Hi,
I'm trying to confirm if and how well this unlocked model of the LG V20 will work on AT&T. I'm based in Austin TX. Some websites like frequency check say it's missing band 17, which is a problem for AT&T, but the Taiwan LG official listing shows it as having it and I've seen a couple of comments in forums of people saying it does and they use it on AT&T. There's also people saying not to get it for AT&T, so it's kind of confusing. Does anyone out there use this model on AT&T and can confirm that it will be issue free?
Thanks,
Steven
Wow, this forum kind of bites...
I have the. 990ds on att and I get lte. It will show up as 4g and how will show up as h or 3g.

That's good to know. Thanks for the reply. Any downsides? Does it suck to miss out on any of the stuff like voice over LTE?
I guess Cricket probably doesn't have that anyways. I'm just worried because I know it's missing like band 30 and maybe 17 that AT&T sometimes uses. I wonder if it could vary depending on area what bands are being used... What area are you in?

Cricket is going to be doing volte later this year. I do have a volte icon in my drop down menu too. When you power up thr phone from an off state, it takes a while like 15 seconds to get a data signal. Small issue, but it's the only one I've noticed.

It does have band 17, frequency check has incorrect information about lte bands. I have used an app to check what band was being used by the v20 and band 17 showed up.

Hi guys, I am sorry for reviving the old thread.
I too owned H990DS Sea version on latest nougat. It has volte option but just couldn't switch on without proper carrier configuration file.
Please take a look at this thread on LG G8
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ther-qualcomm-powered-lg-devices-too.4343655/
I tried on my H990DS using the above thread's method and it didn't work. I was informed that the mbn files are for LG G8. We need mbn files that are specific for LG V20. I have searched up and down and I couldn't find any.
So I hope that I have provided some insights and I hope any member/master/guru out there can help where to find the mbn file (collection of all international carriers mbn) and make volte works for H990DS.

There's a factory UICC unlock that comes on your Sprint/Boost factory firmware (Settings/System Updates). So you can UICC unlock for use outside the United States. You can also purchase a GSM unlocked variant from BestBuy if you plan on strictly using it outside the US.

Idoneapps has been stellar in unlocking Samsung phones, and it seems that theyre venturing out into the realm of Moto phones!! hope may be on the horizon!!
still testing the app. Its a MSL reader as of now, but im sure more development will continue as idoneapps never ceases to amaze me with their work and skill

Yeah, but I have been beta testing an app for idoneapps recently that is showing some promise. The devs at idoneapps have yielded some seriously awesome results in the Samsung world, so I'm hopeful that the fruits of their labor will produce a dsufor the moto e 2105 as well. What I posted that you quoted was before I got the betas of the app. Keep your fingers crossed and I'll for sure post up when an unlock is available!

American and international.
They have different radio bands enabled, that should be the extent of differences.
Unless you mean on the device, then I assume the phone will be labeled in software, and probably have the SKU on the case somewhere.

It has most of the same bands but not all. You'd not have as good coverage using the international version for Project Fi in the US.
Also the versions abroad that have these bands are likely considerably more expensive than the US version. As an example, in the EU the 6P starts at at over $200 more for the base model.

International you gain Asian bands mostly 1 (is Europe to), 9 & 19 are Japan. You loose 30(AT&T future), 12 (hopefully will work with T-Mobile at launch lol), and 13 (Verizon?).
I hope they fix it in the def community like they did the nexus 6, almost all bands on both devices.

I am opening this thread with the intention of enabling a discussion among the North American users (current/prospective).
It appears that Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon variant) is the logical choice for north american user, as it includes few of the 4G bands.
So, how is the network experience with the major cell phone carriers? Which firmware/rom includes those bands? AOSP/Global/China? Does VOLTE work?
I have been using the RN3P for the last couple weeks. I am in the Florida area in T-Mobile network, and really happy to see that I get 4G LTE most of the time. It's the band 4 according to the LTE Discovery app.
I have tried a bunch of different roms, including global stable, aosp and developer beta. I have observed that the network is much better with the developer MM roms. I am currently using the Epic ROM based on the developer rom, and I think I shall use it as my daily driver.

Connected to LTE with Rogers and Koodo (Telus Band 4 AWS). I ordered the china model which shouldn't have included Band 4 (if you believe the information on all the china sellers sites), and confirmed it's not Kate model as it is only 150mm tall.

