Hey, I've used xda plenty in the past before but never had to post a question so bear with me.
I bought a att lg g2 and a tmobile sim to go with it. I can only get 3g, no lte. Its very slow. I did some reading and it looks discouraging. I live in south texas.
Is there anyway to turn on the radio bands i need to make 4g/lte work? I saw a thread about how to turn on lte for custom roms. Will that work or not? I think tmobile uses bands 17 19 and 21. There are those bands in the hidden menu on my phone but idk. It looks like some att lg g2s work with tmobile lte and others do not. Thanks for your help.
Ps. Im on another forum where the attitude towards noobs is like xda's so take it easy on me lol.
First thing first, have you rooted, unlocked the phone and bootloader?

Yes, its rooted and unlocked for different carriers. Su is installed but not a custom recovery. Im not really interested in installing a custom rom at this point.
From the carrier pages:
AT&T LG G2 has bands 1,2,4,5 & 17
T-Mobile LG G2 has: 2,4,7 & 17
7 is 2600MHz so it's not relevant for the US
I would say it's not a phone capability problem
The T-Mobile LG G2 has a seting in networks for network mode: GSM, WCDMA, GSM+WCDMA, GSM+WCDMA+LTE
The same can be achieved with the Phone Info app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=myc.phone.PhoneInfo
Also make sure you are using the fast.t-mobile.com APN http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090
That apn you linked above does not work on my phone. I talked to a tmobile rep this morning and thats the one he gave me. When that one didnt work i got referred up the line to a rep that sent me texts with setting patches that supposedly set my phone up like a tmobile one but i didnt get 4g/lte from that and it wasnt the lte apn. I did, however, find another fast.tmobile.com apn with a little bit different settings than the one linked above that gave me 3g. Im at a loss, I guess.
LTE works fine on this phone, I use a D800 on T-Mobile, you just need the LTE APN. That's what I use on mine.

Im using the apn from this link and no 4g. Just edge. Its a lte apn tutorial. I know i have tmobile lte in my area. Thanks for the help so far tho.

Do yall think it would be possible to install a tmobile kernel to maybe turn on bands that i need for tmobile lte? Tmobile uses bands 1700 and 2100. In some areas, it looks like, att phones do have tmobile lte .

Only use D800 kernels on this model.

Make sure there is a dash in t-mobile in fast.t-mobile.com
Did you ever get this fixed?

Thanks for Attached Thumbnails, I changed mine to match, and it works.
But it does take sometime to connect, especially inside house.
I'm running CM11 nightly 12/26.
I want to purchase a Sprint GS 7 and sim unlock to use on GSM carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile.
What is the process official and other options for sim unlock.
Never had Sprint service before, thanks for your assistance.
First step is to not stick a sprint sim card in the phone. I played around with mine without a sim card and to get the stupid vr game promo i stuck the card in and next thing it did was install all the carrier garbage bloatware automatically and it changes the boot screen and to my understanding it sim locks to the carrier that the sim card uses. Complete bullsh!t I am irate and stuck with all of this garbage bloat courtesy of sprint and the locked bootloader thanks to samsung. Im returning mine
I bought my sprint s7 full price through best buy.
First thing I did was swap the sprint Sim with my AT&T Sim (testing first Sim inserted). Prompted with invalid Sim error.
Appears the sprint phones come with activation software pre-installed that locks it to their network. You need them to unlock it from their end, no unlock codes.
When I put the sprint Sim back in, it didn't install all the bloat. It installs everything if you activate the phone; unactivated Sim, no account.
According to sprint, the phone needs to be activated on the network for 50 days and paid in full to be unlocked. They unlocked mine without meeting those standard because of poor support from a rep before I bought it.
After you get it unlocked, you can just insert any sim (gsm/cdma) after?
I don't see any settings to change the network mode.
I'd like to know the same. I'm traveling over seas in less than two week and would like to use while over seas with the local carrier. Not so much concerned with using it with other carriers domestically though.
I'm also curious if the phone can be used for data on other carries once unlocked. I wonder because with my current Sprint GS5, Sprint unlocked it, but it does not work with data when over seas. Come to find out after a lot of research, there is no solution and everybody with unlocked Sprint GS5s also cannot get data to work without wifi.
OP, you may want to keep that in mind and do your research. If Sprint's GS7 is like their GS5, you will not be able to get data on the phone with other carriers even if unlocked, unless connected to wifi.
Yes, any Sim CDMA or GSM will work. And data works perfectly for me. The s7 is the same device for every carrier where the only thing that changes is the software.
Here's a screenshot of my sprint phone on cricket with data.

With the Sprint model, there will be LTE issues overseas depending on where you go and which carrier you use.

I went to UK in 2013, had my S4 with me and was able to get data. I was not, however, able to get fast LTE speeds. Sprint cripples their LTE bands on purpose for some reason so that they become less useful on many international carriers.

