[Radio]Enable Band 17 SMH 700Mhz LTE on Verizon XT1254 devices - Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh

The three devices designed by the Motorola using Qualcomm APQ8084 +MDM9625 platform seems shared some many design.In the /fsg partition quark share the same firmware of nexus 6,
so according to the partial RFNV already exist in XT1254,just get a filtered NV items patch to the Band 17,seems like Band 5 and WCDMA AWS either possible to do same job,but without the XT1225's calibrated QCN file,it's hard to do that.
Based on the success of using China Telecom Band 1 IMT-2100 FDD-LTE while the XT1254 just used the Nexus 6 XT1103's Band 1 RFNV patch made by Azlun,I think it's possible to using some bands that hardware DESIGNED but not CALIBRATED bands.

Using LTE Discovery to find the Band you are using
UPDATE:QCN add NV06828 LTE_BC_CONFIG

sorry to bring this up from the dead but can anyone confirm this works to pickup band 17 on att? im thinking of picking one up used and just want to confirm it does.

I can confirm, the patch is working. My phone was able to pick up AT&T band 17. I need to do more testing as band 17 signal is pretty low in my area. I can get nice band 2 signal here. See attachment.

What would be the benefit of applying this patch? Is there anything special about band 17?

For people who use AT&T and not Verizon. ATT's bands are 2, 4, 5, 17.
17 is used a lot on AT&T. If you can't pick up LTE band 17, you will drop to HSPA. While all the Quarks share LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 7, the Droid Turbo XT1254 does not have LTE band 17 which is important for AT&T.
That's why I own the Moto XT1225, which has ALL of AT&T's LTE bands.
On LTE Discovery, on my phone over the past two years:
Band 2: 186 instances
[*]Band 4: 25 instances
[*]Band 5: 14 instances
[*]Band 17: 187 instances
Even for people selling their Droid Turbo, it would make it more valuable. Even if it can't pick up LTE band 5 (which is not used that much), having LTE band 17 makes it worth more money to people who use AT&T.
__________________
The XT1225 and XT1254/XT1250 all share LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 7.
The XT1225 additionally has LTE band 5 and 17.

FCC ID IHDT56PK2

The XT1254/XT1250 instead has LTE band 13 (Verizon LTE band), plus CDMA bands. While it does have some HSPA bands, there's not as many as in the XT1225.

did you see the link is above picture?
Hum...none of the above shows me the frequencies (e.g. 850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz...etc) my phone is using...
yes you need to get sgs info.. (shortcut to dialer codes) goto
1. service menu
2. debug screen
3, basic information
it shows freqs. and updates in real time.. you can leave it on the screen
while driving around.
it will says wcdma 850 band 5 when 850 3g is working.
there is a list of all the Secret Codes on the Wiki to get into the service menu
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series
Sweet! Thanks guys!
there is a faster code
just punch in *#0011#
and you will see the band it is using
for example if you see:
WCDMA 850 band 5 (means you are on a 850 band class 5 speed/signal quality)
WCDMA 1900 band 2 (means you are on a 1900 band class 2 speed/signal quality)
So this is what my note 2 on tmo displays when putting in the code. Am I missing something or is there a way to figure out the frequency from any of that.

T-Mo Note a world phone?

Sorry if this has been answered, but i w as just wondering, is the Note considered a world phone? Can I go south of the border by a Sim Card and work out of the box?

It's a quad band phone with world gsm networks capabilities. But it's locked for only tmo Sims unless you unlock it then it's free to any gsm carriers

No prob. If you have had TMobile for a while you can hit them up and say your traveling and they'll unlock your phone for free lol that's what I do... Takes around two to three days for them to send you an unlock code

Been with them for a long time now, will definitely look into that.

AT&T note is pentaband, not quad band and im very much confident that its the same hardware on tmobile note, so it should be pentaband too. which means yes it is fully a world phone not just partially.

Tmobile LTE works on unlocked

I had been trying a bunch of things to get LTE to work on my tmobile prepaid plan with my unlocked one. It looks like it has finally started but I am not sure of the band.
Is there a way to check the band? Is the one capable of getting LTE on tmobile on a band other than 1700? Some screenshots below.

Yes, the unlocked edition should get LTE from TMO when it is available in your area. The signal you posted is refarmed 1900 bands, which is limited to 21 download.
LTE will have "4G" on the top line with a small "LTE" underneath.
EDIT: I just realized the speeds you are showing. That is almost certainly LTE. I guess the non TMO phones don't have the icon I described.

Thanks. How do you find out if it is the 1900 band? I was really surprised to see Network Type: LTE on the first screenshot. If I am on to something here, I would really reconsider rebooting the phone and backing it up as is.

On TMO, by the speed connection. As I noted earlier, TMO 1900 maxes out at 2100.
You are not "on to" anything here; the unlocked phone is completely capable of TMO LTE from the factory. It is the AWS bands that are being sought by many folks here at XDA.
I saw your Icon on the original post and misread that as reframed rather than LTE. Until I double checked your screen grab!
T-Mobile's LTE runs on AWS 1700/2100 or Band 4 which the developer one supports. What everyone wants is the AWS HSPA+ band to work on the developer/AT&T One.
The t-mobile version does show 4G with the small LTE underneath.

[Q] Turbo on Cricket

Looking at leaving Verizon. Old threads have said the att/Cricket sim can be used in the Turbo with the realization of some missing lte bands. My questions are... are the missing bands used in rural areas (MN), should I sell the Turbo for a MAXX, or should I sell the Turbo and get something else? I realize the benefit of the MAXX is unlocked bootloader. I have to buy out my edge plan so I am spending money anyway, but the cost savings per month will make up for it in no time. I need it to function the best in rural. If I am missing optimum speed while in metro areas that is no big deal, don't spend a lot of time there anyways.
I live in a rural area in Maine, and I get LTE sometimes, but it's extremely spotty. I have Straight Talk, but with AT&T service. I miss LTE sometimes, but HSPA+ is plenty fast enough for the things I usually do on mobile web. It's all about personal preference. Yes the MAXX can be bootloader unlocked, and I believe it does support the bands that are disabled on the Turbo, so that may be the better route to take.

AT&T uses LTE bands 2, 4, 5, 17. Mostly 2, 4, 17 -- but 5 in a few markets.
Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo XT1225 has LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 17.
Droid Turbo XT1254 does not have 5 or 17.
In Atlanta, AT&T uses mostly 2 & 17. In rural northwest Georgia, 4.
I'm in Boston this weekend. Here I'm connecting on 2 & 17.
With Droid Turbo, you would not get half of AT&T's LTE bands, especially 17 which is used in a lot of markets.
I'm using GoPhone, AT&T's upper tier prepaid brand (uncapped speeds).

Note 5 SM-N9200 Duos Band Support?

Hi,
If anyone has this variant of the Note 5, could they please go into the dialer and enter *#2263# and in Band Selection you'll see WCDMA and LTE and post the bands here. The I variant supports a lot, namely:
WCDMA: 2100, 900, 850, 1900
LTE: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 38, 39, 40, 41
already PMd you back, but so it helps others trying to decide...
