Anyone has information on how to unlock band 4 LTE?
Hello,
I tried to unlock the band 4 on my Redmi 3 Pro without success, using the turorials found on divers webiste / forum.
I'in Canada using Rogers network I need the band 4, 7 and 17 to be fully functionnal.
but no luck so far.
No tutorials for lte are working
Indeed, looks like an Urban Legend

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.

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?

i'm still facing some problem with the calls but overall it's working.

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.

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?
Hello guyz
I suggested my bro to buy a titan 2 so he bought maniacstore DOT COM (forums not allowing to post links)
so he agreed as the phone was unlocked & the specs were great at this price point
He got the phone today but the problem is whenever he inserts his sim (NOT mini sim) he doesnt gets any network, im damn sure the phone is unlocked bcoz it doesnt asks for unlock code when he enters his TATA DOCOMO sim card...yes, we live in India
I've searched the web but with no luck so finally i saw no other choice than asking experts like u guyz...plz help i dont want to get blamed
PS:- will hard reset work...i read somewhere on web about this
there were 2 instances where he got network & then it again disappeared
Do you have LTE-network in India? What band widths do have? These are the networks the phone is compatible with:
GSM/GPRS/EDGE
850/900/1800/1900MHz
3G - UMTS/HSDPA
UMTS 850/1900/2100MHz
and 4G LTE

A word of the wise...a carrier with one star average from 329 reviews from this web site would have me take notice if I were you; next here in the US and many other places there is eBay...one of the things I've learned along the way is what a company is selling or advertising is not always the truth. You need to find out if this phone is "clean". You need to find out what the network specs are for this carrier and if they are compatible with the Titan II and please do your homework. I never heard of this carrier until now; I did a Google Search and found this - http://www.mouthshut.com/mobile-operators/tata-docomo-mobile-operator-reviews-925107377 and this - http://www.tatadocomo.com/customer-care.aspx
You have try with HTC Connection Setup?
##3282# >>setings >> Network type >> 2G only or 3G only.
I have a htc titan 2 in CLARO Colombia and was working form arround a month and now doesn't work , i have tried in the 3 companies, claro, movistar and tigo
any suggestions
thanks!
Perhaps your phones have been IMEI blacklisted? By the way does anyone knows where can I buy an HTC Titan 2? This model never got launched here in Europe. Cheers

I have been reading and searching online to find the definitive answer to this question. I am currently using a straight talk compatible sim in my verizon galaxy s4 and it works great - of course straight talk does not use LTE so I am limited to 3g speeds. I'm also trying to find out if it is possible to use a tmobile sim in the verizon galaxy s4 and get 3g speeds? How about LTE? The appropriate radios seem to be installed but I am not sure if that is enough. Has anyone done any testing on this front?
Thanks!
If you go into your hidden menus and dig around enough you will find options to enable the WCDMA and GSM radios. Back when I tanked my sim card I was digging through the menus for hours and at one point under network options I could see AT&T and T-Mobile signal even though I didn't have the SIM to actually connect.
I would imagine if I had the sim I could have connected no problem.
But because the menus are so deep and obnoxiously laid out, I don't have more specifics on where all to navigate to find the right options.

Do you think there are options to enable different radio frequencies? I could connect to the Tmo GSM towers but couldn't get an LTE data signal.
Where were you looking in the menus?

You didn't get any signal because nothing was turned on in your hidden menus to allow it.
And yes, loads of frequencies listed for LTE, WCDMA, and GSM.
You have to enable hidden menu. Then start digging. Like I said there are too many options/submenus for me to remember exactly where everything was.
If someone really wants to get their phone on another network it is possible. They just have to really want it and therefore really put in the time to dig.

Band 4 LTE is disabled by the software on Verizon Galaxy S4. It will have band 4 LTE enabled when Verizon activates Band 4. They will release the firmware update that will enable it. So far you can only get 3g on 1.9 Ghz, 850 Mhz and 900 Mhz and 2g egde with gsm simcard.

The latest update from 4.2.2 to 4.3 has an update in it to enable band 4 aws that vzw will be using. Once you've updated to 4.3, it's just a matter of waiting for vzw to turn on band 4 in your area.

It's really not that hard. You just need to be able to add the APN for T-Mobile. The VZ phone is already unlocked. I also just flashed one of mine back to the MDK baseband (radio/modem) and it also supports T-Mobile LTE where I am. Coincidentally, it gets 2 bars + LTE in this particular location in LA whereas the T-Mobile GS4 with Tmob radio is getting 1 bar + LTE.