The main difference between models on each carrier are bloatware they add and LTE bands they add and delete. Sprint always gets rid of useful LTE bands like LTE 7 which is a popular worldwide band.

Correct. Cricket is owned by AT&T, a carrier who did not get rid of band 7, despite the fact that they use Sprint's 3G network as well as CDMA. Do you have bands 25 and 26 as well? If so, that would be great!

I don't actually. Knowing this I'm going to focus on attempting to add these bands (toggle them). Trying to get a hold of Sprint currently to get my MSL code.
The Galaxy S7 is DUC meaning it can be unlocked for domestic use, and it will automatically unlock tru a programming update sent OTA after the device has been active on the account(in good standing) for more than 50 days.

For those not in good standing, or who don't feel like waiting, find somebody with a Z3X-box, like myself, on craigslist. $45 (or usually in that area,) takes us 5-10 minutes, don't need root, and doesn't need to be clean. =]

##3282#
Just bought a sprint s7 yesterday since it was cheaper for me and had it unlock from an ebay listing for about $15. It was quick like 2 minutes and easy. Its done remotely on the person's end with your phone connected to computer. I'm using it on Tmobile and is working great. I get lte speeds and call quailty is great. Getting to the service menu above ##3282# you can edit the band priorities so you can have the wanted bands 1st, 2nd, and so forth. Just need the MSL# which they can get you.
If this is against the rules sorry, but just thought I give my experience with unlocking the sprint s7.
I'm trying to find detailed specs without luck, can someone please clarify which LTE bands the Sprint variant of the S7 has?
Please list all that are physically on the radio, and specify if they are actually available for use or blocked.
I have a Samsung Note 3 that I bought from Mobilicity (Canada).
It is unlocked.
When I put my Wind Mobility SIM card in, the data says 4G.
I want to give the phone to my sister, who broke hers, but she is with Rogers.
I put her Rogers SIM in my phone and everything works great.
But, I don't understand why the phone says 3G with her Rogers SIM in it.
Does anyone know why? I was under the impression that Rogers is faster than Wind's data. So how can Wind be 4G but Rogers 3G.
Both carriers have the same model number of the Note 3.
Wind has 4g? Maybe the Rogers card is not an LTE sim?
Could be any number of reasons:
- The provider isn't enabled for 4G in the Build.prop.
- The SIM is too old.
- The SIM doesn't support LTE
Probably the first. The list of 4G enabled providers rarely makes sense. It is literally just a matter of 'true' or 'false'.
We had a similar issue in the EU with various firmwares when 4G became available, every CSC has its own list of 4G enabled providers. For instance, DBT (Germany) had 4G enabled for T-Mobile NL, while the T-Mobile NL firmware didn't have 4G enabled for itself.

Hmm... I'll ask my sister to check her SIM card. But I doubt they would have given her the wrong "new" SIM card that she just got.
If the Rogers sim card is new, it would be a LTE-enabled card so that can't be it. Also, Wind only has a 3g network.

Okay... but like I said, when my Wind SIM is in, my Note 3 displays 4G.
When my sister's Rogers SIM is in, it shows 3G.
With the Wind sim, is it connected to the Wind network or is the phone roaming? Is the phone set to auto/LTE in settings? The phone is running a completely stock ROM? Phone is the sm-n900w8?

It's connected to the Wind Network... it's not roaming.
Under "Network Mode" it says:
WCDMA/GSM (auto-connect).
Wcdma/gsm appears with the wind card or Rogers card?
I've seen Samsung phones with stock firmware incorrectly displaying 4G for Wind, even though Wind's network is 3G.

Wind is 4G.
Wind mobile has HSPA+ but friends that have their service usually get 3G.

Okay thanks for this comment above. It was helpful because it got me searching for more along that line.
When I went into the settings, there was no option to choose LTE, but I know it's an LTE capable phone because the box said it was, and the sticker on the phone said 4G/LTE.
So I did some searching and found that there is a code that you have to use to set the phone to the Network you are using if you want to make use of the LTE.
Rogers has LTE.
I will go into a Rogers and ask them to do it, because I don't want to ruin my sister's phone (my phone that I gave to her, because her's broke).
It's *2012# (IMEI)* Something like that. I have it written down, so I'll bring it to the Rogers store and ask them.
Hopefully that will get her phone working on Rogers LTE, but in the meantime, she hasn't noticed a difference in data speed anyway.
But thanks for your help, and also to everyone else who posted a reply. :victory:
Have a similar thing going on with EE.
Supposed to choose 4g if available but it's not always the case.
Sometimes shows 3g or H+ but if I change my network mode to LTE only then I get 4g no problem.

I don't have the phone anymore. My sister has it, so I can't check. She's technically challenged, so I wouldn't even be able to get that info from her on the phone. Lol
But I will see if I need to turn on the other bands by using that code to set it to Rogers' service.
Just purchased the unlocked version of the S8. I'm able to get an LTE connection just fine, but I've yet to establish a 3G connection in places that I can on the Verizon version of the S8. Has anyone on Verizon, been able to get a 3G connection on the unlocked version? To be clear, SM-G950U1 is the unlocked Snapdragon US variant, that just started shipping on 5/27, not the unlocked international exynos variant.

