Hi,
Can anyone Add/unlock all global 4G LTE bands in HTC Desire 820 Dual Sim phone?
Currently it supports only LTE FDD 1, 3, 7, 8 and TDD 38, 39, 40, 41 bands. So this phone can work in Asia and Europe but not in USA 4G network (e.g. AT&T or T-Mobile).
To work seamlessly in USA 4G network, the phone needs atleast the following extra 4G LTE bands:-
LTE FDD : 2, 4, 12, 20, 26
LTE TDD : 42
So can anyone add these LTE FDD : 2, 4, 12, 20, 26 and LTE TDD : 42 bands to this HTC Desire 820 Dual Sim phone ????

download "Network Mode" in play store.
I purchased an HTC Desire 820 Dual Sim in Hong Kong last week. I used it in China on China Mobile 4G without any problems. Returned to the USA yesterday and can not get 4G to work on StraightTalk (AT&T). I had an HTC M8 (Hong Kong version) before the Desire 820 with the same SIM card and APN settings, 4G was working fine. I bought the Desire 820 because it showed support for the same 4G bands as the M8. I tried downloading the "Network Mode" app above and that didn't do anything.
Thoughts???
So I'm guessing nobody has used a Desire 820 Dual SIM on any USA 4G network?
My d820u dual sim connects to us straight talk and show H+. Never saw 4g icon. I purchased mine in Taipei.

I get the same H+ connection but no 4G on straight talk (AT&T). What I find strange is that the Desire 820 Dual SIM supports the same bands as my previous One M8 which worked on 4G just fine. While shopping in Hong Kong, I looked at every dual SIM phone on the market and compared network support. The reason I chose the Desire 820 was my impression that I would have 4G in China & the USA. The hardware is there, but something is wrong with the software on the phone. Unfortunately, this is not a popular phone, so I doubt we're going to get many technical people looking into the issue.
Bump... Love the phone but the lack of 4G when you know the hardware can do it frustrating. Anyone have some ideas?

The only reason I see is that the LTE band StraightTalk uses is not supported by your phone model. The One M8 worked because it supported a heck lot of bands. Most mid-range phones will have problems in the US if you do not buy from the US.
As for the references you have given, they are for Sony devices and the Galaxy S5 respectively........They are not guaranteed to work on this phone, you may try it, but you could risk a broken radio. I believe there was a generic guide for this somewhere for Qualcomm devices, it was featured in the XDA portal. You may find it with a little digging
EDIT: Turns out someone was able to get bands on the Verizon HTC One M8 with the method posted in the Galaxy S5 forum, so it might be worth a shot. But it isn't an easy process

As far as I can tell, the M8 does not support more bands than the Desire 820, in fact, the 820 actually supports more bands than the M8.
Thanks for the advice, not sure I'm up for losing 3 days of my life trying to learn and hack the Desire into working.
Bump, anyone ever get 4G working in the USA?
Nice to have Android 5.0.2, bummer that I still don't have 4G
I too need a phone that supports USA LTE frequencies dual SIM? Any luck with this? I have not found 1 phone that can do Asian LTE and USA LTE with dual active SIM functions i.e. 4G + 4G at same time.

I'm VERY concerned about buying this phone now. T-Mobile have only listed LTE bands 4 & 17 on their site.
International
Quad Band GSM; LTE: 4, 17; UMTS: Band I (2100), Band II (1900), Band IV (1700/2100), Band V (850)
What in the eff?
Des just answererd this question on Twitter: https://twitter.com/askdes/status/581568102015569920
It has:
GSM - 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS - B1/B2/B4/B5
LTE - B2/B4/B12/B17 with CA + B3/B7 roaming
This is the perfect T-Mobile phone.
So the T-Mobile version does not have 1700, and is therefore identical to the other models? Do we know if it includes wifi-calling, or if we would be able to flash the T-Mobile ROM onto the unlocked dev version?

It does have 1700! That's Band 4, and for both LTE and HSPA.
The T-Mobile version also supports WiFi calling and texting. I have no idea if the T-Mobile firmware can be flashed to the unlocked version, but I don't see why it wouldn't be feasible.

T-Mobile (Des) confirmed: 2, 3, 4, 7, 12, and 17
AT&T lists: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 17, and 29 (adds +5 and +29)
HTC Dev & Unlocked versions (per HTC on Twitter): 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 17, 29, 30 (adds +5, +13, +29, +30)
Maybe the T-Mo phone supports more that could be unlocked, who knows. The extra bands aren't useful to me.
Sorry, but I just want to clarify.
Do all versions of this phone support BAND IV UMTS or not?

HTC has done this on the past couple of phones. Only the T-Mobile phone will do their specific bands (HSPA+). On past models I don't recall anyone getting the ATT/DEV models to work with those T-Mobile bands. I don't believe we ever found out why. Some speculated it was due to cost to license all the bands, or that it is actually different hardware. The M7 and M8 were both like that.
If you are on T-Mobile, I'd get the model specifically for them.

