can't connect to 3g - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

hey guys i'm having an issue where i can't connect to 3G (GSM)
when i change it to GSM i get bars (no icon & no data) and my phone says just says searching where it should show the carrier, i've tried 2 different sims (wind & bell) both do the same thing
bell sim works on LTE and 4G (WCDMA) but not 3G (GSM)
wind sim works on 4G (WCDMA) and nothing else
anyone have any ideas why 3G (GSM) isn't working for me?

How the 3 network sim work on unclocked XDA

I run the unlock exe file on my XDA. Now it accepts Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile but not the 3 network. Any idea why ?
Erm because "3" is literally as it sounds. 3rd Generation. Orange/T-mobile etc etc are all 2G. Yes they have all released/releasing 3G networks/phones, but your device is a 2G phone. It won't support 3G SIM cards. Sorry.
well the early 3g sims did work in 2g phones of cause not on the 3g network then it would just roam 2g networks like 3g phones does when they cant get a 3g signal
but 3gblocked it in later models as far as i heard

[Q] help, cannot get at&t 3g internet and 4g also

Hi, I got a samsung HD LTE phone from korea.
I am using at&t in new york area. The phone and mms works well. However, there seems some issue in internet connection.
The download speed is super slow, around 15kbs. I got full bars in my phone. And it shows "G" signal(Not "E"). I have tried the different apn settings, but neither help this. Any one have same experience?
I check the spec. It's not within at&t 4g lte band. But it is under at&t 3g bands. Any idea?

[Q] D802 Not connecting network

My new LG G2 D802 seems to only want to conect to GSM, if I have it set to any other setting like GSM/Wcda auto, or LTE etc it wont even connect to GSM let alone the other networks? To be clear i can use the phone set to GSM, but not when set to the other settings, just keeps searching for network
I am in New Zealand on Vodafone network which is
2G - 900/ 1800 MHz GSM, GPRS
3G - 900/ 2100 MHz UMTS, HSPA, HSPA+, DC-HSPA+
4G - 1800 MHz LTE
so I think the phone should connect shouldnt it? I am in 3G/WCDA coverage (not in 4g currently to try)
Any ideas?
the phone is stock rom, rooted, Xposed etc, Kitkat 4.4.2
Thanks
Edit, I just clicked network operators and searched and it came up with Vodafone Gsm which i have selected. So i take it my phone cant see a 3g network?
I think I have solved it. I went into the hidden menu and changed the modem settings to my carriers frequency instead of auto. So fingers crossed. II havedone a reboot and it is still working too.
So I had 3g for the day or so and then its gone again, I tried my wifes sim card which is on a different network and seemed to work, so i will get a new sim card for myself and hopefully be ok. my current sim card works ok in her phone, it just struggles to find 3g in mine for some reason.
Got a new sim card now but it still struggle to find 3g maybe because I'm not in a main town centre but I should still have service here as I am in there coverage area and my wife gets coverage on her phone
Tried updating to lollipop but problemremains. It is disconnecting maybe because of poor 3g reception but then struggles to connect to 2g again. Only solution to have working phone is ro have it set on gsm only all the time. Not good

EDGE only, no HSPA with FreedomPop GSM SIM

XT907 on stock KitKat ROM (rooted).
I get EDGE only, no HSPA with FreedomPop GSM SIM. I've configured APN as described on their site.

I have a good strong signal. I assume it connects to AT&T towers. Even if it were connecting to T-Mobile, I'm in a refarmed area, so I'd think HSPA should work.
Any ideas?
UPDATE: Problem solved. Needed to force UMTS in settings because it defaults to GSM.
