LTE (4G) in the UK.
I’ve used the G2 on Three 4G in London
and it has the same RF hardware as the Nexus 5 of which I’ve used on O2 and EE
LTE. The LTE bands supported on the D802 are 800/900/1800/2100/2600 MHz
on the phone and set 4G Preferred. One way is you can change in the config menu
by dialling *#*#4636#*#* > Phone Information > Set Preferred Network Type
= LTE/GSM/WCDMA? This is a little different to the Nexus 5 that was set as
LTE/GSM auto (PRL)
This assumes that you have a
4G enabled data plan and that your phone had the correct APN settings for your
carrier.
You can set it in the
*#*#4636#*#* menu but a reboot then removes this setting!! I’ll see what I can
find out.
So it would appear that
although the hardware supports LTE, the LG D80220B-EUR-XX KitKat 4.4.2 Official
ROM may not allow you to select LTE for some UK networks.
Mobile SIM in an LG G2 (UK,
unlocked, Sim-Free) running JellyBean 4.2.2 and they confirm that they have the
same issue, LTE is not selectable from the preferred networks settings. They
tested an EE card and LTE was available
