Yes I read that last week, but I did a live chat with Samsung support on Tuesday the 13th and was told it would not support band 71 after being told the week before it would. I have been told 2 or 3 times it would not support band 71 and told about 2 or 3 times it would support band 71, I Made several phone calls and live chat with Samsung support over the past 3 weeks. So, I just wanted to let those know the supported bands that I saw in the hidden menu when I received my phone today.

Thanks uzupan. Did you put in an existing sim card, or get a new one for your S9? Trying to figure out if I will need to get a new one, or if I can use my old iPhone 6 sim....

Yes, I found that out.

With this service mode have you tried selecting band 71 to make it the default? I've tried this on my Galaxy S6 and only band 4 of my available bands on this phone was active in my area. If I selected any other band then I had no service at all. So went back to automatic and left it there.

Enable CA

hello,
I have Tmobile Galaxy Note 3 and would like to know if there is a way to enable carrier aggregation?
I really need this feature because I am headed to South Korea and Australia for 3 months on my research business trip. All carriers in those countries use Carrier Aggregation and in order to have service, I would need a device with carrier aggregation. I don't want to purchase another phone cause my phone is working fine.
Also, I have checked with the major carriers in those use bands compatible with my phone. I also know that Note 3 has snapdragon 800 3rd generation gobi LTE modem that supports this. So is there a way to enable that feature?
Anyone?
There is a way. I have a T-Mobile Note 3 and I've done it, though T-Mobile doesn't use CA yet, so I have no way to test it. Also, just so you know, Carrier Aggregation cannot combine any 2 LTE frequencies; it's specific pairs, like Band 2 and Band 17.
Anyways, my instructions are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57178013&postcount=80

Thank you so much! I will look into it. T-Mobile does have carrier aggregation in Dallas, TX and Atlanta,GA, binding band 2 and band 4.
Just a minor change btw, you have to choose REL 10 if you didn't. It's actually not optional. Let me know if it works, because there's no CA here in NYC
The way to check if it's working is if you dial the same dialer code after that and go to Basic Information -> As Information.
If you see "CA Enabled but Not Configured", it means it's turned on on the phone, but not the towers you're connected to. If you see "CA Setting Wrong", do the steps over and turn on LTE REL 10. Otherwise, if it's on and working, you should see two frequencies listed. There are pictures on the next page in that thread showing what it looks like.

Holy crap! It works! That's awesome! That's Band 1800 (Band 3) and Band 700 MHz (Band 17). Sorry, I just have one last question (I promise). This is 100% the SM-900T (T-Mobile US model?). What modem/baseband (Settings -> About Phone)?

Baseband is N900TUVUNENK3 running Android 4.4.2. I haven't rooted either.

Any way of discovering if the Zenfone 2 has band 12 capabilities?

There are a small amount of phones that have band 12 support through updates. Their respective specifications usually don't include band 12 support, though looking around states band 12 support can be enabled via an update.
way t
Currently, the zenfone 2 states no band 12 support. Is there any way of looking into the phone itself to see if it has band 12 capabilities? Crossing my fingers for this, as this phone is super slick and powerful for an awesome price, and as a T-mobile user, lack of band 12 support is the only thing holding this phone back from purchase. most current band 12 capable phones are either lackluster in features, or too expensive.

Hey! Are you in an area that doesn't support T-Mobile 1700/2100 MHz AWS (band 4)?
I think i read somewhere on the tmobile forum, they use main band 4 and 2 being implemented.
Zenfone 2 supports both, I just got mine US version today and the LTE is working for me.

i live and travel between stockton, CA; Sacramento, CA; and Tracy, CA. signal is OK for the most part, though in some areas it leaves a bit to be desired. Currently using a Nexus 5. Through the LTE discovery app I know my phone typically picks up band 4. not sure about band 2. There are some indoor areas like buildings that aren't all that great on tmobile in my area. my local best buy for instance instantly drops to low signal the second i step in the store, even though right outside is full bars. driving along the freeway in certain areas deem little to now signal sometimes as well.
I'm not here to complain about my tmobile service. Just trying to ensure future proofing of my phone purchase hoping that band 12 would improve those situations.

If your a legitimate Asus rep, then that is a bummer the lack of band 12 support. I've already been to those pages and checked again. I just wanted to see if band 12 was possibly hidden somehow, as it seemed to be the case with a 2-3 other handsets since theyre only activated via software updates.
Thanks for the replying.
I am confused, it looks like the USA version does do Band 12

Nah man, he/she is just stating those are the frequencies T-Mobile operate on, not frequencies of Zenfone 2 itself. See the link right above it for the zenfone 2 supported band list.
That would be nice though. I've already read several sites stating that it does not support band 12. The point of my post was to find out if there was any way to find out on the device itself (via owners of a Zenfone 2) to see if it was somehow hidden in there. Specs for the Galaxy Avant, Xperia X3, and the ZTE Zmax I don't think initially listed band 12 support in their specs, but now supposedly they will have it enabled via their respective software updates. I was crossing my fingers hoping a similar thing would happen with the Zenfone 2.

