Make sure you go here:

And make sure that the Network Mode is: LTE/WCDMA/GSM

Secondly, contact your network operator to enable 4G on your SIM.
Your phone will automatically connect to 4G networks when 4G singal is available even if its really low (1bar)
I had to contact my network operator in order to access 4G Networks

same problem

I don't have a LTE contract. the thing is previously I got a Samsung Galaxy S 3 4G/LTE version without 4G/LTE contract that I bought from Maldives retail shop. In that phone I can see LTE/WCDMA/GSM in Network Mode setting.

i have the same problem ... i bought my phone week ago and i didn't find the LTE mode .. only 3g/2g ... i checked the phone specs with antutu and the specs is ok plus i gave the S/N to someone to check it and he found its original ... i don't know what is the problem ... one of my friends got the galaxy S4 LTE and we can find LTE mode and when we check on it the phone showing the 4g sign while we dont have LTE service here in egypt but still the phone showing the option to select it

plus when i checked with antutu it showing that the phone is supporting 1080P not 2160p as samsung mentioned in the phone specs ... plus it not supporting temp sensor ( THATS WHAT ANTUTU SHOWED IN THE REPORT )

so is there any solution for that or i bought a defective piece ???

thanks

Do you have Snapdragon or Exynos CPU? Exynos does not support LTE nor 2160p, only Qualcom Snapdragon does. Note3 has battery temp sensors and another temp sensor, but Antutu report is wrong, it also shows on mine that I don't have temp sensor but I do and it's working well.

Sorry if this is obvious but did you make sure your phone is set for rear cam? It won't show 2180p if front camera is set.

if you dont have contract , it will not show.
it could also be that samsung must update the lte file first

simply flash with Odin the latest english rom of 4.4.2 that you will find on sammobile (from july 2014). Then restart your device and it is ok. Not only 4g available in menu, but download booster, knox 2.0 and kids menu too :) worked perfectly at me (and no data or app loss in the process as it simply updates your rom)
