Best LG G Pro 2 (model) for T-Mobile LTE - LG G Pro 2

I brought back a Pro 2 F350L from Korea because it was listed in swappa as the Att device unlocked. I took it to T-Mobile put in a sim card which automatically chose the appropriate apns. I only get 3g no lte. I have scoured the web and these forums but cant find the info that tells me wether i got the wrong device for Tmo bands. I need help either configuring the correct bands or correct radio to flash or if this device won't or can't get lte on Tmo network. I am more than happy to reward the parties or person who helps me figure out this problem. If i have the wrong phone then so be it i will get the other model (that gets tmo lte) and unload this F350L. Thanks for any and all help.

In network mode, do you have GSM/WCDMA/LTA auto to select, or just GSM/WCDMA auto?

Preferred Network Mode: gsm/wcdma/lte

Looks like you have the wrong phone ... https://support.t-mobile.com/message/435224#435224
Bottom line, for optimal utility a T-Mobile phone needs to be:
1. Quad-band GSM
2. HSPA+ on at least band 2, band 4 & band 1 (2100) for roaming.
3. LTE on bands 1, 2, 4 & 12.

So seeing the bands I posted would the phone work for ATT? Thats a huge question because it (350L) is posted on Swappa a a ATT phone? At least I can unload it there, LOL.

"AT&T 4G HSPA and HSPA+ use 850Mhz(Band 5) and 1900Mhz(Band 2) bands but it all depends on area if they own a license. LTE uses Band 17(700Mhz), Band 5(850Mhz), Band 2(1900Mhz), Band 4(1700/2100Mhz) currently."

So the F350S works on ATT and here are Your Phones Bands (as listed here on XDA)
LG F350S
WCDMA - 2100/1900/850, GSM - 900/850/1800/1900 MHz, LTE - 1/5/3/7/17
So will these Bands work with T-Mobile? I really love this device and I am totally hooked on the 5.9 inch screens color so I am hoping your ATT Model (The one your using) will work on T-Mobile? If it does I am more than happy to send you a few duckets

wiseguyy, I believe the phone must have band 2 and/or 4 for it to utilize TMO's LTE service. From what I've read, band 1 is used only for roaming. Read the entire thread you quoted above.

Verizon HTC One M8 - Global Bands Active/configured

Just wanted to give some info I found using QPST(qualcomm software) to see what cell bands are configured for our HTC One M8. I even looked at the Rezound bands as well. As most of you know, verizon didn't carrier lock our phones, so if we switch to global or even GSM network, we can use other carriers GSM SIM cards. Just need to properly configure the APN's of course. Below are the bands that the phone will search for when Global Network is selected. I pulled this configuration from my actual device. The Rezound only was missing Bit 19 & 49 selection, but everything else was selected:
[Bit_00] Band Class 0, A-System
[Bit_01] Band Class 0, B-System
[Bit_02] Band Class 1, all blocks
[Bit_07] GSM DCS 1800 band
[Bit_08] GSM Extended GSM (E-GSM) band
[Bit_09] GSM Primary GSM (P-GSM) band
[Bit_19] GSM 850 band
[Bit_21] GSM PCS 1900 band
[Bit_22] WCDMA Band I - EUROPE JAPAN & CHINA IMT 2100 band
[Bit_23] WCDMA Band II - US PCS 1900 band
[Bit_26] WCDMA Band V - US 850 band
[Bit_49] WCDMA Band VIII - EUROPE & JAPAN 900 band
I'm guessing the reason some of us are having issues on Tmobile is that the AWS bands are missing? Can we enable them somehow?

It could possibly be activated using QPST, but there are other steps to do it. The only issue is that since QPST is the QualComm radio programing, there is potential to lose signal quality or lose all radio functionality. That said, it could also be possible to recover by flashing the original firmware or RUU to recover. I now T-mobile uses 1900 GSM PCS band and AWS 1700 mHZ. There is another program I use to actually enable more bands. The program basically converts the selection of bands to a hexidecimal number to use in QPST software to program the added bands. Again, not sure if the Qualcom chip can use it. There is a WCDMA band selection for Bit (25) IV- US 1700 than could be programed to enable. I used a thread from the Sony Xperia forum to help me use the two programs.