Clearly the phone itself supports the 700 freq (Band 17) which is also where Band 12 operates. Does that require a hardware change? I dunno.
http://www.tmonews.com/2015/03/t-mobile-could-gain-from-atts-band-17-and-band-12-lte-network-interoperating/
US variant of ZE551ML does support Band 12. The LTE Discovery app revealed I was on Band 12 while using the T-Mobile service in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Going east from there, I was on Band 4 or 2, but then again, T-Mobile's rollout is just starting in Southern California.
That's really interesting Armchair. Band 12 is NOT listed anywhere in Asus' specs. I wonder if the latest OTA update kicked it in? Do you know what firmware you're running? B12 support is the only thing holding me back from the Zfone.

When I bought the phone from Amazon on June 25, 2015, Band 12 was listed in the US spec. Otherwise I would not have bought it at all because I wanted that availability. Now that I go back to the Amazon product page to get a screenshot, I see the entry has been altered to remove Band 12. However, today I'll make a trip to Rancho Cucamonga (not far from me, really), and screenshot the LTE Discovery screen when it shows the phone connecting to Band 12. (Pics or GTFO, right? )
Box Codes:
ZE551ML, BLACK, LTE,D
INTEL MRF Z3580(2.3Ghz),4G,64GB EMMC
ANDROID US,5.5" 5M/13M,N/A
Other notes of reference: When the phone arrived, the firmware was WW 2.18.40.12. I OTA updated to 2.19.40.18 then rooted (using Method 3) and unlocked the bootloader. Did not remove any system apps nor install any custom recovery. I have OTA updated twice since then, keeping root and unlocked bootloader. Currently at WW 2.19.40.22, under which I can connect to Band 12 towers. Did not tinker with the telephony settings or make any other unauthorized changes other than rooting and unlocking the bootloader.
So Asus snuck in support for Band 12 in a firmware update? Very nice Asus. Very nice indeed.

Screenshot taken near the intersection of Foothill Blvd & I-15 in California. LTE Discovery app showing connected to T-Mobile on a Band 12 tower using the ZenFone 2 (ASUS_Z00AD).
I've asked both TMO & Asus for confirmation. TMO basically said since it's not "native" it's not something they can confirm as working or not. Asus has yet to respond to my query period.
UPDATE: Got a reply from Asus. AsusUSA support on Twitter said they are unable to find any substantial data to verify Band 12 support for TMO.

Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Loyalty. Currently there is no support for this band and no confirmation if it will be added in the future.
I believe it is limited in the hardware. Unfortunately it's not supported.​
So looks no Zenfone 2 for me any time soon. What an OTA unsupported update can give, it can also take away.

On .90 I was able to connect to B12 in the same spot as before as well as other locations around Rancho Cucamonga but I didn't take a screenshot of the LTE Discovery app for proof as a few threads here and in other forums have made it clear that T-Mobile will not support B12 on non-branded (read: noncustomized firmware) phones. Since then, the display has developed the infamous lines and fading issues as recorded by others and I have RMA'd the phone. Using a branded burner phone until all is resolved.
Damn looks like the issue is lack of support for volte.

So the repaired phone has returned to me and I've regained my stride. (Physical part was replaced and not a word about the unlocked bootloader.) Went back to that intersection today and took a screenshot of LTE Discovery just for you.

Rooted & bootloader unlocked.

OnePlus 3 USA Variant in Australia

Hi All,
Paranoid purchaser here of the new oneplus 3, using a freight forwarder via USA to Australia (comgateway), i have used them before and they are very efficient, purchased oneplus 1 and the oneplus 2.
looking at this : http://willmyphonework.net/ , it looks like it will work here, only missing band 28 700mhz,
any1 else going this route? i do know there were work around to enable further lte bands on the oneplus 1 and 2
i didnt have a issue getting reception with either of those handsets,
any info is greatly appreciated

Both handsets previously had band 28 . If you use Telstra or Optus then dont buy! Band 28 very important for great 4g coverage with great speeds.
Not buying just for that reason. The way to enable the band 28 is very hard or non existent. Good luck either way.

Australian frequencies vs. OnePlus frequencies
From what I can find;
The frequencies used in Australia are;
from whirlpool . net . au / wiki / mobile_phone_frequencies
optus: 1, 3, 7, 28, 40, 42
telstra: 1, 3, 7, 8, 28
Vodafone: 3, 5
NBN: 40, 42 (42 is currently in trials)
The frequencies the various models of OnePlus 3 use are;
from oneplus . net / global / 3 / specs
US Model: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17
EU/Asia Model: 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 38, 40, 41
China Model: 1, 3, 7, 38, 39, 40, 41
Looks to me like the EU will be the best option, then Chinese, and US last.

