Hi guys,
I know that HTC USA version has different LTE bands in comparison with European and Asian variants.
However what I want to know if the combination of bands to do carrier aggregation are different. For example, both devices support bands B7 and B28 but I don't know if both variations support using these bands together.
Google Pixel lists all the possible combinations of bands in order to get carrier aggregation but I can't find this information for HTC 10.
Do you know if American version support bands 7 and 28 together in order to get carrier aggregation?

There is a conflict on the LTE bands supported on the AT&T and HTC USA sites.
So is Band 3 (1800) supported?
I've been reading in a lot of threads about changing radios and versions, and unlocking bands. NO ONE with SUCCESS, for example:

So, if someone could give me an advice. My carrier in Mexico works on AWS LTE BAND 4.
Do i have any chance to get LTE with this phone?
Hi guys. Can anyone let me know, what LTE bands of SM-930FD dual sim of Dubai support? Does it have band 40?
According to this site, yes it does work with band 40. It also lists all other bands the phone uses as well.

Is there a way to check bands on the actual device? If so, I can check for you.
hi guys,
I'm considering asking a colleague in the states to purchase and send me a Pixel XL.
I did a bands support check for my Taiwanese network and the Pixel supports 2 out of 3 of the used LTE bands on my network (Chungwa). The only one missing is B8 (900).
Anyone with knowledge of how LTE networks work care to enlighten me what the side-effect of this could be? Am I going to be having connectivity issues?
That'd depend entirely on how that particular carrier deploys its LTE. Some carriers use all their bands available, while others use some bands in one area and different bands in another.

Thanks for the info. Would there be any way for me to find this out?

I personally would install LTE Discovery and see what your current phone connects to in your area
That's odd. I thought band 8 is needed to get LTE with Chunghwa Telecom.
I have a m8 asia version.
rooted, unlocked with a custom rom.
This is my phone spec with the supported freqs:

Am I able to use at&t's 4G LTE service?
If not, what's the max I got with this phone?
If it's below a H+ I might consider buying a new one..
Thanks for the help!
I don't think the link you posted is specific to the Asia M8 (does not list the proper LTE bands for the Asia version - and band support varied by version). It lists the LTE bands for the EMEA version. I think the following has the proper bands for the Asia version: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_(m8)-6074.php
In either case, the bands listed (either on your link, or the one I posted) do not include any of the LTE bands used by AT&T. AT&T uses LTE bands 2(1900), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), and 17(700)
Support of all the bands (2, 4, 5 and 17) is needed to ensure LTE service in all regions serviced by AT&T (what band they use, varied by locality). So just missing one of the bands can be a problem. And your phone doesn't support any of the bands used by AT&T!
It very unusual for phone versions intended for other (foreign) regions to support all the AT&T bands. So when purchasing a new phone, its best to look at models intended for use on AT&T.
Note, that with s-off ($25 by sunshine is the only way) you can flash the AT&T baseband radio, which in theory changes the band support. However, its still not guaranteed that you will still get LTE on AT&T's network with an M8 "converted" in such a way. We've seen reports of folks getting s-off, and flashing the "proper" radio, only to fail getting LTE on their local carrier. I haven't seen a satisfactory explanation of this, or a fix, unfortunately.
So its an endeavor which costs money, and may ultimately not work. So if you have the option to do so, I would recommend to return the phone, and get another model that supports AT&T's bands out of the box (for the M8, that would be an AT&T branded version, or US Developer's Edition).
