Im expecting G2 this week and my carrier LTE band is 3 (1800). Does anyone know if F320L will work on this LTE band? I have read quite contrasting posts and according to F320L spec sheet, it doesnt support. However i also read that it can be enabled through service menu. Need advice from F320L users outside Korea. Thanks much!

I'm *very* interested in the Optimus 7 -- and I never thought I'd say that about an LG phone!
Anyhow, one deal breaker for me would be 3G network access with T-Mobile. Anyone know if the Optimus 7 can do 3G on T-Mo, or is it only Edge network speed? I see that the Optimus 7 covers several frequencies, but I'm seeing conflicting info as to what is the 3G band for T-Mo. I've seen 1700mhz and 2100mhz listed for T-Mo's 3G. The Optimus 7 appears to cover the 2100mhz range, but not 1700mhz.
So... does anyone know if it'll work? Anyone have first-hand knowledge?!
Thanks,
Yip
This is a great question. Unfortunately, I have no concrete answer for it. However, I came across a very interesting piece of information in the MFG software on the LG Optimus 7 I have ( from Telus ). There does not seem to be any 1700 band support, but there is an unexpected 900 band support for 3G. ( Optimus 7 owners should check the Call UI Display in the MFG menu, or go to the Engineer Menu and check modem settings->band settings ). I guess since this device is being launched in Europe, LG used the same quad-band GSM/quad-band 3G modem in the Optimus 7, but the 900 band is disabled by default in Canada.
Unfortunately, LG Optimus 7 does not support AWS, hence it will not support 3G neither on T-Mobile USA nor Wind Mobile or Mobilicity (it will fall back to GSM/EDGE modes on T-Mobile and will always be in Wind Away zone roaming through Rogers if you were to use Wind Mobile SIM card).
I have the opposite question - do you know if T-Mobiles HTC HD7 will work on HSPA+ networks like AT&T, Telus or Rogers? Or it only has AWS 3G?
Hi,
I'm about to get SG-S4!!
I read through the forum, didn't find a sold answer if SHV-E300S with Exynos 5 (Octa) will work with LTE in US!
Can anyone please let us know...
Thanks
It won't, the bands aren't supported. It won't work in the EU either.

If you want to:
-Pay 200 dollars more expensive(import tax + local seller commission)
-Have a bigger size(korea version is thicker than us one) and have stupid korea restriction(sms limitation, etc...)
-Take a phone who only support Korea 4G frequency and imcompatible with all other country
You can surely go for this version. No problem!!!

I'm using a app called SKT Hidden Menu with my SHV-E300S. You can change the network channels to work in the US.

Hi, since you have the korea version, please show us more pictures about its size, what difference does he have other than the fact he get overclocked processor and compatible LTE? Some physical difference? Bigger than us one? Thicker? Some restrictions? Do you mean that with your app, you can use 4G LTE in the US and in other countries? Also where did you buy your phone? How much does it cost? Thank you.
The overclocked processor settings was dropped before it's release. It's now 4 cores at 1.6 and 4 cores at 1.2. I'm guessing because of heat issues.
Just doing a backup will make the phone heat up quick. Plus, the battery life isn't good.
I should have waited two more months before buying a S4.
I too want to have the octa core S4 with LTE to use in the US and don't want to settle for anything less. Some sources say that the S4 Exynos octa-core supports 20 LTE bands, but often responses from people say that the Korean LTE S4 won't work with US LTE bands. Wiki contains some info on the S4 and LTE bands but I'm a noob so it's not clear to me why it is a definite no for LTE in the US.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S4
SHV-E300/ - Korean with 3 variations: K, L and S
K: GSM, DCS
L: CLR, IMT
S: CLR, DCS
GT-I9505 - International version
800, 850, GSM, 1800 MHz, IMT, IMT-E
SGH-I337 - AT&T
700 MHz (Band 17), AWS, IMT, IMT-E
SGH-M919 - TMobile
700 MHz (Band 17), CLR, AWS, PCS, IMT, IMT-E
I'm targetting to use the S4 on Tmobile LTE. So according to that info Tmobile supports 6 LTE bands, some of which are also listed under the K, L and S variations of the Korean S4. To me that sorta implies that Tmobile LTE would work, but then I'm a noob and not sure how that works out. I don't know how reliable the Wiki info is so it'll be great to know. I've also seen sources that say the Korean S4 supports LTE bands 1/4/7/17. The info are scattered around and carriers don't specifically release these info so that makes things even harder.
But assuming the wiki info is reliable, if you can explain how it works or not work would you please enlighten the rest of us. Thanks.

Hi,
I am from India. I planned to buy LG G2 Locked mobile from USA their after I Unlock the phone to use it in India.
now i am confused which model to buy?
there are many models in LG G2 (D800,D801,D802,D803..)
Which one perfectly match with my requirement?
Is it possible to unlock the USA mobile from India?
D802, because that version have the most development, but tje 802 is already sim unlocked?

Go with D802. No lock or whatever.
If i go with locked mobile the price is very much low when compared to the unlocked phones.In my country LTE is in developing so i don't want LTE.
so i think Verizon - VS980 mobile work with indian 2G and 3G.

If you have already decided why do you ask...
I got my 802 unlocked. Price: 580 but I had to sign up for a 6 month subscription.
D802 of course because is the international unlocked version and all developers working on that plus i m an owner so go for it,you will no regret it !
How cheap is the US version? The India 16gig version is for $570. You get the added advantage of warranty and an unlocked phone.

Get the phone that has the right radio bands to begin with.
I agree with x714x, you do need to get the one that has the right radios for you. GSM is covered an all versions so you'll get EDGE (2g) and voice service with any version, now the question is, which band does your phone company use for 3g?
Talking about radio bands I bought a D802 thinking the lte will work here in the uk but it does not it don't have band 4 can anyone else confirm this,
It doesn't according to this site http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=5082&c=lg_g2_d802_4g_lte_32gb
D800 and D801
Will D800 and D801 work in India ?

hi. looking to get the D802 unlocked online. but i live in Japan and am wodering if it will work here. they have the G2 available too but the problem is with rooting/roming Japanese phones. quite difficult and not much resources available.
the bands for the device are listed as:
UMTS 850/900/1900/2100
LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600
the bands used for my carrier in Japan are:
UMTS 800/2100
LTE 700/800/1500/1800/2100(main)
so from my limited understanding the D802 should work. please any of you with understanding of all this please advise.
also, what are all your thoughts of this device stand-alone as well as rooted/romed? how easy is it to root/unroot? how is rom availability? how is it compared to Nexus 5 (much easier to get a hold of here) anything else you could tell me.
much appreciated
PS by the way currently i have iphone 5 but am tired iOS/apple and want to switch to android.
4G shouldn't be an issue.. 3G will..for calls.. Does your carrier have any 2G or Japan has gone over that stage??
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
don't know about 2g. why will 3g be a problem?
As far as I know the 2100 mHz band is fast, but it has small range. That's the problem
right. and from what i've read on the internet about docomo (my provider) the 800 band is to extend coverages in rural areas. primarily where i live/commute/work. think i'll just go with L-01F (JP) model. hopefully there are still lots of resources that will work for that model too. and already found a root for it on here.
hello i just wanna ask about LG G2 because i will buy one ! does all LG G2 have 4G ? or there is models that have only 3G ? if so what are the models that don't have 4G
all are 4G i dont see any only 3G
good thanks, so the guy told me that it's 3G just because a 4g in the LG G2 should be enabled by a service menu as i saw in youtube lol ! i'll own one so say welcome, i'll be here in this section after being in XZ section
but just check the supported lte bands of your region, isp..
