I am currently debating on getting the LG G6 US997 since my LG G3 died a couple days ago. My question is does the US997 have a working hotspot or is there a work around to use the Wifi Tether?? I have read conflicting reports on the issue and want to be sure before I purchase the phone. I am needing a phone that has a working hotspot to tether my UDP. I am sorry if this has been answered anywhere but I can't for the life of me find an answer. I know the US997 has an unlockable bootloader and has had root and multiple custom roms which leads me to believe that the HotSpot should in theory work or at least have a work around but i just needed to make sure. Thanks
I have the same model.
My hot spot for wifi works great for internet connection
I don't use wifi calling

What Carrier do you use? Are you charged to use the Hotspot?

Hey did you find out whether the Mobile Hotspot feature is present on the US997 and is free to use on whichever carrier worldwide? Or if there's a workaround? I'm outside the US and thinking of buying this phone but I need that feature too.

T-Mobile.
United States only for my use.
I have no experience elsewhere.
No charge.

Ok. I just wish I knew if there is a workaround to unlock the mobile hotspot feature so that I can apply it if I have to. I've read that you can only unlock the bootloader for the H870 and US997 models only. So for instance if I buy the US997 model and it has an AT&T or T-Mobile rom on it then if the hotspot workaround exists for them I don't have to worry.

My Verizon variant doesn't have this. What about the AT&T variant?
If by sharing you mean can it be a hotspot, yes. Mine does. Probably depends upon service plan though.
No. Read that article. The GS7 can share a WiFi connection. In other words, instead of sharing your LTE connection to other devices, it can share it's WiFi connection to other devices by broadcasting it on a different SSID.
A perfect use case for this would be using paid hotel WiFi that charges per device. Pay once on your phone, then share that connection under a different SSID and hook your tablet, laptop, etc. up to it.

That's how I read it too. So 935A's have this feature?

That's what I'm trying to figure out. I'm doing a piece on this feature for Android Police, but I need to verify each carrier's variant as to whether or not the feature is enabled. My 935V (Verizon) doesn't have the feature, but I've been able to verify that Sprint and T-Mobile do. So, can anyone with a 935A verify this for me?

Yes you can share hotspot via WiFi or mobile data. Just tested it couple minutes ago.

Looks like it
Hi all,
I didn't see anything from reading through the forum on using a Sprint HTC 10 on Verizon. It sounds like there's been success with Tmobile and AT&T.
So far, this is what I've found:
-Sprint HTC 10 should have all the LTE bands necessary for Verizon
-Sprint HTC 10 needs to be sim unlocked before anything can be done
-S-Off + root are required for any potential workaround for Verizon, as the appropriate radio needs to be flashed
How far off base am I? I am intrigued because I am on Verizon and I'd like to take advantage of the sprint HTC 10 sale that's supposedly going on right now. Thanks in advance!
I have the same question. I'm trying to jump on that but for T-Mobile. I'm just worried I won't be able to get the device unlocked.
Historically, Verizon and Sprint don't activate each others' phones. They're the two big CDMA carriers that don't use SIM cards, but activate by ESN directly. But there are always those who get lucky.
? anythin
I've been working on that recently. I actually want to be able to switch between Sprint and Verizon.
Sprint has to activate both the phone and the SIM. Verizon has moved to just using SIM cards. I've been able to move a Verizon SIM between devices and have everything work, even on devices that aren't official Verizon devices and even some that only support part of the bands Verizon uses and work on the ones they support.
With the HTC 10, I've been able to get S-OFF and unlock the phone myself since Sprint wouldn't do it. When I put in my Verizon SIM, it recognizes it but for whatever reason is unable to connect to anything but 1X Roaming (probably on Sprint but it won't say). Poking around in CDMAtool hasn't helped much.
I'll update this if I ever figure it out.
Any updates? I'm curious myself. I have the Sprint HTC 10 and am working on finding an MVNO that I like, some of the Verizon ones are tempting.

I got s-off and then unlocked via one of the methods here in xda. Using on t-mobile perfectly. No issues.

