Has the right bands, all tmobile phones as of a year ago or so have been compatible with att. Just have to unlock it.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lethalboy:
was very angry yesterday because no lte was working but after all I think I will keep it.. made a speedtest and the result was like 12mb on my home... Thats pretty good!!! My z2 worked with LTE but call quality and sound was to bad so I sold it and got the lg d855!! No LTE, only hspa+ but With this guy sound and call quality issues are part of the past lol
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
Up to you. It sucks cause the resell value will be bad with no lte
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lethalboy:
True, but the good thing is that its the international version, so updates will come first
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
Yeah well so will Korean. You should of tried returning it to whoever you bought it from
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lethalboy:
Will try it.. The problem with the Korean is that I heard it only gets LTE no 3g or h+. So if you go to an area without LTE coverage then you will be stuck with 2G (Edge)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
No it works on at&t fully as it has all the necessary bands. Same bands as the European one except the LTE one is right.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lethalboy:
Ok.. What korean version are you guys going to get
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
i bought the F400K

i really thought about keeping the 855. and it does get pretty fast speeds on HSPA+ but i have LTE included in my plan would be a waste
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
F400k here as well. And yeah I have 10gb of data so it would be pointless and not worth it. If the phone was like 400 then yeah but not at the price its at for no LTE for us.

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

Also I heard that the d855 can flash a new recovery. I'm guessing if you do that and someone makes a ROM you might be able to get access to the bands in the menu to change it to LTE. Who knows
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
yeah i know this is XDA and i did it before. by taking the system from say HK flashing it via recovery. then taking official LG flash tool and fully converting over. but i am tired of rooting flashing and modding. i know know this is what XDA is about.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackal2001:
Hey guys, I have a quick question. I have an older ATT galaxy S2 and plan on buying an LG G3 outright, probably whatever one is found to work properly, 400K by the look of things.

So if I walk into an ATT store I'm going to need a new SIM card as mine for the S2 is bigger.

I've read a couple of you guys stating to not give ATT the new phone's IMEI number. Why is that?

According to what I found on ATTs website:

The International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number is a 15-digit serial number that identifies your wireless phone/device.

Registering your device IMEI number with AT&T

To access certain wireless features and/or rate plans, you must have the correct IMEI number on file for your device.

Finding your the IMEI number for your device

The IMEI is listed under your phone's battery. Dial *#06# from your wireless device to view its IMEI number.

Now my wife has an ATT Iphone 5 which is LTE I think. If for some reason I wanted to keep my IMEI private, could I just have them activate a new SIM card in her phone under my phone number? Once activated, throw it in my new LG G3 400K? Sorry for the question, but I don't get out much.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
IMEI tells AT&T whether or not your device supports LTE on there network. and even if it does. just like the 400K its not a product listed by AT&T in the USA. so there for sometimes LTE will not work because the network cannot tell what kind of device it is. just like when I called. they could only see it was a LG phone but could not tell anything further so some keep a USA bases IMEI attached to the account. with the sim card to get around this issue. but I don't see it being a problem if you did give them the IMEI. but then again I dunno. I sold my HTC one M8 so I don't want to use the same IMEI that someone else is going to use. it causes discrepancy's in the service experienced it already.. but some people have no issues
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackal2001:
So basically you are saying you can give them the imei number of the 400k but if for some reason you still don't get lte you can put the sim in another phone and have them register that imei so their network knows it is a supported device.???
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
yeah pretty much. like spoofing the system

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
i am sure its possible. one way to do it is extract KDZ. make your own custom rom with system intact. there was a few guides. then flash it to whatever firmware you want. them flash official firmware. to convert it over. you have to make the phone think its a diff model. i didnt want to do this considering i could have just returned it. which i did. let us know how it works out

I just found attached LG G3 Guide. It tells that phone has following bands.

LTE 1/3/7/8/20/28 (A&B)/40TDD

No band 17 ,So no LTE for AT&T.

I can also confirm ATT LTE is not working on D855 for me.So i am returning mine.

I was able to use LTE on D855 model . I live in Canada and use Rogers which uses LTE Band 700 and 2600 MHZ .
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geddamuri:
Is yours working right out of box. Do you have d855 with HongKong firmware. Rogers LTE bands 4,7,17 all available in this phone.

I played with my phone. I see band 17 in service menu but still its not working.

When i choose LTE only , it fails saving the setting.

Do you have any suggestions.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
You should of tried either flashing another firmware, or rom.

Or even buying an unlocking code for 5$ or so and seeing if that lets you keep the settings.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pouzo:
Hi , It didnt work right out of the box , I got the D855 with UK version I believe . What I did was I went to settings and added a new APN for Rogers ltemobile.apn and then I went to playstore and I downloaded an app called LTE ON OFF with Red lightning Icon. Once I went in I saw the LTE/GSM feature and I enabled the LTE. IT is working like a charm and it saved the settings since I got it today morning . It is downloading over 45MB comparing to 4mb on 4G
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
So you don't have At&t? You have Rogers correct? I just want to verify so I know whether or bit there's hope for the d855.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geddamuri:
Well, Flashing is not an option right now. If it wont work then i need to return it. I used your suggested app. Looks like its setting the lte option. But after that i am not able to select the band 17.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zxaz:
at&t use 700 and 1700.....rogers 700/2100/2600 since the d855 don't have the 1700 but have the 2100/2600...this is why it working since it connect either to the 2100 or 2600 frequency....for the 700 frequency its because the d855 use another band instead of the 17....
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
Yeah the 700 is band 28 on this which Is for another country

Well said. If we need app and consistent manipulation then i better get the Korean version.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackal2001:
What is the point of getting the 400K over the ATT version? I'm assuming both versions are going to have locked bootloaders or will the 400K not have a locked bootloader?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fizwiz:
I have sold my F400..to much bloat and instead that you change the language in English, you will have a lot of Korean
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
Wait till you get the at&t one then lol.

Also the boot loader isn't locked in the f400 and if it is it most likely will get unlocked unlike the att one which may never get unlocked.

The bloat is removable. And with a custom ROM the few parts in Korean will be English.

D855

i am planning to buy the D855, i know that the LTE will not work with AT&T here in USA. But because i am interested about the fm-radio and also maybe i will need it in Europe i prefer this. My question is if you tested the D855 with the data with AT&T and what was the speed? I saw a screenshot before like 10 down 1 up. It's not like LTE but maybe is enough for me. And how it was in general the browsing etc? I don't know but i don't want to take the korean version. If i will not take the european i'd rather to wait for the US version. What is your opinion? Thanks.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geddamuri:
When i tested it was not even close to 5 mbps down and around 1 mbps up. If you are used to LTE then H speed is bothersome.I returned D855 and i am getting the korean version today.

I got a 250$ partial refund because I told the seller a really tiny bubble appeared under the display (I'm guessing the heat made the glue bubble but it seems to be getting smaller, clearly the glue is kind of fresh) so I paid 380 for the phone in the end! If anything a swuaretradr warranty is only 60 and that covers the phone fully.

So if I do sell it for like 620 or so in the end its a huge deal for me. I might keep it for a couple months to see if updates fix some issues.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
believe it or not. i had the S5 to hold me over in the mean time. and it was actually really good. battery life was fantastic also. i guess 2k display is not ready for prime time just yet. i mean dont get me wrong its beautiful. but if your after battery life its not the way to go just yet.

Everyone is free to do what they want. But is there a reason you wouldn't wait 2 weeks and just get the 32 gig t-mobile phone? Does T mobile put that much bloat on it?
