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:
Name = ATT Phone
APN = phone
Proxy = Not set
Port = Not set
Username = Not set
Password = Not set
Server = Not set
MMSC = http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS proxy = proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port = 80
MCC = 310
MNC = 410
Authentication Type = None
APN type = default,mms,supl,hipri,fota,dun
APN protocol = IPv4
Bearer = Unspecified
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

Hey dude please check the pics below. these are in the hidden menu. you can access it by pressing the following into the dialer: 277634*#*
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).

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.

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?

Hy!
I just bought a new phone and wanted to find out if there are any differences compared to the EUR version?
The model number is the same - it looks like everything is the same except at the software updates: its v10I-SEA-XX not v10g-EUR-XX.
The only difference I found is that the updates are arriving earlier.
Can somebody confirm the differences please?
Thanks!

Well I live in 2 countries and neither of them has LTE coverage in the whole country.
And since 100mb, 500mb or the max is 1gb bundle everywhere I dont feel that I need LTE. My internet is always running out even with 3g.
Any other diffrrence?

Hi Jah
There is a work round to this you can access the hidden menu
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and on preferred network type, choose lte/gsm/wcdma
This way you can get 4G without having to mod or root the phone.
I am pretty happy with stock at the moment. I think you need to reset it each time you reboot but to be honest not having to do that very often either.
I hope that this helps

Yes also with magic menu 3845#*855# but once you restart you need to use the magic menu again as it lost LTE connection. Also this version is not covered by European LG warranty.
I'm on Virgin/Bell network in canada and I just got this international G3 from a buddy who i know had it working with LTE using an app called 4G Switch. After formatting the phone, i can't get it to work. It just refuses to connect. I've played with the APN settings and they're the same as what was in my other phone, so i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong.
I've been looking for a permanent solution to this issue as there's no LTE option in the settings. I rooted the phone using purpledrake, but i haven't found any solid solutions to this issue.
Have you tried deleting "Lteconfig.apk" and "Lteconfig.odex" from /system/app using root explorer?

Hey, thanks for the quick response. Yes i tried that. It didn't work either. The thing that gets me is that i should at least be able to connect with the 4G switch. But i can't.
Do you have ro.telephony.default_network=12 in your build.prop?
I always solve the LTE issue by deleting those two files...

btw, if you edit build.prop make sure to set permissions to 644 or you will get boot loop.

He doesn't even have the option to choose LTE in settings, I think that should be there in any case.
Maybe your SIM card doesn't allow LTE, so call your provider and ask if you need a new SIM card.

This is actually a notorious issue with the international G3, the LTE doesn't show up in the settings... has nothing to do with the SIM card.

Here in Spain it does, in certain companies at least, old SIM cards can't be used for 4G (LTE)
International version does not recognize north american sim cards having LTE option, I can confirm this on the D855.
I get it to work on Fido, and I made a guide for it.

Hey, I came across that thread and unfortunately it doesn't work. I'm starting to think it's a carrier thing. The guy who had the phone before me was using Rogers, I'm on Bell... With the options in your thread or the 4G switch app, i should be getting LTE.
That's the thing, Bell does in fact run on a different LTE frequency, so it is very likely that D855 does not have the frequencies required to get LTE on Bell.
Another thing is that you need to make sure you have a Bell LTE Sim card, if you are unsure, just try to recall when your sim card was obtained. If it is more than 3 years old, there's a high chance that it's not an LTE sim.

Ya, i just verified it through a retailer... the international variant of the G3 (D855) does not have the frequencies for Bell/Telus... so lame.
Hello, I have a LG G3 D855 SEA V20c running 5.0. I'm looking for permanent fix for LTE. I'm located in Montreal, Canada running on the Rogers network. I recently rooted the phone . I'm looking for suggestions on how to best achieve this.
I have tried the 3845#*855# method but it has to be redone whenever the phone restarts also you get limited 4G coverage with this phone variant
Thanks,
John

Im just trying to help and apologize if you have already done this but i believe Rogers uses a slightly different apn setting for lte. I havent been with the carrier for over a year now so make sure you got the right settings! If it isnt that then im guessing you are referring to the difference in cellular bands. I do know that USA carriers use a different lte band than us canadians and that for the note 3 devices there was a way to unlock the qualcom chip to enable it but i have not seen such things for the g3 as of yet. Hope i helped:good:

Please check the signals that the 4G band for Rodgers runs on
Sometimes the D855 international variant does not include the signal band that LTE runs on

My note 2 get's excellent LTE coverage. I think I will flash it with the stock HK rom, I think I will have better LTE control and hopefully better coverage.
I got my H815 G4 today (International Taiwan version) and put my Cricket SIM in. I was able to call, but not use data. When I checked the APN settings, they were completely blank. Below are the settings I was given by Cricket support:
Settings > Wireless Networks (More) > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > New APN
Name: Internet
APN: ndo
Proxy: Not Set
Port: Not Set
Username: Not Set
Password: Not Set
Server: Not Set
MMSC: http://mmsc.aiowireless.net
MMS Proxy: proxy.aiowireless.net
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 150
Authentication type: Not Set
APN type: default,mms,fota,hipri,supl
However, after a reboot, I'm not getting LTE. I have data now, but it's some H icon with up and down arrows. Anyone know what that is or how to fix it? Speeds are 2 down and 1 up. That's terrible. Should be like 9 down and a few up.
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

Also cricket piggy backs off ATT Network which uses LTE Band 2 and LG G4 H815T doesnt support

Thanks guys! That was it. Funny thing is, I actually had it set to that earlier but set it back to how I got the phone when I was troubleshooting the APN creation and forgot to put it back. Got 4 down and 4 up which is more what I'm used to seeing at my house (faster in the city but I live in the country).

