Hi,
I almost close to buy this model.
I will pass it to a person that lives out of u.s.
The LTE network there: 2600/1800.
The GSM network there: 850/900/2100
He told that the phone is unlocked and he also figuerd it with Sprint.
They (Sprint) told him it will work in any county.
Also mentioned something with "Unlocked by EOD".
BUT:
When i read the specs of the LS990 I see under :
Network: GSM Quad Band/UMTS Tri Band/LTE Tri Band
And Under:
Frequencies: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UMTS 850/1900/2100, LTE Bands 25/26/41*
I can see that:
GSM - V **The Quad Band is aint someting exclusive to Spirit or U.S networks, right?
UMTS - V **The same regarding the " Tri Banad"
LTE - V **The same regarding the " Tri Banad"
And i can see that the LTE of this model is not something i know heard about in ISRAEL.
We have here 2600 & 1800 frequencies
With all that info' - can u confirm this model is like factory unlocked to work within ANY GSM & LTE global?
Thank you very much!

Sorry, not all of us are into "this world".
What does "locked down" means in my case?
By the way - the phone comes with a SIM-card slot!
Thanks for your help.
P.S: read this article and looks like it is possible to make a sim unlock within Sprint:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...ruary-11-2015-onward-domestically-unlockable/
Look, in the simplest of terms, the Sprint LG G3 is not the model you're looking for. It is not unlocked out the box, and is difficult to unlock properly because it is done through the service provider, in this case Sprint via an OTA method.
Get a proper GSM version.
Final answer i've got from Sprint:
They confirmed the phone will work in any other country.
That the phone is unlocked, that the procedure turned the LG G3 phone to a factory unlocked by all matters, to be used globaly by any LTE / GSM network.
And all i have to do is buy an 128k SIM card in my country and it will work with any carrier.
The rep' said: "it has been Unlocked and will indeed turn the LG G3 phone to a factory unlocked by all matters, to be used global by any LTE / GSM network."
I just need to turn some setting...that's all.
Hope that the rep' is right...but i talked to them few times regarding that thing.
Thanks very much!

Sorry bro. No Hebrew. I would have recognized it. Double checked right now.
Thanks very much.
Do U know if it possible to add an unavailable right to left language for a model that specifically produced to the U.S market?
One more thing is: Read that theIr are lang's which are builded in , But the provider is just BLOCKING part of them.
So in order to fix that - I shell install the zip of the MoreLocal2. (not the app).
Saw a guid on a Galaxy Note which worked on it.
Anyone know's if it supposed to work for any Android?
Thanks again.
So, I got a LS990 in Canada which won't find no LTE networks in Canada. Bell in Canada operates on 2600 and 1700 while LS990's standard is 850/1900/2500. So, I basically hate this device and didn't want to believe the fact that LTE bands had hardware dependency though these are world phones. It sucks but I would still appreciate if someone could prove me wrong.
Thanks!
Here's how to unlock additional bands. I haven't tried it as I'm not needing to unlock more bands, but it's something to read about.

i want to buy an atrix to send to india... i know the voice will work once i root the phone...
the question is:
the 3g bands for the atrix are: "HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100"
the 3g bands in india are: "900 / 1800"
so would the 3g work in india, or does the atrix have to have both 900 AND 1800 for it to work? or will the 900 alone do the job??

as far information available on the internet most of the GSM operators in india operate in 900/1800 MHz range.
For 3g most GSM based operators are in 1900 MHz range which is supported by atrix, although BSNL/MTNL operates 3g in 2100 MHz range which too is supported by atrix.

FYI u do not need to root ur phone in order for voice and data to work. Albeit u need to network unlock from AT&T which u can buy at many websites.

Did you unlock the imei to use it on ur country? It allows you to use ur sim card from ur national carrier.
If you didnt, that's the problem.
If you did, you should make sure you put correct apn's to makes internet connection working.

