I'm currently using the AT&T H810 on Cricket Wireless and am wondering how to get the data to work with this Verizon variant. I can make calls when I put my Cricket SIM card in, but I get no data. Any ideas or anyone already get this working? Thanks!
Did you change the APN settings? Also, AT&T uses LTE bands: 2, 4, 5, and 17 primarily. The Verizon G4 doesn't have band 17. so you are not going to get very good coverage in buildings or at far distances from the tower.

I didn't but I think cricket did it remotely when I put the SIM card in, how do I check? Also is it possible to unlock band 17? I've seen posts here and there talking about unlocking different bands on variants which don't have them unlocked by default. Thanks.

I know I had to put the APN settings in myself when using a T-Mobile SIM. I would Google "Cricket APN Settings" and then go to the settings on your phone (under more I believe), and edit the APN. You can't unlock band 17 unfortunately.

Yeah, why can't we unlock band 17? I tried using a few methods listed where you write to the NV ITEMS and enable all kinds of bands, but it still didn't work. I only got LTE when I force it via a hidden menu setting, but then I couldn't make or receive any calls. I get HSPA and HSPA+ but that's it and there's a constant icon in the notification bar of a white sim card with a question mark on it...!?

Because the phone doesn't support it. You can't unlock bands that the phone doesn't have to begin with.

When I tested with my Cricket SIM card calls just worked. I didn't have to do anything. However as you mentioned I had to manually update the APN to get data working.

Not sure. All i know is when I put my t-mobile sim in mine I only get edge no 3G as I do know the bands for HSPA are not there but not sure about LTE
I had my att g pro on tmobile and got lte, when i get home i will put the tmobile sim card in and get the apn i use. That's all i did last time (insert sim and put apn manually)

I only got edge at first too but I know I live in a refarmed 1900 MHz area so I went under settings to network operators and searched networks manually and chose tmobile rat:14 when it gave me my options. Now I get 4g umts- hspap. I use wifi while home and after I leave sometimes it will revert back to edge. I went into the hidden menu but I didn't see how to select band prefence anywhere so im lost on how to get lte to work.
I know at&t and tmobile use the same lte band I just cant figure out how to select it to make it work. Try selecting setting>networks>tethering and networks>mobile networks>network operators>search networks. A few different tmobile ones should pop up with rat:2 rat:3 and rat:14 underneath. When I selected rat:2 it only stayed on edge but all other options gave me 4g.Hope that helps to at least get you 4g working.

Ok that would be great if you can post the complete apn your using. I have the fast.t-mobile but maybe another part of mine is incorrect...
I am pretty sure for LTE to work on T mobile, you have to make sure the apn is set to fast.tmobile.com. Your Sim might be setting it to the default epc.tmobile.com, which will only give you HSPA+.

I tried but it doesn't have the option to change the network mode. I actually just edited my build.prop to enable network mode under settings and it worked!!! I finally got lte by choosing lte/wcdma option. When all the options appeared my lte appeared to be shut off .So all I had to do was turn it back on. Huge thanks to MrDSL for the help.
After changing my network mode to lte wcdma my phone kept saying roaming notification off at the top of the status bar and all I could use was data ( lte at least) and wouldn't make calls and the network mode menu actually disappeared. So after putting in a at&t sim card and rebooting my phone about 20 times the network mode menu popped back up and allowed me to change my preference to gsm/wcdma/lte and luckly its working perfect now.
I have a g pro on tmobile but for some reason theres a few places where I don't get 4g or lte and the phone loosses signal for a min or two then I get E is this happening to someone else ?

I am trying to SIM Unlock my LG G Pad 8.3 Model VK810 that is Verizon and should come factory unlock I believe. I need this to be used on AT&T LTE which I have a sim card for and a tablet plan on the shared data plan.
It is on 4.2.2 baseband is m9615a-cefwtazm
I tried adding some ATT APN settings I found, but that did not help me. I think I need to Change it to GSM From CDMA somehow? I am not really sure. I can update and root if needed or whatever I need to do. I also have a samsung z3x box, but dont think it will work on the LG.
Any help would really help me out! Thank you in advance.

As it seems you are comfortable messing with your APN settings that should be all you will need to do. The device is locked to specific wireless frequencies but luckily for you at &t uses the same LTE frequencies. You will need to have root access in order to write your APN settings though, check the forums for information on that. Finally make sure that the sim you have is compatible with your tablet data plan, and your APN settings should be as follows for mobile data only.
APN: BROADBAND
MCC: 310
MNC: 410

I do not, I am sure you will find something if you look around. The V500 and V510 methods are not compatible. There is a method for yours though along with a custom recovery in the works. You may even have a custom rom in the near future.
P.S. this topic belongs in Q/A and not development.

From researching it looks like it will work with the VK810.

But there are no custom roms that I have found yet.
So, I should Root this and then change the APN settings to what you told me and my ATT SIM would work?

I haven't read much about i0root but it looks like it will work. Now the next part is not certain weather or not it will work, but I have seen tablets able to run on other networks that are unlocked. As long as Verizon did not implement any extra protection you should be able to use an at&t sim that is enabled for tablet data.
Once you are rooted go pick up es file explorer and navigate to /system/etc/apns-conf.xml . Make sure that before you change anything that you make a copy and name it something else so you can find it again if you have to go back. Open the file using the text editor. You can get rid of the other apns and just put your new one in there and give it a reboot. It should kick right on after you reboot. Good luck!

I have installed a T-Mobile SIM card in my LG GPad 8.3 LTE so I could get the free gig of data they offer existing customers. It worked without rooting. All I did was add a new APN with the proper T-Mobile settings and I was able to surf. Did it right there at the T-Mobile store with the rep to verify it would work before I added the data line to my account.

