Hi,
I have a problem with my LG G3. I can't connect to mobile data, while network is connected to LTE. On LOS 14.1 everything is working fine. But on any stock ROM (v21a, v21c, v30b, v30d, v30n) phone is connected to LTE, but mobile data doesn't work. On CDMA only I have mobile data through 3G+ or H+. Reflashing through LG UP or flashtool doesn't help. Any suggestions? On custom ROMs LTE is working flawlessly, so it is clearly software issue.
Also enabling or disabling fast dormancy didn't help.
I found that the Access Point Name (APN) defined for my carrier on the phone didnt work. I had to manually define it - after which mobile data worked.
The simple answer is - some or all LTE bands are disabled. You have to enable it. To enable it:
1) go to play store and download "Network signal guru".
2) open the app with an active internet connection.
3)tap on the 3 dots on the top right corner.
4) tap on band locking.
5) tap on lte.
6) select all lte bands. Done.
No reboot required. If the network bars still don't show up, then reboot your phone.
Also make sure that you have the proper APN.
I have the same problem. I want to fix it without root.

All LG phones come with a hidden menu. To enable lte bands there. If it still doesn't work, try resetting network settings.
I bought an LG G3 about 6 months ago. Everything was great and everything was working until I rooted and changed ROMs to Fulmics ROM 5.6. I got back to stock (30b Global), because I didn't like it and I discovered that my LTE isn't working. Like I mean GSM/WCDMA provides me Internet but only (H and 3G), but when I switch to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto it doesn't even try to connect to the internet. I flashed cyanogen 13, and other AOSP roms and guess what?! I had LTE. So then I thought, that if i have it on custom roms, i need to have it on the stock one. So I flashed about 5 versions of the stock rom and still no luck.
I still have guarantee, but will they do something else then reflashing the stock?
I've also messed about in the Hidden Menu with those fixes that I found on XDA Forums, but still.. No luck at all.
I really want to have fast internet (My carrier supports LTE, and on the box from the phone it has "LTE" on it. Is it possible to be a hardware problem or software? It's soo slow that I can't even upload this.
Also is there any way of fixing this issue without Root?

On Fulmics there is also no LTE. LTE works only on AOSP/CM ROMs. What the hell?

I'm assuming that you have full network bars and you only cannot access the internet.
Accessing hidden menu comes in use ONLY when no network bars are appearing after changing from GSM/HSPA to LTE and it also requires root.
If you ONLY cannot access the internet but have full network bars after changing to LTE, you have to change the APN in settings. APNs are carried specific, so they differ from carrier to carrier. APNs act like a gateway between the phone and the internet. So, APNs are necessary in order to use the internet.
To get your APN, open Google and search "apn settings for [carrier name] 4g"

If you're already rooted, use the app 'network signal guru'. Download the app, open the app, tap on the 3 dots on the top right corner of the screen. Tap on band selection. Tap on lte. Enable all lte bands. Done.

First try claiming a replacement for your sim card. If it still doesn't work, ask for a replacement for ur phone itself.
With new SIM card the problem still exists.

Hi everyone,
So, I've got an interesting issue, and I realize that it is likely my fault. I was flashing various ROM's (CM10, CM9 etc) on the phone, and eventually when I put the stock ROM back on, I was only able to connect on "EDGE". I called Rogers and they said my account checked out. So, I did more ttroubleshooting, and in that I noticed that my IMEI was set to "0". So, I found a guide on here to re-add the IMEI using QPST and I was able to get back on 3G, but no 4G/LTE. After rebooting and some time passed, I am now on 4G, but no LTE and this is my issue. Before you say 4G is LTE, I tend to want to disagree. I used to get LTE, and I did see it pop up once since I fixed the phone, but the phone crashed and i wasn't able to test it with LTE running. Since then, I haven't seen it again. I also ran the "Phone Info" app, and if I set it to LTE only, I never get a data connection, even after rebooting, pulling battery etc.
Why I think 4G is not LTE is because when I ran speedtests before I broke my phone, I was getting 28MB down, and 8-10MB up. now, I'm lucky if I'm getting 1MB down and .2MB up. I have once gotten 4MB down, and .8MB up, but this is WELL below LTE speeds that I've had in the past.
I'm hoping someone might be able to help me get back to a 100% clean, stock ROM, modem, firmware etc. I have installed 2 different stock ROM's that I found for the Rogers i747m; one is ~700MB, the other is 1.2GB. Both have the same issue with 4G only. I've also flashed the stock Rogers modem, and still no luck.
Any help would be appreciated, but here are some specific questions if you can help.
Does anyone have screenshots of their stock "about" page, and the "status" page in the phone menu?
Does anyone have a bone stock "complete" firmware/ROM for the Rogers i747?
Is there anything I can do to fix this on my current ROM (stock)?
Thank you!
Here are the threads I've reviewed and followed to try and resolve the issue.

