I have an ATT lg optimus G, but I use T-mobile service, my phone is unlocked , so I can call and text use t-mobile service, but the thing is I can not use date 4g because t-mobile use 1700 mhz and att use 1900 mhz, so I flash t-moblile radio from note 2 and galaxy s 3 , skyrocket, but nothing help, but I know that lg optimus G it has a 1700 mhz, but it's not enable, and now, I flash the original rom of lg optimus g, but the radio is not work, any one have the t-mobile radio or orginal att radio, so that I can flash it to use 4g ? please help,
Perhaps it would be good to wait for T-mo LTE.... should be soon depending on where you are.

can do a speed test? are you even getting 3g?
no, I just get 2g, but the convert to nexus 4 work well, just like I am using nexus 4, lg optimus g and nexus 4 are brother, why the 1700mhz can not be activate even when I convert to n4?
t-mo does not even use 1700 on their Nexus4.
http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Phones/cell-phone-detail.aspx?cell-phone=Nexus-4
Go to specs tab and read the bands.
band 4 aws is 1700mhz
lg OG have 4g lte on band 4 but tmobile use band 4 but doesn't have lte
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Wireless_Services
is there a hidden menu we can use to enable those bands? i currently have the n4 and i can get into with *#*#4636#*#*
can you guys with the og use that code?

You know, I have tried this code before on here and it didn't work (which is funny because I thought it was deep in android).
After you type the last * the code vanishes from the dialer like it is going to run, but nothing comes up. I can get into some of the other dialer secret menus though, for instance, I was able to get into the network lock menu using 2945#*970#.
since I convert OG to nexus 4, I can use *#*#4636#*#*, but when I change the prefer network to lte, it comes up with no signal,

Well the N4 doesn't have LTE... so yeah, that makes sense.
It is even stated in the conversion post the LTE doesn't work.
The hardware may be there but your new MakOG doesn't know that.
Does anyone know if the radio in the Optimus G E970 is identical to the one in the Nexus 4? If it is, then the Nexus 4 conversion would make the device compatible with T-Mobile's AWS bands for 3G.

someone tried and confirmed that didn't work, i guess someone need to figure how to enable the lte radio and use it for HSPA+

Hey. Just got a Verizon LG G3 off my friend. I cracked the screen of my s4 and my girlfriend used my upgrade to get the iphone 6 so i couldn't upgrade myself. When i was using my galaxy s4 i had LTE speeds everywhere i go.
I googled the apn settings for At&t and put them into the G3 i have. It is working with HSPA+ But not LTE. I put my same sim card into my mom's at&t galaxy s5 and LTE pops back up. So LTE is clearly working in my area. But the g3 isn't picking it up, Am i doing something wrong? I've done research before i bought the phone and it people said Verizon LG G3 does support the LTE bands At&t uses. So am i doing something wrong???

Only supports ONE band that ATT uses. Which is band 4. Which is the backbone of ATT and Tmobiles LTE. So it should be able to connect to it. Do you live in a major city?

Tried that too. Still getting hspa+. Downloaded the speedtest app and speed never goes over 1mbps. I pop my sim in my moms phone and gets over 18mbps. I don't get it.,
Hey buddy, have you try to unlock other bands? I'm not sure about band 4 (since I was not looking for band 4) but there are some bands that can be use. You may want to Follow this threat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/unlocked-lte-bands-vs985-t2909150
It worked for me for band 3 and 7, I hope it work for you too
Just asking, the phone is on stock LG Android, right?

ATT uses band 4 and 17. Band 4 is the only one supported. From what I have read 3 is more for Europe.

