So I bought the G2 last night and got it home where I usually have a pretty weak LTE signal. It's always there, though. I was only able to get HSPA last night before going to bed. Figured I would deal with it this morning. Here I am, at work, where I always have solid LTE and I'm not getting it here either. The phone came programmed with the "Phone" APN settings, so first thing I tried was switching to the "PTA" settings and same thing - only "4g" and not LTE.
I called AT&T and they said three towers are down near my work, and have been down since September 3rd. I informed her that my HTC One was connecting just fine to LTE yesterday. She suggested that the G2 is "more sensitive" and probably "not able to pick up LTE further away." I won't turn this into a bashing-of-ATT thread, but come on! I gave up and went back to the drawing board. I tried the *#*#4636*#*# thing, but there isn't an option to choose which networks to force. Does anyone have ANY suggestions? I can keep calling and try to get a different rep, but you know how that goes...
Other than that, love the phone. Boy, every time I walk into the AT&T store, I'm reminded of what a minority we are here at XDA. It was on display, but the rep didn't know what it was or why I wanted it. I told him "it has a nice screen" and he told me to wait for the 5s He was also blown away that I wanted to buy it outright, rather than upgrade (or sign up for Next).

I noticed that they switched my dataplan from SMT (?) to LTE. Same price, but maybe different authorizations...??

Interesting. I'm now with the third rep on the phone and they're getting someone from LG on the line as I hold longer. It's definitely not an issue with my plan, though, perhaps I shouldn't be so sure. The HTC One was working on LTE this morning, then putting the SIM in the G2 I can only get "4g."
Should be interesting talking to LG.

They also gave me a new sim, but the reason was supposed to be related to NFC.

Well, turns out my SIM was the problem. The same SIM worked fine in my wife's Galaxy S4 and my HTC One, but would not get an LTE connection on the G2. I have no idea why, but, that was the issue!

Perhaps since the G2's hardware is newer and needs a newer SIM?
Has anyone had the chance to test it on other networks? I know it should work on T-Mobile with lte, but I'm debating whether to hold out a month for a international model, in hopes of it having the right lte bands for T-Mobile and no vzw bloat. Or a dev edition. Anyone else on the same boat?

It is impossible to purchase this phone without activating it on the Verizon network, which means you will need a contract or someone on a Verizon contract willing to activate it for you.
They will not let you buy the phone at retail and walk out of the store without activation. I have already tried, multiple ways. I do, however, have an active AT&T SIM and could perhaps try it. But I'd rather not.
Rumor is that Motorola has AT&T and T-Mobile versions on the way, be patient.
Yes I put my ATT sim in the phone.
It comes up with a warning that the sim card you're using is not from Verizon.
You can dismiss it and notice that you will see AT&T instead of Verizon Wireless at the bottom of the home screen.
The data icon shows 3G but speeds are more like HSPA+ speeds.
Voice and SMS not a problem.
I did not try sending a video in a text though.
APNs can be set and even after I did I did not see a 4GLTE icon.
Interestingly enough when I was done and put the Verizon SIM back in, the AT&T APN settings I put in earlier were completely gone, only the Verizon one was showing.
If TMO has a version that would be the one to get as they most likely will NOT have a locked bootloader AND you can walk out without activating at all, just pay cash or charge it, etc.
I have a friend with a TMO and give the associate that number and name on the account and tell the associate it's a gift.

The APN settings stay with the sim. When I was testing sims on a nexus 4 the settings for each individual sim would disappear/reappear when I unloaded/loaded the sims.
Someone else posted they were getting weak at&t LTE on the droid turbo elsewhere..
I am using the turbo on T-mo
Hey,
I purchased the turbo and popped my t-mo sim in and set the APN for T-mo, and I am getting G, 3G and LTE. I dont seem to be getting HSPA. I get LTE most of the time and normal speeds, like 30MBps. I am really happy to have LTE. I am in minnespolis, so I am not sure which band is coming in...

