I have a Korean e975 that is supposed to be able to operate its LTE at 2600. I am currently with FIDO (Canada) and have the correct LTE APN (and LTE sim) and I know that FIDO operates its LTE service at 2100 and 2600. I can currently only get 3G and H but no 4G speeds. I have asked FIDO to reset my account but it did not solve the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Are you sure it's e975 and not f180(k,l,s)??

That what it says in the settings and given its not jailbroken i think i can trust that. It does have the dmb antenna.

If it has got the extandable antenna on the side (meant to receive tv brodcasts in Korea) it is the Korean version, no matter what is written in the smartphone infos. And since it is a korean version is able to operate only with 850mhz(f180l) , 1800Mhz(f180k) LTE. For the korean version there are no 2600 mhz Lte capabilities,sorry
Only E971, E976 and E977 have 2600mhz.
Ok....thanks for the info....bummer!
Is the extendable antenna useful for anything in canada? Thanks
Where are you going to plug in an extendable antenna?
hi everyone,
i would like to know if the LTE frequency of 1800mhz in LG G PRO E988(Philippines) can be change to LTE 2100mhz? because the ISP(Smart) here in my country only gives the frequency of 2100mhz for their prepaid LTE service... and this phone of mine has WCDMA only for the 2100mhz and only 1800mhz and 2600mhz for its LTE as per its box says...
i have read somewhere that this frequency band is encoded to the hardware(i dont know if its true) but is there a way to change it? like changing to custom rom, kernel, hacking, etc....
i really need to have a frequency of 2100mhz in LTE in this LG G PRO android of mine to support the prepaid LTE from my ISP ...
experts here, please need badly your helps guys...

@ mervin
thanks for the reply.
probably that is not an e988 version.
lg g pro has several variants as we know...
the e988 here has no 2100mhz for the LTE ---> http://m.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_g_pro_e985-5254.php
and also as i mentioned above, no 2100mhz also for LTE in its box, only 1800mhz freq.

I don't know how firstpost reached that conclusion. Not any literature on the net about e988 has ever mentioned LTE being present, hidden or otherwise... For example, this,

Theres NO changing of bands on this phone... Whats on it, is whats on it.
Bro, unfortunately LTE Band is hardware-variant-dependent and cannot be changed through software. The E988 variant only works on Globe LTE which is 1800mhz (B3), unfortunately you have to subscribe to 1 of their expensive postpaid plans to use LTE. I myself have a SMART prepaid LTE sim, and so I bought an AT&T E980 which has a 2100mhz LTE frequency, but what I failed to realize is E980 uses Band 4. SMART LTE only works on 2100mhz Band 1, so I am unable to use Smart LTE on E980 also. The only G Pro variant capable for Smart LTE is the korean F240L.
@ hyel
thanks. that's sad to know...
@ jrtancinco
thank you for the in-dept information bro. yes, i heard i can connect to Smart LTE thru their postpaid plan using my E988. Kinda confusing why there is so called Band 1, thought 2100mhz is enough.. I prefer the Smart due to Globe signal here in my place sucks big time. might as well buy a separate pocket LTE wifi, and keep this fast and amazing LG G PRO
------------------
*** UPDATE - i have tested three units of high end android phones (Samsung S4, LG G PRO, & Samsung Note 3) using postpaid LTE SIM in an unlimited Smart LTE Plan inside one location, versus a dedicated LTE Pocket Wifi; Result is, all the three high-end handsets have far lower speeds of the LTE compared to the LTE Pocket Wifi had delivered. Seems the LTE pocket wifi device has the dedicated hardware for more power and reach compared to a LTE built-in capability of a phone.
I now can conclude that its better to use a 'dedicated' LTE pocket wifi device than the built-in LTE of a smartphone handset if you want better LTE speed throughput.

LTE not WOrking on 1800mhz on My E988 Optimus
Hi there I am using LG Optimus G Pro E988, but I there is no LTE on it where my carrier support E988 on 1800mhz. Can anyone help me on this?
So I just got a new LG F180L and I am curious of the frequency bands as being a Korean model, might not work with my simcard.
I use TM simcard which is from the Philippines.
What is the 2G, 3G, HSDPA and LTE frequencies for the F180L? Does it have 3G/HSDPA?
I really need help as I did some research but most of it wasn't accurate and having mix up with the S and K model of F180.
Thanks and God Bless
is there any modem for LG G PRO F240L which enables 4G LTE for Pakistan?
No you can't
No you can't because F240L only have 850 Mhz LTE frequency and Warid and zong uses 1800 Mhz. Keep using 3G

Hi,
If your set model is Lg optimus g pro E-988 then you need to root your set. Install hidden menu and from there you can select 1800MHz frequency for LTE to work. But only if your model is E-988. Other wise it will not work.

Does your phone support LTE frequencies your provider is using? Do you have an LTE simcard? Are you in LTE covered area?
Also, try disabling then reenabling LTE in network settings, maybe will work. E988 has some weird firmware bug with that.
