Hi,
I am from India. I planned to buy LG G2 Locked mobile from USA their after I Unlock the phone to use it in India.
now i am confused which model to buy?
there are many models in LG G2 (D800,D801,D802,D803..)
Which one perfectly match with my requirement?
Is it possible to unlock the USA mobile from India?
D802, because that version have the most development, but tje 802 is already sim unlocked?
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
Go with D802. No lock or whatever.
If i go with locked mobile the price is very much low when compared to the unlocked phones.In my country LTE is in developing so i don't want LTE.
so i think Verizon - VS980 mobile work with indian 2G and 3G.

If you have already decided why do you ask...
I got my 802 unlocked. Price: 580 but I had to sign up for a 6 month subscription.
D802 of course because is the international unlocked version and all developers working on that plus i m an owner so go for it,you will no regret it !
How cheap is the US version? The India 16gig version is for $570. You get the added advantage of warranty and an unlocked phone.

Get the phone that has the right radio bands to begin with.
I agree with x714x, you do need to get the one that has the right radios for you. GSM is covered an all versions so you'll get EDGE (2g) and voice service with any version, now the question is, which band does your phone company use for 3g?
Talking about radio bands I bought a D802 thinking the lte will work here in the uk but it does not it don't have band 4 can anyone else confirm this,
It doesn't according to this site http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=5082&c=lg_g2_d802_4g_lte_32gb
D800 and D801
Will D800 and D801 work in India ?

So i am considering buying this phone, but I have only 1 concern about lte on this website: http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_230088.html it says that 4f bands are only:FDD-LTE 1800/2100/2600MHz, so will it work in Canada?? I checked http://maps.mobileworldlive.com/ and It only compatable with 2100, no 1700 is it fine if I only have 1?
Help please!!!
Bump!!
Bump!

Any canadians??
I have ordered the international version and I did some research and basically the bands are dependant on what your network is broadcasting on. If you google what frequency/band your provider is broadcasting on then cross-reference it to the ones supported then you'll know if it works.

Carriers use more than 1 band cause the don't have full coverage with only 1 so sometimes you should have LTE coverage and sometimes don't , I'm in the same dilemma the phone is really good but not having the LTE bands used in US is a deal breaker, I'm waiting to October cause its supposed to be officially released to the US and maybe they'll release a revised version with the LTE bands used here.

Can you check it? Three use 1800 band and have launched their 800 band recently(not wide spread at the moment) which would improve their indoor 4G coverage, EE already use 800/1800 bands,
I think you can probably check in the service menu.
Mine hasn't come yet, I got scammed on zukphone.cc by a PayPal account called [email protected]. PayPal are investigating but my Dad has a OnePlus One and he has 4G on Three so I can only assume it will work.
Any Canadians bought it???
FWIW, I just checked bands/frequencies and as far as I understood even the international version of the ZUK Z1 (weird that their english web-site is at zuk.hk and the chinese web-site is at zuk.com) won't work on Telus/Koodo.

Afaik, the "international" version of the phone is identical to "chinese" version. Only difference is OS preinstalled (Cyanogen OS for international). So basically, it should work in EU, Asia, Australia etc, but not in the US or Canada (of course depending what bands you need).

Oh, I thought I've read somewhere that the International version will sacrifice some of the TDD-LTE bands for more of the FDD-LTE bands, so besides the OS difference I also expected different bands support.
Anyways, the specific band for the network I'm using doesn't seem to be supported. And it's one of the top 3 providers in Canada.
Bump to see if anyone has got it working in canada and with which company.

