LTE does not work on unlocked Optimus G

[tomg666]

I just received an Optimus G and had to unlock it to be able to use it. I I unlocked it myself with a code and it worked. Then I entered and saved the current Rogers mms apn settings. But then I go to gsm/wcdma/lte, I don't get LTE or any data service and it shuts of my cell service as well. I have triple checked the current apn settings in maaany places and am sure that mine are entered correctly. Any ideas?

Rogers LTE is on a 2600 Mhz band, Bell and Telus LTE are on 2100 band. Who was the phone originally locked to? Rogers has a specific model of the optimus G to support their 2600 Mhz network.

It was originally on Bell

Thats the problem, it does not support LTE on Rogers

Yeah, i have found out that the Bell Optimus G does not support the LTE band that Rogers uses.

May I inquire how you unlocked your Optimus G? An unlocked Optimus G is a Nexus 4 with LTE and SD card slot once it get rooted and replaced with a stock Nexus 4 ROM.

I bought the unlock code on ebay and unlocked it using that.

I also had to enter the Rogers MMS and Internet APN settings. But mine doesn't have the SD card slot.