I just wanted to discuss if anyone is using any Xiaomi device while on any of Canada's phone carriers.
I have no problems getting mine working on 4G LTE currently across the Greater Toronto Area. I only tried this on the MIUI 7 with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (version I got is China Mobile/Unicom Edition) although I do believe my method will work on MIUI 8 and Global version as well. If anyone needs help setting up theirs to work on 4G LTE network in North America, just leave a reply below. And I will post How-To.

Mine is running on Qualcomm Snapdragon variant of the phone.
Technically my phone supports the following:
Network Bands/ Frequencies:
2G bands GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2
3G bands HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700(AWS) / 1900 / 2100
TD-SCDMA
4G bands LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 38(2600),
39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500)
With my (TBA) method, the bands/ frequencies are utilized switching from 3G to 4G with ease while in Canada. *Also I'm not getting any problems with signal or data so far so good
Below is screenshots of what I can gather, how well my method works (despite Canada LTE network requires Bands with 700MHz)
I have that version China/unicom but there i have only 2g.cant use 4g it gets no service and 3g only appears the network but cant send sms/make calls/internet

Go to the dial pad of your phone. Type *#*#4636#*#* and press on "phone information1" if that's where the sim card is located that you are using. Scroll down until you find "Set preferred network type" and choose "Unknown".
Now go to settings of your phone and press on "sim cards & mobile networks" and press the "Sim 1" by now press "Preferred Network Type" change to 3G or LTE.
Hopefully this works for you.
Im in a bad luck.its the same lte i get emergency calls only and if choose 3g network appears but it switches back to Edge.when 3g appears data icon disapears and get no sms calls internet
I was in Canada for a couple of weeks and used my Redmi Note 3 Pro on Rogers network. 4G worked fine, didn't have to do anything special. I think it was the 2600Mhz band. I am running CM13 nightly.

Nice to hear that, but some people have problems in Canada depending on what model of redmi note 3 pro they have and which phone carrier/ provider they were trying use.
Im in Portugal.the frequencies in the China unicom redmi note 3 should work here.im trying running all options until jumping to the hardware issue since i got this phone with a vendor customize rom.
Was with Vodafone but changed to MEO(Portugal Telecom) we have three operators but they all use the same frequencies.

Step 1, Remove SIM card.
Step 2, go to Dial Pad type *#*#4636#*#*
Step 3, press phone information1 (or 2)
Step 4, scroll down and change "Set preferred network type" to Unknown
Step 5, go to phone settings, put back SIM card in phone and press "SIM cards & mobile networks"
Step 6, press SIM 1 or SIM 2, depending which SIM you are using, press Preferred network type, set it to prefer LTE.
Step 7, quickly go back to phone information1 (or 2) and change "Set preferred network type" to LTE/GSM auto (PRL).
Hopefully this has worked for you, if not try steps again but change Step 7 to LTE/WCDMA or LTE only.
Good luck

Original Post
The Pocophone F1 LTE bands are listed as
1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 20(800), 38(2600), 40(2300), 41(2500)
However, it is supposed to launched in Mexico and Colombia as well.
Mexico LTE Bands - 2 & 4.
Colombia LTE Bands - 4 & 7
Band 2 and 4 will be very helpful for us US peeps.
Not sure how Xiaomi locks the bands, do they use software? in which QPST should be able to unlock the bands.
or
They lock them via hardware, in which case Poco F1 will have a different model from Mexico and Colombia (and other countries which use Band 2 and Band 4?
QPST
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note/general/unlock-lte-bands-step-step-xiaomi-mi-t3084774
If anyone with a bootloader unlocked and rooted Poco F1 is willing to try QPST and see if the bands can be enabled please post here.
Thanks.
Also following for the answer. Bands 2 and 4 would make it quite viable for T-Mobile service in the US.
Phone has indeed been announced for Colombia (where LTE band 4 is used) and it's already going through Colombia's own certification authority. I would assume that we might be facing a similar situation as with Mi A1 in that the manual said it didn't support LTE band 4 (check the post I just linked to) but on first setup if you chose "Español (Mexico)" as the language, it would enable LTE band 4.
its sad that this phone with the flagship qualcomm sd845 should handle universal lte bands, but somehow in xiaomi phones specially the LTE bands are pretty limited, for example here we use band 28 (700 mhz) and there are no support for that