Hi all!
**EDIT** It is a US996, not an H996, my mistake!****
Ok I am so confused on what to do and hope I can get some insight here
I ordered an LG V20 unlocked from Amazon.com. I fell in love with the phone but within a couple of days it started to develop vertical lines on a portion of the screen. LG can take it in and fix it but I find it's easier to do a return to Amazon. I ordered another and it arrived before I returned the other one.
However!
This one, under the same listing, is a LOCKED T-Mobile version, model H918.
My previous unlocked one is H996.
Geeez!
So my dilemma. I am in the US and return to Canada for the summers. I am with Freedom Mobile (once Wind Mobile) who now is LTE (band 66). When I received my first V20 from Amazon I called LG to inquire if my model H996 would work with them, and if it had band 66....because everywhere online it said it hadn't. I was informed it did indeed have band 66 now....even if it doesn't say it on their site or anywhere else online!
I know from research that H918 has band 66.....but....
1. This replacement cost me 80 more on Amazon
2. I'd have to get it unlocked
3. I very much dislike all this T-Mobile stuff on it that I will not use
4. Probably the worst thing is the T-Mobile Start up. I loved my normal H996 LG start up. I know silly, but true!
So I guess my questions are....
A. Does anyone know about this band 66 thing? I am going to call LG again to confirm that the H996 will work if I have it fixed.
B. Does the H918 have anything that the H996 doesn't have? I've researched on here and apparently it has an FM radio....and more roms available.
C. If I keep the H918 and decide to root it....are there roms that can change the start up into something else other than T-Mobile?
Thanks in advance
The H918 (and some other models as well) have the Band IV or AWS or 1700/1900 on the 3G/3G+/HSPA/HSPA+ frequency set (this Band IV in the 3G band only affects 3G). T-mobile uses Band IV on it's 3G network as well as the same 3G bands as AT&T, Bell, ROGERS, Telus (and Canada's little three including Koodo, Virgin Mobile, and FIDO) (for a long while, T-mobile only had the Band IV in 3G set which is why T-mobile needed it's own phone (but most of this has been replaced by LTE (4G, 4G LTE).
The Band 66 serves as one of the LTE bands on T-mobile and Freedom Mobile in Canada (western Canada only at this point) while LTE Band IV serves eastern Canada on Freedom.
If you are the type that likes to customize your ROMS, you will want a phone BOOTLOADER unlocked or BOOTLOADER unlockable like the T-mobile LG V20, G5, and other phones.
The problem with T-mobile phones in regards to SIM unlocking (i.e. using a ROGERS or EE or Orange SIM) is that the use a Device Unlock app (this has several requirements that have to be met before the phone can be unlocked. One of which it has to be on the T-mobile network for 40 days before it's even eligible).
See http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_v20-8238.php for the details of the various models but it looks like that:
Both the H918 and US996 (not sure if that is the same as H996) have that particular 3G Band (so both will work on T-mobile and Freedom (that uses BAND IV exclusively for it's 3G).
So far, the H918 (T-mobile) and the H915 (Freedom) band 66 are not accessible (I'm guessing a future software update will fix that).
The Freedom Mobile version is not BOOTLOADER unlockable (I already tried) though if someone has found another way to get root, then you should be able to put on custom roms or delete the things from the stock rom you don't like or use (I usually do the latter).
The H918 does have FM radio (not sure about the H915 or other models; otherwise, should be basically same (except the phone radio which determines the frequencies and networks you can access).
Hope this helps.

Oh wow! Thanks so much for the info, I had to read it a couple of times to understand....it's all so confusing!
So basically, I should be sending the T-Mobile one back (H918) and keep/repair the US996....I am in Eastern Canada (Toronto) and don't plan on going west anytime soon, ha ha! I'm fine with keeping it stock too....just as long as it works on Freedom, I'm cool!
Thanks again!!!!
You wouldn't by any chance be interested in a trade would you? Brand new US996 for your H918?
Does Axon7 support 4.5G network? Does A2017 model support it too or just G and U? I've got the Chinese variant and my carrier provide 4.5G network but my phone always show 4G sign and not 4G+ or 4.5G? Is there some settings that should be set?( I've also got a S7 edge and that gets 4G+ network with the same sim card and Carrier.)
Yes a2017g

Mine is Chinese and both sims support just 4G. Although it has Cat6 but I guess the problem is with Carrier Aggregation.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_Advanced
So no 4G advanced LTE for the Chinese variant?
There is no 4.5 G for Axon 7, so we better wait for some time.

