If you have 4G it will say under band i think
And you do have 4G contract with your carrier

Yes. the SIM work my other phone in LTE network

I'm having the same problem with Three UK, no 4G. Although 4G worked on my Lumia 1020 with the same SIM a few days ago.
If I go into the hidden menu under LTE you can set it to use LTE and it connects to 4G brefiely then goes back to 3G and it never shows GSM/ WCDMA / LTE auto in the mobile networks menu, just GSm / WCDMA auto.
I noticed on the demo unit in a Three store that the phones software version was V10a-EUR-XX whereas mine is V10g-HKG-XX.

if you have root you can try deleting (or renaming) LTE Config.apk from /system/app

Is there anything that can be done without root? I've tried setting the LTE in the hidden services menu and it connects foe a few seconds and then goes back to HSDPA. If seeting to LTE only it stays on LTE but not sure how it will work if I leave 4G coverage? I've also enabled fast dormancy but that doesn't seem to help.

There was a discussion about this in the UK thread, some phones came with 4G deactivated (on the 800MHz band used by 3 and Vodafone) that had to be activated at every boot. Replacing it fixed the problem as its not supposed to happen. But since the phone is from Asia who knows. Im not sure if flashing the eur version of the rom would work?

fast dormancy is a network dependant setting that has nothing to do with the generation of signal you are receiving.
The only other option you have is to try and flash another firmware version.

LTE will work from the hidden menu, or download 4G switcher from the Play store which will take you to the menu also. Just change it to LTE/GSM/WCDMA and it will work on the 4G network (at least on 3 UK). LG UK support will not help as it came from HK. I still want to know if I can flash a Euro 32GB ROM to my phone to get it working natively.

make sure u have activate your LTE with your carrier,i you have done it,and still didnt have LTE, try the hidden menu,or try 4G switch frm playstore,rooting and deleting lteconfig from system/app would be your last option (i prefer this)

thank you, this fixed my problem!
my lte/3g/2g settings was everytime reset to 2g/3g modus when i got back to settings. i deleted lte config.apk and the .odex file, rebooted and BAM! it keeps on lte/3g/2g

Solved
I had the same issue (no LTE option in Networks configuration menu), until today: My phone installed firmware V10i-HKG-XX, and now I have the "GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto" option in Preferred Network Mode.

Do the following -
1. From the dailer, type in 3845#*855#
2. Select LTE Only
3. Modem Setting
4. RAT Selection
5. GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto
You should now receive 4G but everytime you reboot, you have to repeat this procedure

[Q] help!3G connectivity has gone from my phone

my phone can not connect to 3G networks in most of our city, while it used to work just fine in these same places. at first i thought there must be something wrong with the carrier's base stations. but today i tested my SIM card on another LU6200(Korean version of Nitro HD) and it works perfectly both on 3G and 2g networks on that phone. but when i put it back into my phone, it can only get 2G signal. if i set the Preferred Network Type to WCDMA ONLY, it got no signal with just a cross on the signal bar. i have to put it back into GSM ONLY mode to receive signal.if i go out, i can get partial 3G connectivity here and there, but not consistently. sometimes even if i have full 3G bar signals on the status bar, i can not make calls or connect to the internet.i've got this problem probably after i tried to forcibly go into the Phone Info menu.i got repetitive " the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly" promps , and i just ignored it and tried again. now ,2 options are missing from the menu, LTE/WCDMA/GSM and LTE Global.in place of them, it's UNKNOWN. i already tried flashing KDZ package of no avail. Does this mean a hardware malfucntion or software glitch?Please help!Thank you in advance

Did you get 3G while choosing WCDMA Only?
If Yes,means you have to do it manually everytime you reboot your device.
If No,means you don't have a 3G data plan.
If you reboot your device mean while it will again set to prefered WCDMA so everytime you need to do it manually. Just to remember if you're getting 3G even on prefered WCDMA then leave it as it is. I think it's an issue regarding weak carrier signal.

Its not the build prop. Its how HTC designed the DHD.
The DHD isnt quadband, You can check the specs at gsm arena.
Some countries have thier 3g on a different band, so if you buy a DHD that doesnt scan for 3g on your countries band, you face the same problem.
I have being trying to fix this problem but got stuck along the way. Its very good to see that people also have the same problem. Maybe the devs would try something.

Nope..
Before i can try anything i have to put the device in diag mode which i have being able to, but the problem now is the device isnt showing up properly in QPST(a program for communicating directly to the qualcomm chip).
It detects the open port on windows but its unable to find the phone in the port.
If the phone doesnt show up in the port, changes cannot be done.
So thats the update.
If you have any idea, you could share
WCDMA
goto mobile network under settings, then select network mode, change it to GSM/WCDMA auto if it doesnt work then change it to WCDMA only.
It'll do the trick.

