanongen 11 Rom to the One Max, I am able to go System > Mobile Networks > Preferred Network Type and switch it to GSM/WCDMA/LTE, Reboot, then go into dialer and enter *#*#4636#*#* and Switch to LTE/GSM auto (PRL) and it works flawlessly. No matter how many times I restart, I still instantly connect to T-Mobile's LTE Network. Texting and MMS works with no issue. So what I think the issue is that On Sense roms there is only 6 Different Preffered Network types to choose from but on the Cyanongen 11 Rom, there are over 15. Also, On Sense ROMS there is only a GSM/WCDMA/LTE type with no Auto and I think that's the issue. There is no LTE/GSM auto (PRL) Selection in Sense roms. Because when I choose GSM (auto) on Sense, I can connect to HSPA, 3G, and EDGE with no issues. So I am asking for some help in How can we get more Preferred network type selections under *#*#4636*#*#. Or is there some scripts we can change with the current ones that resemble a LTE/GSM auto (PRL) Selection. But I think that is the culprit in Getting LTE fully working.
And just to Confirm that LTE is working on HTC One Max Verizon Version.
Even when I put my phone in wcdma/gsm/lte my service stays outputting no signal. Even when I reboot it stays like that until I change the network mode.
I wish t mobile released a one max so we could get WiFi calling

I have come to use xposed module Intelli3G to auto select the network. It has to be set to you liking of network chose.
I'm trying to do this too. But the roms I have tried so far won't let me get into *#*#4636#*#*. What Rom did you use to get into it?

This does seem to fix one of the Issues, but I am getting Signal Dropouts on LTE when going from Tower to Tower and have to turn on and off Airplane Mode to get it working agian. Do you ever experience this issue?
I don't have to use airplane mode to regain a signal. In my area T-Mobile has spotty signal strength. That is one reason I use LTE but only when signal is fair to good and for long video streaming. Hspa+ for me is better on battery and suffice for Tapatalk, email, mms, market downloads, apk even short videos, etc. I stream more on the weekend because it football season.

I use to Have a Sprint One Max with it Unlocked as well and I only got HSPA+ Speeds with it. I never Went about getting LTE to work because I though it didn't have the Compatible Radio inside of it. I am hearing that the Sprint Version has the Same LTE bands as the Verizon Network Uses. But I would try to go into you *#*#4636#*#* (or Download Network from the Play Store) And try switching your preferred network to GSM/WCDMA/LTE and see if it works. Make sure, that your APN Is set to the Fast.t-mobile.com One also. That is all I did to get it to work on the Verizon Version.

Same here. Also, I tried switching bands and it did seem to fix the Problem, However it prevents me to Call out or Receive Calls because usually when making or Receiving a Call, the LTE Band goes back to 3G/H/H+ because T-Mobile hasn't Activated VoLTE yet. But it is good to know that LTE does work but it's not really Stable and Global Phone Friendly. The Problems really happen when Driving around or Going from Tower to Tower. Signal goes from perfect to NULL and just stays at 1 or 0 Bars no matter where you go. And you either have to Restart the Phone, Turn the Radio off then on, or Just simply Turn on and Off Airplane Mode to fix it. So I am just using WCMDA or GSM Only for the time being and I don't really want to go to a AOKP CM11 Rom because most of the Features I use aren't there. And just to Clarify, Switching/Flashing Radios and basebands does NOT Fix the problem. I have tried All sorts of Radios, even from T-Mobile HTC One Phones and just doesn't work.
I had used the steps in the link pasted under this to get my LTE working perfectly on the stock Verizon ROM with Sense 5.5 but after upgrading to Sense 6 these changes have caused some issues. The changes worked fine for a day but then the second day mobile data stopped and nothing I did could bring it back. I ended up having to flash a stock rom RUU to get mobile data to come back. I'm not sure why the data stopped on the second day, I may have been from other changes I made to dpi or adding on screen buttons or re-locking the bootloader to use the fingerprint scanner. For now I'm just using gloabal mode which gets me good 3G till I re-gain my courage to try modifying the settings to get the LTE again.

Good day all,
I'm encountering an issue: a fairly new phone of mine (Umidigi F1) loses its ability to get data from Verizon Wireless when I install Treble Generic System Images (AOSP-based, typically derived from phhusson's et al work). For clarification, despite being from a small Chinese company, the phone normally fully supports VZW (4G LTE data, calls, and text). While on those GSIs, I get a signal and am able to call people with it, but there is no data from the connection.
The APN settings appear to match the ones that work normally (stock F1 and a Pixel 2), so despite not being able to edit or add a new one, I am led to believe this isn't the culprit. Next, I looked at build.prop; the model, device, and brand info changed from the default states and I believe that VZW may be strict enough not to allow the altered info on their network. Attempting to modify build.prop causes a boot loop, though.
Anybody have any thoughts on what I can do? One of the comments at the top of the build.prop file indicates that it is autogenerated by buildinfo.sh. Should I attempt to modify that instead? Or maybe something else?

many MTK soc devices on pis gsi have this issue with sim based data connection. Some even have issue with sms / text.
I did at one point have data working on one of my mtk phones, only when switched connection typs to 3G. But that was not acceptable because way too slow speeds. A solution may come. but i do not know when.
umidigi-f1-tag
I just got a umidigi f1 and am trying to get it working on Verizon. I have talk ant text(sms and mms) working through sim1. However, like you I can't get data to work.
The odd thing is that I can't seem edit the apn settings. That section is missing from my mobile networks section. I am on a stock rom, not rooted.
The sim I was using is a page plus sim. It gets service though Verizon via Tracphone.
I think my issue is that my apn is not set correctly.
Success!
Go to the phone dialer and dial
*#*#4636#*#*
Go to phone information and change your preferred network type to lte only
The default is lte/umts which probably just good for GSM phones
You should see a lte connect. Hit the ping test to verify if you can ping Google.com
Edited to say, the phone is kind of flaky with regards to the APN setting so ymmv. It was working for me for a while then stopped...
Edited 2: Okay I figured it out. To reveal the Apn menu on Verizon, change the preferred network to LTE only as above, then unselect 4g in the Mobile Network section for the Verizon Sim. Restart the phone. Next time you go to the Verizon section, there should be an Apn setting item. Create the proper Apn for Verizon because the default probably does not work. For me, I needed tracfone.vzwentp.
Here's the phone info screen
Here's the mobile network section for the Verizon Sim. Nonintuituve but had to disable 4g toggle but doesn't have any effect on speed. After a reboot, Apn section shows up
Hellom did you get it to work on Verizon? If so what are the full steps?
Make sure your Verizon sim card is in slot 1. Sadly, it seems like Verizon works best in that slot so not able to use a micro SD card.
On 2 other phones running on Red Pocket Verizon, everything just worked. No need to do anything extra.
Also disable wifi calling.
On my other phone running on tracfone/page plus, I had to do the extra steps in the previous posts above.