Yeah I know, but I was trying to explain the reason about why I was not sure if band 4 was available to unlock.
I live in Costa Rica but I bought an Lg G3 Verizon phone from eBay that happens to work in here as well, the band 3 is the one my carrier uses, so I was only interested in unlock that one.
I took an screenshot of the available bands to unlock by following the link I posted.
P.S: sorry if it wasn't clear, English is not my native language ?
I have a Verizon LG G3 on Cricket Wireless (which is owned and operated by AT&T) and I get LTE on mine everywhere I go. The reason is because I have the 10b modem installed. ANY modem after 12b disables LTE on other networks except for Verizon. You need to totally restore your phone to stock (including 10b radio). There is a thread here on XDA somewhere that tells you step by step how to restore your G3 to stock and 10b radio.
Rooting and installing a custom recovery, then installing 10b modem will not work at this point. I tried that. It WOULD NOT let me use 10b radio until I completely returned to stock. Then of course I rooted and installed custom recovery.
I also have to use Cyanogenmod or another AOSP ROM because stock roms have the newer radios and disable my LTE.
Hope this helps!
Hello all,
I am having some difficulties getting my LG-H830 working on Verizon. The phone is carrier unlocked, stock rooted and BL unlocked. I've gone through the hidden menu and when I set LTE band to 2 or 4, it says SUCCESS. I've activated the SIM on another phone before moving over to the G5 and it shows up on my account.
I get bars but no LTE symbol, so I can't make calls via VoLTE (voice over LTE) and I don't have data. When I had it working on T-Mobile, there was an LTE symbol so I know it has LTE modem. I'm wondering if I need to modify build.prop to work on bands 2,4?
FYI on the lockscreen top left it says searching. A bit odd since I have four bars.
Any ideas? Appreciate any feedback!
I'm out of a phone until its working.
EDIT/UPDATE:
I'm trying to find the proper build.prop settings to get LTE working. Currently I am looking at my VZW LG G3 build.prop, however I've yet to change any settings that gets the LTE icon showing up. I've replaced the apns-conf.xml file from the G3 in order to have the proper APN configuration.
Things I'm trying (for the most part):
ro.build.target_operator=TMO (as VZW I do not get any service, with TMO it says Verizon Wireless and I get bars, but no LTE)
ro.telephony.default_network=10 (was 9)
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=1 (was commented out)
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=311480 (didn't exist)
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Verizon (didn't exist)
gsm.sim.operator.alpha=Verizon (didn't exist)
gsm.sim.operator.numeric=311480 (didn't exist)
gsm.operator.alpha=Verizon (didn't exist)
gsm.operator.numeric=311480 (didn't exist)
persist.radio.volte.dan_support=true (didn't exist)
ro.afwdata.LGfeatureset=VZWBASE (was TMUSBASE)
persist.lg.data.fd=0 (was -1)
ro.com.google.clientidbase.ms=android-verizon (was android-hms-tmobile-us)
ro.com.google.clientidbase.am=android-verizon (was android-tmobile-us)
ro.com.google.clientidbase.yt=android-verizon (was android-om-lge)
I can also go into the hidden menu. Attached is what shows after selecting LTE only for the RAT.
NOTE:
Band4 confirmed in my area
A gsm phone won't work on Verizon because they are a cdma carrier you can only use it on carriers who use att or T-Mobile towers because they use gsm networks.

The LG-H830 supports LTE bands 2 and 4. It also supports VoLTE (Voice over LTE) and so does Verizon. I don't believe yet that it isn't going to work.
Have you confirmed the correct apn has been setup in settings - mobile networks? These aren't always set up automatically, and if it isn't set up right, you will have a regular phone connection but no data connection.

Copied directly from my VZW LG G3 (4G). It is actually showing the radio as connected to 4G, just no 4G icon, data or calling.
Have you checked here: verizonwireless.com/bring-your-own-device/
According to T-Mobile site, your g5 doesn't support LTE band 13, wich is verizons main band..
Edit: This is a guide for adding bands

I'm aware that it doesn't support band 13, however in my area I've confirmed that band 4 is in production. My LG G3 is currently connected to band 4.
I've seen that thread before, I should probably add band 13. I don't think that is my issue at the moment though. It could be that Verizon requires a connection to CDMA before 4G use is allowed. I'm not entirely sure. Theoretically it should work..
This one is for the g4, might be more compatible with the g5. Maybe it's possible to unlock the cdma bands aswell.
Good luck and please report if you succeed

I tried to use my T-Mobile LG g5 on Sprint and it wouldn't work I asked both sprint and T-Mobile they both told me it wouldn't work because the network's were different. I would love to get band 17 working on mine so I can use that band on cricket because they have a cheap truly unlimited plan but I don't think it's possible is the only band the T-Mobile LG g5 doesn't have that att uses but if you or someone figures out how to do it would love to know about it!

band 17 is a "subset" of band 12. afaik.. the at&t g5 doesnt have B17 either.. just B12.
if you can get cricket month by month it might be worth testing it.. worst case you're out a months service price.

Yeah I'm gonna try it because I know it will work for the most part I may just not have 100% of the coverage for cricket but my parents have 4 lines on cricket so they have 1 extra line they aren't using so for the truly unlimited plan it would only be $30 for a month because the 5th line gets a $40 discount so definitely worth trying out like you said and T-Mobile has already unlocked my phone but I had to pay for one more month so I won't switch til August 3rd.

Good day! have you find the solution for this? my mother also having this problem with her LG K7 Metro PCs. Maybe the security update is the cause?
Like I said I have 2 phones with the same problem... One LG V10 and a note 5... Both unlocked and the note 5 is unlocked and rooted... But when I put my mint sim or text now sim in either of them they have signal for a sec then lose it but they work on my LG g4 ........
Any help would be great thx
For LG V10 :- Settings->More->Mobile networks->Network operators->Search networks-> then select your operator
