Gidday all,

Due to a rather unfortunate incident my old Note 2 recently bite to dust and the lovely insurance people gave me a Note 4 to make up for it. It's a 2 degrees Note 4 SM-N910U brand new from Noel Leeming's with 2 degrees firmware as stock and running Android 5.0.1. 

The issue I'm having is that I can't connect to 2 Degrees 4G/LTE. I'm stuck on HSPA+ while my old Note 2 could get 4G in all the places I've tried (I'm currently sitting in the ChCh CBD within sight of a 2 Degrees tower which I usually get 4G from).

So far I've:

 

• Installed the most recent software update that automatically downloaded when I first set up the phone
• Synced it with Kies and checked for new firmware: shows using latest
• Checked and re-entered APN settings
• Turned off-on/flight mode/removed battery/presented it from a cliff face to all my adoring minions - with nil change
• Checked my CSC which shows: N910UNZC1BOC2 (which according to sammobile is one of the two latest firmware's [both released on same day - unsure on difference?])
• Tried my Sim in other phones (inc. its predecessor which still sort of functions) - all show and use 4G
• Checked Network Mode which shows: LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)
• Checked Data Roaming is enabled

Is this just a case of waiting for on OTA update from 2 degrees to activate 4G or am I missing something obvious? The phone is currently stock and I'd like to keep it that way this time (my previous phone was a Frankenstein of sorts in the end). Considering the phone is listed on 2 Degree's site as 4G enabled, supports every band under the sun and is running 2 Degree specific firmware I'm somewhat surprised it just doesn't 'work out of the box'. 

Please excuse me if I've missed something obvious, I'm nearing the end of Night Shifts...

Cheers
