GEM-702L LTE in the Netherlands - Huawei MediaPad X2

Hi XDA,
I found a website where I can check if LTE will work. However, carriers in the Netherlands use multiple band, such as band 3, 7 and 20. The GEM-702L doesn't support band 20, but it does support 3 and 7.
My question: Will LTE work on just band 3 or 7, or is band 20 necessary for LTE to work?
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
-thatgrass

Its necessary only one band for LTE work. 3, 7 or 20, in this case the 702 model has 3 or 7 so can work in one of those bands.

Thank you so much. I have contacted my carrier and they said in the rural area's also the bands 3 and 7 are supported. However, when looking at the entire country, band 20 is the most used. So with bands 3 and 7 I am able to use LTE in certain area's.

I am using KPN. They actually are the one with the worst band 3 and band 7 coverage. I guess I have to look for the GEM-701L.
Does someone maybe know where to get the GEM-701L? I can't seem to find one for a good price which will ship within a few days and doesn't look like a scam.

great job at answering his question
anyways, read the sony whitepaper
6653: only quad-band 3G (no AWS 3G), LTE bands 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 28, TD-LTE band 40
6603: penta-band 3G, LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 20
looks like 6653 could be for a specific network/country (with the TD-LTE bands)
http://dl-developer.sonymobile.com/...ria_Z3_D6603_D6633_D6643_D6653_D6616_WP_1.pdf
Would the 6653 work with north America?
The reason is because it's for sale here from a local import shop.
Thanks a lot for your help.
It will work fine, on 3G. No LTE. D6653 LTE bands are utilized in India, Asia etc. North American LTE bands are not active on this device with the exception of band 5 which is supposed to be utilized by AT&T in some areas of NYC. AT&T uses bands 2, 4 and 17 elsewhere for LTE.
Is it possible to change the model number from 6653 to 6603? And if so how? Will it make a difference if you can?

If you flash 6603 firmware it will change the model number but no additional bands will be enabled. I gave that a shot last year.
Aww :c is There anyway to Add more bands To the Xperia z3?
I don't believe so. You could try this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...ad-progress-please-leave-im-updating-t2871269
I have tried this on a couple Xiaomi devices and updated NV values stuck after reboot (requires root). No additional bands were enabled though.
6603 was made for North American market, right? And will work fine on AT&T?

FRD-L04 - Which LTE Bands?

Hi all,
Looking at replacing my Nexus 5X with an Honor 8 from the US (FRD-L04). I split my time between the USA and Australia, and as such I need good band support in both countries.
In the USA, I use T-Mobile which looks as though it'll be fine.
In Australia, I use Telstra. They use the following frequencies:
LTE
Name Interface
B1 (2100) LTE
B3 (1800 +) LTE
B28 (700 APT) LTE
Supported LTE Protocols
Name Generation
LTE 4G
LTE-A 4G
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As well as:
UMTS
Name Interface
B1 (2100) UMTS
B5 (850) UMTS
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am a bit confused, because in some places it indicates that the phone does not support the LTE bands in Australia. But according to the HiHonor website, it supports all but one of them.
Any guidance on this? Thanks.
I've posted there details within the forum before, but here you go.
USA Honor 8 radio bands

Hmm, see here is the problem.
According to frequencycheck, L14 supports B1 and 3, but not 28 and L04 supports neither.
But yet according to Honor themselves and even BestBuy, the phone should support everything I need for both Telstra and T-Mobile (except Band 28 which is no big deal for me).
So, which is correct? I'm sure you can see my confusion.

Trust the manufacturer. Honor official site will have correct info
I can confirm FrequencyCheck is incorrect. I can also, however, say I wouldn't want a phone without band 28 in your situation. The lower frequency should have much better coverage.

Tmobile LTE Bands

Will they support T-Mobile LTE band 71
Yea, I'm 99% sure. Since it will have Snapdragon 845 like the Galaxy S9- that supports b71. We should also see VoLTE and WiFi calling like in all other OnePlus phones.

Came here to ask a similar question. Now that the details and specs have all been released... I've always had carrier phones, currently with Tmobile. Using the op6 in north america(florida) will this phone get the same kind of reception and network speeds as a carrier branded phone would, like an s9 or lg bought from a tmobile store?
Thanks

It should be very comparable. 4x4 MIMO, with 256 QAM and cat 16 LTE. I'm in North Florida too and the OP5 had good reception here.
Anyone tested to see if we can connect to band 71 on T-Mobile

I'm in PA but I can tell you my wife has an s9+ and although her reception is fine, mines better on the op6 on metro (which is T-Mobile). As for band 71, I don't have much of that deployed near me but I've used most other bands listed on oneplus' website so I think it'll work fine.

Why does this matter? I'm on T-Mobile and OnePlus 6 works like a charm. In full bar areas, I'm getting 100 mbps

Band 30 LTE (AT&T) and Band 71 LTE (T-Mobile) missing.

