[Q] Fido S4 on Wind (unlocking AWS band)

Hey, I searched for it but I couldn't find it. I am wondering what the process is for taking a locked fido S4 and enabling the 3G aws (1700) band on it.. I know it can be done, and people around me are charging 50+ dollars for it. Any body want to point me in the right direction?

[Q] Will the TMO version work on AT&T?

I just moved to a new state, where my current phone service BLOWS (Sprint).
I want the G2 but I want to try both TMO & ATT to figure out who's service is best for me.
From what I understand the TMO G2 is missing the 850 LTE band and I have no idea if I need it.
"AT&T version (D800) does not support WCDMA 1700 / T-Mobile version (D801) does not support LTE 850"

What I gather from this wiki I should be ok... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT&T_Mobility
So, If I get the LG G2 d801 and get it unlocked will I be able to hop networks without issue?

Tmobile d801 on ATT
Hey,
Kinda new on the forums in terms of posting but have been reading for a while.
I talked to an ATT rep today about using the unlocked tmobile d801 on att, here is his response:
"ok here is how it works, if the phone is LTE capable you can get the LTE speed but not right at first, the problem is that our system does not recognize other carriers phones, so it is difficult to get it assigned on the right speed for the device, usually we get on a data connection that does work then file a ticket to have the data speed manually altered to the right connection for the phone, because the system cant do it on its own this usually takes a week or so to get set up properly but once that is done you have the LTE"
He then looked up the specs for the tmobile d801 lg g2 and said that it does get the correct bands.

Works on my TMO G2 and I get LTE. (Straight Talk AT&T)

D082 on ATT us

Is anyone using the D802 in the US on ATT. Will this phone get LTE and if not how are the HSPA+ speeds? trying to decide between the D802 and the Nexus 5. I LOVE the nexus 5 but I really really like the G2 as well I don't really feel like dealing with the ATT one though (and I already have the D802 on the way).

I'm wondering if no one is using a d802 on att. Does anyone have experience with any international lte phone on att.

D802 im quite sure will not get lte ... cuz AT&T and canada essentially run on the same bands... I get lte in canada because I am in 2600 mhz location... if you are within that then yes you can get that lte... HSPA speeds are rock solid though... absolutely no issues

[Q] N910K LTE Band problem

Hi
I recently brought my N910K with me from Korea, and just got a new simcard. I have cell service, but no 4G LTE. I do get 3G service. So, I figured if I can change LTE band on my phone, I should get the service. Since I am paying for it, why not you know? Anyway, is there any way to change the LTE band or am I stuck as is?
Thank you and sorry for being a noob

LG g6 often switches to HSPA+ network

Hi there. I returned my G600K and switch to H870DS and both have 64 gb and hifi which I love it. However, the new phone H870DS will often time switches to 3g where should be 4g lte network. The weird thing is if I turn on the airplane mode then turn off, the network will be 4glte. However, if I change my location such as going out for a walk, the phone switches back to HSPA+. The phone is factory unlocked and I am an ATT user. I know the phone is missing LTE band 2. So should I switch to sprint?

Contrary to some reports around here, the H870DS is missing band 2 AND 17 which is the primary LTE band on AT&T and Cricket. The only AT&T LTE band that the H870DS will connect to in the US is band 5, but that's apparently not widely available. I don't think you can switch to Sprint, because that's a CDMA carrier, and the H870DS is GSM only as far as I know. If you switch to something like T-Mobile or MetroPCS you should be fine, assuming they have decent tower support in your area.

No, they're two different carriers that use different LTE bands. The only similarity they share is that they're both GSM carriers, as opposed to CDMA which is what Sprint and Verizon are.
