4G/LTE bands - LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I'm planning on buying a Le Max 2 but I need to be sure what 4G/LTE bands it supports. However, I can't find any information on this. The only information I find is on AliExpress, which is sometimes conflicting. Can anyone find a source with accurate information? I've also contacted the seller, and will update here if and when I get a reply.

Network Frequency:
FDD-LTE: B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/20/25/26
TDD-LTE:38/39/40/41
WCDMA: B1/2/5/8; TD-SCDMA: B34/39; EVDO: BC0/BC1
GSM:2/3/5/8; CDMA: BC0/BC1
Basically there is dual sim(nano) capability, but only 1sim can use 4Gnetwork or 3G network at a time. You cannot use 2sim cards for 4G or 3G networks together.

Hi jana999!
I asked a seller and this is the reply I got:
Networking:
2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA: B1/2/5/8; TD-SCDMA: B34/39; EVDO: BC0/BC1
4G: FDD-LTE:B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/20/25/26
TD-LTE B38/B39/B40/B41
Seems like we got the same answer. I'm confident now that this phone will work for me.

I'm totally confused now. A Youtuber confirmed earlier suspicion about the phone not supporting band 20. I asked in the comments of following review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2gl8agphnU
It's support 4G FDD-LTE: Band 1(2100), 3(1800) 7(2600) - 4G TDD-LTE: Band 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500)

Yeah, but the review was for the Le LeEco 2 not for the LeEco Max 2. And the thing is- LeEco 2 has MTK chip, not Qualcomm Snapdragon as LeEco Max 2. So I think that is why it does not support the bands... I may be wrong though.

I would certainly not rely on youtube info. The site willmyphonework.net/ seems reliable and it shows Band 20 for my country. Try your country (or any)in there

Hi, I bought Le Max 2 (4G+32G) from China LeMall and used in Canada Rogers Network. however, it only shows 3G or H+ not LTE or 4G. From willmyphonework, Le Max2 totally support Rogers's LET band. If I choose APN "Rogers LTE", there is no signal at all, APN "Rogers" only come to 3G or H+. My other phones (oneplue, Iphone or Samsung) all have LTE connection. Is there anything I missed? Thanks.

I'm on Rogers too. Found solution. You need to create a new LTE APN:
Name:Rogers LTE
APN: ltemobile.apn
proxy: not set
port: not set
username: wapuser1
password: wap
server: not set
MMSC:?*http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
MMS proxy: 10.128.1.69
MMS port: 80
MMC:302
MNC: 720
Authentication type: not set
APN type: default,supl,mms
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
Bearer: unspecified
MVNO type: none.
Addition of username and password solves the problem. Strange thing is that its a EUI problem. No need for username and password on CM13.

Le max i bought mine from uushop to germany has Band 20 can confirm it as it says on the package too.

Just wanna ask some opinion or advise from the expert here.
I'm on stock 15s rom, but i frequent encounter total signal lose (include phone) when my phone turn to 4G+ signal (CA_3A_7A)
But the phone is ok when in 4G (Band 3 or 7)
1) Is there anyway to check which CA band are enable in phone?
2) Or it limited by my SIM card or APN setting (I'm using my old SIM which was 2 years ago suport LTE)

Have you tried " ltemobile.apn ". By the way, are you still using this phone? I plan to buy it if it works with Rogers LTE. Thanks.

Wait so this phone will support 4G Band 12 (T-Mobile) support? OMG, that is insane then. This thing is a beast for under $200.

