I brought an international version from Amazon (Duo Sim) and have been having GPS issues intermittently with a few of my driving apps? Have anyone have any experiences getting support/repair services with the international version? It seems like the international version gets less support over in north america since it is not a NA model. much appreciated for any help

The LG G5 has problems with the GPS antena. Many threads here about people sending their devices for repairs. It's a known G5 problem.

Hi everybody,
The previous HOX was not supporting the 3G data on t-mobile due to lack of HSDPA 1700 as far as I realized. It seems that the same problem remains with the new HOX+ too since it cannot support HSDPA 1700.
Does anybody know something about it?
Thanks in advance

airportal.de (site works on laptops but not good on phones at least for me)
I think when T-mobile refarms the area you live in this might give you 3g for unlocked ATT phones and international versions also.

I hope it goes as you said in our region. I've seen an AT&T version of HOX+ which will support more Network frequencies as well as LTE. Would it really matter in my case? Should I go with the unlocked AT&T version or an international version?
I'm waiting until the dust settles on the refarming and on the next batch of nexus phones. Then the selections and used prices should really improve.

Now there is also a Telus HTC One X+.
Does anyone know if it will work on Wind Mobile in Canada?
Is the US version of the Z5 compact separate hardware? Or is it the e5823 with custom software for the US that has full Tmo support?
I read that they dropped the fingerprint sensor for the US versions of the z5 and z5c.

This is why I'm asking if the hardware is different or just software. So we know if we can keep the e5823 and just get software.

What do you mean by "full Tmo support?" Do you mean VoLTE and WiFi calling? Unless it's a T-Mobile branded phone it will probably not support those things. I've had several unlocked Android phones on T-Mo and they did not have those features (including my Z3 Compact and Z5 Compact). The only one that comes close is the iPhone which does have WiFi calling on T-Mobile when using the unlocked version (because, I assume, they have no branding anyway).
We must have made our threads very close. I was asking the same thing. On one hand, the US version doesn't have the fingerprint scanner but may have better radios for the US carriers.. On the other hand if the international version has the same radios, it's also cheaper. Not sure what to do as I don't seem to have a clear answer.

This is not accurate. Nexus 5x, 6p, HTC One A9 all have proper T-Mo support including Band 12, VoLTE, HD Voice and WiFi Calling and are unlocked/unbranded. Pretty sure Moto X does too.

OK. I had a Nexus 5X and I don't remember support for WiFi calling, but I only had it for two days. My Sony devices don't support it.
I guess the correct answer is it depends on the device.

According to Amazon site for Z5 Compact "Fingerprint sensor is not supported." (see last line of specs under "From the Manufacturer.") Read: It's there, but without software support.
This leads me to believe that hardware is identical to E5803 or E5823 and only fingerprint sensor software/drivers are not included in US customization.
That makes more sense than Sony building a completely different model for the US market that they would have to support with different parts, etc.
Also means that someone with a US variant should try flashing a non-US customization and see if the sensor 'awakens.'

Yes, that probably would work. You can get it more easily buying one from Clove UK with the sensor software already functional.
Granted you'd have to return it to Clove for warranty support but I wonder how a US distributor would handle warranty support on a phone with a different customization. I suppose you could put the US version back on it for support.
Looks like the bands are better for US carriers including the infamous band 12 for Tmobile. Think I'll go this route since I'm on Tmobile

Doesn't add up because the original Z5c had B12, just no VoLTE.

Hmm. This is what I'm trying to figure out for sure. Obviously if I can get away with a UK model and still have the same bands.. It will save me money. Just read that b12 was NOT on the UK and Asian models. Do you have a source?

when i was in florida/miami i got a t-mobile card, it worked fine, but it almost always showed that i had a very bad signal.
i have a nordic yellow z5c.
also, wtf is up with the prices 60$ for unlimited calling in the states and 3gb surf.

I'm using an Asian model and get a band 12 signal on T-Mobile according to LTE Discovery
I ordered mine from amazon, and am using on T-Mobile, it does have fingerprint sensor. Pretty sure there is one model that supports pretty much every band there is. US model is the same except the fingerprint sensor as I read in the news, not sure how I can tell mine is US model as it is not indicated anywhere.
Ever since I got out of my contract and started using prepaid I never bought a single phone from a carrier. ****ty logos, apps and sometimes software, and apparently now different hardware? No thanks..

Hello everyone. I'm fairly new here.
I had a moto e4 plus but I'm ditching it as I've bought a redmi 5 plus 4 /64 (I believe) from eglobal.
The terrible thing is that I don't know which carrier it works on. I didn't do much research. I just read that it was really good for the money so I bought it impulsively.
It's all my fault, I know.
Can anyone be so kind as to tell me what carrier it'll work on? I tried to do it myself but all the different bands and networks and frequencies confused me.
I'm in the USA in Texas, if that helps any.
Thank you in advance.

All those letters and numbers confuse me.
Would you kindly tell me what carriers I'll be able to use with this device?
T-mobile, boost, virgin, etc...

There is a suggestion why don't you borrow sim card from any of your friend and check either it will work or not.
Or you may go to service center and try different carriers.
Redmi 5 Plus supports almost all kind of popular carriers I am from Pakistan and have friends of almost all countries and they use use redmi 5 plus with carriers available at their country.
Regards
The problem is that everyone I know uses Boost mobile so I have no way of testing it on other carriers. I don't think I can test on Boost because they don't use sim cards.
I think I saw on YouTube that I'll be able to use AT&T, cricket wireless and T-mobile. Can anyone confirm?
Ps. I don't actually have the phone yet. Supposed to arrive Thursday.

The global version should work on most popular carriers. I can't say for the US but for the PH, Smart and Globe (carrier duopoly) work perfectly fine and support voLTE
Hello, I bought an LG G8X from USA (model # LM-G850UM) which has the Sprint firmware on it. Is it possible to convert it to the Canadian firmware and lock the bootloader after flashing it? The goal is to be able to use Wifi calling from Freedom Mobile which is not available with the current firmware. Furthermore, I want to be able to use Google Pay and Netflix if at all possible.
I did not find any links on the net to download the Canadian firmware.
I have the LMG850EMW variant in India and am facing severe issues with JIO on LTE. The network indicator keeps flipping between LTE and LTE+. I have not seen an update since March 24th. This phone has given me the worst experience so far. Unfortunately this guide seems to only work for single SIM variants.

Hi,
I would like to buy this device which has become unavailable in Europe. So I should get an unlocked US version (AT&T, Verizon, T-mobile), I just have no idea what LTE bands they have, nor how it works for updates for these variants.
Thanks to anyone who wants to help this noob

Check out this link:. https://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=6216
I would imagine your would get updates on the schedule of the service provider that it originally was sold from. Updates from providers are usually behind factory unlocked versions. I would see if I could find one that was an international unlocked version.

The version most similar to the international version is the Canadian, precisely Lmv600tm2x (from what I understand)

It doesn't look like LG released an international model of the phone. I found a few on eBay that started they were unlocked and would work internationally though.

Yes, in fact he did not release them, unfortunately. They are all connected to some telephone operator ... However, the Canadian model has almost all global bands, which (it seems) the US models do not have.
