Enable LTE on Nexus 6 with Lollipop My new Nexus 6 isn't giving me an LTE icon in my cell service - I get the same old H that was showing on my Nexus 4 before I upgraded.

I'd expect to see LTE here :


I talked to my carrier, who said that my data plan includes LTE, so I don't think that's a problem.

I've tried to set LTE as my preferred network, but it won't take. I go to:

Settings -&gt; Wireless/More -&gt; Cellular networks -&gt; Preferred network type

choose LTE (recommended)

But the Preferred network type remains on 3G after I make the change.

Is there some other setting I'm missing that will enable LTE? I've power cycled the phone several times and run through every fix I can imagine. I'm on Android 5.0.1 with AT&amp;T.
Chances are most likely that the SIM card you are using is not LTE enabled. You can check with the service provider on upgrading the SIM.

Once the SIM is upgraded, install Open Signal application in the phone and test for 4G signal coverage.
