Hi guys just bought lg optimus g. I am a hardcore mobile phone fan and really wanted to use this set as it has 4.7 inch display which is suitable for my hand. I live in Bangladesh where all the carrier are 2g except teletalk recently introduced us 3g. But whenever I put that sim on og it is showing 4g. I even selected wcdma from settings. Then I put this sim on my Xperia z and note 2. It is showing h that means hsdpa and 3g. My question is why only og showing 4g? I know its cool to show off to my friends but still I wanna know. Thanks.

E980 from eBay; unlocked with number code (no data service on T-Mobile at this point-only phone); rooted with XDA instructions-verified with Joey Krim’s Root Checker basic; installed SuperSU; installed ASTRO file manager pro (had it from prior phone) - could not access Build Prop file so installed Joey Krim’s Build Prop Editor; as per XDA instructions changed ro.radio.networkmode=disable to ro.radio.networkmode=enable (and SAVED!!!). Opened “Settings”; “Networks”; “Tethering and Networks”; “Mobile Networks” (which now shows “Network Mode” which I entered and selected “GSM/WCMDMA/LTE auto”; then went down to “Network Operators” and opened and checked “automatic”. After booting there was no change in data access and I figured out problem was with APN (“Access Point Names”) settings - went to uTube for "MMS/APN settings for HTC Inspire T-MOBILE " and using pause button got the APN data needed. Went back to “Mobile Networks” page and clicked on “Access Point Names” which opens a blank page. Clicked on the lower right “Menu” button which opens small window at bottom with two options-pick the “New APN” which opens the full page for entry of the uTube data (I did not find on this E980 a place to enter “MMS Protocol:WAP 2.0"). Rebooted and data service appeared. The data service was “E” (Edge apparently) but I live on Mexican border and no LTE yet nor has T-Mobile apparently switched their “4G” to 1900 band. I will investigate with T-Mobile support how, if possible in this market, to move up the data food chain. My prior phones were Palm Treos then HTC G2 and RAZORs for landline replacement with PhoneLynx devices.
LG says without hardware flash no possibility (if at all) of 4g operation and not sure will work now with LTE from T-Mobile (not in my area yet). T-Mobile support says G Pro is not in their system yet. Amazing to me that all phone manufacturers do not have frequency agile products - my 12 year old RTI TV remote handles multiple frequencies and IR. LG support would not comment on Key Lime Pie . . .
I feel bad for users of other carriers who can't get the G Pro. Its stupid how LG makes it exclusive on AT&T than does little to nothing to market it. LG is just hurting the sales potential of the device by not making it more available in the US market.
I agree. Although it has been confirmed that this device will work and get T-Mobile 4G and LTE. I dont understand why T-Mobile won't market this phone. Its clearly a Note 2 beater in every aspect.

I think AT&T has put a stranglehold on LG just like VZW does with some of their partner manufactures. You can bet there were some back room deals going on prior to release.

Maybe, but LG has many phones for T-Mobile as well, i think more even. But the exclusives have been AT&T only, like the 3D LG Thrill, the "first" HD screen and LTE Nitro HD...............yeah you might be right.....
where did you buy your unlock code? which selleR?

LG reminds me of Commodore back in the 1980s: GREAT products, but not a clue how to market them. The OG Pro has a big H/W advantage over the Galaxy Note II and a larger screen (with less bloatware) than either the HTC One or S4; LG should be running comparison ads non-stop. What do we get instead? Almost nothing.

Bought on Ebay from salvatoregm - UNLOCKED. Unlocked many phones in past with various unlocker sites without problems.

Okay I understand that the bootloader is currently locke but assuming it gets unlocked would it be possible to flash a custom modem to create support for tmobile 4g in un-refarmed areas? something like they did for the note one?
How does The LG Pro G work on T-Mobile? I live in a re-farmed area and am thinking of switching to the T-Mobile $30 prepaid plan.I have the chance to get a Pro G for $49,my plan was to get it,unlock it and use it on T-Mobile.

