I bought an Korean LG Optimus G pro from ebay few days ago and updated it to kikat.
When i connect to internet with my sim it shows as 2G on top and never goes to 3G. The 2G speeds are too slow i cant load any website with it.
I tried two sims from two network providers and the result is the same. The band frequencies of this phone is exactly same as my old phone and matches the network providers band widths. Also my old phone had no problems with 3G.
I didn't start using my sim since kitkat update so i have no idea if i it worked when it was on jelly bean.
Sorry if my english was bad
Thanks in advance, Any help or suggestion is greatly aprrecieated

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,

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.
I have an LG Optimus G Pro F240 for 6 months and it has bern great. I live in Ireland. I can use vodafone and O2 sim cards no problem. I recently gave it to my brother who has a tesco sim and for whatever reason the phone thinks its roaming. For me that wouldnt be a problem but my brotherlikes turning off data connection to save battery and when it thinks you are roaming you cant turn off data network.
Can anyone please help me with this issue
Hi, I've been trying to figure out how to do is, but I have hit a few road blocks. Hoping someone can give some insight on my problem.
I recently got a Optimus G E975 from my friend after I dunked my BB in water... She got the phone in Hong Kong and is unlocked. I have a LTE SIM card in the phone, however it is only fully functional under EDGE.
What I had done so far - minimal results:
Rooted the phone - successful
It stays on the edge network even when there is a faster connection available in the area.
Changed the APN to ltemobile.apn instead of the rogers-core
I went into the secret menu (*#*#4696#*#*) and forced it to only connect to LTE/WCDMA. When I do this, it connects to 4G but with low signal. Everything works except calling. I can text, surf and download, but I cannot receive or call unless I bring it back to EDGE.
If I am not mistake, it has something to do with how Rogers uses 700/2600 (band from E971) for LTE but the E975 does not support 700 only 2600.
My question is: Is it possible to flash the modem of the E975 so that it can use LTE properly? Even 3G (HSPA) will suffice.
Thanks in advance.

Hey there,
I'm having exactly the same problem. I bought my e975 Optimus G in Germany and there
didn't occur any problems. LTE and 3g worked just fine. At the moment i'm living in Chile.
As soon as I was here, I bought a SIM card but I wasn't able to get 3g or LTE. Only 2g
worked.
I have the latest CM11 Snapshot M12 (4.4.4) installed on my phone.
Does anybody know what to do here? Do you think the problem is caused by a not supporter frequency band? I tried out the SIM card on another device
(Samsung Galaxy S4 mini), 3g worked there without any problems.
Maybe you can help me
Best wishes,

Hi there,
My country cell provider, recently upgraded their connection to LTE. Their LTE frequency are said to be running on 900 Mhz Frequency
I bought my LG G3 in korea, so obviously my LG G3 is a korean version. LG G3 Cat.6 or the model is F460
I've changed my sim card to LTE sim, and my mobile connection are set to LTE preferred. However till these days still I haven't seen any 4G or LTE sign on my connection. I know not all the areas are covered, however even though I'm in the area where it's already LTE, I don't seems to getting the signal. I don't know is it because my mobile doesn't support the frequency here or other reasons maybe to explain it?
I'm having a hard time looking at the information if LG G3 F460 actually support LTE at 900mhz frequency?
It's running smoothly on a 3G currently.
FYI : It always shows 3G even though its actually running on 3.5G. However my friend said its just the display, while actually its already running the 3.5G Connection. I don't know if its the case with the 4G as well
I can't post the link to the specs here., because I still have post under 10. Maybe anyone can help me?
Thanks before
Mostly Network operator tell u if you 4G phone is compatible with their frequency or not thats the authentic way to know.
