[Q] Changing 4g icon for LTE

Hey guys, so this is what's happening with my phone: I have a SIM unlocked LG G2 D801 (it's a Claro PR phone, but it's basically the same as Canadian's version D801 from Wind mobile). Thing is, since Wind Mobile has no LTE, the icon in these rom variants are nowhere to be found (I DO get LTE, but the icon reads 4G). The Claro PR stock rom one had LTE but I had to refllash using the LG software,and the damned thing flashed me a Wind rom... so you could say it's basically an aesthetics thing.
So the question would be, where do I have to go or what do I have to change in the phone to swap out the 4G icon for a LTE one? Thanks in advance!

(D800) AT&T G2 LTE signal issue??

Hey all,
I recently picked up a D800 LG G2 (second hand)
and I believe I have some issues with the phone not picking up LTE so easily.
Before this, I had Iphone 5, nexus 4, G Pro, Gnote2, etc... and they all picked up LTE just fine at my home
However, G2 rarely picks up LTE signal and it is mostly on HSPA+ (4G Icon) I believe.
I took it into AT&T store to see if I could get a new sim card but when I got there, the phone picked up LTE no problem.........
However, at locations where full bar LTE connection was available with other phones, the G2 still stays on HSPA+..
Looks like many Sprint users are experiencing same issue.. is there a fix for this??
*The phone is currently on stock / non-rooted 4.4.2
Thank you in advance!

BELL Canada Phone not connecting to 4G/3G in China

Hi guys,
I have an LG G2 from Bell Canada (D803) and I'm currently in China. I bought a 4G data plan from China Mobile which uses TD-LTE. I can sort of understand why I can't connect to the 4G network (is it because the G2 doesn't support TD-LTE??), but I can't understand why I don't even get 3G service. It's EDGE only currently.
Sorry if this is a stupid question. I've spent the last 2 days trying to figure it out by myself but I'm not getting anywhere.
[EDIT] 4G data plan as in a phone number/data plan microsim (not the WiFi hotspots).

[Q] Will a phone purchased abroad work on UK 4g?

Afternoon all,
I have an LG G2 32GB that I purchased from a website that operates out of Hong Kong (I forget which). I've got a 4G SIM however can't get a 4G signal, even in areas where I know others do on the same network. Before I start talking to O2, could the problem be a phone purchased abroad like this might not be able to use UK 4G?!? Is there a way I can check?
Thanks
nick

if your phone is LG G2 D802 Model , 4G should work

It says that model on the back. I've got the sim in at the moment and still no 4g in another place that I should get 4g and still no 4g.
If I go to network settings and look at preferred network types it only lists gsm and wcdma, should it not also lost lte?

Thanks this worked like a charm. When I set it to gsm/wdcma/lte I get 4g. Only slight draw back is when I'm in the office the 4g signal is a lot weaker so the phone defaults back to a 3g signal. However if I set it to LTE only I get a decent enough 4g signal, only problem with that is I can then no longer take calls! So set it to LTE only then back to gsm/wdcma/lte and 4G seems to stick.
Thanks again for your help

@nickhopkins07 can I ask what was your model number? D800 or D802?
I'm finally thinking of buying the G2 as its still an amazing phone and can buy a brand new 32GB for around £200 from abroador for the same price a used UK model. Because I believe the D802 is the EU model so should work without any problems in the UK.

Need help with reception on Fido with H910

Hello everyone,
I have bought a brand new Unlocked LG V20 H910 off of eBay in May. I have bought it so that it would be compatible with T-Mobile in the US and Fido in Canada (it seems that it had all the required bands). While in the US it worked fairly well with T-Mobile. Now that I am back in Canada on the Fido network, the reception is absolutely horrible. At places with my other phone (Galaxy S5) that I have full bars, I get no reception. Also, it seems that it switches tower often as sometimes I will get fairly good reception and then it would start searching and have no bars. I have been trying to figure out what to do about it and this is what I have done for now:
I rooted my h910 using this guide here thinking that maybe it would help. Then, I used only the beginning part of the guide to flash the H915 rom onto the phone hoping that a canadian firmware would work better for me in Canada. I ended up having to pay to re-unlock my phone, but it did not help at all. I tried following this thread here too.
I really don't know what to do anymore. When using T-Mobile SIM card in Canada, it also seems to have a harder time although it is better (it typically connects to videotron or Bell).
Do I need a new phone?
Anybody have any suggestions or ideas?
Thank you for your time.
