Hi ,
I've ordered the LG sport watch W280A and the lte bands and one of the umts band are not supported in my country , I need band 3 and 1 for LTE and band 8 for umts,
Someone knows maybe how to unlock them?
I understand that you need root device too, I'm still new in smartwatchs, I don't know if this even possible..
Thanks a lot

Hi, I am trying to find out the same. Have you managed to do it ? From the number of answers you have received I guess it might not be possible yet.

I really want to try it, I found some guides but I don't got the watch yet, I know also that few people in this forum talked about this subject,
The first thing to find out is if we can root this device and also if the adb is capable of entering diag mode.. if you can check this , we will continue
I should get mine in a month or less. Once I have it I may try rooting if I have some guide.
If I had the guides, I would certainly try with mine for sure.
Try this, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059
I saw that you post this link before
The problem is , how to enter to diag mode, you can't connect the watch with cable to the computer..
Hi guys. My LG Watch Sport arrived it is W280 from Google Store. The supported bands are GSM 850/1900 WCDMA 850/1900 LTE 850/1700/1900. Have you found any way to unlock more bands. I would need WCDMA 2100 and LTE 1800.

Where are you from?
I live in the UK and ordered the W281 which apparently supports:
2G - 900 MHz
3G - 2100 MHz
4G - 1800 MHz (B3) - no idea what "B3" is
3store in the UK has the following:
800MHz (4G)
1800MHz (4G)
2100MHz (3G)
Do you think it will work?
I will definitely update here once I get it (hopefully) as I ordered from eglobalcentral which is not really a reliable company (according to Trustpilot reviews)

Did you manage to test this model? I'm thinking of buying from the same company but it would be really helpful to have some assurance that 1) it will arrive and 2) it will work with a Three SIM.

I ordered it on 24/06/2017 from eglobalcentral.co.uk and waiting for it to arrive tomorrow (17/07/2017). The company is definitely unreliable - when you check on their website both of the colours are available, but that is definitely not true. I had to wait for them for a week and a half to ship it since they did not have it in stock. And how I found out - I sent them several e-mails, raised tickets and lost ages to find their "chat" option (this does not exist), only to find out that if you leave a bad review on Trustpilot they will respond. But do not expect them to reply back if you e-mail them again.
Finally on the 5th they sent me a tracking number with DHL - the watch stayed from 05/07 to 13/07 in DHL`s warehouse in Manchester (this is what the tracking shows - maybe they teleported it from HK to UK in one day and then DHL decided to play with my watch ). Only when I e-mailed them it started moving slowly to different warehouses in the UK. I had an estimated delivery on Friday (14/07) and was so exited, but did not receive it. I track it probably 10 times a day and at the moment there is no estimated delivery date, but I live in Portsmouth and the parcel is in Southampton, so I am hoping tomorrow is the day!!!
Fingers crossed...
P.S. Check this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/watch-sport/help/uk-release-t3595923/page9#post73054026
it seems like it works on other networks, but no info for Three yet
Thanks for the information. Best of luck on getting the delivery today. Looks like someone posted an update on Three yesterday on the thread you linked and it's working on 4g.
any update om your delivery?

Yes it arrived on the day. I am happy with the watch - a bit slower than my Gear S2 tbh, but I love the design. Plus - you have 4G if you need it...you also have Android Pay - again slow, but works.
Btw if you switch off HR, LTE and wi-fi and do not use always on display your battery will last more than a day (1.5 days),so people complaining about battery life never owned a smartwatch before. I was doing the same on my gear s2 to achieve the same battery life. It had a smaller battery ofc, but also a smaller display...

Maybe you have the US version (W280), mine is W281 and has 4G.
Hi, did you manage to make it work? I have an LG Urbane 2 (W200A) and an LG Sport (W280A) using the same frequencies and bands (according to the published specs). The Urbane 2 works fine (3G/HSPA), while the Sport doesn't connect to the network with any of the available networks (LTE, 3G, 2G). The carrier is Orange France and the SIM I'm using is the same in the two cases..
Can any1 check if it is present ?
Yes
Thank you for that.
As I check there is no B20 LTE band ?
Yep, I'm very interested in the same matter - does it support B20 LTE band and does it have NFC? I'm considering importing this phone from Flipkart, but first I need to be sure it'll work properly in Poland.

