How do I turn on 4G?

[Edible Walrus]

Or even 3G or LTE?
When I go to connections > More Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Mode the only options are WCDMA/GSM (auto connect), WCDMA only and GSM only. My carrier offers 3G, but I see no option for 3G, it always defaults to HSPA+

EDIT: My carrier has told me that HSPA+ receives 3G signals. Would that then mean they're the same thing?

Yes H+ on gsm is the same thing as 3g. As 3g gsm is not the same as 3g CDMA.

WCDMA is 3G. HSPA is a technology that enhances WCDMA and offers improved speeds (AT&T and T-Mobile advertise this as "4G", even though it really isn't).
Which version of the phone do you have? If it's the international version, it doesn't have LTE.

I9505 for the UK. My last phone was an old Nokia 6070 because my Tocco Lite's screen became inaccurate so I'm way behind on phones. Only just caught up lol
