Hey everyone, does the LG G2 D802 work on T-Mobile's LTE network in the US? I found a great deal on one and thinking about purchasing today. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks!
I got a great deal in Verizon one. I'm on t mobile $30 plan but I think its only 3g. Got 4mbps d 1.5 up.
Havnt been out yet signal weak.

d802 lte radio supports = 800/900/1800/2100/2600 MHz
tmobiles lte = band 4, 1700mhz
So no, only HSPA+
Pretty much the only non tmobile branded g2 that will get lte on tmobiles network is a canadian one iirc.

Have you checked the app settings? If hey are on the fast-tmobile blah blah blah (I know not technical) then I would imagine you getting HSPA+ hopefully

You would only get H+ on Tmobile reformatted 900/2100 and edge for when your not on those towers I would double check the 900 in your area

I'm curious why Verizon's VS980 does not work on T-Mobile's LTE 1700(4)? The phone has the correct bands.
Verizon - VS980
GSM 850/900/1800/1900
CDMA 850/1900
UMTS 850/900/1900/2100
LTE 1700(4)/700(13)
Does the UK D802 have LTE?

So yea I have a vibrant and I'm about to unlock it to att, yes I know "why didn't you just get the captivate" well the captivate (vibrant for att) has an ugly design and att blocks non market apps so yea.
My question is because I heard that someone had 3g from att on the vibrant, is this possible,?
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using XDA App
An unlocked Vibrant will get 3G service on some of ATTs older 3G towers. They are slowly phasing them out though. So if you happen to be in an area that uses the old towers your will get 3G but eventually those towers will be converted and you will lose 3G forever.

I had called att and asked if they had maps to show 850 vs 1900 but they could only show coverage of 3g just if they had it or not.
I don't know how long before they phase out 1900 but I don't think they're just going to take it down until they've added enough new towers to cover / overlap what they already have. Plus they should be working on lte rolling out next year.
I have vibrant with 3g on att. Speeds seem decent - getting about 1800 kbps down and 1600 kbps up.

Maybe. If it works on 1700Mhz and can use HSPA+ it will be able to do 3G. If it only gets 1900Mhz with GSM then it can do Edge.
Unless your area has been refarmed.

MrObvious, It's not very obvious what refarmed is. What do you mean by that?
They are working nationwide on putting 3g not just on their 1700/2100 classic 3g frequencies but the more standard 1900 MHz since their Edge uses that frequency.

Cool, maybe then I will be able to get 3G on my Android phone when it's on 1900 but since I can't get 3G or 4G now I'm not holding my breath.

The SGS3 (T999) does NOT have the LTE radio built in. You will need to purchase the new SGS3 model from T-Mobile, the T999L in order to get the LTE radio and frequencies.
So basically if I buy the HTC one or the Gs4 from T-Mobile I will have Lte service. Thanks...

Yup! No problem! speeds were tested at the T-Mobile store on Baseline & Rural, on a Galaxy Note II on display in the store.
If someone has a phone such as the ssg3 I-999 phone that doesn't have Lte bands but its cap able of 42 m.b.p.s. hspda isn't that pretty much as good as having a Lte phone. Thanks!!!

No, HSPA+ 42mbps is not the same as LTE. It's close, but it's not the same. You're not going to get anywhere close to 40mbps on HSPA with T-Mobile, the network has enough users on it at any given time, you may come close to 30, but you'll never break that barrier due to the specification limitations and tower limitations. LTE is new hardware and software backbone which supports much more bandwidth being handled at once, to more users at once.
The Phoenix Metropolitan area should be Release 7, Category 14 (21mbps), anywhere that has the 42mbps should be on Release 8, Category 20 or 24, depending on the model of their phone (20=single radio, 24=dual-radio). Wikipedia

Since the n4 uses all frequencies of the USA T-Mobile & AT&T. Has anyone noticed T-Mobile roaming hspa off att in areas that T-Mobile does not offer their 4G service?

It is always interesting to know since they t-mobile were given 7 yrs to roam at 850mhz for 2G & 3G. Recently T-Mobile announced moving hspa, edge, and gsm to 1900mhz. I need to know if anyone is getting hspa T-Mobile roaming off att?

I have LG G pad 8,3" VK810 from Verizon. I would like use 3G in Europe. Please advise how to activate 3G for Europe? Or how unlock from Verizon for Europe? Thanks for help everybody.
From my understanding, the VK810.4G "ONLY" has 4G capability, no 3G possible.

But may be 3G hardware is available in it but just non-active?
And how to use it in the Europe?
also interesting solution to this problem
From what I read the GPad VK810 only has 4G modem, not 3G. I tried to research this topic when I went out of the US to Asia, didn't have any success...
Yep only 4G. I am able to use with free tmobile data because tmobile uses same lte band as Verizon where I live, but t-mobile coverage is really bad.
