Has anyone gotten LTE/3G working on the VS980 (verizon). I am trying to get it on the fido (canada) network but it only registers the network when I set it to GSM only. I have checked the bands and it is supported. There is no fault with the sim or the network since I get full connectivity on my HTC One.
I have seen some threads saying flash the GSM fix or edit the build prop but none of those have gotten me LTE. I am even fine with getting the 3G working on the device.
So maybe this was a bad idea but I'm on boom mobile (verizon mvno) and thought I could save some money and picked up a sprint s7 edge on sale, I just had it unlocked and they flashed it to the 935u unlocked version. The problem is I can't connect to the verizon network, after playing around with it a bit I got it to connect to the verizon lte network but still no voice. In my meager attempts to troubleshoot I noticed I have the options under network mode of
LTE/3g/2g -->> this picks up all networks in my area (Verizon, Sprint, ATT, Tmobile, US Cellular)
3g/2g --> only shows ATT and Tmobile
3g --> only shows ATT and Tmobile
2g --> only Tmobile
So I'm thinking my phone isn't setup right to connect to cdma networks which I thought the 935u rom was supposed to do. Anyone have any tips on how i can further troubleshoot this?
Thanks in advance.
edit: Well I installed a program called 4g LTE switch and set it to cdma only and I was able to make a phone call (3g data also worked) like that but changing it to LTE/cdma wouldn't let me make a call but LTE data worked, if i leave it set to LTE/cdma and reboot it switches back to LTE only.
edit2: Maybe it's trying to connect to volte which isn't offered for Verizon MVNO's yet but i don't see any settings available to disable that.
edit3: When set to LTE/CDMA I could sometimes make outgoing calls, sometimes I would get the double dial prompt, it was very slow to switch between LTE and CDMA so I would miss incoming phone calls.
I threw in the towel and just flashed the latest Verizon rom and it's working properly.
I use Ting, and LTE is available in my area (wife's on same plan) I lost my LTE/4g after flashing Cosmic OS. I've been struggling along with 3g just fine. The phone never showed CDMA - always showed "Global" in the network settings, if I Switch to LTE preferred I lose my signal and have to reset my network settings.
I ordered the MintSIM test kit, and installed it today...and I had LTE. Mint runs off of T-Mobile, Ting runs off of Sprint.
My LTE isn't gone... it's just gone from the CDMA side of things.
Has anyone else flashed Oreo onto a Sprint networked phone and retained their LTE? Is it something with the current ROMS and Sprint?
Experiencing the same after flashing FrankenRom.
Don't get LTE with Tello but I get LTE fine with redpocket T-Mobile.
I've just bought a V20 and noticed that it's a Taiwanese model (model LG-H990DS, with TWN firmware). The first two issues that I've noticed are:
- it won't connect to 4G (I'm on Plusnet Mobile, which uses the EE network). It will only connect to 2G according to the notification bar
- it won't connect to either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz wifi networks on my Asus RT-AC68U router (although it will connect to a Belkin access point that I have elsewhere in the house).
Are the above caused by basic hardware incompatibilities, or can they be resolved by a firmware update?

Hi
The H990DS should have no problem connecting EE network as it is The Global version and supports LTE bands 3,7 and 20 which are used in UK and EE uses 3 and 7. I have a Verizon V20 which I use on Virgin and it has no problem connecting as Virgin piggyback on EE as well.
It may be your firmware needs updating.

My current firmware is V10i-TWN-XX. Should I be looking for a different version? If so, what's the recommended way of obtaining and flashing it?
That is the most current version of the firmware.
Theoretically Oreo will be released in August, barring further delays.
Silly thoughts:
Which SIM card slot is the SIM in? 1 or 2? It can make a difference when using two SIM's - only one will get 4G/LTE while the other gets 2G.
Is the phone new, never previously been used?
Finally see the attached screenshot of the network settings under: Networks/More/Mobile Networks/Network Mode. If for some reason it got set to 2G that could be the problem.
Note: I'm only using 3G network access so that's why in the screenshot it only shows 3G (Notification bar) even though it's set to auto LTE.
As for the WiFi issues, mine seems to be a bit quirky in not always connecting to some routers, 99% is no problem then you can run into one that for what ever reason it refuses to connect. At the radio station I work at (part time) my V20 simply refuses to connect even though I have the password. Works fine with my tablet & Motorola phone but no go on the V20. Go figure.
Best of luck figuring it out.

Thanks for that. I have my SIM in the SIM1 slot, and my Preferred Network Mode is GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto, which I guess is correct. The phone is second-hand (bought from Music Magpie).
I have now managed to get 3G (with "H" displayed - HSPA presumably), but I haven't been able to get 4G anywhere that I've travelled in London so far.
In the last day it has also finally recognised my Asus router, so that's a big step forward.
Hey i have an lg v20 h990n as far as can tell from reading specs its got the same frequencies and bands mine works totally fine with ee o2 and vodafone its suppose to work with three ... it also works with my tp link vr600v2 works fine with 5ghz and 2.4ghz also my sisters and partners carrier supplied routers i might suggest that you received a defective one id return it if you cant get it sorted music magpie charge loads too for this phone
Let me start by saying that this phone works great. I had it unlocked and practically all is well. There is one issue i am having.
The phone will not automatically reconnect to LTE. My carrier does not support voLTE so it switches to 3g for calls. After a call, the phone stays on 3g and I have to manually toggle the 3G and LTE under network settings to get it to go back to LTE. My carrier uses Bands 12 and 17 and both of these bands have strong signal on the phone when connected to LTE.
I also installed the stock U1 firmware on the mobile to remove all the sprint bloat. Now this issue is the only peeve. I did factory reset it and I also reinstalled the firmware a second time to no avail. The phone did the carrier provisioning on initial start-up after sim was inserted. So I am at a loss.
I had an At&t s10+ which I sold and never had these issues and i did the very same to it as well. I was going to by the OnePlus 7 Pro but i loved the s10+ so i had to go back. It is not such a big deal because i don't make that many calls or receive so many but it is bit annoying. Any solutions?
