Hi everyone, I just bought the lenovo p2(p2a42) and when I put my sim card from AT&T in, it only picks up HSPA+ network but not LTE. However when I check band from AT&T it says
17(700Mhz), Band 5(850Mhz), Band 2(1900Mhz), Band 4(1700/2100Mhz)

which p2 support Band 4(1700/2100), and Band 5(850).
Any idea why I cannot get LTE? Any comment is appreciated.
PS. its a brand new sim card since I was using micro not nano on my last phone.
In your area probably there isn't antennas with the supported bands from the phone. Obviously they use the other bands
Wish you could have posted here before actually buying it.

There is no way you can get 4g in at&t. Tough luck. Always refer to this site in future!

Thanks for the website but I don't know if I should trust it. ie: p2 support B4 and the website does not have it under p2....
It does support band 4 but that's the only band it does support. There are 5 other bands that it doesn't support.
So there probably isn't band 4 coverage in your area.

The Verizon variant only supports 2 bands of LTE (Band 4 and Band 13). So if your area doesn't have either one of those Bands, you will most likely be stuck on Edge.
Ok

Download LTE discovery from the Play Store and it will tell you which band you are utilizing for LTE.
There's an existing 10 page thread about this very topic. All of your questions are likely to be already be answered there.
Verizon Note 4 on t-mobile network
I am not getting 4G LTE. It is staying on H (hspa). I have the one plus one and get LTE.
The info online says this phone should have all of the bands required.
Any ideas.
Thank you
This is the 4gb ram 64gb ROM version

Check Settings - Mobile Network settings - Preferred Network Type and set it to LTE if you have this option and is not already set.
But I doubt that this is your problem. You bought the Taiwanese phone, didn't you? While OnePlus supports all ATT LTE bands (17, 4, 2), the Taiwanese Zenfone 2 doesn't support band 17 (nor ww model), which is otherwise typical for less inhabited aeries in the USA, but it seems that is widely used by ATT. Try the phone in the downtown or another city and you'll probably catch the LTE on other frequencies.
Yes I purchased it from Taiwan but all of the sites show so many bands for this phone. Asus does a terrible job with their model numbers. There are so many different versions with the same model number. There is a 4 g setting not lte and that is selected. I did pick up 4g while driving through part of the city.
Is there going to be a US model?
Thank you
Yes. There is a US model and its supposed to be released in the next month or so. The link below, click on specs, shows the LTE bands for each region. Clearly shows the Taiwanese model not having the 17 band.

That stinks. I took that page as it will work in all of these markets. Oh well
Thanks

Where in US are you?
There are some areas in the US that are only on LTE band 17. I suspect that's OP's issue.

I looked at it and TW, WW and US all have 1700 bands if that's what you are referring to. If not can you shed some light?

The topic is about bands not frequencies. There is nothing such as 1700 LTE band. Actually both USA and TW phones work on approximate LTE 700 MHz but bands are different because uplink and downlink are different. So TW model works on band 28 and US one on 17.

I see now. Tnx for the quick response. Hopefully I'm not outta luck when the phone arrives tomorrow from TW. Do you think that flashing later on a radio or baseband will solve this issue?
It's not that simple. Luckily Intel chip supports all LTE bands. But they must be activated in kernel too. Maybe someone will find the method to activate the missed ones. Otherwise you are not so bad. With TW phone you are short of only one LTE band of four major in the USA, Europeans missed 2 of 3.

Thanks again for that. I see a bright future for this. Appreciate all this info. And definitely will see u around.
CT and work in long island NY. I hit 4g LTE on my way to work but most of the time have hsta+ which is not terrible.
I'm stuck with NO data on my Zenfone 2 with T-Mobile.

Check your APN settings.
Should be
fast.t-mobile.com
make sure the dash is in there.

Thanks that worked. I've always used fast.tmobile.com for my connection and never had issues until today. Now I'm happy and on 4g.

Frequency wise is matches everything AT&T needs, i just picked up my 4g/64gb TW model, i'll be playing with apn's to see if i can get lte to pop. Only getting H+ so far.
Correction, shipped with WW firmware, no 700mhz for us.
More - As posted above, this Taiwanese version is missing the LTE band 17. And there are some areas that this may be the only band available, so you will not have LTE in those situations.
Thanks so much.... I was having a heck of time here with my Zenfone 2 in Tucson AZ on T-mobile.... I was stuck on 2G... but updating the APN to fast.t-mobile.com and 2 reboots seems to have done the trick. So glad I don't have to EBAY this! THANKS AGAIN.... Loving this thing so far!
Well ****! This is where I am stuck win H+ on ATT.
No way around this huh unless someone does a new rom? Or is it hardwired?
Has anyone tested out an AT&T SIM card in a Verizon variant of the G4? I'd really like an android phone that has LTE bands for both AT&T/VZW to swap back and forth with my iPhone. The VZW Nexus 6 worked great, but it was just too clunky for me.
Thanks in advance for the help!
AT&T uses two main bands for LTE, bands 5 and 17. They also use bands 2/4/29/30 depending on the market.
The Verizon G4 supports these bands according to Verizon: 2/4/13, and these bands according to other research I found online: 2/4/5/7/13.
If that's true, it sounds like you should be able to get some LTE in most markets, but you would be limited as the only bands you could get LTE on would be 2/4/5.
Thanks for your help!

Do you know where 2/4/5/7/13 are confirmed online? I really wish LG would give us more lte bands like the S6 and iphone 6 do so that I can use it between the US and Europe.

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.

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.
Is it possible? I'm with MetroPCS and get about 80% of their frequencies but I'm short a few bands. Anyone on the same boat as me?

I'm with T-Mobile and the phone works great with no band issues-even better than my S7 edge Tmo.

I know MetroPCS uses their network. Have you done the frequency check to see if you're getting all their bands, for t mobile I mean? I have attached the bands that the mate supports on Metro but would like to enable the ones that aren't.

I don't think the Mate phone (or any honor 7x version) have the hardware capabilities for band 66 or 71. If the phone was exclusively for T-Mobile, I bet Huawei probably equipped at least their flagships with them. Below you can see all the supported bands from all the Honor 7x versions.
https://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_honor_7x-8880.php#l24
For me, even if the phone had either band 66 or 71 dunno if T-Mobile have deployed these frequencies where I live. I either get band 4 or 12 and is incredible fast (100 Mbps download).
ugh i totally want to know how to unlock all those bands
This phone becomes useless when you travel to Europe especially with LTE as major bands used in Europe aren't supported on US models.
this is very frustrating.