Oh yeah I remember my Dev version being like that. Fortunately, I live in an area that has been upgraded to mostly lte. This was actually beneficial for me and maybe others in the same situation because it actually saves battery life when the phone isn't constantly switching between edge, 3g/+, and lte. I'm sure many others have been in an area that's barely out of lte but still within h+ range and it's still slow as edge or even slower.

Yes, it is OK if you live in a major area that has lots of LTE. Here just north of LA, I get into the other bands pretty frequently.
I am not sure this was answered? Do all versions of the HTC one m 9 support band 4 UMTS? Many ATT carrier unlocked models are for sale and no one seems to know if they will pick up the UMTS 1700 band 4 on T- Mo?

They will not pick up the T-Mobile specific bands, which use 1900/2100 for 41bps speed. They will work with the T-Mobile LTE band.
Wow, still a mystery. I have the AT&T SIM Unlocked One M9 and I have a TMobile prepaid SIM and get Edge, 3G, 4G, LTE Band 2,4,12...I cannot find an app that shows the actual WCDMA (4G) Bands ? But, it notates 42 MBPS when it says HSPA+ 4G using Network Signal Info-Pro App..and also shows 384 Kbps when it says 3G....
So, seems Des is correct unless the Network Signal Info Pro app is wrong?
I turned off everything except WCDMA, and this is what I get being reported by LTE Discovery. HSPA+ @ -113. I have a ATT unlocked M9. I do have the T-Mobile 2.11.531.19 firmware installed as well as the T-Mobile rom.
Using XDA to unleash the power of Android on my HTC One M9
Thanks but as I mentioned I cannot find an App that shows the WCDMA Bands to confirm. As you can see even LTE Discovery says N/A for DL and UL Freq...when on WCDMA...
The only App I can see that helps is Network Signal Info Pro...and unfortunately it is limited and shows me the below in my market;
HSPA+ 42.2 MBPS
HSDPA 7.2 MBPS
UMTS 386 KBPS
But, does not indicate which Band or Frequency ?
Anyone know of an App or Command that will show WCDMA Bands???

In Taiwan the new HTC ONE M9 offers the following LTE Bands which sucks in you travel abroad often. I saw this info at the Taiwan Mobile shop in Taipei. If you travel to America and want to use T-Mobile then you will be missing Band 12 and other bands which keep you from having 4G LTE in the US. The new Galaxy S6 Edge is the better choice if you are a frequent traveler and want wider 4G LTE Band coverage.
LTE FDD 01,03,05,07,08,20,29
LTE TDD 38,40,41
Asian LTE bands have never matched American and vice versa..
P.S. It was even worse with M7 and M8 though..
Overseas Electronics made an unboxing video of a TW version. I have captured the back of the box. I see only 700/900/1800 Mhz LTE support.
But anywhere else FDD：1、3、5、7、8、20、28 頻段.
Can anyone confirm there is only one Asian unlocked version?

The bands are for SEA (south-east asia) version. Details at http://www.htc.com/sea/smartphones/htc-one-m9/
M8 did not support that many bands; so they have different models for different countries.
For those who travel around Asia including China and possibly Europe, the 4G coverage is pretty good. :victory:

Total of 10 Bands for the HTC ONE M9 and a total of 19 for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge in Taiwan. If one does not travel too often this is not much of a concern but if one travels often and especially between Asia and America then the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge will have the edge over the HTC One M9 because one can use it on T-Mobile's 4G LTE Network in America and get 4G LTE service in Asia as well where this is not possible with the HTC One M9. Not sure why HTC decided to do this. They always manage to find a way to lose a sale.

Believe the 4G bands are provided by SnapDragon chip. There could be other models.

You should find out what frequency bands your carrier uses and match that up with what your phone has.
Chances are you have a phone that does not support your carriers 4g bands and its reverting back to the more basic 2 g stuff.

Hi everyone!
Me and my family are taking a trip to the UK soon and my sister as a HTC One M9 on Verizon and I was wondering if anyone has tried to use this model on a network in the UK (such as three or O2). The rest of the family, myself included, have iPhones so it isn't a problem for us. I also carry a nexus 5x that I could let her use but would prefer not too.
Any thoughts?
So you've got a Verizon-branded HTC M9? On the page for the Verizon HTC M9, it lists the following bands:
Network
--- LTE Band 13/4 (700/1700MHz), CDMA/1xEVDO Rev. A (800/1900 MHz)
Global Network
--- EDGE/GSM (850/900/1800/1900)
--- HSPA/UMTS(850/900/1900/2100)
Compare those bands against the list of European carriers & UTMS bands & LTE bands to see which ones you can use effectively there.
Yes it will work fine roaming with your own sim provided you have pre-arranged international roaming with your carrier, but a local sim card will not work.

