Will it be compatible with Roger or Bell? If it is, will the LTE work? I have been searching for like a hour for a straight answer. Boy do they make this confusing
It's unlocked, so it will:

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't LTE operating on the global 700mhz band?

It'll work only on HSPA+ not LTE.
Rogers and Bell use LTE Band 4 and Band 7. Verizon uses Band 13.

Is there anyway to enable LTE on the Droid DNA?
Also, I cannot send/recieve photos via text messaging... Is there a work around for this?

As milan03 stated, the bands are incompatible so LTE will not work with AT&T/Rogers/Bell. You will need to use the correct APN for your carrier if you cannot send/receive MMS messages.
i have no mms or group text, even with the correct APN settings

I've been searching high and low for a phone that will work on both T-mobile and AT&T. The Galaxy Nexus was going to be my choice, but it has way too many problems (screen being the biggest issue).
I found this version of the Razr Maxx which says that it has bands for both AT&T and T-Mobile. My question to you guys is this: If I buy this phone, will I be able to use it and get full 3G (HSPA+) speeds on either carrier?
http://www.clove.co.uk/motorola-razr-maxx
Thanks!
After doing some more research, it seems that the phone has to have 1700/2100 bands in order to work on T-Mobile.
The phone has 2100 band. Does this mean that T-Mobile 3G HSPA will work only when the area has that band, or not at all?
That model runs on :
GSM/GPRS Yes

Frequencies850/900/1800/1900 MHz
and/or
3G/HSPA Yes
Frequencies2100/1900/900/850 Mhz
So YES, that model WILL WORK on ATT/TMO. Both companies have roaming agreements with each other and other companies which would allow your device to work if and when you are within a coverage area. NOT ALL features may work in certain areas AND data may be a certain speed in 1 area and in another it may be MUCH MUCH SLOWER due to the fact that it is using your 2G/GSM bands because there is no 3G/HSPA aka HSPA+ aka 4G (aka by ATT and/or TMO). This particular model CANNOT AND WILL NOT ever get true 4G/LTE.
Hope this helps...
Thanks for the answer. After doing a lot of research, I've learned that it WILL work for AT&T 3G/"4G" speeds, and will NOT work for T-Mobile 3G/"4G" speeds.
Reason being is that even though it has the 2100 band, it doesn't have the 1700 band, which T-Mobile requires for full HSPA speed. It uses one for uplink and the other for downlink. So even though it has one of the bands, I'll never be able to get full speed 3G on it.

after many years of following this stuff, and as a user of both tmo & att services, i must say you are exactly correct! i vaguely recall reading about a pentaband phone in development that would do 3g on both services, but lost track of whether it ever came to market
edit: turns out pentaband phones exist:

i'm surprised the RAZR wasn't developed as penta...
Guys,
Just an FYI, I am getting very slow LTE speeds on my SM-G925F Vs. SM-G925A, in fact I am not convinced I am getting LTE at all, as LTE discovery doesn't work properly on the International version, but does work on the AT&T version. I am getting LTE N/A on the 925F and on the 925A it shows Band 17 for LTE. I have the 4G indicator on the International version, and 4G LTE on the AT&T version. Any idea why LTE DIscovery doesn't work on the 925F? I was under the impression the 925F had all the bands the AT&T version does and just added extra.
Just saw this post. Can you try calling AT&T and see if your IMEI is part of the AT&T network.. according to this post its what they did and got it to work.. same situation initially.. slow speeds at first.

I have an AT&T Galaxy S6 Edge provisioned on the line I am testing the 925F on, so that isn't the problem. It is something to do with the radio firmware on the 925F, even if someone thinks they are getting LTE, they probably are only partially getting it. I can post some LTE discovery and cell signal screenshots in the morning to illustrate the differences as I have the 2 phone sitting side by side. See this post for more info in the mean time.

I update the other post with screen shots. I will post them here as well.
Here are the screen shots, the 925F seems to be picking up LTE this morning down on my first floor where my PC is. There is definitely something screwy with the radio though on it. See below.

