So this version supports it, and their Android version does not. But it's the exact same hardware.

Will there be an update so that the Android version supports band 2 LTE?

This is a Windows version of the phone, no one cares about Android. Hence, everyone is ignoring you and you have no responses.

Looking at the HTC spec sheet, the T-Mobile version is limited to 700/AWS. The AT&T version supports 1900.
