Hi guys
I recently got one of these shipped over to Australia. Now I've encountered a few network issues I'd like help to resolve.
1. I think the only HSDPA/UMTS bands available are only 900/2100MHz. That means I can't get access to Telstra's Next G Network as it runs on 850MHz. Unfortunately I can't get access to the service mode at all and I've also downloaded the network app from the android market to see if I can change the band that way, but that doesn't help either - the app just crashes. I guess there's not much I can do there.
2. According to all the sites I've seen about the specs for the phone - LTE bands supported are 800/1800/2600MHz. But I can't seem to get on Telstra's LTE in sydney. The phone assumes that even with a Telstra sim, I'm on roaming with SK Telecom and it states that 4G roaming is now available. The aforementioned network app is set to "GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto" - yet no LTE!
Perhaps I could flash to another ROM? but I'm not sure which would be applicable? The LG Nitro HD has the closest specs in my opinion. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. usually, bands are hardware limited. Meaning if you don't receive a particular band, you probably won't ever be able to.
2. what bands does Telstra's LTE operate on? #1 applies here too. If the LTE antenna in the phone doesn't receive the frequency your operator is transmitting on, there's not much you can do.
And in your "Perhaps", why would you even consider flashing a ROM for a completely different phone to yours???? (unless you WANTED to end up with a paperweight)
EDIT: Look at this thread. Specifically what's in post 2, which reads "So it doesn't matter where you buy the phone from, it will work on Telstra unless you go buy the korean version or something." Just googling your model number (SHV-E120S), it looks like that IS a Korean version of the phone. The fact that you say it says something about roaming for SK Telecom (a South Korean carrier) seems to support that.
EDIT 2: a quick google for the SHV-E120S turns up this page, which says the phone is for networks voice GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, data (HSPA+) UMTS900, UMTS2100, and LTE frequencies LTE 800, LTE 1800, LTE 2600.
According to Telstra's wikipedia page, HSPA on Telstra is UMTS850 and UMTS2100, and LTE is LTE1800. So you won't get full support on all of Telstra's bands with that model of phone.
It looks like you'll prob be stuck with 3G nextwork if you use this phone in AUS.
Remember: DO NOT try to flash ROMs that is not for your phone. I've tried this one time and ended up hard-bricking my phone. NEVER DO THIS!

Ive read a number of XDA sites where people flash and install new modems with different bands. Woudl it be possible to install a 850MHz modem into the above phone?

Um, no. No flash will ever address a hardware limitation.

Hello guys,
I am from Nepal. I have Samsung SHV-120S and when i was updating my phone phone went to dead boot mode. I did dead boot repair using riff JTAG and after flashing using 4.0.4 i am unable to use gsm only network cause i dont have hspda and above netoworks here. Any solution?
Inside of mobile networks there is just 2 option LTE Preferred and 3G Only... but i dont have 3G network and i dont know about lte network.
i had tried teamleader rom also but problem doesnt appears...

hello guys,
i had the same problem using it in Albania and i find somewhere that you can access the hidden menu by entering at the dial pad the code: 319712358 pass:996412. then at "network settings" you can select GSM modes.
i'm still facing some problem with the calls but overall it's working.
hope it helps.
how could i activate or turn the 3g to 4g? im from PHI

if you are on JB (4.1.2) it should work or you can even try an app from google play "SKTHiddenMenu", practically does the same thing.

yes im on JB 4.1.2. but i'd stuck on it. after i enter the password? it doesn't happen or it didnt went through. i already try to download the SKTHiddenMenu. when i tap the network it doesnt happen. why else can i do to activate the 4G on this phone?
oh im sorry maybe thats why it not work because im using shv e 120L not 120s im sorry.
so now do you know the password for shv e 120L or its the same with shv e 120s?
I've searched all around the web and I cant find a way to check what frequency band my phone is using
for Samsung phones just dial *#0011# and you can find that info, iPhones also have a way, but I haven't found a way to determine this in my Xperia Z2.
does anyone knows any way?
any app or something?
terminal command?
(4.4.2 Stock rom)
note: I want this because my carrier (Orange DO) is going to change their LTE band (and they're doing some test sometimes) and I want to know which band are they testing.

