Couldnt find relevant thread but curious as to if nexus 4 has unadvertised LTE capabilities (atleast of canadian carriers), why isnt Optimus G pentaband like nexus 4. I guess answer can be as simple as different hardware but AFAIK they're based on same hardware, aren't they?
Simple...the Nexus 4 does not have LTE

Usually you cant boost all frequencies with only 1 amplifier.
And as i know, Nexus4 doesnt have one and has poor LTE reception.
The radio itself supports every wireless format (Gsm/wcdma/cdma/lte) as i know.
So its question of guaranteed quality i guess. And some royalties need to be payd

It has LTE in Canada.
My optimus G have LTE... optimus g L-01E
Same question on my mind actually.
With Wind Mobile up here in Canada. Uses the AWS frequencies like T-Mobile.
Would the AT&T Optimus G work if I plugged my sim in?

I have wondered does galaxy nexus lte network work in European? Because European model doesn't have lte network and has only 16gb of memory so I was thinking that I would buy nexus from Verizon if that lte network would work in Finland. Could someone smart tell me if it is possible thanks

Won't work. The frequencies are all different.
And here in Finland 4g is already working but I don't know does nexus support only Verizon network that isn't in here

The LTE version is CDMA/LTE. European carriers are all GSM. And to my knowledge, there aren't any big LTE networks yet being rolled out there...
So no, it won't work at all. Even if you got ahold of an LTE SIM from a local LTE carrier it wouldn't work with the frequencies in the Verizon device.
Okey thanks.. I will buy European model then

Verizon LTE model is using band 13 700mhz radio and it'd factory locked to Verizon. You guys are using 800mhz/2600mhz as far as I know so it will most definitely not work.
Just go for the HSPA+ version.

Hey, I'm looking at replacing my HTC Vivid (capable of 4G LTE) with a Galaxy Nexus.....however as AT&T's LTE network expands I'd like to be able to use it...
So, my question is this: Does the Galaxy Nexus from Google Play (AT&T version) have LTE capabilities?

Nope.

In short, no. But for future reference, if you need to know if a phone is compatible with AT&T LTE look to see if it is GSM with the 700MHz radio/band in the specifications. Verizon uses the 700MHz as well but they are CDMA phones so they should be easy to spot.
Hey guys,
So I know this may be a noob question but I bought my Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 yesterday in Italy. I know that Italy is getting 4G/LTE in 800/1800/2600 Frequencies. My N7100 accepts the 1800 mhz GSM frequency.
Does that mean I will be able to access the 4G?
If not, can I do something? Flash a radio?
If there is no solution with my current phone, ill need to get another phone and spend another 699 eur.
I know many say you need the Note II LTE but it will be on 700 and 2100, not the ones offered in Italy.
My friend has the same issue with his brand new SIII.
Ideas? Anyone help?
2G, 3G and 4G (LTE) can use various freqs in different regions. Sometimes they even share the same freq. A 1800Mhz 3G does not mean that 1800Mhz 4G will work. It's different a modem by hardware and software in the phone.

So there is absolutely nothing that I do? What about flashing new modems?

Your N7100 doesn't have an LTE radio, so it is never going to work on LTE.

That depends on the LTE bands that the device supports. You are looking for LTE band 3, which is 1800MHz.

The official LTE versions of the Note 2 and S3 from Hong Kong are tri-band LTE models. Running LTE bands 900mhz 1800mhz and 2600 mhz. So as long as your carrier has LTE in any of those bands it will work. The iphone 5 is only 1800mhz. I am currently using 4G on 1800 and 2600mhz as my carrier runs both bands.

I was under the impression that the Rogers model wouldn't work on Bell's LTE network, but I still manage to get intermittent connection to it.
The specs show the E971 as having 700/2600 bands, while the E973 has 700/AWS.
Any thoughts? It's clearly not the best connection. It's on and off, but I still manage to get it.
Sent from my LG-E971 using xda app-developers app
Bell is co-owner of the 2600 spectrum, that might explain it.
Actually I looked in the service menu and the phone has many LTE bands, not just the two "official" ones. This would explain why I was able to connect to Bell's LTE. A guy at the office had the Telus model and he had the exact same bands when we looked in his service menu.

