So I've had this phone for almost a week now and I used to he able to get 4g LTE. But ever since I rooted it, I no longer get more than 3g. I now have bananacakes Holiraider 1.6 but I still don't get any higher than 3g. So my question is how do I get 4g and 4g lte. Oh and if anyone is using that custom Rom, is it possible to get faster than 1512? In his thread it shows you can clock it to 1566. Thanks a bunch I'm kinda new to this!
try dialing *#*#4636#*#* and see what your modem is set to, it should be GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto
you also may have an APN issue, verifiy that your APN is correct, perhaps contact your carrier for the correct APN settings for you phone and plan.
Well I'm now running a custom ROM. The apn is the same as other users and it does say the above. And yes I am in a 4G LTE area

Try doing the above and change to LTE only.
Then once you have 4G change it back. It should stay on 4G. I had to do this to get 4G on official rom.
Ok I just tried that but it wouldn't let me to switch it to LTE only. When I did, it switched it back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto. I'm just gonna relock my phone and set it back to the original stock rom and format my phone (yes I have the apps and stuff backed up). Because my actual mobile connection fluctuates on and off as well
the phone should be locked into the GSM/WCDMA/LTE setting. If you try to change it from that setting it just returns back. The phone will get instructions from the carrier's base station to tell it whether to be on LTE or just 4G/3G. Using *#*#4636#*#* under phone information, what is listed as the Network type?

It is locked in GSM/WCDM/LTE auto.
above that option it should tell you the network type. it is about half way between the "run ping test" button and the "Set Preferred Network type" option. Need to know what it says there.
Oh ok I see what you mean, it says HSDPA
make sure that you are in a active LTE area. toggle the radio off and on. the network type should change to LTE if it is available. remember that if you make a phone call your phone will drop back to just 4g/3g and it might take a second for it to switch back to LTE.
I live in Los Angeles so I'm like in the center of the LTE center in Southern California. But for some reason my phone won't get anything higher than 3G, and my actual cellphone reception toggles on and off randomly too.
It worked before. For the first 3 days atleast. And now all of the sudden it wouldn't work, so I rooted it and installed a custom ROM
Try one of WildChilds custom ROMS. LTE works on both and they're tailored to US users.

if the problem arised before you rooted and rom'd the phone I doubt the rom is the problem. there is always the chance that you have a bad radio.

That's what I'm thinking... What would I do about this?
i would verify your sim with another 4gLTE phone and vice versa.
Hrm... So it could be a Sim card problem eh? Unfortunately there are no other LTE devices for me to get a hold of... Would this be the only way?
it could be. i hope you have pulled battery/sim and then rebooted already. you can verify your phone with a known good sim and verify your sim with a known good phone. I would try your local at&t store. they might be able to help.

I have done it many times . Yeah I'm actually going to head over to the at&t store in a few minutes, I'll keep you posted. Thank you so much for your help! rft3ch!
I will be replacing my phone. I replaced the sim card and that wasn't the problem . The rep said that someone else came in with the same problem as well.

I bought nexus one from my friend.
I am currently using HD2 with 3g data.
When I plugged in my sim card to the n1, it only worked with edge.
So, I seared internet for some information and I found out something about "*#*#6436#*#*" and change the setting to WCDMA only. Then the phone got no signal at all, so I changed back to WCDMA preferred. Then I did ping test but it did not seem to work very well.
Then I played with some APN setting and I realized that I lost data connection completely (phone still working)
I have tried to reset the phone but no luck.
Can anyone please help me with the problem? I am using T-mobile.
Thank you.
Pull your battery, and look at the back of your phone. At the top of the dark area there are numbers, look at the PB or FCC ID numbers. If they end in 9110 then you have an AT&T version of the phone, and the hardware will not work with T-Mobile's 3G service...

are you in the USA? you need to list your location. it is likely that you purchased the wrong version of the nexus one. there is an ATT version and a tmobile version. each only works with the proper 3G. so an ATT n1 on tmobile only gets edge, and vice versa. check which version you own.
i have two one the htc one's and one will connect to 4g the other will not. anyone else have the same problem. also anyone know the ##code to get into the edit/program section?

Hmmm..I just exchanged my silver for a black one and also cannot get 4g. My wife has one and hers gets it just fine. My old one did as well. I have checked all the setting suggested above and still nada. Seems this one is going back as well.
I'm on my 2nd HTC one and it operates the same as my 1st one.. In the dock of my car it connects to 4G just fine..with in a few seconds of handling the phone it drops to 3G..It works fine in great signal areas but on the out skirts of an LTE tower it just won't hold 4G..

