What do you mean shit? Details please.

US 4G LTE operates on a seperate band to the rest of the world.

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 International 4G LTE phone unlocked before my last trip to the USA thinking I'd use ATT or SmartTalk (Same Network)

Could only get 3G coverage and found international standards do not apply to US 4G Phone network transmission bands.

They run differently paired frequencies.

Sorry but he's 100% correct unless you purchased US specific models you got yourself some expensive 3G phones.

For USA 4G LTE you need Band 4 1700/2100.

The Band 4 hardware is missing from the phones so you can't just do a rom upgrade to fix it.

If you check the models specs and see Band 4 1700/200 you're in luck.