By perfectly do you mean volte and Wi-Fi calling are working for you? If so please point to the guide you used. I can't find where anyone using a sprint 10 has gotten those things on T-Mobile.
I would be surprised if a sprint 10 used on Verizon would have that work too but haven't seen any mention of it.

I unlocked the bootloader and installed ViperRom, picking the US Unlocked version as my device. I have working VoLTE, but not wifi calling. (Note, this is on Mint Sim, which uses the T-Mobile network)
yeah it would be great if someone could give a for sure answer to this. I've found a lot of post giving conflicting information all over xda and r/htc10 about this. I would love to buy a used sprint htc 10 (seems to be the cheapest version by far) and use it on a verizon mvno, but until I know for sure it works I' not going to do it.
I'm curious if its possible I havent bought this phone yet. I want to ask if its possible before I spend the money.
It works on verizon. Just put in the sim.
Unlocked us997 on different networks.

I'm using mine on Verizon with no issues. Just popped the SIM in.
I have a LG K20 Plus from MetroPCS. the phone is already unlocked and it only receives 2G signal when I am using outsode USA.
I checked APN and every other setting I could find through internet but the problem still remains the same.
Does anyone know how to access the hidden network menu and activate the necessary baseband to get 4G?
3845#*260# ----->>> secret menu for lg phones
didn't work.
*#546368#*260#
Field test, then modem settings, rat selection. Then you can choose 2g/3g/4g etc. Gsm/wcdma is just 3g(hspa). Gsm/cdma/lte is 4g obviously.
Theres a ton of other settings within that service menu also
Hello please i have entered the code and followed the instructions but its still not working
Which company are you trying to use outside the US?
The K20 has a pretty limited selection of LTE bands, it may not support your carrier. There is no practical way to add LTE bands unless your'e a wiz at editing hexadecimal in the baseband nvram, like some have done for Samsung Galaxy phones.
*#*#4636#*#* will get your phone to test mode
Sent from my LG K20 Plus using XDA Labs
Help needed urgently!!!
Have a similar issue....from Nigeria specifically....Can someone pls post a tutorial on how we can enable additional LTE bands or at least get a 3G network on this phone ..its really frustrating working with 2G...
HELP NEEDED URGENTLY!!!
I have the same problem in Switzerland. It works with 2G but can not switch to 4G on my LG K20 Plus. It is unlocked but I got it in the US with Metro PCS.
Help much appreciated!
Having the same problem here in the Philippines, can someone help. 2g is not helping me but stressing me out!
K20 does not receive 4g connection outside of US.

Welcome friend...we are all stuck with 2G on this fone
Hello!
I found this V35 bidding on ebay which according to the seller's title it is AT&T unlocked.
Before i buy it,i want to know if i can use it in Europe..will it work for 2g,3g and 4g networks?
Do i have to flash another rom for it to work on my network?
Thanks in advance!
I bought an AT&T branded phone on ebay. It was advertised as unlocked. It wasn't and did not work with a non AT&T sim card. If you end up in that situation, it is easy to buy a sim unlock code from a service like codes2unlock.com. The phone works great seemingly everywhere! It can be rooted too if you're into that.

Oh thank you very much for this info.
Basically i don't really have it with rooting,but i was thinking of just flashing a new stock rom that could remove all AT&T bloatware.
I've read somewhere that this is possible to do via a ULM version kdz rom.

Korean V35 user here. I'm also from Europe and the phone works just fine in my country. Though, Korean software is annoying because it thinks it's constantly in roaming and is very conservative when switching networks, but I know the hardware is good because a rescan always finds me a 4G network. Anyways, I'm sure that flashing ULM rom will fix that, I just don't have the time needed to mess around with that atm.
Enjoy your new phone

It is so nice to hear that you can use it in Europe.
It's a really wonderful and hardware strong device,and on the other hand so beautiful without all these ugly notches.
It is a real shame of LG that left European market out..they always find a way to shoot theirselves on feet.
And hey..i don't own it yet,i just watched it on a bid,but thanks anyway for the wish)).
And for sure i will keep looking for it until i find one i like and can afford the cost of course,because extra cost for tax and import charges is about 70 euros more than original price.
Thank you for the infos anyway!
