My brother in-law just got a M8 Dual Sim (European). but for some reason he is not getting LTE connection.
I tried the same sim on a different phone and got LTE instantly. What is going on?
Should I unlock the bootloader and flash a different radio or try another rom?
please advise
It can't do the most common frequency: 800Mhz
1800Mhz and 2600Mhz work fine, but you mostly just get them in big citys.

hi everyone, I have a rhodium global edition (it came with a sim lock but i bought the sim unlocker =) ) everything is o.k., the phone now accepts mi movistar sim but the battery dont seem to last a lot and it never connect with the 3g network, EDGE only, APN is already configured and the movistar band is 850/1900. any ideas?
I test the sim cardon my girlsfriend bold2 and 3g works fine,
I think the European TP2s use 900/2100MHz frequency for 3G, so you won't get any better than EDGE. In order to get 3G, you must use a phone with a radio that uses your provider's frequency or you will be stuck on EDGE.
It's the same issue that people experience when they use European TP2s in the US as ATT uses 850MHz.
Perhaps if you gave us more information we could be of better assistance. Which Rhodium do you have? Look under the battery. There should be a model number like Rhod100, Rhod210 or something. Movistar uses 2100MHz 3G band. Depending on your model, the hardware may or may not support this frequency.
Hi all
I just recently acquired a INC 2 Love the phone by the way and am located in INDIA
I'm running a r1 rom which offers full GSM functionality
SIM: TATA DOCOMO
The issue I have is
I can connect to GSM only Mode , but when I try GSM/UMTS or UMTS Only , the phone cannot cannect to a network.
The phone is SIM unlocked and in GSM only mode I can call/sms/data fine
My service provider uses the 2100 mhz band so obviously the INC 2 supports that, I have searched and lot and have tried various ROMS, but unable to narrow down a solution
i have tried the *#*#4636#*#* mode and even there only GSM ONLY works
NO GSM/UMTS , WCDMA or anything
Basically I cannot connect to 3G
Any suggestion guys
bump guys...... 98 views and not a soul to reply
Had the same problem, couldn't find a solution. Bump!
Have you try manually entering the APN (access point network) for your carrier? That might help.

Yes I have, pretty much tried everything.
yes the APN is the same for both GSM and 3G
It just wont connect to a 3G network... only works on force 2G ie GSM
That is kind of weird. Does Tata only uses 2100 mhz? Maybe try updating the radios? Does the stock rom also not picking up 3G?
I'll be traveling to Hong Kong in 2 weeks and there uses 2100 as well. Let me see if I can get 3G and will let you know. It's hard for me to test UMTS on my DINC2 here in US coz I could only get EDGE from TMobile or AT&T.
All Indian networks use 2100 ... Yes it did not work on stock either ... I'm wondering if band unlocking is needed ..
Hi, I am an owner of this very nice smartphone, I'm very happy with it but there are a couple of problems that I'm not able to fix:
- it is sold as a 4G (LTE) phone for the sim card on the main slot and 3G on the second slot, it works only on 3G network for the main slot and 2G for the secon one
- an annoying metallic voice or strange noise when I receive or make a call from/to some numbers with a specific sim card (it's random but always the same numbers, I mean... not all numbers of a specific carrier but only some numbers of that carrier and never, till now, with other carriers).
It occours when that sim card is in the second slot (2G) or in the main slot and I force the 2G network on the main slot.
Did you experience the same problem?

Which ever version of the phone that you get is not able to do 4G or LTE so thats a scam of the carrier and for the noise im not sure what can it be.

Vendor assured me that the phone can go in LTE... I must investigate which frequency use Vodafone in Italy.

Thats what I'm trying to explain all the time.

You are probably right and it isn't an LTE device... but for sure the specs on gsmarena are wrong when they say it is a dual sim dual standby.
It is dual active, I can receive calls on the second sim while I'm engaged on the first, hold this and answer on the second and vice versa.
On huawei.ru they say it is 3G, no P6S found on huawei.com.cn
Yes, you are right about dual sim specs. It is definitely dual active.
On GSM Arena are practically all phones dual sim standby. But this is wrong. However, we must admit the fact, that dual sim active phones are very rare.
Hello. I have just bought a used telus htc m8. I live in Mexico and am on the movistar network. I can not seem to get LTE working. I only get 3G. They seem to only use LTE band 2 (1900), I check if the phone was compatible on that band before buying and it said it was, but now after investigating more I see there are different phones with different frequencies.
A couple questions:
How do I know what frequencies the telus version of the phone can pick up? I can not find any info on that version of phone.
If needed, Is it possible to flash a different radio to the phone, say at&t, which seems to support 1900?
Or am I wrong, and all gsm versions are the same? Which would mean it should pick up 1900 since it is listed in the at&t version. If that is the case what else coould I check? All obvious things have been checked: I am in an lte area, other phones around me have it. My sim is 4g. I have the wcdma lte auto option selected on the phone options, and my phone is completely updated.
Hi, I have HTC Desire 820 Dual SIM. SIM 1 Slot is defective, i use SIM 2 Slot where i want to use 3G\4G network but when i change network from 2G to 3G\4G SIM card signals disappeared. "Limited Service" appears. I know that 3G frequency i.e. 2100 MHz and 4G LTE frequency i.e. Band 3 1800 MHz supported by this device.
Any one give me expert opinion to rectify this anomaly.
Thanks in advance.