That's good to know. There are so many variants of this device, it's really confusing. I ordered mine from Gearbest last week, who knows when it will show up. The problem with these Chinese retailers is that sometime they themselves don't know what they have. I guess I have to see what I get. I just hope that mine also supports band 4, which T-mobile in USA also uses.
Are you still using China firmware? Does the china model come with Google Playstore?
http://willmyphonework.net/
most networks will work on the note 3 Snapdragon version (kenzo).
the Kate or aka Note 3 Special Edition model supports a additional 'band 20' which afaik is not used in the USA (someone confirm?)
the Mediatek note 3 Hennessy most likely doesn't have good usa network support
so make sure you get the kenzo or kate model, though I would stick with kenzo since the kate doesn't have as good of support or accessories

Mine came with Global 8.0.1.0 installed, prerooted, and unofficial bootloader unlock. I flashed official 8.0.1.0 global from tgz file, which then relocked the bootloader. I have done the official unlock with the same 8.0.1.0 official stable with no problems.
It came with Google Playstore, and some gapps (not all).
Anyone tried AOSP roms in north america? Does it also get the lte coverage?
I have heard privacy concerns from many people MIUI roms. May be rumors, may be not. But I don't wanna take the risk.
Can anyone compare the performance between MIUI and AOSP roms?

I have on hand experience with Umi Super. Which carrier you are on? With T-mobile Umi Super had really poor data connection. Barely got 3g, I couldn't even stream a YouTube video. I don't think it has any north american band. It's a decent phone for the price, but do your research first.
In Florida with T-Mobile network, using band 4.
I recommend changing the default apn settings to fast.t-mobile.com one, which better result for me.

Alright i got a simple but probbaly silly question that i am sure someome has the anwser to. I bought a unlocked S8+ SM-G955F and currently using it on Cricket Wireless . My question is though after putting in the correct APN informatiom for Cricket i notice that on my status bar top right were is shows the single and data connection. Instead of it showing 4G LTE like on my old S7 Active it only shows LTE and if i get a bad signal spot it will show H+. So did they remove thr 4G LTE icon and just replaced it with a simple LTE or is my phone configured worng ? Thanks
Well those icons and in fact the entire firmware are heavily carrier dependent in the US. You'll see various 4G LTE icons when you get a carrier branded phone that is part of each carrier's marketing scheme and not the Samsung or generic Android icons you would for an unlocked or any unbranded international device. Check the photos for a comparison before/after I flashed the unbranded firmware onto my ATT S8.
The important point is to check whether you do have actual LTE connection, for example by going into the menu when you dial *#*#4636#*#*. You're most likely fine and have nothing to worry about.

Not quite. LTE is LTE. 4G is something different in the specification.
H+ is HSDPA, 3G ist one Level below that.
So, the full row would be

No, LTE refers to the Band. 4G to the modem. They are two different parts of the same tech. Like 1gig Ethernet and cat6 one is a protocol, the other a medium...
So, another question to tag along with this one, very similar...I have a G955FD running on ATT in the us. Like OP states, the status bar shows "4G" and nothing regarding LTE. I have confirmed via LTE discovery that it is indeed connected.
Is there a root or other method to modify or customize that icon to match ATT or another carriers specific 4G LTE logos?
I guess I'll just start this page right here. I have never started a page so i really do not know what i should put. So basically this is a root bounty page. Someone with more Experience may jump in and help me make this page better or even take this page down and put one up but I did not see a Root bounty page for the At&t version of the Note 8.

The U started with the S8 and S8+ models. In the future it's supposed to be an update that unlocks the phones. When you put your carrier SIM card in it would provision it to work with that network. When this is supposed to happen IDK I haven't seen a hard date yet. That's why no matter what carrier branded phone you have they all are the U models.

all the phones are the basically the same US models ATT, Verizon, tmobile, sprint, for the unlocked version u will not have wifi calling, and I think hotspot, to tired at the moment, video calling will not work...
but u can fix the wifi calling by putting the firmware from ur provider if u need those features.
that's what been happening with the s8 plus models.

The "U" stands for unlocked. The unlocked version should work on all US carriers. As for using an AT&T sim you do loose wifi/ video calling, however the hotspot does work.