Probably not. What helped the Note in this regard was it's similarity to the Galaxy S2 hardware, and then T-Mobile release the Note on their network. T-Mobile doesn't carry any LG devices with even remotely similar hardware.
Have people been able to unlock phones that were previously locked? I'm assuming so, since I have seen unlocked ATT Phones. I want to buy one on eBay and then get an unlock code, but wanted to make sure it was possible first. I'm switching from the Note II. I love Samsung, but hate the Camera...
4G and LTE Works on T-Mobile
I was digging around in the not so secret.....secret menu and experimenting with options and found that you can simply activate the 4G and LTE on the Optimus G Pro. I will post a few screenshots of the home screen and of some speed tests for your amazement.......
You can access the LG menu by entering 3845#*980#
I'm not responsible if you blow your phone up....please be careful.
I'm using the ATT Lg Optimus G Pro here in Canada with my Rogers carrier and get full LTE speeds just by adding Rogers LTE APN settings. this would be the same for Bell or Telus. I have to say trading my s4 for this device was a smart move! Ya sure no dev support because of locked bootloader, I'm sure eventually that will change

No need to activate LTE,should work out of the box as long as the APN settings are correct.

Has anyone confirmed that Lte is working on this device. I know it has Lte bands and some of the custom roms have settings for this . I currently have my APN set to lte on beanstalk v2. Im thinking of switching to att since my phone is unlocked . I have heard that i should try flashing a skyrocket rom and radio to get this function working. If anyone can confirm that would be great. I would like to know before i switch. Also has anyone use this device with att ? If so how are youre download speeds with HSPA+? Thanks

I d/l'ed soundofmath's ATT port of Dirty Unicorns. Does not seem to function. My 4G never changes to LTE even know there is a setting that specifically defines either a 4G or LTE icon. I live in Phoenix, where LTE is everywhere. So IDK if I can confirm. D/L speed picked up a little on speedtest.net so maybe it is. I'm using the APN for the LTE network but its spotty on connection. So I just stick with the TMO one til I need the speed.

i put my phone on att and am flashing the skyrocket radio . since skyrocket is lte i am pretty sure i should be able to get it working. most people dont know this phone has lte bands. they were too lazy to remove them. lte should only work when using this phone on att. i will keep u posted.
I'll just add this....if lte were possible on this phone, I think devs would have had it working a long time ago.
But if someone does figure it out.....then kudos.

I'll put good money on the radio supporting the LTE bands - but the device doesn't have connections or antennas for LTE.

Yup. Samsung was lazy and just put the options in for all S2 touchwiz roms, but of course the phones that don't support lte, like the t989 can't use it.
As I said, if lte were possible, smarter people than me would have had it working by now. Lol

Although, I was upgrading the TWRP currently installed on the phone, and Windows 8 installed a driver for "Samsung LTE Android Device". It was running a stock rooted debloated T-mobile rom.
But I still say it doesn't have the antennas.

Hey guys, i wanted to let you know that for 6.0.1 , I no longer have Sprint Spark and its updated the band firmware to accept true LTE again like we use to have if your didnt work, Sprint told me that you should update your Profile and PRL and it should update the bands #GOODBYESPRINTSPARK <3 #HELLOLTEAGAIN

I know for me, in the market I'm in, there's no 'Spark'. I never really got caught up on the spark icon as long as I had the bandwidth I needed, but that's just me.
Sprint Spark is still enabled in my area with MM 6.0.1 (NJ). I don't think the OTA update touches this. I know currently LTE is down in my area and many others so maybe this is part of the issue but I don't know. All I know is Spark was definitely working in my area with the official MM update (until today's outage).

If u have lte in your area u might also have spark but most of all sprint lte towers were switch to spark not all but if u have singnal check app usually band 41 is spark. I know the new lte plus wont work on are note4 now that really sucks but that is in limited markets

Pretty sure you've got "Spark", since that's the name for Sprint's multi band LTE. What you don't have is that tacky little spinner next to the signal strength meter.