[Q] 2g 3g 4g Speeds in the US with European SGS2

Hi folks
I just moved to the US (about a week ago) and was wondering why my mobile internet connection is so slow.
I have a SGS2 factory unlocked and i was fine with it in Germany (no problems with 2g or 3g speed)
Now I'm in the US with a t-mobile prepaid card which should give me 3g speeds , if not 3g at least EDGE Speed. But the only thing i get is the E-sign with 2 arrows which is friggin slow.
As far as i know t-mobile's 2g & 3g frequencies should be the same as in Europe.
So my question: Is my phone the problem or is it just that the 2g/3g coverage in San Diego is so bad ?
thx in advance
its normal...coz sgs2 does not support t-mobile 3g bands....but it does support at&t 3g bands....i am also using t-mobile prepaid plan...and dont use data that much...coz everywhere i go i have wifi....
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
ah ok thx for the reply
do you happen to know if an factory unlocked iphone (without sim lock bought directly from apple) will be able to use the US-3g bands as well as the European ones ?
as far as i know....it will be same as sgs2....only supports at&t 3g bands.....no t-mobile.....
Ok thx man.. Guess I gotta ask them directly then

Asking who directly? T-Mobile USA? You can ask, won't change the answer. If you want 3/4g in the US with either a European Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) or an unlocked iPhone, you will need to be on AT&T.
T-Mobile doesn't use the frequencies that those two phones support.

E-sign = EDGE.
So if i buy me i9100 s2 and i put at&t sim card, i live in texas USA will i get at least 3g signals?

USA uses different bands from the rest of the world because, well, idk
North America:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
CDMA: Band Class: 0/1/10
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/19
LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41
Rest of World:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8
LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20
This might be the case here, i don't think its carriers fault but idk really.

USA Bands For T-Mobile & Warranty Question

Hello there,
I saw a z5 compact listing on ebay with these specs:
4G FDD-LTE B1(2100), B2(1900), B3(1800), B4(1700/2100), B5(850), B7(2600), B8(900), B12(700), B17(700), B20(800), B28(700), B38(2600), B40(2300)
3G W-CDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz
2G GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
The phone is a pre order from Japan. My question is will this work here in the US with T-mobile 4g lte? Or should we wait for the US release?
Also, if we order this (from USA) will Sony give us warranty given it was ordered from Ebay and from Japan?
Thanks!
It should support every T-Mobile LTE band in the US, with the only question on that front being if the Z5 series has VoLTE support for where T-Mo has Band 12-only coverage.
You'll also note that this phone also dropped 3G/HSPA+ support on 1700MHz, but I'm not too concerned actually since T-Mo has been refarming all their AWS/1700 band spectrum over to LTE anyway. Where I'm at in Chicago they've already converted AWS HSPA to LTE and there's only HSPA+ service on 1900 band. What part of the US are you in?
I just received my Xperia Z5 Compact E5823 (Customized Taiwan Firmware Model) and set it up on T-Mobile USA (Los Angeles Area). The 4G LTE works as well as previous Xperia Zs (I've had Z3c and Z1c) but the only thing I noticed is that it doesn't explicitly show the LTE symbol (it will say 4G instead). However, I'm hitting nearly 60Mbps download and 15Mbps upload.
Regarding Band 12 (700Mhz), I have actually seen the phone drop into that mode when I'm in known dead zones, elevators or underground parking garages. In the couple of cases when I knew I was in Band 12, I was able to send receive SMS messages. I don't think I was able to receive data though so I'm not sure if there's full support for this phone yet on Band 12. At least we know they haven't disabled it completely.
I'll do more tests this week and see if I can get more data on this.
Here's the APN settings I was using. I setup these 3 APNs based on what I saw when I plugged my SIM into my wife's Nexus 5X. Anything not listed means just use their defaults:
T-Mobile US 260
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
APN type: default,supl
APN Protocol: IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
T-Mobile US 260 IMS
APN: ims
APN type: ims
APN Protocol: IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv6
T-Mobile MMS
APN: TMUS
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
APN type: mms
APN Protocol: IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
the 4G indication is the same as LTE here in the states and other European countries. If you flash the new 32.0.A.5.32 Customized CE1 firmware you will see that the indicator now shows LTE when connected with LTE service.

Not the OP, and I'm certain its someplace on this forum, but being new to Android and whatnot, how do you go about flashing, and where do you find the customized firmware? What's the difference between flashing and rooting, and is it dangerous to flash (will I break anything), or is it pretty straightforward?
Thanks!

