So your SAMSUNG GALAXY S5 does not work with 4G LTE? Here's how to fix.

So you finally decided to purchase Samsung Galaxy S5 and upgrade your existing 3G connection to a blasting fast 4G only to find out that for some odd reason LTE 4G is not coming up on your phone? You've called your provider several times, their technical staff looked at your phone, turned it off and on, advised to reset to default, but nothing worked. You are puzzled: Is it a provider issue? Should I switch to another provider? Is it some sort of compatibility issue with SIM card and Mobile-ID? What is it? 

    These steps should help to clear the fog:

Verify firmware on your phone.

Apparently, phones that are purchased in a provider-neutral place, like an Internet store may have a bit of a different firmware than the one distributed by your MOBILE phone network provider. My experience is such, that provider-supplied phones are overpriced by a large margin. On the other hand, provider keeps track of the firmware on the phones they sell and make sure that they are compatible with options they offer. If that is the situation you are in, no worries, retrieve the firmware installed on your phone. Dial *#1234# on your phone

Visit www.sammobile.com, compare the latest available firmware for your phone, download it!

Once you click on the firmware download link, you will see instructions for using Odin software that will perform the firmware update. WARNING: Backup your phone prior to continuing with this step.
