Is there anywhere on here or elsewhere that the 3G and LTE bands for all V30 variants are listed accurately? I've searched and can't find a definitive list and even LG's site doesn't appear to list this info. I'm particularly interested in the H930.
I did find this site https://www.techwalls.com/lg-v30-model-number-differences/ Can anyone confirm it's accurate?

LG website list the bands for each model. For the H930 the bands LG says it has, it has. Are you asking does it have additional bands LG does not list?
That's where people mess, hoping for additional bands not listed. Like LTE band 4 on the H930DS...

No, just looking for the bands that model is compatible with. I couldn't find that info on the LG website. Have you got a link?

That's very strange. They list it for the US998 and other North America variants, but on my phone I can't find it for the H930 on LG website. I'll look more later.

In the same place, I also list the H930 bands -- but I'm not sure the source:
2G GSM: 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G (HSPA): 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G LTE: 1/2/3/4/5/8/12/17/20/28/38
However, I'm fairly certain it's correct. Are you look for some bands on the H930 in particular?
It is very strange the identical section on LG's website on the H930 does not list the bands. I thought they would.

note: i know there is another thread on this, but it does not answer my question!
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.
the question is:
the 3g bands for the atrix are: "HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100"
the 3g bands in india are: "900 / 1800"

Atrix does not work with BSNL voice plan
I recently brought an ATT unlocked Atrix and it does not work with BSNL/Vodafone network in india for the voice and Data.
Im surprised that Voice plan does not work....Any idea...
I tried factory reset and restart the cell often.....
Thanks

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.

Hello,
The title says it all really. Wondering if the Amaze would work here on T-Mobile Austria which uses UMTS 2100. I read somewhere else that it relies on 1700 and 2100 for upload/download. Don't much about how this works.... or can the phone do both on the 2100 band? I sort of prefer it to a normal Sensation available here because it has NFC. Not that it has much use as of now....
EDIT: on Wiki it appears that T-Mobile Austria uses 1900 for upload and 2100 for download so I guess it wouldn't work.

I live in italy and I'm not sure it's working in europe. Generally t-mobile's phones works in italy, but I want to be sure before I buy

Those are three bands listed on my box. Shows 1900 so I'm guessing it would work.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA App
You will be able to use the HTC Amaze to place calls pretty much anywhere in the world since it's quad-band.
For 3G however, the box indicates only UMTS bands AWS & 2100. So you just have to check if your carrier uses one of those bands for 3G (you can look at this page for example). As you can see, the phone will work in 3G pretty much everywhere in Europe.
Some carriers however use UMTS bands 2100 and 900. The 900 Mhz frequency has a wider coverage area and is quite cheap to set up since the carriers can use existing GSM antennas (with some modification of course). If your carrier is listed as using "900/2100", it basically means you'll only have 3G in densely populated areas (where UMTS 2100 is used) but not in remote areas (where UMTS 900 is used). Both frequencies' coverage maps should be available on your carrier's website.
Lawk and Metallaro: 900 Mhz doesn't seem to be in use in Austria nor in Italy, so you should have full 3G coverage with the HTC Amaze (unless Wikipedia is wrong of course).
Ok, thanks to all
I've been searching high and low for a phone that will work on both T-mobile and AT&T. The Galaxy Nexus was going to be my choice, but it has way too many problems (screen being the biggest issue).
I found this version of the Razr Maxx which says that it has bands for both AT&T and T-Mobile. My question to you guys is this: If I buy this phone, will I be able to use it and get full 3G (HSPA+) speeds on either carrier?
http://www.clove.co.uk/motorola-razr-maxx
Thanks!
After doing some more research, it seems that the phone has to have 1700/2100 bands in order to work on T-Mobile.
The phone has 2100 band. Does this mean that T-Mobile 3G HSPA will work only when the area has that band, or not at all?
That model runs on :
GSM/GPRS Yes

Frequencies850/900/1800/1900 MHz
and/or
3G/HSPA Yes
Frequencies2100/1900/900/850 Mhz
So YES, that model WILL WORK on ATT/TMO. Both companies have roaming agreements with each other and other companies which would allow your device to work if and when you are within a coverage area. NOT ALL features may work in certain areas AND data may be a certain speed in 1 area and in another it may be MUCH MUCH SLOWER due to the fact that it is using your 2G/GSM bands because there is no 3G/HSPA aka HSPA+ aka 4G (aka by ATT and/or TMO). This particular model CANNOT AND WILL NOT ever get true 4G/LTE.
Hope this helps...
Thanks for the answer. After doing a lot of research, I've learned that it WILL work for AT&T 3G/"4G" speeds, and will NOT work for T-Mobile 3G/"4G" speeds.
Reason being is that even though it has the 2100 band, it doesn't have the 1700 band, which T-Mobile requires for full HSPA speed. It uses one for uplink and the other for downlink. So even though it has one of the bands, I'll never be able to get full speed 3G on it.

after many years of following this stuff, and as a user of both tmo & att services, i must say you are exactly correct! i vaguely recall reading about a pentaband phone in development that would do 3g on both services, but lost track of whether it ever came to market
edit: turns out pentaband phones exist:

While I'm certainly not an expert on frequencies/radios, it looks to me like the phone will work on any of the listed Israeli carriers in your screenshot. you mentioned that Israel only has LTE on B7, which isn't listed in the S6's specs, so I'm guessing the maximum connection you'd get would be HSPA+, and never get LTE. (Unless an Israeli carrier implements LTE700 (B17), LTE850 (B5), LTE700 (B13), LTE1700/2100 (B4), LTE1900 (B2), or LTE700 (B12))

OK, perusing the LG website there are two strange 998 models showing up that are NOT connected to any carriers. Says "for LRA" and "for ACG". But for carrier-branded models, they don't share that format -- those just have "model name | carrier name". (See screenshot$ below.)
The LRA is for US998, I assume open market for North America. The ACG is AS998, for what, Asia?
These two are listed last in the V30 models and I cannot find out what LRA or ACG means, but there's also LG G6 models with those designations -- as well as other LG phones with those designations.
I ASSUME it has something to do with the open market phones, but I don't know what LRA or ACG stands for.
And it has NOTHING to do with color, as the "LRA" model is silver, like the U.S. Cellular Silver model. (The B&H US998 does come in silver.)
So, has nothing to do with carrier or color, so what else is there? I assume these are the open market phones that will receive bootloader unlock? But I never heard of an Asian open market phone.
LRA
https://www.lg.com/us/products/wtb?modelId=MD05892777
ACG
http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-AS998-ACG-lg-v30
Here's a screenshot comparing the silver U.S. Cellular model to the "LRA" and "ACG" model. You can clearly see it does not have the same carrier designation and strangely is also listed sort of in the color, but yet has nothing to do with color.

Here's what i found

ACG

Interesting. MyLgphones.com says that the KDZ for the AS998 is live on LG Bridge.

OK, so these are regional CDMA/LTE carriers who often partner with Verizon for roaming. They are not MVNOs, but smaller, rural standalone carriers with their own spectrum.
I know about these, so that's good news.
They often get the same model phone Verizon gets but sometimes under different model name. For instance the U.S.Moto Maxx XT1250 = Verizon Droid Turbo XT1254. Same bands, same FCC ID, everything. You could run it on Verizon with a Verizon LTE SIM card. And had easily unlocked bootloader. It was basically the dev version of the Droid Turbo.
Probably won't be so lucky here, LG probably has them locked down also.
