I've spent most of yesterday and today trying to get LTE on Bell Mobility's version of the Nitro. APN configuration, SIM card, account provisioning have all been taken care of yet the phone cannot connect to LTE. Is there something I'm missing? H+ is hooking up fine but LTE is non-existent. I've been in touch with Bell and AT&T's tech support, customer service. mlee1999 (prior owner who was able to get LTE) has also been kind enough to try and help me out with this.
Thoughts anyone?
My only guess is that Bell and Rogers are using AWS 1700 MHz for their LTE networks. AT&T is using 700 MHz and thus is not compatible or 700 MHz is not enabled by default.
LiViD is correct about the frequencies but the Optimus LTE has 700 and 1700 turned on.
There is something else I went through with my Optimus LTE:
When i got my phone, my SIM was an LTE SIM, my Optimus LTE was an LTE handset, and my account was provisioned to a 1GB Data plan, but by some fluke, Bell only allows LTE on the $70+ 6GB plans and no other. I upgraded to the 6GB plan and rebooted my handset and presto! LTE came up.
One other thing is, are you in a LTE area or a fringe zone? might sound like a stupid question, i know.
Oh, and did you call AT&T to add this phone to the account, or just throw in your LTE SIM card?? Most carriers now require you to give them the ESN for LTE handsets to be activated on the LTE network.
Could I request you check my post out please? If you could help we'd be most appreciative!!
All provisioning on my account was confirmed with ATT. I also had them check ATT LTE in my area and they confirmed I should be able to get it.
Love to help you with the other thread but I've never pulled those files. Some brief instructions via PM and I'll give it a try.

Seen the first link and it didn't work. Just tried the second link and it caused a FC when trying to connect.
I just got off the phone with AT&T and they can't do anything with an unlocked device. They did look into to it to see if they could assist but since it's not a branded device, they couldn't do much. The tech did say that she could not see APN settings on her side which leads me to believe that without it being set I will not see LTE. As a little bit of background, I'm coming from an iPhone and have switched directly to the Optimus LTE. I had to go thru all the changing/updating and provisioning of my account and even replaced the SIM card all to no avail.
You'll probably have to wait for either a Radio ROM to be released or for someone to unlock the 700 MHz frequency within the factory OS ROM itself.
Not so sure about that since mlee1999 was able to get an LTE connection. Only difference is he was not coming from an iPhone.

cman6453,
You could try flashing the Nitro baseband to your phone and see if that does the trick. Make sure to back yours up first (and make sure mmcblk0p14 is, in fact, your baseband firmware partition).

Was there any evidence provided from mlee1999 saying that he was connected via LTE and not HSPA+? Something sounds questionable about that. If AT&T is using 700 MHz and Bell is using AWS 1700 MHz, that Bell phone would not work on AT&T's LTE network. Sure the device can be unlocked, but that won't unlock the baseband frequencies.
Well, i can assure you now that the 700Mhz band is operational with AT&T via this link:

These settings are confirmed to access the AT&T LTE Network:

I personally doubt that the phone is the problem (aside from the APN settings), I am leaning towards the carrier being the problem on this one (either APN issues or something on their backend).
I will keep hunting to try and help you.
I went out today and added a second line to my account. I even picked up a Nitro (going back tomorrow) to do more "research". As soon as I got home, I switched the Nitro SIM to the Optimus. No LTE. As a matter of fact, no data at all. As soon as I switched the Nitro SIM back into the Nitro all was fine and dandy.
My goal for this exercise was to be able to switch, EASILY, between an iPhone 4S and an LTE device. Well, doesn't look like that's going to happen. Even if I got the LTE to work switching back and forth would be too much work given how randomly I switch between devices.
So I've pretty much exhausted this experiment. Thanks to all that put in there 2 cents!!
Rep - I also think it's something on their backend that's preventing LTE from lighting up. I originally thought, put the microsim in an adapter, pop it into the LTE capable device and off I go...BUT noooooooo, 3 days of pecking and hunting and big brother beats me...DAMMIT! I'll live to fight another day!!
When I first tried LTE phone I also didn't have internet at all (though as phone it worked fine), I had to call ATT to activate my sim card on their end.
Quick summary of the steps I went thru to try and get the Optimus to connect to AT&T LTE.
1. Confirmed I was in an LTE area.
2. Changed my AT&T plan to an LTE data plan.
3. Confirmed APN settings on it were the same as that found on the Nitro.
4. Changed my SIM to a "70357" SIM. That's the SKU for the SIM that they're using on their LTE devices. I checked the Nitro that I purchased and VOILA, same type SIM.
5. Confirmed my new AT&T plan was associated to the IMEI for the Optimus.
When I swapped the SIM from the Nitro, I thought I was finally going to be in LTE heaven. Nope. Not a chance but I do have a good idea on what the problem is/was.
The Nitro's IMEI was associated with that specific SIM. I went thru this process when I initially changed my plan to accomodate the Optimus. The CSR asked for the IMEI AND the UICC from the SIM. Apparently AT&T's system doesn't recognize the Optimus' IMEI. The CSR mentioned that but was able to leave the IMEI as-is. I confirmed the IMEI was not recognized by going into an AT&T store and a CSR there noticed that my account was using a "regular" GSM phone when I asked about no LTE on the Optimus.
SO.....what I'm thinking was that since the Nitro's SIM was associated with the Nitro, when I placed it into the Optimus AT&T's system noticed the UICC of the SIM was not associated to the appropriate IMEI so it was denied access to LTE. Vice-versa with my original SIM when I placed that into the Nitro. As soon as I returned the SIM's to their usual devices, LTE returned for the Nitro. WHEW!!
Moral of the story: iPhone and LTE devices, at the moment, take a lot of work to swap out regularly. So, for now, I'll be sticking with H+ devices and going along my merry way.
In case anyone was still curious, here is the definitive answer on the Optimus LTE's AT&T LTE connectivity! I am on vacation back home visiting family in Illinois, and decided to bring my Optimus LTE along for the trip, to see if I got LTE in Chicago. The line is provisioned with LTE data, and has an LTE compatible SIM.
This makes me happy, because that means now I can import other devices with the 700Mhz or 1700Mhz LTE bands and be able to use them on AT&T's network!

Lcrkz0023 says it works here.
I'm using the Z1 Compact on T-Mobile here in the states.
Friday and Saturday the connection was kinda flaky. It would stay on 3G most of the time but jump around randomly between 4G, 3G, 2G, and disconnected even though I had full bars. T-Mobile customer support couldn't help so I bought a replacement sim to see if that would work. I haven't been on the phone as much today (Sunday) but it's been solid when I was using it. I did cut the previous sim myself from a normal-sized sim so that could be the cause of my initial problems. I've also disabled 4G for now so I'm only connected on 3G.
Another thing I noticed is that the com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup process eats up quite a bit of battery. I did some research and it seems to be related to fast dormancy. I'm guessing T-Mobile doesn't support it here but the phone is trying to use it. I hope this is just growing pains and that Sony will sort it out soon.
For TMobile USA users...even thought when you 1st install your sims card during it pre-set up it says that it downloads Tmobile's MMS settings but in fact it doesn't, you will need to go into APN settings and manually configure your settings to exactly this: (otherwise your MMS will not work)

thanks! it did download SOME settings, just clearly not the right ones.
Yep the new settings seem to work better and the com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup process isn't showing up anymore. :good:
New APN settings worked like a charm!
I Love XDA!! I've been waiting for this phone forever and got it once I saw here that people in the US were able to make it work. Then today I noticed my MMS messages were not working and wala, a post about my issue that immediately fixed it! Thanks so much!
On the screen protector issue I have scratches on the back already and I am debating taking the protector off or buying another to put over the top. When I tried to take the protector off my Z1s I couldn't get it off. Are there any secrets to taking them off? Any thoughts on whether to leave it and get another or take it off and let the scratch-resistant glass do its job? I like the idea of the glass being less prone to dust and fingerprints. If I need to get another one where is the best place to order it from that will ship to the US?

my connection shows 4g. i've only seen h+ for about 30 seconds after leaving the subway.
Looks like the D5503 is the only model available right now, and as all other XXXX3 Sony models, they don't have the AWS band. This means that if T-Mobile has LTE in your area, you will get HSPA+ on this phone, but you will be very likely to run into EDGE areas where there is no LTE deployed. To be a fully compatible device, we need the D5506 with AWS/1700 WCDMA. LTE in San Diego is pretty widespread, but I would still worry about not having an AWS compatible device.
I haven't even seen mentions of a D5506, I wonder if one will be released.

