If the phone doesn't have it you can't make it have it. You cannot unlock bands that are not there.

Why do you keep saying that. The phone has it. The specs says it does. Try googling unlock bands there are a couple I found on xda. One was for nexus n the other OE was for opo. The D850 is a little different because of art n I wanted something meant for this particular phone

Because 1 phone can doesn't mean others can... The G3 is not the same as a OPO or a nexus. The reason why some can is the band is locked out in software but is available in hardware. Remember bands rely on the actual hardware of the device. With the D850 if it doesn't have the band it won't ever have the band. And non of the bands are software locked to my knowledge. But if they are there's no way around it at this time.
If the D850 does indeed have lte band 1800 then it could be an issue with your APN or your carrier is using a different lte band.

Thank you so much. The phone has the band I'm sure I've checked multiple forums for the specs. So the band is there. I've checked with the APN which are also right. The ISP uses 1800 and the note 3 n9005 works great. It's just this phone something is wrong and I want to know what.

Theres been a few posts on Band 1800 with the D850 and it doesnt seem to work. So I doubt there's a chance of it working.
Please share those links with me. Why doyou think that is the case?

Just google it there's several posts about it. Because if that band is actually there hardware wise it is being locked by the modem and in which no one has a way around that.

Needs some good suggestions.....i finally sim unlock my infuse 5 mins ago.and my tmobile sim is working. But im gettin bad service in tmobile. Is their anymore fix i need or im missing something to make the infuse my daily phone.with tmobile service? Or no chance @all..... tnx

At&t uses different radio bands for 3g/4g. You will only be able to access the edge network.
So what do u think using the infuse in tmobile? Is it better to just get the phone thats locked to its own carrier.or the sim unlock phone?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997R using XDA Premium App
Your going to have really slow data. That's the only difference. It will still work just fine just take for ever to use the net and things like that since it will only be on edge. I'd just suggest sticking with a carrier specific phone if your worried about data speeds.
Wat phone from at&t will fully work for tmobile 3g/4g data...

Likely none - I have yet to see an AT&T phone that supported the AWS 3G band that T-Mobile uses.

You don't. Our phones do not support an LTE network.
I was under the impression that the G2X had the (AWS) 4th band at 1700mh and at 1900mh.
If so why wouldn't it work?

Give it up - it does NOT have LTE. When this phone was built, T-Mobile didn't even have a clue how they were going to even IMPLEMENT LTE, let alone have any devices with support for it. Just because the same frequency is used, doesn't mean the same technology is used. The 4G in this phone is WCDMA which is totally different than LTE..
Man, why am I wasting my time.... go away and enjoy your 4G.
Guys, let's not be so harsh on OP.
To answer your question OP, the G2x does not have the hardware required to enable LTE. There is no LTE antenna, amplifier, nor chipset. The best we can get with the G2X is HSPA+ (4G). Hopefully this answers your question.
So just make sure that if they switch to LTE in your area before your contract is up....they give you a phone that works on it. Just sayin....

I'm pretty sure that they won't completely disable HSPA+ in the area if they brought on LTE.
I think, the only people left on the g2x forums are all jaded because of this phone. Don't feel to bad OP just understand that most of the people here have been waiting patiently for something good to happen with this phone for years.
I have four Sprint devices [two are GS3s] that I'd like to use on Verizon.
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to do something like that?
Verizon says that I can't use a Sprint device, but is it possible to flash something that will make it look like a Verizon device?
Thanks- I need to know whether to try to sell these phones or not.
Don't quote me on this, but I thought Sprint devices had integrated sim cards, only accessible via mods?
Assuming I'm wrong, you'd first need to check that the radio on the sprint variants supports any of Verizon's bandwidths. From there I'm not sure. Maybe flash a Verizon ROM and test? I'll do some research when I get home and let you know if I find anything useful.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Alright, did some reading. From what I can tell, the Sprint GS3 will have limited connectivity at best. The reason being that the radios do not in fact support the same bandwidths.
Verizon's S3 supports:
LTE 750
CDMA 850 / 1900
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
Sprint's S3 supports:
LTE 1900
CDMA 800 / 850 / 1900
US Cellular version adds CDMA 1700, LTE 700/850/1700
Verizon operates on LTE at 750 (mhz?) only, so that's a definite no-go on the LTE. As far as the CMDA 850 matching up - you might get some connectivity, such as voice, maybe 1x data/3g data, but I don't really know enough about the topic to speak with any certainty.
Hope this helps.
You can't anyway because Sprint and Verizon phones are locked because of cdma regulations or something like that.