Hadn't heard about this, with the Mi A1. Very nice fudge, this. If the F1 can be wangled to use band 4 it will be a shot in the arm for north American interest and development

Change The región to Colombia or México. And try again.
Just like mi A1.
It'd be great if someone could try band 12. The lack of that band is a deal-breaker for T-Mobile in the US on my Mi A1.
Nobody has been able to enable band 12 on phones that don't officially ship with it. This has been the case on the OnePlus One, Mi A1, Mi A2, and more. You can "enable" it in QPST, but it doesn't work.
So, this phone is a no-go for AT&T LTE in the US? Might have to return it if it only supports band 5... shame, I really like the idea of it! Maybe there's a way to enable more bands, but from the other poster, it doesn't really look like it.
whats odd is they disable face ir for other regions

which app is that buddy?
I have been testing and also read on official telegram group that carrier aggregation (4G+ or LTE-A) is not enabled in Europe.
Will there be any fix for it on future updates? Phone is listed as CAT16 but its working as a CAT4.
Any idea? Was Poco community manager on forum? Would be nice to know if Pocophone will be CAT16 in Europe or just CAT4.

With *#*#4636#*#* you can see connected cells, or some apps for cell monitoring, it doesn't use never more than one band (EARFCN is the frequency of band used). Could maybe be a CAT5, that it's like CAT4 but supporting MIMO 4x4, but the most standard is CAT4. CAT6+ are all LTE-A with carrier aggregation, what Poco doesn't support in Europe bands. (some info in http://main.rfassurance.com/?q=LTEUeCategory )
Also I work on mobile network engineering, so I have some info from network, but it can be easyly checked from phone, no network aggregation = no 4g+ or LTE-A
my problem was solved by a call with three austria service line.
in fact they didn't get band 20 frequency by auction, only 1800 and 900 for volte calls only.
https://www.rtr.at/de/tk/FRQshare
so, I'd have to change my provider (telekom or t-mobile or a sub) to get band 20.

so, I'd have to change my provider (telekom or t-mobile or a sub) to get band 20.

It's not related to the lack of carrier aggregation for Pocophone in Europe. My provider uses bands, 3, 7 and 20, in a cell with the three bands and that allows carrier aggregation between all them in any order, doesn't work at all while works with another phones.
Btw, installed new MIUI10 open beta, and problem is still there.
@ PocoCommunityManager are you there? Any info?

There is not 4G+ for Poco in Europe like on most xiaomi phone, stop to ask.
I don't think asking is a problem, Pocophone lists the phone as 4g+ in Europe (example: https://www.poco.net/es/specs/ or https://www.mi.com/es/pocophone-f1/specs/ ), so we ask for it.
SD845 allows it, probably it's a fw thing, not hw.

