LG V60 5G network - LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers

Dear,
Apologies if I put the topic in the wrong place. I bought the LG V60 in a European web shop. (alza shop) But the problem arises with the 5G network the device simply does not have the option "5G network mode" There is only automatic and 2G 3G and LTE. I contacted LG myself and got the following answer.
"There are technical dependences here. These dependencies are different per country.
The V60 is 5G capable (for a limited number of bands though) but it does not work for all providers in all countries.
This depends on the V60 suffix as well. If 5G could not be fully tested for a specific provider it is sometimes switch off in software.
In the Netherlands for example 5G on V60 only works for the KPN provider at the moment (Android 10).
If you put in a different SIM card (so not KPN) the device will not show the 5G option.
This situation will change in the future with SW update"
Is there help here and does anyone have any information related to this? Has anyone had a problem like this and has solved it without waiting for the software update ?

Hi!
In Switzerland is the same: the v60 has 5g active only for swisscom operator. I have it now with yallo/sunrise network and it doesn't show any 5g option.
I tried to flash stock rom from poland but still no effect. Probably the limitation is on the radio part of the rom.
Maybe someone here with more knowledge could shed some light on what is the best approach to take...
I was wondering if just by simply unlock the bootloader (now possible on the european version of the v60) we could get a workaround for unlock the radio limitations...

What if i choosed the wrong ROM country?

I am having a problem with 3G network for along time even though we have 3G coverage in my place
i installed lolipop 5.0.1 and it worked perfectly but the 3g problem still
im in north africa but my phone manufactured in brazil ,under the battery it's written ANATEL and a number of 10 digits following it Do you think this phone works only in brazil and only under Alcatel. network ?
now an idea comes into my mind is to install a brazil region ROM with a brazilian carrier , but some told me ROMs are all the same and it won't resolve your problem
Do you think this phone works only in brazil and only under Alcatel. network ?
Dear experts please advice me in my case .....Thank you in advance
Each phone is set to use different bands. So unless the band's match up you will have issues.
but i do not have that carrier in my country here
It's not the carrier. It's the band's that are programmed into the device itself. This is something you have to be very careful about when getting devices from other carriers and countries as they don't all use the same bands.
I would look your phone up and see what bands it supports and then check what bands tour carrier uses. It's most likely they don't use the same ones so you will never see 3g.
so how do i check the programmed band on my phone?
By checking the device under the carrier that it was made for.

LG V30 H932 doesn't work on my carrier but it does work on at least one other carrier

Hey,
My LG V30 H932 was unlocked (using octopus suite) and the IMEI cleaned (confirmation from the IMEI clean received from the original carrier) but it still won't work on my Belgian carrier.
The strange thing is, it does work with another Belgian carrier which uses another network.
I tried restarting the device, setting the right APN, manually selecting the provider (says it can't connect with the network) but nothing worked.
Bootloader is unlocked and device is rooted running stock 7.1.2.
Anyone who knows what to do?
Changing provider is possible but my current provider is cheaper and I get some discounts etc. so it would really suck...
Edit: the network provider of my current carrier confirmed the it's not blacklisted anymore.
Which carriers? Have you checked to see which LTE bands they each use?
The H932 is a US carrier variant (T-Mobile); it only has a small subset of bands available for use, and due to its SoC RSA signature being different from other variants it (probably) can't flash other variants' radios for wider network compatibility.
It would probably be far better to sell what you have and instead buy a US998 (for NA phones), or ideally an H930 (the EU variant) since presumably it would support all Belgium carriers out of the box. However, you might be able to enable bands used by your carrier using the LG hidden menu, if band support is indeed the problem.

Wifi Calling not activated - ROM issue?

Hi
received my Mate 20 Pro 256GB Dual Sim from Trading Shenzen.
So far great device, but missing Wifi calling.
There is no option to activate in settings.
My phone details:
Modell: LYA-AL10
Build Nummer: 9.0.0.161(C00E155R1P20) GPU Turbo
So maybe i had to switch to another firmware.
Wondering in hiSuite: Got information there that i have the newest Developer Version?
So can some assist / help to get wifi calling?
Or is it possible to flash LYA-L29 to this device?
thanks
I've never had WiFi Calling on any Huawei phones running EMUI or Xiaomi phones running MIUI but I am in the United States. MIUI doesn't have any option for WiFi Calling but maybe EMUI does depending on region.
You have the Chinese hardware version so I don't think you will be able to flash any international firmware on it but your best bet to find out would be to contact FunkyHuawei.
In case you haven't heard of them FunkyHuawei is a paid service many Huawei owners use to flash firmware updates, rebrand their phones to different regions, obtain bootloader unlock codes, etc.
I'm not personally endorsing the service (although I have used it) but the person who runs FunkyHuawei would probably be in the best position to answer your question since he reverse engineers the software on Huawei phones and owns Chinese and international variants of the Mate 20 Pro.
Can’t go from China to Non-China
Hi I have the same problems (want to move from Chinese LYA-AL10 to a non-Chinese version such as LYA-L29 for instance).
I ask FunkyHuawei and they replied to me «*cannot go from China to Non-China*»
If someone still manage to do it, please let us know !
Cheers
I have the lya variant I picked up in Malaysia on vacation. WiFi calling does not work with my T-Mobile (US) SIM card. However it does work when I had a Malaysian Sim card in it. The option would show up in the sim settings. From what I read WiFi calling does not work outside of Asia.