Well I know you are right about one thing when it says 4g it's not the same as LTE mine says LTE when it's on LTE. I'm on Telus though. I have seen others in Canada with this issue after restoring the IMEI, maybe you should check that thread to see if there are any solutions.

So, here's something a bit more interesting. Just before bed last night, I caught my phone on the LTE network. I tried loading a few pages/apps, but nothing was working. AFter about a minute, I lost all data connection and it popped back up about 10 seconds later back on 4G and was working again. Not sure if this helps anything, but I did grab a screenshot when it was on LTE.
Anyone?

Thanks for that thread, but does anyone know why the person is removing the SIM and going through all that trouble when rebooting does the exact same thing?
I have used the #2263 menu to set my phone into LTE only mode, and I get no data connection, nor any cell connection either. Switch it back to Automatic and it jumps right back on 4G.
It is faster to remove the sim and enter *#2263# code lol. Once the sim is removed, a no sim notification should appear. Better than waiting for you phone to reboot.
I will post my lte apn setting for you. Hopefully that will help.

It could also be the modem... I have a link to a stock rogers modem. Just flash in recovery and you may have LTE again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29517422&highlight=rogers#post29517422
Just fyi...
I also have a Rogers S3 and noticed that I am not getting the LTE icon on the notification bar after the first week. Now, I only get a 4G icon in GSM, HSDPA, LTE mode, and 3G/H+ in GSM, HSDPA mode.
However, with the 4G icon, I can still get speeds of 30Mbps down, 13 Mbps up, and under System Information, it shows LTE in Network Type.
My conclusion was that dont rely on the icon in the notification bar. Check the system information page to see the actual network type.
The only time I can get the LTE icon to actually show when I am connected to the LTE network instead of the 4G icon is through re-flashing the ROM. I have tried clearing the cache through recovery menu and it still wont work.
I know this doesnt solve your issue, but I hope this will help anyone that stumble across this problem.
Cheers
Thanks for posting all of that. My APN settings are the same, except the APN type. Mine is set to "Internet + MMS". If I change it, I am prompted with a menu to choose from and the settigns on yours are not in the list. Basically it has the folllwing list:
Internet + MMS + DUN
Internet + MMS
Internet + DUN
INternet
MMS
DUN
Also, flashing the Rogers Modem was probably one of the first things I did. I thought that would have been most likely.
My mobile Network type is UMTS:3 and I am definately not getting LTE speeds. I've heard people say that they only see the 4G icon, but get LTE speeds, but I'm only getting about 5down, and less than 1 up. I say that when I was on another ROM, it showed 4G, but seemed much quicker. Now I'm just hosed.
Out of curiosity, under the system settings, what do you have listed for ERI Version and IMEI SV?
Thanks!
Any other ideas?
Mine show ERI Version: Not Available
IMEI SV:01
Hope that help you.
Side note: I also note that for reasons of economy of battery when I switch to GSM network and I want to return to the lte network, it takes a long time to show me the lte icon....it's seem to stuck a few minutes on the edge even if gsm/hspa/lte(auto mode) is selected.