A couple of thoughts...
1. The International version doesn't do Carrier aggregation, which AT&T is using now, you can see that in the pictures above.
2. The radio on the 925F is not tuned to US frequency networks very well.
3. You lose HD Voice and VoLTE on the International version.
Now I was content to lose #3, not a real big deal on either of those from me, but 1 and 2 kind of make it a deal breaker for me and I don't want to wait and HOPE Samsung fixes it in a software update.
were you able to fix this issue? Same here with 925F on t-Mobile
anyone resolved this? I'm on cricket and im always on H+ and rarely ever see the 4G symbol come on. however, the internet isn't slow either, about 6-8Mbps down.
I had a G925I and had all these issues. Switched to SM-G9250 which is the Chinese/Hong Kong variant and I use it on at&t. There's no LTE or speed issues. I did head to head testing with iphone 6 on at&t and my 9250 pulls faster speeds. Worth noting that 9250 has the most comprehensive network bands support of all S6 and S6 edge variants.
I also put this in another thread, but I have similar issues with my 925F on T-Mobile. Anyone know if I would bork the device trying to flash the T-Mobile modem on a 925F? Up for giving it a shot if I can be reasonably sure that I will not destroy my new phone. I installed the latest baseband and modem for the 925F from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60112855
I could try the files for the 925T from that same thread and see what happens....
It's supposed to support Band 4 LTE and H+ with a change in APN settings. Therefore it should work on T-Mobile USA. Can anyone please confirm? A few guys here on Band 4 in Argentina say it works.
Would like to know as well, bump.
It does work. I have straighttalk with the att lte sim card and i was getting LTE speeds on the vendor rom that came with the note 3 pro but then i upgraded to the official global (was afraid vendor rom was infected with malware) and since im using the official global rom all i get is HSPA+. Cant seem to figure out what changed from roms that i cant get lte back. But to confirm yes it does get lte and hspa+

That's great news. May I ask which vendor you bought it from. There are three versions apparently China, Global and India. Global definitely works but some China versions don't. Don't know about India. I bought mine from Gearbest with the Focal Tech vendor rom that I haven't changed but I have no way confirming which version it is though I suspect it's one of the China versions. Is there any way to find out? T-Mobile H+ is plenty fast but it would be nice to have LTE.

I bought it from banggood.com, it was i think 25 dollars cheaper than gearbest at the time (3gb ram, 32gb model). I was getting LTE and over 25mbps always but once i flashed the official global rom all i can get is a little over 8mbps. This seems to be a common issue as ive seen it posted various times. (screenshot for speed reference. had more lte speed comparisons but i deleted the app once so i only have the only in the screenshot)

I'm seriously considering the LG G5 Model RS988 that you can get on Amazon because it's cheaper and easier to get that at AT&T or Best Buy, but will that version work with AT&T LTE Bands? AT&T LTE bands are 2,4,5,12,29, and 30. I see that the RS988 model doesn't have bands 29 and 30. Will that affect AT&T LTE performance? Please let me know. I want to get the phone in the next day or two. Thank you in advance for your help!!!
You can always check the bands that the device supports, though, yes it does.
But is band 29 and 30 critical for LTE on AT&T?

No its not just don't change your imei from the phone you have right now
I wasn't going to change anything. I was just going to pop in my nano-sim from my Iphone and it should work automatically right? Or do I need to do anything else?

Nope. That's the beauty of GSM carriers.

No LTE love for me...
I would love my RS988 to get LTE on ATT... I switched from Cricket which has LTE on it, to ATT GoPhone and I only get a max of HSPA+. I can scan for networks and click on ATT LTE but it just fails to register. ATT support said they cannot force it to work because their system shows my IMEI as an unknown manufacturer. ... what?
I already have the same APN settings as listed. I would LOVE some help with that!
I have Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon version, whenever I search for the networks I couldn't find a 4G network. All 2G and 3G networks are shown.
Is this a problem with my antenna or is it a bug? How can I find out that?
EDIT : I didn't check the 4G before since i didn't had a 4G sim. Now i have Jio sim with me, so i checked it now.

why you do network search for 4G with 2G/3G Sim, your operator doesnt have 4G and you sim tooo isnt capable of searching 4G network, then y do that even for screenshot, that doesnt makes sense at all.. Your phone is fine and it supports LTE, just use activated 4G sim, it will work definately. your 1st screenshot doesnt have SIM.
