[Q] Stuck on EDGE data connection. - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there.
I bought my Moto G v2 a few weeks ago in the US, but I live in New Zealand. Because of this, my data connection is stuck on edge here (woo hoo 0.19mb/s download).
Does anyone have the modem files or something?

Did you check the 3g band used by your carrier?
Its unlocked?

"2 Degrees uses GSM900MHz (older 2G technology), UMTS 2100MHz (new 3G technology) and also can use GSM1800MHz and UMTS900MHz"
I have the US version of the phone, which uses different frequencies to the international version.
Yes, it's unlocked.

I was under the impression that it is a hardware thing and you'll not get 3g there with the US model.

Is unlikely that will work but you can check this thread you might find something

I don't know about Release there, but if you tell the used frequencies for LTE there, we could answer if it will work there or not.

USA/Mexico compatibility

Hey everyone, I updated my question and post it in the right forum, so here is it :
I'm gonna buy a S3 4G LTE on kogan in australia, here the frequencies according to the description :
2G Network 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz
3G Network 850, 900, 2100MHz
4G Network 800, 1800, 2600

(I think it's the SGH-I747)
I'm going to travel around USA/Mexico, I found the map of GSM world coverage, its says for those countries :
2G 1900 850
3G 1700/2100, 3G 850/1900
Will the 3G be working in thoses places ? (i'm just worrying about the frequencies in bold, 1700 and 1900Hz)
Cheers

Does the d4 use both 2100 and 900mhz 3g bands (europe) ?

Does the d4 use both 2100 and 900mhz 3g bands (europe) ?
I'm thinking of importing one or the samsung relay 4g, but do both smartphones work at 900mhz (much stronger signial here) ?

Not sure about that, but I can confirm you that 3G works perfectly in Spain with this mobile
Here are the bands supported.
2G Network CDMA 800 / 1900
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network CDMA2000 1xEV-DO
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 700 MHz Class 13
I have a Droid 4 in UK, and I can confirm HSDPA is working, but couldn't go higher than that, probably 4G is working only on 700 MHz, which no operator has in UK: hxxp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks#Europe

Would a US991 model work on TMobile?

This is a model made for US Cellular. Its GSM tho and unlocked.
Its super cheap right now and tempting.
Looks like it has 2, 4, and 12 LTE bands.
What I'm not sure about it the 3G bands (it has 1900 and 2100 but not 1700, would that cause a problem?) and 2G (in case im in the boondocks).
This one has:
LTE Bands 2/4/5/12/13/17/25, CDMA 800, 1900 MHz, WCDMA 850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz, GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Anyone know more about this than me?
thanks

Band Inquiry - C Band

So the G025I varient supports bands 77 and 78.The US varient, G025E,supports band 77 only. The thing is band 77 is actually a subset of band 78.So it makes
me wonder.
I wonder if we can flash UK.EU, AU firmware on a US model and if that would open those bands--if the hardware was physically identical between the I and E varients.