I'm pretty sure I did that...but you have to use your own QCN to generate the new "injected" QCN. As far as I know, it doesn't generate one out of nothing. Unfortunately, I didn't have a QCN generated prior to breaking it. Now the "original" QCN I have is "broken" so when I inject it, it's injecting into a broken QCN.
Something I was curious about doing was getting another Rogers S3 QCN (from a willing XDA member), modifying the IMEI and injecting that back into my phone. Not sure if that would break things, but it might be worth a shot. I'm pretty desperate at this point.
Anyone willing to send me their Rogers QCN, so I can replace the IMEI, and inject it into my phone? Worst case the phone blows up, best case I get LTE back, or just restore my current "broken" QCN.
Thanks!
So...I am now fairly convinced that it actually is a hardware issue and not a software issue. I noticed that it was on LTE again (4th time in a week). I was outside walking my dog. I checked tosee if it was working, and out of shock it was! I then downloaded and ran speedtest...got 28down, 9.5 up. BAM!
Now, here's the kicker. I am in a zone where I've always had 4 bars of LTE, except now I can only get it outside. I checked the signal and it was at 62dbm. Walk inside my house, and it jumps to 87+ dbm and drops LTE. I've always had full LTE signal in my house, work, everywhere, now nothing. Based on this, I am certain that the antenna/radio is pooched. Now I have to either get it repaired or get a refurb...ugh. Giving up my month and a half old phone for a refurb really blows...
I am with Telus, and having the exact same problem (minus the IMEI thing).
I flashed to CM10, and my LTE stopped working. Went back to stock, and it's still not working.
Setting phone to LTE only gets me no signal.
I've tested it in Toronto, Mississauga, Barrie (all LTE capable) and nothing is working.
Apparently, it's an issue with the phone. Search Google for Galaxy S3 radio issues (or swap radio for signal) and there is tones of threads. I have a refurb phone coming from Rogers this week, and I'm gonna leave it at stock. Really sucks...but LTE is the bomb.
I read on one thread that Samsung is supposed to push a code fix for the modem, but that's from a bunch of people speculating on the issue. How true it is...time will tell. I'll post back if/when I get LTE back on the new phone.
So, I just got the new phone and LTE is back working everywhere it used to with full signal and full speed.
I hAve this now too...but it's just the icon as I am getting LTE speeds.
Might call Rogers too...

Do you not have the LTE option at all, or does it just not stay selected?
If the latter then you can delete LTEConfig.apk from /system/app to fix.

Just pointing out that I have the identical issue when selecting network settings. To enable 4G (LTE) I had to enable it in the hidden settings menu and then it connected as it should. By default I dont have that pop up in my list - I am thinking possibly it is due to my carrier. They are only just enabling 4G in certain areas of my country (2 Degrees, New Zealand) so may by default don't enable that option? I thought my phone had a no LTE function even though LG G3 is promoted as having it...so I can connect to the LTE/4G but only by using the hidden menu code 3854#*855#

I need your help guys and gals. Just switched to T-Mobile and my wife is the only one having issues. I had the phone unlocked and it does work but intermittently. The data will stop working at random even with correct apn settings. Sometimes the 4g lte indicator will be there sometimes not. Restart sometimes fixes, searching available network helps as well.

This is not "S7 Active" specific issue. It is overall S7 issue on Android 7.0. You don't need to downgrade to 6.0.1. Just delete all the APNs (make it EMPTY!) -> Restart phone -> Add APN -> Restart. Problem solved.

