Hi,
I bought MyTouch 4g from US and unlock it. Now, I am using the same in India. The problem is that I cannot connect to 3g network in india.
I googled and found that MyTouch 4g recognize 1900 MHz frequency as 2g and in India, 3g works on that frequency.
Is it possible to make MyTouch 4g listen for 3g on 1900 MHz? Is it possible thru Radio rewrite or something?

My friend has the same phone. Got it from US and 3g is working with Airtel. Make sure that your sim is 3G ready. If it is old then it wont even search any network when in 3G mode. MyTouch 4g supports 2100 MHz. Airtel and every other 3g operator also uses the same Bandwidth in India. You don't need any radio flashing.

Hi Sagar! Thanks for the reply, I took my friend's sim (which is almost a year old), and tried but no luck , I checked the airtel site and they claim that to use 3g, you do not required new sim, the old one works.
I am really confused!

The myTouch 4G is designed to use on the T-Mobile network with HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100
The 3G network in some countries will be different. You should have this frequency to enjoy 3G service.
This is preset in the hardware itself, so can't change by flashing Radio. Try using some other carrier sim cards.
Always remember to ensure the compatibility of the carrier before purchasing the phone.
ummm , probably i got the same problem
im in china and when i connect to 3g network the phone displays 4g icon on the top ....

That's not a problem. myTouch 4G is designed for T-Mobile HSPA+ Network.
If your phone displays 4G icon, it means that you are having an HSPA+ network (speed > 14.2 Mbps)
I think you are on China Unicom network, if yes you can enjoy high speed network same as T-Mobile.

Hi, Thanks for the reply, the carrier that I am using has 3g frequency on 2100 Mhz and as you said, mytouch 4g supports that
HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100
so, technically, I should get the 3g service, right?

Technically i think it holds good....may be some other compatibility aspect.
I suggest to use the carrier TATA DOCOMO, since they use the advanced technology of NTT DOCOMO, JAPAN
Go through this Wikipedia link. Try changing the carrier sim until you reach the compatibile one.

Technically you should but may be you are in an area where there is no 3g coverage? Just guessing.

Yeah, manish might be right. Check whether 3g network is there and make sure that in settings->wireless n networks->use only 2g network is unchecked.
it should work. I don't see a prob with the phone as it worls here in Karnataka. Try using vodafone 3g too.

Hey Felix,
Just now I asked my friend (who owns MT4G) about airtel 3G in Ahmedabad. Airtel 3g is not yet deployed there it seems. That's what he told. He is getting 3G here in Bangalore but when he visited he dint get 3g. Vodafone has 3G there I guess.
No issues with phone I guess.
BTW, I am Diana's classmate.

See, world is too small!
Back to the point! My wife has HTC G2 (HTC GSM Hero) bought from India only, she is getting Airtel 3g, and I am not! ,
In any case, I am going to get a new sim card tomorrow, and also, I am going to check 3g service with TATA DOCOMO, as I checked with them and they are providing 3g services on HSDPA 2100 Mhz.
So, let me do these test cases and will let update you!
Thanks,
Felix

Read somewhere that Airtel has 900 Mhz band in some circle. It might deploy 3g in that band in some circle where it dint win 2100 Mhz band e.g. Gujarat. Tata Vodafone Idea won 2100 band for Gujarat.
It seems Airtel deployed 3G on 900 MHz band in Gujarat. your wife is getting 3G with the phone which has WCDMA 900/2100 Freq band support. MT4G has WCDMA 1700/2100 but you are not getting 3G. so logical conclusion is Airtel has deployed 3G on 900 Mhz. Try switching to Vodafone/Idea. You will get 3G if this is the case.

The T-Mobile myTouch 4G is designed for band frequency HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100
It uses HSPA+ (Evolved High-Speed Packet Access) network of T-Mobile.
Even if it's build with HSDPA technique & a maximum download speed of 14.4 Mbps,
It is termed as 4G not 3.5G because it uses the T-Mobile HSPA+ network (speed upto 42Mbps) all over the U.S.
GET THE FACTS CLEAR BEFORE YOU MAKE A COMMENT ON THIS FORUM
@above, FYI, WCDMA is the Physical layer technique for HSPA or HSPA+. So when u say it is HSPA/HSPA+ network your phone is using WCDMA for phy layer.
PLS DON'T COMMENT WHEN YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE POST.

I had already checked on their site. It supports 1700/2100 for HSPA(+) network and doesn't support 900 MHz

Wrong. MT4G doesn't support 900MHz band, only 1700(AWS)/2100. Refer to official HTC or T-Mo specs on their respective sites.
Additional possible reason for not having 3G is - you need the correct APNs entered to get the cellular data working.
Hi Friends,
Finally, getting 3g network (sometimes 3g and sometimes 'H') with Airtel only, I did these things
1) Change the sim card, as my sim card was around 6 years old!
2) On my carrier's site, it is not written that I need to request them to start 3g, but actually, we need to send sms '3G' to them, and then they will enable 3g network
3) I did my network mode to WCDMA only,
Some facts
- Airtel Gujarat 3G runs on 2100 Mhz
So, in nutshell
MyTouch 4g works in India with Airtel 3g network !
Thank you all!
Cheers,
Felix

