Potential Band issues w/ unlocked V30??

[Diehlirious]

What do you guys make of this quote from PocketNow?

"What troubles us just a little bit is the band support on this device: sure, it has CDMA and GSM support for basic 3G service on the United States’s major networks. It also can handle Bands 2 and 4 for LTE — AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon share those waves — as well as bands 5, 12 and 13 for wide-range LTE on each of the three networks. US Cellular customers will do just fine here.

The only Sprint LTE band this V30 supports is number 25. If you’re a customer on that network, you’ll want to consider the V30+.

You’ll miss out the most if you’re on AT&T as bands 17 and 30 are out of the question and you’ll also lose out on T-Mobile without Band 71 — that’s 600MHz."

I was hoping that the unlocked version wouldn't have a problem w/ the major carriers.

Saw this, too, and wondering what other people's thoughts are. May Juarez get the AT&T model. Really, no reason not to.

The bloatware is what I really didn't want but man LG's making it tough to buy an unlocked version. Band issues, Dec. release date

Bloatware can be removed, though.

The tmo version will have band 71, it'll actually be the only device at least on tmo to have it.

I'm not a band expert but band 71 will focus on rural areas.

I thought it could only be disabled?

Where's the love button?

You're the man

Have you tried it on the V30?

Unfortunately I don't have the V30 to test, but see no reason why it shouldn't work. Works on my V20 and since they're both on Nougat there shouldn't be anything so different to make this not work on the V30.

Amazing, can't believe I'm finally getting a bloatware free V30 tomorrow, thanks!

Sorry to be taking up so much of your time, but I am back w/ a V30 in hand but needed a little help to get through some of these steps if you have a moment..

1. connect device, make sure ADB is working (check with CMD "adb devices")
2. go to shell, using CMD "adb shell"
3. get list of install packages using CMD "pm list packages" (use google to find out what does each package name means).
4. remove package using CMD "pm uninstall -k --user 0 $packagname" (e.g. pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.inputdevices)
5. if correctly typed, you receive message "SUCCESS"

I'm not an expert in this area but I though I'd be able check the ADB by pressing Window+r then typing cmd.exe
From there I typed adb device with & without quotes. It said "adb/adb device is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
I know it's something obvious that I'm doing wrong but how did you check if ADB is working?
