Thanks!

Just tried it on my S20 Ultra 5G, Qualcomm version and works as well! It has been a while since I could lock a certain band on my Samsung device without having to root, so thanks for the heads up!
I have created a video as a proof, available here https://youtu.be/H7EhuUfcQio

this is an amazing find!
Thank you for that.
I wish there was a way to revert to default.

Dear friend
If you reside in a particular location and the nearby tower is having many bands of same operator. Our mobile phone latches to a particular band or a combination of band called carrier Aggregation or LTEA depending on the configuration of cell site. You can try any combination which gives best speeds at your place and also coverage.

i have locked it to TDD LTE band 40 for maximum speed. Noticing significantly lesser battery drain for now with screen on.
May be while travelling should choose lesser bands for coverage.

[Q] ZE551ML at&t APN settings

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?

ZUK z2 lte works only in big city

Hi everybody! I bought this phone and works nice except lte. LTE is available only in big city not in my town In compare with my old LG g3 that has lte signal in my town... I think it is because of chinese lte bands, right? Is there any chance to solve it? I'm from europe. Thanks for any idea!
I bet your operator uses LTE 800Mhz outside cities and Z2 doesn't have that frequency. No way around this. Use 3G instead outside of cities.

E.g. Poland. Sometimes outside big cities, mobile operators still use this frequency.

LTE band 5(850mhz) in Indian retial unit?
Can someone with the Indian retail unit confirm whether it supports LTE band 5(850mhz)? Since many sellers locally here in India are mentioning it as supported but it is missing in Lenovo India's website's product specification.
Thanks
Yes it does.

Unlock Mate SE frequency bands

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.

It depends on operators and location to location. Check speeds and coverage of your operators band and which band works best.

Question Is there a way to lock bands?

my phone spends way too much time switching between lte bands 1,3 and 20
How can I check if I have the same issue? What app gives this information? Thanks.
try lte discovery. it will tell you which band you are currently on
