After activating my 6p on AT&T I noticed slow LTE speeds compared to my Nexus 5 (not just speed tests, actual browsing/usage). Contacted AT&T support to verify IMEI and SIM information and they did some sort of SIM refresh on their end. After that I was getting around 70-80mbps speed tests for a few days but now the speeds have dropped back down to 5-10mbs (if that).
I've tried switching to PHONE and PTA APN's and no difference is observed. I am not on an unlimited plan so no throttling should be taking place.
My friend who is also using a 6p on AT&T is seeing the exact same behavior and had the exact same results after contacting support (fast speeds after refresh but slows down after a few days).
Has anyone else been experiencing this issue with AT&T or any other carriers? I'm not sure if this is a radio firmware problem worth reporting to Google or something on AT&T's side.
I'm having this same problem, my s4 was at least double the LTE speed of my 6P, I've been searching for a fix but this thread is the only one I've found so far, I did see VZW post where you can dial a certain number and select bands, I'm hoping someone can share a fix life that for us on AT&T
same here ... very slow compared to all the other phones I have that are AT&T branded and much slower compared to Nexus 5 and OPO. Also every time I call somebody, phone drops down to "H" and then connects the call. No calls over LTE.
I'm having the same issue and lately I keep loosing my lte and seeing only the H for 4g

yeah but i was having issues before the update
I wonder if it's something with AT&T network and this phone. I'll have full bars (LTE) and no service quiet often. I live in south florida, so we generally have great reception for every carrier.
The issue started for me as soon as I upgraded. I tried the older radio as well. I went back to Chroma 6.0 and all is well. I did star the issue in the tracker.
Well I just got off with att and they reset my connection to the network and so far so good. Lte all around. I will watch the next few days and let you all know

I have actually gotten the same problem, after updating my 6p to 6.0.1, I have lost my LTE and just stayed at H.
I haven't done nothing other than updating, I really hope this gets fixed soon, the speeds arent that bad but I am used to having LTE all around
Well I called att this am at around 8am and tight now at 6pm its been solid. They made me shut off my phone and basically set up my phone network wise as a new phone and boom LTE everywhere
Happening again. I reset network settings and boom all is well for two days
I found a recent post on reddit where a user was having issues with the phone connecting/losing LTE. After troubleshooting with AT&T support they indicated the "APN type" setting was missing an entry and in the improper order.
Changing to the proper order fixed his and others LTE issues and so far it appears that it has fixed my speed issues as well.
The fix applies to both nextgenphone and phone APN's.
Default APN Type on 6p = default,mms,supl,fota,hipri
Correct APN Type from AT&T support = default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri
Hopefully this helps.

I have called at&t 4 times today and Google once. My phone is only displaying H not 4g. Will not connect to 4g no matter what I try. Messed with APN settings. Wondering if I have a defective phone. Wifo connection is not as strong as my other devices even right by the router. Any help or suggestions. At&T and Google had no help whatsoever.

Probably a hardware issue but I would do a full reset and try again, if that fails contact their support for RMA
That's what I was afraid of. Did the full factory reset and still same issue! I'm hold with Google right now with google. I know they don't do exchanges which is ridiculous! Been on hold for 15 mins. Will prob never buy another device from google after this mess. They are saying a replacement might not fix the issue because H might stand for 4g. I have told them this is not the case as the speeds are noticeably slower.

I'm on At&t no issue here with 4g LTE would say try another sim card crazy google saying that another phone might not fix the issue.
Do you mean "4g" or LTE because 4g will display as H on this phone?
When I went to AT&T they had to tweak my settings so my apn is set to ATT phone not ATT WAP and I get lte now. You might have to go into a store and have them tweak it for you. At first it shows H but it switches over to lte. I hope this helps you some.

Huh I was told by Google that H stood for 3g (HSPA). I do not get LTE at my house but full bars of 4g service. Also the speed feels like 3g about as fast as my rather sluggish wifi. Where 4g on my last phone was very fast. Talked to Google's advanced tech support and sent her a bug report of my device. She is supposed to get back to me.

Yes it's been extremely frustrating. Spent all of my day off and last night on the phone troubleshooting. Just curious what does your phone display when you have 3g/4g/4gLTE ? Will prob go back to at&t and try a diffrent nano sim just to rule out that possibility.

You really need to look at your APN and make sure it's ATT phone like Nexus4to6p said. Post a shot of your APN settings here.
For me, 3g=H and 4gLTE=LTE. Haven't been in a 4g/HSPA+ area yet. My APN is ATT Nextgenphone.

