I used the unlock code to unlock my D2G and I am in Hong Kong using a local gsm sim card (PCCW 3G). But I can find only 2G network using 'Search networks' function. My setting is GSM/UMTS - Automatic. I have tried other phone using the same sim card and it can find 3G networks. I have typed *#*#4636#*#* and select radio band to USA band (in Phone info -> press menu button -> Select radio band -> USA Band) and it don't have any option for me(other than USA Band). I can see 3G network before and it seems to this problem appeared after I made the USA Band setting in *#*#4636#*#*. What's wrong with my setting? Can anyone help? Thanks a lot.
The problem is that you cant use the USA bands over there and the 3G frequency that they use is probably not supported by the phone
Phone has 850/1900/2100 bands. I am pretty sure Hong Kong uses 2100. So band should be supported. However, I know many providers limit some type like prepaid sim's to 2G. Maybe this is the case? Do you get 3G in another phone with the same SIM?

I have tried other phone with the same SIM and some 3G networks can be seen. Thanks for all your replies. Any suggestion for the setting? Thanks.
Which operator/network is the sim from?

Actualy, D2g has a very poor signal of 3g. It's because of the original rom whivh customised for using in us. You will have beter signal and battery life if using fission rom.
The SIM is from PCCW mobile (Hong Kong). I have made the same setting again (*#*#4636#*#* -> Phone info -> press menu button -> Select radio band -> USA Band) and no more network is available now (even 2G network). So I think the setting blocks all the network other from USA radio band. But how can I set it back? Help!!!!
I hate to say it, but an SBF might be your only option...
So, as of right now, your phone can see NO networks, or just no 3G networks?
My phone CANNOT see any network right now.
Hard reset it.

Hello,
I've an HTC E8 Dual Sim (from India) with software version 1.25.720.3. I would like a confirmation and some user experience that this phone works with European/Belgian LTE frequencies, especially 1800 - band 3
Indeed, according to my mobile network provider, the 4G is enabled on my simcard, but even if I'm supposed to be in a 4G covered area (and after restarting the phone), the mobile settings does not display the LTE/4G choices (I only see "Global mode", "CDMA Mode", "GSM/UMTS" choices).
Does anybody here can confirm he/she can use the same phone and access 4G/LTE with the same frequency used here in Europe?
Thanks in advance.
Yes it can
I face the opposite of your problem I have only 3G on my country but my phone support LTE so I will upload my TWRP backup of my rom to exchange it with TWRP backup of your rom if possible please confirm to start uploading [emoji4]

Probably bevause when it was released, 4G was prevalent in India.
I know, it has 3 bands of 4G, none currently used in India, so no way to use 4G in India.
should we not sue HTC India for selling a device with false pretense? When I called HTC, they said their devices are country specific. If so, why is HTC advertising it as a 4G device if it cannot be used even in India?

Thought so too, but their website clearly says 4G only available while roaming. So we'll have no ground. And the clearly mention which bands too. I don't remember where they advertised it as a 4G device too.

I have a 4g enabled Airtel sim (ported recently from vodafone) and it shows me only H or 3G.... I have switched the bands to GSM/WCDMA/.....LTEAUTO and restarted the phone also.... but speedtest.net shows 1.5mbps speed only...
Edit : I changed the band using *#*#4636#*#* and upon reboot the band returns to GSM/WCDMA/CDMA and EVDO (PRL)
Anyone know how to make it stick ??
Also, i am on locked bootloader, non rooted and 5.0.2

As far as I know, none of this will work until htc sends an update to enable 4G, like it did with the M8. It initially didn't support 4G, but an update was sent to enable it. That brought LTE under the options in network, whereas we have only 2G, 3G and CDMA. LTE should be there for LTE to work.
Also, from what I've heard via someone close, htc isn't considering the update, for them, E8 in India doesn't support 4G.

No source mentioned in the article. So they may or may not be correct. As far as I know, it won't. Unless htc decide otherwise.

Hello XDA community,
I have a Mi Mix 3 Palace Edition phone and I am using AT&T for my carrier. The phone came with a Chinese ROM but I flashed it with a Global one. I have been trying to get 4G + LTE to work on the phone but so for all I am able to get is 3G. I have contacted ATT and was told that my account was not setup for it. So ATT's advanced technical support made sure the IME/my account on the phone was LTE enabled. I am still stuck on 3G. I have selected the correct APN for it but I do not connect.
What am I missing?
Preferred network Type?
preferred network LTE.

Did you checked if your apn is correct?
Try selecting 4G network manually. I faced issue like that initially with ATT MVNO. After seleting 4G network manually I am geetting 4G+
In the Settings, go to About Phone, and tap the storage until it brings you to the SIM and WiFi screen. Tap on the Phone Information for the SIM you are using and set that Network Type to UMTS/LTE.
AT&T blocks any device you did not purchase directly through them from using VoLTE and WiFi Calling. 4G is also LTE, so if you see the 4G icon, that is also LTE and 4G+ is also LTE-A.