It does not support B20 and does not have NFC either.
It is a good phone but Motorola as an OEM is pretty pathetic. It's just Lenovo with another name. It's really not worth it importing this phone if you ask me.
Go with Nokia or even Xiaomi if it's available in your country.
Big thx for the info, looks like importing is not worth it...
We should wait for Motrola G7 Power. It will come soon
https://www.xda-developers.com/motorola-moto-g7-power-leak-rumored-specs/
G7 Power doesnt have 802.11ac wireless and also only bluetooth 4.2. Besides the matching 5000mAh there's not much difference but I'd still choose the One Power.
how many x2 pro have 1931 in model? ebay ad says its 1931 model but doesnt say what after 1931 , someone said there,s RMX1931L1 or RMX1931EEA is there more 1931,s then those 2? because ebay people didnt answer if its 1 of those 2 but their ad says its 1931 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Realme-X2-...hash=item34211a23a8:m:mS2Nl-L-Htood4wYaECLYCw so if there is more then those 2 1931,s and one of them isnt so good for usa dont want to buy it and find out its wrong 1

Not 100% but think there's only 2... India, European, UK etc all have same model number then there's the Chinese version.... by the looks of ad and then not replying I'd assume it's the Chinese version.
so you think that 1 is ok? or skip it??
if it is chinese model any good or skip it?

I bought the Realme X2 Pro 256GB/12GB supposedly Global/EU version, live in Orange County, CA, and on Android 10 C24 update using the T-Mobile network. When i go to Settings->About Phone under 'Model' i see "RMX1931".
I just updated to C24 and same problems as posted here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2-pro/help/how-to-to-android-9-colouros-6-android-t4071317
and my rant/venting here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2-pro/help/downgrade-realme-ui-to-color-os-realme-t4080299
The thing with this phone is that nothing is clear on what is working or what should be working with T-Mobile network, in my area at least. I can tell you though that besides the bugs/issues on the links above, this also does not work with this phone in my area using T-Mobile:
-No VoLTE
-No Wifi Calling
-No 4g while on a call(could be related with no VoLTE due to the missing bands on the phone)
Also on the T-Mobile network, on my previous phone, HTC 10 unlocked global version, i had wifi calling and 4g when on a call working - and i find that ridiculous that on a 5+year old model phone these both things worked and on a "high spec" 2019 model phone like the Realme X2 Pro none of those things are working and yes i know the X2 pro is meant to be used in other parts of the world, like china and india but still, when you sell a "global" phone(not priced cheap @ $500 imho) it should have all those 'basic' functions, like wifi calling, at the minimum! i bought at my own risk i know, so im paying the price now:crying::crying:
if you are willing to switch providers like maybe Verizon or ATT maybe you can have better luck with this phone with all the "basic" functionalities.
i was about 75% sure of getting rid of this phone and now im like 99% sure of getting rid of it. You interested? lol
btw, i bought this exact one from this seller: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Realme-X2-...hash=item34211a23a8:m:mS2Nl-L-Htood4wYaECLYCw
dam ebay!!
ok they finaly said its india version is that any good or skip it?

i bought X2 pro phone about 1 month ago and if i was going to do this all over again i would i would go for the Xiaomi: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Xiaomi-Mi-...hash=item341aea54d9:m:mH_wyne-_SXAdmrXP7eck1g
before i bought anything it was between the X2 Pro and the Xiaomi, same price, but i went for the X2 Pro because of the faster snapdragon 855+ processor and more ram. I dont really care for the crazy 108MP camera(s). But if you do your research for the Xiaomi, i believe VoLTE, wifi calling, and 4g while on call, all work with the Xiaomi on the T-Mobile network.
Good luck buddy!
anyone who bought the 12 gig model that is the GOOD model for usa tmobile/att etc where did you get it? if you can link me to it thanks

If your not bothered about the camera which is the main selling point of the Xiaomi mi note 10 then the only decent point is the large battery... everything else is worse then the X2 Pro... Unfortunate that your having issues with networks as I have WiFi calling etc on my European version using ID sim which is a virtual network on three UK and working perfectly.
EDIT: Just read your rant and the other thread and can honestly say I have no issues with speaker being to loud during a call and zero issues with mic. I didn't have them on Color OS and I've been running the Realms UI c23 from the India site since 30th without the issues... installed c24 from UK site today and I've had nearly 3h calls today without any loud or mic issues.