Sorry, I'm afraid that one's not going to (easily) happen. The phone may or may not have the hardware for it, but you'd need the right radio to enable the LTE band that AT&T uses. Right now, I don't know of one, and I don't feel like playing with the AT&T radios to see if they would happen to flash properly to enable things. T-Mobile & AT&T use relatively identical phones and can run LTE on each other's respective networks. So, I'd say, use one of their hardware sets on AT&T. I use AT&T LTE on a Nexus 5 and a T-Mobile GS4, but I can only get H+ on the VZ GS4 on AT&T. The VZ phone does do the T-Mobile LTE band just fine, though.

I was able to get LTE with AIO Wireless sim by toggling to LTE/GSM Auto(PRL). It seems to pickup Band 4 for ATT.
My 2 cents.
Does this still work?
I have a heightened interest in switching to T-Mobile now that they will pay for my early termination fee. I have a rooted VZW S4, added a new apn, and I am using an older sim card but i can't get it to connect to t-mobiles network. What all needs to be done to my phone in order for it to work. I did some research and saw that tmobile and verizon have the same LTE frequency and band.
EDIT (1/10/2014: I bought an activation kit at Walmart and activated the sim card. I am not connected.
I'm also using a Verizon Galaxy S4 with Straight Talk (ATT SIM). I have voice and text, but no data. I've changed the APN with no luck. I tried it in my Verizon Galaxy S3 and received E (Edge data) which was CRAZY slow. Any suggestions? I have a ATT Galaxy S4 Active being delivered today, so I guess it doesn't really matter, but very curious why I can't get any data on my Verizon S4 through Straight Talk.
If this helps anyone
This is how I have LTE with T-Mobile working on a Verizon S4...
I am getting 4Glte on my vzw S4 using tmobile prepaid!
When I got tmobile I was only getting H+ and 3g and all of a sudden I start getting 4Glte! I love it!

I have US T-Mobile for my provider, and when I landed in Japan I didn't receive any cell phone signal, unlike other countries where the phone would hop onto a network and then I'd receive a text message from T-Mobile saying something like, "Welcome to [country]. Enjoy unlimited 3G and text messaging, phone calls are 20 cents per minute." Does the phone work in Japan? I took the phone to SoftBank because my wife's LG G3 was able to hop onto their network when we landed, but the guy at the counter said that the phone may not be allowed to work on the Japanese network, and to find out the regulatory information about the phone. He then showed me how to look up regulatory information on an iPhone, but the Moto E (as well as my wife's G3), didn't have regulatory information listed in the legal information menu.
Anyway, this is what Motorola lists for bands for the phone:
Moto E with 4G LTE - US GSM (XT1527):
GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
UMTS/HSPA+ (850, 1700 (AWS), 1900 MHz)
4G LTE (2, 4, 5, 7, 17)
Any help or suggestions is appreciated.
Thanks!
I took the phone to ntt docomo today, and they tested it out without any luck. However, my wife's LG G3 passed with flying colors. So now she's on the docomo network with one of their SIM cards.
First I'd suggest selecting 3g only in settings.

If that doesn't fix it, follow the instructions in the link below to create an alternate T-Mobile apn and try that. I've been in Osaka recently and I can't remember if my phone worked or not, I think I had to switch to my nexus 5 there, but I can't remember. Hope this helps. https://forums.motorola.com/posts/2fc3b123a0

Just got my 10 Pro delivered yesterday and for the most part it is absolutely fantastic. However for those in the UK like me considering (wait for the global) I say this as on the Chinese version Band 20 is disabled and you won't be able to get 4G.
Having bought many Chinese devices Vivo, Oppo this was the first one for me not to support band 20. I never looked into it as from previous all was fine.
Currently there is no way from what I have read to get band 20 working , So consider this before you purchase.
That aside I'm delighted with it ......:good:

I have one to, I can't get 4G on O2 but I get great 4G on Vodafone. What network are you on?
It's shame there's no way of getting band 20, I was hoping it could be unlocked. Didn't realise until it was delivered [emoji24]

I'm with Tesco Mobile (essentially 02) but have tried with my Voxi sim which is Vodafone and that doesn't work either , let me try again though, if it's working for you then I'll try adding the APN settings manually for the Voxi Sim :good:

Vodafone uses band 20 for 4g but has 2 other bands also, you must be in an unlucky area that only has band 20, in a few months 5g will be up in more places so I'm not too worried
