Hello i have a Motorla Razr XT926 Verizon ( this was designed to also be used on the LTE network 4G on Verizon
Im in the Uk and have a 4G LTE simcard the network is EE Orange and T-Mobile
It automatically goes on 2g & 3G H+
however does not allow the 4G gsm simcard to provide a the 4G network. I want to confirm that its not my provider as If I put this in another 4G handset the LTE nework is 4 to 5 bar signal strength
I have been in network work settings selected global & also GSM/UMTS and done a manual network search no 4G is to be found
I have contacted Motorola who advise that possibly it does not work on GSM simcards only on CDMS
Is there anyway of providing a solution to allow the LTE 4G to be used I presume something to do with the hardware ?
Please expalin in simple form
Many thanks
Neil

Hi everyone,
I recently obtained an AT&T sim card and installed it into my unlocked and rooted tmo g2. I was under the assumption that I would be able to at least get 3g on the AT&T network with my phone, but did not realize that the g2 does not support the frequency bands for at&t 3g. I currently only get 2g/edge, data is slow and calls are sketchy.I have all the apn's setup correctly, I know I do. The phone simply does not support the frequency for 3g.
I was wondering if I can force my phone to always roam on the tmobile network somehow so that I can obtain 3g or even by some stroke of luck 4g. I have national roaming so there is no charge.
Is This Possible???
Somebody please help me figure this out or tell me why it will not work.
XDA is a genius pool, somebody out there knows...
Thank you in advance

You can use AT&T's network with a phone that has an unlocked sim slot, but AT&T's 3G band (same band Canada Bell 3G is on) is different from T-Mobile's, as a result you won't be able to use 3G on AT&T's network.
The same is true if you bought an international Desire-Z and tried to use a T-Mobile Sim, no 3G speeds on T-Mobile, but 3G with an international GSM/HSPA carrier.
PS: The G2/DZ does not support 4G, the only time you ever seen 4G in the indicator is when the phone is on HSPA mode (kind of in between 3G and true 4G speeds).
In a nutshell, a T-Mobile G2 will ONLY be able to get 3G and faster on T-Mobile's Network.
----- The above mainly for people coming in wondering the difference ----
In regards to force roaming with T-Mobile's network, as far as I am aware the two have a limited pairing arrangement, with a AT&T Sim, you would get minimum edge speeds with T-Mobile. (ie: why would a competitor give you more than just basic service). ie: you're not a T-Mobile Subscriber, as such you'll only get Edge (if any data at all) when roaming outside of AT&T's coverage.
It won't show 4G just HSDPA at maximum.
I have this problem for my sister's LG Optimus G E975. Not rooted. I've checked that the network (Smart Philippines) supports this phone with LTE with bands 1, 3 & 5. But all we get is HSDPA. I've tried *#*#4636*#*# to manually select LTE only then network unavailable. I don't know how to fix this. Well clearly Im really new here so I hope someone helps. Thanks.
I know in that specific area where my sister tries to detect 4G, there's 4G because I have my Nexus 7 LTE, same network. I do detect 4G connection.
I believe special sim card is needed, which supports LTE. I have one old sim about 4 years old, it does not show 4g networks, if i switch sim, which was sold as 4g card, it shows LTE networks on the same phone.
Maybe you should contact your service provider about that.It is also possible where ever you are,there is no 4G coverage.
Hello,
I have ordered LT28i but came to me lt28h but on little sticker is written
LT28h
Mobile Phone GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1900, UMTS/HSPA+Bands 1/2/5/8,LTE Bands 4/17
here is the picture of that sticker
do you think that it can run on lte or certainly not?
New info and question I've been to some mobile shops for example ee and another in the ee they are offering lte demo data download simcards to try they lte speed (btw I'm in UK) and speed was slow and I did not have any 4g sign and when I have checked settings of xperia z1 there is possibility to choose gsm or hsdpa or lte and In my settings there isn't an lte option. I've heard from one side that for lte you need special sim card and from 2 more trustworthy sides that no for lte u just need lte enabled phone (no simcard) please owners of 4g version tell if you did need to change your 3g for 4g sim card or no and please tell me if you have in network mode lte option here is my screen

Do those carrier use AWS frequencies like T-Mobile in the USA? If they do, you need to enable AWS in the i747.

Thx a lot anyway.
Hi guys, am using a branded G3 At&t, but i am in a country with no At&t carriers. My problem now is that apart from 2G (EDGE) i cant connect to a 3G or 4G network. i have tried many stock roms and custom roms to no avail, even in areas with strong 3G/LTE receptions. I was scared that maybe my phone is carrier locked, but if so will i still be able to use it normally except using a 3G connection? I am kinda confused and stuck with EDGE?
My APN settings are correct according to my service provider.
Could it be that your network provider doesnt support the 3G and 4G bands that the AT&T G3 uses?
My network providers 3G band is W-CDMA 2100.