You would be running lte off of band 2 and 4 since that'd T-Mobile's lte signal. As we speak I'm walking over to a vzw to check out the phone but will probably wait until the end of the month to get it if the international model doesn't have T-Mobile's lte bands

The Turbo will work on TMo, but I think its missing one of the spectrums for 42mbps. So its less reliable than would be expected.

I've been reading, but I'm doubtful the international model will have tmobile lte, the only international models that ever do are Sony. As far as the n6, I played with it a few weeks back, the 6 inch screen is definitely too big.

You must be in an area that only has band 17 LTE for AT&T. This phone has band 2 and 4 LTE for AT&T and they are unlocked straight from verizon.
I am very interested in this phone but i will wait for the GSM version that will include band 17.
Since it is a Snapdragon phone I'm sure you can QPST unlock all the band. I did it on my G3 pretty painless but you can really mess some things up if you are not careful

Ok, that makes sense. the icons I have seen are G, 3G, and 4GLTE. I am on LTE most of the time and gotten download speeds of 46Mbs on LTE. When it is on 3G, the network type says UMTS.

Yes, HSPA+ is really 3G+ same difference. 3G=HSPA .'4G' = HSPA+
But in reality LTE is really the 4th Gen. In the states here they f'ed the naming so they can sound like it's blazing fast....

I just bought the phone today and swapped in my Tmobile Nano Sim. Its working perfectly with full LTE in Chicago. I had to add the Apn settings under mobike network to get it to work. Whenever I reboot the phone a notification reminds me that i'm not using a verizon sim. Its easily dismissed. I cant be happier, this is the "Nexus" I wanted all along.
I have called at&t 4 times today and Google once. My phone is only displaying H not 4g. Will not connect to 4g no matter what I try. Messed with APN settings. Wondering if I have a defective phone. Wifo connection is not as strong as my other devices even right by the router. Any help or suggestions. At&T and Google had no help whatsoever.

Probably a hardware issue but I would do a full reset and try again, if that fails contact their support for RMA
That's what I was afraid of. Did the full factory reset and still same issue! I'm hold with Google right now with google. I know they don't do exchanges which is ridiculous! Been on hold for 15 mins. Will prob never buy another device from google after this mess. They are saying a replacement might not fix the issue because H might stand for 4g. I have told them this is not the case as the speeds are noticeably slower.

I'm on At&t no issue here with 4g LTE would say try another sim card crazy google saying that another phone might not fix the issue.
Do you mean "4g" or LTE because 4g will display as H on this phone?
When I went to AT&T they had to tweak my settings so my apn is set to ATT phone not ATT WAP and I get lte now. You might have to go into a store and have them tweak it for you. At first it shows H but it switches over to lte. I hope this helps you some.

Huh I was told by Google that H stood for 3g (HSPA). I do not get LTE at my house but full bars of 4g service. Also the speed feels like 3g about as fast as my rather sluggish wifi. Where 4g on my last phone was very fast. Talked to Google's advanced tech support and sent her a bug report of my device. She is supposed to get back to me.

Yes it's been extremely frustrating. Spent all of my day off and last night on the phone troubleshooting. Just curious what does your phone display when you have 3g/4g/4gLTE ? Will prob go back to at&t and try a diffrent nano sim just to rule out that possibility.

You really need to look at your APN and make sure it's ATT phone like Nexus4to6p said. Post a shot of your APN settings here.
For me, 3g=H and 4gLTE=LTE. Haven't been in a 4g/HSPA+ area yet. My APN is ATT Nextgenphone.

My 6p specifically says 3g, H and lte I was recently on the Moto x pure that had the same settings. Haven't seen the h+ logo in a long time.
it's probably just a provisioning issue if it's not APN related like others have stated.