Nope. They'll let you lock out LTE, but the mode options are as follows:
GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto
GSM/WCDMA Auto (no LTE)
WCDMA Only (No GSM or LTE)
GSM Only (No WCDMA or LTE)
I was happy to find this much, I came from AT&T, which doesn't let you do any of this. Given T-Mobile's incomplete LTE deployment, I can understand not putting in an LTE Only option, they're not going to be fully deployed until mid 2015.
Maybe once they're more deployed they'll add an LTE Only option.
LTE only would give you data only. You need hspa for voice. Until voice over LTE is regular, you won't see this option
Data is all I need. Was just curious. Maybe once CM hits the G3. Thanks for all the feedback.
Hi
Open the dialer and inter this numbers:
3845#*851#
Then choose:
LTE-Only > modem setting > RAT Selection > LTE Only
if u having other models like D855 - D856 - D858 or any LG device running android lollipop u can use this method

@al5zMri thanks a lot man!!! This works on d855 i have unlimited LTE data plan but... only LTE -_- so it was incredibly annoying to constantly check connection mode while downloading. Now i wont waste money anymore!!!
Hi. It worked well on my G3-855, to force LTE only. But once the phone is forced to LTE only , now how to go back to the menu to cancel the "LTE only" if I need to registrer on an GSM or a 3G network ? Now once it's on "LTE only" which works fine for LTE, I can't enter anymore the hidden menu, the phone dosen't "dial" any number as it can't find a network to dial on. LTE is considered as a not dialing mode - it's data only. Thanks.

LG G4 not showing LTE or 4g icon

I've got this issue where the icon of 4g and LTE not showing on my H818P (G4 dual sim) only got H, H+, 3G and E
I've doubled check the LTE bands and it's compatible here in Saudi Arabia
I tried to enter the code *#*#4636#*#* and open the phone information menu but I get "This Application does not work on this device"
I tried some apps from the market but with no luck .
does anyone got an idea or a fix for that, I really like the phone and I hate to return it since it's crucial feature to me
i got the same problem, im here in abu dhabi and i cant see the 4g icon or h+
I also do not get 4g LTE even though my model is supposed to support the band's of LTE my network uses. It's a shame but them again he speeds I get on HSPA+ are really not that bad. I think I will learn to live with it. Hopefully someone can come up with a way to enable more bands or unlock something that is blocking 4g. When I do connect to 4g LTE I can't send text messages so that's a no go.

Make sure you got the obvious set - network mode set to edge/wcdma/lte
Make sure provider data plan allows 4g, some plans/packages are restricted to 3g.

Hi All,
I updated my LG G4 yesterday and i have a similar issue. the difference is i cannot connect to the 4G network. After i enable mobile data, nothing happens and i dont see the 4G sign. How did you get past this, did you factory reset or is there another way?
I tried to enter the code *#*#4636#*#* and open the phone information menu but I get "This Application does not work on this device"
Ideas?

LG G4 H818N, can't get LTE working

Hi, I have a LG G4 H818N LTE model with dual sim running firmware v10c.
According to the mobile carrier, they support 900MHz and 2100MHz, yet I am unable to obtain 4G connection on my phone. I have enabled the option in the sim settings for "4G/3G/2G" on the SIM that I want to use for data and set that sim as the sim to use for data connection but it still only connects at H+.
Perhaps the carrier is using Cat 6 LTE. Is there a way to enable Cat 6 LTE on the H818N?
Is there a way that I can test LTE connectivity on the phone or are there perhaps any settings that I may have missed to force LTE connection?
I previously had an LG G3 D855 which connected to 4G without any issues.
Is there a file where I can manually edit the 4G bands for my phone?
Finally, slightly off topic. Can anyone explain to me what a KDZ file is?
Assistance would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
mine has a working LTE on both sim 1 and sim 2 but not simultaneously. i found out that the apn is alittle bit buggy. check your apn and set the primary.
Thanks, would you mind walking me through the steps that you followed please?

I'm having a similar issue with my 818N. I can't get 4G/LTE.
Has anyone worked out why or how to fix it?
The hidden menus don't allow me to select lte bands they all just say fail after I select them.
In the RAT menu I am unable to select LTE only, it also fails.
It's as if LTE is disabled?
I tried installing 818P software into the phone which worked fine however I still couldn't connect to 4G.
I give up
It turns out that my phone was faulty and I've returned it to HK for a full refund. DWI were good to deal with and were fast to refund me my money once they confirmed that it was DOA.
