GSM Arena for Blu VIVO 5: "4G bands LTE band 2(1900), 4(1700/2100), 7(2600)"
???
I think I'm getting LTE!
Ive been playing with the phone for two days now, I'm pretty sure im picking up LTE, the signal strength is real strong and the phone is super fast! We just need a custom recovery and i think this phone is a hit already especially for the price range.

Before rooting the device i advise to do the network update first, i rooted using King Root and now i can't update the network even after removal of root& King Root app! I haven't tried a factory reset yet.

Why is LTE not available while calls are in progress?
because it still does voice over 3g and I would imagine it can only transfer data through one at a time.

The reason it still has to do voice over 3g is because not everyone is on 4g yet.
I surf the web and facebook while on the phone with LTE active voice is not 3g it is 1xrtt

I'm guessing you're on AT&T? They decided not to enable/include SVLTE functionality on their S III because it is battery intensive, and HSPA+ data can already be used while on a call. Verizon and Sprint both included SVLTE because the gulf between EVDO and LTE is so large, and SVDO (EVDO and Voice) itself consumes significantly more battery than just dropping data.
Can you modify the S2 i9100 to work with Wind/Mobilicity in Canada?
No. It's a hardware problem. The phone is incapable of receiving one of the frequencies. AWS requires both to work.

I should clarify. The phone will work on that network; it just won't get anything better than Edge data speeds for mobile data on any network that only uses the AWS band for mobile data.
I have a rooted unlocked O/G E970 on t-mobile and I only get edge an I live in a 4g area. I have tried a number of peoples ideas and appreciate all the input but still haven't found what works. I've tried changing apn settings,secret menu,and a few airplane mode tricks. What am I missing please help.

No 4g.
Ive only recently had my area refarmed on the 1900mhz band and get 4g. Well hspa plus, but you have to be in a refarmed area, or in a 4g lte area to pick up 4g. As as far as my research has gone the o/g optimus g no 1700/2100 aws support. But it does support lte and 1900 mhz. As for the att xperia ion surprisingly supports 4g hspa plus in my area, hit 14mbps down and like 2mbps up. On the refarm ive hit as fast as 9 down and about 1 up or so. Hope this helps.

epc.t-mobile.com gives you faster hspa plus speeds than running fast.t-mobile.com i have no clue why but the epc setting give me close to double the speeds. im not sure if its to even out the spit between hspa plus and lte but yeah.
Anyone has information on how to unlock band 4 LTE?

Hello,
I managed to have LTE Working on te Fido/Rogers Network.
Without modifying anything with QXDM
Juste do that (Test with Rogers and Fido)
Modify directly the APN default with ltemobile.apn (for fido and rogers) and restart the phone
Next check the mobile Networks available and you will have Fido 4G or Rogers Wireless 4G the network will switch automatically on 4G.
I believe in this case only the band 7 is used but LTE Discovery can't show me the band i use (even with root)
Urban legend? AFAIK it was legit when it worked with the Galaxy s5.
Hello,
I tested the LTE on the band 7 today with Fido/Rogers
And so far so good

Good for you. Band 7 is not available everywhere for Rogers and Fido I believe.
Sorry, i know it is not directly related to the issue here... but i am from Montreal and with Rogers too...
And want to ask you, what do you think about the phone and how is the network on it so far...

Is there a way to know where it's available and where it's not?
I don't see LTE whatever I'm doing, I even tried to go in *#*#4636*#*# and modify the antenna there... maybe that was the issue I've done.

Even with your suggestion, I'm unable to use band 7 for Rogers, however the tower is like couple of kms away (3-4) so maybe that's the reason why I'm unable to reach it. What I did and that may be the reason why I'm unable to reach it, I reinstalled completly my phone through fastboot since I wanted to remove anything that the seller could have added...
Since I can't connecct on lte, ltemobile.apn removes me of any Internet I could get, I put back internet.com and it was working again but slowly.

Last question on my side, do you use the sim card in slot one or in slot 2 or an hybrid one? I start to think that maybe slot 1 can only achieve 3g connection. I saw couple of answers leading that way.

Hello all,
I know that the phones are advertised as 64GB Internal Storage units. For each specific units, Samsung Unlocked and T-Mobile US, I have some questions.
How much Available Space is for the user? The default Used Space? And the System Memory space used?
What about WiFi calling support? Does the Samsung unlocked version support it?
Screenshots if possible please! Thanks!
i have the samsung unlocked one, and 2 things i have noticed so far.
1. no wifi calling
2. i have spotty coverage, places i get service with my tmobile note 8, i get fewer bars with the unlocked s9 plus

i just enabled it, it has now moved it phone setting and not in general settings

spotty coverage can be explain if you call your carrier and have them your EMIE register..etc...something like that...I had same issue with AT&T because I was using unlocked Samsung and never bothered to call AT&T, but after they added my unlocked phone to their system, it got much better....there's something about SIM....
The most annoying thing for me is how it won't automatically switch from roaming back to T-Mobile when I travel in and out of roaming zones. I can confirm that Band 71 works with the unlocked version! I traveled last night across US 2 and US 52 in North Dakota. I hit Band 71 in Kemmare, and had it to the Canadian border.
