Hello everyone.
Please, I'm searching online for this for days now and can't find anything useful for our Note 3. My carrier uses 700 MHz for lte here in my country and for urban areas it's a must have because of it's enhanced penetration.
So, my question is if the Snapdragon 660 does support this frequency on the hardware level and it's locked just by software or there's no way to enable this ever? And if it's possible, someone knows how to unlock this band specifically? Flash a custom modem or anything? I'm running miui 9.6.2.0 rooted.
And since I'm already here... I can't change permanently the settings in Phone Info (menu *#*#4636#*#*), the preferred network type always go back to LTE/TD-SCDMA/UMTS and I can't enable permanently Volte Provisioning either. It always go back to off.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

4G bands LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500)
B20 (800Mhz) is not supported and is not possible to unlock it.
B28 (700Mhz) is not supported and is not possible to unlock it.

First: if your carrirer doens't support Volte tecnology
Second: if your carrier support Volte then is also necessary that the firmware of the your phone is compatible specifically with this carrier.
If not these conditions then is normal your behaviour

I want to know the actual frequencies (MHZ) which are supported by the AT&T LG G3. Can we unlock it so its 3G/4G is usable in Europe and Asia?
A simple google will show you the bands of the D850.
But the bands are there you can't change them. Meaning you can't unlock bands which are not there.

My brother is looking into switching to wind and getting a new phone
From wind's website:
The WIND Mobile network uses a frequency called AWS, with bands 1700/2100 MHz.
From gsm arena regarding the XT1540:
HSDPA 850 / 1700(AWS) / 1900 / 2100
LTE band 2(1900), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 12(700), 17(700)
it says 1700(AWS) but it doesn't have (AWS) beside 2100 so I'm not 100% sure.
Any idea?

I'm using an unlocked Telus XT1540 on Wind and everything works fine.

Yes it will work. I think most unlocked smartphones will work on those bands.
Wind's pricing has always been a steal in Canada, however their network is a little dodgy once you leave the city or if you're near a lot of concrete.
hey guys,
i can't really find any information if the Mi4C will work out of the box in europe. i'm in austria on a drei (three) network.
i've read stuff about LTE/4G not being supported in europe but thats dismissable for me. but will normal phonecalls and connectivity up to hsdpa+ work in europe?
thanks in advance

So check your bands with this
Three (3) only works with bands 2600 and 1900 so they'll both work in the Mi4C. The only band that won't work is the 20 (800 mHz)
I posted some guides on how to unlock LTE bands in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4c/general/unlocking-lte-bands-t3215763
Hopefully those instructions work for someone to unlock B20. Let me know if it works!
Hi all, I'm considering buying an unlocked GSM Moto G 3rd Gen, and I am trying to figure out how it will work outside the US with other network operators. The 2 areas I am interested in are Hong Kong and Ecuador.
The network specs for the Moto G 3rd Gen are:
Code:
Technology GSM / CDMA / HSPA / LTE
2G bands GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
CDMA 800 / 1900 - XT1548
3G bands HSDPA 900 / 2100 - XT1541
HSDPA 850 / 1700(AWS) / 1900 / 2100 - XT1540
HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 - XT1548
4G bands LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 7(2600), 8(900), 20(800) - XT1541
LTE band 2(1900), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 17(700) - XT1540
LTE band 2(1900), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 12(700), 17(700), 25(1900), 26(850), 41(2500) - XT1548
Speed HSPA 42.2/5.76 Mbps, LTE Cat4 150/50 Mbps
GPRS Yes
EDGE Yes
GSM information from: http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html
China, Hong Kong (SAR):
Code:
900 1800
3G 2100 CSL Ltd; 3G 2100 HKT; 3G 900/2100 Hutchison; 3G 2100 SmarTone;
4G LTE HKT 1800/2600Mhz; 4G LTE Hutchison 1800/2600Mhz; 4G LTE SmarTone 1800Mhz;
Ecuador:
Code:
1900 850
3G 850 Claro; 3G 2100 MOVISTAR;
4G LTE CNT Mobile 1700Mhz;
My conclusion from the data above is:
Voice/SMS/2G Data - Supported in both HK and Ecuador because the Moto G supports all 850, 900, 1800, and 1900
3G Data - Supported in both HK and Ecuador on all carriers since all frequencies for the carriers are present in the phone specs for 3G
4G LTE - Supported in both HK and Ecuador on all carriers because all frequencies listed by the carriers are present in the 4G LTE list
Could someone eyeball these specs and let me know if I'm drawing the correct conclusions or if I'm actually misunderstanding how the bands work?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
Edit: I was double checking the bands listed on gsmarena, which claims both Hong Kong and Ecuador have UMTS 3G bands. The Moto G specs say HSDPA for all the 3G bands. Does the phone need to have UMTS listed for it to work or are they compatible for 3G?
I have a LG G3 D850 which is outside of US unlocked and works on local carriers however the problem is I only have 2G edge connectivity for mobile data. I have read the thread but in my case there is a difference i.e., I am able to receive 3G/4G connectivity on only one of the local carriers that operates on LTE Band 5.
According to LG G3 D850 specifications it supports:
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 - D850
LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 17(700), 29(700) - D850AT&T states that it uses Band 1,3 and 7 as roaming bands.
Could the problem be that in my case these two Bands 1 and 3 are locked and thus I cannot get 3G and 4G connectivity for all my carriers. In that case should I still flash a qcn file or should I proceed to unlock these bands first. I can tell you that I definitely see these two bands in the phone's service menu and can select them successfully (which kind of indicates the bands are unlocked but I am not sure).
I am really confused on how to proceed. Could someone kindly help me out here.
Best Regards
