Help How to get your 4g back. (without doing factory resets or phone trades)

I have removed them and restarted phone, I do not know how to freeze the apps, they were battery app and juice plotter, still no 4G


Ok. Now that is quite weird. You SHOULD be able get 4g. Make sure you have data enabled and keep the connection home (Metro PC's only). Also make you still have service or call metropcs to reset the signal. Also try updating the prl, if you have the latest don't worry, redo it again...

Let me know.

is there way you can upgrade your phone from 3g to 4g???


Why do you mean? Your esteem should be constant 4g. Are you talking about another phone.

it worked Thanks, now how about over clocking my Esteem.

in all root things sub forum you will find the guide on how to overclock. Look for plague kernel.

Do you have a thread there about plague kernel?

first of all you need to install CWR which gives you the option to perform backups/Recovery, lets you flash roms, mods, kernel, and many things. this is a very essential recovery for your phone. so follow the instruction and flash it to your phone. Please follow the instruction through-fully;

after that, you can do whatever you want with your phone. but since you want to flash Kernels to overclock the phone, take a look at this.;

ALSO, if you wish to to install Roms and stuff, you just follow the same procedures by flashing them through cwr. You can find Upcomming and new ROMs for esteem at "all things root" forum.(they are most likely sticked)

I see. Well then dial *228 and select option 5 which is to update to the latest preferred roaming list. You could also go ahead and activate it or go to metropcs store.

Ask them is I'd they are doing some maintenance !

Yeah, try that first (airplane mode toggle on and off) -- then this other method if the airplane mode doesn't work. For me, airplane mode toggle straightens out problems when I get the "gray bars" 4G.

Well you could update it with the LG software that you install on your PC. First make sure you have the drivers installed and then install the lg mobile updater on your PC found at lg

As i looked into various threads i See many people struggling with their 4G recently. So i'm here to show you a way to get it back..;

OK. This will work as same thing has happend to me. Dont panic !There is a way for you to get your 4g back.

This method is to fix and reset 4g in general , so it should work;

First of all, download an app called "any cut" free from market. Then after it downloads and installs, go home screen and create a shortcut >then select > activities > and then select the "any cut" app. After that it'll send you to the app and from there you have to press on "activities" option and Scroll down until you see "LTE configuration" (its mostly the first one that starts with LTE). Then as you select that it will have created a shortcut action on the home screen. You then go to home screen and look for the shortcut you have created, it'll be called *lte configuration*. Open it and then press on setting initialization. Now, it will reset your lte settings and the phone will reboot. After that you should be able to be running 4g nice and clean...

Hope it helps ...
For me there Is no lte configuration app I have lost my 4g and I live in a 4g zone due to that I live in Iowa and I have us cellular