Sorry haven't been able to work with any Orange users to map out their LTE bands yet. If you get a phone that can access the *#0011* menu (or can grab a friends phone whose can) hit me up at [email protected] and I'll be able to bake support for Orange into the application.
I want to add support for all the Canadian and UK carriers but it's been hard to find volunteers in other countries to work with.

I don't know the exact UL/DL frequencies right now, but orange is using band 3 for LTE, and 900 for 3g / GSM / EDGE
the point is, they're on a process of migration from that LTE band, they're waiting (among other things I guess) for authorization to complete migration.
What I wanted to know is exactly which bands they're testing, because I've used a nexus 5 D820 (which lacks band 3) and often it gets connected to the LTE and a friends phone says it is still connected to band 3 (Galaxy S4 i9505 using *#0011#)
So there's no way other than *#0011# for Samsung Phones to get that Connection Data? not from data gathered
and..
actually I'm from Dominican Republic

According to wikipedia you are probably using band 3 frequency 1800mhz
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks#Americas
P.S. Damn your country has so many different bands lol.
You're not undersanding, i dont want static information, i want dynamic information.
I have a Xperia Z2 which has band 3, but i also have a nexus 5 D820 (americas version) which does NOT have band 3 and both get connected to LTE why? Because Band 3 is not Orange LTE final band, its a temporal one, and they are testing other bands, i want to know which band is....

Oh i see!
You want to know what spectrum u are.
Id guess band 2
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=4998&c=lg_d820_nexus_5_na_td-lte_16gb
And i forgot to mention that a friend has a Galaxy S4 i9505 (LTE) which lacks of band 2 and band 4, and using *#0011# says its using band 3
So, basically orange is using 2 LTE bands, one is obviously and oficially band 3, but the other one (probably band 4 but i want to make SURE) is on testing.

Hi OP. Did you find the right solution to find the frequemcy your which your smartphone connected to? Im looking for the same. All android apps i tried never show what freq band my phone are connected to. But i found 1 in apple ios app and you need to jailbreak. Its like a field test. Im hoping to find 1 that works with android because my apple is so outdated and non lte.
Thanks

This works indeed
But on stock based ROM you can't write into system folder due to RIL protection.
So either you create a cwm flashable zip to install this app in recovery, or you use a custom kernel with deactivated RIL.
is there any options to unlock lte band 3 on ls990. i saw and tried many other roms but no one has this feature.
is that depends on rom? or kernel or modem?

are you sure that is gets only edge? Sprint rom only have GSM icon regardless what it receives (edge,3g or hsdpa).
and you may also check if 3g frequencies match

Here is some information about the ls990 data network
TECHNOLOGIES USED
GSM / CDMA / HSPA / EVDO / LTE
TECHNOLOGIES USED DEFINED
GSM
Global system for mobile (GSM) communication is a digital mobile telephony system that is widely used in Europe and other parts of the world. GSMuses a variation of time division multiple access (TDMA)
CDMA
Code division multiple access (CDMA) is a channel access used by various radio communication technologies. CDMA is an example of multiple access, where several transmitters can send information simultaneously over a single access channel.
HSPA
High speed packet access (HSPA) is a third generation (3G) mobile broadband communications technology. The term "HSPA" actually refers to two specific protocols used in tandem, high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) and high speed uplink packet access (HSUPA).
EVDO
1xEV-DO is a 3G standard for CDMA-based networks, as a 3G technology it focuses on bringing high-speed data to CDMA. EVDO provides data rates over ten times faster than 1xRTT the previous data technology for CDMA networks.
LTE
Long term evolution (LTE) is a 4G wireless broadband technology developed by the third generation partnership project (3gpp) an industry trade group.
Bands used by the ls990
2G Bands
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Bands
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
4G Bands
LTE Bands 25 (1900) / 26 (850) / 41 (2500)
DATA TRANSMISSION SPEED
HSPA, LTE Cat4
150 / 50 Mbps
I don't know what protocol Band-3 is set up for. So I cannot answer your question directly. What I can tell you is that the coding you are looking for should be part of your CDMA. The CDMA gets the two signals (your phone and the band) to share a frequency. I don't know how this is achieved. If you know how to access the CDMA programming and know the precise frequency your desired band is broadcasting at you very well, at the very least change an existing port to a different frequency.
I don't know if you would be able to just add in coding and expect it to work. That's because I don't actually know if the phones use multiple ports (one for each frequency) or if it cycles through the programmed frequency using one piece of hardware.
I hope at least some of this information is able to help you out. If you do end up attempting to rewrite a CDMA, let me know how it goes. Honestly if it works, I'm going to be asking you for information.

