I have an unlocked K10/ATT model that I was attempting to use overseas in Japan on docomo network needs one of (LTE band 1,19,21).
After checking online at some sites I have seen mixed reports if the phone supports LTE band 1 2100mhz.
The phone does not connect to carrier and the manuals for ATT version look like band 1 is not supported.
Im wondering if the hardware itself actually supports band 1 and if there is any way via firmware update or secret menu to enable it.
Appreciate any related info.

Hello. I have just bought a used telus htc m8. I live in Mexico and am on the movistar network. I can not seem to get LTE working. I only get 3G. They seem to only use LTE band 2 (1900), I check if the phone was compatible on that band before buying and it said it was, but now after investigating more I see there are different phones with different frequencies.
A couple questions:
How do I know what frequencies the telus version of the phone can pick up? I can not find any info on that version of phone.
If needed, Is it possible to flash a different radio to the phone, say at&t, which seems to support 1900?
Or am I wrong, and all gsm versions are the same? Which would mean it should pick up 1900 since it is listed in the at&t version. If that is the case what else coould I check? All obvious things have been checked: I am in an lte area, other phones around me have it. My sim is 4g. I have the wcdma lte auto option selected on the phone options, and my phone is completely updated.
I wanna buy this awesome phone from eBay and use it in my home country - Czech Republic, but there are still two things I don't know, so I'm holding off.
Can anyone, who owns the USA T-Mobile (1789-04) version, check for me, if it supports LTE band 20 (800 DD)? I scour the internet for the answer and some sites says it does, but some it doesn't.
And a lil' bit stupid question: Is there a chance, it will work locked, if I will use it with Czech Republic T-Mobile sim card?
Thank you all in advance for any answer.
as far as i can tell the T-MO variant does in fact support band 20, and the spec sheet from t-mo says the same.
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-36016
That's what I thought too, but their normal website (where you can order Moto Z2 Force online) says otherwise (can't post link):
Frequency
LTE: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13
According to this Network signal guru app, it looks like my T-Mobile version of the Z2 Force supports band 20.
Thanks for the info. I found on Reddit, that it should work like this: T-mobile only lists the ones it's network uses. If it's roaming it will use the other bands, or if you flash unlocked firmware it will be able to use those bands as well.
So according to this, the "other bands" should be listed on every phone's tech specs T-Mobile website.
Could someone who has this exact model please confirm whether or not the FDD LTE band configuration is as follows?
Apologies for inconveniencing members with such elementary questions, but I have very impaired vision and there are few MASSIVE screen phones that work in the USA within my price range. I contacted Motorola and posted in their forum to be sure of this purchase, but to no avail.
Meanwhile every seller in the USA who claims to carry the XT-2087-1 Odessa variant is posting the FDD-LTE Configuration for XT-2087-2 (which lacks B12, B17 and B66) in their specification.
The config I think it is supposed to have is:
FDD-LTE Bands: B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B7, B8, B12, B17, B28 and B66
If that is correct, why are Amazon sellers are stating that this phone cannot use Volte? I do understand that getting Volte to work on an international model might require using short codes and/or activating the Sim on a different phone before using it with the G9 Plus, or maybe rooting and a custom rom, but that's okay. Just want to make sure it's not hardware limited).
Is anyone here using this phone with ATT or T-Mobile or an ATT/TMO MVNO?
Thank you for your help!

I have that model but have no idea how to check that config
Thanks for replying. Are you using it in the USA and if you are can you tell me which carrier you are using and which LTE band is active? (Any Android app that checks network configuration can show the info).
How are you liking the phone?

No, I'm not from the US
Okay: I finally got a callback from Motorola international (who were no help at all as they referred me to the New Zealand website which is a different model).
However, the 4G LTE configuration for this exact model is listed on the Brazil website: https://www.motorola.com.br/smartphone-moto-g9-plus/p
It is as follows:
Bandas
2G - GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
3G - WCDMA 850/900/1700/1900/2100 MHz
4G - LTE B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8
/B12/B17/B28/B66
This means the only major band this phone is lacking for TMO is band 71. Yes, it is increasingly important for TMO, but even without band 71, this is one of the few Motorola Dual Sim phones to include FDD LTE 12/17 & 66.
It should be fully compatible with AT&T (except that Cricket won't permit it to use Volte on the Cricket network ... AT&T MVNOs apart from Cricket seem to be fine).
I am probably going to take a chance and order this on Amazon. I will report back on how well it works with my two ATT MVNOs --- still looking for a cheap prepaid TMO MVNO sim for testing purposes, if anybody has suggestions.

friend. save your files and try to reset it with your carrier's chip and put it later when you go into airplane mode there within 2 minutes you can take it out of airplane mode that might solve your case. Hope this helps . here always help me doing this
Hi everyone. Im wondering if this is possible for pixel 6 pro. Basically my unit is direct from us store which is G8VOU. Now im using it in Malaysia and 4g lte works fine.
Now im wondering if carrier aggregation is possible through root. Right now from what see through netmonster it can do 2ca on the same band(check screenshot). I think its aggregating two towers with the same band, i may be wrong though.
Anyone had any idea how to force enable multi band ca? The local sold phone can go up to 5ca which are mainly band 1, 3, 7 ,8. Thanks in advance.
I would also like to know
Is it not 4G+ an indication of currently using carrier aggregation?
Try to download NPerf app and click on speed test button. It will detect your carrier and mention it's currently on 4G+ or LTE-A
Another proof is below when you check in *#*#4636#*#* . Currently my Yoodo is on band 7 and band 3.
And Digi Malaysia only have 1 band which is Band 7
Digi - Malaysia - Wireless Frequency Bands and Device Compatibility
Digi (Malaysia) uses 2 GSM bands, 1 UMTS band, and 1 LTE band. Find out if your unlocked phone or mobile device will work with Digi (Malaysia)

Yes like is said. Mine is at 2ca indicated that im at TWO bands aggregated. Which is way below whats possible. Let me know if you have something that can help instead of just pointing out facts i already stated in the first post. Thanks.

I sometimes have band 3 and 8 as well. Just never 3 or 4ca at a time. Only up to 2ca max.
The modem decides aggregation.
So I've traveled to USA and the network always on EDGE
I already searched then found that LTE band of the phone not supported in USA
But I found that I can select Band mode from specific code when I tried it said band mode locked
Can any one help me
What is your model? RMX2061 or RMX2063?
If it is RMX2061, it isn't compatible with US network
@kiro_koko
And, what do you mean by "Select Band Mode"? How do you do that?
