4g,LTE issue

[4 fun]

Hi.. I have only one issue remaining with my Lumia 1520. The 4g,LTE connection. I have read that many people can't get 4g or LTE speed like me. I live in USA and I use METROPCS. Those anybody knows if Nokia has released a fix for that issue?

I( believe that 4G LTE is a carrier implemented thing and the issue would be cell tower build out with LTE implementation not a cell phone manufacturer issue.

I'm getting my 4G LTE speeds on my telco; I would believe it's more of a telco/reception issue rather than the phone itself.

Which 1520 are you using? unlocked AT&T RM-940? International RM-937?

I forgot that to mentioning..it's. RM-937... But I read it's the phone.. There's a lot of people with that issue to... Pd: it's there anyway to get in touch with Nokia people..or just go through MSFT?

Doesn't MetroPCS use band 4 for lte while the rm-937 doesn't support it?

Yeah it would depend on the LTE bands supported by MetroPCS and you phone.

The 937 supports these: LTE 800 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600
The att version supports these:700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600

You can see there is a difference

The RM-937 does not have the LTE bands that are used in the US or CA.

Let me see if I understand you...
You did you mean that band 4 for LTE... And that RM-937 GLOBAL VERSION does not support it?

Then what about this...

4G Network LTE 800 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 - RM-937
LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600 - RM-938, RM-940

 

[4 fun]

Yeah I see..while I used to have unlocked phones and I am a Nokia addict..that's a big problem..thanks for your detailing...I think I will have to sell it and buy rm-938 o a rm-940,it's a brand new phone and I love it...thanks

Then what about this...
source GSMARENA.COM

4G Network LTE 800 / 900 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 - RM-937
LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600 - RM-938, RM-940

The RM-937 would needs Band 4 (1700) for LTE and it doesn't have band 4

I haven't heard of a RM-938, what I've heard of is:

RM-940 with (850​/900​1900​​/2100 MHz) for 3G and (700​/850​/1700​/1900​/2600 MHz) for LTE
RM-937 with (850​/900​/1900​/2100 MHz) for 3G and (800​/900​/1800​/2100​/2600 MHz) for LTE
RM-939 To be announce in the future, with only 3G (850​/900​/1900​/2100 MHz)

Here's a list of all LTE bands and frequencies: List of LTE networks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I also bought rm-937 and now and then I get h+ on tmobil was trying to figure out the lte problem as well. so tmobil is 1700/2100 bands. I just bought it and maybe I should return the phone and get a att branded 1520 then?

If like you can also go to eBay if you like unlocked phones. And look for Nokia Lumia 1520 rm-938. I just bought mine there. It's USA version.

 

[seattlebob]

Its just kind of a bummer RM-937 does not do lTE in the states. such a great phone

 

[SANTOSH GADALE]

HI , Can any one tell me What is the Indian Version of RM - for 1520 and Whether it is going to support LTE in future without hardware changes .


Thanks

[Kebero]

All variants of the L1520 support LTE. The only difference is that the one for AT&T is the only one that has the bands used in,the US and Canada.

The RM-937 is the model number for the device sold outside the US.

Hi, I'm using an RM-937 device in Switzerland on the Swisscom network. Swisscom supposedly uses bands 800, 1800 and 2600. But I still can't get 4G. It used to work with my Lumia 925. I can't even choose 4G in the SIM settings. Any ideas?
