    Hi, excuse me if my question was nonsense! After upgrading to os 10.2.2102 from 10.2.1925 I noticed that LTE was gone and now it's only shown 4G, in upper status bar! Someone else has experienced that?
    I'm in Europe and I have a LTE contract!
    Thanks

    "4G" is a general label for fourth generation cell data.
    "LTE" is a specific type of 4G.
    For example, I'm on Verizon with a Z30 on the LTE network. My phone shows "4glte" when I am in a full coverage area.
    So I show both 4G and LTE on my phone.

    So, when your phone shows 4G, it means you are on your carriers 4th generation service, which is LTE in your case.

    I know, but before upgrading, my phone shows LTE and now only 4G, in the same place as before! Does it mean a provider issue? Or blackberry disabled some features for European carriers?
    Thanks

    It may be it is just displaying 4G instead of LTE, and not anything to do with your provider or features. In other words, the phone is displaying what variable has been assigned to the LTE signal in the OS code, in your case that variable is "4G".
    Is the 10.2.2102 you installed for your device from your cell carrier or was it a leaked version from another carrier?


    For example, way back when I had my Blackberry Storm on Verizon, the Verizon name for 3G was EDVO. When my phone displayed "EDVO" it meant I was on their "3G" network. One leaked OS version changed the display so it read "3G" instead of EDVO. So for awhile, I wasn't showing EDVO on my phone, only 3G, but nothing had really changed, it was just what the OS was displaying.

    First of all thanks for your very clear and complete explanation! To be honest I upgrade with the Sim of another carrier!
    What do you think about that result made with speedtest.net? Is that good for a 4G or LTE connection? Or there is something wrong? Thanks

    So there aren't any problems with my carrier? I thought that 4G speed was faster
