AWS Capable?

I've tried to look this up however so far I've seen mixed results.
Is the Verizon variant of the LG G2 AWS able to utilize the AWS spectrum which Verizon is beginning to activate across the USA?

I am trying to find out as well. Specs for the VZW version do not say this device supports band 4 which is where VZW has their AWS spectrum.
I have a family member who works in VZW and he's going to have his"Device Guy" check and let me know.
It may have it, since the GSM model does, and the suspected Nexus 5 passed through FCC with support for band 4, even though it didn't have 7 (VZW LTE)

If phonescoop is correct, it says it does have the ban IV 1700 just like the note 3 and the S4 have.

Yea, I saw that as well however it's the only website that mentions this. Even the specs on Verizon's website don't mention anything....
Is there a way to check the LTE bands on a phone via an app, (secret) menu or something?

from what I read is only those that are in the AWS area's like new york can check to find out. its the method the signal of the phone connects to the AWS tower. one guy posted that on his iphone that it changing as in the picture provided but I am not sure if about phone will give that level of detail about connection with a tower. see image

im pretty sure us from xda-developers can get around the exclusion of mcafee, if anything a rom based on those variants should be enough unless its built into the hboot or aboot whatever its called on the lg g3

At some point, I think Google may incorporate that into Android L or later, that's the rumor going around anyhow. I do hope it is true.
Just in case anyone didn't know this as well, the G3 will not have wireless charging out of the box either here in the US (I have the South Korean version in the USA, same here). The carriers will push us to get the QuickCircle case with qi capabilities.

The original document that was from can be downloaded from LG. Won't let me post links till i've done 10 posts, though if you google "G3 (LG-D855) Customer Service Guide" it comes up.
Looks like a customer services guide for staff. Gives an overview of other features plus the table above on where McAfee is pre-installed.
I states in the specs table: "space memory available to users" with "32gb model: 23gb" and "16gb model: 10gb"
I wonder why the 32GB uses 9GB out of the factory and the 16GB only 6GB...?

Mcafee told me... Kill switch is LG's feature..

How to check whether Samsung Galaxy s5 is a replica

I just purchased a couple new Samsung Galaxy s5 from seller that claim they were new refurbished At&t units. I've tested them and everything seems to be checking out. Is there any sure way to verify whether the phones is a a genuine Samsung or a replica? I was confused because one of the handsets showed a At&t boot up logo, but the imei was showing up as a Tmobiles. Thanks any help will be appreciated.

Sorry for the double text post. New to the forums and in on a mobile lol

Boot up screens don't mean nothing. Use Phone Info from the Play Store to find out about the internals or just open up the phone and look inside....

Thanks for the input Gerard. I had already done what you recommended after doing some some research and like I said everything seems good. Correct snapdragon processors, 16gb internal memory, 2gb ram, 16mp camera. i used one app called genuine Samsung which claimed it was genuine. Should that be enough to determine it's authentic?

It is worth to change Eu version for the US one?

As the title says I'm thinking of changing my axon 7 EU version (A2017G) with the US version (A2017U), because the US version now have the bootloader unlocked while we have no information about a possible unlock on the EU version.
I live in Italy and I want to know if there is any problem related to that using a US version and wich site have worldwide shipping.
I really love this phone and I don't what to change it for the oneplus 3 only because we have a really bad service from ZTE.

You won't have any issue usong the US version in Europe. All main bands are supported too.
The only issue is shipping. No reseller can ship it to Europe so you have to pas trough a dropshipping service like Viabox. And you'll end up paying a little over 500€ after taxes and customs fee.
You won't have any warranty either.

Maybe, because you can not trust ZTE. On the official homepage the specs are wrong ? 3000 mAh, no WIFI ac... ????
Maybe you buy the US Version and don't have b20 LTE.
I really like the phone but I will not buy it. This is the only way to show them, how crap they are.

Lucky me, have someone coming from the States in a few weeks and he will get me a USone... even if EU version maybe will unlock bootloader by time (altough ZTE Germany denied it for now), but the US support is much better, releasing upodates sooner and actually listens to their clients...
@djona12 and about the warranty, I hope my piece is working flawlessly, but else I still have the warranty and 30 days return policy (B&H), just have to get it there and back on my own cost, means it would become more expensive to make use of the warranty... that if ZTE Europe won't accept it, but sometimes they do, differs from company to company and their good will
So, for me it's worth it to go for the US one in EU

Discussions related to Google Pixel used/bought in/out of Philippines goes here. Please avoid OT as far as possible.

Picked up a Google Pixel 32GB from the gray market last week. Prices are still quite high. I am told the source is the India market, and the packaging and included AC Adapter seems to confirm this.
I can confirm Google Photos recognizes the Pixel and says photos and videos will be backed up at original quality. I wasn't sure it would since it's been found some features like Support don't work outside the launch countries.
I'm using the phone on Smart network, and here is the major disappointment: LTE Data flat out does not seem to work, at least in the areas where I find myself. I've set the phone to prefer 3G networks, but missing LTE speeds and coverage that I got out of the 5X (such as it is for Smart).
Finding a case for it in stores has been pretty much impossible (Spigen are only selling the XL cases), so I ended up ordering from Lazada where I found one sold by Ringke Direct.

An update on the situation with Smart LTE data: this seems fixed in the 7.1.1 update (NMF26O), or even in the Canadian update (NPF26J), as I now get mobile data in LTE preferred. I do still find spots where LTE shows no internet connection where I need to switch to 3G only. This may already be down to Smart's network as I recall in the past that my Nexus 5X had the same problem forcing me to go 3G.

I hope the local carriers would bring the Pixel here in the Philippines. Just got the OG Pixel recently and I love it. Wanting to get the Pixel 2 but it is just too pricey in grey markets and isn't covered by warranty.
