Hi everyone.
I'm using T-Mobile LG G3 D851 right now. I upgraded via OTA method few days ago. I noticed a bug or what I should say I don't know. LG G3 D850 have LTE feature. When I set network mode to AUTO GSM/WCDMA/LTE, it shows 4G when I turn on Mobile Data. I checked the About Phone section and also checked Network State. In network state, I always find Mobile network type showing HSPA or HSPAP. I never found LTE. I contacted my Service Provider. They informed me that you've an LTE SIM card and you have full LTE Signal Strength in your are. Please anyone tell me, why I'm not getting LTE?
At first I got kind of confused. The 4G icon indicates LTE on stock ROMs. HSPA, however, indicates 3G. Here's the deal, the G3 phones are not equal. The D851 is a T-Mobile GSM phone. The D850 is also GSM I believe but for AT&T. They support different bands. Even though the phones and your SIM is LTE capable, that doesn't mean they both work the same on a given network. You're in Pakistan on the Zomg network. The D851 can't take advantage of the services there.
Screenshots below show that the D851 can't do LTE there but the D850 can. It's always best to check the bands a carrier uses and compare them with what a phone supports. GSMArena is a good place to check that.
You might be out of luck with the D851. Not sure.
@iamqaisarkhan, here's a list showing the LTE bands supported between the two phones. D850 supports more bands including the one used by your carrier.

OK, I have been playing with this for over a week, searched and tweaked, searched and tweaked and....... :crying:
SO, can you use an LG G3 (D850) (AT&T Variant) on Verizon's network?????
This isnt my first time flashing/rooting phones etc, but for some reason I just cant get this to connect to Verizon's net.
I have an LG G3 D850, with Cloud ROM, the Verizon Data net settings are set correctly, BUT when I scan for networks I am only able to see ATT's networks (Along with US Cell, BTW, and some others, with a combination of LTE, GSM, WCDMA, but no Verizon).
My HTC 1 from Verizon sitting right next to the new G3 has Verizon 4G LTE connection and no issues.
Am I doing something wrong or is it a limitation on the hardware or.................
Thanks for any help
Can't be done. 2 different sets of tech for the carriers. Verizon uses cdma and att is gsm. Not compatible. I looked into the same thing a few weeks ago.
Hi there,
My country cell provider, recently upgraded their connection to LTE. Their LTE frequency are said to be running on 900 Mhz Frequency
I bought my LG G3 in korea, so obviously my LG G3 is a korean version. LG G3 Cat.6 or the model is F460
I've changed my sim card to LTE sim, and my mobile connection are set to LTE preferred. However till these days still I haven't seen any 4G or LTE sign on my connection. I know not all the areas are covered, however even though I'm in the area where it's already LTE, I don't seems to getting the signal. I don't know is it because my mobile doesn't support the frequency here or other reasons maybe to explain it?
I'm having a hard time looking at the information if LG G3 F460 actually support LTE at 900mhz frequency?
It's running smoothly on a 3G currently.
FYI : It always shows 3G even though its actually running on 3.5G. However my friend said its just the display, while actually its already running the 3.5G Connection. I don't know if its the case with the 4G as well
I can't post the link to the specs here., because I still have post under 10. Maybe anyone can help me?
Thanks before
Mostly Network operator tell u if you 4G phone is compatible with their frequency or not thats the authentic way to know.

I have the North American 64gb Zenfone 2. I use AT&T's Share plan and I registered my phone in AT&T's system and it refuses to give me LTE. AT&T claims LTE is enabled on my sim but it doesn't work. When I pop in my brother's sim from an AT&T locked device I get LTE. I do not have any other AT&T locked devices in my house as I recently switched. Can anyone help please??
I am having the same kind of situation with Cricket which is owned by AT&T. My SIM had LTE with my LG Optimus G Pro but only 4G with my ZF2. It is the exact same SIM.
Im on straightalk i used a att sim with no issues on my NA asus zenfone 2, had perfect 4G(lte) signal on 06610.

If the indicater says "4g" that is LTE
OK, cool. My OGP showed LTE when it had the signal. I guess I was expecting the ZF2 to show the same.

Hope this helps.

Visit your nearest AT&T store and get the rep to delete your ZF2's IMEI from their system. If they won't allow you to, borrow someone else's phone and **get another SIM card** from them. Modifying your APN settings won't help at this point.

I think the phone only shows 4g.. My Nexus 4 (wth LTE Radio) shows LTE..
I am also using Cricket and my phone shows 4G symbol, with speedtest.net I get the 8Mbps down (Cricket caps 4g at that).
When I popped in my t-mobile sim (from the Nexus 4) it also showed 4G symbol, but i would get 26-34Mbps down (which is the 4G/LTE speed)
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 was reading this phone specs through LG directly and others as phonescoop and pdadb. LG says this phone does not support UMTS, just CDMA, 2G and LTE, but others says it does. Has somebody used this phone 3G overseas?
I've connected to T-Mobile HSPA+ here in the U.S. with it.

Ok. Thanks. I was also reading verizon support web site and it shows network mode menu with the option LTE/UMTS/GSM available. Probably people that is reporting only edge with Tmo is maybe because they are in areas where 3G is at 1700/2100. This phone has only 850,900,1900,2100.

I'm traveling right now and have been using the phone in Germany, England, and Netherlands and had HSPA+ everywhere (with the proper sim of course). No LTE anywhere.

Verizon tends to only publish bands that they use as available on phones. For instance it says the VS986 only works on LTE bands 2, 4, and 13.
