Hi
This phone have the late band 2 and 4 for America? Thanks

I don't recommend global version in America because doesn't support any 4G Carrier Aggregation combinations there. I have listed Carrier Aggregation combinations here: https://cacombos.com/device?model=SM-A908B . Better buy device sold from US to get best performance.

Hello friends,
I have an FDD-LTE MI4 and I live in Brazil.
I realized that the MI4 only works in the bands 1 and 3 of LTE, whereas in Brazil using the band 7, is there any way to unlock the other bands in MI4? I saw that this procedure is possible in other cells, but found nothing about the MI4.
I await response, and now thanks.

Pity no one has idea about this one. More xiaomi are vailable now throw sellers but it seems the LTE bands will not satisfy much countries.
I am in France and as you, if I buy I will not benefit from LTE...
I heard non-mtk models do support other bands but are locked because of licenses, don't know if true
I found a few people that have unlocked a Tmobile z3, some say it works with att and others say it doesn't. I am looking to buy one and there is one locally that is a d6616. He suggests to unlock the sim for it to work on att. I read the manual and it says the d6616 can only use LET bands for 2, 4, and 12. so if I read this correctly, unlocking a sim, does only that - unlock the sim for other carriers, not unlock the sim to a d6603 where it has bands 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,13,17 and 20.
Am I correct or are all these D6603, d6633, d6643, d6653 and d6616 all have the same radio and when unlocked is available to all bands?
im skeptical because I have a LG VS980 (lg g2) and it does not have the main band 5 for ATT service so most of the time I get HSPA+ not LTE.
that is a good option,
I just got the D6616 for use on AT&T. Currently seeking a cost effective sim unlock code.

Does it work fine with at&t? You can unlock more bands, since all z3 use the same soc, snapdragon 801. That's not an easy task but can be done

I ended up selling it because I couldn't get it unlocked.

You could get it as cheap as 30 in cell unlocker or 35 in Xperiacodes, I've already unlocked many z1s and I'm using them with other carriers
Carriers that work on band 4

No, while they have the same silicon, the RF frontend circuitry is different.
Also, D6616, even if you manage to SIM-unlock it, will be bootloader-locked.
Get a D6603 instead - although since Sony closed down the Sony Store a few days ago, I don't know where you can get one with US warranty any more. Dumb of Sony to close down the ONLY place you could buy a Z3 without doing greymarket import shenanigans.
Is it necessary to unlock bootloader to unlock more bands?

Even if you unlock more bands with software hacks, the circuitry is wrong so you're going to have poor performance on those bands (just like the Nexus 4 LTE hack)
Fortunately my carrier uses band 4 and those 32gb are great, too bad the updates are slow

Different sources have different info. Does H955 have LTE cat 9? And how to enable if it does? Also will icon change to 4g++ or stays 4g+? My provider have launched LTE cat 9, but seems that i cant test it. Also they tell that only samsung s6 s6 edge can be used... Possible to enable it on my device?
My provider still not provide lte in my zone.... You are lucky...
Lte cat 6 is supported by flex 2
Same speed of s6/s6 edge, 450Mbps

In my zone I have LTE + but don't have any proof on LTE ++...

I tested few times and max what i can get on speedtest was ~150mbps. When they were introducing new lte to journalists the s6 showed almost 300mbps. As i understand LTE cat 9 is using all 3 bands 800 1800 and 2600MHz, is it possible that its somehow locked by stock firmware?
Last time bump. If i root is there any additional settings for LTE?

You'll be getting a full control of the device when you will have got it rooted but this is not giving you any kind of extended LTE options. Provided that the thing you are looking for is a matter of additional info you may add into some file or implement to device , of course the root will help you. But seriously do not root your device for this LTE purpose. By root you won't get such an option just because you are rooted
I believe my operator uses 900MHz, for both 2g and 3g, however, my phone is not conencting to 3G.
I have been reading the specs which says the n920t has no 900Mhz 3g band available.
my wife phone, n920V is connecting well to 3g.
is there any way to enable the 900Band to the n920t ?
any trick?
900 Mhz band is 2G only on N920T. It should be a different radio chip so it's phisically missing.
N920V is missing a good number of LTE bands instead. Try to get a N920C if you can, it has every band (I have N920T too and here we use a lot of bands but in rural settings I'm left with no phone at all as I have no 900 mhz on my phone...).
Are you sure about this? I have seen on some phones, bands can be activated by using specially crafted QCN files.
i cant find a site to check that, i mean the n920p (sprint) has Exynos SOC 7420 too and it has 900mhz so im kinda confisued, if i flash a global stock ROM into my n920t would it pick 900mhz ? or its just brick ? even if i can remove all the bloatware it will worth the try

Just be sure to have the stock firmware handy before starting to play the flashing game...

i do, but i havent flash it yet cause im scared, i dont have a clue what happens when u flash a global rom into a ex-company phone
Normally phone would not allow flashing if it dislike the new flavour.
Anyways you can wait for others to comment, out find some related info in the original Android development threads

Whilst I'm being in area which is 100% covered by lte-a, using the same sim in other lte-a capable handsets (which get a 4g+ lock right away), only the p20 seems to stay only with regular 4g. Is my p20 defective? I already made sure that the high-speed lte is enabled in the menu, and I'm running the latest firmware.

On my P20 Pro and on wifey's P20, 4G+ works like a charm with no setup needed, so I'd recommend you to get in touch with Huawei support.