If you get poor LTE coverage on T-mobile, you should switch to 4G instead. That way, you'll get better reception + you'll save little bit of battery life.
Dial *#*#4636#*#* on your phone dialer -> 'Device Information' -> 'Set Preferred Network Type:' -> Select 'WCDMA preferred' or 'Global auto (PRL)'
I used to get 1 bar on LTE, now I'm getting full coverage on UMTS. I'm on MINT SIM (they are T-mobile MVNO).
I have been trying to figure this out since I got this phone in late 2017. How do I get the wifi calling to work on vzw with my unlocked 2xl? Reading on the internet seems to indicate that there is some software missing for this feature to work with vzw. This 2xl may have wifi calling on T-Mobile for example, but not vzw because it isn't "carrier branded" for vzw. I'm assuming that's some piece of software.
Does anyone know what this is and is it a shareable file that someone could provide and explain where I need to put it in my phone via solid explorer to get the wifi calling working on this phone? I was so excited for that feature when I upgraded from my s4, and have never had it yet. It's one downfall for the unlocked phone.
Anyone? Do I just need to flash a Verizon radio image or something like that?
I have also been trying to do this as well, in that menu, it is not provisioned, does that mean my carrier needs to do something?

After setting up android 10, I went to settings>Network & internet > Mobile Network > Advanced, and tapped wifi calling, turned the toggle on and a screen popped up "activate wifi calling;" it required me to enter the emergency location information address.. I pressed save, and wifi calling was activated.
Are you on Verizon with an unlocked pixel 2XL I take it? Were you too unable to get Wi-Fi calling working on Verizon before the Android 10 update?
Is there anyone out there that has information on this? How is vzw locking out bring your own devices from their WiFi calling and several other services? What identifier on the phone are they using and how can it be tricked with root? Are there any Xposed modules that could make this work?

I have my pixel 2xl from google and it's working without issue.
Go to settings, network and internet tap on mobile network and scroll down to advanced and it's at the bottom (above apn settings). That's all I had to do. Nothing special even though I'm rooted it still had nothing to do with root.
Let me know if this helped

Yes, see my post down below
I have been reading and reading and reading on this. I can't find a way to make these carrier services work. What can I do? Here is what I see when I dial *#*#4636#*#* in my dialer.
The options are turned out turned on but greyed out for Wi-Fi calling, video calling, and UT interface. It tells me my IMS registered and voice over LTE is available. Do I need to change any settings in this section of my phone app? Do I have to change my preferred network type to something other than LTE / CDMA automatic, or change my radio band? What about the SIP server?
No one knows of a work around?

This has happen to me a couple times when I was using an essential phone and tried to get WiFi calling to work on it. Once I went back to my unlocked pixel 2xl I had to call the help line and get my "video calling" turned back on. Which in turn re activated my WiFi calling. Just have them check i bet something got turned off on their end.
Hi
I cannot make/receive any calls on my phone.
Phone shows good 4G connection. When I run "Signal Strenght" application it shows -96dBm
I can use data with no problem -> internet works fine
But when I try to make a call it just drops without connecting to other side
When somebody tries to call me there is busy signal.
Is this a problem with my phone or my provider?
Thank you
Hi, you have a last version?..

I'm not really sure what should I reconfirm in there
it is working now. magic :silly:
I have update my phone today to latest security update, I believe it is March update
And my phone is not working again. I can access data (4G), but I cannot make/receive any calls
Can you please advice what might be wrong? and how can I correct it?
have you tried doing factory reset?
no I have not tried it. I just found out today.
Anyway, that should not be a first option right?
any help please?
You can use 4G for calling if your provider support voLTE, so make sure your provider support this.
If not you must adjust network network selection.
Try dial *#*#4636#*#* >> phone information and select your network as LTE/WCDMA or LTE/UMTS (make improvisation on this, combine with the knowledge from your provider). So your provider will flexibly choose the network. It also depends on your signal strength. If you have strong 4G signal it'll switch to 3G when on call and switch to 4G automatically when call dropped and back to internet connectivity.

The issue is that I'm using the phone with the same provider for couple of years now. I had this issue before and it was solved by itself in a day or two.
Right now, the issue started after March security update.
So I know that mu phone works with my provider's network. It just, I do not know what happened in that update and how to correct it.
I went to settings and choose preferred network as 3G. and suddenly I can make a call. miracle.
So I went back and changed it back to 4G. and it still works.

Yeah maybe some tiny bugs affect the "automatic switch" between 3G/4G when oncall/internet in this update. Try the *#*#4636#*#* method above.
