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.
I got this korean version of lg g2 320s. This is for the SK Telecom carrier in S Korea. When I use this in India, I am able to use only gprs on this. I have tried setting the apns manually but not able to get 2G or 3G to work.
When i go to network settings it shows only 2 options for Network Mode. first is LTE preferred and second is 3G only. My carrier Idea says i need to select wcdma which i don't see.
I went thru some forums before posting here and tried 5457#*320# i tried changing band selection but still my device wont get 2G or 3G signal.
Then I thought this problem may be because of the OS, so I rooted my phone and installed Cynogenmod 12 custom Lollipop ROM for my phone.
Now I see following options to select for the preferred network type:
WCDMA preferred
GSM only
WCDMA only
GSM auto(PRL)
CDMA auto(PRL)
In spite of selecting WCDMA preferred my phone shows network type as "GPRS". I tried changing the bands but it also didn't help.
These are the bands I see in radio switcher.
Euro Band (GSM-900/DCS-1800/WCDMA-IMT-2000)
USA Band (GSM-850/PCS-1900/WCDMA-850/WCDMA-PCS-1900)
For India following networks a re supported.
2G capabilities -- GSM 900, GSM 1800
3G capabilities - UMTS 2100
4G capabilities - LTE 1800, LTE 2300
It would be great if you can guide me to the right forum to get some pointers
Thanks in advance.

Sorry if this is an idiotic question to be asking, but here goes:
I'm going to Japan, and was planning on getting a prepaid data SIM from so-net for my stay. Here are the bands they say are needed for the device to work on the network, either on LTE or 3G.
LTE (Xi®) :
·Band 1 (2100MHz)
·Band 19 (800MHz)
·Band 21 (1500MHz)
·Band 3 (1800MHz)*Limited to the Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka areas
3G (FOMA®)
·Band 1 (2100MHz)
·Band 19 (800MHz)

My question is, I know the TL-10 has some of these frequencies (band 1 and 3 for LTE, and band 1 for 3G). However, are all of them required for you to be able to connect to the network on either LTE or 3G (i.e, would I require a device with both 2100MHz and 800MHz supported to connect on a 3G signal)? Thanks in advance.

Hello, there are never idiotics questions...
All of these frequencies are not required to be able to connect to the network. The only downside is that you won't get an optimal connection in some places where frequencies are not supported by your phone. For example, in an area with only Band 19 LTE coverage, you're connection will be in 3G instead of 4G.

Cheers for the reply :good: I was led to believe you needed multiple bands to connect, because Wind Mobile here in Canada requires both 1700 and 2100 MHz supported on a device for it to be compatible with the network.
Hi, I was wondering if the Z3v has LTE band 3 (1800Mhz)? gsmarena only show Band 4 and band 2, but in pdadb it stated Band 3 (1800Mhz) available.
Anyone succeed enabling LTE Band 3 on Z3v?
Ane info please
Just wanted to post this as I'm at T-Mobile user and just recently found out that they also use Band 5. So we will be able to use at least Bands 2, 4, 5, and 12. T-Mobile LTE Bands Now what would be awesome would be able to add band 66 or even convert a band. Now sure if thats possible, just wishful thinking.
Been reading about tmobil and sprint for assurance wireless all day just seen your post thank you. Trying to port number to k40 phone but uses sprint towers and sim but am getting closer and closer. Useful info. Here is the site info I found right before this post:
In most markets the T-Mobile 3G / 4G network operates in the Advanced Wireless Services (AWS) 1700/2100 MHz band and/or the Personal Communications Services (PCS) 1900 MHz band using Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) technology. T-Mobile also operates in the 700 MHz band in some markets. 5G devices on T-Mobile’s network must support either 660 MHz (low-band) or 28/39 GHz (mmWave). In order to connect to the T-Mobile 3G / 4G network a device must support UMTS and HSPA technology in the AWS 1700/2100 MHz band and PCS (1900) band. The T-Mobile 2G network operates in the Personal Communications Services (PCS) (1900) band. To connect to this network a device must support GSM technology in the PCS 1900 band
so now i know which towers sprint and assurance can work on for on this much beter phone once i change some settings which i am hoping can be done all by using the built in phone code and changing the settings and adding a custom rom recovery with the use of no PC via ENGINEERING MODE. Any ideas or thoughts, or should I not have wasted your time.
