Just stop.

They have the SAME BANDS.

All this information is wrong on the internet, the F400s isnt listed to have 700mhz yet it DOES.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
thats why i believe firmware is partly to blame as well
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
Hey can you take a screen shot of the service menu where the bands are

it should list the bands in the network selection

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

also where did you buy it from?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
from a ebay seller. the phone is charging up right now. i will post soon

Do u guys recommend to cancel my order for D855, its still in process and I can avoid any restocking fees if I cancel it right now. I dont want a device without a LTE.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
if you absolutely cant live without LTE then yes. because i am not sure whats gonna happen

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

guy from Ebay told me it would work. still debating on asking if i can return it
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papi92:
I hit up never msrp and i expect a full refund. Its advertised with 700mhz lte. Which i have.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vineet381:
you bring a good point and made me think if LTE is absolutely necessary, I think I can probably survive without it as I am on WiFi most of the times and quite content with my HSPA speed on Nexus 4. Have to take a decision soon!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
For the price of this phone it is neccesary.

If you bought the phone from someone on ebay who lists 700mhz it shouldnt have ANY restocking fee as it listed the bands u needed and thats not our fault.

So if anything u can return it and tell Paypal it was false advertising.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
i am the same way. hardly ever use data and when i do. it barely requires LTE.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
Can you take a pic of the service menu and network selection menu?

I need to see what the phone says inside.

It says 700 on the box AFAIK so that makes NO sense.

that band 28 700mhz LTE would also make no sense as they JUST started rolling those out in like china and its not very popular.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
well i have our emails stating it would work. then when i said ok i am going to take your word for it. he said no you are going to take LG words for it. because of the band listing almost rethinking. oh no what if it does not work lol
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
LG doesn't even list the bands on their site.

He got that from Gsmarena.

If anything open a dispute with Paypal.

I still think someone isnt doing something right or its the firmware.

I find it hard to believe it doesnt get LTE.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
the bands are listed on the box

LTE 700 800 900 1800 2100 2300 2600

WCDMA 850 900 1900 2100

GSM 850 900 1800 1900
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papi92:
Yes its on the box also.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
So why wouldn't it work ? lol

Unless youre in an area that has 1700 ATT LTE which is rare.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fizwiz:
The best way is to address the Band Number, instead of labeling the frequency.

Example in Canada Rogers use band LTE Band 7 (2600) and LTE Band Band 17 (700).

Now what AT&T band use? And what is the band of D855?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
knowing my luck i prob am lol. i dont think so though

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antonpace:
AT&T uses 700 MHz with block b is band 17

and 1700/2100MHz which is Band 4
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
on the side of the box it says for certified use in HK lol
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PootieThang:
I haven't been on XDA in forever but felt like I needed to log on to ask this question.

Do you guys have an AT&T IMEI on your account? I'm just wondering.

I recently switching from an iPhone 5 to an Xperia Z2 and could not get LTE. The problem was resolved once I went back to the AT&T store. There the store manager removed the Xperia Z2 IMEI then put the IMEI of a display Galaxy S5 on my account/line and I started to get LTE. This is common with many others and many other types of phones such an as unlocked HTC One M8.

I was told that in order to get LTE, you must have an AT&T IMEI on your account.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
i was thinking the same thing. because he did scan the IMEI of the new phone into the system. but i am also on a prepaid account so i am not sure if that matter or not
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fizwiz:
Band and Frequency is 2 different things. Normally 700mhz use Band 17 or 12. We need someone with a D855 to take a screen who like this.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
when i go to the service menu and click bands nothing shows
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
No one knows, some site says band 28 but that makes no sense as thats a fairly new band.

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

Wait, you brought that phone into ATT?

That's a huge mistake.

They most likely changed your plan cause people with the z2 had the same issues.

You need to give them another IMEI for an ATT Phone.

Also if you don't have the menu in the settings then its your rom thats the problem then, it seems that its blocking the bands from being seen, as it should show that menu.

Maybe the phone isn't unlocked. Have you tried buying an unlock code to unlock it

screenshot lol please!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PootieThang:
Suggestion based off of my Xperia Z2 D6503:

Not sure what many of you have going on but the easiest way to check for LTE if it's IMEI related is to put in a family member or friend's Sim Card in to your phone if they currently using an LTE device. For example, I inputted my parents Galaxy S5 sim into my phone and that's when it showed LTE. When I put my own SIM CARD back which was tied to the "non-AT&T IMEI", it went back to "4G". This was also how i convinced the manager at the AT&T store that I should be getting LTE which led to him using the IMEI of the display Galaxy S5.

