Fix mobile data connectivity problems on Samsung Galaxy S5 – Updated

I was searching on Samsung Galaxy s5 and found out that many people are facing mobile data connectivity issues, like some are saying that they can’t connect to mobile data and some are saying they are getting H – H+ not 3G or 4G. This is a kind of serious problem, if you are getting H+ instead of 3G that means you are not getting full 3G or 4G coverage. Well, no need to worry I have found perfect solutions that will help you to get rid of not connecting to 3G or 4G on Samsung Galaxy S5.

I was happy to find this article b/c I am having trouble with my new Galaxy S5 (model: sm-g900F): so far it's only connecting via H+ and the people in the AT&T store don't seem to have any suggestions for what do about this. I started to follow your directions, but when I went into network connections I couldn't find a LTE/WCDMA/GSM option, only WCDMA/GSM. I went into the list of possible network connections and I couldn't find LTE listed there either. The G900F should be the international/european model if I'm not mistaken. The phone is clearly unlocked b/c the phone etc. are working with the AT&T sim; just this one problem with the data connection... Thanks for any help others can provide!

  @metrotima:disqus you're right. G900F is the non LTE variant, it doesn't have LTE option. I believe that your phone is not carrier branded, but the SIM card you're using is from AT&T. Correct me if i'm wrong?

My phone has the h+ as well .... I'm using it through straight talk AT&T and the guy from straight talk had no advise for me on why the h+ is appearing ... my phone says LTE on the back ... so I don't understand why I can't get LTE ... will I ever get it?

I do not have the choices you mention under mobile networks on my Galaxy S5. There is no choice of "network mode." Instead, under Mobile Networks, I have "WCDMA/GSM (Auto", "WCDMA Only", & "GSM Only."