H displayed for hspa+
I am sure you must have figured it out by now but just throwing it out there in case it helps.
If you simply took out your SIM card from old phone and put it in N6P (not that there is anything is wrong with that) take your phone and SIM card to AT&T ask them to add your phone (IMEI) and activate LTE on this IMEI. Unless something is wrong with your phone hardware wise, this should do it. Try it, you might get lucky and don't have to send your phone back.
I have the same issue and I've tried A few different APN's. Still on H no matter what APN I use. However, what could be wrong is that when I got my 6P I took my SIM card out of my Note 3, had an AT&T store cut it to Nano size so it would fit the 6P ( They were out of SIM cards that day) and went on my way. I later noticed that I only get H anywhere I go. Called AT&T and they said that the IMEI was updated on my account but the SIM card might be damaged from the store cutting it and to go get a new Nano SIM card. (Free at official AT&T stores) So I'm off to try that and I'll report back and see if that solves the issue. I'm rooted on PureNexus ROM and ElementalX Kernel as well.
Sounds like you are used to the way carrier phones display hspa as 4g and LTE as 4g LTE. This all started when the iPhone came out and on att and 3g was listed as 4g. And LTE as LTE. There is nothing wrong with your phone. Its being reported right by android. You are getting yourself worked up over just the way it's displayed. Let me ask you this, what phone are you coming from?

Well that would be cool if that's all it is! I'm coming from the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
I promise you that is all this is. I came from an ATT branded note 3 as well. Think about it, your old note never said 3g, because your 3g would show as 4G and when you had LTE it would say 4gLTE. You guys are getting the same exact connection as you used to. Its just the way its displayed to you.

Oh Ok. So if 4g is shown as H then what does 4G LTE show as? H+? Is there a way to change it with PureNexus Rom, ElementalX Kernel , or Exposed Modules to what I'm use to seeing? Old habits die hard.
Hi everyone I just purchases the device for B&H Photo and I'm not getting LTE on att. I changed all the apn and still no luck. It's strange because when I put my cricket wireless sim I get LTE and band 17 works flawlessly. So I also trying putting my AT&T sim in my LG G5 and LTE works no problem. Any solution would be greatly appreciated.
that's odd. are we 100 percent sure the 996 has all bands for att lte?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S7 using Tapatalk
You shouldn't have any problems. I hope you do figure it out. ATT uses bands 2, 4, 17, and 30. The US996 supports 2, 4, and 17. The lack of band 30 I don't think should be that big of a deal as it only appears to be available in congested areas to lighten the load on the other bands. I'd think that 2, 4, and 17 should be available everywhere where ATT is available. I'll have the US996 tomorrow and will try and remember to post my results. I have ATT also.

Just got back from AT&T because I needed a nano sim. I'm getting LTE no problem. I've seen reports on other phones not getting no LTE when their line isn't configured for it by AT&T. If you happened to have a non-LTE phone prior to this you may need to reach out and have them provision your sim.

I just got my V20 unlocked using it on VZWs network. Advance calling is working and I get LTE but I'm having an issue.
My signal sucks. I took the phone to work in DC same places I used my S5 and my speedtest yields a no network message. Apps were taking to 4 hours to down load, google play would lose its connection. My s5 got 12 hours and my v20 us996 died in 4 hours.
I have lte bars but the connection is poor. Calls via 4g advance calling were poor. I had to turn it off.
I was home Sat on Wi-Fi and the battery lastested 24 hours on wifi.
Now I'm in SC on my vacation sitting in a restaurant and can't pull up the internet on 4 bars or vzw lte.
Did a speed test on the same server side by side with my wife's s7. Her ping was 67 and 14 mb of down load and 2.5 mb upload.
My ping was 800 and got 1.5 down load and lost the connection on the upload.
I love everything else about the phone but I can't do this poor reception and quick diying battery becasue of it.
Spoke to Verizon tier two tech support and they say everything is perfect on the phone.
So dont know what to do now.

