[q] lte issue need help plz - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
So im from a ****ty country ( Lebanon ) and today I decided to upgrade my phone from 3G to 4G LTE..
I was shocked to go to my provider and once I took the new sim card they told me that the D820 is not compatible with their network and currently only D821 are supported.
If I knew that earlier ofc I would've bought the D821 version but I guess its too late now..
Anyway my question is:
Can anyone help me with this issue and maybe a way to convert D820 to D821 or a way to fix this issue.. coz literally 3G SUCKS !!
all help appreciated..

Well i think its not possible because the change can't be done with any soft-mod and two variants use different hardware chips for LTE connectivity..!

Sell the D820 and get D821, else live with 3g. U still get HSPA+

Why is that a dumb reply? You won't get LTE in Leb with the 820 as it doesn't have the proper bands. So if you want LTE you'll need the 821. Simple as that.

Sounds like you got rickrolled into purchasing a phone. Lawl.
No 3G. Baseband chip only supports 3G on 1700 and 2100. AT&T uses 850 and 1900 so it will never get 3G on AT&T unless the TMO merger goes through (highly unlikely) and they keep the TMO frequencies (again highly unlikely).

The only phones that support AT&T and T-Mobile bands is high end NOKIA devices
N8, E7, E6
Its Symbian and sad to say, it's not in the same league as Android.
And trust me, I'm even looking for AT&T phones only to have options for any type of GSM carrier. Mostly because of pre-paid devices use AT&T or T-mobile bands
Its not a total loss. You could get Simple Mobile No contract plans. You'll get 4G. Its not AT&T but its only way you'll get high speed on the G2X.
And if you are on AT&T contract, you did get suckered into buying a phone. Live and learn I say.
You could always sell it to somebody else.

Yeah it's a bit much, but they're still begging for help when they've already been answered with the only answer possible:
You cannot use 3G on the T-Mobile G2x on AT&T. No software could possibly solve this. It is a physical limitation in the hardware modem. It might be somehow possible to rip the current modem out and solder a new one in and redo the base hardware drivers etc etc but that would be far more trouble than it is worth.
So, you can't use 3G on the T-Mobile G2x on AT&T. Period. Fin. End of story. Close thread please..
Could someone help with my phone problem? I have wifi data connection but no 3g connection. I'm with a provider like t mobile ... videotron... same bandwidth ... but I never see any 3g icons or something else... how to configure that?

Go into your settings, wireless & networks, mobile networks, access point names and set up a new apn for Videotron. Don't as her for the information to enter. Google for it. You should set up one for internet and one for mms.

Galaxy S2 HD LTE - it's a Nexus with an SD slot? Why isn't anyone importing them?

I saw one of these in Korea but couldn't figure out if it had the appropriate bands to work on AT&T. It looks like a slight bigger s2. Beautiful.
Anyone out there got one working on AT&T? If yes, I'm amazed that no one is importing them.

This isn't the same phone, the korean S2 HD LTE has the same 720p screen as the galaxy nexus.
ahh my bad, you are right, i didn't read the HD portion
yes, the HD version of SGS2 is the basically the same as NG, but with the added SD card support
i'd have purchased that phone if they made it available with 1700/2100
but the SGS2 HD works just fine for ATT 850/1900
Where have you seen it has the 850 band. Does anyone k ow anyone who has one working on AT&T?
just google up the full specifications
you can do 3G
but you wont get LTE
The Rogers Samsung LTE supports 1700 2100. Its just not HD though.

the normal LTE is not the same as HD LTE
That's just the point... It's not the Same as the LTE. and obviously I have googled it... The info just isn't there. That's why I'm trying to find out if anyone has the HD version working in the US... on AT&T .

Don't think the LTE will be compatible.
Seeing that its only sold in korea i just don't see it having much of a following on here, forget about tons of roms let alone cyanogen mod for it.

Korea LTE runs on 800 Mhz
ATT LTE runs on 700 Mhz
the SGS2 HD LTE is made for Korea 800 Mhz
as i mentioned above in the previous reply
I feel ya homey I want one too, but wondering if it will work isn't my problem, all I,m waiting on is how, where, and when do I get this hd beast I'd rather have this over the nexus camera I'd better and he'll eventually it will get ics, so as soon as anyone see's a website selling them please let us all KNOW

What research did you do? G2x has bands I and IV. Telcel uses II and V.

Where'd you find that? Telcel's website says otherwise.
so the tmo part is easy i went to tmo then i searched but couldnt find anything directly from telcel but i did find this site and a few others that all matched i cant put a link cause im a new guy but its gsmworld
im definetly a noob but it seems the numbers line up that telcel uses 850/1900/2100 and the g2x supports them the band I and IV i dont know much about. Just thought if the numbers matched id be gtg!!! hopefully i can get some luvin and somebody can fix me up and not tell me im a fool!!

From Telcel's website: "TELCEL's network is 1900 Mhz for GSM and 850 Mhz for 3G"
850Mhz UMTS (band V) is not supported for the g2x. In short, you're stuck on edge with that phone.
I have some choice words for that setup bit don't think.xda would approve!! I'm still slightly confused with the diiference on the bands and bandwidths they should.make the numbers not the same so a following like me can understand easier! well thank you vet much for your help

You have to get a device that uses the same bands. Devices in the US use different bands depending on the carrier. You won't be able to do anything about it on the inspire

Do you realize there is a huge difference between CDMA and GSM right. In the us they all use different 3g bands.
You should always research your device before you by it. Mainly if buying a device from another county

The best thing to do is find out what bands your carrier uses. Then compare it to the ones for a phone you like. If att doesn't work then T-Mobile maybe a better option as they use the Euro bands where ATT doesnt

Your best bet is to use probably a t-mobile phone from US or phones from SE asia and europe for indian subcontinent countries. AT&T based 3G phones will probably wont work there...but again like zelendel said, check it out with your service provider first...

Log in on the Vivo website and tell me the name of the plan they put for you.
Last week when I called them to get the 4G plan they put me on Multivivo 4G+ which is totally different from Smartphone 4G+.
I wasn't getting 4G at all. Later they found their mistake and fixed it. Now I get 4G perfectly.
hmmm mine is corporate... they told me to wait up to 24hrs bs.... anyways, i need to wait, otherwise i'll call again and make sure i'm on "smartphone 4g+"? that is the correct one?

It should be listed as SMART ILIM 4GPL 60* SMS+DDD-TIT
*60 is the amount of minutes you get from the plan. It can be a different number depending on the plan you get.
