Did you check to make sure what GSM frequencies the carrier uses (sorry not familiar with El Salvador)? This sounds very similar to people trying to use G2's on AT&T / iPhones on T-mobile. Not all GSM carriers use the same frequencies for their service. If voice is working, but 3G data is not, this is very likely the issue. For example, AT&T operates both 2g and 3g on 850/1900, whereas T-mobile operates 2g on 850/1900 and 3G on 1700/2100; hence why voice and Edge can work, but 3G cannot.
Poking around a little, the X10 mini world phone version has an 850/900/1800/1900 for edge and 1900/2100 frequency radio for 3G data connection, although there are AT&T versions with slightly different bands too, which you may have I'm not sure.
The G2 runs on T-mobile in the US and has a 850/900/1800/1900 for edge and 1700/2100 radio for 3G data.
All according to Wikipedia from what I can scrounge up right now.
BTW I feel proud that I did this research lol. Enlightening.

I think tigo is at 850, is there anything I can do at this point?

no, you cant add more mhz bands. You should have checked this out before you bought it.

If Tigo doesn't run 1700/2100 3g, there isn't anything you can do short of selling your G2 and buying a European Desire Z (same as G2) with the proper frequencies assuming you want the same type of phone. Shoulda checked this out lol just cuz it has a SIM slot doesn't mean it "just works" haha. sorry!

Hahah damn I'm screwed lol yeah I guess ill have to buy a european version I love this phone too much
Thanks a lot fot the help!

Sell it, buy the canadian bell Desire Z (A7275) and you'll be fine. Its your only option if you want to keep the same phone with 3g data.

Well the USA, Canada, and Euro ones all have different bands, depending on the carriers they are generally made for. The issue with the Euro ones can be that they don't come with English out of the box either

Hm? Well yes the UK ones are made for whatever bands the UK carriers run on.

Just how hard is it to have a G2 world phone? Can you add all possible bands?

I believe that the Canadian/European Desire Z is the world phone edition which carries band support for all GSM bands. It is the USA T-Mobile G2 that carries support for the GSM bands specifically for the US market. Correct me if I am wrong.

i think both are the same, but the korean version has removable battery and micro sd slot which are awesome. but with 3000mah battery on the D802, i never run out of juice before the end of the day though. and i believe the d802 has much better dev support in custom rom and tweaks.

Thanks. I still thinking to buy one. Removable battery n ext sd card is a must for me. Korean version included 2 batteries n desktop chargers thats a bonus. But what a point of that if the performance is lower than international version one. I guess need an answer from people who have international and korean version lg g2 to satisfy me.

Oh, and for the batteries, on heavy duty, i change it the evening. Its the big "plus" of the Korean version, with it 2 batteries and stand alone charger.
I takes me 10s max to change battery on it.
And the micro SD card is awesome, 64gb without a problem, accepts files bigger than 4gb.

Hi,
The Korean version is such a great device with its additional benefits sd slot and replaceable battery
I'm using the G2 F320L and was hoping to take its battery performance a step further.. is it possible to get a 3000mah battery for it as opposed to the 2610mah variant or would it be a different size/ not fit?
Thanksm

i was just wondering If i buy a case for the international version on ebay for my husbands korean version, will it fit?
Thank you

I love my f320s only thing missing is I can't get LTE in the US, do any of the F320 have LTE band support for the US or can I somehow flash the modem with d802 or d801 modem.

I just brought F320L from ebay, really awesome phone. Rooted it with cloudyg2 3.0 ROM.

Hey guys, any lg g2 f320 owners living in europe? I am living in Greece and I'm thinking of buying a f320 but im hesitating because I dont know if all 2g 3g and 4g bands of my carrier are supported by the phone. I beleive my carrier (GR COSMOTE) has 2100mhz for 3g and 1800mhz for 4g. Any help will be appreciated

I have used F320L in UK with O2 carrier for couple of months, never faced any problems. 3G connectivity works fine, but not sure about 4G network (never used).