Thx for the tip. The tablet is set to LTE mode and since T-Mobile LTE has the same band with Verizon LTE. It definitely works on T-Mobile.
For AT&T, no luck even if rooted. I used Radio Switcher app to go to the Tablet Info in Testing Mode. But it displays error message "This application does not work on this device".

Vk810 supports lte bands 4(aws) and 13 (700mhz block c), bands that Verizon uses
T-Mobile uses band 4 for lte mainly, will use band 2 (1900) and 12 (700 MHz block a) in the future as well. Vk810 will work on T-Mobile wherever tmobile has LTE right now (with band 4)
Att uses band 4, 2 (1900), 17(700mhz block b) and 30(2300mhz). Vk810 will only work on att if at uses band 4. If att only used band 2 in your area, your att phone (which supports band 2) will show LTE, but vk810 won't work
I don't know if there is a map showing which bands att uses in your area. There is a spectrum map showing who owns which band in which region, but no guarantee that att has active cell sites

AT&T doesn't have band 4 everywhere.. for example, no band 4 in nyc region.... this device won't work on at&t in nyc

Hello all,
Prior to going to the US last September I had checked with my carrier (Vivo) in Brazil that the 4G-LTE frquency they use is 2.600MHz. When in the US, I managed to buy the above said device and brought home. Back home, as it was
unlocked my carrier's SIM card worked like a charm. It downloaded from the carrier's network the APN configurations and all was fine.
I went to the carrier's shop to try the 4G-LTE so I could bump up my contract. I tried the clerk's SIM card (he has 4G-LTE) and the signal icon changed from 4G to a smaller 4G with underscore LTE. But only the 3G and 2G APNs were found when searching networks manually.
I did rooted the device and removed the bloatware that came along using this xda-developers how-to.
Any idea how can I get 4G-LTE access on my device?
Thanks in advance,

I suspect your APN need modifying. Check the clerks APN settings against yours.
Your APN is set wrong. I'm not sure how to change it on the stock AT&T ROM though.

It's in the settings/tethering and networks/mobile networks/access point names. I have consumer cellular, but it leases from ATT, so it has slightly different settings, though ATT APN will work ok.

It's the same one that's everywhere online for TMO LTE, it's not device specific, in fact the same settings are used for all LTE enabled phones, even iPhones. I'd be shocked if it wasn't either the 1st or 2nd result after a Google search.
I once had Verizon Edge+, and used it on T-Mobile.
Add and use the following APN.
Name t-mobile US
apn
fast.-tmobile.com
mmsc http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile/mms/wapenc
apn type default,supl,mms
Leave all other settings as is.
For MMS to work, make sure you add "mms" in APN Type field.
Moreover, once in a while, you'll get an annoying popup saying that the sim card is not Verizon etc. If rooted, just use Titanium Backup and freeze the "activation" apk. If not rooted, use Package Disabler Pro, and the disable the aforementioned apk.
Good luck.
the issue is in you are using Verizon S6 Edge+ on Tmobile network, you can't use data while on phone call.
it doesn't pickup band 12, only works on band 4 etc, which loose the data if phone call picked up.'
is there any way around?

My note 3 did this going from verizon to tmobile. A workaround i found was to switch the network settings from 4g or global to 3g or 2g only and then make the call. Touch tone would work, then after hanging up switch network settings back to 4g or global. Hope this helps you.

Hi, I have a LG G4 H818N LTE model with dual sim running firmware v10c.
According to the mobile carrier, they support 900MHz and 2100MHz, yet I am unable to obtain 4G connection on my phone. I have enabled the option in the sim settings for "4G/3G/2G" on the SIM that I want to use for data and set that sim as the sim to use for data connection but it still only connects at H+.
Perhaps the carrier is using Cat 6 LTE. Is there a way to enable Cat 6 LTE on the H818N?
Is there a way that I can test LTE connectivity on the phone or are there perhaps any settings that I may have missed to force LTE connection?
I previously had an LG G3 D855 which connected to 4G without any issues.
Is there a file where I can manually edit the 4G bands for my phone?
Finally, slightly off topic. Can anyone explain to me what a KDZ file is?
Assistance would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
mine has a working LTE on both sim 1 and sim 2 but not simultaneously. i found out that the apn is alittle bit buggy. check your apn and set the primary.
Thanks, would you mind walking me through the steps that you followed please?

Hi all, thank you so much for the answer. I'm actually having the same problem with my LG G4 H818N. I'd be grateful if anyone can advise what kind of setting I should choose for my phone to work on Vodafone UK 4G network. I'm so frustrated to pay 4G plan but only get up to H+

Can't provide link as using xda app, but Google 'wiki Europe lte bands' and it should come up with what you want. I'm on three UK and there was two different bands to try, turned out to be band 3 for me. Hope this helps

Sorry for my late reply! I did Google however, Vodafone is on Band 20. When I choose this option, it said Fail. Is anyone know why?

Thanks. I just tried in the FieldTest -> Network Mode-> set SIM 2 to GSM 850 and try Band 20 again under the LTE Band Selection, but still Fail.
Are these steps correct?

However, I only have 1 SIM inserted at the moment. In order to change to Band 20, does it need to have 2 SIMs inserted and follow your instruction?

I'm having a similar issue with my 818N. I can't get 4G/LTE.
Has anyone worked out why or how to fix it?
The hidden menus don't allow me to select lte bands they all just say fail after I select them.
In the RAT menu I am unable to select LTE only, it also fails.
It's as if LTE is disabled?
I tried installing 818P software into the phone which worked fine however I still couldn't connect to 4G.
I give up
It turns out that my phone was faulty and I've returned it to HK for a full refund. DWI were good to deal with and were fast to refund me my money once they confirmed that it was DOA.
