I've got a 32gb LG G2 D802 running version D80220c. The phone was bought from digitalrev (Hong Kong), so I guess it probably doesn't have a european rom.
However from what I've read it should support 4g on the 800mhz range which Vodafone UK uses. But I can't seem to get it to connect at 4g.
I've used the hidden menu and do have the option for GSM / WCDMA / LTE auto - which I've chosen, but sadly still no 4g.
My sim is 4g enabled as I've tried it in another phone and 4g does work on that phone.
Do I need to flash a european rom to get 4g enabled?

Does 4g 800mhz work on the G2? According to the box it does??

Hi to all,
I want to know if my HTC Hero GSM is for Europe only, or I can use it in the U.S. too.
Thank you
Pich
It will work, but you'll probably only get 2g, not 3g due to USA 3g running on a different frequency
Can a G2's rom be change to GSM 850/1900
Trying to find out if there is a way to make a T-Mobile G2 that is supposed to be the same as the Desire Z run UMTS (3G 850/1900)
Specs say the G2 is UMTS 2100 and the DZ is 850/1900
Is it a physical hardware limitation? is it FIRM ware or custom ROM that can be changed/flashed?
I'm trying to get a used phone (Desire Z) but cannot find one.. I have a G2 and was hopping that a custom rom might allow it to get 3G in the other band so I can get 3G with TelCel. They use the same thing AT&T uses.
Am I dreaming? LOL
Hi,
I am looking to buy a factory unlocked G2 and flashing custom rom on it like CM10.2, and use it on T-mobile. Just want to make sure I could get LTE speed, correct?
Currently on Nexus 4 on T-mobile monthly 4g, enjoying LTE 4G speed, so, just want to be sure...
I would suggest you still buy the T-Mobile version, depending on what's important to you. As far as I know, the AT&T version doesn't have 1700mhz AWS band for HSPA+ to fall back onto if you don't have LTE. The two devices (D800 and D801) both have the same LTE bands.
Which version are you considering? I don't know if any of the other versions work on T-Mobile's Band 4 LTE, but when I checked a few weeks back, they didn't. You may be stuck with a T-Mobile version.

Factory unlocked, e.g. : http://www.amazon.com/LG-G2-32GB-Un...qid=1382743380&sr=8-3&keywords=unlocked+lg+g2
The specs listed on that page for LTE are:
4G Network LTE 850 / 1800
Neither of those are T-Mobile bands in the US. Are you planning to use it in the US, or T-Mobile in another country like the UK? I think the UK uses 1800mhz, but I'm just speculating at this point. Sorry I can't be more help!

I just moved to a new state, where my current phone service BLOWS (Sprint).
I want the G2 but I want to try both TMO & ATT to figure out who's service is best for me.
From what I understand the TMO G2 is missing the 850 LTE band and I have no idea if I need it.
"AT&T version (D800) does not support WCDMA 1700 / T-Mobile version (D801) does not support LTE 850"
http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=4216
What I gather from this wiki I should be ok... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT&T_Mobility
So, If I get the LG G2 d801 and get it unlocked will I be able to hop networks without issue?
Tmobile d801 on ATT
Hey,
Kinda new on the forums in terms of posting but have been reading for a while.
I talked to an ATT rep today about using the unlocked tmobile d801 on att, here is his response:
"ok here is how it works, if the phone is LTE capable you can get the LTE speed but not right at first, the problem is that our system does not recognize other carriers phones, so it is difficult to get it assigned on the right speed for the device, usually we get on a data connection that does work then file a ticket to have the data speed manually altered to the right connection for the phone, because the system cant do it on its own this usually takes a week or so to get set up properly but once that is done you have the LTE"
He then looked up the specs for the tmobile d801 lg g2 and said that it does get the correct bands.

No,
The earlier variant D802 does not support 2300 Mhz (band 40) frequencies. You will need newly released variant.
But I have used my D802 in Singapore and LTE works there. The new USIM will enable LTE in network selection menu. So you will have to wait for Vodafone or Reliance to deploy LTE in 1800 or 2600 Mhz.
Moreover, Airtel's 4G is a piss poor effort. It's capped at 10Mbps. They have become a laughing stock. My Vodafone 3G touches 15 Mbps on a good day.
Also the 4G is data only and VOLTE (Voice over LTE) has not been enabled by Airtel yet. So you cannot get continuous 4G data. If you receive a call, it will fall back to 2G or 3G mode.
I hope this answers your question.
My Samsung Note 4 N910C had great performance under all 5 operators when I was in Hong Kong, with unbelievable 4G speeds...
Now I am in China, using a 4G enabled SIM card from China Unicom and the icon on the top bar only shows H+.
By contrast my iPhone 6 and my LG G3 show 4G, both of them. Under the same conditions, same network (China Unicom) and same 4G SIM card
I asked China Unicom: they run a 4G FD LTE network, in 1800MHz band. So what could be the culprit? Are we sure that Samsung SM-N910C covers the FD LTE 1800MHz band?
(LG G3 and iPhone 6 plus do for sure since I get the 4G icon on top bar)
Thank you and waiting.

OTA routine updates + Phone call recording
I have other 2 questions
I wish to root my device: (using chaifire Auto-CF method).
1. OTA routine updates
What will happen when I make an official OTA monthly upgrade, from Samsung? Will I get the device bricked? Will I lose rooting?
2. Phone call recording.
For many reasons I wish to avoid to flash a custom rom. How then can I get the capability of "phone call recording" during a phone call? I have this feature with my NON rooted MIUI M3 device...running android 4.4.2. Are out there any apk to install or special mods?
I am not asking about privacy concerns or the legality of phone recording, I just wish to know if that function is feasible without flashing a custom ROM.
Thank you
Saulo

As far as I know china mobile runs FDD band 3 (1800) and band 7 (2600) ONLY in Hong Kong. All other parts of China using TDD. As far as 910C I can assure you it has band 3 (1800) because vodafon qatar uses that band.

I am using China Unicom, not China Mobile, but, yes, both carriers are currently sharing the TDD LTE network
So we have to admit that LG G3 has both FDD LTE and TDD LTE? Otherwise why my LG G3 shows a 4GB icon on top bar? Of course I am using the same 4G enabled China Unicom SIM card
The 910G should work in china as it supports TDD bands

Really strange as both your 910c and the Unicom 9106w both list B3 (1800) in their specs so it should work.
Any way to get into the settings and force LTE only? Do the APNs look OK?

Dear Kinghu
How to force LTE? In settings I only see
WCDMA only
WCDMA/GSM
GSM only
2.
In Hong Kong I saw 4G icon. But at that time I did NOT check in settings, Anyway the speed was so good! I downloaded an entire movie is less than 6 mins. Incredibly fast. Here I am back to average speeds.

I just bought a 4G china unicom sim card and receive H+ as the symbol.
I called Unicom and asked them why and the guy told me that iphone symbols show 4G but android and some other devices may show H+ but it's still 4G speeds..
Is that even possible? My HTC One can use 4G but it's showing H+, I didn't think H+ could be shown if it actually uses FDD-LTE..