I'm not an expert, and this is my first Xperia device. But, it seems that the xperia series, and sony, is very inviting to having users/developers flash their own firmwares. From what I hear, it would be very difficult to brick your device. If you are just looking to flash stock firmwares that sony releases then you don't have to root your device. You will only have to root your device if you want to start flashing custom firmware. You should visit here to read more about how to flash stock firmware: http://www.flashtool.net/
Ok, thank you very much. So if, like the OP, I wanted to see LTE instead of 4G on my phone, I would have to probably root the phone first then apply a customized firmware (32.0.A.5.32 Customized CE1), correct?

no, you don't have to root your phone at all... you don't even have to reset it, you just have to apply that version of the firmware using the flashtool app. This is a sony firmware, not a custom firmware.
Oh, I see. Thank you!
I'm using a Z5 which has the same bands as the compact. I use it in New York. It does connect to band 12 LTE and does show the LTE logo when connected. However, when a call comes in, it goes back down to another band as soon as the call is about to come in. There is an VoLTE on/off option in the settings but this doesn't seem to do anything to the operability on T-Mobile US.
Sorry, this is a little confusing. Are you guys using LTE discovery to confirm band 12? Also are you saying volte doesn't work at all?

Yes, I was using LTE discovery to confirm band 12 connection. It definitely works well for data but VoLTE doesn't work since the phone hasn't been verified by T-Mobile USA yet. As of now, there are now Z5 plans for the US so it's hard to say if they'll ever do it...or if T-Mobile will relax their requirements.
Hmmm. I thought the certification was for band 12, not volte??? I.e, the Nexus phones currently have volte but do NOT have band 12 yet. If you look at extended range LTE on T-Mobile site, this also kind of confirms that meaning they talk about certifying for band 12. Moreover there is not really anything T-Mobile can do to change what the phone can do in either regard. It is up to the OS to control those.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
I can 100% confirm there is no HD Voice or VoLTE and I'm on 32.0.A.6.200. Pretty big bummer if you ask me. Not sure on Band 12 yet as it is not where I am now but highly doubt it works.
I can also confirm Band 12 working.

AT&T Straight Talk 4G LTE on Unlocked Sprint Note Edge sm-n915p

I am getting amazing 4G LTE from ATT towers GSM through straight talk on my Sprint note edge. I did not enable any new bands with qxdm, mainly because it wouldn't let me and I couldn't figure out why lol. So playing around with my settings all the time, I stumbled upon LTE and I want to share it with you guys.
OK first thing I did was go buy a straight talk phone, not the Sim pack, the zte716bl because it was the cheapest that had 4glte and a Sim card. I activated the phone with the 60 dollar plan that has 10 gigs. I took the Sim card from the phone and placed it in my Sprint note edge. I used the app from Idoneapps.com to unlock the edge. I then toggled the gcf setting. Then dial ##data#, put in your msl, turn on the EHRPD, goto More, HRD/1X, select hybrid modemode at top Let phone reboot. Then back to ##data#, and select LTE and enable it. APN settings select automatic, and use the original Straight talk apn tfdata.
I connect to sprints band 25, and use it somehow with the att straight talk Sim card. I live in North Georgia as well, may not work elsewhere.
Hello
Thank you for share this information. I have some questions
1st. What is the exact LTE band (Frequency) that use AT&T Straight Talk?
2nd. Do you know with what LTE bands works this exact model (sm-n915p)?
in the samsung official site says the bands are there: 4G FDD LTE: B25(1900), B26(850); 4G TDD LTE: B41(2500) but in some places say it is also capable with LTE band 4 (1700/2100 mhz) and band 3 (1800 mhz)
As it is a mainly CDMA phone not always the GSM specs are 100% clear, for this reason is important, helpful and grateful a work as you have done
here is the samsung site for more info:

I'm using this N915P in India with Jio Sim which is 4G LTE only carrier service provider and about to go commercial with public in weeks. it works on other 4G phones but not on this....