Crazy thing is that I'm sottong here on band 5 with 3 bars. Band 5 is an AT&T and I'm unlocked connected to Verizon service.
I'm having the exact same problem with my B&H phone - just showing 4G not LTE. But when I do a speed test, I'm getting 25MB/s down\5MB/up, so not so worried about it. I am having problems with phone calls too, but I use google voice so as long as there's a network connection I'm good. I'm going to run into an AT&T store and talk to someone - I bet there's something they have to do to bless the SIM card. I popped mine out of a Nexus 6P and put it into the V20 hoping it might just work, which it mostly is. It's not just you, in other words!
Hey all,
I've seen a few posts regarding signal problems on TMO and Sprint, but not much on Verizon.
How is your guys' experience on VZW?
Works good for me on Verizon. I don't live in a big city, but I never lose service and I get over 100mbs dowload speeds in certain areas over LTE.
Been using mine on Verizon for a week now and no issues so far. It works everywhere any other device i have used works.
PH-1 reception in my house in mid-peninsula SF Bay Area is non-existent. Meanwhile the Galaxy 7, Galaxy 5, iPhone 5, and iPhone 7 all get decent enough signal here. No matter how good the phone otherwise, that's a deal killer.
Update: the phone continues to frustrate. Reception sucks even in the heart of towns here where other phones are just fine. Basically, the phone is useless except as a pretty iPod that takes cool 360 pictures. What a shame.
What's a good app to test download speeds?
I live in upstate NY. Literally in a gorge.i get the same or better service than my HTC 10 and the WiFi is way better. Don't need WiFi calling anymore.
I'm also in upstate NY. I get extremely fast speeds on wifi but lte seems pretty slow. What network settings are you all using??

Just took this. Remember, there isn't any carrier aggregation. That can make it worse.

Ref: Verizon
I'm getting LTE+ carrier aggregation in the Hickory, NC area. I've seen download speeds as high as 28 Mbps, although I've only been on Verizon 2 days now and I've only ran a few speed tests.
I recently ported my number to Verizon from T-Mobile because I was one of those who was experiencing connectivity issues with T-Mo. For me this phone works much better on Verizon than T-Mo. The phone I have now is a replacement. The first one constantly dropped cellular connections and with it I never saw LTE+ on T-Mo not even once. With the new replacement phone it showed up at times closer to Hickory but Verizon seems to have it everywhere around here.

That's funny actually, right after I took that, I went to lte discovery app, and saw that I was on band 4 & 13 . It's not " supposed " to work...lol
I'm using Xfinity which is Verizon and works fine on the SF Bay Area but since I'm using Xfinity and not Verizon proper, I don't see the option for enhanced LTE...
I got this on Verizon on the way into work this morning.

That's good. We don't have those kind of speeds around here. 28-34 is normal for Verizon lte here.
My download speeds are only averaging 7 mbps on lte on Verizon in NY.
Which bands are you all using?? I left mine on the default and not sure if that'd make a difference.
I tried a few others with not much difference
This is my 3rd replacement. The first one didn't activate, the second overheated and now the 3rd seems to be working well. What I noticed on the 3rd one after reading the forums is the ceramic I'd alittle grippier than the last one which was smooth like glass. The 2nd one was smooth like glass. Before I did the replacement I also weighed it by hand because I read somewhere the new replacements have alittle more weight to it and it did. It was noticeable.
As far as signal. It seems to be on par with my m9. I was surprised I got 117mbps in my town which is in Shentel territory for Sprint but so far everything works great

Hit and Miss
Mine has been iffy since I "officially" added it to my Verizon account (I initially just pulled the SIM from my Pixel, and plopped it in my Essential - Worked like a champ, then I replaced my Pixel with my Essential with customer service, over the phone, and after reboot, it has been hit or miss (it was 3G from the time I hung up with Verizon, until I finished driving from Vegas to SLC). I messed with the carrier settings, and it was LTE+ for a day, then back to no signal the next morning.
Some days 3G is the best I can get, others LTE+ works fine, and some days, 1X or no signal. I've tried changing the settings from Global, to LTE, to LTE/WCDMA to what ever else looked okay). Today, it's been LTE+ most of the day.
