I'm curious whether the number of 4g frequencies on the NXT-L29 is limited by hardware or software? What I'm asking is that is it possible to make it also support the 28 band like the NXT-L09?

Is it possible to enable LTE band 40 for MXPE? There are threads on band 12 support for AT&T, could this be replicated for band 40 as well? I am away from the US now, and the carrier offers LTE only on band 40 (Moto X Style has band 40 support, not MXPE )
Does anyone know how to do this? Please share!
Thanks!

Have you confirmed that band 40 doesn't work? Motorola's specs aren't always complete. Also where are you that you need band 40. I think that a Russian, Asia and Australian band.
Hi d2kplus,
Thank you for your quick reply. Yes I have confirmed that band 40 does not work. LTE does not work on my phone, it does on other phones that have band 40 enabled. FYI, I am in India.
I don't believe so - LTE bands are actually HW specific, and the Style and Pure differ slightly on the supported bands, and 40 happens to be one of them that the Style has, but not the Pure.
The difference with Band 12 on the Pure is that it was always physically present, but it was originally deactivated in the original firmware by Moto at the request of TMobile due to some certification issues. The M update just officially enabled what was already there.
Hello to all,
I have a ZenFone 2 Laser (ZE500KL). Asus support said me that is a Taiwanese version.
The issue is that is not working with LTE network in my country, only with 2G and 3G. Here is used AWS1 that is the same AWS band 4 (1700/2100 MHz) 1700 for uplink and 2100 for downlink. Asus support said me that I have nothing to do since is a hardware issue because the antenna doesn't work in 1700/2100.
Is there a way to know if this handset could be enabled to work with LTE AWS Band 4?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards
First thing first, I'm sorry if my reply did not help you, and this is based on my limited understanding...
Simple answers would be nothing, nothing you can do if this is "hardware" limitation as asus told you.
Now the explanation, note that I'm not knowledgeable about this thing, so I don't think could give a meaningful explanation.
From what I've read, LTE, on different country use different band (1700, 2100, etc). And by that, just say *not the real reason, just play along with it*, "device built by limiting hw capabilities to certain band, to work on region A, because that device didn't meant to work/used outside region A" . This might the reason, you could see asus with WW or TW variant. They limit the device hardware to work only with certain band range.
This is hardware, not software/firmware (if you compare it to like some "unlocked provider device") . So you can't do anything about it.
This is like, using CDMA phone with GSM card, they work at different band. AFAIK it didn't work, cmiiw.
Oh, IIRC, old phone (before Android born) mostly have triband (GSM) you might won't be able to use your device outside your country. Then, newer phone, till now, use quad band to support usability around the globe. cmiiw
I hope you get what I'm trying to say there~
I don't know what it mean about LTE aws 1 / aws 4, I don't think this is just band length (1700/2100).

I know this phone support LTE 2 bands carrier aggregration from the website, but i have lag of knowledge about the LTE interband / intraband support. Hope any user able to answer my question

Hi,
Try to read more about 4g+ (where 2 ou more bands can be used at same time)...
Anyone tries to unlock the LTE (4G) Bands on z17 mini?
I would like to unlock the 28 band 700Mhz APT...
Reading now more about unlock in
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64675180&postcount=11
But nobody has unblocked this frequency.
Well, soon as possible, I'll try and back here to post if worked.
I bought an SM-G950U1 (US Unlocked) from Best Buy. Does any one know if it supports TDD LTE Band 40 (2300 MHz)?
There is conflicting information on this! Answers given in various specs vary as follows:
YES (it supports LTE Band 40) --- according to specs given by sellers like Best Buy, B&H, and many online sites like gsmarena, phonearena, frequencycheck.com, etc.
NO (does not support LTE Band 40) --- according to the Samsung support person I talked to over the phone. Also, the FCC filings for SM-G950U do not list TDD LTE Band 40 (they have only one TDD band listed, Band 41, presumably for Sprint). On the other hand, although TDD LTE Band 41 is actually known to work with the SM-G950U1, the official Samsung SM-G950U webpage does not list any TDD band at all, not even Band 41 (it lists only FDD LTE bands).

Does anyone know the real answer here? Has anyone actually tested the SM-G950U1 for Band 40 support in a suitable country (Peru, South Africa, India, Australia)?

I don't have a carrier that would have Band 40, but here is the thread which lists all bands for different versions of S8. You can try asking there as well.

Thanks. I have posted to the thread you mentioned. It is surprisingly hard to find the answer to such a simple question for such a flagship device!

Band 40 LTE is there. Open phone and dial *#2263# and it will list all bands active in the phone, including 40. It is in mine.
Thanks Danny Noman! The *#2263# code did work and showed Band 40. Wonderful!
One question: The *#*#4636#*#* info menu does not seem to work on the S8 (works on many other android phones). Any idea what might be an equivalent for the S8?
So it looks like non of the international S10 models will have support for T-Mobile's Band 71 (600mhz)... This isn't a required band to make a connection to LTE, but apparently this frequency will be utilized as a range extender, and for better wall penetration (indoor connectivity). Seems pretty important...
Is it possible to add support for this band via firmware? Or will there be a hardware limitation?
T-Mobiles lists all their LTE bands on their site as follows; 2, 4, 66, 5, 12, and 71
ALSO, does anyone have any information on where exactly this frequency will be used in the US? Is it really all that important?
Thanks!