The service menu is generic. You have it even when you flash to E975 or F180 rom.

Ah, so they don't modify the menu based on hardware? Makes it somewhat pointless then.

Not necessarily pointless. My E971 will connect to LTE when I pick band 4 which is not even listed in the specs. But I can't tell for sure if it is using Band 4 or not.
So personally I think the E971 can run LTE on 700/2100 and 2600.

Do you find you have an easy time connecting to a non-Rogers LTE network? I could connect at the office, but now I can't anymore, even though my One X has a full strength LTE signal. The Optimus can't seem to correct anymore. Maybe I screwed something up.

Good to know it's not just me then. I haven't been able to connect to LTE since Tuesday night or so while my Note 2 sits on it all day. I even went and got a new sim.
Maybe the 2600Mhz frequency is down.
Where are you located?

I'm in Toronto, using a E971 on the Bell network. I believe Bell uses the 1700 LTE frequency.
Bell uses Band 4 which is 1700/2100 and Band 7 which is 2600 which is the same as Rogers. However Bell's Band 7 coverage is relatively unknown.
Rogers claims that wherever they have Band 4, they have Band 7 too.
The E971 specs only list Band 17 which is 700 and Band 7. So if Band 7 coverage is down, we get no LTE.

Makes sense, and explains why I was able to get LTE at the office but not at my house. I rectified the issue by selling my E971 and buying the E973. Problem solved!

Here's an interesting report, a new LG model showed up at the FCC, the LS-980, first tri-band LTE phone with Sprint frequencies to be approved by the FCC, is this going to be a new LG Optimus G coming to Sprint?
Link: http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=12696
The FCC approved the LG LS-980. The phone supports all three frequency bands Sprint plans to use for LTE in the coming years. It's the first such phone to gain the FCC's approval, although the company Sprint currently uses the 1900 band (band 25) for LTE, but in the coming year will start deploying LTE in the 800 and 2500 bands the company acquired from Nextel and Clearwire, respectively. FCC documents show that the LG LS-980 also supports CDMA, as well as GSM and WCDMA for global roaming. NFC is also included. The FCC approved a potentially related VS-980 phone with Verizon frequency bands the day before.

A smartphone bearing the model number LG LS980 has just passed through the FCC, and it's a dead ringer for a G Pro destined for Big Yellow. Not only does its model number jive with the other carrier-specific incarnations of LG's device, but it packs support for Now Network-friendly CDMA and LTE over band 25, alongside the usual GSM radio. There's no telling when the Now Network will start offering the phone, but federal approval means it's clear to arrive when LG pleases.

I'm contemplating on purchasing this but I'm unsure of how well the development for this device will be. But for Triband it'll be AWESOME! We'll see what the specs are before I decide, though.
Yeah I will buy this device if there is enough development following. The weird thing is I feel that my lgog is better than any HTC phone I've ever had and its much better looking than anything out there. I absolutely hate the galaxy phones. Wish more people felt like me so we would have a bigger dev field. Thanks to those that do!

After purchasing this phone, I think I may stick to LG. I just read an article on flipbook that they are coming out with a G branded Tablet, Hub, and TVs. The G2 looks promising, and the phone above sounds promising. The article also stated that LG smartphones did very well this year, better than any other. IMO the G was the sleeper of 2012/13 thus far. After using this phone I'd def buy future G series phones.
If this does end up being the G2, it will be my next phone. My wife just upgraded to the Optimus G from an Optimus S and I am very impressed with her phone. I'm still rocking the OG EVO just waiting for a worthy upgrade that supported triband LTE. It looks like this phone will fit the bill!

Went from the LG Optimus S for 2 years then to the Galaxy Nexus for 2 months because I saw the new OG. Almost a year with my baby. If this truly is the G2 then this will be my next phone.
