Hi!
Honor 4C has kirin 620 processor.
And based on the design documents it support the following:
GSM / TD-SCDMA / WCDMA / TD-LTE /LTE FDD /Cat. 4 LTE for speeds up to 150Mbps.
But the Honor 4C not support the LTE...
My question is it possible somehow with custom rom/driver to activate LTE?
Thx.

Just thought i should post this since i noticed a lot of people complain about LTE not working for them on their Mate 7 even though their network operator has LTE. Well the truth is that unlike 3G, LTE has two different modes. One called TDD/TD(Time Division Duplex) and another FDD (Frequency division duplex). What this means is that if your LTE network is on say the FDD mode, and your mate 7 supports TDD, even if your frequency is supported it wont work for you due to the fact that your mode isn't supported on the device. This happened to me and i did a research and found the reason. Though there are some devices that support dual mode LTE (meaning they support both the TDD and FDD) but unfortunately the AM7 doesn't. Especially not the one that shipped to Nigeria. Mine supports TDD but unfortunately the only 4G network available for use on mobile in my country (Smile network) is on the FDD.
Also check this blog for your network operator to see the band, mode and frequency it uses. Hope am allowed to post links but if not moderators should feel free to remove it. Thanks

Your information are a bit off. The Mate 7 distributed in Nigeria supports both the FDD and TDD LTE. It just does not support the band that Smile is using which is FDD 800MHz or Band 20. It supports the TDD 2300MHz (Band 40) supported by both Spectranet and Swift Networks in Lagos. iPhone 6 supports both bands 20 and 40 in Nigeria. I think the people in Huawei in Nigeria miscalculated since only Swift and Spectranet are available in Lagos, the commercial capital of Nigeria.
These are the bands supported by the Mate 7 sold in Nigeria. FDD-LTE 1800 / 2100 / 2600 and TDD-LTE 1900 / 2300 / 2500 / 2600 (Bands 1, 3, 7, 38, 39, 40, 41).
the International version of X2 is finally out.
I've just get an answer from Huawei Russia about the X2 they're selling:

Do you know if the version GEM-701L is going to be updated to Android 6.0 Marshmallow?
Rumours of Android M for X2 are for February/March, But certainly only for Chinese version of the device. So I strongly suggest to install a 703L rom on your 701L, as strongly documented of the dedicated section of this forum
I'm a little bit confused since Amazon Germany (and probably more german online stores) are selling the 701L for quite some time now.

is it possible to install or change the Chinese version (ROM) of huawei gem-703l to the international version (ROM) gem-701?

What for ? - it won't change the 4G bands, so what would be the advantage ? - supported languages I guess, but can't think of any other reason..

first of all thanks for replying. Let me explain the advantage,
GEM-703L is not support synchronizing phonebook and calendar with gmail.
I over come the calendar synchronizing with an app in google play, but for the phonebook I did not yet. off course this is not happens in GEM-701L because its supports all of this.
Thanks again
Does the GEM-701L work in the US.....it looks like the frequencies are similar, but just want to make sure.
Thanks
Which band conbination does Mate8(NXT-AL10) CA suport ?

The Huawei Mate 8 Dual SIM TD-LTE 64GB NXT-AL10 supports 4 GSM bands, 9 UMTS bands, 18 LTE bands, and 1 CDMA band. See the tables below for details.

I'm in the UK,
Will a Phone SIM from Three UK network work in the HUAWEI Honor X2 GEM-702L 4G ?
the reason I ask here rather than Three support is because those guys previously steered me wrong,
any advice appreciated before I order this phone from China, thanks guys.

In the UK the bands used are bands 1,3,7,8 and 20. The Gem-702L has bands 1,3,7 and 8 but not band 20. I'm pretty sure band 20 is the lower mhz (800 MHz) band for in building coverage (similar to T-Mobile's band 12 here in the US) You should get LTE just fine but in buildings where LTE coverage isn't the greatest you may only get 3G as the X2 doesn't utilize band 20 in the UK. From what I see for Three is that they use 2100mhz for 3G and 800mhz and 1800mhz for 4G. The X2 doesn't have 800mhz but has 1800 mhz so 4G should work.
Sorry. Posted on the wrong thread.
I am on Three in Austria here use "3" LTE 2600 and 1800 MHz perfect for Mediapad X2 703L and 702L,since the two have no Band20
But Three in UK use LTE Bands 1800 and 800MHz,only Mediapad X2 701L supports 800MHz (Band 20)
But LTE 800 is used only in rural areas and in the city the 1800MHz
Hiya, I'm on the 3 network in the uk, GEM 702L and I have no problem with 4g or any other network issues.
Bought the phone from 'Oxford Street' on amazon, not directly from china.
many thanks guys,
it turns out the phone I have ordered is the GEM 703L version, according to the Huawei web site it uses the following 4G bands
1800MHz (Band 3)
2100MHz (Band 1)
2600MHz (Band 7)
UK Three network uses 4G on
1800MHz (Band 3)
800MHz (Band 20)
and 3G on
2100MHz (Band 1)
it should be OK.

I puchased the Honor 6X BLN-24 to for my mother for the sole reason that it was stated on Amazon and other sites that it had Band 20 (800MHz European Digital Dividend) support. The hihonor.com store also states it has Band 20 https://store.hihonor.com/us/honor-6x/specification
However it turns out it only has the following support for the American bands. I noticed this while on vacation and saw only 4G on her phone, not LTE. It turns out she was on WCDMA 2100MHz Band 1
Primary SIM card:
FDD-LTE: B2/B4/B5/B12 (mFBI B17)
WCDMA: B1/B2/B4/B5
GSM: B2/B3/B5/B8
Secondary SIM card:
GSM: B2/B3/B5/B8
Is there any way to root and "change" the phone software and radio to the European Huawei Mate 9 Lite? Or somehow add at least Band 20 LTE (and hopefully Band 8 WCDMA)
Thank you

Bumping. Anyone have any idea of you can rebrand/change radio?
M
same issue here. were you able to fix it?
That's a hardware thing, unfortunately no
