i have a oneplus one, i knew when i bought it that it did not support 4g and lte due to band widths etc. However, i was at ascot races on saturday(i lost!) and i was receiving LTE all afternoon. Anyway, the question is, how was this possible and why cant i get it to work anywhere wlse on lte? i work in london so id imagine it should work here rather than anywhere else?
cheers

theroretically it shouldnt work as the vodafone bands and the 0ne+ are incompatable. all i can think of is that it somehow hooked up to the 2600 band width, but it def did! here are the oneplus and the vodafone specs

Hi,
I had once managed to lock onto LTE when I was in Covent Garden (London) some weeks ago and last week I had the same thing happen when I was in Covent Garden again! It locked onto LTE for most of the time I was in the area.
I managed to do a speedtest and got amazingly high speeds!
No idea how it managed to get LTE!

anyone had the following vodafone issue? works with 3g, lte wont work due to band issues discussed elsewhere (though i did get lte at ascot races once, i guess that was 2600 hz band), but every morning i have to re-boot the phone as the data connection on my vodafone SIM drops out and wont re-establish until re-booted, then it works fine.
im in bishops stortford and vodafone is average there, but happens in london as well. i think the best advice is to never buy a OPO when u have 14 months of a vodafone contract!

Hi there
It sounds like the phone is going into some form of a "sleep" mode which involves it shutting down the data connection but doesn't bring it back up like it is supposed to.
Unfortunately I don't have any access to this particular device so I am unable to have a play for you and see what happens.
Have you tried the SIM in a different handset - if so, does it do the same thing? If not, it would indicate an issue with the handset.