Great News! Chinese version works on T-Mobile with LTE

This is a glorious day!!!!
Ok, so I was browsing Youtube for some reviews of the Ascend Mate 7 and I came across this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNVV20U5qtU (website here: http://www.androidheadlines.com/2014/09/huawei-ascend-mate-7-first-impressions.html)
The reviewer (Alexander Maxham) said that he had a Chinese version that was sent to him by Huawei. I asked in the comments whether he had tried any North American SIM cards, and these are the responses I got:
Me:
Thanks for the video. Quick question. I assume you're in North America somewhere, have you tested the Chinese version that you have on any of the North American Networks? There seems to be some confusion about whether there will be a US-specific version of the device or if the Chinese version will give HSPA+ or LTE in the US and Canada.
Alex:
Right now, I have a AT&T sim in there, and it's only HSPA+. But it should work completely on T-Mobile's LTE network. I don't have their SIM right now but should have one in a few days.
Me:
Okay great. If you could give us update when you get it and try it, i'm sure many people would appreciate it. This phone looks great btw. It's almost certainly going to be my next phone (coming from Note 3). I'll subscribe so I can see your full review when it's posted.
Alex:
It fully works on T-Mobile. About the same speeds as my T-Mobile branded LG G3 is getting. Kind of weird usually foreign phones work completely on AT&T and only get EDGE and sometimes HSPA+ on T-Mobile. But it's full on LTE this time around, which is great. 
I see no reason to doubt him. And this makes me very happy. Full LTE on T-Mobile!
Wooohoooooo!!!!!!!

Yes thats right. He got LTE on T-mobile. He said it was way better speeds than he got with his G3

I find this incredibly ridiculous that news sources, websites, and even Huawei themselves doesn't know what networks the Mate 7 works on. I'll wait for 2 or 3 more people to confirm this works on T-Mobile before buying it. I'd want the 32GB/3GB RAM version, will that work with TMo LTE?

Good news if it works with T Mobile

I will be going to Taipei and Thailand in November so maybe I can buy the Mate 7 there. My big worry is whether there would be various models or variations in hardware configurations. I still find it strange that it seems hard to determine if a phone works with a specific carrier until it gets used on that carrier. If the phone says it works on Bands 2 and 4 should it not definitely work on T Mobile's LTE network? I sometimes wonder if the cell phone companies purposely confuse the issue so you will not buy a different phone. I am not an iphone guy but I believe I read that the Sprint and US Cellular Iphones (and maybe Verizon?)
support virtually every cell phone band in the world, if true, that is what I would like to see in a phone. You never know when you might make a wrong turn and end up in Chad or Outer Mongolia!
Bill

Not sure what bands its connecting on... as Tmobile in USA looks like it has 700, 1700 and 1900... but none of those are the reported 1,3,7 LTE FDD bands that the the mate7 is supposed to have.... maybe it also has band 2?
EDIT: If this is true, then it all makes sense how the reviewer was getting full speeds on tmobile. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55468358&postcount=1 + http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55500623&postcount=3IF those bands are available while roaming, then it makes sense as band 2 would enable it. Also band 4.

Yes. From the article:
" This version of the Ascend Mate 7 supports LTE and HSPA+ on T-Mobile and AT&T so I am enjoying it on T-Mobile's LTE network."
He didn't list a specific version, but I'm sure he would have mentioned if it were a US specific version as opposed to the normal Chinese version. So far all of the reviews that I have seen where Huawei has sent out a device have been the Chinese version.

Wonder which Chinese version it is since I want to pick one up next month when I travel. Any info is greatly appreciated.

I don't know personally. Mayne you should go to the article and ask in the comments. They might be kind enough to let you know the specific model number.

I went ahead and asked which version he had working on t-mobile lte in the comments. He said...... "It shows model number MT7-L09. This one has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage"
He also mentioned with his pre paid ATT sim he was only getting HSPA+.

Interesting. It could be the APN with his att prepaid Sim. But at least it works for T-Mobile for sure.

