Hello guys, I am using LG G2 VS980 on AT&T network. With this device, I am able to WCDMA network but LTE band offered in my city by AT&T is not active/available on Verizon LG G2 VS980. Hence I cannot use LTE!
Should I travel to say, Chicago..I can use LTE because in Chicago GSM LTE band used by AT&T is same as what's active on Verizon branded VS980.
I came across following thread on Samsung Galaxy G5 where people have successfully changed their bands to have device work on multiple different WCDMA or LTE frequencies.
Do we have something similar for LG G2? Has anybody tried it?
Original thread from SGS G5

Anyone tried to activate multiple LTE bands before?
Bumpity bump!!
Dear, buddy:
Could I know if Verizon currently had deployed band 4 LTE already?
I am interested on the Japan version of LG G3 and it does not support BAND 13!

Well, Verizon started deploying their XLTE which uses the AWS spectrum since last year. Their latest article in September states they are in over 400 markets already. http://www.verizonwireless.com/news...ing-exalted-the-verizon-wireless-network.html. So it is pretty safe to say if you are in a big city, it is already deployed.
Thanks so much, but I am going to buy this phone, how we can confirm this?
As far as I know T-mobile also support band4 LTE, how did Verizon and T-mobile handle this?

My Verizon LG G3 gets LTE on band 4 from both Verizon and T-Mobile , depending on which sim is in. It also gets band 13 LTE when the Verizon sim is in.

Thanks, buddy, is that saying if I am using Verizon SIM card
I can use Band 4 LTE service at all states?
BTW, I am in NJ right now.
The Verizon sim means the Verizon G3 can access any available Verizon data connection anywhere. That G3 though does not support all the T-Mobile and ATT LTE bands, just some.
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.

I've been to Brazil six times since 2007.
Yes, LG V30 will work in Brazil, especially if you
1) get one of the North America variants listed below OR
2) even better buy H930DS.... (If you only need in Brazil)
You mostly need LTE bands 3 & 7 for Claro, Vivo, Oi, TIM, Nextel, etc.. But as of 2016, some Brazilian carriers have also started using newer LTE band 28.
If you buy any North America variant (except for T-MOBILE H932, stay away from that), you can convert to carrier unlocked US998 via Frankenstein method and have bands 3 & 7. Or to keep it simple, buy US998 (which is carrier unlocked and has fastboot flash commands, if you ever need them).
LS998, H931, H933, VS996, AS998, US998 are ones you want to look for.
You will be converting to US998, if not already US998.
http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-US998-Unlocked-v30
US998
CDMA: 800 MHz
2G GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
3G UMTS (HSPA):850/900/1900/2100 MHz
4G LTE Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/12(17)/13/20/25/66
OR even better buy H930DS (DUAL SIM V30+), if you can find it -- if it's for Brazil and not for U.S. use. It has LTE bands 3, 7 and 28 -- and you can use dual SIM cards, which is popular in Brazil. Plus, it has fastboot flash commands, if you ever need them. IF you buy that, make sure it has "DS" in the name. Because there's also plain H930, H930G, etc.
H930DS:
2G GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
3G UMTS (HSPA): 850/900/1900/2100 MHz +TD-SCDMA 1900MHz (B39) / 2000MHz (B34)
4G LTE: 1/3/5/7/8/20/28 + TD-LTE2600 (B38), TD-LTE1900 (B39), TD-LTE2300 (B40), TD-LTE2500 (B41)
However, H939DS -- while perfect for Brazil -- is missing major LTE bands for U.S. Does NOT have LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 12.

Does this 4G SIM card also allow HSPA?
You're not getting anything, or just not getting LTE?
What LTE band(s) are they using in your area?
They don't make you buy their own phone, do they? Is it Vivo Prepaid or contract?
You tried contacting customer service? Maybe they have to activate something on their end.

no idea if allow HSPA
The phone read the chip( writing vivo on screen) but no service, no lte
Apparently the band is 50. In bahia after a quick search

Hmmm... I not seeing any mention of LTE band 50. Just 3, 7, 28 -- and you're not going to get 28 with US998.

Be careful of the hidden menu on US998 for LTE bands. Choosing one will LOCK you onto that band and it can't change. I had to factory reset mine one time after doing that. There's also another fix, which I can't remember right now.
Okay so any idea. What can I do.
