Help Adding or Modding "Bands" on Android ?

[DragonLord721]

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to add bands to your android phones? For example my carrier is MetroPCS/T-Mobile and they use Bands 2 & 4 (I believe) or whatever but!!

I have a Kingzone N5 (from China) and it only receives
Network:
2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 900/2100MHz

LTE: FDD BAND 1/3/7/20
4G: LTE 800/1800/2100/2600MHz

so all I can get now is EDGE (2G or slower) LoL .. in other words, "it sux"
now when I look at my phone settings under Modes, I see
GSM Mode
EGSM900
DCS1800
PCS1900
GSM850
All lit-up and checked
Under the LTE Mode (on my phone) I see a list from
Band 1 - Band 44
but only 1,3,7 and 20 are lit-up and checked with no way to get the other Bands to light up?

KINGZONE N5 Android 5.1 4G Smartphone 5.0 inch Gorilla 2.5D Arc Screen MTK6735 64bit Quad Core 2GB RAM 16GB ROM 5MP + 13MP Cameras

4G: LTE 800/1800/2100/2600MHz

See the problem, any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

The only suggestion is to get another phone. The band specifications of a phone are part of the radio hardware and you can't add any more after the fact. If you need a specific band or bands to get LTE or 4G on the carrier you use or plan to use and the phone doesn't have that/those bands, it is never going to work.
You can check a phone before you purchase it here-

2G only with Metro PCS. Yeh, they don't usually bother with US 3G and 4G bands on cheapo phone from China, unless they're specifically intended for sale there, and no way to add them because it's hardware.
