Why not? Its a US Global Version. I pop in my TMO SIM and its working . Only H+ no LTE as expected. Probably you are using CDMA SERVICE.

Exactly. Its the same model H815. So no problem I can pop my TMO SIM and it'll work. Most likely no LTE only H+ which fine for me.
But still no shipping info from them since 5/13.."Please be on the look out for a shipping confirmation Email within the next 3-5 business days" that right?
AT&T uses band 17 in OC, CA for LTE my LG G3 uses it at home and work. the H815 is supposed to have LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 17(700), 20(800), 28(700), What about T-mobile will one of these work for your LTE? ï

What do you mean, what a waste? Ungrateful much? It was a free device that you didnt have to pay anything for, FREE

And I popped in my SIM card and used it just fine.

if you are not in the states it probably works just fine with your SIM. I can tell you that I contacted Verizon here in the states and it cannot be activated on their network. Ungrateful, No, In my opinion this is useless to me without it actually working as a phone. Right now its a pretty paper weight.

Wireless charging

You that have received the phone can you confirm if it comes with wireless charging or quick charging? Or will wireless charging only work with the circle cover?

Oh yes....4G LTE in the house. But I guess it's a sucks in my area indoor.





@alwayslearning

Back cover no qi charging but can get some stickers later. And Quick Charge 2.0
Not yet activate I think. Probably need kernel update IDK. Get around 1.9 to 2.0 Amp with USB doctor plugin on my AUKEY USB Turbo Charger. Quit fast for me.



And I love this reboot Menu.


Oh... I forgot it's UX 4.0. xD

Very cool, I ordered mine from Hong Kong because I prefer non-locked phone. I know that the H815 Will work for me 95% of the time on LTE. When I travel to certain states it may not have the correct band but that's not that frequent.

Ok, first off, I am in the states, and i just called ATT and activated the phone with no problems. I sent out text messages and made calls with it. Also, its not just a pretty paper weight, if anything, its a kick ass camera as well.

I just read into his further. the phone that was sent is a GSM device, and Verizon is CDMA. Even though verizon told me it could be activated once they release it for sale, I still dont believe it will happen.