My Verizon Note 2 is unlocked factory. T mobile sim cards work fine, I've tested it, just no data because the bandwidths aren't supported by the radio.

That's different. Note 2 is hardware unlocked so that you can switch to any carrier or use any rom worldwide thanks to your root method. Not the same for the GSIII. In Adam Outler's first Casual method for Note 2, he has a video explaining just how far unlocked the phone is and what you can flash since the hardware (as in the insides) is unchanged worldwide.

Obviously. Not disputing that - in fact I was more or less observing it. He said that CDMA phones are locked or "something like that" . That statement could be misleading to some, indicating that ALL CDMA phones are locked due to "regulations", when I know for a fact they are not.

They're locked in a way that makes it to where you cannot switch to Sprint if you're using a Verizon phone and voice versa. So they are in fact locked. Not gsm locked though. Cdma phones are locked. Our phones are gsm capable.

My Nexus will be here tomorrow and I'm wanting to sign up with AIO's $60 plan. On their site it is asking for an IMEI. My concern is that the new Nexus IMEI may not be compatible with their 4g network. Has anyone else had success with AIO? I don't want to be stuck on 3g. Should I be seeking an IMEI from another device as a work-around? If so, what device, and where? My current phone is a 1st gen HTC Evo with sprint. Any help and advice is much appreciated!
Ive been wondering the same thing also.

They're using AT&T's network, I'm on it right now and get HSPA, HSPA+, and LTE. Works 100% fine. Used the same SIM card on my nexus 4 and had great service.

I've also wondered if AIO's LTE (AT&T) will work on the N5. So you have the N5 and it is working no problem? How are the speeds on LTE and HSPA+ (yes i know they throttle, just wondering how it feels)??

Unfortunately i don't have have a Sim to swap. I'm wondering if I order one using the IMEI from the new Nexus 5 will I be able to access 4g? Or will I be bumped to 3g because the Nexus 5 does not show up in their system?
Using Aio SIM from my N4 with not so good reception where I live and getting decent speed.
FYI, the N4 wasn't in their system either and needed the EMEI to activate.
Activating a nexus 5 on aio will be a cake walk. Nothing like the problems people over on sprint are having.

I hope so. I can't wait to ditch sprint
So I have been told that in order for our phones to be able to connect to the new spark network we need to have a build number of KOT49Y and that it should have been an update that was released a month ago. Does anyone have that build number? mine is KOT49H. Can anyone make sense of what sprint just told me?
To get technical Spark we will need to wait for an update, still. However we can at least connect to the other two bands one at a time so if the network is overloaded on band 25 like usual, you may see your phone connect to 26 or 41. Try playing with band priorities as well as enabling them. Also use the .15 or .17 radio. I use .15 and got band 26 last Friday. I made a thread in N5 General if you wanna look.

Well it sounds like it has been released already.That build number is for the Spark update. I know for sure i dont have that build. I was curious if anyone else might have it.
The latest build is KOT49H. There is no KOT49Y.

No I'm on the same build just I only can connect to one band at a time. Spark should be all three at once.

Spark update is not out yet but I think you are confused as to how it works. Spark will merely prioritize bands for you, not connect multiple bands at once.

I was thinking it aggregated the bands together and that's how it gets its speed.
Well I was just repeating what the rep said. I know not to trust what they say but it seemed that he actually knew what he was talking about and when he gave me a diff build number that I didn't have I was like, Yes!!! finally someone knows what they are talking about, I guess it was another bust...
He probably did, but used Google real quick.

OK just got off with sprint. KOT59Y started being pushed by google 2 weeks ago to certain Nexus 5's.
Doubtful as that build number would be from December 2013. The build numbers going around now rumored to be the next release are from last month.

i agree, sounds like some miscommunication at sprint plus i highly doubt google would create and release an update and just send it to sprint costumers.. if thats even possible for them to do. This latest 4.4.3 update coming out soon is probably what they are talking about.. perhaps in sprints environment that were calling it KOT59Y and google is rolling that all up into one single release for all n5's hence the long delay, that radio needs to function correctly across all providers and supported bands. Like i said i highly doubt google would do this to such a small % of n5 owners.
Nevertheless thanks for sharing, got me excited for a minute lol