No, there is not. In fact, the locations of settings within the settings menus are laid out completely different. There is an advanced menu, and within that menu, the only thing phone related is an option to "identify spam," which is a replacement for Verizon's Caller ID service, only it's native to the S8 and doesn't cost anything. It appears that it's the "hiya" app, baked into the phone.
I have not had an opportunity to visit an LTE dead zone. However, in the past, when I have exited my parking garage or elevator (where I've dropped coverage) my phone's typically show a 3G connection first, and then moments later they will then show a 4G connection. With this phone, it takes longer to connect, and when it does, it connects to 4G, bypassing the 3G part of the process I described. That's what brought me here.
That said, I think I've answered my question:
According to Samsung's website the US variant of the unlocked S8 supports these bands/frequencies:
Network
Frequencies and Data Type
B1(2100), B2(1900), B3(1800), B4(AWS), B5(850), B7(2600), B8(900), B12(700), B13(700), B17(700), B18(800), B19(800), B20(800), B25(1900), B26(800), B28(700), B29(700), B30(2300), B66(AWS-3)
According to Wikipedia, Verizon operates it's 2G/3G network over B0(850) and B1(1900). Of all the bands Samsung listed, I believe the Verizon ones are all LTE.
So, I guess the answer is that the unlocked S8 does not support Verizon's 2G/3G network, and I better hope that I don't end up in an area where Verizon only offers 3G. HTC's new U11 is the same way.

Direct from Samsung. I haven't, but my understanding is that you're on your own when it comes to unlocked devices. I don't think it does support CDMA, now that I've researched it more. See prior post explaining why.

I've seen your explanation, and it's very logical. The only problem is it directly contradicts what the back of a 955U1 box says - "Wireless voice, data, and messaging services compatible with most major U.S. GSM and CDMA networks." It also contradicts how Samsung did the S7/S7 Edge, being compatible with all four networks in the U.S.
Again, I'm not saying your wrong, but given that the G955U is the model used on all U.S. carriers and has full band compatibility, it just doesn't make sense that Samsung would do this. And yes, I know, Samsung doesn't have to make sense...

The band types you listed are only for LTE. Band numbers for GSM, And CDMA are different.
Try the dialer codes to see what RF bands are enabled. Dial *#2263# in the phone dialer to get the menu. Dialing *#0011# will give you current status of Cell radio.
I'm certain the phone has the required radios and antenna to support all Carrier network cell types but whether it's enabled is another story.

Do those dialer codes work for you? I can't get them to work on neither the Verizon SM-G950U nor the unlocked U1 that I have.
And yes, that's what my advanced calling menu on my Verizon S8 looks like as well. The unlocked version doesn't have that. Only an option to turn on VoLTE. No Video nor WiFi calling. Also, there's no visual voicemail, which sucks.
The codes do not work for me on my VZW phone., but works on my TMO phone.
I'm wondering if it's SIM dependent.

I was able to test another unlocked version today, and it had no problems connecting to Verizon 3G, so I guess I just have a bad device. If anyone else runs into this issue, exchange it.

Stumbled upon this thread while researching an unlocked S8 / SM-G950U1 for use on Verizon.
I found this web site, showing it is fully compatible with Big red.

I recently bought an S7 edge unlocked SM-G935F Exynos version. I am currently using it on T-Mobile and have VoLTE and WiFi calling after flashing the TMobile CSC. However, I cannot get the right bands working for Carrier Aggregation. When I go into ServiceMode, the only CA combinations showing are :
7C(A)
7A-7A(A-n)
There's nothing about bands 2, 4, or 12 that T-Mobile uses. I've tried using various ROMs and CSC tools to try to get the correct bands for CA to show up but nothing. Does anyone have any insight on how to get this enabled? I saw something a year old on reddit but the details were a little vague.

Tried what was mentioned in that article. It didn't work. No idea why the CA is also only showing Band 7 when T-Mobile only uses 2,4,12.
What's even more strange... I brought the phone overseas to Taiwan last week, popped in a Chunghwa Telecom SIM, and all CA band combos for LTE bands 3,7,8,28 showed up without any issues and the phone was lightning fast.

Check with another US SIM card and see if the T-Mobile card's behavior or the Taiwanese one is replicated.
Try with a Metro, Cricket or AT&T card.
Also, on which network was this phone previously used? Because I am not sure if I'm right but if it was used with a CDMA network, it might not work with GSM US networks (not sure about it tho).

Also, on which network was this phone previously used? Because I am not sure if I'm right but if it was used with a CDMA network, it might not work with GSM US networks (not sure about it tho).

I know the previous owner on Swappa said that he used the phone with Cricket, but no clue if he checked if CA was working. Also I thought the Exynos varieties didn’t have any support for CDMA.
