How to fix LTE not working issue on OnePlus One with Cyanogen OS 12.1 update

All major software releases bring a few post-release issues and the Cyanogen OS 12.1 is no exception. The latest one that has let the OnePlus One owners down is the LTE problem. Otherwise, the 12.1 update with build version YOG4PAS1NO is better than the COS12, and is quite fast and fluid.

The responsiveness of the apps have improved, observes OnePlus forum member, HR_778, who claims to have tested the new release. The member has also posted a workaround for non-functional LTE connectivity. The method is as easy as doing a few settings customisations. Perform the following if you have an annoying LTE problem.

Step-1: Go to Settings>> Mobile Network>> Access point name>> Restore defaults. The list should have several options for APNs, select the correct APN. Now go to Settings>> Mobile Networks>> Network operators, then click Choose automatically. Turn Aeroplane Mode on and off again. Ensure that you are connected to Wi-Fi

Step-2: Restart your phone

Step-3: Go to Phone and dial *#*#4636#*#* and choose Phone information. Set the Preferred Network Type to LTE/GSM auto (PRL). Turn off the radio and turn it on again. Go to the SMSC and click Refresh>> Update.
