No, that's exactly why it will NOT work.
Short version of the answer: LTE on F180x will NOT work outside of Korea. End of story.
Long version of the answer: do some search in Optimus G forums here on XDA, starting from FAQ and differences between models, and further into F180x -> E975 conversion options. There are literally tons of info on the specifics of the problem.

Like I said, try searching -- it all has been discussed before... With my limited knowledge of the LTE technology, I understand that, even though the band may be the same (1800), the actual working frequencies are still different and incompatible. I am not sure what is going to happen soon on your carrier's network, but so far F180x LTE only working in Korea seems to be the fact of life...

LTE Icon?

I've got the international variant and am enjoying it, save for the BL unlock malarkey surrounding non EU variants. I'm currently on T-Mobile, and I know for a fact that I'm getting LTE speeds, as is provided in the screenshot, but the icon simply shows 4G.
It doesn't bother me much at all, but I do like the way the LTE shows on the U.S. models (I think they're U.S. models). Has anyone with an H815 been able to get it to show LTE rather than just 4G? Sure would be nice if we get something like tweakbox like the G3 had to modify whatever we wanted! But alas, I don't think a stable version of xposed will be out for our devices for a long time.

I think you've misunderstood, I know I'm getting LTE already. I've setup the APN and whatnot already, I'm simply trying to get the LTE icon to show the way it does on the U.S. variants. I know it's a long shot, but I was wondering if there was some way it could be accomplished on the H815.
For instance, this G4 clearly has superior looking icons on the status bar, including "LTE" on top.
I'm pushing this up as I have the same issue with an h818p.
Any solutions NOW?

4G+ or not

Ok, Im currently living in Japan and we have access to 4G+ or carrier aggregation. I have the unlocked Moto z play (its not available thru the carriers here so moto sells it directly) XT1635-02 and just chatted to motorola support about 4G+ support.
While the customer service representative was kind and trying to be as helpful as they could be, I wasnt that confident that they answered my question. So Can anyone clarify, Does the moto z play support 4G+ ??? The CSR said "it is not automatic like my friend's zenfone 3" so I have to turn on data (which I have on all the time but still no 4G+ symbol)
Thanks
After updating to Nougat, my Moto Z Play is showing LTE+ (for LTE-Advanced)

I'm using jio in India and it is not showing LTE+ thats why i asked you
Yes
Guys, did someone manage to confirm that it supports carrier aggregation? There is a place here that I am 100% sure that has CA and I am very close to the cell, because its the headquarters of the telecom company, but my Z Play doesn't detect it at all and speed is just normal 4G speed. My model is XT1635-02 dual sim.
All of you who post screenshots, can you post a screenshot from the cell info page while you are shown the icon 4G+ or LTE+? Its accessible by typing *#*#4636#*#*, Phone Information -> bottom, the values EARFCN are important. This shows what band are you on. (if you don't know what's this, google EARFCN calculator and when you enter the value there, it gives you the exact frequency that the phone is receiving signal) I didn't manage to get 2 bands on the same time - either is 1575 (band 3 1800mhz) or 2850 (band 7 2600mhz) but not both at the same time which is what actually 4G+ ot LTE+ is - to be connected to two bands at the time.
Thanks
Yes 4G+ works automatically i am pretty sure

My us998 is only 4G LTE Wish i could get 5g with a software update.
TMobile also use 4g logo for 3g umts ?
Maybe one of the devs could create a mod with a 5G status bar icon. That way we could all have 5G in a flash :cyclops:

I assume you are being sarcastic? Because the doesn't happen. AT&T is lying again -- just like years ago they lied about 3G HSPA being "4G".
That's why in U.S., you'll see "4G" for HSPA and "4G LTE" for actual 4G. That's why I change my build prop to one of the Canadian carriers so I see "H" and "LTE" in my status bar.
But, hey worked before and stupid people believed it... Might as well try it again. This time they got sued.

Question Enable 5G before OTA Update

Is it possible to enable 5G in the Indian variant of One Plus 9 Pro? I know I cannot test 5G network. I tried to edit the carrier_policy.xml. This was the output.

Also is it possible to enable the rest of the bands like North America Varient?
same question.
I do have this same question
I'm positive that the indian version might not have the physical antennas for 5g built inside, the north American does because apparently 5G is so important that every new phone in America needs it. Im guessing its the same thing like with the International version of the Galaxy Note 21 where they don't have the 5G antennas and the North America does but they sell them the same price no matter what.
But who knows I could be wrong

You need a 5g plan enabled sim and you should ask your provider if they have 5g coverage in your area.
If 5g is enabled in your phone. You shud select 5g in network type. Also options like Smart 5G will be enabled in settings. The sim should be in sim slot 1 if dual sim phone.

One way to check from UE Capability Information message if it report 5G band then it's enabled.
You can check few differents way to get UE Capability Information message: https://cacombos.com/contribute.

Question Will it work?

my german bought 6 pro does not fully work in my country(5g, volte and so on). I am planning on giving it to my sister who lives in the U.S. Will everything work there correctly? Will the google features work?
Should work fine. All the Pixels run the same firmware these last few months.
European models do not have a mmWave antenna. Major carriers in the US use that.

No need for 5g. It destroys the battery life on the 6 pro, from what I have read. Just need carrier aggregation, volte, vowifi and the pixel features to work.

Major carriers (plural) or just Verizon?

Even if the phone does lack the capability to use 5G, it'll still work on 4G just fine. I haven't bothered to have a 5G plan yet.

I'm not sure. I always associate it with Verizon but perhaps other carriers use it as well. The rollout has been quite confusing now with C band in the mix..

Did she ever make it work then? Did VoLTE and WiFi calling work in the US right off the bat?