T-Mobile - Band 12 and VOLTE

So I see that the OnePlus 3 is listed as supporting Band 12 LTE and it looks like the OnePlus 2 did as well (this would be my first OP device). From what I saw though, the OP2 did not support VOLTE on T-Mobile at launch. How did Band 12 support work then, since I believe T-Mobile requires devices to support VOLTE to use Band 12? And does the OP3 support both?
Yes it does support both

Since the Oneplus 3 is an unlocked phone and T-Mobile is one of several carriers that uses Band 12, they can't force Oneplus to disable/remove Band 12 from the phone, so Band 12 will be supported.
Additionally, per the recent AMA thread from Oneplus, the phone is capable of voLTE.
However, what T-Mobile CAN (and almost certainly will) do is prevent the Oneplus Three from being registered as a supported voLTE device on their network until Oneplus completes their costly/time-consuming voLTE certification.
What this basically means is that until OnePlus jumps through T-Mobile's certification hoops, we'll be able to use Band 12 for data, but as soon as we make/receive a call, we'll be kicked down to H or H+ (assuming we have the coverage).

While I understand that they can't force it, the US models of the Nexus 5x and Moto X Pure launched with Band 12 disabled and only received it in a later update.

The Oneplus 2 was reported to have worked on Band 12 the way I previously mentioned more than a month before the Nexus 5X's release date, and Oneplus still lists Band 12 support for the North American Oneplus 3 on their website.
T-Mobile was also happy to sell you the T-Mobile version of the 5X which was certified for band 12.
Additionally, Band 12 is not as much of a T-Mobile monopoly as it was last year. AT&T just started transitioning to Band 12 last fall, announcing in their status update report to the FCC early last October “many of our devices have been sold with Band 12 filters and can be upgraded via software to support Band 12. We will begin the process of transitioning to Band 12 late in 2015 and / or early 2016.”
All things considered, it would make no sense for Oneplus to disable Band 12 this year.

Is there a model of the g7 that will work well on at&t?

I'm on red pocket for the next year with At&t and would like to pickup a g7. Since they are not releasing a At&t varaint, anyone know if another model will work well, ie support most of lte bands? I'm struggling to find info. Thanks!
LG-G710UL Which is the unlocked variant. Don't know if it's available for purchase yet but that's what I'm using for work and AT&T sim works without issue on LTE.

Can't get it yet.
B&H says July.
ok, thanks fellas, I guess I will wait for them to release LTE bands supported for this device.
,I have a dual sim LM-G710EMW I bought on eBay and it’s working perfectly on AT&T and supports all bands

Please can you kindly make a screenshot of it on att and do a speedtest internet speed on the app?i appreciate it.
Because I asked 5 sellers on ebay on this model and they said it is not fully compatible and no return with regards to bands not compatible.
I have the LM-G710TM (T-Mobile) unlocked and have 4G LTE according to the status bar logo using the Nxtgen APN

WiFi calling does not work on the TM version...at least on the stock TMo software from what I've seen

I had to have ATT properly provision my phone by calling tech support. At first when I setup the phone it provisioned VoLTE but not the other services. I was able to check *#*#4636#*#* to see WiFi Calling wasn't provisioned until we formally updated the IMEI.
Unlike previous HTC devices where I had to spoof another device IMEI in order to activate services like VoLTE and HDVoice but still didn't get WiFiCalling, this time everything turned on like butter. I get seamless call transfer from WiFi to Network as well.
I did install "Carrier Services" from the play store but I think that is more for RCS and Project Fi support.
Well I got the 710ulm. It was 3g only for a day or two, then Lte kicked in once redpocket servers realized I switch phones. So far so good something about 80mb download speed for $18/month makes me happy.

Did U buy it from B&H? There is one thing that bothers me.. LTE Band 12. Does this phone really have it?
On official LG page for unlocked model G7 Thinq it says: LTE Bands 2/4/5/7/13/20/28/46/66
OTOH B&H says: LTE: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 20, 25, 26, 28, 40, 41, 46, 48, 66 Bands
So where is the true?
I want a black model to use on T-Mobile (they do not offer black model) and Band 12 is really important.
Can U or someone else who has this model (LMG710ULM) confirm Band 12? TIA

Purchased from BestBuy. B+H didn't have theirs yet.
No idea on Band 12. I'm on ATT and it works without issue with advanced services.
If it's a mission critical need for you, reach out to LG directly to confirm. That way it's not speculation, but actual fact.