It does work outside APAC...I'm in Canada and while my provider (Videotron) has NOT enabled VoLTE and VoWIFI for this phone, I borrowed a Rogers (other CDN provider) SIM and VoLTE and VoWIFI were available. The provider has to enable these features for a particular phone.

LG V60 TM Unlocked Greece 4G/5G Bands

Hello i have imported an LG V60 TM to greece. It is my second time that i import a lg v60 to greece. The first time was 2020, and back at the time that lg v60 TM was having 5G in my county (i dont know how..) now the second time i bought a TM model, i have not all 4g bands and i am missing 5G. The TM is as far as i know app unlocked. What i can do to enable 4g+ or lte or 5g to my lg?
It is now updated to A13.
Thank you all.
Do you by any chance have the model, rom, or any other data from youur previous phone that had 5G?
I'm also in Greece on Cosmote and haven't found a way yet to get 5G on my v60 (TM originaly, but converted to EA). I have tried 6+ roms (v10,11,12) without success. The TM rom might show 5G on the top right but NetMonster says its actually 4G. If you have some luck plese update the thread. Thank you.
No I don't remember the model the rom was definitely TM original. But the main difference from the one I have now. It's that mins now has something that tries to activates network but it failes. And then I did not had that.
Also can you share info about your lg60? Mine says it has LTE but I only can reach 30mbps in Athens . I can see band 3,7,20 but I don't think volTE is working.
I get similar speeds as you in 4G, maybe double in good cell towers. VoLTE, VoWifi never worked after trying many posts on this forum, with rooted device. I decided to stay in stock and check for solutions later. I think I should start looking for JigsawMobile moded modem files and if this doesn't work reinstall my original TM rom backup to get the Android 13 OTA. If anything comes up I'll post updates.
What information would you like from my V60?

Question Problem - 3G During Phone Calls

History:
Recently purchased a S23 Ultra (SM-S918U1) from Samsung USA. Downloaded and flashed the appropriate software for Samsung Canada (SM-S918W) using Patched Odin (3.14.1_3B). CSC, as expected, now reads TLS/TLS,TLS/XAA.
Network mode is set to 5G/LTE/WCDMA/GSM.
Problem:
I have strong signal in my area, 5G, but during phone calls, my signal drops from 5G to 3G (WCDMA) as opposed to the expected LTE+/LTE (4G or 4G+ for anyone outside of North America).
I have changed to a new SIM card and am able to reproduce the issue on my S22 Ultra.
I'm beginning to think it is a carrier issue, Telus, and have escalated to appropriate support tier for a callback.
Is anything else I should be looking for in-between? Specific flashing techniques or tools?
Thanks!
if you dont have VoLTE enabled then your signal goes to 3g during phone calls, its how the network works.

I greatly appreciate your help! I knew it would be something simple.
Enabling VoLTE is no longer available with this Canadian CSC (Telus/TLS).
I tested two devices; my S22 Ultra and Z Flip 4; the Z Flip 4 was purchased directly from Telus Canada, while the S22 Ultra was purchased from Samsung USA.
Following a factory reset and reboot, the Z Flip 4 automatically registers for IMS/VoLTE.
The same cannot be said for the S22 Ultra when running TLS. I see an option to enable 'VoLTE' if I switch back to XAA from XAC, but it doesn't do anything.
It appears the carrier may blacklist non-Telus purchased devices based on specific criteria (e.g., IMEI, serial number, etc).
This was not the case before 2021.
It is a carrier issue. Bell/Telus blocking VoLTE and WiFi Calling on non-Canadian devices that are not sold by Bell/Telus. If you put a Rogers SIM in your device, everything will work because Rogers is not limiting devices by IMEI and model number where Bell/Telus are!
File a CCTS complaint. The more they get. The hope that something will be done about it. They will also block your device from roaming on to US carriers and block 911 access as well. I get a text every month from Telus saying, "
TELUS Message: Hi J********, as you may be aware, carriers in the U.S. stopped supporting mobile devices on 3G networks.
You’re currently using a 3G phone that connects to 3G networks and the next time you roam in the U.S., you will no longer be able to use data, text or make phone calls - including 911.
To stay connected in the U.S., you need to replace your phone with an LTE or 5G capable phone.

I purchased mine from T-Mobile USA and use it with my T-Mobile SIM and Telus eSIM. I am on the U1 firmware.
Just call the Telus, telling them you brought a S23u from Samsung Canada. The model is S23 Ultra or SM-S918W. They will "apply the IMS registration profile" to enable the VoLTE and WifiCalling. That's how I did on my S918B. You don't need to change the CSC at all.
Thank you all for your excellent responses. I appreciate your help.
Telus' advanced support confirmed that non-Canadian Samsung devices are being blocked
Telus requests IMEIs from Samsung and registers IMS (VoLTE/WiFi Calling) if it matches the corresponding devices.
Google and Apple are the only exceptions. These criteria do not apply to them.
The next stop for me is the CRTC. If this concerns you as a resident of Canada, more information can be found here:

Telephone service problems can be resolved by making a complaint to the phone company, CCTS or CRTC.

This is actually what I was planning to do but before I could ask, they, the Telus Rep., had already identified it as non-Telus device.

CRTC won't do anything, neither will CCTS. They claim networks can do this for the "safety" of their network. Only Rogers allows US devices to use VoLTE for some reason.
I went through this last year.

Won't last sorry. If your IMEI isn't on the whitelist it will be eventually kicked off the profile.
