According to Google specs, Nexus 5 doesn't have 1700 MHz support for Tmobile users who still haven't had the luxury of LTE coverage and are still rocking HSPA+ on 1700Mhz frequency. I hope Google just forgot to add it in on its website or I'd be very disappointed.
WCDMA Band 4 is the same as T-Mobile's AWS HSPA+

Thanks for the clarification.
The moto G 4G has the 4G band that locks to 3/7/20.
It is controlled by base band. Would it be possible to unlock to TDD network, mostly in China.
I guess the RF chip or the base band should allow TDD mode.
How can this phone G2 D801, support LTE band IV and 17 without those frequencies, of 700Mhz and 1700Mhz?
It it only a HSPA+ (4G) phone?
The specs list frequencies for GSM / WCDMA and bands for LTE. D801 has bands 2, 4 and 17, so 1900, 1700/2100 and 700MHz. When scanning for networks I see AT&T, T-Mobile, former Metro PCS, and Verizon LTE networks.

This g2 is capable of LTE, although it is going to use allot of battery.
According to HTC.com, this phone has the 1800 MHz LTE band (LTE band 3).
I am currently in Australia, using a Telstra LTE SIM, and I can't pick up LTE on my phone.
I tested this SIM in another phone and it gets LTE, so the problem isn't the lack of reception in my area or the SIM.
I get 3G and H data but no LTE.
I know Telstra uses 1800 MHz for LTE.
I tried changing from Global to GSM mode and all the other modes as well as all the options available in the phoneinfo app.
It seems like this device has the 1800 MHz LTE band blocked, what can be done about this?
Thanks!
i didnt notice i had ordered the g955fd until a day after and im wondering since i live in the usa if im going to be able to use my carrier on this device. i use metropcs and live in a semi-rural area in georgia. i spend a lot of time in the city aswell. any info would be greatly appreciated.
MetroPCS is a US prepaid wireless service offered by T-Mobile US. MetroPCS uses T-Mobile US's GSM (1900MHz), a combination of UMTS/HSPA+(850MHz/1900MHz) and their 4G LTE networks.
For UMTS (3G) MetroPCS works on bands 2 and 4. UMTS B2(1900 PCS) and B4(1700/2100 AWS 1).
For LTE (4G) MetroPCS works on bands 2, 4, 12, 66 and 71. LTE B2(1900 PCS), B4(1700/2100 AWS 1), B12(700 ac), B66(1700/2100) and B71(600).
Samsung Galaxy S8+ G955FD supports all these UMTS/LTE bands except the B71(600) band. Usually GSM operators use higher frequency bands like the 2100/1900 MHz bands and rarely they use the lower frequency bands like the 700/600 MHz bands. So your G955FD will work flawlessly on 3G/4G MetroPCS network.
You can use LTE Discovery app from Google play store to check your band online while using your mobile. You get the band number on the Notification bar real time.

Thank you for this very detailed post! I do have one more question though. Do I need to flash any CSC? It seems like I was getting much better connection on my Nexus 6P than I am on this phone right now.
I'm running Renovate ICE 14.1 right now and I'm wondering if its possible to flash Snapdragon CSC on Exynos variants. I have tried it before on completely stock rom with no luck, but I have seen people say its okay to flash Snapdragon CSC on the Exynos variant of this device. Once again I really appreciate all this information <3
