Hi I'm from México, I'm interested to buy H850, but some websites says, that H850 AND H850RT doesnt' support 4G LTE Band 4 AWS and it says they are the same phone, my question is: ¿Does H850 support LTE B4 AWS (1700 /2100)?, I'll buy it on Aliexpress. ***B4 AWS also works on U.S.A*** thanks for your time.

Hey guys...
Someone is offering me a LG L9 from T-Mobile. Just a quick question, this specific model has the 850 MHz band for 3G? I have been reading online and in some places states it does and some other states it doesn't, so I'm kind of confuse right now.
Appreciate your help. Thanks...

Model P769
The device is a Quad-Band hspa device.
according to most sites with specs for this phone here are the bands it supports. Note that you will need to sim unlock it through T-Mobile/Ebay if you wish to put a non-T-Mobile/T-Mobile MVNO sim in the device.
GSM 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS/HSPA 850/1700/1900/2100
Thanks kevev. Regards...
I just ordered an "unlocked" G5 H830 on Ebay, after carefully checking the LTE bands on the FrequencyCheck. I know I need bands 2 and 17 because I used the LTE Discovery App to determine that my carrier (AT&T US) provides LTE on in my area. But I just realized that other sites show different LTE bands for the H830 model...
FrequencyCheck LTE 1/2/3/4/5/7/12/17/30 (I hope this is right because I need Band 17)
The LG Website LTE 2/4/5/12/29/30, Roaming 1/3/7/20, and CA
Autoprime's helpful G5 thread LTE B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B12/B20
Can anyone confirm which of these is correct? Or verify that the H830 cannot use Band 17? Has anyone succeeded in adding LTE bands to the G5? Perhaps as described in this thread about phones with Qualcomm chipsets?
The moral of the story - check multiple websites when selecting a model with the right frequency bands for your carrier/area!

I know it's been a month
For att, band 12 support is equivalent to band 17 support. If you see a phone with band 12, it'll work on att's band 17
(12 is a superset of 17. Att has deployed mfbi on most of their network so that 12 phones can connect to their 17 network
Reverse is not true- 17 phones cannot connect to 12 networks since 17 phones are missing the nonoverlapping stuff in 12
That saying , I can't help with lte bands (h830 may or may not be missing 29/30 which att uses as a third lte layer. Not that important since you can rely on band 12/17/5 as first layer, band 2/4 as second layer)
Is H830 T-Mobile usable in other country with 2600mhz LTE band? Is there a way to unlock it?
Thats my doubt.
Thanks,
I can't find a for sure answer about this, but dual sim is make or break for me. In interested in the current bogo T-Mobile is offering. We use the kickback feature on lines in our dual sim phones and only use the data on the free lines we have so we get $10/mo back using a dual sim phone.

That thread is not talking about if the T-Mobile version of this phone has dual SIM. It's saying the India version isn't working on T-Mobile.

T-Mobile USA sells the regular V30+, not the DS dual SIM model.
The only dual SIM LG V30/V30+ is the H930DS (which is a V30+).
No North American carrier has the dual SIM model. Even the open market LG US998 V30+ is not dual SIM.
I assumed you meant you wanted to buy the H930DS (V30+) variant to use on T-Mobile USA -- which is what those other people tried to do.

Further to what ChazzMatt said, maybe this will help explain it:
Per gsmarena:
T-mobile model:
3G bands HSDPA 850 / 1700(AWS) / 1900 / 2100
4G bands LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 12(700), 20(800), 28(700), 29(700), 40(2300), 41(2500), 66(1700/2100), 71(600)
DS models (no Band 2*, AWS Band 4*, Band 5 (usually AT&T), Band 12*, Band 66*, Band 71*):
3G bands HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 (no AWS Band 4)
4G bands LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 20(800), 28(700), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500)
*current T-mobile Band usage not available on current DS models (though it could be just as simple as flashing the T-mobile software radio though you would need root/bootloader unlock which the DS models are purported not to have) as the DS models usually do not have Band 66 or Band 71 (these are the bands that T-mobile has expanded their LTE network with currently)

Thanks guys! That's a bummer.
US carriers never sell dual SIM phones. They'd rather have you buy two phones

I've been to Brazil six times since 2007.
Yes, LG V30 will work in Brazil, especially if you
1) get one of the North America variants listed below OR
2) even better buy H930DS.... (If you only need in Brazil)
You mostly need LTE bands 3 & 7 for Claro, Vivo, Oi, TIM, Nextel, etc.. But as of 2016, some Brazilian carriers have also started using newer LTE band 28.
If you buy any North America variant (except for T-MOBILE H932, stay away from that), you can convert to carrier unlocked US998 via Frankenstein method and have bands 3 & 7. Or to keep it simple, buy US998 (which is carrier unlocked and has fastboot flash commands, if you ever need them).
LS998, H931, H933, VS996, AS998, US998 are ones you want to look for.
You will be converting to US998, if not already US998.
http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-US998-Unlocked-v30
US998
CDMA: 800 MHz
2G GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
3G UMTS (HSPA):850/900/1900/2100 MHz
4G LTE Bands: 1/2/3/4/5/7/12(17)/13/20/25/66
OR even better buy H930DS (DUAL SIM V30+), if you can find it -- if it's for Brazil and not for U.S. use. It has LTE bands 3, 7 and 28 -- and you can use dual SIM cards, which is popular in Brazil. Plus, it has fastboot flash commands, if you ever need them. IF you buy that, make sure it has "DS" in the name. Because there's also plain H930, H930G, etc.
H930DS:
2G GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
3G UMTS (HSPA): 850/900/1900/2100 MHz +TD-SCDMA 1900MHz (B39) / 2000MHz (B34)
4G LTE: 1/3/5/7/8/20/28 + TD-LTE2600 (B38), TD-LTE1900 (B39), TD-LTE2300 (B40), TD-LTE2500 (B41)
However, H939DS -- while perfect for Brazil -- is missing major LTE bands for U.S. Does NOT have LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 12.

Does this 4G SIM card also allow HSPA?
You're not getting anything, or just not getting LTE?
What LTE band(s) are they using in your area?
They don't make you buy their own phone, do they? Is it Vivo Prepaid or contract?
You tried contacting customer service? Maybe they have to activate something on their end.
Sent via open market LG US998 V30/V30+
no idea if allow HSPA
The phone read the chip( writing vivo on screen) but no service, no lte
Apparently the band is 50. In bahia after a quick search
I got a prepaid and a contract one both not working.. thank you

Hmmm... I not seeing any mention of LTE band 50. Just 3, 7, 28 -- and you're not going to get 28 with US998.

Be careful of the hidden menu on US998 for LTE bands. Choosing one will LOCK you onto that band and it can't change. I had to factory reset mine one time after doing that. There's also another fix, which I can't remember right now.
Okay so any idea. What can I do.