My 6p specifically says 3g, H and lte I was recently on the Moto x pure that had the same settings. Haven't seen the h+ logo in a long time.
it's probably just a provisioning issue if it's not APN related like others have stated.

H displayed for hspa+
I am sure you must have figured it out by now but just throwing it out there in case it helps.
If you simply took out your SIM card from old phone and put it in N6P (not that there is anything is wrong with that) take your phone and SIM card to AT&T ask them to add your phone (IMEI) and activate LTE on this IMEI. Unless something is wrong with your phone hardware wise, this should do it. Try it, you might get lucky and don't have to send your phone back.
I have the same issue and I've tried A few different APN's. Still on H no matter what APN I use. However, what could be wrong is that when I got my 6P I took my SIM card out of my Note 3, had an AT&T store cut it to Nano size so it would fit the 6P ( They were out of SIM cards that day) and went on my way. I later noticed that I only get H anywhere I go. Called AT&T and they said that the IMEI was updated on my account but the SIM card might be damaged from the store cutting it and to go get a new Nano SIM card. (Free at official AT&T stores) So I'm off to try that and I'll report back and see if that solves the issue. I'm rooted on PureNexus ROM and ElementalX Kernel as well.
Sounds like you are used to the way carrier phones display hspa as 4g and LTE as 4g LTE. This all started when the iPhone came out and on att and 3g was listed as 4g. And LTE as LTE. There is nothing wrong with your phone. Its being reported right by android. You are getting yourself worked up over just the way it's displayed. Let me ask you this, what phone are you coming from?

Well that would be cool if that's all it is! I'm coming from the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
I promise you that is all this is. I came from an ATT branded note 3 as well. Think about it, your old note never said 3g, because your 3g would show as 4G and when you had LTE it would say 4gLTE. You guys are getting the same exact connection as you used to. Its just the way its displayed to you.

Oh Ok. So if 4g is shown as H then what does 4G LTE show as? H+? Is there a way to change it with PureNexus Rom, ElementalX Kernel , or Exposed Modules to what I'm use to seeing? Old habits die hard.
this is going to be an AT&T specific collection thread for this carrier specific stuff like VVM and try to make wifi calling work, also users can ask any questions related to AT&T and I will try to answer them and hopefully other users can help to.
HTC lying about AT&T "compatibility"
U11 does not support VoLTE on AT&T
U11 does not support WiFi-Calling on AT&T
U11 does not support Video Call on AT&T
U11 does not support Integrated Visual Voicemail on messages app like it use to on HTC One M7, M8 & M9, you need the stand alone app which is crap...
the phone works for calls data LTE works MMS haven't test yet I don't use them....
Any comment from AT&T on any of this? We know HTC's saying it works.

Haha, AT&T never comments on these things.. and it won't work.. I have and unlocked GS8 and it don't work there either.. so no way in #[email protected] it will work on HTC..
Argh... This sucks. I'm in an area where coverage quality has dropped significantly, and I spend a lot of time in a building where almost no signal gets through from any provider. Wifi calling and texting has become a lot more important for me for that reason. I can get by without the extra features, but it's tough now what I've had them (currently using an S7 edge and Note 5).I guess that leaves me with no option but Samsung or LG (and all of the provider bloatware).

Don't activate the U11 on AT&T, once their computer "knows" you have an uncertified device you lose LTE data and are forced onto HSPA+!
Does anyone know an APN setting that will reactivate LTE?

Not a fair critisim for HTC. Even if the phone is capable like my non-AT&T S8, if the phone does not have the AT&T logo on it they will not allow these features. So complain about AT&T like I do.
I'm on at&t and I'm getting full LTE with zero issues.

See if you still have LTE during a call. The LTE icon should go away and if you go into about phone and then network, it'll most likely say HSPA. The problem is we're not getting services like VoLTE and wifi calling. In normal cases, HSPA speeds should be manageable considering the average phone call won't be very long and there's wifi nearly everywhere now. This is just bad for those in areas with poor reception. I've been doing ok with the whole issue since I never really noticed much of a difference with HD voice and I'm usually always somewhere with wifi.
My question is what did they do differently with the U11 than the 10. We never had any of these issues with the 10 being unlocked and not certified and all that bs

The importance for me & probably for many others on getting VoLTE is that I do technical support on my phone and trouble shooting while on a call takes to much time most of the time, that being said if I don't have the option to make phone calls on VoLTE means internet speeds while on a call is crap.... I really don't care about HD call clarity as far as I can here the other person, but the internet speed while on a call it is important to me the faster I can browse the faster I can provide technical support