I activated all other bands yet i still didn't get LTE, so i assume the restriction is somewhere within the chip perhaps.

Nop, if someone can tell me which Rom has the change bands function then can try that as well. But even after opening the bands I'm only able to get H 14.4mbps.
Are you currently in Europe too? I'm dying to get Vodafone lte on this handset. 3g works fine but I haven't tried the qpst route yet.

I have an old phone info app that's the 4636 menu thing. Hadn't tried this before but just tried assigning the bands there. Somehow that just hosed me and now I only get the 1900 band it seems, so phone is radio-less for me now

There's a solution for this problem, if you are s-off-ed. I also did the same thing - i selected USA bands and my phone radio died. Just make a nandroid, flash ARHD , go to the same 4636 menu and it will give you another option in band selection - Auto!! Choose auto, then reboot and make sure you have connection with the network. Then restore from nandroid and you're good to go! I will try to find the link to the original thread!

Thanks that was helpful! Somehow I also had recently loaded a Xposed app to show CPU speed on the top bar. I uninstalled that then after two reboots things came back. So odd, but I'm not complaining at this point.
after a google search it seems people have gotten into problems with chaning bands on verizon devices, the above solutions brings the radio back to life. But it certainly doesn't unlock LTE on europe bands.
So i guess its a lost cause, as it must be a hardware limitation
Yeah disappointing that we can't add those

[Q] LG G PRO 2 (D838) International Version - LTE CONNECTIVITY issues with AT&T

I am not able to connect to LTE Network in AT&T, I Have tried resetting the LTE settings and explored possible setups in Secret Menu. Still No luck.
If anyone has faced the similar issue, then please post the Step by step procedure, I have rooted and also flashed latest Stock ROM. Still no Luck.
if anyone has successfully connected to the LTE Network on AT&T using a custom ROM also, please let me know
Regards
John
I will owe you a beer if this can be cracked. :victory::highfive:
D838 does not have LTE Band 17 for AT&T only the F350 models have the correct 700Mhz support

I tried flashing the ROM and updating it to the Taiwanese edition,even though I'm able to see the band 17 in the hidden menu, I'm not able to choose it. When I try to choose Band 17 from the Hidden Menu, it displays a different band number.
Is there a way to get it to work?
John
According to pdadb.net, none of the F350 variants support NA 3G or LTE bands. The only G Pro 2 that support NA 3G and LTE bands is the D830. I can't find any retailers that sells it.
My F350L begs to differ. All F350x supports most North American HSPA and LTE band, with a notable exception of LTE band 4.

Photon Q works on T-Mobile LTE

Hi All,
I was recently on holidays in the USA which using my Photon Q sim modded by Cornholio I was able to get LTE on T-Mobile. This was only in areas where they have re-farmed 1900 mhz (band 2) to LTE. I'm not sure if this makes a difference but I also changed nv 6828 for 1900mz bands 2 & 25. So in theory LTE should work on AT&T where they use 1900 mhz band 2 LTE. AT&T was was coming up a lot when I was doing a network search. It is listed as AT&T 4g.
Regards,
Sebastian

I've never played with any of this, but I'm an AT&T user in US... what exactly are you saying to try setting in the phone in order to try to get LTE on AT&T.... and if there's any way to know if AT&T is using that band in a particular area?

Hi,
This is what I did with my phone to get LTE was the following: Using the phone dialer
*#*#4636#*#* and in phone information menu change data to LTE/GSM/WCDMA
##3282# and in the LTE menu make sure that you have LTE as enabled, if not edit the value to enabled. You need to use the msl code for your phone to do this. I have an app to do this if you need.
To see if AT&T 1900 LTE is available in your area, go into settings, mobile network settings, network operators and choose the option search networks. A list of available networks will come up. If you have AT&T 1900 LTE band 2 available, this will be listed as AT&T 4G. Tap on this and you should be able to get LTE. The Photon Q lists LTE as 4G in the status bar on the top of the phone.
Hope that this is some help

Can we unlock the 3G and 4G bands of Moto G 2015?