To be more specific, a local SIM card will work (all global Verizon devices are SIM-unlocked) but your connectivity will be limited by which network bands the Verizon M9 supports.
I just got a brand new international version of the G7 Thinq, it is the international version, with 128gb and 6gb ram.
I'm able to connect to T-mobile and make calls etc, but it won't connect to LTE even though I've been using LTE for years in my area with no issue on old phone.
T-Mobile support was not able to help me.
The highest it connects is 4g
I really do not want to return this phone to the seller, but I don't want to settle for a phone that can't connect to LTE like my old one.
Willing to try anything...any ideas?
Thanks

I just googled it and I've read 3 sites so far that says they are not the same.....
https://www.tccrocks.com/blog/what-is-difference-between-4g-and-4g-lte/
I'm not trying to start an argument. I'm just used to my phone displaying LTE and if you are saying this model does NOT display LTE, and displays a "4G" instead, then that answers my question. Some sites even say HSPA+ is 4g, and I know that is different than LTE.
On tmobile he is correct 4g is hspa+.. My g7 says 4g lte when on lte.. Did you do a network reset? Or call tmobile and ask then to redo your phone activation to make sure you register on there network right.. Maybe need a newer sim?
Check the APN settings

I've called T-Mobile, had them do a restart, had them check APN, etc.
I'm using the same sim as my old phone that gets LTE just fine, so it's not that.
I'm thinking something about this international version maybe doesn't support one of the bands or frequencies that T-Mobile uses in Chicago (even though it says it supports GSM worldwide)
I'm probably going to send it back as my 3 year old Motorola phone gets a higher tested download speed on a speed test than this new one without LTE. Just wanted to check if anyone else had the issue. Thanks

T-Mobile uses LTE bands 2, 4, 12, 66, 71, while the G710EAW, which I assume is the model you've bought, supports bands 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 28, 38, 39, 40, 41 - so none of the TMob LTE bands.
There are six variants of the G7, G710EAW is aimed at Asia/Oceania and together with the G710EMW (64GB/8GB single-sim version of your variant) the only one that doesn't support at least two of the TMob LTE bands.
Sorry, hope you'll find a nice replacement

This is what I was afraid of. But I specifically purchased this model because it had the 128gb, the extra 2gb RAM, and dual-sim....I'll have to research if this is available in one of the models you mentioned but so far I've only seen the 64gb with single sim so I guess I'll have to find a new model. Thanks for the info.

I have the G710EAW and it most CERTAINLY supports bands 2 and 4.
It's even labeled DIRECTLY on the box itself.
Don't get your information from the LG website. The site only shows which bands are used IN THAT REGION, not what is supported by hardware.

This is what I was afraid of. But I specifically purchased this model because it had the 128gb, the extra 2gb RAM, and dual-sim....I'll have to research if this is available in one of the models you mentioned but so far I've only seen the 64gb with single sim so I guess I'll have to find a new model. Thanks for the info.

Don't believe everything you hear on the internet. Bands 2 and 4 are supported.
These are the bands supported by the G710EAW.
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900
WCDMA: 850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100
TD-SCDMA: 1900/2000
LTE: B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B12/B13/B17/B20/B28/B38/B39/B40/B41
If a band is NOT supported, trying to select it will show "FAIL" in the engineering menu.
Example: band 25 is shown, but not supported. This will show FAIL.
It was the international LG G6 which had problems with T-mobile, as Band 2 was not supported (shown in service menu, if you select it it shows 'FAIL'.)
I sold one of these phones (I had 2) to a T-mobile user and he's happy.
I have also the 128 GB lg g7 eaw version. My phone shows 4g also. The speed test i have done is 60mbps both up and down and i am ok with that.
What is the diffrence between 4g and 4g lte? Should it display lte?
P. S. My operator is having lte in band 1 and 38 and are supported by the phone. Also band 2 and 4 are available and both connected with succes...

My G710EAW shows 4G+. Uaing Net10 on band 2 which uses tmobile's servers. I think each and every person here needs to stop crying wolf. Seriously.
If the US version shows LTE and the international version shows 4G+ I mean who cares if its the same damn thing?

4G+ is another name for LTE-A, LTE-Advanced or 4.5G and it’s basically a faster version of 4G. It works through carrier aggregation, which allows 4G phones to receive data from multiple bands in the 4G spectrum.
So while standard 4G only uses one band at a time, 4G+ can combine two bands for increased speeds. In EE’s case it’s the 1800MHz and 2.6GHz bands which are being combined

Thx man!
I also knew that 4g = lte. It seems that here are a lot of fake techs.

The information is from gsmarena. They have been spot on with this kind of information the last times I checked. However, it seems like they're off with the G7. I just compared my variant with their information and it's off as well. Thanks for catching this!
So in that case I can only think of one reason why the OPs phone would not connect to TMobile 4G: the network in your area is using bands that are not supported by your G7. However, this is quite unlikely, since these would be 66/71. From what I read, they have only been introduced in 2017.
