I will be making a trip to India for business this summer and be going to New Delhi, Mumbai and maybe Pune? Of course I'll be taking my preventive shots but my main question is how wide is 4G available in India? I heard the 4G covergae is pretty spotty?

In India 4G is available in very select cities, last heard - Kolkata, Pune, Mohali and Bangaluru. Also, your phone would not be of much help here because till date it is without voice i.e. only data - at least we can only get a data pack with a 4G connection without any voice capabilities....
Pretty weird, but that's the way it is....
Also, only Bharti Airtel has this service at the moment.

And i think LG OG pro Doesn't support the frequency on which 4g is working in india ... Pl check that Also...

Presently only Bharti Airtel provides 4G in India and that too in following cities - Kolkata, Bengaluru, Pune, Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula & Ludhiana . Only 4G data is provided using Dongles.
For SmartPhones only IPhone 5s/5c are Supported by Bharti airtel that too only in Bangalore/Bengaluru.
Most of the 4G spectrum allocated last year or before that was Won by Reliance industries's RELIENCE JIO ,they have been conducting extensive Tests since last year throughout the country with 4G phones from Huawei and local india Handset manufacturers ,Considering the Huge Size and diversity of the country and the number of people They are slated to launch Nationwide 4G before this year End which has the potential to shake the whole Indian telecom industry as Relience has the money to provide 4g at reasonable price and challenge Airtel/Vodafone/Idea.
And about Gpro , Even if 4g was already there in India for Smrtphones I doubt it will work with our Gpro as INDIA/CHINA are following Different 4G Technology than the rest of the world, Soon You will find different variants of LTE phones launched for India/china region as the number that these two countries combined offer is just too huge to ignore , citing this LG have launched a 4G enabled version of their G2 for India just a month and half back Although it all depends on what bandwith Reliance Jio offers 4G in.

Hi, I bought 2 phones in HK, one Chinese for my girfriend and one in English for me.
I want to do video calling with her but I can't figure out how to do it, it says 3G network not available.
I have a 2 Gig package with China Mobile ShenZhouXing for 100 RMB a month...
They said the settings for 3G are the same as GPRS Edge:
Access Point CMNET
IP: 10.0.0.172
I can get on GPRS Edge but its not 3G, I can tell by the speed and the 3G icon isnt at the top of the HTC Touch Pro 2....
Can someone please help me figure this out please!!
Thanks!
Robert
If I am not wrong, China does not have 3G network yet. They are on GPRS.
3G is available in China, but I don't think China Mobile's Easyown (ShenZhouXing) has 3G access. What you need is their new G3 service.
http://www.chinamobile.com/brand/G3/ (page in Chinese, not available in English)
China Mobile has 3G but cant use WCMDA
Need to use China Unicom, problem solved
Nicely caught. China Mobile only supports TD-SCDMA (Time Division - Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access) at the moment.

I could google, but, whats WCDMA then?
Its super nice to have 3G in china on my HTC Touch Pro 2! I am loving it!!
made two very big mistakes on the way
1: Bought CHT TP2 thinking we'd have the HSPL quick
2: Bought China Mobile 3G (2Gig/Mo.) Plan and Phone number
And check this out, when I went to China Unicom the first service rep to deal with me was wearing a Communist Pin, the little red ones with the golden gear..... I told him I wanted the 100 CNY Data plan and he said there isn't one, only 10, 20 and 50. I say yes there is and he said I am wrong and they don't offer it. I had to insist on talking to his supervisors' supervisor to tell them I had been on their website just today talking with a sales rep and they assured me not only was that possible but there was a 50% dicount on the number (phone number purchase needed to buy the data plan of course).... I had to tell him to scold the rep because to turn a customer away without checking deeper is bad business! take of his communist pin and send him back to capitalist training haha... oh well.. I got 3G and I'm a happy camper, (and my girlfriend got the CHT version of TP2)
It is possible that this cell can implement this technology?
thank you very much for responding!
HI !!!
Hi Jlaeo
same here...
Im a new member as you
The 4G technology is implemented in a labeled smartphone that includes the feature...
For example:
Moto Photon 4G
Sam Epic 4G; and
HTC Thunderbolt 4G
The new thing allows to download in a very high speed
that's the special thing of 4G
and it's signal just available in some areas that provides the service
so if YOUR area has no net. providers that provide the service, better not buy the 4G...
It's the newest technology and this cell is unable to implement the tech since it's not included in the brand new package offered by the manufacturer
even some new high-end devices don't include the thing...
i think those things above are enough to be considered a crystal clear explanation...