I mean, there is 4g+ but only in special conditions, very rare: it's as if it were not there.
Any chance someone from Poco team could answer this? Other phones using perfectly 4g+ and Pocophone fake CAT16 doesn't at all?
My internet is slower on pocophone than in my last phone, Xiaomi mi a2. And both have band 20, then i thing that is a rom problem.
I think more band combinations are available with MiUi 10 because after the update it's showing me 4G+ on a network.
I'm also having the same problem in Europe. It just wouldn't connect to 4G+, not like on other phones. My operator supports 3+20 and 3+7+20 band carrier aggregation. LTE Discovery app shows that the phone is always connected to band 3 only.
Up !
I wrote about this problem in the main pocophone forum and to be honest there is no real official reply. Some people wrote that CA is disabled due to pocophone not buying proper licences from Qualcomm.
It's difficult to say how accurate this explanation is. One thing is definite, they advertise pocophone as LTE cat.16 capable and at the same time they disable this feature completely and limit capabilities to LTE cat.4 (not even cat.6 ....). This is not what you call honest marketing. More like lying about you product capabilities. I think CA happens but only in India or in some extremely rare cases in some other countries, especially if certain phone companies offer CA on frequencies similar to indian frequencies.
No developer can activate this option? With a custom ROM or something? The sd845 supports this though!
Any update?
they are not interested as usual. flagships in Xiaomi's term: "yeah it's fast but that's all. buy it then don't ask CAUSE IT'S FAST OKAY?"
Why is this thread inactive? I live in Greece where carriers use 3 7 and 20 for 4g although poco is always connected on 3 as stated. Has anyone tried to enable 3CA using QPST?
I usually get connected to band 3 or 20.
I'm in Spain. To make sure I'm using band 20 I switch from 4g to 3g and back to 4g Enmidiately. Screenshots attached.
I was having issues with my Mk III answering and making calls, I figured I would try a new Sim. They refused saying that AT&T has a approved list of phones they will allow to be used due to the 3G going away. Has anyone heard about thid

Check the AT&T whitelist for your model, if it's listed, it's supported.
First mistake is ever using ATT, go with T-mobile, Verizon, or a reseller like Mint or straight talk.

AT&T is working fine, seamlessly for my 2 N10+'s; N975U, N975U1. Didn't have to do anything after the switch over. Your device wasn't configured for or running on 4G VoLTE and that's the issue.

Sending you a new SIM would be pointless 'cause your phone is 3G only and AT&T no longer has a 3G network.
It doesn't work well with T-Mobile either. It's using standalone 5G channel combos even though Sony disabled standalone 5G for all US bands. The end result is lots of signal drops because it has long-range NR 71 but lost the medium range LTE band 2 or 66 it needs. It takes it a few minutes to switch to LTE 71 or LTE 12.
I am on VZW and 5G works great. Only once have I seen it change to LTE and that was because of weather. It sound like the ATT person you talked to was assuming you were on a 3G phone, and there not going to give a sim card for a 3G phone. The system is going away.

I wonder if you have a defective phone...or you live in an area where the signal towers are too far away???
I realize that this phone "needs" to have NSA or NSA+SA mode turned on to receive 5G on T-Mobile. However, I have none of the signal issues or drops that you are having. Something is wrong with your device specifically.

It's as designed:
Sony Xperia 1 III (US) (XQ-BC62) | 4G/5G Bands & Combos
4G & 5G Bands, Carrier Aggregation and Dual Connectivity Combinations for Sony Xperia 1 III (US) (XQ-BC62)
cacombos.com
Sony is using the wrong long-range band for the sake of turning on the 5G indicator. It should be using LTE 66 + LTE 12.
I have a SA 5G phone for comparison and it has a far faster and more stable signal. I bring it when I hike or travel.

Thanks for the link to the att website that listed the Sony phones as not being affected by the 3G closure. I went back in and they acknowledged that the phone was OK but could not get the new Sim card to work on their tablet . I got them to call AT&T tech support and though he had trouble initially got it activated. The new Sim seems faster and so far has not stopped working. The old Sim card if I remember was from my previous phone a Experia 1 Mk II. My MK III is from Best Buy (unlocked} and not a international model.
Yes I know this phone does not work with most of AT&T 5G network. Their 4G is pretty fast and with my travel in the past I have loved their network throughout the country.

You're welcome.
I don't have a 5G model either. I deliberately got the 4G for better battery life... 4G is fast enough today.

Sorry. I replied to the wrong post. If your phone isn't in the list of phones you'll find in post #2, then they won't send a new SIM. And I don't know what model "1 III" refers to, so I can't check it.
