H870 in the USA - LG G6 Questions and Answers

Hi xda community,
I brought my new LG G6 from abroad to the USA and my carrier is AT&T. However, don't get a LTE/4G connection, H only.
My older G4 gets 4G right away and the G6 covers all the G4 specs and AT&T actually offers the G6 as well. Any advice or is it just not possible?
Thanks

Would you be so kind as to post the details of your APN configuration. The 2 screenshots only included the APN names and the Mobile Network settings. I was able to get H working from another post on this forum, but still can't get 4G. TIA!

Did you set "Network mode" to "GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto" as well?

Yes, and it seems to stick between reboots.
Could you kindly post again your complete APN configuration.

[Q] Making carrier settings stick

Hey guys, I'm having problems making my carrier settings stick on my phone.
Almost all of the rest of the settings did stick such as phone, but don't have 1X or EVDO, because the MIP and PPP settings keep resetting back to Verizon's.
Can anyone please help me out with this?
Thanks.

What carrier?
It's a mexican one, called Iusacell.
I got to type some values with MDN on MIP, and others with MEID on PPP; it seems that those tabs are the ones that are locked...sadly.

New to Focus on Rogers

Hello All,
I just got a AT & T "unlocked" samsung focus. I plan to use it on rogers and been reading the forms for a few days as see their may be issues.
Can i just put in my SIM card and hope for the best? I was wondering how hard is it to set up the APN settings and MMS settings on the focus? IF i try to update my Focus to Mango will it relock it self?
Is their anything i should know about using an unlocked AT & T phone on the rogers network?
Thanks and sorry for all the questions.

Once SIM unlocked, the phone does not re-lock if you update/flash/downgrade/upgrade the rom or use another SIM or hard reset the phone.
Secondly, you will need the "Network Profile" app from Samsung to switch the network profile from AT&T to Rogers. You'll find it in Marketplace, in Apps (not Samsung Zone).

Thank you,
When i search the marketplace ( w ww.windowsphone.com/en-CA/marketplace) for Network Profile i do not seem to find anything. Should i be searching it on the phone and not on the internet?

On the phone, yes. Connect through wi-fi if you don't have a data plan (faster anyway). In Zune you won't find it through search.
Just downloaded the app and i only see AT & T and no choice to change it.
any help?
Thanks

You might be better off to flash it with the Rogers ROM if you plan on keeping it for a while. Trust me you'll have less issues.

That's also another solution, but flashing is time consuming and a bit radical. But if you're at the very beginning of your journey, it's definitely something to consider.

This with a Rogers SIM? Very weird, should display current carrier and AT&T.
Can you check with a different SIM? (either Rogers and/or any other carrier than Rogers/AT&T)
Is this hard to do? Can you please send me a link to show me how? (that is how to flash it for rogers)

Yes it does.
I wonder if flashing my device to a rogers rom will fix the gmail(same error msg) issue along with the timestamp issue.
I now get the Error Code: 80072efd

Sometimes, that doesn't get fixed for me.
Deleting and recreating the account works every time, though

You are right. Edited the old post to contain the link as well. You can get it from here. Don't forget to thank PavelX1 for the rom.
Flashing to Rogers ROM is about an hour of time. I would suggest adding any SD cards (if you are expaning memory size) after. If you already have a card there be sure to back it up if you have anything important before you flash the unit. It will erase evertyhing!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131022
It should go failry easy. I've flashed to the ROM, also to AT&T and back again about 4 or 5 times now. Very simple tool to use.
thank you! it was quite easy to do.
How long does the battery last most users? So far i am finding that i get about 6-7 hours of meduim use. It seems a bit short.
Thanks

Define medium use.
I get about 1 day with WiFi and 3G on + some usage.
3G no wifi or Bluetooth. 1 hour of emailing and playing a game for an hour or so.

Nexus 6p Radio band selection menu possibility

Hey guys I was wondering is it possible that we can make a piece of software that can give us the ability to select the radio band manually? Any thoughts or comments will be appreciated.

I believe there is a service menu, I'm currently looking for that myself. There is an app called lte discovery but that may only let you see which band your on.

thank you that does let you choose which preferred network to use, but I think op wants to set specific bands of the network. On my old s6 there was a code that let you set these to whatever you wished, but have tried it and doesn't work.

*I added screenshots to help set what I set or how my good lock looks.*
I have a T-Mobile S8+ on Sprint network, and OTA keeps failing.
Can I just ODIN T-Mobile S8+ with Sprint's RIB firmware when it comes out?
Will I lose data?

they was added by sprint in the newest update
it was not like this before the update
XCAP is a protocol which enables a user configuring his service data (e.g., modifying a call forwarding number, changing his barring services) on the Multimedia Telephony Application Server (MTAS). The XCAP flow is typically carried over the default bearer of the Internet APN.
SUPL is a technology which utilizes existing standards where available and possible, to transfer assistance data and positioning data over a User Plane bearer, such as IP, to aid network and SUPL Enabled Terminal (SET) based positioning technologies in the calculation of a SET's position

The new October Patch is nice so far....they have disabled Calling Plus but gave u the real feature
which is under connections and then voice networks and you will see VoLTE

Besides that we got AR Emojis and now super slow motion.

Internet issues after update to Pie

Hey, I've updated to Pie since 2 months and the data connection on the phone is horrible. Apps will randomly report no network or no connection. Is there a way I can reinstall the radio?
The phone is usable and everything else works but the bad data connection and it dropping out is really annoying.
