The LTE bands of Indian variant (XT1643) are different. Do you have LTE there in Chile with this firmware? What provider? Note that the 2G/3G bands are the same.

Since the modem is re-flashed too, I don't get how the LTE bands would not be affected.

Bands:

LTE in Chile:

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] dhk.-:
I do have LTE on band 4 now... If you see in the list attached, band 4(1700/2100) is not available in India.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SoNic67:
So your model is actually a XT1644 (the only one that has LTE band 4)?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] 903tex:
Well it shouldn't mess with your bands as your bands are hardwared into the processor. BUT as this is a soak test build I wouldn't except everything to work

Add my screen capture.

Can I flash this nougat ROM?

Thanks un advance.

XT1641 (2gb RAM 32gb ROM)
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SoNic67:
Nope. The bands are a combination of non-volatile (NV) settings inside the Qualcomm modem and hardware bits. Good news is that it seems that Moto update didn't touch the NV, so even with the "wrong" firmware, the NV part of the modem that determines the bands remained the same. Don't know if any other issues might arise (like VoLTE functionality).

Info about the NV area:

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] smstiv:
Just a reminder. It is highly recommended when you go to make a change in your device to the first do NANDROID your current system. So you make sure that if something goes wrong you can restore a copy of your operating system. Someone asked the question of how to return to MM. I just restore my MM backup with TWRP and ready, all right.

Flashed on XT1643 & using airtel 4G. Works fine
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] micahbell:
Two questions about this. First off, I am using a XT1641 version p2a from Canada running build MPJ34.139-23.3.

1) Your post says it works for 41-42-43-44 but your update link is specifically for XT1643. Is that correct? Should all these phones be updated to that firmware first or do you mean to say that you should just be on the latest build for your phone? My build is older than that but says there's no update.

2) I had to flash stock MM firmware before and needed to flash a specific carrier or else WiFi and network wouldn't work. With Nougat is there just one that will work for everything or do I need to wait for my specific carrier to have firmware released?

Thanks

*Edit*

Finally got around to the update, everything works perfect on my phone. Only odd thing is that my version in Hardware Information changed - went from p2a to PVTB. Not sure what that means (if anything at all), but either way it doesn't seem to affect anything.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] dhk.-:
1. Yeah, it's alright. I flashed it on my XT1641 and no problems, Baseband conserved. As you say, our variant was the only one without getting ANY security update. But flashing this one let you update to Nougat.

2. Truly, idk. I have only seen retail variants. But it didn't modified any network related thing on the cases that I know. So, make a backup and try :)

So other pre-orders people aren't shocked or disappointed as well you *DON'T* receive the headphone in your box. There are 2 ways to get them.

1) The LG promo on LG.com

Note the deal doesn't open up until 10/28/2016

or

2) Visit the store, bring your box, and agreement and pick them up after 10/28/2016

Hopefully they will have enough in store when I turn in my V10.

I just LGUP'd my V10 back to stock and it's ready to go back to T-Mobile. Loving the weight of the V20 vs the V10. It feels so much better in the hand. Now we'll see how the battery life is.

Dear All,

I have been a LP 5.1.1 user since the beginning and I didn't change anything but all of a sudden I can't use Google Maps as I don't get a fix. I used GPS test and also no fix.

I had this problem before and did some fiddling and got it working again. But I forgot what I exactly did. But I don't think its a hardware failure but a software glitch.

Hopefully somebody here with same problems.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregy74:
I think this is not software problem. It was happened when I flashed to 5.0. I think flashing from 4.** to 5.0 killed my gps. After tried all kind of solutions in sent my phone to Sony service centre. The changed my motherboard without any questions. And my warranty was extended to +2 years. I think Sony know exactly what is problem. And my opinion is that is hardware problem. I also think this problem is just with first generation of z3c. My friends bought this phone later with android 5.** don't have any problems.

For me the answer is sadly -No. Foxfi installed fine and does work in Bluetooth mode (Edit: USB mode working too). When I activate hotspot, it installs a certificate, attempts to turn the Hotspot on, then goes into a loop of certificate install, attempt to turn on, repeat. VZW UDP

It was in the quote on my post. I had a feeling I didn't make that obvious enough so apologies. Its this: "Would anyone like to try bypassing the verizon tether subscription check by option 1: installing network signal refresher, refresh signal and immediately turning on hotspot while refreshing. or option 2: turn on airplane mode then off and hit hotspot icon before it recaptures the signal."

Pixel owners have reported option 1 working for them. Hopefully it can work here too.

What do you do when it prompts you to buy a hotspot subscription plan?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] porscheoscar:
At $80 a month you would need to average 16-24 gb a month to make it a sweet deal. If you average more than a 100gb you end up on the radar. If you average more than 200gb you're getting the boot this year.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] CharlzO_2000:
Just chiming in to agree with what people have said thus far: The vs995 Verizon variant, unrooted, does not support Hotspot tethering through FoxFi/pdaNet because of the 7.0. It does support Bluetooth and USB tethering through an app installed on the computer, which does work fine. A side note: disconnect any existing wifi connections - the software will connect through the USB but doesn't over-ride the wifi connections for data. Realized that this weekend at the hotel when I couldn't figure out why I was still only pulling 3 meg down.

The software also has a beta wifi-sharing option through USB tethering, that in theory will allow you to tether to a laptop, and then share the wifi onwards from there (because you know, convenience...). Rooting, changes the game, and it sounds like the 996 version also might work for it. That's without spending the extra $30 on TOP of the already $50-a-month unlimited data plan for those of us on it, for hotspot functionality. I'm just holding out for ROM's that have had the bugs worked out before rooting. I can manage to work with the USB tether to my laptop in the meantime, but come summertime, that's not going to work well.

I'm actually interested to see what happens when the S6E and other phones get the 7.0 update later on, if it's Nougat that's breaking it for Verizon phones in general, or only certain models with it.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mrtruckincowboy:
I've rooted mine and took the tether plan off.

Works fine with a modified Hotspot provision apk
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] porscheoscar:
Can you Bluetooth tether from Android 7.0 to a Chromebook? Or does have to be Windows laptop.

I just got a convertible Acer chromebook.

I also have an unlimited tablet data plan with another carrier that allows me to use Foxfi as long as it's a jellybean device. So I picked up the Samsung Mega 6.3" giant phablet from back in 2013 used for $150. It has LTE hopefully with decent speeds. The battery is removable. I will see about using it as my hotspot device.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] darylrue:
I have the vs995 with verizon total wireless plan. Wifi with foxfi worked fine until a recent test. Last time I used it was maybe 3 months ago. All of a sudden I get the error about 7.0 not supported. As far as I can tell nothing is updated. no new foxfi apk, no updates are ever sent to a non verizon phone that I can tell. Trying to figure out what changed. I can do wifi through pda net but never had to have that installed before. pda net will not let you save the password for wifi or I would just use that. Trying to have wifi for some devices in the car while driving.

For verizon you need a modified tethering.apk so it unlocks native tethering on your device.