But according to GSMArena and according to Sony the D5503 does support AWS on both LTE and HSPA+.

You're right. The spec sheets I had seen on other sites didn't have it on there. The official Sony whitepaper confirms AWS is supported:
D5503 UMTS HSPA+ 850 (Band V), 900 (Band VIII), 1700 (Band IV),
1900 (Band II), 2100 (Band I) MHz
GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 20)

Now I want one, but I don't want to pay full retail for it. My Xperia ZL was bought at full MSRP and sold it for way less than I paid. Worst resale value of a phone I've owned.

i'm not sure, as i'm a new convert to t-mobile and different carriers seem to use the same names for different technologies, but i think no. there's a seperate icon i've seen in screenshots that says 4g lte and i don't have that, just 4g. there's an article here on the difference.

...simply says 4g, not which of a couple of different technologies called 4g is actually being used.
Must be a software or network thing. Mine shows whether it is LTE or hspa or H+.

I have an LG-E980 (Optimus G Pro) that I bought at an AT&T store, unlocked, used on T-Mobile for a year and now I am using on AT&T (the carrier for which it was made), but under no circumstances can I get it to acquire LTE signal.
Just a few things to note:
1. I unlocked it when I first got it by paying for a code to be sent to me (which it was and I was able to unlock it immediately) -- It was not AT&T that unlocked it for me.
2. I do remember seeing the 4G-LTE once while on T-Mobile
3. My AT&T account is set up for LTE access (verified at AT&T store)
4. My SIM Card can access LTE network (verified by putting my SIM in an LG-G3 that belonged to one of the AT&T store employees)
5. I am currently using a rooted stock LG-E980 ROM (KK 4.4)that was "restored" onto the phone rather than flashed.
My last option would be to put my SIM in a LOCKED E-980 and see if just because it is unlocked it can't access the AT&T LTE network. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Mike

Should be an easy fix man try setting your apn again just one letter or word wrong and it wont work.....
Set
Name= ATT Phone
APN= either iso or ndo cant remember
mmsc=http://mmsc.att.wireless.net
mmscproxy= proxy.att.wireless.net
port= 80
350
150 those last two vary on region
apn type= admin,default,mms,hipri,supl
It works for me and did the exact same thing.
I am on cricket but the networks are the same and apns dont distinguish all my asop roms say ATT,
Or you could use the AIO one
Cricket Aio Wireless
ndo
http://mmsc.aiowireless.net

You need to go into settings -> More -> Mobile Networks -> network mode and choose GSM/WCDMA/LTE for LTE to work.
Mine was set to GSM/WCDMA out of the box

That would make it false advertisement by tropical_mobile, because they explicitly list b2(lte1900) in their description of the product. And having all AT&T bands present, minus 30, was a major prerequisite for my decision to buy from them.
If I don't get 4G speeds when my phone arrives, provided I correctly copy the AT&T settings from my current GS3, I guess I'd have to put their return policy to the test.
Is there a way to see which bands the phone is using?
ETA. LTE Discovery says that I'm on band 17. So, I should be good to go.
But that false advertising still stinks.

Makster, did you receive your G4 from Tropical Mobile? I was thinking of buying the same thing from them, but their communication hasn't been clear. Is it the Taiwan variant? And if so, does the Taiwan variant not have the b2(lte1900)? I know the H815T (Hong Kong variant) does not, but I wasn't sure about the Taiwan version. I mainly just want to have all the AT&T bands before I buy the international phone...
It's supposed to be delivered by 10:30 this morning. If I am not at work by then, I'll try to at least take a picture of the label on the box, if nothing else.
BTW, all of the tracking info, as well as seller's profile, says Singapore. I'm not sure if that indicates anything, though. The other guys, never-msrp, are from Taiwan.

The Taiwan LG site says that it supports band 2, and all the other bands that Tropical mobile says it does, so I would assume that would be the case.