Hi,
I brought a Moto G from India, before coming the US for doing my masters.
The thing is here it does not pick up 3G or 4G bands. It just works on EDGE.
I wanted to ask if i can use the QPST method to unlock the bands? because I can see no information on it in the forums(for this phone). I am especially confused since it says nothing about dual sim phones and this is the dual sim variant of moto G
It would be great if someone would guide me how i could unlock the bands on my phone.
Regards,
Naved.
I'm almost a 100% sure this wont work but try installing a USA stock rom and a USA stock kernel. But I think the problem is with Sim card though.
Thanks for the help man. I am currently on T-Mobile planning to switch to at and t soon. You think that it'll at least pick up 3g after that?

I'm stuck on EDGE with an XT1541 in Argentina and i'm not really sure of what to do... Is there some sub-forum with phone exchanges around the world?
Maybe someone's interested on a trade!
There were some successful attempts at unlocking the bands on the Moto E 2015, but for now there's no hope for the G...
How do you guys see it? Do we have any chance? Should we wait?

I am a little confused here... Your Indian model phone should get 3G in the US, but not LTE (I hate it when people say "4G", technically speaking even LTE isn't 4G but that is for another thread), in fact, assuming you have the correct SIM and APN settings, your model should get HSPA+ speeds. LTE is out though... let me explain
3G (HSPA/HSPA+) in the US is 850Mhz and 1900Mhz, in India it is 800Mhz and 1800Mhz, the Moto G supports all 4 of these bands, so it should work in the US just fine.
In the US, several bands are used for LTE such as 2, 4, 5, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, and 41 (granted some bands are very limited or carrier specific), but in India LTE use is exclusively Band 40 by both Aircel and Airtel, and the LTE setup in the Moto G is specific for those countries and does not inter-operate.
So, long story short, with a GSM US carrier SIM and correct APN setup, you should get 3G HSPA+ data connections with no issues on your Indian Moto G, which is probably good enough for most uses and can exceed 8mbps down speeds in many areas.

Hey thanks for the reply man.
I think even HSPA or HSPA+ might not work for me on this phone. I am using a T Mobile family plan here, and comparing th bands given on the website:
"4G (HSPA+)
With 4G, theoretical maximum download speeds range from 21 Mbps up to 42 Mbps. You can take advantage of incredibly fast download speeds, and even use voice and data services at the same time.
Frequencies: Band 2 (1900 MHz), Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz)
3G (HSPA)
With 3G, theoretical maximum download of 14 Mbps. With 3G, you can use voice and data services simultaneously.
Frequencies: Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz)"
and the bands my phone supports(from the motorola website)
"Moto G (XT1550)
LTE (1, 3, 7, 8, 28,40) UMTS/HSPA+ (900, 2100, 850 MHz)
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)"
It seems that the uplink is unsupported by my phone and so the phone is unable to use the HSPA/HSPA+ bands. I think the only way to use it is to unlock the 1700 MHz band on my phone.
(BTW Tmobile quotes HSPA+ as 4G and thats hilarious lol)

Most us carriers say HSPA+ is 4G...
Tmobile is great in many regards, except if you have an international phone like the Moto G and they do not have the correct bands implemented in your area, which it appears they do not... Honestly, consider moving to AT&T Wireless or an AT&T based MVNO like Cricket, Straight Talk AT&T, or Go Phone, it might cost a little more but you could get HSPA+ with no issues. 850Mhz is AT&T's primary HSPA/HSPA+ frequency, and 1900Mhz is added to congested areas, but this varies by area... before going all in I suggest trying a SIM from a buddy or go the AT&T (corporate) store and ask to test a SIM just to be sure. But regardless you should get UMTS/GSM speeds on AT&T, which is way better than Edge, averaging anywhere from 500kbps-2mbps.
If TMo is essential or you can't change for whatever reason or live without HSPA+/LTE, consider getting a Blu phone or Moto E locally, they are relatively inexpensive (under $150) and are not amazing but will probably do the job.