Read this thread and then did a ##data# soon as updated... Under LTE > band priority, band 41 still listed so yes spark still there...

Nope not my results at all, I am in Newark NJ where Sprint spark is prevalent with no issues. I tried official MM and had blazing fast speeds. I'm back on AOSP now but still no issues. Sprint was having issues with LTE the past few days in my area so maybe that's related, I don't know.

This. Spark is just Sprint's multi band LTE.. The little spinning icon was removed on all devices because everyone hated it. Still a spark device and band 41 was not Spark, it was just the band with the better speeds.. What Note 4 does not have is Carrier Aggregation aka LTE Plus.

Check More networks>Mobile networks>Network mode. Make sure it is on either LTE/CDMA or Automatic. It may have come up on CDMA from the flash.
I liked the spinning icon ?
Spark (band 41) was actually causing me LTE issues. What would happen is once my phone dropped to 3g it would NOT connect to LTE again unless I rebooted. I went into the ##DATA# menu and disabled band 41 and I've had 0 issues getting LTE again. As for speed? I get 38 down and 12 up so I'm happy. I'm guessing the tower near me is in transition to spark and that band 41 is having issues.
Can someone post a screenshot of what the new icon looks like?

The Note 4 does have Carrier Aggregation, its just not enabled. Check, ##DATA#, view or edit if you have your MSL number. LTE, CA Enabled. There you will see that it is disabled. I just enabled mine. I am going to test it out.

I know. I wanted to see what the status bar looked like after the MM update. When my wife's M8 got the MM update it changed the icons (signal, WiFi, LTE, roaming, etc) to match stock Android (which I like).
I was wondering if it was the same on the Note 4.
Sprint spark was nice but I have been having terrible connection issues in Vegas. When talking to one of the techs at sprint he was telling me that they now have LTE Plus which is better and faster than Sprint spark but it was not available on the note 4 due to its triband connection. If this update allows it to use the LTE Plus that would be fantastic. Anyone know the answer to that?

Hi
i have a couple of questions here , how can i access USB settings on n910p
cyanogenmod rom 5.1.1
becuse i want to try this on it .
and i want to know is the phone hardware locked when it comes to the frequency it supports ?
becuse we have LTE B3 (1800) in my Country , and the phone supporte LTE band 2(1900), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 12(700), 17(700)
so i want to try and unlock the 4g service if it's possible.
Let me give you an insight about your query...
1. I'm too using an unlocked N910P with a GSM SIM like you where the 4G bands present in my country are not supported by this phone's hardware.
2. I've tried the post that you are referring to in the past but wasn't able to do anything because the software QSPT couldn't find my phone. Tried several times but with no success.
3. You can access USB Settings using Iodene Tools or Galaxy Tools. It has now become a paid software so the developer has removed it from XDA. (Search on XDA to find some threads related to it. You might get help from someone).
In short, it's almost next to impossible to unlock the bands as there's a high possibility that some tempering must have been done with the motherboard to unlock it, especially if the phone you got came with some Chinese firmware on it.
You can always try to check if it works for you or not.

Thank you for your explanations. I have something to ask.
I bought N910P. It was on Lollipop and 4G/LTE network was fine. But then I upgraded to Marshmallow via Odin. And now, there's only 3G with setting already to 4G/LTE. What is this problem related to?
Thanks.

See, the 4G icon that you witnessed after purchasing N910P was just a false indication. In reality, the network was 3G. Even when I got this phone, it was on Lollipop and it used to show 4G and the funny part was that I wasn't even using 4G then.
I've seen many users getting confused regarding this matter.
The only option available is that the network providers of your country start 4G services in the band that is supported in US (which again is highly u).

That 4G icon you were seeing was just HSPA+ but not actually 4G. If you see LTE then you can assume that you are on actual 4G.
