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.

Is there a way to find the frequency from this info. My note 2 on tmo didn't say the freq specifically.

4G stands for HSDPA+
Many Operator in Europe (T-Mobile DE, Vodafone IT) support HSDPA+ with >21Mbit.

True but not exactly, because after December 2010 (ITU changed specs a little), LTE and WiMAX can also be referred to as 4G technology even though it does not meet speed requirements of 4G, that is really confusing since in e.g. USA 4G can mean WiMAX...
With ITU (telecommunication standardising body) it's all about the peak transfer capability if technology can reach certain threshold it gets the 4G tag...
This is a bit illogical since e.g HSDPA+ is not that much technologically different from standard 3G family derivatives as it is from "newer" LTE, or WiMAX ... long live confusion.
hope this helps

Um. Being a dev I still only got that bit :L
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

the BBC reported today there is going to be LTE testing in selected areas

the gsm 4g in states is HSPA+ or whatever is called . And the G2x or O2X has i think QUAD bands wcdma , so i think that is why you see 4g . The H was replaced by 4G. In states 4g is just for marketing. A real 4g i can say is the LTE from Verizon , but WIMAX , and HSPA are no 4g in my opinion .

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] Lenovo K3 Note and 4G in the UK - London

Hi All
1st time post just got my K3 and have been using this thread as a informed KB, I have rooted and have the latest Vibe rom which is Android 5.0 . I also have the Google app store and play services from , can't post links as i have less than 10 posts
What i am trying to understand is why i don't have a 4G even though the Sim is 4G and it works as 4G in a Galaxy S4 , is this a Rom limitation ?
Thank you

I have the same issue. Have you found a solution?

Not a ROM limitation. Have a look what frequencies your mobile operator uses for LTE. The K3 note can only use these.
Networks:
2G: GSM 900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz
4G: FDD-LTE 1800/2100/2600MHz

So if you're on o2 you're screwed?

Afraid so. I`m with giffgaff which runs on the O2 network but I don`t use 4g as it`s patchy at best where I am. It`s a great phone for the money.

Hi,
i got my Lenovo K3 Note too..
Even i have a network problem..
i even can't use my network connection..
this is a link to the frequencys, my provider use..
http://www.frequentieland.nl/gsm/gsm_nl_f.htm
I have KPN and i am from Netherlands..
Can anybody help me out?
Btw, i have rooted it and installed CM12 on it..

Same problem giffgaff as well grr spouse you get what you pay for

I got my k3 note. I'm annoyed by the auto launch app after finished install from Google play.. any idea how to get rid of it?

Can I use this phone on AT&T LTE network?

Curious to see if this phone support all US LTE carriers.
Will have one if it supports

It gets nationwide 4G on T-Mobile only. On AT&T it gets 3G and very limited 4G.

According to the different sites that I have searched, NO. I use Cricket and have no network problems at all.

Can we just write the NV items to enable it ?

That is pretty strange as it doesn't support band 17. I guess you are in one of the few markets with ATT band 2.

Yep, i have the phone with att and is on 4G

Does LTE Advanced work on the Z2 Pro? What speeds do you guys get?

Hey I just wanted to ADD to this. I had to switch from T-mobile to AT&T.. well had to because ULTRA was awful and my speeds never got past 2mb. So I got on AT&T on ZUK Z2 and on H+ I get 11mb solid. Now using the same sim in a USA phone not Chinese full 4gLTE it got 9-11. So yeah... works AWESOME..and coming for 2mb and 1mb.. haha I am very happy. Just wanted to say it works flawless.