You mean it doesn't support LTE+ or 4G+?
These guys have experienced it :
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/Axon7/comments/6z0xv0/lte_advanced_and_the_axon_7/
I see LTE+ on LineageOS sometimes and I speedtest for 105/50mbps
In Poland i have 4G+ (record in speedtest: 142mbit DL).
Axon 7 G-model from Amazon.de.
But no voLTE and no HD voice at this Time.
The Axon7 doesn't show 4G+ directly in notification bar in order to see if you're really getting LTE+, you'd better install Network Cell Info.
Just getting 4G
Mine shows 4G+ on either SIM here in Australia with A2017G.
Maybe the issue is with my carrier. I'm on the latest Chinese stock ROM and not rooted or unlocked and still no sign of LTE+.
But my s7 edge is receiving LTE+ with the same carrier.
Although Axon7 has Cat6 but can't aggregate two or more bands but s7 edge has 3CA according to GSMArena.
https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=7945&idPhone2=8067
I have the European version and yes it has 4G+ but the problem is the axon 7 only supports LTE-CA 1800+2600mHZ but by carrier uses 800+2600mHz, so i can't use it.

I don't know exactly but I think my carrier uses 1800+2600
I just saw 4g+ in my unit today when I travelled to the Manila. Chinese v2.0.0b13 stock rom.
It seems carrier/cellsite specific since I don't get this signal in my place. Just regular 4g there..
So definitely something wrong with my Carrier.
So my carrier supports 4g+ and has both 1800 and 2600 frequencies but I haven't seen any sign of 4g+ yet even when my antenna is full. Some guys say you should get really close to a transmitter to get 4g+ with Axon7 but I don't know where my carrier's transmitters are. Still really confused. It's so disappointing for my Axon7 'cause I 'm easily getting 4g+ out of my S7 edge from the same Carrier.
Guys look what I've found on Chinese ZTE website, info for Axon 7(A2017).
It says only the main sim card slot supports 4G+!!!
Can anyone confirm this?
What about the A2017U and A2017G models???does only the main slot support 4G+ ?(mention your Axon7's model too)
http://www.ztedevice.com.cn/product/smart-phone/AXON-7
I run dual SIMs in my A2017G on Australian B04 Nougat and either of them can get 4G+. You can only run it on one at a time though.
I might update to the German B08 and see if VoLTE can work but not expecting it to here in Australia.
I'm in the UK and about to buy a LG V20 VS995 from Hong Kong off of Ebay. Pretty sure I've checked the available frequencies here especially the 800 & 900MHz bands as these are the ones which travel the furthest and are able to penetrate buildings better than the higher frequencies. I've attached a table of the main UK networks and what bands they use. So can anyone let me know I've got this right before I purchase. Many thanks
Hi
I am in the UK also and currently using O2 with no problems. I have also used an EE SIM again with no problems. The only thing you need to be aware that the VS995 will not pick up the SIM APNs automatically, at least that is what I found, so you will need to find the APN for whichever network you use. There are off-line APN finders you can find via Google. Hope this is of some help.

Hi, the LG V20 VS995 doesn't support ALL the bands used in the UK. It doesn't support one of the LTE bands used by Vodafone - the 2100Mhz band. So if you're on the Vodafone network, you may find that 4G/LTE speeds might be slightly slower.
I got all of this information from frequencycheck.com and it's usually where I get all my information on the bands that smartphones support.
The best option if you want to get a V20 that supports ALL bands in the UK (at this current time), is the LG V20 H990DS (Taiwanese Version).
That is the variant that I own and it supports every single band used in the UK.
The only other variant that supports all bands is the LG V20 H990N (Hong Kong version), but it only has Cat6 capability as opposed to the H990DS's Cat12 capability. Therefore, the maximum speed you'll be able to get is 300Mbp/s on the H990N - whereas on the H990DS you can get up to 600Mbp/s.
I got this information from techwalls.com/lg-v20-model-numbers-differences/
I hope that helped.

