4G+ or not - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

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

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...

[Q] Extreme slow speeds, anyone else have the same issue?

Hi! New and proud owner of the new LG G3! Been using Samsung Galaxy from the first Galaxy to the S4. Thought I should Level Up Actually, tired of them.
Anyway, very satisfied, but I get extreme slow speeds with my G3. With my S4 I get around 30-40Mbit on 4G. I've never even seen the 4G icon on the G3. And my speeds are insanly slow. 0.97Mbit down and 0.06Mbit up!
Check out my Ookla Speedtest result. What's your speed? http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/887050990
Is there any new or other modem I can try?
I've been looking around but it's a fresh phone, so I guess there aren't so much to get a hold on atm?
I have the International model of the D855, 32Gb/3Gb ram
.
I live in Sweden, using Telenor. Never had any problems before.

Potentially need to flash the right firmware onto your device, is yours currently V10A-EUR.XX? if so, maybe have alook in the general thread for euro regions (or even your carrier fw)

Here's mine hsdpa only while syncing in the background, you should check if it's provider related or if it's your device.

I know AT&T told me i need to call them when I get the phone to update my IMEI # or whatever to ensure proper data speeds. Maybe you need to do that for your particular carrier?

According to this, your device supports Telenor (owned by Net4Mobility) - I'd suggest giving them a call to see if 4G/LTE needs activated.
Try to change Sim. I had the same problem
Inviato dal mio HTC One_M8 utilizzando Tapatalk
Attached is my speedtest on HSDPA+.
Your slow speeds are not normal, could be your SIM or maybe the current modem is not ideal for Telenor.
If I were you I would try a different SIM first.
Did you set your APN according to your carrier?
I am getting super slow speeds too. They told me to take the phone back and get it replaced. They said that its an issue with some of the new G3s.

Is the Verizon branded HTC 10 Unlocked?

I canceled my unlocked pre order that i was going to use on my AT&T account when they told me end of May early June before it ships. I was wondering is the Verizon branded one fully functional out the box for att like a lot of their other phones are? If so just gonna go in and buy one for 648
I don't think it is. The T-Mobile one probably is, though.

It indeed is unlocked. I have access to a cricket sim. I put the sim in, the phone informed me that it wasn't a verizon sim. I cleared the message, entered the cricket apn and indeed it worked. I am able to place phone calls and surf the web. Signal is HSPA, so maybe the radios are different???
All Verizon LTE devices are sim unlocked I believe

I stand corrected. This is awesome news as I have to purchase mine through BestBuy, and currently all they have are Verizon and Sprint.
I was to they'd receive unlocked but who knows.

IT is sim unlocked, but you will be limited using it on GSM networks, some features will behave wonky, and it will be missing some bands. Buy an unlocked one.
As far as teh bootloader.........maybe soon

I really want the Verizon HTC 10, I have the LG G4 on VZW now which to this day still doesn't have bootloader unlocked and I hate that. I will wait to see if the VZW HTC 10 can have its bootloader unlocked so I can finally go back to having a customer recovery and ROMs.
For Verizon HTC 10 can unlock GSM....
Ho about LTE unlocked?
Its support LTE Band such LTE band 3 and 8?
Thanks

Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Global (9.6.7.0) Freedom Mobile LTE?

Hello
I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with the Global version the Mi Max 3. Did i make a mistake of purchasing a Freedom Mobile LTE incompatible phone? Or it should be asking myself whether this is really the Global Version?
Boot-loader seems locked, box in proper English with UK adapter, that makes me think its the Global version.
When i put my sim card in Data works, SMS works, but no phone calls in or out, even tho in the Network options Freedom is fully detected as the HOME network.
Any ideas?
For more details see image:

I bought one exactly the same, in the same version of global Miui (9.6.7.0) and had no problem at all. In the box that came your device is written on the side "global version"?

No, I'm in Brazil and here are other operators. These are the bands that the unit has:
2G bands GSM 850/900/1800/1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2
CDMA 800 & TD-SCDMA
3G bands HSDPA 850/900/1900/2100
4G bands - LTE band 1 (2100), 3 (1800), 4 (1700/2100), 5 (850), 7 (2600), 8 (900), 20 (800), 34 (2000), 38 (2600 ), 39 (1900), 40 (2300), 41 (2500)
See if your operator has the machine's bands.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news my friend but yes, you did just buy a phone incompatible with Freedom Mobile as I just did the same lol. Yes, messaging and data does work but you'll never get phone calls to work. I was wondering if it was worth sticking with Freedom anyways because of the deals but in the end I decided to switch over to Fido which works fine with the Mi Max 3. Also the version I have is def the Global Version (9.6.7.0) as I checked on the official website.

Haha yeah closure def makes things easier to handle. Tbh the phone is good enough that if you don't make a lot of phone calls it's still worth it but the problem for me is that in order to unlock your bootloader you need to get permission from Xiaomi. In order to get permission you need to have your device linked with your Mi Account. And in order to to that a confirmation text has to be sent (think Whatsapp). However, even tho you can send a text normally this automatic one fails to send on the Freedom network. So basically if you want to do any rooting whatsoever you'll need a SIM from somewhere like Rogers or Fido which ended up being the deciding factor for me aha.
If you have no plans on rooting then you should be fine :good:
Your phone should connect on LTE band 4 with Freedom Mobile. Mine connects flawlessly on LTE bands 4 and 7 with Telus.

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.

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..
