Hi all,
Apologies if this has already been asked, I did search beforehand.
As you know the OPO does not support LTE band 20, which is what O2 UK used for their 4G LTE signal. Does anyone know if the LTE bands can be unlocked via firmware? Or is it a limitation in the hardware?
Many thanks

I believe it is a limitation of the hardware. Do you have the OPO already?
I do, yes. It definitely does not pick up any 4G signal on O2. Thanks for your answer, not what I hoped but oh well
..
Long story short, we have attempted to unlock band 20 with no success on the opo.
..
Hummm search and read is hard stuff....

This, it will not work.
That model does not support the UMTS/HSPA bands used by T-Mobile (1700/2100). It supports 850/1900 (used by AT&T and several Canadian carriers).
Changing your ROM will not fix this. Flashing a T-Mobile radio will not fix this either - it's a hardware issue.
As it is quad band GSM you will get 2G service.

I9020T
Bicycle vs. skateboard.
Not going to work as others said. Best is to sell, re-buy and cut your losses. Sorry.
That's actually what I thought I guess ill just sell and buy something else, thanks for the clarification guys.
try press menu button and press select radio band in phone information after dial *#*#4636#*#*
change to automatic or other country and wait

that will never happen
you are better off returning it, and buying the proper model for AWS band (1700/2100)
Hi all,
I've heard it is possible to flash a AWS modem onto a i757m S2 and have it work with AWS bands, but searching through the forums hasnt yeilded any results. If anyone has any idea if its possible or if Im just wasting my time looking it would be great. Any feedback would be apppreciated.

Hi there!
Yes, it is totally possible and works!!! You can see the result here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/group.php?do=discuss&group=&discussionid=2268
Hi all, it's been a while since I was last on XDA.
I recently received a One Plus One in Hong Kong and I am unable to tell if I got the China or the International Version.
I do not receive LTE in uptown Toronto but I do get LTE in downtown. This leads me to suspect this is a China device as it doesn't support band 7 lte.
I am currently using Virgin Mobile (Bell network) and I think Bell uses Band 4 and 7 LTE (Please correct if I am wrong).
Is there anyway I can tweak the phone software wise to enable LTE on the network? it really bothers me sometimes when I can't load a page instantly and instead have to wait for a good 8-10 seconds.
Thank you and happy holidays!
There's one very easy way to tell which version you have, the international version has Cyanogen branding on the back and the Chinese version doesn't.

Unfortunately, mine doesn't have the cm branding on it
Is there a way to enable those lte bands still?

It is IMPOSSIBLE that you get LTE on the Chinese version of the phone, you can't get it in downtown and not in uptown... You have it or you don't

That's really weird, I have the LTE signal in downtown but not uptown!
When I was using the HTC One, I was able to get LTE both down and uptown too!
Bump, thanks.

NOTE: I am on Rogers Wireless.
I get LTE in Markham, Richmond Hill (A lot of H+, little LTE rates compared to downtown), Mississauga (Also a little, but a lot of H+) and Downtown (97% LTE rates)

Flash the latest 44S or 38R modems. Get out of the stock ColorOS modem.

This is false information, they are both the same device. The modem just needs to be flashed out of the stock ColorOS modem.

I understand, I was confused before when I had 25R modem installed, I didn't get LTE much, and I switched between G, H and H+ when I was riding the GO Train.
There's no difference between the China and International models, except the Cyanogen branding. Just need to get out of ColorOS modem.
I can confirm this as I have a Black China Model OnePlus One, and the Limited Edition OnePlus One Bamboo (which is only available in China). I'm from Hong Kong too so I handed over 4 OnePlus Ones to my friends in Toronto, from Hong Kong.
That is very good news to me. I will search a bit regarding that modem.
Thank you!

Good luck man, hope you get better signal!
Just fyi, when I ran ColorOS modem, I got worse signal than CM11 modems, but no modem is the best, you should try a few from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/ref-oneplus-one-modem-collection-t2858734
You can see a chart to see the difference between the modem versions, as they all report the same values in About Phone.
Hello All,
Seeing some conflicting specs. Does anyone know if this phone supports all the verizon bands?
Thanks for any help.

I know it does NoT support CDMA. It may support Verizon LTE bands. If so VoLTE may work.

No, it does not support LTE band 13, Verizon's low band LTE, so signal coverage for LTE on Verizon would be poor.
I am unsure, but I would doubt Verizon VoLTE works with it, and CDMA voice definitely doesn't.
In all, a poor choice for Verizon - most likely no voice, and limited data coverage.
Hi All,
I'm creating this thread to see if anyone got this device too.
I just had this for 2 days, and thinking to unlock more LTE bands.
Anyone interested to help?
Cheers!
Hello.
Where you able to unlock any of the LTE bands?
I was interested in this phone until I saw the limited bands for use in the US.

Unfortunately not.
No root, no access to QPST/QXDM. Can’t even access fastboot.
This thing is though af.
Any suggestions?
Hi.
I actually blindly bought the phone from Japan and thankfully it works perfectly out of the box here where I am in the US. Of the very limited bands it has, it had the main AT&T LTE one in my area. Everything working great and loving the compact phone size.