Noob question: Note 3 Pro and Koodo(Canada) bands

Hi, the Note 3 Pro is stating the following frequencies for LTE 1800/2100/2600MHz and according to Google, Koodo is 1700/2100 MHz (AWS). Only 1 of the frequency matches, does that mean that the signal reception will be bad or not working at all? Is there a way to fix this?
Thank you!
The Note 3 Pro works perfectly fine on Koodo. I didn't have to config anything with the APN and such, just popped my sim card in slot 1. Haven't had any issues.
IT may work as you say, your more than likely speaking of 3G. . . What about 4G LTE ?
I know that Fido/Rogers are not using the same frequencies so it's not exactly an answer to your question but with Fido I got strong LTE signal everywhere I went so far.

There are three versions, the one you found, there is one with band 4 (1700), and Kate special edition with band 4 and a bunch of others.
You need the one with band 4 or Kate or Lte will be really spotty and won't work indoors at all.
I have the the one with band 4 and LTE works really well with Bell. All big 3 carriers use band 4 (1700) Lte.

What is Le Max 2's LTE A category?

Anandtech mentions it is LTE-A Category 12 (600 Mbps)
Some sites mention it is Category 6 (300 Mbps)
So what is it exactly?
With the new Non-HLOS.bin shipped with 17 S, there ist no cat 6 LTE , only 150 Mbit cat 4. The + sign at 4G sign doesnt appear
So should I go back to Indian 16S ? I am aware Indian 17S or 18S is on the verge of getting officially released. I prefer the Chinese 17S because battery is absolutely brilliant after removing the bloat. Indian 16S has horrible battery and standby time.
How to check the LTE-A ? I'm on CN 16s, in Malaysia (CA Band_3_7).
Whenever my phone show 4G+, then phone signal will drop for total no signal, can't call or data (Searching mode)

If you get a chance please post your modem version. Thanks.
Snapdragon 820 has X12 modem (category 12 LTE up to 600 Mbps). I have had 4G+ for ages (in Japan on OCN Mobile One, an MNVO on the docomo network). However, as it is an oversubscribed MNVO my speeds are never great and even when getting a CA (4G+) signal they don't really change. My current firmware baseband version is as per this screenshot:

Unfortunately even on the same base chipset some of the radio params are up to the OEM, depending on what band combinations LE have programmed CA may work with some networks and not with others (eg OCN might be using 20Mhz x2 in 800Mhz while ThreeUK might be using 1x 15Mhz on 1800Mhz and 1x 15Mhz in 800Mhz).

Yes, obviously availability of CA depends on carriers and on the LTE bands available to the device. Not all bands are turned on for our device so some people some places are going to be SOL. In the case of OCN the carrier aggregation is probably working with bands 1 & 3 I guess (the other bands OCN use are 19 & 21, which are not available on the LeMax 2).

Ok so far then:
272-05 Three Ireland B3, B20, B8 Not Working
272-01 Vodafone Ireland B3, B20, B8 Not Working
440-10 OCN Japan (NTT) B1, B3, B19, B21 Working
Probably should just google what bands CN Mobile use for CA, that'll be the only thing LeEco will bother to implement in the baseband.

CA is strange. My friend has a Moto Z Play he bought direct from Motorola Japan. He is using OCN, same as me. His Z Play has the same available OCN LTE bands as my LeMax 2 (B1 & B3) and Motorola say it is CA compatible, but while I get 4G+, he doesn't. And another friend has a Japanese version ASUS Zenfone 3 and he gets 4G+ on another MNVO using same docomo network with B1 & B3. So it seems to be a bit of a lottery depending on your device & your region & carrier.

Compatibility isnt straightforward as its also dependent on resource blocks or RBs. Some radios can handle CA 2x 2x20Mhz and some might only manage 2x 2x10Mhz. Thats why reading the RRC messages between tower and handset is useful as OEMs dont release the full config that their UEs broadcast.
Snapdragon 820 aggregates 3 frequencies (3CC). I never managed to force him to do it, but 2 can (2ca).
