Greeting all,
please help me for those who live in USA or anyone know about this LG E975 unlock will work in USA AT&T for calls and data
I know 4g will not work but i'm asking 3g or H will work?
I found one has Operating Freq GSM - 850, 900, 1800, 1900; UMTS - 2100

It will work for calls and data but data will be 2G. AT&T uses 850/1900 frequencies for 3G and 3.5G and the E975 you found only supports 2100. So, to answer your question, 3G will simply not work.
I have Korean LG G Pro F240L
everything works alright except that it doesn't fully use it's 3g capabilities
I live in an area where 3G signal is not that stable, usually 2-4 bars, signal can drop for a few seconds every now and then, I use telstra in Australia, which use 850Mhz/2100Mhz 3G network (850 in most areas, 2100 only for extra coverage)
I set the network preference as Auto, the trouble is that most of the time the phone sticks to 2G/GPRS with small icon on the top showing "G",
and if I want to use 3g I have to go to the network setting and change it from auto to "WCDMA only", the network will change to 3g (icon on top showing 3g) with signal strength about 2-4 bars
obviously with unstable 3g signals I can't keep it "WCDMA only" all the time, so I have to change it back to auto.
once it's in auto the phone will not revert to GPRS straightaway, it will keep going with 3g for a while and then if there is a drop of 3g signal it will then change to 2g/gprs and stay that way.
is there anyway to set the phone in "3g preferred" state where 3g is utilized automaticly whenever the internet is needed? (as far as I know, no such option exists).
do you have any trouble with your 3g settings? please share, thanks
I have discovered something new
in the hidden menu-WCDMA service menu-GSM/WCDMA band, when you click on WCDMA 1900 and WCDMA 2100, it shows success, whereas when you click on WCDMA 850 it displays fail
it seems that the phone is not using the stable 850 band at all, rather it relies on the 2100 band, this explains the erratic signal strength
I did a bit more digging
the band frequency for korean providers are
SK (S) 2G (CDMA) 800, 3G (UMTS/HSPA) 2100, 4G (LTE) 850/1800
LG U+ (L) no 2G, 3G (CDMA/EVDO)1800, 4G (LTE) 850/2100
KT (K) no 2G, 3G (UMTS/HSPA) 2100, 4G (LTE) 850/900/1800
also
telstra 2G (GSM/EDGE) 900/1800, 2G (UMTS/WCDMA/HSPA) 850 (main 99% population) /2100 (minor), 4G (LTE) 1800
AT&T (E980) 2G(GSM/GPRS/EDGE) 850/1900, 3G(UMTS/HSPA) 850/1900
strange that there doesn't seem to be direct connection/conflict between telstra bands and the LG U+ bands, i.e. if my F240L is able to use GSM and WCDMA 2100, why not WCDMA 850
I believe G pro is a global phone that supports all communication standards
I am unsure about the root of the problem, is it the matter of settings (i.e. can be solved by tweaking the service menu), or the problem of incompatible radio (hence can be solved by flashing appropriate radio)
also is there anyway to tell the band frequency the phone is using? I did my search and nothing yielded, I believe there is no such solution
my question comes down to how to enable/unlock 850 band on this phone?
If you use AT&T and have a korean phone, do you have similar problem? (as shown above AT&T partly relies on 850 band as well)
also if i guess right the problem is not limited to LG G Pro, any LG Korean phone potentially will have similar issues, I tried search optimus G forum but nothing turned up.
Same problem, korean phone wrong band

I got mine yesterday and have the same problem. Is it possible to select the band? mine is the SK version and I need to work with the AT&T band, can I just flash a new radio band? How do I get to the hidden menu?
Thanks!
I have kind of same problem with my f240
i guess if the at&t stock rom could resolve those problems
edit:
service menu:
5457#*240#
hidden menu:
3845#*240#
no
I have since learned that basebands are all hardware encoded, at least for LG phones, and there is no way to enable WCDMA 850 band if it is not originally supported by the phone, flashing the radio will not change the hardware capability of the phone
The Korean LG G pro supports only
2G : 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
3G : 900/2100 MHz
4G, LTE: F240K - 900/1800 MHz (Band 8 & 3) F240S - 850/1800 MHz (Band 5 & 3), F240L - 850/2100 MHz (Band 5 & 1)
I have since change the network provider (who provides 3G on 2100 band), it's not ideal but it's the only solution for me
pls correct my if I am wrong
i have LU6200
inside my house 3G is suck, so i use GSM Only mode, but i only get G signal which mean GPRS i think and it is very slow. How to enable 2G/EDGE so i can get faster internet than GPRS?
Hi, I have F240k the 3G over 900 Mhz band is imposible.. I dont know if my phone is broken or I need flash with any new Kernel or something.. if any one can help to me would be very apreciate
3G over 2100Mhz is nice.
Gprs over 900 Mhz work fine but very very slow.
thank in advance

Hi I also have F240K from a week. I can't managed sim to work. Don't have any signal 2G/3G.
I tried most of the methods described here without success (flashing Telcel and Korean rom after, E988HK baseband, changing every setting in the service menu)
Which baseband do you use?
I can't use my new phone and I'm so desperate ;/
Hi, I sell my phone..really have seriously problem with the signal. I remenber that the best option was use the original rom...but anyway the signal was very bad. Sorry man.

You re right. Same problem with e975. I was firced to change the provider to fix it

Did you try flashing different basebands?

Hi everyone, I just bought a LG Optimus G Pro E988 in asia, and now i am living in a country of central america that dosent support 3G 900/2100.
In this country only supports 3G WCDMA 850, and this have to thank to this great website to made me bought this version gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_g_pro_e985-5254.php the specs of this site is wrong !!!
So, i wanna ask you guys kindly, if I can do anything to change my 3G 900/2100 frequency to 850mhz ?
Thank you very much !

Unfortunately not, you can try rooting and flashing a modem/baseband but i doubt it will change anything.
My source: i had an E988 and tried all the same stuff
Sorry mate, try to get the E980 model...its better
