I hope the following information is applicable for all countries....
India's mobile frequencies & bands are
2G : GSM 900 MHz, GSM 1800 MHz
3G : WCDMA/HSPA/UMTS 2100 MHz ---- which are equivalent to BAND 1
4G : TD-LTE 2300 MHz ---- which are equivalent to BAND 40
As you all know only Airtel is providing 4G in india in TD-LTE 2300 MHz.
Two types of LTE -- FDD LTE , TDD LTE (NEW China Standard mainly)
TD-LTE -- Time-division Long-Term Evolution
LTE TDD -- LTE Time-Division Duplex
TDD LTE -- Time-Division Duplex LTE
All above 3 are same I guess...
And the main stream LTE is called FDD-LTE - Frequency-Division Duplex LTE
-------------------------------------------------------------------
OPO International Bands are ----
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2G: GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz
3G: WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/8
-- Which are equivalent to --- 2100 /1900 / 1700 / 850 / 900 MHz ( Frequencies)
4G: LTE: Bands: 1/3/4/7/17/38/40
-- Which are equivalent to --- FDD 2100/ FDD 1800/ FDD 1700/ FDD 2600 / FDD 700 b c / TDD 2600 / TDD 2300
OPO Chinese Bands are ----
-------------------------------------------------------------------
2G: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz
3G: WCDMA: 2100 / 1900 / 850 / 900 MHz
TD-SCDMA：1880-1920/2010-2025MHz
-- Which are equivalent to --- 1/2/5/8/39/34
4G: FDD-LTE :2100/1800/2600 MHz
TD-LTE：1880-1920/2300-2400/2570-2620MHz
-- Which are equivalent to --- 1/3/7/39/40/38
-------------------------------------------------------------------
So for India Both versions should work with all available telecom providers.
Let me know your thoughts guys...
:good:
No 4G on OPO in India
I thought of buying one, but seeing that it uses FDD LTE instead of TD, 4G will not work on this device in India.
WIND Mobile in Canada uses AWS Bands 1700/2100 in Canada. This phone is compatible with 4G 2100 as it shows, but not 1700. Do you think I will have 4G connectivity? Or 3G?
I bought one one from Lenteen and the 4G works perfectly in France with SFR
Does anyone know if flashing CM11S onto China OnePlus Ones will unlock the international bands? The CM11S factory image has a radio image. CM11 builds also include a radio.
Asking because I'm not receiving LTE signal on my China OPO that I've flashed to CM. Then again I have yet to try my SIM on another LTE enabled device...

Well, yes and no. I brought back 3 Chinese OPO from Beijing, and flashed the first via fastboot while transiting in Tokyo - that one would NOT work in any of the Japanese carriers (using two different SIM - Fido from Canada and TuneTalk from Malaysia) while Samsung Galaxy S3 worked fine. The second one I flashed once back in Canada via the standard recovery method as described by GizChina, and that one does not work on AWS band when tested with Wind Mobile SIM while Fido & Speakout SIMs worked awesome
Given my Japanese experience I'm not inclined to think the fastboot flash is any better than standard recovery flash

Has anyone using the OPO on ATT and have no problems with 4G LTE?
I heard some people got it to work but then when it looses LTE connection it doesnt drop to 3G so the connection is lost or the call is dropped.
Please let me know if anyone has this situation happening.
Thanks!
i have chinese oneplus one and i havent use 4g in Turkiye
For those wanting to use the note on different carriers, here are the supported bands. (Taken from the box) In North America, this phone should have full compatability with ATT and ATT mvno's. Bell and Rodgers should also be compatible in Canada.
GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900
UMTS: Band 1 (2100), Band 2 (1900), Band 4 (1700), Band 5 (850)
LTE: Band 4 (1700), Band 12 (700a), Band 1 (2100), Band 2 (1900), Band 3 (1800), Band 5 (850), Band 7 (2600), Band 8 (900), Band 17 (700bc)
Here is a list of LTE networks by country.
Band 3 and 7 are the most popular in Europe. This phone also has band 8 for global roaming in the future.

Thank you I am going to rock the note 4 on T-Mobile until it's paid off. Then switch to Cricket Wireless.
Any try this and make sure it works. I have seen posts about losing lte etc. When using the tmo phone on straight talk or other att mvnos

I had the same concerns. I took a chance and the T-Mobile variant is perfect on AT&T's LTE.
Can you retest your T-Mobile Note4 with Straight Talk

Looking at you ookla speedtest image the ISP is listed as Verizon, do you have FIOS and the phone was connecting to WiFi? I'd appreciate if you can test the connection again and verify that you T-Mobile Note4 with Straight Talk doesn't can get 4GLTE on that AT&T MVNO.

That was through my computer via a wired connection. Throughput via WiFi to my T-Mobile Note 4 seems to be limited by my router (getting kinda old) to 60Mbps both ways.

