h+ stands for HSPA+, or "3,5G". It is an evolved version of 3G, offering higher speeds. But not close to 4G, of course. See wikipedia for more details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM
Unless you got a carrier-locked CDMA model from the US, AFAIK, you have a international GSM device, only capable of connecting to GSM/UMTS networks, and using any of their data protocols (EDGE, 3G, HSxPA). Any ROM that tells you that you're on 4G, they're lying to you, purely an appearance tweak.

Starting this discussion to bring some light or current experiences. In my case, LTE doesn't work with either sunrise/ orange providers. In 1st case, after 1 hour with tech support they said there's nothing wrong with sim/subscription and it should work. The fact is even in areas with good 4G coverage I don't even see the LTE option in network settings. In 2nd case, Orange simply said "your phone is not supported..." !. They both work on the 1800 band, so it's ok, in fact, I was in Lisbon last week and with a vodaphone SIM I could see the LTE option, thought I couldn't ever get more than H+ as network signal. I' 've searched on forums and might be of current firmware release. Some post for similar issue advised to flash Romania 10D version. I have downloaded v 10F (germany) and willing to try it. Anyone to share suggestions or anyone from Switzerland with similar issue? Thanks all.
Current software version is E97510E-Eur-xxx and baseband APQ8064/MDM9X15M

Like i said in that post you quoted,the operator will release a small update(<10mb) in order to give acces to 4G.Orange Romania uses 2600mhz band.If orange Switzerland uses the same freq,then you can try to flash 10D from Orange Romania.
My phone came with 10C,4g not enabled.After 2 weeks or so, i received the update and i have LTE now.
You mean you received update from operator? What steps, contacts did you follow as they say LGOG isn't supported...

I had some problem getting 4G to kick in Before when I knew I was in the center of a 4G zone, what I did was turn on 2G/3G only, then I turned on 4G and it finally connected.
@joliv, you can always go to an Orange shop/store and ask them the settings.
I don't see the option for 4G...

I did a backup of my stuff. Downloaded both german 10F and portuguese (tmn operator) 10E, KDZ firmware files and will try with portuguese first, as it works and is supported by TMN.
Will post any news.

Would you be kind to screenshot your APN settings and attach your build.prop?
Thanks

Solved . I can't believe so simple. After some googling I found a post (in german) I couldn't understand, but referenced some info about network defaults and it's values. Some bell ring and I looked for a ro.telephony.default_network parameter in build.prop. Just changed from "9" to "13", rebooted et voilá. .. many more options available under network settings, including LTE. Once chosen, it registered on 4G victory: ). You have to be rooted of course. I did the change using buildprop editor from ROMtoolbox Pro.
Also, it seemed to me that after flashing 10F, phone was (even) faster. I''ve run Antutu 3 times and always got around 17970 (with 10E never got more than 17150).
About the change - as usual do at your own risk.

Can you post the link you mentioned?
I have the E975 but Sunrise as my provider and I mainly move around in LTE enabled region.
LG support claims there will be such an update for sure but no timeline was given...
Lg doesn't release these small updates,carriers do.

Hi All,
A long time ago I got this device sent to me by an old friend in Korea. I mainly needed it for testing purposes and doing a few videos so it being a Korean version was not an issue.
However now I want to sell this device to someone in the UK but noticed that when I put a UK sim in, it does not work.
Any ideas or fixes how I can get around this?
Thanks in advance!
There are threads for sim unlock in the sprint variant forums, I don't know if they could be helpful for you...

Hello people. I have the Chinese model that does not take 4g in my country. I would like at least 4G or LTE instead of 3g and H +.
Is there any way? I'm root.

One Plus 5T with dual Sim and Use in one of them Tmobile, but I'm not in the USA at the moment, the other sim is from Zain in Kuwait, when I'm connected to WIFI and choose the date from the Tmobile sim, and making sure that the VOLTE and WIFI calling is checked, but it doesn't show in the bar. The Zain in Kuwait also support the VOLTE but still not showing as well. Please let me know if you have a solution for that.
Thanks
