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

Does anyone know of a way to enable the GSM/LTE bands but leave all of the CDMA/LTE bands still enabled? Or at least to enable the GSM/LTE bands while disabling the CDMA bands? If a solution is not known, would it be safe to flash in the SM-T217A or SM-T217T firmware(s) and then unlock the bands? Thanks for any help given.
Same problem

according've researched this tablet is only sprint cdma only, no way to switch to gsm, I have tried everything and nothing, keeps saying invalid sim what led me to the conclusion,if you want a gsm have to buy one with companies that use GSM technology.
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.
i have the mentioned model number of LG G4. but apparently LTE isn't working with my carrier which supports Band 3 1800.
My phone does support band 3 but with all the right settings still its working on 2G .. please help..
i live in pakistan an using warid network.
You probably don't have the correct apn settings
My internet works only with GSM.
When I change to LTE / 4G it will not work.
I flash back to stock.
It has worked LTE 4G earlier.
I have the correct APN set.
Could it be a setting in my phone or hardware?
