How to enable any LTE band on Lumia

Is there any development about the question ?

... buy a Lumia that supports LTE? My 1520.3 has support for a number of LTE bands, for example. I'm going to go way out on a limb and guess you don't know much about how radio, much less cellular telephony, actually works... Enabling bands is at least a radio firmware change and sometimes a hardware change. It's not something you can do in device software.

On Android devices there is possibility to unlock some bands
also Lumia 640 has all bands (LTE version) and i think there have to be some hack to unlock band if radio has it

On some regions is LTE disabled, but if you flash ROM from other region, you can use it. I tried Indian ROM on my L1520 and no LTE, with French ROM is LTE enabled.

that problem is software level but i am asking different one
on nexus 5 USA version one band (band 3) is locked and if you hack it with field test you get it and use in Europe
i need such hack for lumia
in addition lumia 640 has all LTE bands
and i might think on lumia 635 there have to be any band (band 3 or band 20 ) to get LTE in my Country

And what about different versions of 640/640xl? Some of them have LTE enabled, others don't - is it possible to enable it manually? Someone in forums posted that he could enable LTE on Lumia 525

I am interested to find that thing out ! and I don't know how to enable LTE..

I have tried to compare registry from lumia 640XL DS LTE vs 640XL DS 3g, found some keys on LTE version missing in 3g version but could not test because in my country there is no LTE(

Any news regarding the issue?

LTE is not working on Note 3 AT&T

Hi,
I have recently updated my note 3 to 5.0. I got LTE sim but its not connecting to LTE network. On further search i found that My SIM provider has Band 3 LTE or something similar and my Smart phone (Note 3 AT&T) is locked to use band 2 and other.
IS there any way i can enable it?

Force lte only

Hi,
I own sm-t715y, samsung website mention the availability of tdd lte band 40, i want to use a provider which is data only, it doesn't have any voice capability (called bolt). And a cdma provider which uses tdd lte band 40 as well (called smartfren).
Most of the tutorial on other devices which has tdd lte band 40 support has these steps:
1. Force lte only
2. Turn radio off and on
3. Set apn
I can't set force lte only on this tablet yet, tried *#0011# and *#2263# but it cant, the 2nd one cannot pop at all, please advice

When you say other device, this isn't Samsung is it.
I also have a S2 with band LTE 40, why don't you just buy a data only sim card, that is what I have 10GB data 1 year time limit.

Yes, the other device is oneplus one, alcatel one touch flash.
I tried experimenting with smartfren but no success at all, have not tried with the data only bolt, the cs said it cant but i doubt its true.

That is why, I had many Samsung, and non of them has lte only.
different phone/tablet has different features.

can't receive calls on mi5 while using 4g and phone screen locked (global rom)

i flashed my phone with the global rom and now when i lock the screen while using LTE Network i can't recieve phone calls
only text message arrives on locked screen
when the screen is not locked or when the phone plugged in charger every thing works fine
P.S. on 3g network i don't have this problem​

I bought new mi5 and faced similar problem and ordered a replacement.
But the same problem persists in the new handset.
So after going through a lot of search
I conculded:
The phone network does not support voice over LTE yet in some networks.
Currently it is supported in europe and japan and some networks of states.
So no need to panic xiaomi is getting a patch to update to fix this bug from their side.
Till time enjoy callin/ internet via 3g network
By pressing *#*#4636#*#*
Select network to wcdma by which u wont have any problem of incoming calls and no net issues!
If u dnt bother incoming calls ..u knw how to get 4g?

Well you're doing better than me my phones never displayed 4g in areas I used to have it with my lg g5 any ideas using the *#*#4636#*#* apparently lte is enabled I'm on Vodafone UK also allegedly supported

Vodaphone and o2 will not work on 4G with this phone as it only uses band 20/800Mhz which is not activated.
4G Network:
1800MHZ
1900MHZ
2100MHZ
2300MHZ
2600MHZ
There is a list of bands and UK networks here

Fixed in Xiaomi Mi 5 Global Developer ROM Version: 6.8.11 (MIUI8)
Verified on Airtel 4G in Hyderabad, India

i can also verify it does not work stable rom but i works just perfect Latest Chinese developer rom.eventually they fixed this issue on latest developer roms.

LTE Problems with VTR-L09 Variant

Hi Guys,
I recently picked up this version of the Huawei P10 from Rogers and unlocked it for use on the Freedom Mobile network here in Ottawa. According to everywhere I've looked, this device supports band 4 LTE, but for some reason it will not connect.
My wifes Google Pixel connects just fine and as it should. It also supports band 4.
Am I missing something here or is there a programming code or something I need to enter to enable all LTE bands or maybe even a modem I need to flash?
Let me know!
