Can anyone confirm if roger's Lg optimus G E971 will work on At&t's gsm network? 4g lte specifically.
Thanks
anyone? it says 700 mhz in lte band in the specs, so it should work, right?
Yup it should work.

Thought the Rogers version was 2600 MHz LTE only, which is why it won't work with Bell or Telus (as they use 700 MHz LTE). Thus, it wouldn't work with AT&T LTE.

I've done some research, but would be AT&T OG work with Bell LTE? I'm only getting 4G so far, but I'm not sure if I need to flash a Bell modem or what.
Edit: Replaced SIM card and LTE works.

I assume the quad core gs3 is GSM? Will it work with T-Mobile 4G HSPA+? My friend is on T-Mobile and is planning to get the gs3 off contact. He wanted me to find out if T-Mobile 4G will work with the quad core version or should he just buy the T-Mobile version instead.

It will work but you will be stuck on Edge.
I'd check what frequencies it has. I'm using a T-Mobile version on at&t and get 4g data. If the international version has T-Mobile's frequencies then it should work.

Are you getting 4g lte or hspa? I don't think t-mobile s3 can do lte

Would this work?
Tmobile uses Band (frequency): 850 MHz;900 MHz;1800 MHz;1900 MHz;UMTS: Band I (2100);UMTS: Band IV (AWS);UMTS: Band V (850)
Device Additional Information tab on that site says "Service 900, 1800, 1900, 850, 3g 2100"
But at the top of the page it says "Band:GSM 850/900/1800/1900"
T-Mobile UMTS/HSPA+ (3G/4G) mostly runs off 1700/2100 and the international model i9300 does not support the frequency we use. The quad band GSM/EDGE will work (and therefore voice/text and slow internets).
AT&T uses a more normal 850/1900 for everything but LTE, making them more "Normal" along with our Canadian neighbors.
T-Mobile is weird :-o.
If you've got access to any make of GSM based + unlocked iPhone, stick your T-Mobile SIM in it and see what speed you can get. An unlocked AT&T phone may work for testing also. We're supposed to be getting better coverage in this kinda frequency range for that but it will likely be a long time before we get sufficient coverage to enjoy a i9300.
Well put. It will be a long time before we see decent coverage for AT&T/UK phones.

Ive been looking into this but it would be good if someone can clearify this. Does the internation version N7105 note lte work in canada? Like with rogers and bell lte?

You will get HSDPA but no LTE.
Rogers and Bell LTE operates on 1700/2100 MHz AWS and N7105 has 700/2100 MHz radio.

Thats where its confusing...online on rogers site they say lte is running 2100 and 2600 and since the n7105 runs 700 and 2100 then I can get lte right? Are you sure that rogers and bell are running lte at 1700 2100? And also if n7105 has 2100 then it should be able to run lte.

It will work but not well in areas of low coverage or inside buildings. Normally the phone will switch bands depending on the situation to get the best signal. But if your phone has only 1 of the 2 bands available, it will not be able to choose optimally the best band so performance will suffer unless you are right under the cell tower.

Hi All,
I am using a N7105 on Bell Canada network. Seem my phone only max. on HSPA+ not LTE. Base on I am reading some information from internet. Bell is using 1700/2100/2600 Mhz for LTE. My phone only able pick up LTE 800/1800/2600 Mhz. My question is shouldn't my phone work on Bell LTE network on 2600 Mhz?? Also does anyone out there use N7105 and able to use LTE on Rogers/Bell/Telus???
Thanks
PC
wow really no one use N7105 in Canada???
It will work but generally performance would be poor inside buildings or in areas of interference, due to having only one compatible band instead of two.

I have tried even outside on the street still not getting LTE:crying:
7105 is international, international usually mean European, Australia etc, ie NOT north American region. They will have carrier specific versions for bell, telus, robbers, wind etc

This is stupid they don't follow the other country
So which model name/number is the Canadian Bell one? I'm thinking of buying one in Calgary, but I wanted to monitor ROM development before I got one, so which forum should I follow for the Canadian one? I just guessed it was an N7105, but apparently it's not!
Edit: Nevermind, found it on Wikipedia. It's SGH-i317M and seems roughly same as AT&T, I guess I'll go to that forum!
Although I don't know anyone that has a N7105 on LTE in Canada, I've seen people use LTE with a I9305 (with the same LTE bands as the N7105) in Vancouver at least, so technically your phone should work. It may be that your area doesn't have the 2600Mhz spectrum.

Ah so i called Bell they told me they have 2600 Mhz but you never know. Cause Bell tech. support sucks
N7105 supports 2600 mhz radio frequency, but a respective modem file need to be flashed for it to work on LTE network.
I had Note LTE i717 which supported 1700mhz lte of Rogers, and yes it worked with wind and T-mobile network using 1700 mhz frequency only after flashing tmobile modem.

Hi quick question on this one. My phone is international version and it is unlocked. And i have contact Samsung and they said i don't need anything as long as the SP giving out 2600Mhz. The phone will auto use 2600Mhz
Hey OP are you using an LTE compatible sim card?

Lte will not work out of box, unless some developer gets you modem file which can make your N7105 to recognize 2600mhz as Bell LTE.

Yeah me too hate .....I was in long dilemma to buy N7105 , but when I found this then i just bought it outright from Rogers.
Also to let you know that even after flashing 2600mhz to work as lte radio, you will only get lte in 2600mhz lte available areas only, bcoz lte in NA fluctuates many frequencies from 700/1700/1900/2100/2600.
Good luck and enjoy your Note2.

I just bought a N7105 international version from Hong Kong and yes it work on Rogers here in Vancouver. Make sure you get a LTE compatible SIM card. My old SIM card did not compatible with LTE so I only got H+ or 3G. Now I changed and I am on 4G.
The reception is only 2 bars most of the time though. Sometime I got 4 bars. I tried data speed using Speedtest.net and still got at max 52Mbps DOWN and 34Mbps UP even I am at 2 bars so I guess it isn't too bad.

Hey rcyh same here i got my phone in HK..... I heard a lot people able to use 2600 Mhz on Rogers only ... Do you have any friend is using Bell and you can give it a try and see u are getting LTE there?
Woooooo comfirmed N7105 does work great with Rogers :fingers-crossed: I am getting 47Mbps down and 10Mbps up with 2 bar signal :angel:...... I think Bell just locked the LTE 2600Mhz band to public

you go the N7105 from where? Wind's SGH-T889V? Did you do anything (unlock/root/flash radio/other) to get LTE on Rogers?
hey guys was wondering if their is a international version of this phone? i know there is a korean version but i heard the korean version doesnt have the radio frequencies to pick h+ or 3g here in USA att or tmo.. i think i read it on engadget
The E973 is pentaband and will pickup almost all 3G frequencies anywhere, including the USA. The problem is not with 3G, but rather LTE.
Sent from my LG-E973 using xda app-developers app
Ok thanks. I've been wanting to get this phone but wasnt sure and don't want to get the USA version... so u think the best bet for me is that one?
Sent from my MI 2 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah you should be fine for 3G pretty much everywhere, the E973 supports these frequencies:
3G Network UMTS/HSPA 850 / 900 / 1800/ 1900/ 2100
4G Network AWS 700 / 1700
For a full list of frequencies world wide with all the carriers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_country_code
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!
