Anyone in U.S. getting 4G/LTE with Korean model? - LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

F600L supports LTE Bands 1 / 3 / 5 / 7 / 8 / 17. None of these matches Tmo's LTE Bands of 2 / 4 / 12 -- and I can confirm, at least in the San Jose, CA, I'm not getting any 4G from Tmo.
So did I order a brick, or is this model still salvageable in the U.S.? Anyone with luck with AT&T 4G, which overlaps bands 5 / 17 on the phone?

Try this code 5457#*600#
And ensure you check all the LTE BANDS under the option Multi Band Selection and then try it. May be it will work.

[Q] The EXACT bands of Nexus 9 LTE

I searched many times of websites on the lte bands of nexus 9 lte, but no, I've not got an exact spec of the lte bands that Nexus 9 LTE supports.
Until now I've got details of it from ht##tp://ww##w.bh##photovideo.c##om/c/product/1087410-REG/htc_99hzj002_00_nexus_9_volantis_32gb.html which the bands are
2.5G (EDGE, GSM/GPRS) MHz:850, 900, 1800, 1900
3.5G (HSPA+, UMTS/WCDMA) MHz:850, 900, 1700, 1900, 2100
3.5G (CDMA2000, EV-DO) MHz:850, 1900
4G (LTE) Bands:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 19, 25, 26, 41

Now I'm sure whether this is right, are they the exact bands of Nexus 9 LTE?
I've got a Nexus 9 LTE from US to China, all three carriers have deployed either TDD-LTE or FDD-LTE, so I'm wondering whether I can use the LTE network with Nexus 9 LTE in China.
According to the specs above, it seems that it would work at TDD-LTE band 41 which China Mobile supplies, but I only got an EDGE with the 4G-SIM card inserted.
However China Unicom gives FDD-LTE band 3 network and China Telecom gives FDD-LTE band 1 network. Only lack of experiments.
The supported bands might be different depending on where the device is bought.
From the HTC site: http://www.htc.com/us/tablets/nexus-9/
Network (see note below)
2G/2.5G - GSM/GPRS/EDGE:
850/900/1800/1900 MHz
3G - WCDMA:
850/900/AWS/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps
4G - LTE:
Bands 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,20
NOTE: Network bands in regions may be different, depending on the mobile operator and your location. 4G LTE only available in select countries. Upload and download speeds also depend on the mobile operator.
Built-in memory and connectivity vary by model. Wi-Fi only Nexus 9 features 16GB memory, and LTE Nexus 9 model features 32GB. Please see your local carrier for complete details.
data point for you: i have t-mobile spec nexus 9 bought in us. in hong kong a csl sim shows lte data status. speedtest showed 20mbit up and 20mbit down so i think its working fine. csl web site said bands 3 and 7 iirc.
csl web site: https://www.hkcsl.com/en/index.html
I actually clicked more than one website to bring you this info.

Looks like it's back in stock at store.htc.com for $359 for the LTE.
http://store.htc.com/store?Action=C...104_G - US - NAM - HTC - PS - Tablet - B&Ps=1
So from my Internet searching, here are the differences between the Nexus 9 LTE International vs. the USA device.
Nexus 9 Part# 0P82200 (EU/ASIA) handles LTE bands 1,2,3 ,4,5,7,8, 20
Nexus 9 Part# 0P82300 (US) handlesLTE bands 2, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 41
What does this mean to us in the USA?
It means that if you buy the USA Nexus 9 then you're good to go for all USA major carriers.
But if you buy the International Nexus 9, then you're hurting yourself as follows:
Verizon missing band 13 (which it uses for most of its LTE).
AT&T missing band 17.
T-Mobile missing band 12.
Sprint missing all LTE bands.
US Cellular missing band 12.
Here is a list of what USA carriers use which bands:
http://www.droid-life.com/2015/02/0...sm-cdma-wcdma-lte-verizon-att-sprint-tmobile/
Oddly enough, the HTC USA website indicates that the Nexus 9 LTE it sells is capable of only the International bands listed above.
So I called HTC @ 866 449 8358 on 12/26/2015 @ 12:30PM CST and spoke with "Daniel" who advised that if I'm in the USA and purchase from the USA HTC website, then I will be shipped the USA version of this tablet.

[Q] H+/LTE not working

Hi fellows,
I have SM G-900T and I have an internet problem.
I can`t use my internet(data mobile) at all. This version being from USA, I use it in Europe(Romania).
Look at screenshot: http://sharemobile.ro/data/share/11008972_1620338411532587_716306529_n.jpg
Is any method to use at least H+? Please help me.
Thanks.
In Romania, only LTE Bands 3 (1800),7 (2600), and 20 (800) are supported.
Orange (LTE Band 3 and Band 7), Vodafone (LTE Band 3 and Band 20), and Telekom (LTE Band 3) all support Band 3, but may not have it in use in your area.
The 900T does support Band 3 and Band 7 in your region. So if your carrier is using 20, you are out of luck.
As for H+, only UMTS (WCDMA) Band 1 (2100) is supported by the 900T.
All the carries in Romania use UMTS (WCDMA) Band 1 (2100).
All but one (Telekom), also use Band 8 (900) as well, which is not supported by the 900T.

