Lte on m919v 4.4.2

humonculi · May 5, 2014

OK i have tried to find the answer to this question i have a S4 M919V ( Videotron/Wind) on 4.4.2 (M919VVLUFNB5) And I'm currently with virgin mobile (Bell) i have evething set up to receive LTE on the phone. the sim card is LTE ready but i have no way of getting the phone to receive it.
I've tried to go into setting ( phone dial *#2263#) of that but nothing worked.
I don't mind rooting my phone but would love to get LTE without having to sell my phone and buying another one

have you tried the settings here?

Settings/More networks/mobile networks
Your Network mode should show LTE,WCDMA (auto connect)

if not, tap on the network mode and select the LTE/WCDMA (auto connect) option and back all the way out.

Turn on airplane mode for about 30 seconds and then turn it back off and see what your results are.

You need to be SURE that LTE reception is possible where you are trying this. After all, no matter how good your hearing is, you won't hear me talking if you're out of earshot, right? LOL

Good luck!

Yeah I've tried it and for some reason I don't have this option but your right about checking if the lte is available before doing anything

Do you have any S5 apps installed?
If using a build prop mod you can lose your LTE settings in "networks".

Thats strange, this issue has been encountered with rooted phones running stock/custom roms while running some mods.

You may have to do a factory reset, or stop by a TMOBILE store and let them check it out.

Does that phone even support LTE?

Were they on the same network as you?

I don't know to be honest.
I got a legit lte sim car from virgin mobile because they offer lte and i've read that the t-mobile phone (m919) supports bell 's LTE frequencies

Could be that it doesn't support LTE from your carrier.. I think it may be capable to support LTE but its disabled on that model.. I've seen people flash M919 modems and gotten LTE to work. Just make sure you do some research, and more research if you device to do this

I've been rooting my phone as if it was a normal t-mobile m919 but I tried searching for into to see it there was a way to simply make my V (m919V) disappear and solve all my problems but nothing yet I know you can but as far as warranty, brick and risks go I have not found much information regarding this issue and that why I started this post

I wanted to say thank you to everyone for your help and suggestions

humonculi · May 7, 2014

OK I've done some research and it seem that the m919v has the lte hardware to run the frequency 700
( http://www.morecellphone.com/compar...vs-samsung-galaxy-s4-lte-gt-i9505-64gb/340724)

And that virgin mobile (bell's network)
(bell is one of the biggest telecommunications companies in canada)

has this frequency on their network

(http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks)

humonculi · May 7, 2014

The only thing is that the lte frequency off 700 was lunched in Ontario last month and I'm in Montreal
But the fact that t-mobile only has 1700 and that virgin uses this here means that the phone isn't the problem and with this information, i've concluded that it a software issue