Oneplus 7 Pro's LTE bands are "B1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,17,18,19,20,25,26,28,29,32,66".
Is it just a small problem?
edit :
AT&T : 2/4/5/12/17/29/66
T-Mobile : 2/4/5/12/46/48/66/71
Verizon Wireless : 2/4/5/13/46/48/66
Band 71 is present, but just contradicts with their other info where band 71 isn't present.
FDD LTE: B1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,17,18,19,20,25,26,28,29,32,66
TDD-LTE: B34,38,39,40,41
TDS: B34,39
UMTS: B1,2,4,5,8,9,19
CDMA: BC0,BC1
GSM: B2,3,5,8
I checked https://www.cellmapper.net/ to check on the bands, but seems like it shouldnt be that big of an impact for me since it's not that many in my area. Or am I wrong ? I think it'll impact rural areas more with less towers.

T-Mobile will sell the OnePlus 7 Pro with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage for $0 down and $29.17 per month for 24 months on an Equipment Installment Plan. T-Mobile will also offer the OnePlus 7 Pro through JUMP! On Demand, with JOD pricing set at $0 down and $31 per month for an 18-month lease. T-Mo will sell the OnePlus 7 Pro in Nebula Blue and Mirror Grey.
As you’d expect from a brand new flagship phone on T-Mobile, the OnePlus 7 Pro supports all of T-Mo’s LTE network features. That includes 600MHz (LTE band 71) as well as 4×4 MIMO, 256 QAM, License Assisted Access (LAA), and carrier aggregation.

How well will it work on AT&T? USA

Just curious how you guys think it'll fare on the network.
The currently listed A-C models don't seem like they'd do particularly well, given the bands, especially as AT&T deploys more bands. https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-asus-zenfone-6 will show the band support vs the US carriers.
But we are getting a US release, so it may be another model variant not quite listed yet, which would have better band support. I'd be surprised if they released it as it.
The review from Android Police said it could barely connect to AT&T's LTE. That suggests limited band support in the version they were using. Perhaps a different version will be better?

I'm wondering if they didn't have the C variant that has the main AT&T LTE bands.
They didn't say, so it's possible they had an A or B variant. The C variant specs I say study lol like it had all of AT&T's bands. Could had have been wrong though.

Received my Zenfone 6 from ASUS USA on Wednesday. No AT&T LTE connection! I do not know if it is version A B or C - is there any way to tell?
Somewhat disappointed since I got this to replace my Zenfone 2 that was working well with AT&T LTE. I made the unfortunate assumption that the 6 would work as well.
Is this something that could be added with a firmware update or will this phone never work with AT&T LTE?

That phone is compatible with AT&T so something odd going on there. Re-insert the sim? Different slot? A restart? You can check the system info, confirm it's WW. The region aspect (A,B, oe C) is confusing even though I know the ZenFone series well. What I can say is that North American variants make use of this style of identification: ZS630KL-S855-6G128G-BK. I suppose you could input your serial into the ASUS North American warranty checker and see if it gives you some type of information, like region. It's hard to imagine ASUS messing up their inventory but anything is possible.

I do not see a warranty checker. Do you know the URL?
I did look through the tech specs and found what LTE bands each version supports:
A version FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20, 28), TD-LTE (Bands 38, 40, 41)
B version FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 18, 19, 26, 28), TD-LTE (Bands 38, 39, 41, 46)
C version FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, 18, 19, 26, 28), TD-LTE (Bands 38, 39, 41, 46)
Per the phonearena.com site, AT&T's primary band is 12/17 with 2, 4 & 5 used in some areas where they don't have 12/17. It looks like version C is necessary to support AT&T LTE.
I spent some time chatting with ASUS tech support about this and trying to determine what version this phone is. I was told that phones purchased in North America are version A. I guess this means no AT&T LTE here!
With respect to ASUS support? They barely know what they are talking about. B&H has a bands check and AT&T is supported. If any previous ZenFone models supported AT&T, then the new releases will as well. Google search "asus warranty check". That will find you the page. I'm not saying it's a solution but maybe it will say what region your phone is or if it's from a region not covered by US/North America warranty which would give you some answers. I will tell you this. Every ZenFone since ZenFone 2 works with AT&T. It's your sim or something else. The first step in dealing with ASUS? Don't believe a lot of what they tell you.
PS. I would also use that warranty check to see if your purchase date lines up with what that website/database tells you. Make a note of any differences because if the tool is wrong, be assured when you try to warranty your phone they will not believe the tool is wrong and you will need very clear proof of purchase. And? Of course a lot of times ASUS is completely wrong about warranty expiry dates.
I'm on T-Mobile, I can confirm at least band 2, 4 and 12 exist for this phone. So it should be a Version C in north American. No VoLTE for T mobile US, otherwise, everything is fine so far.
