which international rom utilizes LTE band: LTE1700/2100 (B4) which the international does not support natively as this is the band that metropcs/tmobile uses for the LTE network. i have tried every rom stated to work for the metropcs variant and none of them will pull data over 3g. the d/fw market that i am in LTE is everywhere and i am able to pull it on several devices including a nexus 4.
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=4995&id2=5208 is the source i used to compare the i9205 and the m819n and if you scroll down to the secondary cellular phone section you can see that they support different cellular network bands and the LTE1700/2100 (B4) is needed for metropcs/t-mobileas per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks it shows that metropcs LTE network is 1700 d that was recently aquired by tmobile.

I know telus used to be strictly cdma, however i know as of 2010 they have made some upgrades.
Does anyone know if unlocked phones such as this one:
(add http) cgi.ebay.com/MOTOROLA-DROID-MILESTONE-2-ANDROID-SMARTPHONE-UNLOCKED-/140483114173?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item20b57234bd
would fully funcionall work on telus?
Just by looking at the supported bands it won't work on Telus or Bell. It will only work on Rogers but at EDGE speeds. The current supported bands by Telus and Bell are 3G only which are 850/1900 frequency. The only other provider in Canada which has a different one is Wind which is on the AWS 1700 frequency so T-Mobile 3G phones should work.
Telus and Bell Canada are not GSM because that refers to 2G which is a legacy network they do not have. They are 3G which all the 2G providers such as AT&T have upgraded to. Their CDMA network is still there running in parallel for now.
They use the exact same 3G system and frequencies as AT&T. So any AT&T 3G phone will also work on Bell or Telus. They do not have the legacy network so 2G phones will not work. Only 3G phones.
To put it another more technical way:
They support 3G UMTS/HSPA 850MHz and/or 1900MHz
They do NOT support 2G GSM/EDGE on any frequency
I know the Jetstream was designed to be run on AT&T and Rogers, but I am curious if it is possible to flash a radio to enable usage of T-Mobile's HSPA network, much like the Samsung Galaxy Note has been enabled to, as seen here.
Can any of the amazing Devs out there shed some light on this?

jdavis08, Simple answer is yes. It is a standard 2G / 3G / LTE (AT&T / AWS band) phone. So you can use it on ANY 2G / 3G / LTE network with a SIM. But you may need to break the SIM Lock on any handset.
Just wanted to clarify. The Jetstream is 2G/3G/LTE /capable, 2G (GSM): 850/900/1800/1900MHz, 3G (UMTS/HSPA): 850/1900/2100, and LTE: 700mhz & AWS-1700/2100.
Currently, T-Mobile only uses the AWS for their HSPA+ network, not LTE (from what I understand, AWS will be transitioned for LTE and 1900mhz refarmed for 3G/4G early 2013) - and if I'm not mistaken, the HSPA+ is only supported by the "3G" band of this device, not the "LTE"
So - to make a long story short. I am a T-Mobile subscriber with various "4G" phones from T-Mobile. Their 4G only works if the phone has a radio with AWS for HSPA as T-Mobile (unlike AT&T) does not use the 1900mhz for their HSPA (yet). I own this tablet.. It has been SIM unlocked and it simply does not get anything above EDGE... and I live near and visit major cities in Washington State, Seattle/Bellevue/Tacoma, which definitely have TMo's 4G coverage.
I know I should just cool my jets until TMo rolls out the network upgrades, as I have no interest in joining AT&T. I was just curious if there was some way to "trick" the phone to use the AWS frequencies for HSPA, like the Galaxy Note has been made to do as the radio specs are identical.
I know that the Note was enabled to do this by flashing another radio. Support is minimal for the Jetstream these days... so I was just reaching out.
Thanks guys
Hi there,
I've got a Verizon HTC One Max. I rooted and put CM12 on my device, and it seems that some of the network bands aren't compatible with this device. After doing a bit of research, I noticed that the LTE Bands supported by this device are the ones used on my Canadian cellular carrier; However, when I select those types of networks to be used on the device, I get no signal picked up. I'm currently using "WCDMA only" as my selected network band for the device, as none of the GSM, LTE, or CDMA options work. It seems that it only picks up the 3G and 4G bands, but no LTE or GSM.
Now I don't know if this is because of the type of device I purchased (like I said, I found a way to get service to the phone through WCDMA), but I was hoping that maybe I could utilize the LTE network in the area instead of using the awful 3G and 4G speeds.
I'm on Virgin Mobile's network, which is a partner network of Bell Mobility Canada. Their supported network bands are:
"Although both are different and independent from one another, both the CDMA and HSPA+ networks use the 850 and 1900 MHz frequencies. Bell's LTE network uses Band 4 Advanced Wireless Services (AWS 1700/2100 MHz) in most coverage areas and Band 7 (2600 MHz) in a few areas."
The Verizon HTC One Max is compatible with the following:
Verizon: 850/900/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 14.4 Mbps and LTE: 700 MHz
So looking at this, I might be an idiot - it looks like on second observation, maybe they're not compatible. I figured I'd post this just to double check anyway for good measure. Anyway, if you've got anything to provide, that'd be great.
Thanks.
Hi need help please , I have a Galaxy S4 I545 , I can anly connect on 3G and even in the back of the device says s4 verizon 4g lte . When I change the LTE network goes without service. Let alone globally connect on 3G, I wonder if I can enable or install 4G LTE bands . Thank you
The SCH-I545 should have 4G enabled automatically. 4G is already installed on the phone unless it has been messed with (ROM,kernel etc.). Is it possible you are just not in a 4G area or have it on your Sim?
Are you located in the States?
The phone is 4G capable, only in USA. Outside, its only 3G. That is how Verizon did it, locking bands so Verizon users cannot have LTE with other providers like T-Mobile or Sprint or ATT. T-Mobile should work worldwide. For Verizon, you will need to unlock bands.
What country are you in ? Most probably, you need band 3 or band 28 which are deactivated.
I'm from Morocco

I'm from france. I use "SFR" carrier searched about it I need band 3, 7 and 20. I tried using hidden menu (*#27....#) but still can't unlock bands.
Anyone know a method to allow LTE bands?
Hi All,
I am using korean lg g3 ls990 sprint model mobile.
I purchased it from ebay website and it is based on sprint network.
It's base OS was kitkat 4.4.2 ZV4 and I flashed it with Cynagonemod 13 OS.
I am able to see LTE in my "preferred network type" but I never get the 4G network, it is working for 3g only.
I am thinking that Mobile's LTE Band level is not supported for India's Network.
Basically LG G3 Sprint Supports: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UMTS 850/1900/2100, LTE Bands 25/26/41*
But in India we need 2300Mhz band 40. So how to enable Band 40 / LTE 4G.
Please help me.
Many Thanks.
