I'm living in NYC and imagine that all the latest and greatest tech as far as LTE is concerned is enabled here. I've done a fair bit of reading and have been able to conclude the following:
1. T-Mobile has LTE Band 12 enabled
2. the oneplus2 has support for band 12.
so my question: how do I get the phone running on band 12? seems like a simple enough thing to do.
edit: I should add that using LTE discovery app from play store I'm seeing that phone uses band 4 exclusively.

The phone will bounce to Band 12 when band 4 is notably weaker the the areas 12 signal. I am happy when band 4 is my connection.
Band 4:

Awesome another 4g added to the list

Where abouts in Ventura? I wonder if it up and running in Thousands Oaks and Santa Barbara.
from the looks of things there may only be one or two towers in the Oxnard/ElRio/Ventura area.
Not much to write home about at this point.
In case anyone was wondering, I just tried 4G in the UCSB area and its not here yet :/
From what research I have done, sprint just has line cards in the towers and all towers in So Cal are owned and maintined by Clearwire. It appears that Clearwire has also cut back on the roll out of 4g. Oxnard tower maybe the only tower in Ventura county to get 4g for a period of time till clearwire and sprint can work out all the details.
new to ventura, put up a u600 with cradlepoint mbr1200 with cradlepoint router both read full signal 77dBm but i am experiences consistent 1.0-2.2 Mbps down .30-.80 up i have done a bit of research and have not been able to solve this issue
there isnt any in simi and its in ventura county
i live near barnes and nobles in ventura and no 4g yet.
Have an area in my office complex where Band 4 gets no signal (T-Mobile USA)
Using the FULLY stock Factory image for 6.0.1 MMB29K and getting Band 12 (plus VoLTE still works and WiFi Calling as it did before)

This is awesome news! Thanks for posting!
Wooo Hooo :victory:
Tempted to just flash the new image but ill wait for a flashable zip.
I know what I'm doing tonight.
I imagine all we need is the 6.0.1 radio and band 12 will work on any ROM you choose to run.
Thx for sharing, excellent news :thumbup:
Dumb question, does ATT have a band 12?

Yes, but this thread refers to the 700MHz band for TMO which they call extended range LTE. ATT hasn't implemented it yet and when they do, they'll need to update the software on the phones that have Band 12.
Another stupid question. Does this require extra actions or is this running out of the box with the update? You guys loose me with your tech talk .

Once you get the update it will be automatic.
Anyone on Straight Talk T-Mobile with access to Band 12?

Hi,
I decide to get Mate 8 to replace my good Note 3, I have Tmobile service in Bay Area, CA, do you think I made a right choice, will I get LTE speed or just 4G.
Please share if you have any experiences.
Thanks in advance.

I'm on Tmobile in LA, also upgraded from note 3. It shows 4g but I'm not complaining about the speed!

CCLDB, Thank you for sharing, is it fast enough for netflix, hulu, youtube ? Does 4G connection get dropped sometime ?
Thanks again for sharing.

LTE is a type of 4G. You're getting LTE speeds. I'm on At&t and getting LTE as well.
T-Mobile phones show LTE when it's LTE. Overseas phones show 4G when it's LTE. If it says 4G, you have LTE.
Do see this for more issues clearance.

Never had a problem dropping the connection. YouTube has no problem on 1080, I don't use the other two.
Only problem with YouTube is I can't seem to redirect a video from web browser to be played by the YouTube app.
after rooting my moto g4 plus i figured that there is no support for LTE band 40(band 40 is a part of TD-LTE) in the indian model of moto g4 plus , i even checked in the LTE settings >LTE band selection > it only shows operating band 1,3,5,8 but not the band 40 (which is the primary band for indian lte services)

It supports band 40 together with band 1,3,5,8
I can confirm this as I am using Airtel 4G which operates only on band 40.

is there any chance we can enable band 40 (while disabling the other bands) as i can enable/disable other bands but not band 40
I used to have option in my Note 3 & Zuk Z1 to connect to 3G or 4G only network. it is very useful if you are in low coverage area and your fone continuously connecting to lower technology. Is there any ad-don or way around to get this option ?

very simple !
install 4G Switcher from google play ( only works on samsungs)
open it
select LTE only
its only changes sim1 to lte only.
REMEMBER when you done your job (download) change it again to " LTE / UMTS auto" .
if you choose LTE only , you can't call anyone and nobody can call you !