4G is in america only, if im not wrong. it is faster then normal 3G, and is a network based on LTE. search google for it if you need more info, but you need special made phones for it, special brands. HTC's are called 'provider' 'device name' '4G' etc..

unfortunately, you are wrong. They're testing it even here, in Latvia. Why is it amazing you say? We have unstable financial situation here for the last couple of years, oh and not to mention that country as it is now exists for about 20 years. Not sure if that's a cheerful or a sad fact though. :/
as far as the topic goes: unless you manage to solder a 4g reciever onto your phone it's not possible.
There's 4G and 4G...
Some marketing idiots stateside decided that it was a smart idea to rebrand HSPA from 3G to 4G.
Engadget's pun for this is faux-G.
Then you've got WiMax and LTE, which are considered pre-4G technologies.
LTE-Advanced, not deployed anywhere yet, is considered 4G.
The Gio is 3G HSPA, 7 Mbps. Depending on the network HSPA can go up to 21, and dual channel HSPA 42 Mbps.
I have a d855 model and I read it can't use LTE. Mine displays H instead of LTE but streams hd video as fast as my LTE phone or at least I notice no difference. When I did speed test when tether to laptop I got 4mbps which is still high speed but I think LTE is way faster.
My question is if no 4g/LTE which is limited at 2.5gb per month then am I unlimited high speed ? Just slower high speed.
Nope, 2.5gb with LTE, HSDPA, 3G, EDGE or GPRS and after that your speed will be limited to 64kbit/s (or slower) till end of month.
The phone does in fact have LTE. And whatever stipulations are concerning your data plan are specific to the plan you have on your wireless carrier.

I'm not so much concerned with LTE being available in other parts of the world based on the frequencies of the d855. I need LTE here in the USA and so far I've found the question asked a ton of times and all of the answers are that it does not have LTE. It does not have 1700 or 1900 capabilities which is what T-mobile needs. I even read posts where ATT people can't seem to get it to work with their LTE. I tested it last night and got 3g speeds for tethering 4.19mbps, then put sim in my chinese Huawei and got 28.35mbps so for sure it's on 3g and not LTE. It works great on 3g and is fairly fast but the fact that a USA seller who is selling in the USA would specifically state 4g LTE phone and not mention anywhere in the ebay ad that LTE won't work in the country he is trying to sell it is irritating. If he was a seller in another country then it would be another story. Even his rating was great and no complaints about the d855 but most people might not care that they aren't getting LTE.

sorry, I noticed your info said London so figured you might not have. They said they'll refund so should be fine. I just want to make sure they don't hit me with a restockng fee. I currently use the Huawei Ascend Mate 2. 6.1" screen and 4000mah battery is hard to walk away from. It's the camera on it that isn't so awesome.
Well, since the Force is out and the DT2 seems to completely lack dev support and rooting method, I am very seriously considering dumping VZW for TMo. Picked up a prepaid sim from 7-11 to test out tonight.
I live just over the river from NYC in NJ and commute to Bryant Park area daily for work. Will be periodically posting my impressions here. Plan on swapping SIMs for a few day to put TMo thru the ringer before pulling the trigger on an X-Force
So far working completely, both Voice & LTE. Not sure if I am getting VoLTE or true GSM Voice service, as I do not know of a way to test. I have been sitting comfortably on Band 4 for LTE when outside with 4 full bars of service. Inside my apartment, 4g is spotty with TMo (I live in a garden level place, half underground half above in a brownstone), however without band 12 present in the phone, I dont expect blazing or strong 4g signal indoors.
I do however get strong HSPA+ inside which has been pretty fast through basic web browsing and small app downloads.
What has blown me away is the speed of the TMo network, both HSPA and LTE. I took the following speedtests (same spot, swapping sims & letting connection settle). While it is harder to get 4G LTE inside with TMo and no band 12, when I do get it, the speed still BLOWS away VZW
Pic 1 - Verizon Indoor (foyer) - 4G LTE
Pic 2 - T-Mo Indoor (foyer) - HSPA +
Pic 3 - Verizon Outside - 4G LTE
Pic 4 - T-Mo Outside - 4G LTE
Pic 5 - T-Mo Inside front foyer - 4G LTE (verizon speed was same as previous outside pic)
Pic 6 - Verizon Inside on Couch (middle of apt) - 4G LTE
Pic 7 - TMo Inside on Couch (middle of apt) - 4G LTE

Have been seeing similar results today while at work in nyc. My desk gets full 4-5 bars of 4g service with TMo. I am on the 8th floor of a brick building. Def thought reception would suck at my desk.
Ive had the same results today at my desk regarding speed tests.
So you had to do no unlocking,it worked out of the box?

