Hi, I am in Korea right now. I want to get a cell phone that I can bring back to Canada when I leave in a few months.
Right now, I have the Vega Racer 2, and it'll only run on my provider back home on 2G (Rogers).
I can't seem to get the right information, so I was wondering if you guys knew what bands the Korean variants of the G has.
From research, it seems that only the S3 has quad-band 2G/3G bands. But I had a S3 back home, and that white Optimus G is mighty beautiful and exotic (they don't have the white model outside of Korea).
Thanks!
Optimus G is Quad Band 3G. The only difference is the LTE frequencies it supports, for example the one I have runs on 700/1700/2100 which is valid for Virgin Mobile Canada, Bell, Telus and Sasktel.

Thanks!

Tim4, I have F180K, and It's not working in WCDMA 900. I tried with Korean ROM, CM 10.1, my friends made tests with EU ROM+ korean baseband - so, I suppose you didin't try it...
Ofcourse im not, im using LTE 1800.
The freqs i wrote here are from network settings of F180K, try to it set as 900mhz, not an auto.
To enter network settings you have to input secret menu code, which i dont remember anymore, google it.
Also note that E975 stock rom doesnt have the hidden network settings (Or the code is different), only stock F180K rom has one.
I was testing it, and as i remember, (in stock Korean ROM) band 900 refers to GSM, same in CM 10.1
Does anyone know the secret code for the service menu as i am also trying to get my korean phone phone to work on 2100 or 2600 lte.
Thanks

I currently have a Korean variant (F500-L). I have seen a couple of these for sale on swappa and both posts say that this phone will work with T-mobile LTE. However, when I've popped in my SIM, I only get 3G. Does anyone else have any experience with this variant on T-mobile? If you were able to get it to work on LTE, how did you do it?
Enter APN settings for T-Mobile. Google that. Just popping in the sim won't give lte.
i have the same issue.. the APN settings seem to be correct.. but it only shows 3G. Model is F500-L
same here i need help too mine is a f500s lg g4 skt version thanks
Far as I know, phone must support LTE Band 2 and 4 to work on T-Mobile 4G network.
But F500(Korean ver. of G4) doesn't support LTE Band 2 and 4. It supports LTE band 1,3,5 and 7. Therefore a phone will only work under 3G network.
Soon in my country a carrier will deploy 4g on band 1 FDD 2100mhz,i have d855 international model and I don't know if is compatible with that network, on gsmarena say I have lte 2100,but I not sure if will work
Nobody?
So since i have the phone the lte bands are not working, i dont know why, but the thing is that when i do the field test>modem settings >lte band section, all the bands dont work, just say fail.
So i try to unlocking lte by dfs cdma tool, but no lte tab was displayed only the gsm and wcdma(and all the bands checked). What can i do to get lte working?
Sorry for my english
Moto Z2 Force (USA AT&T UNLOCKED) doesn't have LTE with any Venezuelan SIM provider
Hello i will do my best to try to explain my issue.
I bought a Moto z2 Force x (At&t) unlocked in EBAY, here in Venezuela i used in Movistar (3g band 1900 / LTE band 4 1700/2100)
The phone dont work with LTE , only 3g (it show 4G logo in signal bar, but not 4g LTE) .
if i do *#*#4636#*#* and enter in network hidden menu, and put in LTE ONLY, the phone enter in NO SERVICE.
I have tried Digitel (3g Band 900 / LTE band 3 1800) , same thing, only takes 3G, if put on LTE ONLY, no service.
In settings, networks, movil networks, preferred network type are only 3 options ( 4G Recommended, 3g, 2g).
I put a Verizon wireless sim card and the options change in the network menu (Global, CDMA, LTE,GSM,UMTS), but no signal because im here in venezuela, of course.
If i put a AT&T the menu totally changes, put ad LTE, LTE ROAMING, VOLTE...
What can i do with my phone to enable 4G LTE Bands? Why my phone is not working with LTE normally? It is software issue? At&t stuck phones to dont work with LTE with foreing sim cards?
Im very confused because if i put Movistar and Digitel SIm cards in LG g6 H873, Moto G4 Amazon PRime, Xiaomi Redmi 6, all the phones takes 4G LTE in seconds.
I hope some of you have the correct answer. Sorry for my bad english, i've did my best