I'm just a regular guy but try looking through all of the forums and threads. Just search CDMA (make sure you select find anywhere in text if you use a web browser. Then you can use your browser's tools to "find in page" again search CDMA. This will highlight every time "CDMA" appears on the page. Then you can scroll through them by pressing on the arrows on the find in page tool. Of you can't find anything in any of the posts on this site, there could be the chance that the developers are not interested in altering their CDMAs. Keep in mind it is common advice to never alter your "daily driver" the cell you rely on.
Other than that the only I formation I know about it is what I was told by a guy who flashes phones for a prepaid provider where I live. He told me that not every phone is able to hook up to the bands of the other carriers. That's why he had a sign that stated data service is not guaranteed on all phones.
I bought this device 2 months ago, I'm very pleased with the price / quality ratio that the Blu Vivo 5 offers.
However, the lack of supported Lte bands (2, 4 and 7 only) is remarkable, especially since the mediatek processor mtk-6753 supports the 'worldmode' 4G / Lte feature which means that all Lte bands are supported. This would be just perfect if it would be supported by the firmware on this phone... Especially since I live in an area where AT&T broadcast Lte signals on different lte bands than supported by the Blu Vivo 5.
I have done some research and I have been trying to read out the current baseband flash file and I'm positive that the current (2, 4 and 7) lte bands are enabled / controlled by this modem baseband (MOLY.LR9. W1444.MD.LWTG.MP.V42.P71).
Anyway, I made some progress by locating the files that holds the lte bands configuration in the device. When I make more progress by successfully enabling more lte bands, I will start a new post in the right section of this forum. For now I'd like to ask if anyone has more info about enabling / tweaking the baseband and / or lte bands configuration with mediatek based devices.
There are many threads and info about Qualcomm based devices where the nvram has been tweaked to enable more lte bands. But as far Mediatek based devices, there is not much to find, other than tools (like MTK engineer mode) to display info. So any helpful background info is highly appreciated!

Agreed. But how to enable the LTE bands?
Any progress on this? I would love to enable additional LTE bands if possible.
My phone drops LTE everyday. Only a reboot helps. Maybe this could help...
In Norway we use LTE bands 3, 7 and 20 (all network operators). This phone only supports 2, 4 and 7. Would really love to be able to use band 3 and band 20!

hey everyone, I'd like to open a discussion about getting carrier aggregations on our phones, as you already know many of us can't get this feature that's already been implemented on our carriers in many countries or in some countries one carrier does and one doesn't. it's called LTA-A, LTE plus. 4G Plus network
I saw a post on reddit and I quote :
"TIL : Redmi Note 3 Pro (Kenzo) doesn't support Inter-band CA
Recently, I just bought a carrier aggregation enabled operator's SIM card (Digi) to try out this phone's CA aka LTE-A aka 4G+. For your information, I live in Malaysia and you could look up for this operator in this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks_in_Asia. To my surprise, there's no 4G+ icon show up so I'd decided to look up for more info on Chinese MIUI regarding this. Users that are able to access 4G+ are all China Mobile users and China Telecom users are not able to. China Mobile had intra-band CA and China Telecom had inter-band CA and hence I came with a conclusion, this phone doesn't support Inter-band CA."
which makes sense to me, as the carrier in my country which is Iran uses Inter-Band CA and won't work on my phone which is kenzo(rn3).also none of the xiaomi phones work either (entry level to flagship ones)
so, does anyone have the knowledge to tell me and the others that is it possible to change Intra-Band CA to Inter-Band CA? or is it the hardware that should be changed in order to work?
note : LTE bands aren't the issue here, both carrier and phones support them.
@TheStrix @flar2 @franciscofranco @MEGAX91 @billchen1977 @dadi11 @psndna88 @xyyx (please don't mind the order)
any suggestions regarding this issue?
@MEGAX91 I believe you were successful on your device(kate). is there a complete guide for everyone that could follow?
I'm desperately looking for a reasonable solution

There are very few operators which allow carrier aggregation.... Standards are there to implement in their network but mostly they are pretty expensive for them to bring live... May be in future, we may have
