Hi,
Is the T-Mobile LG G2 (D801) phone capable of "band 4" LTE?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-UTRA#Frequency_bands_and_channel_bandwidths
Clearly says "band 4" or "Band IV" requires 1700Mhz uplink and 2100Mhz downlink.
However the G2 does not list 1700Mhz anywhere.
So how can T-Mobile claim it supports band 4?
Also I see claims of LTE band 17, which requires 700mhz, which is also not listed as supported frequencies. How is that possible?
Phil
801 does have band 4 LTE.
Edit: Can't always trust WIKI for information.

I am living within US using Tmobile on my LG Optimus 7 e900. My understanding is tmobile only uses Band IV (1700/2100) within the US - but this phone does not have the 1700 frequiency option.
Do you know if the frequency is availble in the hardward (just not displayed)?
Do you know if there is a way to flash the ROM or enable within the registry?
Not sure I can live with roaming EDGE speed - any help is much appreciated.
It's not an unlock band issue -- this phone simply does not support the T-Mobile 3G bands.
Best bet? Wait until T-Mo and AT&T merge... 'cause this phone *CAN* use the 3G bands on AT&T
Both the LG Optimus 7 E900 and E900h support quad 3G bands 850, 900, 1900, 2100. The modem on-board, as well as the antenna configuration simply does not support the AWS 1700 band that T-Mobile uses. So, unfortunately, until the merger goes through, you will be stuck with 2G/EDGE...
Does it work on AT&T's LTE network? Anyone?
The phone does not have LTE hardware/radios. So there is no need to try it.
My mistake. I assumed the Euro version was LTE enabled.

Totally agree with pops without the 700 or AWS LTE Bands no way jose!
Hi,
I'm also wondering about LTE here in Canada on Rogers. LTE is on 2100 Mhz here. Has anyone tried entering settings and which network types are available? GSM, WCDMA, etc...?
To help clear up some confusion. There is no currently available Galaxy Note for sale that supports LTE. Here is what the European version supports.
GSM/GPRS
Frequencies 850/900/1800/1900
3G/HSPA
Frequencies 850/900/1900/2100 (Quad-Band)
LTE: No
WiMax: No
The upcoming Korean version may have LTE, but we will need to wait and see.
There are over a dozen bands worldwide approved for LTE. Just because a phone has an LTE radio doesn't mean it will work with a specific carrier. Unless they come up with a universal LTE radio that supports a dozen bands we're all kind of screwed as there won't be any roaming and we'll have to buy phones directly from the carriers. VZW and AT&T both use the 700MHz spectrum but because of slight differences in the frequency their radios are not compatible. LTE's going to be a mess.
All the U.S. versions seem to support LTE bands for U.S. carriers, but the same versions do not support global UMTS frequencies. For example, the at&t version (D800) lacks the 900Mhz frequency. The T-Mobile version (D801) lacks the 900Mhz UMTS frequency. The Verizon version (VS980) has all four UMTS frequencies, but lacks LTE band 17 which would enable it to work on at&t's network.
So, is there a version that has a versatile radio similar to the new iphone 5s that has all four UMTS frequencies plus LTE bands 4, 17, etc?
I have one friend that will trip to USA (are a lot cheaper)
What is the most indicated Lg G2 for the international use ( Spain Europe)
I heard that also is one version on lg g2 witb sd card and removals battery
Thx
My Lg Og
The most important question would be, which band does your carreier use for 3g/4g? You wouldn't want to get a phone and then find out you can only use it in Edge because it doesn't support the right bands.
Here in spain are 3g and lte bands , right now i use ths lg og pro f240k Korean model
... I really want that lg g2 korean model with sd card and removable battery ...
My Lg Og
I know you have 3G and LTE bands, but which bands are they? Each carrier has a set of frequencies (bands) that they use. You need to find out which band your carrier uses for 3G and/or LTE (depending on what you're looking for) and then see which version of the G2 is better suited for you.
Here's a breakdown taken from Wikipedia:
AT&T - D800
GSM 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS 850/1900/2100
LTE 1900(2)/1700(4)/850(5)/700(17)
Sprint - LS980
GSM 850/1900
CDMA 800/850/1900
UMTS 850/1900
LTE 1900(25)/800(26)/2500(41)
T-Mobile - D801
GSM 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS 850/1700/1900/2100
LTE 1900(2)/1700(4)/700(17)
Verizon - VS980
GSM 850/900/1800/1900
CDMA 850/1900
UMTS 850/900/1900/2100

LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600
Canadian version - D803
GSM 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS 850/1900/2100
LTE 700,AWS(1700?),2600
I need a note 3 that can:
connect to AT&T LTE here in the USA
And connect to T-Mobile NL in Holland
And unlocked bootloader
ATT:
850 MHz CLR 5 UMTS/HSPA+ 21Mbit/s 4G In service
1900 MHz PCS 2 UMTS/HSPA+ 21Mbit/s 4G In service
700 MHz Block B 17 LTE 4G In service Main LTE band providing complete coverage
1700/2100 MHz AWS 4 LTE 4G In service Additional LTE band for more bandwidth in select markets
1900 MHz PCS 2 LTE 4G Service starts by the end of 2013 Additional LTE band for more bandwidth in select markets[31]
2300 MHz WCS 30 LTE 4G Approved for deployment in Oct 2012[32]

TMO:
This company uses GSM1800 as their main frequency band for communications. In 2010 T-Mobile Netherlands had some problems with 3G capacity, but after investing in the network modernization they have managed to deal with this problem. So now they provide 3G services using 2100MHz band

Am I restricted to the N900-T? or is there another one you know of.
sorry for the noob question i don't know about all the bands.
Thanks!
T-Mo NL uses the 900Mhz for 2G, 2100Mhz band for 3G, and are in the process of updating to the 900Mhz band for both 2G and 3G. (Should be finished by the end of 2016.) LTE runs on the 1800Mhz band. (I can dream these numbers by now...)
You can find the bands per phone version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2574886
Does the TMo US version even work with AT&T?
Both N900-t and N9005 work in terms of frequency for 2G.
You will probably not be able to use the N900T for 3G once the network upgrade is finished here, as we're going to be using the 900Mhz as the main frequency for 3G. The N900T can't see that one. The 2100Mhz will be serving as a bandwidth increaser, not as the main band.
There's a chance you won't get 4G everywhere on the N9005 when using it in the US, as it can't see the 700/1700/1900/2300Mhz frequency.
And you're going to have to root to get rid of the region lock either way if you want to use both SIMs.
Tmo version 4G will not work with AT&T 4G. I tried with my wife's phone
T-Mobile (US) devices support the same frequencies as AT&T devices. This is coming from experience and from the fact that I've pretty much memorized all the band numbers that carriers use and phones support.
If you want a Note 3 that supports AT&T LTE in the US and HSPA+ in NL, you can either get the AT&T model or the T-Mobile model. The T-Mobile model supports one extra band (1700 MHz HSPA+) that is only used on T-Mobile US (nowhere outside of North America), so it wouldn't make a difference. Just know that it CAN be used on AT&T. The other differences between the two:
1. The T-Mobile version supports Wifi Calling (if used on T-Mobile), AT&T model doesn't.
2. AT&T removes the "Network Mode" menu from the Settings menu (so you can't force EDGE for example).
3. AT&T version has a locked bootloader. T-Mobile version doesn't.
In many instances, although 900 MHz WCDMA/HSPA+ isn't listed, it's supported. I can't confirm it because I'm in the US, and GSM carriers use (total) 850/1700/1900/2100 MHz for WCDMA, not 900 MHz. I think it's just unlisted to discourage people from exporting the US models. The only LTE frequency that North America shares in common with Europe is 2600 MHz, which is supported by the phone. I believe that's only used in urban areas in Europe.
Overall the T-Mobile model is the most open in terms of bootloader and supported frequencies (though either model would work in your case).
