Dear all
my G3 was limitted to HSPA connection and yet the specs say it is 4G enabled. i downloaded 4G switcher and used LTE/GSM/CDMA config on the app and immediately 4G became activated. if anyone else has a fix please let me know.

Well, try going to the settings>Tethering and Networks>Mobile Networks> Tap over Network Mode> Select GSM/WCDMA/LTE (Auto). Now try checking it should be getting 4G network. :)

PS: The Application you have downloaded is doing the exactly same thing. (lightbulb)

I have the same problem on LG G3 Cat.6 (F460S). The only choices on "Network mode" are "LTE preferred" (and LTE works fine on AT&T network in US) and "3G only". Would like to use a "4G" mode when LTE is not available, but that never works. Question to Russell: which "4G switcher" app exactly did you use? I tried several similar apps from Google Play store, and none works for me. Also just posted a similar question on XDA Developers network, will see if we can get more answers from there:

I used a 4G switcher with a red button icon. using the drop down network mode I chose lte/gsm/Assam mode. Then the phone searches and activates 4G sign. my phone does this.

Thank you, Russell. It is confusing. My old Note 3 (AT&T model) was showing either "4G" with small LTE letters underneath, or 4G only. Now the LG G3 shows either LTE or 3G, and the 3G symbol is at the same places where Note 3 was showing 4G only. Very confusing...

I can imagine. 4G is LTE. so far as it's labelled here in the UK. usually when is 3G it shows also H. this is HSPDA. a 3.5G type connection.