Having a weird issue with my U11 on AT&T. I randomly lose all signal for no reason then takes a good 30 seconds for it to connect again.
It has happened at least a couple times a week mid phone call which is really obnoxious. I have seen it happen a few times when I am just browsing through my phone not on a call so I know its not just a calling issue, and I am sure it has happened multiple times when I am not looking at my phone at all and I don't notice.
Anyone else had this issue? An issue with AT&T and can be fixed by a firmware update? Or am I alone and need to RMA?
I know this thread is old, but can't we use the ATT RUU if you do what you need to do? We used to be able to go back and forth, at least that's what I did with both my M7 and M8. If you really need those features, that's what I would do.
Hey all,
I've seen a few posts regarding signal problems on TMO and Sprint, but not much on Verizon.
How is your guys' experience on VZW?
Works good for me on Verizon. I don't live in a big city, but I never lose service and I get over 100mbs dowload speeds in certain areas over LTE.
Been using mine on Verizon for a week now and no issues so far. It works everywhere any other device i have used works.
PH-1 reception in my house in mid-peninsula SF Bay Area is non-existent. Meanwhile the Galaxy 7, Galaxy 5, iPhone 5, and iPhone 7 all get decent enough signal here. No matter how good the phone otherwise, that's a deal killer.
Update: the phone continues to frustrate. Reception sucks even in the heart of towns here where other phones are just fine. Basically, the phone is useless except as a pretty iPod that takes cool 360 pictures. What a shame.
What's a good app to test download speeds?
I live in upstate NY. Literally in a gorge.i get the same or better service than my HTC 10 and the WiFi is way better. Don't need WiFi calling anymore.
I'm also in upstate NY. I get extremely fast speeds on wifi but lte seems pretty slow. What network settings are you all using??

Ref: Verizon
I'm getting LTE+ carrier aggregation in the Hickory, NC area. I've seen download speeds as high as 28 Mbps, although I've only been on Verizon 2 days now and I've only ran a few speed tests.
I recently ported my number to Verizon from T-Mobile because I was one of those who was experiencing connectivity issues with T-Mo. For me this phone works much better on Verizon than T-Mo. The phone I have now is a replacement. The first one constantly dropped cellular connections and with it I never saw LTE+ on T-Mo not even once. With the new replacement phone it showed up at times closer to Hickory but Verizon seems to have it everywhere around here.

That's good. We don't have those kind of speeds around here. 28-34 is normal for Verizon lte here.
My download speeds are only averaging 7 mbps on lte on Verizon in NY.
Which bands are you all using?? I left mine on the default and not sure if that'd make a difference.
I tried a few others with not much difference
This is my 3rd replacement. The first one didn't activate, the second overheated and now the 3rd seems to be working well. What I noticed on the 3rd one after reading the forums is the ceramic I'd alittle grippier than the last one which was smooth like glass. The 2nd one was smooth like glass. Before I did the replacement I also weighed it by hand because I read somewhere the new replacements have alittle more weight to it and it did. It was noticeable.
As far as signal. It seems to be on par with my m9. I was surprised I got 117mbps in my town which is in Shentel territory for Sprint but so far everything works great

Hit and Miss
Mine has been iffy since I "officially" added it to my Verizon account (I initially just pulled the SIM from my Pixel, and plopped it in my Essential - Worked like a champ, then I replaced my Pixel with my Essential with customer service, over the phone, and after reboot, it has been hit or miss (it was 3G from the time I hung up with Verizon, until I finished driving from Vegas to SLC). I messed with the carrier settings, and it was LTE+ for a day, then back to no signal the next morning.
Some days 3G is the best I can get, others LTE+ works fine, and some days, 1X or no signal. I've tried changing the settings from Global, to LTE, to LTE/WCDMA to what ever else looked okay). Today, it's been LTE+ most of the day.

My wifi works fine but I have very limited if any data signal and I can hardly send or receive text messages....
No one has a fix?
I called the sprint store and the guy said lots of these new S10 series phones have connectivity issues.
He said their tech has a fix for it but it may not be effective. He said Samsung needs to release an update to fix it.
I've got the S10+

I used to believe in this statement.. But when I walk around with a phone from Verizon (business), Srint (Personal) and AT&T hotspot service, I realized this is very not true.
There are locations where each carrier is stronger than others. At one of my job site, Verizon and AT&T fail to connect at all constant roaming and drop calls while Sprint skips along like no body cares.
Point, additionally, as each carrier acquire and deploy new bands, they need to be built out so the newer devices that support the bands can utlize it relieving the crowded older bands.
HOWEVER, this stupid phone, with SignalCheck Pro installed, I can see the bands I'm on but the signal stregnth is horrible, like at the moment, i'm connected to band 41 but LTE is at -117dBm, that's almost like not having signal at all. Likewise when I'm connected to band 25 and 26.
I tried disabling all those bands and force it onto the lower frequency with hardly any success.

and yes the program can be uninstalled, but it was only installed because I need to troubleshoot this issue, so it's not the program that's causing the problem. It's just telling me what band I'm on and the signal.