LIke i said on my other rant, maybe i got a bad one from a bad batch:crying: which sucks because 30day policy expired from the ebay seller and i dont think i can return(ill double check anyways). And yes, the Xiaomi has larger battery also and yes i would of have ignored the slower porcessor etc. if it meant "normal" functionality on the phone with VoLTE, wifi calling, etc. all functioning - i would prefer a working phone than dumb issues and missing basic functionalities etc. MY2C i guess.
But like i said before, when i got the phone new with Color OS 6 Android 9, the earpiece/handset during voice calls volume was working "ok" at a tolerable level and i could be fine with the mic issue, having to enable speaker mode and then disable during call, i wouldnt have mind that at all. That is the reason why i would like to go back to Android 9 but i have no idea how - or im too dumb to do it ....still doing research of how i can go back.
ok got phone Fleabay SWORE it was GSM Model only but on side of box says GSM:850/900/1800 WCDMA1/2/3/4/5/6//8/19 LTE TDD BANDS 34/38/39/30/41 LTE FDD 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/18/19/20/26/28 model number rbs9x225in..... so what region etc is that?
how do i get fastboot installed and configured? i havent had to use that in 500 years
fastboot flashing unlock in fastboot that does nothing? i checked my devices is there
i got fastboot working see,s my device but when i put the code he says fastboot flashing unlock when i did that it seems fastboot doesnt know the command or something?
Never purchased a non-US compatible device and had a question:
The China variant seems to have most T-Mobile bands (both do not have B71) as the global variant WITH THE EXCEPTION OF B66. Does anyone know whether this will be an issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i get my china variant Mi 11 Ultra on Monday, im on T-mobile and i live in NYC. i can report back to you then.

Lucky you! Yes please let me know how the reception turns out. I don't really care about 5G since it's not that widespread, but wondering how 4G LTE will be like.
If you have any opinions on the China variant as you begin to use it, please post as well! Also considering it since there is a cheaper variant (8G+256GB).
Any updates how CN version working in NY with T-Mobile?
interesting to see speed test on 4G. Is actually supporting one 5G band.

when i ran speed test i get 10Mbps here in Queens at my house. but the real test for me will be at my job, since i dont get any WiFi there.
I also did a factory reset (a habit i always do) and playstore disappeared, i looked on youtube for easy video to re-install. This is my 1st Xiaomi phone, so im getting use to MIUI. but hardware, much better than my Note 20 Ultra. the display is better and the frame rate i see it faster on mi 11. I plan to flash global ROM, but stuck waiting 168 hours for unlock to go thru. this is only my 2nd day with the mi 11 and i like it already. going out later to take some pics.
Don't buy China version because it doesn't support well Carrier Aggregation combinations used by TMUS so you don't get good speed from network. Also it missing B71 and B66 bands - common in US networks. 5G only works with n41 SA when available theory.
Here is list of supported bands and Carrier Aggregation combinations: https://cacombos.com/device/M2102K1C

Disappointed to hear you are only getting 10Mbps in a city like Queens. Do update is on what your down speed is like at work!
Thank you and good luck with flashing to global!

I've used Chinese version phones without B66 for years, with t-mobile / google fi. Never had any issue with it. My wife uses an iPhone US version, I have stronger signal than her sometimes.

I ordered my phone from Giztop (Gizmodo's sister site) but in your case, you're probably looking for something like GearBest. The pool has kind of dried for them to the U.S. Xiaomi has stopped selling directly to the U.S due to a "ban" here. It's kind of a weird ordeal.
On that note, it is a pain to use Xiaomi devices in the U.S now because they don't add the important cellular bands that are needed for here because the devices aren't meant for the U.S market. I'm not just talking about CDMA bands, I mean GSM Bands as well. I've been using Mint Mobile on my Mi 11 but funnily enough, T-Mobile doesn't support the Mi 11(the network Mint Mobile uses). It is only missing the B71 band (4G) and only supports one 5G band on GSM, then missing just one (B13) for 4G with the same 5G support of 1 of 5 bands for CDMA -- but that's enough to have the majority of carriers not support the device AND leave you with no signal if you're not in a big city.
Any problem in Europe, like @iamrance.asa said, it's only a USA problem.
