Hi,
I have just received my Le Max 2. I can't seem to get LTE/4G on my phone. My carrier uses band 4, 7 and 17 which are all supported by the phone.
Is there something I need to do in the settings to receive LTE/4G?
Thank you
EDIT: I had to setup the LTE APN manually. It's solved!

Hello. I have an SM-G925F which I bought from Telekom Macedonia and I am still using my number from there also but I am currently in the US and would like to use it on T-Mobile USA.
I know that the device supports all the same bands as the SM-G925T model.
The problem I am having is that when my phone is set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM in the Network Mode settings, I do not have any data connection at all, only when I make a call, I start to get a data connection but only 3G/H+. If I switch my setting to WCDMA/GSM, then I get a data connection at all times like normal but it still is only 3G/H+. I have tried two different APNs and different settings in the APN but I still cannot get a data connection at all times on the LTE/WCDMA/GSM setting and I cannot get LTE/4G at all.
After contacting T-Mobile, all they came up with is to try to have the same software reinstalled on my phone. Does anyone have any experience with this and can anyone help me?
Anyone?
Call Tmobile and have them input your phone's IMEI in their system. Ask for the APN settings as well. I am on the same boat and one call to ATT got me from H to 4G. Your phone will just show 4G, not LTE but you will get LTE speeds regardless.
I tried doing that too. I called T-Mobile a few times and they confirmed my IMEI number being on the account but still no luck. It's really weird..sometimes I get 3G/H+ on the "LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)" network mode setting on the phone but most of the time, I get NO DATA connection at all..only the signal bars.
Any Update
Did you finally figure it out? Is LTE working now?
Hello everyone, I think I made a mess...
I have a Le Max 2 X820, I went to the secret menu (*#*#4636#*#*) > phone info > 3 dots menu > select radio band > and i selected "band mode 6". All of this because I had 4G signal issues.
I thought I had solved because the 4G worked perfectly but I just found out that I can not make calls! While I try to call someone it loses the signal and displays a network error.
I tried to reflash the ROM, to flash another ROM with all the wipes, tried to reflash stock modem.zip but nothing! I am desperate! Please help me
EDIT: On the second SIM slot it works, I can make calls
EDIT 2: if I do a manual network search in slot 1 only appears 4G but if I do a network scan on slot 2 appear 4G, 3G and 2G so I can make calls
I did what you did 2 weeks ago on my x829,i think both options band 6 and usa bands just disabled 2g and 3g bands and i can get it to work with qpst or qxdm easily.

According to the specification sheet, my Le Max 2 (Model X820) has all the bands required for Verizon. I am always interested in finding out whether it can be used on Verizon network, and if so, how. I have done quite a bit of experiments and would like to share my findings.
First thing first, and I am sure most of us know it - you cannot activate a Verizon SIM using this phone. It must be an activated Verizon SIM that you pop into this phone.
I am using an Xfinity Mobile SIM, which uses Verizon. It is not a Verizon prepaid or post-paid SIM. I do not think it makes any difference in my experiment though.
I can get one of the two working conditions: (1) 3G voice + 3G data, or (2) 4G data but no voice. In case (1), the phone is connected to Verizon’s EvDo network. Voice works fine. Data also works, but it is only 3G. In a phone call, data is disconnected, which is what an EvDo network does. In case (2), LTE data works, but Voice is out of service. I did try VoLTE but to no luck (The same SIM works fine with VoLTE in a Nexus 6P).
To me, only case (1) is a workable solution. When one would like to think in case (2), we can supplement Verizon’s LTE data with voice from another SIM. It does not work. When LTE data is set to use Verizon, the other SIM does not work at all. Some people may be fine with Hangouts or a VoIP solution though.
For a dual-SIM set up, it goes like this: SIM 1 – Verizon, for voice/SMS, SIM 2 – ATT or T-Mobile, for data. The drawback is that when you are in a call, data is disconnected.
But even for such a set up to work, there is some work to be done. Based on my limited knowledge of how Verizon’s CDMA network works, it seems that for voice to work, some provisioning must be done (information such as MDN, PRL, etc.). I find that this provisioning is only doable in a Chinese stock ROM. Once that is done, use TWRP to make a copy of the EFS partition. That is my savior. With such a “provisioned” EFS, it is possible to use Verizon in custom ROMs such as RR or lineage. If this EFS partition is overwritten, then the phone will not work with Verizon in case (1).
I know in the past, people have used software such as CDMA workshop, or Qualcomm’s programming software to set parameters for CDMA network. I do not know if it will work for this phone or not. But that is clearly beyond my skill level.
How do you get 3g voice and 3g data work?
Heyyo, tbh I made a build of LineageOS 15.1 with some kanged verizon files from Sagit (Xiaomi Mi6) but of course I can't test it as I am in Canada... if you're willing to try it out and report your testing it would be appreciated.

I cannot test it since I am not on lineage. Op mentioned he can get 3g voice and 3g data. I would wonder how to get those since I only get 4g data.

Sorry for a late response.
For 3G voice and data to work, I chose to force 3G in settings. I used the RR ROM. Settings --> More --> Cellular networks --> Preferred network type: Choose 3G instead of LTE.
You can also use the dialer, enter *#*#4626#*#*, then Phone information. You can choose network mode there too.
Honor 9N is a latest budget phone from Huawei Honor.
For Indian customers, it comes with network settings as 4 options ( LTE/WCDMA/GSM Auto), (WCDMA, GSM Auto), (WCDMA only) and (GSM only).
While the network signal is weak we don't get LTE band as it jumps down to the lower signal WCDMA or GSM.
Here I will explain how to enable LTE only option in settings.
Steps:
Download the app : Settings database editor
Scroll down and look for "hw_networkmode_preference" and change its value from "9,3,2,1" to "9,3,2,1,11". save it.
Then restart your device.
Now the LTE only option will be available in Settings > Mobile Network.
Remember one thing : You will no longer receive or make a call when you are in LTE only signal. It's because only Jio supports 4G calls (VoLTE).
If you are using any other Network Service like Vodafone In, Idea... Etc, use LTE only option only when it's needed and change into ( LTE/WCDMA/GSM Auto) later to receive calls.

Changing LTE bands
I bought Honor 9N in India. To my disappointment, I cannot use it with T-Mobile in the U.S. Is there any way to change it? (Full confession: My knowledge of software/hardware is pretty poor)

I got this oppo and 5G not working (not even an option to select in sim options), i tried 3 different sims, no 5G.
I have the Vivo X Fold and 5G working great.
What can be the reason?
Look for Force LTE in the Play Store, open and select Method 2, then for your band selection scroll to the bands starting with NR.
I don't believe the changes stick after a reboot and I'm not sure we will get 5G speeds but since I have Mint (T-Mobile towers), I selected a band package with NR/LTE/GSM in it. So far I've learned NR=5G, LTE=4G, GSM=2G and I need GSM band for my calls to come through. There are many bands to choose from so play around with it but this was the ONLY way I was able to get 5G to show up in the notification bar on this phone.
Hope this helps!
I've noticed that 5ghz Wi-Fi networks are not detected on my find n no matter what I do. Only 2.4ghz networks show up. Is that normal?
