Hi Everyone,
I am looking to get a G Flex and have seen a good deal on one but the issue is that I am on wind mobile which uses the 1700/2100 aws Band 4, the phone I am looking at is a Rogers LGD950G, which from the specs says it supports Band 4 but only LTE. I have seen that some phones that support LTE Band 4 work on Wind Mobile/T-mobile.
Basically my question is if I get the LGD950G and unlock it will I be able to use it on Wind Mobile?

I'm thinking of getting a moto x for my wife. She is currently on straight talk (ATT version), and I'm trying to move us to T-Mobile or one of it's MVNOs. Either way, I will be buying a contract-free device.
Now the million dollar question is, will the color-friendly ATT version work well on T-Mobile's frequencies? And will the non-colored Tmobile one work with ATT frequencies?

I have the AT&T variant working on T-Mobile fine. Edge, 4G, 4G LTE. I don't see 3G in my area at all even on my GS4.
the AT&T version XT1058 , doesnt have support for AWS bands on HSPA + . So no 1700/2100 HSPA+ 4G or 3G.
a lot of areas have 1900 mhz HSPA+ t-mobile now, so you'd still be able to get on that, or T-Mobile LTE. the only moto-x that supports the AWS HSPA+ t-mobile bands, is the xt1053 one

Thanks sleepy guy, I needed some model numbers to use as a reference. we live in a refarmed area (DC). I seem to have had much better luck, at getting reception with my 1700 friendly nexus4, than my wife does with her international s3.
That is why I ask. So Is it safe to assume, that the xt1053 should be able to get pepper reception on both att and tmobile frequencies?

yes the xt1053 should be able to get basically any band at&t OR t-mobile use in the US.
i think the 32GB GSM dev edition is also an XT1053.
So the AT&T Moto X supports band 4 LTE? I'm in Chicago which is pretty well covered in LTE I might just buy the AT&T version for T-Mobile use if that's the case.

yes it supports band 4.
i actually returned my XT1053 t-mobile edition. i noticed it had some cosmetic defects like a scrape on the bottom from someone having dropped it, and a few imperfections in the plastic.
$660 (with tax) for american crappy manufacturing. went on ebay and bought an XT1058 for puerto rico (claro wireless) and they range in price from $500 to 550 ish (white ones seem to be cheaper).
anyway, i guess the XT1058 from canada / puerto rico are unlockable bootloaders. the puerto rico ones i know have no carrier branding or apps, and are made in china and i've heard they have better quality control. even the one ifixit took apart , which was an american one had a defect on it.
As long as you live in a refarmed area, you should be fine. I'm in an area that isn't refarmed yet, so all I get is edge on my AT&T variant X.
My understanding in talking with both T-Mobile and Moto is that both the T-Mobile variant and the GSM Dev Edition should book work in unfarmed areas as well.
Ok..so does 4.4.2 finally give us AWS on verizon? Need it badly here in NYC. Delay is activating this band is ridiculous

4.4 on my Verizon Dev X appears to give me AWS LTE... I say that because I get LTE signal when using my T-Mobile USA SIM in my X. And T-Mobile supports Band 4, not Band 13.

4.4 VZ Dev Ed gives me band 4 LTE with a TMo SIM. Have yet to try it since flashing a EU 4.4.2 file (kept my 4.4 VZ radios, so I can't imagine it would change much, but Play Store recognizes my device as XT1052 now, which I find funny).
What app do you use to check the band?

I have nothing that will display the LTE Band. I would love to find one that does.
For me, its process of Elimination.. VZW X initially supported LTE Band 13, which T-mobile doesn't support. T-Mobile does support LTE Band 4, which is the only other VZW LTE Band. (VZW lists Band 13 and 4 on their page for the X). Since I get LTE with my T-Mobile SIM it must be LTE band 4.
If you get T-Mobile LTE in any device, it supports AWS LTE, period.
I understand the process of elimination but on my SGS3 it would give me a band number (Band 13 in my case) but my Moto X gives me no band number. Is there a way to find out what band it is actually connected to?

