Neither phone has the radios to get 3G/LTE on AT&T

I have a similar problem.. I'm on fido in Canada and I cant get 3g or 4g connection. Should I give up, or is there something I can do? I also tried changing the build.prop line to US and Canada, still no luck.

Does anybody is this phone works with Verizon???

You can't. You must have the physical modem capable of AWS1700, and there is no variant of the DHD capable of this. The closest thing you can get is the HD2 then install Android.
What about AT&T?

LG G2X unlocked but no 3G on GSM

Canadian here,
I picked up an LG P999DW Optimus G2X (Optimus 2x) Link and I unlocked it with the Octopus. I have put in a Rogers(GSM) Sim and I cannot get it to work with 3G even after I put in the correct APN settings. Can anyone help me get 3G working please?
Thanks,
Freerider_4life
Bump, can someone please give me a hand with this? 2g is terribly slow
Make sure the phone and sim are cooperating
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with getting the right network, but you might wanna check with the phone's hardware, and ask the people who you bought it from. I remember my brother got an iPhone 4S unlocked straight from Apple store, and even though the iPhone 4S supports at least 3G speed, my brother is not getting the 3G speed because he is using a T-Mobile powered SIM, not exactly T-Mobile. At the same time, I use that exact same SIM on my HTC G2 and I get 4G/HSPA+ speed, so it clearly depends on the phone.
The phone itself and the SIM has to cooperate in order for you to get the speed you deserve for that phone.
Hope that helps, I don't know much but I've noticed it a lot.
it all depends on bands, most unlocked devices only get EDGE(or 2g) on other networks it will only get 4g or 3g on the device the carrier it was made for unless the phone was made otherwise

I have the same problem. Unlocked P999 from Wind and I'm using it for Fido (Rogers network) but I can only get 2g.

HEADS UP: Rogers Optimus G (LG-E971) not compatible with Bell LTE

In Canada, I am unable to get my Rogers LG-E971 to connect to Bell's LTE network. Talked with Bell technical support and they said that the phone is not reporting LTE capability. I even messed around in the service menu (use 971 instead of 973 or 970 in the code) and enabled the bands that bell uses, still no go. I can't even return the phone now, because I had to unlock it to try it on Bell.
Bell sells the LG-E973. I bought the Rogers because Bell will not sell new phones without selling/renewing a plan along with the phone.
So, to sum up, don't go buying a Rogers Optimus G hoping to get LTE to work on Bell (or Telus, I assume) after unlocking. You'll be out your $700 because shops won't accept the return if the phone has been unlocked.
Edit: Forgot to say, I get 4G HSPA speeds (pulling 15Mbps down on speedtest compared to 30Mbps down on a friend's iPhone 5 LTE connection) on Bell.
Confused
i got the g for rogers aswell.. are you saying that rogers doesnt provided lte?
my signal says 4g... thought that meant LTE??
and your right.. i get 14mb down.. is supposed to be 30???

from speedtest videos, it's supposed to have an lte icon when it's on lte. you can check which network it's on by checking settings->about phone->status (or something along those lines, i don't have the phone in front of me at the moment).
You should be able to get LTE on rogers, if you're not you need to check your coverage at http://www.rogers.com/web/content/w...nsumer_Wireless_Eng-_-Network_0909-_-coverage
My personal issue is just that it's not compatible with Bell LTE (as far as I can tell).
4G is HSPA+ not LTE. If you're on Rogers and not getting LTE with the Rogers phone make sure you live in an area with LTE coverage and that you have not accidentally disabled it in the mobile network settings.
As for the Rogers version not working with Bell LTE, maybe once the bootloader is unlocked it will be possible to flash the Bell radio and have it work?
I think this is because the rogers optimus g's LTE runs on the 2600mhz band only, as far as i know, so far, it is the ONLY phone in the country that runs on the 2600 band currently. The upside is that you practically get your own private "highway" and you should see significant speed advantages as long as you are connected to roger's network. The downside is that it not very compatible with other networks.

I read this, but most of the articles I'd read said that the 2600MHz band was supposed to be a joint rollout between Rogers and Bell. Sigh.
The possibility of flashing the radio is still pretty far off unfortunately. This phone's going on craigslist; I'll just have to wait till people actually have the Bell one in stock to get my new Optimus.
just called rogers
i had the sim from my iphone4 installed.. thats why it was saying 4g
went to put the lte one in that they sent me and its too big!! they sent me the full size one ...grrrrr!!
In korean version of the G, HSPA+ shows as 3G and LTE as 4G.
I believe ive never seen the LTE icon on the G.

I'm in toronto and mine has an LTE icon.