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.
Any idea why the G5 I have that was unlocked by Sprint OTA will not work with my AT&T SIM? The phone shows the "Bad SIM" icon and refuses to work. I checked the ##DATA# settings, and LTE + LTE roaming are on? Any ideas? Thanks!
I'm no expert, but I believe the Sprint network and phone antennas are 180 degrees different from AT&T.
- Sprint uses CDMA; AT&T uses GSM/UMTS/HSPA+
- Sprint 3G uses bands 10 and 1; AT&T uses bands 2 and 5
- Sprint 4G uses bands 25, 26, and 41; AT&T uses 2, 4, 12, and 17.
Unlocked or not, a Sprint phone antenna is not designed to connect to the same networks as an AT&T phone.
I know there many more knowledgeable than I here, so I welcome corrections.
Change band priority
4 and 2 are from AT&T
Put 1 and 2
And Select GSM on network preference
Open Dial 5689#*992#

Any ideas? This is puzzling as Sprint swears the device has been unlocked OTA? There are others on this forum using the same device on Cricket, and thus I believe it should work on AT&T? I am at a loss? Thanks.

Mmmm , is rare, Maybe not is unlocked
This is the problem u cant choise gsm for other sim

Yours may have only gotten internationally unlocked. Sprint has 2 unlocks. They sneakily volunteer information and assume you mean international unlock only. You have to specify domestic unlock to get it to work in the US if you unlock through Sprint's OTA. It does have the bands to support GSM in the US. Even the G4 does. I unlocked one and have it running on T-Mobile. Talk and text only since it didn't give me the APN menu then, but that's ok, it stays near wifi. If you can't get back in touch with Sprint, there are other ways to get it done without them. You'd have to PM me for that part.
Just Reread The Title. It sounds Like they didnt really domestically unlock it.
Is your agreement with sprint for the device fullfilled?

Fyi, being domestic unlocked vs released by sprint are 2 different things

No it will not.
I called sprint today and they unlocked the phones and told it should work fine on AT&T ( lg G5, iphones 5 and nexus 6)
Need help with unlocking G5.

Yes, it only gets Talk, text and 3G and you can only get it working by swapping your SIM. Verizon won't do it if you ask them

I'm no expert, but I believe the Sprint network and phone antennas are 180 degrees different from AT&T.
- Sprint uses CDMA; AT&T uses GSM/UMTS/HSPA+
- Sprint 3G uses bands 10 and 1; AT&T uses bands 2 and 5
- Sprint 4G uses bands 25, 26, and 41; AT&T uses 2, 4, 12, and 17.
Unlocked or not, a Sprint phone antenna is not designed to connect to the same networks as an AT&T phone.
I know there many more knowledgeable than I here, so I welcome corrections.

There is a free guide to try in dev section
Piggy backing this thread. I've had my LG G5 domestically unlocked by Sprint. I've put in both a ATT and T-mboile sim and added the correct APNs. Calls work so it is definitely unlocked but I can't for the life of me get data to turn on. Not even 3g. Any ideas? Sprint service is deactivated so that shouldn't interfere with the LTE and data. Bands 2,3 ,4, 5, 7 and 12 are enabled according to ##DATA# LTE is enabled. LTE roaming is enabled as well in there.
In network mode I have Automatic, LTE/CDMA, CDMA and GSM/UTMS only. Currently set to automatic. I also tried gsm/utms but nothing.
In LTE discovery I noticed it found LTE band 12 for a second but just connected to UTMS with no data. Everything shows as not roaming (maybe that is the issue?! since these non sprint lte bands are considered roaming bands or something). Reception is good in the area. I usually hit 20mbps+ down in this location with the same sim using band 4.
Help please!
I have a Sprint LG G5 (LS992) and before the ZVC update, I was able to get LTE coverage in my house all the time... Now, after the update disabling my hiddenmenu app trick, I was forced to pay for remote sim unlock for the phone, and everything went great, I have full functionality, and pretty good speeds, using AT&T service now, but I don't get LTE anymore when i'm home... I haven't tried it anywhere else, that is my next move... Just wondering if there was something I missed... I set up the AT&T APN correctly from the ATT website apn settings, have gone through all the hidden menu settings, RAT Selection gsm/wcdma/lte auto, I dunno what I'm missing, other than it just wont work on LTE anymore.