This confirms what I posted in the other thread from the Youtube reviewer (Alex from AndroidHeadlines) who stated that he had gotten HSPA+ on AT&T, but LTE on T-Mobile.
When I Googled the model number (MT7-L09) it brought me to this page (http://consumer.huawei.com/en/mobile-phones/support/manuals/ascend-mate7.htm) which has a US/English support manual for the phone and specs that list bands 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20/28.

MT7-L09 doesn't appear to be on sale anywhere online? I would rather the 3 gig model anyway. Might just pony up and try it. Shows the band's I need supported now. Coming from the note 3 this is exactly what I hoped the note 4 to be.

Yeah me too. I am just worried about ordering from Aliexpress and having it take a month to get to me. They are notorious for taking forever to ship to the US.
I really wish Huawei would get their stuff together and get this device in people's hands. Just put it on your website and let people pre-order it at least.

Help - if I buy the LG V20 to use in the UK (unlocked) how do I update and 4G?

I posted this in the general section, but then I found this specific V20 area and hopefully you guys will be far more knowledgeable than I am.
I'm on an EE contract in England. the LG V20 is the phone I want to buy but it's not released here in the UK (ebay seems the only option and the closest).
It's got Nougat but it will eventually have updates. the LG V20 does not seem to be scheduled for release in the UK. How, if possible, can I update the phone's Android since my network does not stock that phone?
And it will work on 4G in the UK too?
Thank you for the help, I'm a novice Android user.

Cause you can update as and when available by the manufacturer if it's unlocked.

I would venture you can update manually with whatever lg uses to flash stock firmware or it will find an update over wifi.

I have an F800 Korean version using it on Vodafone. All 4G bands are supported. The only one missing is the 900MHz HSDPA band. Video calling works just fine. The downside is that you get the operator bloatware and is not easy to get rid of it.
P.S. Check the 4G(LTE) bands of your operator before buying. For example the Korean version you won't get 4G on O2.

I ordered mine too, so hopefully get it around the 7th/8th. I got the Taiwan version because of more 4G support in U.K. It will be used on EE and 3. In the past I have achieved speeds of 100mb with the Note, so would like to see how this would do as well. Such a shame we have to import... lg should be taking advantage of Samsung's catastrophic failure with the note 7. Oh by the way does anyone know if they share sim and sd card or the sd has its own dedicated slot?

Hi all. Bit late to this chat but I've just bought an LG V20 online and am a little worried as LG themselves are telling me that I won't be able to connect to the 4G network at all as the frequencies are different. However the frequencies available on the specifications of the phone DO match the frequencies used by EE for 4G in the UK; are the LG operatives confused? Do your V20s work okay on the UK's 4G ? Thanks in advance

I'm also in the UK and I've had my H990ds Taiwan variant for 4 days.
I'm on Tesco Mobile (which uses o2) and 4G LTE is working just fine.

LG V20 VS995 Verizon no 4G/LTE

Dear all,
I bought a LG V20 VS995 on ebay. Unfortunately I don't get LTE. I live in Germany and bought this VS995 from the USA with the verizon branding. I've already googled and looked on xda but couldn't solve it. My network in Germany - "o2" - uses three different LTE bands: 800mhz, 1800mhz and 2600mhz. All of them are supported by the LG V20 VS995.
I've also heard that the V20 has a weak LTE antenna. Could this be the reason?
Could you please suggest me something?
Thank you in advance

Hi,
thanks for your answer. To be honest I don't want any other phone. I bought the V20 because of the quad dac. I paid 130$ and this is a great price. V30/V40 are a lot more expensive and the new V50 costs about 1260$ in Germany.
3g works great with my V20, I get about 6mbit/s down and 1,5mbit/s up. It's enough for me. Don't want to pay more at the moment.
LTE would be nice to have, but it's not a must have.

Hi I also have a vs995 which I am using in Australia. To enable LTE you need to google your mobile providers APN settings then type it in your in Mobile networks > Access Point Names
For example I am with Telstra so I google Telstra 4g apn and then i wrote it in and it worked for me. Hope this helps you.
If you still get 3g after that then you can download an app that forces 4g only as since it will stay on 3g if 4g signal is weaker than 3g