Exactly! Thank you for clarifying that.
I received my OP5 today, and decided to try my Verizon SIM just for kicks. I was expecting to connect to LTE on band 2 or 4 (both of which are available in my area), but unfortunately I was not able to connect to LTE at all. I connected to 3G fine and was able to use data, just no LTE. I tried adding the vzwinternet APN, and swapped it in SIM 1 and SIM 2, without luck. Has anyone had luck getting LTE on Verizon?
How is that even possible? It's a GSM only phone, no CDMA...
After an OTA, I got LTE.Speedtest shows about 15mbps for downloading

It has CDMA. but only one version of it I think, BC0 or something?

Really? What did you to do get it to work? Did you put it in SIM1 or SIM2? Did you add any APN settings? Did you activate it on Verizon or just swap the SIM?

I withdraw my statement. The signal drop to 3G within an hour. And never got LTE again. So as some people suggest that the LTE of Verizon won't work well on Oneplus 5.
Of course you wouldn't have LTE. Verizon use Band 13 which is not supported by the OP5. Here is a list of supported bands. 3G is the best you're going to get, if you want LTE switch to T-Mobile or AT&T they will work fine.
FDD LTE: Band 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/18/19/20/25/26/28/29/30/66
TDD LTE: Band 38/39/40/41
TD-SCDMA: Band 34/39
UMTS(WCDMA): Band 1/2/4/5/8
CDMA EVDO: BC0
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

Verizon doesn't only use band 13. As I mentioned in my earlier post, I live in an area where Verizon has LTE bands 2 and 4, yet neither work on the OP5 for some reason.
Been using it now for a couple days. Get decent service with Verizon. Switches between LTE and 3G. I also have a tmobs SIM. Been using tmobs for data which is mostly LTE. So between both service providers, I will hopefully have good service everywhere.

I think band 13 is the main one they use. You might get LTE but it will be slow

Band 2 and 4 are what they use for speed and capacity, you can easily get 100Mbps+ on either of these bands in many markets, but again you don't get any LTE on Verizon for some reason.

Probably cos there's no apn settings for that connection so the phone doesn't know how to access it, see if you can find out the apn settings for LTE on Verizon and add a new apn entry

So am I reading this correctly? The OnePlus 5 doesn't work on Verizon? That's a pretty important little piece of information.

It is very well known that OP phones don't play nicely with CDMA carriers....why is this even a discussion?
I'm eyeing this phone to replace my well worn S5. Does anyone know for sure if the x727 variant has the UMTS B4 1700/2100Mhz? The listings on the various Chinese sites are hit and miss, that's why I'm looking for first hand info. Based on my research the x720 appears to have 3G band 4, but it is unclear if the x727 does.
Thanks!
x727 is the NA version, which launched alongside the US version of Le Eco's online store. It supports B2/4/12 and VoLTE + WiFi calling on T-Mobile.
I'm planning to use it on Freedom Mobile in Canada on their 3G network (not LTE), that's why AWS band 4 on 3G is a requirement.
Thanks.

T-Mobile US also relies on 1700/2100 AWS B4 for HSPA/UMTS. LTE discovery shows the LTE band, so I'm not sure how to do the same for HSPA.
I found the FCC application for the x727 and the SAR exposure report lists WCDMA band 4 @ 1700Mhz, so I'm good to go. Coincidentally it appears the device has the highest radiation level on that band.

Thanks for you help.
i have been trying to change the lte bands on my phone for the longest now. i have been following a bunch of tutorials on how to do it but none of them ether hinder nor help mu issue, no matter what i try i dont unlock anymore bands or delete any. i have even tried putting nonsense in the NV section and it dosent remove my current bnads which lead me to believe that for xiaomi phones theirs additional or alternate steps to unlock more bands. has anyone done it before? i need to unlock T-mobile LTE bands
2 (1900 MHz), Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz), Band 12 (700 MHz)
because my company lycamobile is under tmobile

i downloaded that before, but i had no idea it was able to change bands i thought it only monitors and tells you what bands your on.
LTE bands depends on your phone hardware
you just can't add any bands
it's hardware dependant i believe

That app doesn't add bands to your device but lets you choose which band do you want to lock among available bands.

Lol, pardon me for misreading the OP
This guide published here should be useful.
It’s not an easy process and there is rooting required, but it will take you through and work for you. You will also need to have your phone rooted before doing it.
All in all, it’s a complex and scary process, and if you’re not used to meddling in your smartphone’s innards, I would recommend staying away from it.
You might end up bricking your phone and losing it altogether.
Also, depending on why you are doing it, some applications of this solution are illegal and might get you in trouble with your carrier.
So just be careful
One more, according to this site, our phone did not even support those frequency which he wanted to work on his phone.