It'll work on GSM carriers (T-Mobile, AT&T, US Cellular, etc.) but not Sprint since it's a CDMA network. Phones with CDMA radios are allowed onto a CDMA network via a code, and Sprint blocks codes from Verizon phones, and vice versa.

That's because iPhones and Nexuses are unlocked phones by default. The Turbo 2 is a Verizon exclusive that happens to be SIM unlocked, so Sprint isn't going to accept it.

It should work on the T-mo portion of Fi, with no switching to Sprint, obviously. Also no wi-fi calling afaik.
Where do you live? I have yet to see less then 60Mbs on Verizon. Hell I hit over 100 pretty often and stay around 75-80 for the most part.

That is some great speed!!! No I was talking about my data cap of 18gb. I was thinking of getting a side prepaid sim for the extra data.
Please tell me how you did it
how did you get the turbo 2 to work on tmobile?
im in nyc and have turbo 2 on vzw and had an extra one as backup. a buddy in tampa florida using a galaxy s6 regular on tmo kept having issues with his fone. i sent him my backup which is exactly the same im using. he put his sim into the turbo without any problems and works fine. he gets no dropped calls for whatever reason. he thought he would miss his wifi calling but since the fone is better at reception all around he doesnt need the wifi calling and of course he has unlimited data using his Tmo sim and its on LTE . only thing he said he has missed is the turbo 2 doesnt have infrared for his samsuck tv and other controls he could have used via his galaxys infrared. hope this helps.

All Verizon LTE phones are network unlocked by order of the FCC ever since 2011, 2012. It was an "agreement" Verizon was forced to sign to get more LTE spectrum.

It's old news. As long as a Verizon phone has the necessary LTE bands, it will work on any other LTE carrier.
Droid Turbo 2 has LTE bands 2,3,4,7,13. T-Mobile uses LTE bands 2,4,12. So, he's getting LTE bands 2,4.

I'm assuming this means I could use my droid turbo 2 outside of the US and just swap in a local sim (and use LTE if those countries use 2,3,7 or 13)?

Yes. For countries without those bands you would rely upon HSPA or even GSM.

What LTE bands does your carrier use? Info i found says 1, 3, 7, 8, 28. Droid Turbo 2 had two of those (3, 7), plus HSPA of course.
I'll be in the US in the summer, as a work and travel student. I'd like to know if it's possible to use this phone with 4g in US. Any US residents here that use Mi A2 Lite as their daily driver? Can you please elaborate if the mobile connection is good? Other than J1 SIMs what other provider do you suggest me to use? This will be my first time to US and I don't want to stay without connection to my loved ones. Thanks in advance!
I'm from Singapore and brought my Mi A2 Lite to SFO, LAX, NY, no issues with international roaming on this phone.
Yes. T-Mobile is excellent for 4G data in a city and along major highways. I am in Seattle and experience little to no issues. Calling is spotty because it won't use VoLTE and has a hard time establishing 2g/3g connection. ATT may be better depending on where you're going.
Works good on T-Mobile for me, sometimes spotty outside of big city though
yes, on cricket in nyc, have to say I have had a lot more drop calls than on my last samsung cell.
Still love the Mi A2 Lite, a whole lot of bang for the buck!

NYC based here but we travel a lot, domestic & abroad - no issues with T-Mobile 4G LTE with stock 9.0 Pie rom on A2 Lite. Major reason to go dual-sim is the extra option, 2nd. "local/home area" sim is on AT&T's 4G LTE/H+ network along the Northeast and when in Canada, Mexico, Caribbean & Bahamas or Bermuda - this works great with Google Fi (MNVO) too - except when the Fi network doesn't find a T-Mo or AT&T signal (Sprint's WCDMA is horrible, stay away) when in small towns & cities like up in remote areas of Maine & St. John, NB (Canada) as we just came back from a week-long cruise).
BTW, we also couldn't get Google Fi data (4G/HSPA+/3G) coverage in the same area above with my regular/primary Motorola Moto X4 on "Fi" channel ... spouse has no problems with her Moto G6.
Depending on your length of stay in the USA, T-Mobile prepaid has good options, also look at Straight Talk & Simple Mobile (also prepaid) as they use T-Mobile ... if you rather use AT&T prepaid, their prices aren't going to cost much more, maybe $5 USD extra per 30 days. Big cities, places like New York, Chicago or Los Angeles or San Francisco, coverage & difference are really not there at all.
Waiting for the AliExpress pre-sale shipment/delivery of a new Umidigi A5 Pro global dual-sim with more 4G/LTE bands, hopefully later this month, to see how it compare - specs are good ... delayed from 6/15 toward 6/25 but probably not till 7/1 or later.