Here the korean screen.
But it obviously depends on the provider/phone version.
The LTE icon probably shown only for providers which dont support the full version of LTE, just the internet/data.
Btw HSPA+ arent related to the 4G, so basically its a cheating and should be sued

Hi all-
I have my E970 working on Rogers, and yes - that's one of the reason I've stuck to the AT&T phone. I suspected Rogers would f*** the consumer somehow as usual. Then again, I still have no Wifi hotspot capability until a ROM update removes AT&T's block.. :silly:
How exactly does one access the service menu to enable or disable various frequencies? I had asked about changing the baseband radio support because the AT&T 700mhz support is useless here in Canada, as the spectrum auction hasn't even run yet. It'll be 18 months or more before a provider has any support for it. But I could use 2600mhz support, or 1800 or 2100mhz support for roaming on vacations.
The band all GSM North American Optimus G models should have in common is the AWS band - 1700up/2100down. The E970 also has 700mhz, the Rogers E971 2600mhz and Telus/Bell E973s ??? (most websites claim 1800mhz, but this seems odd since neither actually use this frequency for LTE).
On the E970, HSPA+ service shows a 4G icon.
On LTE service it shows 4G LTE, even though the speeds are nothing alike. HSPA+ Here in Alberta is typically 1-4Mbit, the LTE speeds so far are nothing to write home about either, averaging about half the claims I see from Rogers users in Ontario or BC - typically 15-30Mbit downstream and 8-12Mbit upstream in various parts of the city.
Here's my Speedtest.net samples from Rogers LTE over the weekend, check the attached screenshot. The speeds seem all over the map, but are all in the same areas of the city, downtown and northside.

Service menu can be accessed by typing 3845#*970# into the dialer, where you replace 970 with the model number of the phone (Bell is 973, Rogers is 971). From there, ->LTE-Only->Modem Settings->LTE Band Selection. Checking the items seems to apply the settings immediately.
If you're getting 30Mbps then that's pretty good, here in Vancouver Rogers seems to top out around 50Mbps with good weather and everything. If you ever get more than half the claimed speeds you're probably standing in a testing lab.
Haze08, I've seen that the American models are unlocked now, but they still have to do the work on the Canadian ones, then someone would still have to have the inclination to figure out the differences between Bell and Rogers models, then figure out a safe way to flash the baseband, then test if it's safe to modify the baseband of one model to make LTE work on a different network. That assumes that it's possible; it could be a hardware issue that can't be fixed by flashing the radio. I'm not even convinced there'd be a demand for figuring out how to make the Rogers model work on Bell, seeing as how the Bell model is starting to trickle in stock. All these factors add up to me not holding my breath that someday the Rogers model will be able to connect to Bell's LTE network.
I'm just hoping to get the bootloader unlock and stock 4.2 with AWS 2600 LTE support for the Rogers E971. I like this phone and really don't want the hassle of changing it for an N4. This phone phone is simply better in every other way.

How old is your Bell SIM? When I upgraded to an LTE device on Telus I needed the new SIM card. Without it, your device likely will not report LTE capabilities to Bell. If you look at the Galaxy S3, the SGH-i747 is identical for Bell, Telus and Rogers, and all support LTE and there are no issues bringing unlocked phones between the 3 carriers, so it doesn't make sense that the Optimus G itself would behave like this.
The sim card I have is a Bell LTE microsim, and it's getting LTE on my new LG-E973.
To clarify:
Rogers LTE microsim + LG-E971 unlocked = Rogers LTE connection
Bell LTE microsim + LG-E971 unlocked = NO Bell LTE connection
Bell LTE microsim + LG-E973 bought from Bell = Bell LTE connection

hey
do you know if the E973 (bell) would work on rogers LTE?
Unfortunately I would have to pay to get the E973 unlocked and buy another rogers sim (I sold mine already), so I don't have an answer for you. Sorry.

[Q] LG G3 D855 SEA V20c no LTE rogers network

Hello, I have a LG G3 D855 SEA V20c running 5.0. I'm looking for permanent fix for LTE. I'm located in Montreal, Canada running on the Rogers network. I recently rooted the phone . I'm looking for suggestions on how to best achieve this.
I have tried the 3845#*855# method but it has to be redone whenever the phone restarts also you get limited 4G coverage with this phone variant
Thanks,
John

Im just trying to help and apologize if you have already done this but i believe Rogers uses a slightly different apn setting for lte. I havent been with the carrier for over a year now so make sure you got the right settings! If it isnt that then im guessing you are referring to the difference in cellular bands. I do know that USA carriers use a different lte band than us canadians and that for the note 3 devices there was a way to unlock the qualcom chip to enable it but i have not seen such things for the g3 as of yet. Hope i helped:good:

Please check the signals that the 4G band for Rodgers runs on
Sometimes the D855 international variant does not include the signal band that LTE runs on

So do you get lte sometimes? If so it may just be Rogers garbage lte coverage.

My note 2 get's excellent LTE coverage. I think I will flash it with the stock HK rom, I think I will have better LTE control and hopefully better coverage.

I have N900T, bought new one, stock Lollipop 5.0 and 4G doesnt work here in Serbia on this phone. Also I have poor network signal when I enter in some building and if I enter in some club or cafe I lost network. I have 4G card which work on other 4G phones with 4G signal. When I spoke with my network operator the told me that my phone was never registered on 4G network. If u have some suggestion how to fix that I will be more then thankful. Network operator is MTS Serbia.