I just wanted to make sure as the other seller "Never MSRP" lists band 2 as well, but when I contacted them they confirmed they are selling the H815T and it doesn't pick up band 2 (even though they have written that it does in their product description). Also, do you know if you can tether on cricket with these international versions without having to root the phone? I know on the Cricket phone I currently have tethering doesn't work due to a "network error"....

Just got the phone. I won't be able to post the photo I took until later in the day, so I can edit out the s/n, etc.
But the box says H815, NOT H815T, and the phone itself, on the battery compartment, says H815.
The box also lists all the bands the non-T phone is supposed to have, including Band 2.
Interestingly enough, there is "TWN" written in an empty space I the same label (far away from the model number).
Also, in case it matters, the default language offered was English (Singapore).
I turned it on to be sure it boots up, but other than that I'm going to exercise my will power and wait until the evening.

O.k. great, so I guess the Taiwan model is good to go as far as having the same bands as the UK model. Doesn't have the unlocked bootloader, but that is o.k. with me. When you get a chance to play around with it tonight, let me know if you can tether easily on it! I am going to buy it from the same source...thanks!
So, here's the box label. H815, no T suffix, B2 is there.
Hi All,
I seem to be having trouble getting AT&T LTE working with my LG G4 H815. I already tried the seperate LTE enabling setting, but no luck. The best I have been able to get is HSPA+.
Thanks for the help!
I had this issue when trying to first set the H815 up with them. First problem is that the imei is not in their system since it is a foreign phone...they must add it manually. you need to call them and tell them you have a new phone and give them the imei
second is the apn the automatically is set by the sim is not the best. the right apn for the phone is:

if this does not get to LTE then make sure your phone is set for LTE. see pics. if that does not work we may have to go into the hidden menu
Hmm, the only thing I had to do on my H815 was to set the LTE Auto. The phone provisioned itself for AT&T (correctly), and I did not have to call AT&T about it.
It just worked.
Maybe it's a different flavor of H815? Mine is the Asian version (non-T) from ebay.

Can you run a speed test if you are on ATT with an 815 (or an 815 on Tmobile if you have it)? There is a general thread where people are complaining that 815s run super slow LTE on the ATT network, while ATT models are fast.
I just had my IMEI added manually, confirmed the proper APN from their tech support, and set GSM/WCDMA/LTE to auto.
No luck, I am still connecting to HSPA or HSPAP.

well this is is because the people with fast speeds on AT&T live in an area which has carrier aggregation or LTE-A turned on. this would give much faster speeds.
The H815 is capable of LTE-A out of the box but need to set the right setting in the hidden menu. Though it may never work right on the H815 but thats the price we pay for an unlocked phone.

are you sure your not confused about the symbol you are seeing uptop?
the "4G" on the H815 means LTE
the "H" means HSPA or HSPAP
idk what else to tell you
I am seeing "H" but I also confirmed in About Phone -> Network.
Well do you know the band's that you usually get in your area? Mine switches between band 2 and 17

Once in follow the screen shots i provided. i will post more in another post
after you do that back out to the modem setting once again and follow the screenshots again. once done it will ask you to reboot. do that.

I get exactly the same speeds as I get with my ATT GS3.
Ran speedtest last night and got 16Mbps up (although down was slower).

Makes sense since that phone was made before LTE-A

In modem setting hit network mode then click automatic. If that does not fix it then you have a faulty phone....

Factory Reset and went through all your settings again, word for word.
Still not working out and now I am at home instead of work. I am getting 6.95Mbps down and 1.27Mbps up, HSPA in About -> Network.
Additionally, for your bands question, one forum says for my area, AT&T run on 2, 4, and 17.
Thanks again for all the help so far.
Do you know which country code your LG has? Is it the Singapore, EU, or USA variant?

Model info in About -> Phone shows LG-H815. From my understanding it is a European model.

The country code is on the box. I am seeing some complaints about h815 speeds on AT&T lately. Due to the extremely vast amount of h815 variants, it might help weed something out if it's just a few models being incompatible for unknown reasons if that's the case... I am not a tech expert, but just suggesting... I would also try exchanging your phone like someone else suggested -- you might have bad hardware?

Unfortunately I do not have my box with me(will have a look tonight). I ended up buying it from the following eBay auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281696933232 so perhaps it is a H815T?
