Hi,
I have a dual SIM Indian variant of the Moto X Play XT1562
I'm going to go to the US soon and would like to use 4G there.
How do I change the modem or tweek the settings to allow me to use the LTE bands there?

Hi. I have the LG-D802 variant of this phone that I bought a couple of days ago. I have a few questions
1. Is this LTE capable? If so, how do I activate LTE? Can't find it in the mobile data settings.
2. Is this equipped with the capability to do wireless charging?
Thanks!

1.Not sure, but try search at hidden menu
3845#*802# - LTE only - Mode selection
2.Verizon only
Thanks. Apparently, this variant is set to automatically get LTE signals when available. Was wondering coz my wife's iPhone had a switch inside settings that allowed her to toggle her LTE on and off. It's my first time to use an LTE capable phone.
The wireless charging only being made available to the Verizon variant sucks.

did you get LTE on your G2 ?
Like the topic says, I installed the following:
[AOSPA 4.4.2 KVT49L] PARANOIDANDROID 4.0+ G2 [beta6]
And latest Gapps.
Phone works fine, but with my T Mo sim installed the best I can get is HSPA+. I am in an LTE area btw, my T Mob HTC One gets the signal just fine.
One other abnormality, the baseband version in the settings shows: "unknown" but the phone does still work
Lte bands arent the same for vz and tmo

Thats not what I've read on multiple occasions. The device does have 3 (i think) LTE bands (2 of which T mobile uses). Now I might just not be in an area where those bands the device already has are used, this I don't know.
Best I have been able to get is H+
As far as i know, tmobile only uses one band for LTE which is one of the 2 bands that att use... but verizon is on a totally different one...

Right, however regardless of if I'm in an LTE area at my house or not, the phone should still show info for things like: Phone number (currently unknown).
This is the video that explains the process of turning a Vz G2 into a T_Mo LTE capable phone:

Ok. I know here claro pr can show unknown and it still works. Iveeven seen phones with unknown or blank imei and it still works with them...

My S5 permanently shows 4G except when on Wifi. I got it from GSM Nation and they sent me the G900W8 (Canadian) model instead of the G900F (International) but it works fine in my country. There is no actual 4G in my country, yet my phone shows that. Does anyone have a solution or have the same problem?

It's most likely that the canadian version (and the US versions) consider HSPA+ as 4G.
The problem is that it shows 4G even when the signal is actually Edge or 3G.

That's weird it should be 4G=H+, H=H, 3G and E that's what I get. Maybe you need to flash a Modem from your country. Look into it. Don't go flashing a modem just yet investigate some more.

My friend's S5 is working properly and I just don't get why mine is acting weird. The data works properly and the bands my country uses are within the bands of the phone. I'll wait a bit more. Maybe someone will have an answer.

After updating to Android nougat (7.0)
There is no option to make network 2g.
I'm on stock based rom and on Indian variant.
I have two sims first one uses 4g/3g and the second one is by default 2g.

Thanks for the replies and help
When using two sims I can't change to 2g for 2nd sim. It's faded out . Any help?
I am having very bad 3G signals in Airtel and hence battery drain.

I could only change the settings of first sim. So it kind of works for those who only uses 1 sim card only.

I have bought a US variant of a phone and am using in the UK.
It only uses one of the 4g LTE bands.
If I was able to region unlock the phone - would this free up the other bands for me to use?
Or am I permanently locked with the one 4g LTE band?

Region lock prevents a phone from being initialized outside its region of sale. Region unlocking it allows it to use any SIM from any wireless provider anywhere in the world. It doesn't change any of the phone's s/w.
You'd need to flash a different modem to change the wireless bands. That can be tricky because if the modem from another is different in packaging size than the one on your phone it'll fail in Odin. As an example, I have a SM-P905 tablet from Singapore. I can flash a Spain ROM to it but not some other EU countries because the flash fails when it gets to the modem because the modem s/w is different size.
Thanks.
