i dont live in US but as far as i have read T mobile and AT&T use different frequencies for 3g so you wouldnt get 3g on t mobile if you use AT&T phone
its a hardware thing and not something a software mod can do
T-mobile is refarming their network to be compatible with At&t 3g phones. They are mainly doing this to lure away Iphone users, but it should also benefit anyone using unlocked phones on T-mobile.
Here is a list of locations which are already live.

So I was looking over the difference between D800 (ATT) and D801 (TMOUS) and it seems that the reception difference is D800 has an LTE band 5 and the D801 has an 3G band of 1700. Whats the practical difference in reception? Seems like att is starting to grow band 5, and 1700 is tmobile. I travel to some remote areas and I think tmobile works there and att struggles (not sure at least it did 2 years ago), but do like the idea of freely switching between the two without having a tradeoff. will probably start with straight talk for att but will switch to the tmous if i cant get service where i move.
Please share thoughts on the best strategy...
thank you
Trying to get an answer on this also
Hi.
I've been trying to get an answer to this also, my post received no answers

From my own, uninformed research I think we will be fine taking the T-mobile LG G2 (d801) to AT&T.
Looking at the information below taken from Phone Arena, the LTE band 5 isn't in all AT&T LTE phones

Going off of this research I've ordered the D801 but It is possible I can turn out to be wrong.

I'm currently using the Tmobile version on ATT and haven't had any issues so far. The only problem I'm having is it appears there is substantially less support for the Tmobile version.

The D801 CM maintainer was out of county apparently and I'm guessing he held off on uploading everything since he's been gone for a couple weeks and didn't want to push something that would be broken for weeks by chance. We'll start seeing a good bit of roms in the coming weeks and by everything moving to KitKat we'll be in as good of shape as any other device since our devices are plenty similar to each other.
LG G2 d801 (t-mobile) with AT&T straight talk activation help...
I just tried to activate my factory unlocked lg g2 d801 with straight talk with at&t. I set my APN up for the at&t network and used the at&t sim card that came with the straight talk bundle. Now on the lock screen it says invalid SIM card.
What do I have to do to make my phone work? Thanks in advance!
I borked phone flashing a T Mobile based ROM on my canadian G2 (since they both are the D801; by personal research I've observed the D803 works as intended on my canadian D801). I will try later today to flash yet again another T Mo rom on it, but this time I'll flash back the stock kernel. I'll report back.
Just to play it safe, I'd reflash your stock kernel... that way it won't act funny all of a sudden along the way.

Thanks, but I haven't rooted my phone and don't really intend to unless I absolutely need to. It's factory unlocked right out of the box.
It turns out Verizon was holding things up. I'm so happy I'm leaving them.
I tried setting up my APN, but now I can't download or view any media or picture texts in messenger or hangouts. Any suggestions?
LTE on AT&T with D801?
I can't seem to find a clear answer on whether it's possible to get LTE indication and speed on a D801 (TMo) used on AT&T.
Tech Support is giving me the "we can't guarantee data speeds on non-AT&T-branded phones".
This thread seems to say a TMo-branded phone (LG G2 in my case) CAN be provisioned for LTE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506590
Most other threads say no, or there's no conclusion in the thread.
Can anyone give me the straight answer and tell me how to go about it? A way to get past the stone-walling AT&T techs?
I have H2O which uses AT&T's network but only HSPA+ and not LTE but the phone sees AT&T's LTE network when searching for networks.
In this thread there is a screenshot of a T-Mobile phone getting LTE indication on the AT&T network.

Along with a lot of confusion about why his phone was working on LTE. As a relative newb to this stuff I couldn't make any sense of it.
Also in that thread was this comment:
T-Mobile devices support ALL AT&T and T-Mobile bands, except LTE Band 5 (used by AT&T in a few rural areas). What's wrong is AT&T turns off LTE for non-AT&T devices. You have to call them up and give them the IMEI # of an AT&T-branded device (even if it's not yours and even if your SIM isn't in it/you don't plan on using it). They don't check after that.

So it might be possible to "trick" the carrier into allowing LTE?
Guys, I'm not getting data and sms on my unlocked d801 on at&t. Can anybody share APN settings for at&t that work?
Sent from my XT1053 using xda app-developers app
I got my unlock tmo g2 working on at&t with LTE, mms, and Microsoft exchange email after some effort. It's also connecting to my 3g microcell.

Sorry for hijacking but anyone moving from D801 to ATT can share their APN Settings. Cant get internet to work to save my life!
As the title, Wondering if my LG G2 Verizon will work on T-Mobile network, I see here and there about this on the internet, but I figure
I'd ask on XDA . So far I hear I'll lose out on LTE, but HSPA is good, which is good enough for me.
Also Verizon LG G2 comes unlocked, if true, Do I pop in my T-Mobile SIM, and out the box working?
I'm interested in this as well. I tried my tmobile sim in a coworkers G2 and it worked on LTE, but I just bought one and tried it and it's showing Roaming and HSPA.
Hello guys, Newbie here, i'm currently looking to buy an LG G2 for my girlfriend and would like to know which variant has 4G LTE on metropcs, because i noticed that people have issues with unlocked ATT models, but the international version doesn't have the frequencies that metropcs works on, so any help? i noticed that the Verizon is the most likely and it also has Qi wireless charging, so any help please?

Well MetroPCS has been gobbled up by T-Mobile, and they're shutting down their CDMA network and going all GSM (T-Mobile frequencies), so the T-Mobile version would be your best bet.
Anyone happen to know if the T-Mobile version of the S7 Edge will work perfect on ATT network? I have a current pre-order for the ATT variant but remembering that my Note 4 on ATT was never completely root-able because ATT sucks about those things... I thought maybe I should/could buy the TMobile version and just use it on ATT .... Thoughts?

It has the radio bands to support it but AT&T will not allow non AT&T branded devices to use VoLTE.

So if I buy the T-Mobile variant it will work on AT&T network just not able to use the VoLTE capability of AT&T or T-Mobile (In my area AT&T has the best coverage so I can't switch networks)?

What I've read is that physically the phone supports all 4 major US carriers but each carrier version is firmware locked to that carrier so maybe not.
I personally used u firmware on my att but I really need the WiFi calling that's why I decided to come back to att firmware, but someone said that the t-mobile firmware can be flashed as well since both fw are on same BL now , I did flashed the t-mobile fw for some reason on this firmware I get full LTE bars in most of the places for example in my house with att I got only 1-2bars LTE the speed 4-7mb per second, and with t-mobile I get full 5 bars speed up to 60mb per second now I don't even need the WiFi calling anymore since I have signal in most places and the battery last around one hour longer a day

I use the AT&T service on a tmobile phone. It works great. If you want you can flash the AT&T firmware on it as well. I actually prefer the Tmobile firmware, it's faster and gets better battery life.
On the Tmobile firmware the only thing you lose is WifiCalling. VOLTE works great and I actually get better data speeds on this device than my AT&T devices.
