Hi guys, I have just migrated my plan from 3G to LTE plan, I live in Taiwan, and my telco's primary line is LTE 700MHz, while their secondary line is LTE 1800MHz. When I am at the Customer Service center, the guys tested 4G with his phone (Galaxy S5), it was capable of archiving 25Mbps, but my OPO barely can reach 10Mbps, so I suspect it was on the 1800MHz band. Why? My OPO is International one, and should't have problem getting 700MHz band. Perhaps modem problem or what? (Bought via invite, received on Jan 14 2015)
ROM as in signature, baseband came with the ROM.
Hi soralz,
They will open the 700 mhz in my country in the futur (this year probabely)
Do you find you answer about it ? modem update ?
Thanks

Hi everybody
I bought an ACER Z3 (Z130) in France. Very nice and simple device. I like it and i use it for Internet & mail with my provider SOSH (Orange F) without problem.
On 14th october, i'll leave France to Canada for 1 year and i want to keep my cellphone.
I searched a Canadian cellphone provider in Edmonton, AB.
I found Roger, Telus, Bell .... Cellphone plans are very expensive in North America than Europe ! (~$CA 40 for 150min, 200Mb 0_o)
And ... I found "Mobilicity" and "Wind mobile" ! That's good ! Cheap and unlimited Internet plan without time engagement.
But, i read that you have to get an AWS-1 compatible devise.
My Z130 is worked on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz Band and UMTS 900/2100 MHz band.
Unfortunately, Devise have to work on UMTS 1700 and 2100Mhz to work on this type of network.
My question is : Is it possible to update my cellphone to work on this AWS band by a software ? An another ROM ? Or it's impossible due to hardware question ?
Thank you for any information you can give me.
Sincerely
Tyto~
NB: Sorry for my "basic" English ^^
Is it possible to use a D800 with 3G/4G in Sweden?
I am studying abroad and got a Telia sim card (have already unlocked phone), but only have access to SMS / 2g calling. I looked at baseband before leaving and thought it would work, but now think I misread the page. I'm fairly certain that the basebands are via a Qualcomm chip and I can't somehow change it in the software.

If I indeed can't use my phone with data networks here, does anyone have any recommendations for cheap smartphones? I'll only be here for 5 months so don't really want to pay more than $100 if possible. Don't care about screen, camera, speed etc. Just want to be able to use data for google maps, whatsapp, FB messenger etc

you will not be able to use it on 4g because telia lte bands are not same to d800 and the link you shared of device include the bands of all models which is why next to picture of g2 it says available as and has a list of models
d800 lte bands:
LTE 850/1900/700/AWS*
telia lte bands:
LTE 800, 1800, 2600 MHz
as for a cheap smartphone with 4g I would suggest to look on ebay(great place to find cheap phones) and make sure device supports telia lte bands

Yeah, before I must have looked at the D802 and not realized that I wasn't looking at the D800. Thanks!
Hi all:
My Family Bought this phone from USA, and went to Taiwan to stay for 3 years. Her want to use this phone with Asia Pacific Broadband and Wireless Communications Inc (APBW) 4G network. APBW supply LTE 700 (A1：UPoload 703～713MHz；Download 758 ～768MHz ). So i need someone to suggest about this. Would this phone supported the band? If not, could it be refresh to support ? Thanks!
hi just purchased a USA htc win phone ,does anyone know if 4g will work in UK ,if so witch provider cheers
no body tried then
not much happening here then
Not sure
I have just bought from USA a HTC One M8 T-Mobile 0P6B140 which I have unlocked. It is working fine but although it shows it is on Vodafone UK 4G, using the app NET CHECK it reports 3G HSDPA/HSUPA 57mbit. The only thing that I haven't got working is MMS. I have entered the APN details for my contract Vodafone sim which I found on the net, and there are various, but it tells me it cannot send and to contact mobile op. for settings.
As for the 4G, I live in a rural area it may be that Vodafone are transmitting on band 20 (800 MHz) and this phone doesn't support that. Vodafone only have the 800 and 2600 frequencies, band 7 and 20. My phone uses 3 (1800), 4 (AWS). 7(2600), 13 (not sure). I might be wrong with these.
Overall I am pleased, the phone is superbly built and it gives me something to think about!
I have the mms working fine, it was just the APN/MMS settings. So it is just the 4G not working but I can stream video from my synology ds214play with the 3g HSDPA/HSUPA.
Hi, LTE support depends on which carrier version you are bringing to Europe. My Verizon version did not work because it supports only "non-European" LTE Bands.
Now that I am using the AT&T version I can use full LTE in Europe (except the 800mhz band, which doesn´t matter for my country).
Be also aware that AT&T and obviously T-Mobile change the firmware so the phone will display 4G when in reality it is on 3.5/3.75G and LTE when it is on real 4G.
Cheers,
T.
Hi, I have a 64gb OPO in USA on Straight Talk, using AT&T network. For some reason I'm not able to get an LTE signal in Burlington, Vermont area despite LTE service being available locally. As soon as I cross into New York, New Jersey, or other states I can and do receive LTE signal, so I know my device and Sim card are capable. Others have told me AT&T uses an unconventional LTE band in this area because they took over another carrier called Unicel. What I need help determining is what band they use locally and subsequently which radio I need to flash to get LTE on that band. Currently my battery drains fast constantly switching from hspa to hspa+, yet doesn't do so in other cities and states. Any help, and links are greatly appreciated.
The OPO hardware LTE bands are: 1, 3, 4, 7, 17, 38 and 40. ATT US uses bands: 2, 4, 5, 17. So, if your ATT LTE signal is on 2 or 5 you won't get LTE in that area on your OPO. The bands are a hardware limitation of the OPO and can't be unlocked, as some people have tried in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56577252&postcount=455.