Haha. I told you to change the SIM at first..
Yeah, even i thought 2100 MHz should be freq as it is the same everywhere else. Plus, I was just thinkinig about 900 because airtel dint get 2100 band for Gujarat. But also read somewhere that it tied up with idea for that frequency. So all in all, all is well.
I know it's an old thread. But incase if someone still looking for clean answer on which handset to buy for indian 2G and 3G neworks.
1. Technically AT&T US should do.
2. It should be having 2100 MHz (MegaHertz) 3G HSDPA (Indian carrier use this band to DOWNSTREAM data on 3G band) + 1900 Mhz (Indian carrier use this band to UPSTREAM data for 3G)
If any one of these (HSDPA 1900 / 2100 MHz) is missing from your mobile handset, Then your 3G will not work in India.
3. 900 and 1800 and 1900 MHz for 2G / EDGE / GSM / GPRS
So in all it should be like this to cover all indian operators
General 2G Network : GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network : HSDPA 1900 / 2100

Just bought an AT&T Lg G2 and unlocked it for Tmobile/Metropcs use and after setting APN settings I still have no connection at all. Im unable to send a single text, get online or anything. Im sure im doing something simple wrong. Tmobile has 4G in my area so i should get great speeds. Anyone got any ideas?
I've entered APN for both 4G and non 4G
Did you reboot? Probably did but it already, right?
yup I've rebooted multiple times. Went into Networks searched networks it found AT&T Tmobile and MetroPCS and a few others. i've tried AT&T tmobile and Tmobile LTE and Metro PCs...all with no luck

I'm afraid that the AT&T D800 does not support AWS/UMTS Bands, which are T-Mobile's main frequencies. I've just pulled this list from Wikipedia:
AT&T - D800
GSM 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS 850/1900/2100
LTE 1900(2)/1700(4)/850(5)/700(17)
T-Mobile - D801
GSM 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS 850/1700/1900/2100
LTE 1900(2)/1700(4)/700(17)
Namely, you are missing UMTS band 1700 which manages about 50% of T-Mobile customers' HSPA+ connection. That being said, the fact that you cannot connect to T-Mobile's LTE band 1700 is weird. Also, UMTS band 1900 should also work.
Perhaps you're in an area with ONLY UMTS 1700 which would not work with the AT&T LG G2. Do you know if there's LTE coverage in your area?

Yes I am in DFW area which is one of the largest LTE areas Tmobile has. I'm unable to get a connection at all. It says phone is for "emergencies only" I cant make calls, text, or use web.
Sounds like the phone is not SIM unlocked. Need to verify it is SIM unlocked. Also where did you buy it. If the phone was bought from a person it could have been reported stolen or lost and blocked from T-Mobile.

I bought it off Swappa. Ill try the unlock code again but it said it was unlocked. it doesnt come up with any error when i put the new sim card in anymore.
You're likely in an area that does not have HSPA 1900 coverage; and since you're AT&T variant doesn't support the band, is showing no service. Locking onto LTE wouldn't help as HSPA is required for voice access.
I created a thread in the Q&A asking for ways to enable the missing AWS band on our AT&T / Canadian variant handsets. It was doable on Samsung and am hoping it can be done on our handsets.
turns out MetroPCS had to activate it. you cant just stick a sim into a new phone. they have to activate it on your account. $15 later (yeah i know...its BS) but the Lg G2 is up and running and getting 4G speeds
Anyone using this phone in the UK? Any problems with it, i.e. connecting to 4G etc..... Thinking of buying the sliver version, and want to make sure it works ok.
No problem at all. o2 network - No 4G. max is HSPA+. EE network - all LTE bands. Even 4G+

When you have both SIM inserted, do both run at LTE? or 1 of the SIM is 2G only?
One is LTE one is 2G. All dual sim mobiles doing same.

Yes. it works like that.
I'm currently in Australia and like the look of this dual sim phone. The specs say it should be 3G on both SIM cards....is this not possible in UK because of the SIM 2 bands ? I don't want to by it at just under A$1000 and get back to UK to find it doesn't work well due to network compatibility issues. I have tried reading the country network bands info online but I don't really understand if the uk and Europe can make use of the LTE band or not....... I frequently go UK and France (live in UK) so anyone know how this phone will workout in these countries.
I forgot to say that I'm on a Three network SIM in UK. (Long live the "feel at home" features they offer!)
I own this model and both sim use lte but you cant use them at the same time.

Thanx for your reply. Would you say it's a good phone for use in the UK or would you buy a UK model if you had the chance to change again?
It's just that there are not many dual phones available in UK.......
Currently I use an HTC m7 dual SIM.
It works perfectly fine in UK, But I advise You to Use EE UK. They offers LTE cat.9 (4G+). o2 doesn't support 4G on that phone. I don't know about rest networks.
Ok thanx, I will check what THREE network does. I saw your earlier post when you just got the phone and you asked a similar question as me about 4G so I guess your issue was service provider then and you now on EE.
Can you advise me one more thing...... If you put your EE SIM in to SIM 2 shot does it still work on 4G with data connection on SIM 2?
check if your carrier support this following band.
Cellular Networks: GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS850 (B5), UMTS1700/2100 (B4), UMTS1900 (B2), UMTS2100 (B1), LTE700 (B17), LTE850 (B5), LTE1700/2100 (B4), LTE1900 (B2), LTE700 (B12), LTE800 (B26), TD-LTE2600 (B38), TD-LTE2500 (B41), TD-LTE2300 (B40), TD-LTE1900 (B39)
Cellular Data Links: GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+, LTE, LTE-A

I checked and THREE network sports LTE B2.
But what I would like to know is if sim 2 is selected for the preferred data connection, well it connect on LTE or 3G or like my HTC m7 dual SIM only 2G?
Could anyone try this for me and let me know. I have seen different advice on different sales sites so not sure.
Both sim card slots offers LTE. You just need to choose which simcard need to be LTE. You can swap LTE between simcards without removing it. Thing is, that You can use LTE on one sim, other one will be 2G. No way to get 4G on two sims at the same time.
Thank you for testing and letting me know, I don't need 4G on both slots at the same time, so that works for me.