I'm not really sure that's true according to gsmarena it does support band 4(1700/2100) admittedly that's not the same as 1(2100). I'm sorry but in my ignorance I don't know . Maybe someone who is more enlightened could tell us what the difference is. See here.
Also the bit about the Cat 6, 9, 12 with LTE does not really bother me. For the VS995 it's LTE-A (3CA) Cat12 600/150 Mbps but for the H990N it's LTE-A (2CA) Cat6 300/50 Mbps. Now I ask you is anyone on this planet going to realistically even touch or even dream of a download speed of 300Mbps on a mobile network. I'm not even remotely getting this on my home fibre and we're watching UHD movies!!
Did find this
LTE Band 1: This is one of the paired bands that was defined for the 3G UTRA and 3GPP rel 99.
LTE Band 4: This LTE band was introduced as a new band for the Americas at the World (Administrative) Radio Conference, WRC-2000. This international conference is where international spectrum allocations are agreed. The downlink of band 4 overlaps with the downlink for Band 1. This facilitates roaming.
I guess I'll soon find out, not sure how though

To be on the safe side, I would just go for the H990N or H990DS. You also don't get the horrible, disgusting Verizon watermarks and logos (software and hardware) if you go with either of the H990 variants. But if you're not going to be using Vodafone, it doesn't really matter - because Vodafone is currently the only UK network that uses B1(2100) for 4G/LTE. Have you already ordered the phone?
i have a h990n in the uk all networks with full 4g
Don't buy CDMA phones for use on GSM carriers, or phones not specific to your region! Though nearly all CDMA phones from Sprint and Verizon in the USA support GSM protocols like 2G: GSM, 3G: UMTS/HSDPA/HSPA+, and some LTE bands, they are not always accessible. VS995 doesn't support Vodafone UK's LTE B1. I ran into problems with invalid sims and poor coverage because not all bands were unlocked by Verizon. If you want a V20 save the hassle and buy a GSM unlocked V20: US996, H990, H910 (won't get OTA, so flash H915 KDZ), H915, H918.

Had a look at the above link and have got the following compatibility
GSM: 2G, 2.5G 100% (2/2)
UMTS: 3G, 3.5G, 3.5G (4G speed) 100% (2/2)
LTE: 4G 75% (3/4)
So I'm chuffed especially after reading this concerning the band/frequency I'm missing...
2.6GHz frequency band
The 2.6GHz band is the other frequency which was auctioned by Ofcom and it’s essentially the opposite of the 800MHz band. So it’s not great at travelling over long distances, meaning that masts need to be closer together to deliver reliable coverage and as such it’s not so suited to rural areas.
It’s also not all that adept at penetrating walls so indoor signal on the 2.6GHz band won’t always be perfect.
But on the other hand with 35MHz blocks available it has a high capacity. So it can cope with thousands of simultaneous connections, which in that sense makes it a good fit for cities and other busy areas.

Out of curiousity were you able to update from Nougat to Oreo? I had a quick preliminary look and didn't see any straightforward method via official channels.

No, very few American V20 users have been able to update to Oreo as the providers have not released Oreo for the phone. To keep ahead with security updates I use a custom Rom on my V20 (Alpha Rom ) but you need to have the Bootloader unlocked and the phone rooted to use it. Hope this offers some clarity.

Will probably stick with the stock ROM for a while until I'm settled in with the phone. Has choosing the Alpha rom negatively affected the performance of the camera or sound quality at all?
Some of the reasons for getting this phone is the renowned DAC and the camera esp in manual mode (apparently auto could be disappointing).

Will probably stick with the stock ROM for a while until I'm settled in with the phone. Has choosing the Alpha rom negatively affected the performance of the camera or sound quality at all?

No negative affects. Alpha Rom is actually based on the last stock Rom from Verizon with some modifications.

Okay thanks for all your help. I'm expecting to get my phone sometime before Christmas
Just looked at the delivery estimate and it was anywhere between Sept 4th and October??th and it was ordered about 10 days ago. I guess it's to be expected coming from Hong Kong.
:good:

No, very few American V20 users have been able to update to Oreo as the providers have not released Oreo for the phone. To keep ahead with security updates I use a custom Rom on my V20 (Alpha Rom ) but you need to have the Bootloader unlocked and the phone rooted to use it. Hope this offers some clarity.

Well picked up my new V20 VS995 today and before I launch myself head long into customising it I've posted some questions in the main thread here I would really appreciate any help you might be able to give. I was going to post it here but I thought that would be unfair to load you with a barrage of questions.
The whole process seems so much more complicated than with my Note 4 and I there is a lot less handholding esp with the AΩ ROM'S initial post. For a relative novice it seems an absolute minefield.
