[Q] Is it possible to change the LTE bands on this phone?

Ok so I bought this phone online without knowing much about frequencies and such.
Now I have it and I'm unable to use anything other than edge service! I freaking love this phone but the poor connection leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
The phone supports bands 1, 3, 5, 7, & 17. And LTE 1800mah & 2600mah frequencies.
Is it possible to get my phone to accept USA frequencies?
Thanks for all input in advance!

AT&T uses band 2,4,5 and 17. I am using F350 on band 17 just fine.

Thanks for your reply.
I have the d838 model.
Your phone connects to AT&T's LTE service on band 17?

Band 17 is the main AT&T LTE band. I don't believe the D838 can connect to Band 17 LTE700.

LTE Lost on D838 LG G Pro 2
Can any one tell me why the option of LTE/4G has lost?
How can I restored it?
I never Root my phone, my last Android Version is D83810f.
Thank you,
Best Regards,

I have 10f Version on it and no Option 4g.
With 10e have 2g/3g/4g

Install the 4G Switch app from the playstore and you'll be able to enable the 4G/LTE. With this app you can even change the GSM/UMTS band (Auto, Euro, USA, Japan, AUS)
or
Enter this 5457#*838# into dialer (which will get you to the service menu) from where you can enable the 4G/LTE .

Lte works with 10f with this trick 5457#*838#,but when you go in the settings 2g/3g switched lte automatic off,you must go back to 5457#*838# and turn on the lte,this is not good.
I go back today to 10e and in the settings have 2g/3g/4g and no must go back in the hidden menu.
Sorry for my bad English,i hope you understand me.

Hi,i found a Trick,delete or copy to Sd Card LteConfig.apk and LteConfig.odex in System/app.
You have 2/3/4g in settings.
Your Phone must be rooted!
On next reboot goes this automatic on 2/3g,but you can go manualy on 2/3/4g

Flashing Another Model's Modem ?

Hey Guys!
So I have just gotten an S7 (930S) and apparently, there is a mismatch between the bands present in the phone and the one offered by my network. I would like to know if I flash 930F modem on my phone would that be ok or not? I just want to flash the modem as well as the CSC of the 930F model. I hope someone can take the timeout to reply to my query.
Thanks

Yes you can, hardware is the same. However when you talk about network bands I assume your talking about the difference between networks using GSM and networks using CDMA? In which case you need to flash firmware which uses CDMA radios.

Well, when I am talking about Bands I am talking about the frequencies in which they operate. For example, my network offers the UMTS 900 frequency, but that frequency is missing from my current modem.
Therefore, I am assuming that if I flash the 930F model's modem, which does supoort the UMTS 900 frequency, I will be able to operate on the UMTS 900 frequency. Can you confirm me on that?
Or will I have to flash the 930F firmware on my phone to operate on the UMTS 900 frequency?

Yes 930F will work and install the radios you require.

The problem I am facing right now is that although the modem (Shannon335) on my phone (G930S - Korean) is the same as that on the international model (930F). But my phone (G930S) does not support one of the bands that my network supports which is UMTS 900 and that band is supported on the international version , although hardware wise (both are Shannon335) they are both the same.
So, I was thinking if i change my modem, currently its a South Korean modem and flash the international version modem could it work and make the band work for me?

Yes it should work

Thank You very much.
I would also like to know how should I choose and which modem to flash on my phone. Which things should I match and what to avoid during the flashing process. I have currently U1 security level modem, so when I flash another modem should it be U1 level as well?

To avoid problems you must match the modem to the version of firmware you are using, so yes U1 to U1. Flash the modem separately via Odin

Hi,
This is not how that work, bands can't be enabled through software AFAIK, that's why OnePlus sells different Variants of the same phone.

Unfortunately not, you had to buy the T-Mobile OnePlus 8 to be able to use their 5G

Unlocking the bands on an Indian 8T (KB2001) possible?

If I have an Indian 8T (KB2001), would I be able to install a global/beta ROM (if and when available) and be able to unlock the bands so that I can use it in USA? 5G bands (n71, n41 , n260, n261) and bands 66, 71 is not available in the Indian version but present in the US model.
Just wondering whether a software update would turn this on as I believe it's the same hardware but the software hides it? Just a wishful thinking on my part, of course.

Unlocking 5G-bands is not possible. Phone example missing mmwave-antennas so n260, n261 bands doesn't work and I think it's not ready for even low bands. n41 may work this model.
In US I recommend buy US-version of this phone.

i want to use n41 in Indian model KB2001. I am in Thailand using this device and not able to connect to 5G as AIS uses N41 Band. can you help me with unlocking N41 band on this model.. ANy guidance?

I bought indian version, also want to unlock other 5g bands.
Is it possible if I just change DA rom to AA?

No way unlock without recompile modem firmware... If i know right all unlocked variants (China, India, Global, US) have same modem firmware so rom changing doesn't help. But you freely try and report here.