I`m using Orange. So it should work, right?
The question is, why is not working? Not even H+...

See my revised post.
It's possible you're in a region that is using one of the unsupported bands.
Band 8 (900) is preferred as it has better building penetration then Band 1 (2100).
Unfortunately if they are using Band 8, you will not be able to connect.
Also, did you verify you're using a good APN?
I don't speak the language, so I cannot find what APN Orange requires.
Thank you. Was from the apn. It works only 3G but is better.
3G is better than EDGE.

Nexus 9 LTE version - does LTE band 20 (or 8) actually work?

According to the HTC websites the supported LTE bands of Nexus 9 LTE version are: Bands 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,20
But when testing where only band 20 is available (using the Telia operator in Sweden) it only gets 3G. If I try the same SIM-card in my Galaxy S4 i9505 I get full signal strength of LTE/4G on band 20 (verified using the service menu).
I also tried the Tele2 operator which actually showed LTE service, but from using it in my S4 again it seems that band 7 was the strongest band in that place. When I tried Tele2 in another place which should have LTE coverage on at least band 8 and possibly band 20 it again showed 3G... (I didn't try it in the S4 as I didn't bring all the tools and adapters to use the annoying NanoSIM standard).
So does band 8 and band 20 actually work on Nexus 9? Otherwise it's going back to the shop because the lacking 4G support is not acceptable.

Is my H901 truly unlocked?

I got the H901 T-mobile locked off ebay about two years ago. I moved to India recently for work and will stay for a year. As a tmo customer i was able to permanently unlock it using the app it came with before i left the US. I bought a local sim card (Reliance Jio 4G) which uses 4G only (voLTE for calls and data). I checked the frequency bands before getting this sim and it supported 2 of the 3 bands. My problem is that it wont take to the network? (If there is a similar thread please link me to it).
Jio LTE Bands -
FD-LTE B3 (1800 +) (Supported by v10)
FD-LTE B5 (850) (Supported by v10)
TD-LTE B40 (TD 2300) (Unsupported)
I think T-mobile mostly used the 2100 band for LTE in the US. Does this mean that my phone is not taking to the 1800/850 bands or is the cell phone provided not broadcasting over them and just using the 2300 band which is unsupported by my phone?
1) Found the service code *#546368#*901# played around with the bands. (Bands 2, 3, 5 and 20 were a success on this network even though only bands 5 & 3 are supported that was weird) - No luck getting 4G
2) Then forced Band 5 & 3 cause those are my only true options and did rat selection as LTE only. - No luck getting 4G
3) Kept above settings same and went to APN. Saw missing APN and googled the settings. - Success! 4G but no text/calls active.
Trying to figure out how i can get voLTE on this now.
I found a work around with an apk from the service provider that handles calls and texts using LTE. But still cannot text or call using v10's voLTE feature. If anyone knows why i'd like to know. Otherwise, this thread can be closed.

T-Mobile LG V60 ThinQ 5G on Verizon

Hi!
Will an unlocked T-Mobile LG V60 ThinQ 5G work on the Verizon network?
No.... Verizon uses CDMA... Tmobile uses GSM. Completely different system.
Sorry.
Sent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk
I was using a oneplus 7 pro on t-mobile and recently switched to Verizon with that same phone and it works perfectly on Verizon network.
Case in point.
I will research further. There are devices that can operate on both GSM and CDMA.
In regards to*5G, the T-Mobile and AT&T*LG V60 ThinQ*models support Sub6 (low-band) and mid-band*(Sprint is currently using it) networks. The Verizon model supports the faster, shorter range mmWave*5G*(high-band) technology, but not these other*bands*so it is not as universal.
So no mmwave radio on the T-Mobile version V60.
Supported bands according to the Internet
GSM / CDMA / HSPA / EVDO / LTE / 5G3G*bandsHSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700(AWS) / 1900 / 2100CDMA2000 1xEV-DO4G*bands2, 4, 5, 12, 25, 26, 41, 46, 48, 66, 71 - USA5G*bands2, 25, 41, 66, 71 SA/NSA/Sub6
If it actually has CDMA bands then it may work in some areas but no 5G.
In the past different carriers had different versions of each phone model GSM or CDMA
Not usually both.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info.
I am not concern about having 5G. It's not on my plan and I won't be getting it. 5G is still in its early stages, so not jumping in til next year or two.
That aside, it looks like the T-Mobile model has the bands for 4G LTe on Verizon.
I can't find the Verizon V60 anywhere, hence why I am force to go with the T-Mobile variant.
It will work, but no 5g.