I hope this helps as I too was waiting on the results on whether or not this phone is AT&T LTE compatible before purchasing. Thank you.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
This is true, good catch same thing as me with a z2 but I knew to keep my s5 from att on there and just popped the sim in the z2 and it worked.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
i had to go to AT&T bc i had a nano sim from the htc one. i had no choice but to get another sim card

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
I agree ATT was not happy when they saw I was using am unlocked phone on their network. It's not like they can do anything, I enjoy their dissatisfaction. I hope it gets LTE on ATT because I managed to drop my F400 while on my balcony and it didn't make it so I was hoping to save some money by getting the d855 .
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
Hang up and tell them you wanna activate another phone and give them the imei of an att device
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papi92:
Could be a region lock thing. Blocking lte.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vineet381:
where does the IMEI needs to get entered? Into AT&T system? Also would my sim from Nexus 4 work on this device or do I have to get a new one. Currently it does show LG E960 listed on my account.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
Maybe. But most people who buy unlocked phones just use their old Sim cards. Such as me. I have a Sim card converter and use the same Sim for all phones.

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

Typically you call them and no the nexus 4 isn't an LTE device so most likely not. Also it could be region locked so best bet is to unlock it for like 10$

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lostatsea23:
I bet it is. Some phones require you make a call for 5min to unlock it. You have to do that where the phone is sold. Download chainfire region unlock. It isn't free but I've used it before. It works. Cause if you can't see thatbservicr menu with bands it has to be locked.

Hi guys...

Is there any module or app who would allow me to expand the notification panel by sliding down from the middle of the screen? Sometimes it's difficult to reach the top of the screen mostly when I'm typing with one hand.

I know some of you would say to me to install a custom launcher. But I'm actually using a custom launcher that does not support this feature by itself. And despite of it I like this launcher very much... Not willing to change that.

So I want to be able to bypass my launchers "lack of gesture" support... If there is any way that any of you guys know I would be glad if you share. Thanks
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KDB223:
Hmm. I don't know of any such "app" or module for this, but this can fix your problems:

Install GravityBox (KK) > Reboot > Set a custom key in the navigation bar > Set it's function to open Notifications Panel.

This doesn't let you "swipe down" from the screen, but atleast you can get to the notifications without having to reach out to the top.

[HTC Droid DNA] Hackenstein:
Hey Guys,

Dug out my two old Droid DNAs today to sell them both. One has the unlocked bootloader, the other (my wife's old phone) does not. She took the OTA update when it went out way back when.

Been scouring the forums every where trying to find a way to unlock the bootloader to up the phone's value a little. Has anyone found a way to do this after the software update?

If there isn't a way to do it, does that make this phone pretty much un-changeable? Is it not possible to get root, add custom recovery, flash custom OS, etc?

Thanks!

one concern about RUU.

I've had this phone since their launch, and i remember that throughout the updates, the battery life and everything in general had become much better; I do appreciate the KitKat system and the upgraded Sense.

My concern is, if I revert back to earlier RUU, will i suffer from those of the earlier Android versions? or, will the newer Sense or ROMs take care of it?

---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

I know this will be a frustrating question for you;

For you to RUU, from my understanding, i have to get a rumrunner, but from what i read, it's used for software versions 3.XXXX. Mine is 4.XXX can i still use the rumrunner to RUU to the prev software versions?

Or, do i need to look for something newer to come out?

It is clear from the logcat that i got during turning on my WiFi, that it says WiFi drivers not loaded.

I'm currently running cloudyflex 2.4 on Verizon's VS980. I've tried other roms also with the same result.

Having 105Mb/sec available and pulling 3.5 is unacceptable. If anyone has a fix I'd be very appreciative.

Any XDArs using AT&T with the Verizon G2 care to comment on how it's working for them? I am considering the switch and was wondering about any general issues - and possible use of a hotspot. I am running a stock 4.4.2 rom

Thanks!
[Verizon LG G2] equake:
Yep, I have G2 on ATT. You won't really get LTE unless AWS is enabled in your area. I'm running XDABBEB 24A stock ROM. The phone isn't my daily driver so can't say too much for stability but from the 24A thread there are people using it with great results.

There are also some users that have used it with TMO probably with better results since TMO uses AWS (Band 4) for LTE.

my 2 cents.
[Verizon LG G2] AndroJak:
Thanks for the reply - can I ask if the hotspot works?
[Verizon LG G2] AndroJak:
Ok, in case anyone is interested, - I made the switch to AT&T with my VS980 and everything went smoothly - I have HSPA+ (no LTE) - speed seems fine for general use - and working SMS/MMS, APNs were picked up from the SIM I expect. Hotspot works (though I have the modified apk) so far so good.