As far as I know, no, not on vanilla Android. I also own a Galaxy S4 and what you're talking about is integrated into TouchWiz.
The Moto X used to tell you what Band it was on...this was prior to the Kitkat update. After that, I have been unable to find an app that tells me what band it is using. If anyone else has ideas, let me know. (BTW I am not rooted.)
Hi,
I bought unlocked lg g flex d958 and now I'm using tmobile 4g network. The problem is my phone does not work with lte network. I only get EDGE. I live in Michigan, USA. I really appreciate is someone can help me. I've done a lot of research and readings about this.
First of all, some threads suggest to do the band selection. The code 5457#*958# does not work with this phone. The hidden menu code is 3845#*958# works with this phone. Unfortunately, when I try to select band selection, I can mark the band selection but there is now way to save it. I click "back" and return to band selection and it returns to normal.
Guy, did you buy the worse model to use with t-mobile
3G Frequency in T-Mobile 1900
HSDPA 900 / 2100 - D958
4G Frequency in T-Mobile 1700/2100
LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600 - D958
Then, to you, just 2G Edge conection
There is no solution, is a hardware restriction
Been looking at the radio specs on this ( compared to HTC One) and it seems the GSM/UTS and LTE bands/frequency are all the same except for one of the LTE. The 800Mhz uses band 20 while the HTC One uses band 18. The 1800Mhz and 2600Mhz match.
Would this preclude it from working on Sprint?

Please see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/help/verions-p7-t2838058
It shows the different versions of the P7 for use in different countries.
I don't think it will work at all on Sprint, as Sprint is a CDMA network.
Also -- again -- My understanding -- is that the Chinese CDMA (TD-SCDMA) is an entirely and completely different thing (different frequencies, different protocols) than the US Sprint/Verizon CDMA. The P7-L00 would not have 4G at all (and spotty or no 3G) in the US.
For the P7-L10 ("International Version") it would work as follows:
It will work as a basic 2G phone on AT&T or T-Mobile in the US.
It should work on AT&T or T-Mobile 3G in some areas, but since it is only quad band - (No 850MHz band - Not penta band) it may not work in all areas.
4G LTE will not work on AT&T or T-Mobile, or on any provider I know of in the US.
AT&T uses Band 17(700Mhz), Band 5(850Mhz), Band 2(1900Mhz), Band 4(1700/2100Mhz)
T-Mobile uses (apparently) only Band 4(1700/2100Mhz)
The P7-L10 uses LTE: B1/B3/B7/B8/B20
No overlap means no 4G at all.
There is supposed to be a P7-L16 international version that may have different 3G/4G bands, but apparently it has not shipped yet, or at least I do not know where to buy one.
Note, however that it does have WiFi, so as long as you do not mind paying a premium for 4G LTE that will not work at all, you'll have plenty of data connectivity as long as you have WiFi available.
Hope that this helps. This is what I have found in my research, as I would really like to buy one of these phones, but as mentioned, I cannot see paying the price these phones sell for, and then have no 4G at all.
Those in the know, or who have one in the US, please comment/correct.
Hi All,
I have a Moto X 2014 Retail UK Version, XT1092 is the model number, i would be moving to the US in some time will my moto x work without any issues in the US operators with 4G and all,

It should work with either AT&T or T-mobile in the US, but I think the LTE bands are different, so HSPA+ is the best you would do. My wife uses a Moto G on T-mobile HSPA+ and I can't tell a difference between data speed for her and my Moto X on LTE during regular use. Cheapest option (assuming only you on the contract) is probably a T-mobile pre-paid SIM. There is a plan from their website with loads of data, but only 100 min of voice per month for $30. They have several other options.
Not knowing how long you will be here, selling your phone and getting a US Pure model (will also work when you go back to UK) might be the best option.
Mine is a network unlocked Moto x in the UK, and i would be relocating permanently to the US, but dont want to sell off this one and get a new one in US. Was checking if there is any way to get the LTE bands enabled in the US or any network provider who uses similar of most of the LTE bands supported by the UK edition and will manage on 3G for the other duration.