Hi,
I brought a Moto G from India, before coming the US for doing my masters.
The thing is here it does not pick up 3G or 4G bands. It just works on EDGE.
I wanted to ask if i can use the QPST method to unlock the bands? because I can see no information on it in the forums(for this phone). I am especially confused since it says nothing about dual sim phones and this is the dual sim variant of moto G
It would be great if someone would guide me how i could unlock the bands on my phone.
Regards,
Naved.

so far i know these are hardware specs and cannot be unlocked or changed.i mean to say moto g 2015 has different variants based upon hardware specs of their band support
If you started using att with your xt1550 ..how is it? Do you get 3g or lte?
I didn't start using it. Currently stuck with a group plan.. But I tried using a friends sim card.. 3g does work well with at n t.

Thanks for letting me know... I wish there was a way to get 'lte' ...someone has to come up with a way to unlock the bands lol. Thanks
I am currently having the samw problem, i bought a moto g which lte and 3g bands do not work in argentina. I tried the qpst method, but i got stuck in step 12 of the guide. If someone could make it work and explain how they did it, it would be awesome.

Same here...I am trying qpst also but rf.nv manager keeps getting an error for me. Maybe we can work together on this. I also can't figure out the hidden menu..unless its *#*#4636#*#*

Hey , I'm from argentina too and have the same problem. Could someone fix it? (hablemos en castellano)
The same problem with rf.nv manager. It always stops when I want to setting the COM. I edited some things of the program... Didn't work.

V20 will have lte band 66 for aws

What's the benefit of band 66? I can't find the info anywhere . do you know if.it's wideband 20x20 or like.band 12 5x5? I can't find any info that makes sense to me at least

Canadian service provider Wind Mobile has plans for it:
http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-v20-be-first-phone-compatible-wind-mobiles-lte-network
Found this as well,may have some future benefit/etc..... for US Carriers:
http://www.fiercewireless.com/wirel...or-band-66-combines-its-aws-4-aws-1-and-aws-3
I tried the *#546368#*918#, Field Test, Modem Settings, LTE Band Selection
I see options for Bands:
1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,17,20,25,28,29,30,40
Some of the bands fail to enable.
Is there some other option to enable/disable to get to Band 66 or is it a collection of bands enabled or ???
Not much more info here either, http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/band-66-disabled-t3491556
Though, this page for LG, www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-H918-Titan-v20, does show it as (is there a H918 and H918 Titan because in my model, it says H918):
GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, LTE Bands 2/4/12/66, Roaming 1/3/5/7/13/20, WCDMA Bands B2/B4, WCDMA Roaming B1/B5
This post says the H915 variant (which I returned since it has a locked bootloader; so much for FREEDOM Mobile) does not show Band 66 either, http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/freedom-mobile-lte-lte-network-t3517501
From Freedom's page regarding their LTE rollout:
Frequency:
• AWS-3 / Band 66 in the Greater Toronto and Vancouver areas, Calgary and Edmonton
• AWS-1 / Band 4 in Eastern Ontario, including Ottawa, Kingston and Peterborough

it's coming as a future firmware upgrade.
Supposed to roll out by January.
It works similar to the Samsung 3 band thing, in which it taps into 3 LTE spots to provide a faster speed, also makes it compatible for people in AWS bands (Wind Mobile / T-mobile)
Oh, good to know then. So, for "Freedom" mobile, only eastern Canada users with Band 7 (2600) phones (and possibly certain plans can get LTE); western Canada users will have to wait for the Band 66 to be activated :/ *sigh*.

I can tell for sure latest update for H915 activated band 66, despite it not showing up in the LTE bands in the modem settings field test menu. If I force the phone to LTE-only mode I can see it trying to connect to B66 LTE in the engineering menu, just cannot connect because I didn't change my plan.