It's not just you. There are multiple threads on Sprint's forums with users complaining. My phone constantly roams, the WiFi calling keeps timing out on location and though it says LTE most of the time data doesn't work. Lucky for me I keep a spare phone so I'll be switching back to my iPhone X until they resolve this but there's been no official word on any of this getting resolved so I'm not expecting a solution any time soon. I'm wondering if it was the update I installed that caused this because it seemed like day 1 the phone was ok. Maybe a solution is to use Odin and flash back to the original stock.

Lucky for me I keep a spare phone so I'll be switching back to my iPhone X until they resolve this but there's been no official word on any of this getting resolved so I'm not expecting a solution any time soon. I'm wondering if it was the update I installed that caused this because it seemed like day 1 the phone was ok. Maybe a solution is to use Odin and flash back to the original stock.

They had me reset network settings which I did and it didn't help. They're sending me a replacement phone... Once I get it I'll prevent the Samsung update and see if that helps. Idk I really wanted to like this phone.

Strange I get signal better than I did on my note 9
Do you guys have a Sprint phone or the unlocked version from factory? I have the factory unlocked version, could it be it? The sprint guy @ the store said they sold a few s10's and no one has come back *****ing yet

I have the sprint version purchased from S
Spent an hour with samsung to no resolution. Took my verizon sim and dropped it on the S10 and the phone was getting good signal and speed then dropped for a couple minutes then back to good speeds. But as it's doing this, the phone started to get very warm. Sprint tech support doesn't know crap, just make me repeat their written process multiple times and the guys at the sprint stores are just salesman.
Since the verizon seems shows intermitten connections as well, i'm going to see if samsung can send me a replacement.
I've been having my S10+ on Verizon which I got in March, constantly drop from 4G to 3G, to noG. I didn't have this problem with my S8+. It appears many other people that having the same problem with not only the S10+ but other S10s on other carriers as well. Supposedly Samsung is supposed to release a software fix, but Sprint is also having people return their S10+s and get replacements because supposedly many of the first ones made have a hardware issue causing this. Anyone on Verizon or other carriers having similar issues and any update on the fix software or return and get new phone or otherwise?

Sounds like the same problem I had on TELUS in Canada. Took it to Samsung and they told me they had to replace motherboard. Fought with them like cats and dogs and they refused to give me a new phone. After waiting over a month for them to fix it, I immediately sold it and bought a Huawei P30 Pro. Will never have another Samsung Phone after that fiasco...
Not sure. Supposedly the first few batches but I'm not sure of date ranges. All I know is this has been the worst reception of any phone I've had and it happens alll over. Drop LTE and if i hit Airplane mode on and then turn it off it comes back. In fact I just had to do that right now to reply.

I had drop LTE signal issue, sometimes lte won't come back until reboot the phone but after do a reset network settings my phone works significantly better:good:
Am having the same or similar issues my internet is working all fine and out of nowhere i loose internet while still having full signal bar. I tried airplane mode and nothing seems to bring back the internet only thing that works for me is a reset am on AT&T
This seems to effect all s10 models regardless of the carrier.
I have a Verizon s10 plus that I pre ordered.
My LTE will have poor speed and randomly not work even though the status bar shows a signal in spots with good Verizon coverage. I also noticed that my bluetooth will randomly disconnect from devices and is very glitchy. Also the battery life has been not great. Only about 5 hours SOT with lot of apps disabled and all settings adjusted for maximum battery life.
Also I noticed that if you go into settings/connections/mobile networks and observe the signal strength it is always either -120dbm 99asu or "not available" which is not good.
I Noticed the LTE issues after an update(not sure which one it was)
I tried Updating to the latest ASD9 and there is no improvement.
I did all the basic troubleshooting through verizon(new sim, provisioned the device again). No improvement
I reset the phone with no improvement, I flashed the factory firmware ASD7 with odin.... no improvement.
Finally I brought the phone to a local Samsung experience store.
They tried to run some tests but it would not complete them. They were well aware of the problems with sprint phones but were surprised to see these issues on a Verizon phone. Eventually they agreed to replace the motherboard but had an issue flashing the serial number to the new firmware so now finally im going to get a new phone. Fingers crossed, this has been such a headach