Im in the same boat. Seems like 4g is HORRIBLE with this phone. Had the Note 2 and wife has GS4 both pick up 4g no problem, but the One picks up 4g for couple seconds then drops off completely. Yes, I tested this in the same areas.
really bummed out cuz I got the phone used so i can't return it. Love the phone, but its useless if i can't get 4g because Sprint's 3g is so slow its unusable.

Well I just exchanged my black and went back to silver and still the same issue. I am starting to think the guy that set up my phone on my account jacked something up. I have been all through the service provisioning matching it to my friend that has one....and only found one difference. Seems my phone is only picking up CDMA-EVDO Rev-a instead of CDMA - eHRPD. When I change the prefered network from LTE/CDMA it will try to connect to eHRPD but then switches back to EVDO and no 4G. So I will try to call sprint and have them inspect my account as I have not seen a way in the service programming to force eHRPD. It would be nice to have the others that are having this issue check the Mobile network type as well and see what they are running.
Try not touching the phone and see that it holds 4G until you touch it...I know its pretty useless to not be able to touch your phone but this has been my experience.
In my experience, not touching the phone does not seem to fix the problem. I do notice a small signal loss if I have the left side of the phone against the palm of my hand. The real issue here seems to be related to the phone having some sort of broken threshold from when to switch to 3g to 4g and how much better the 3g signal has to be in order to decide to switch off of 4g to 3g.
I noticed that the LTE Scan Time is set way higher than what the EVO LTE is set to with latest firmware (300 on the HTC One vs 5 on the EVO LTE). I have not had much time to test changing this to see if it makes a real difference or not though. You can check what your LTE scan time is set to in ##3282#. You will need to get your MSL to change it if you want to do that (there is a method to get your MSL without rooting here on XDA).
Another thing you can try to see if it is indeed a reception problem or a problem with the phone not switching between 3G and 4G smartly is to set the phone to LTE / CDMA(1xRTT) only. You can do this in *#*#4636#*#* under the phone information submenu. Tap where it says "CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto" and change it to "LTE, CDMA" or even "LTE only".

Issue resolved for me! After 6 phone exchanges I was able to uncover what was causing the phone to not get on eHRPD which is Sprints upgraded software on the towers. I called sprint support and made them verify my UICC ID under about/phone identity, this also is the same as number as the SIM id. They did not match what was on my account. I went back to Best Buy and they called activation's and they sent a profile update with the correct SIM and UICC ID and it solved the issue. No more 104 data issues and I can get 4G now. WOO HOO!
I do want to say that Sprint really went to bat for me to get this resolved. I have to say thanks to the San Diego Sprint rep who kept in touch with me through out all of this.....Thank you man!!!

You have to call sprint customer care to have them verify what you have on your phone. I recommend calling from some other phone when you call though. Just explain that you are having issues with your data and you heard that sometimes the UUIC ID/SIM ID are incorrect. They might come back and tell you, "well thats for international only" but in fact the SIM ID is used for LTE from what I found out. Just insist (nicely) that you just want to try it.
On the phone you can see your SIM ID under settings/about/Phone Identity.
One way to see if this fixes the issue is look under settings/about/Network and look under Mobil Network Type. If it is always running in EvDo rev A. then you have the issue if the towers in your area have Network Vision updated towers.
Hope this helps...PM me if you want more information. I can also get you tower data in your area if you would like.
slayer69, Thank you so much for your quick response. My phone runs with EHRPD when it showed 3G, not rev. A. However, my phone had the same issue, not connecting to 4G/LTE. From time to time, it will show 4G signal on the bar. However, when I tried to use it, it will switch back to 3G. I will call sprint to verify if tI have the sim card issue.
---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------
I talked with Sprint. It seemed that my SIM/UICC code is matched with the system. So my problem is still not resolved. I used an app to check the signal information, which showed that I have -70dB LTE signal. However, I just can't connect to LTE.
It seems that it is not only me. Check this link

Hey everyone I just bought an unlocked HTC One and switched the SIM card from my iPhone 5 into the new phone. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, and installed ARHD Sense version and I am having problems with the phone getting LTE. No matter where I am, I am unable to acquire LTE on the phone. Even in places where I know for sure that it has LTE (due to getting it previously on my iPhone) I'm stuck on HSPA+. Anyone have any ideas what the problem might be? Faulty device maybe? Would rather not have to send the phone back. I have tried also changing the APN, which changed nothing.

Do you have LTE turned on? You should be on LTE/GSM/WDCMA under Network Mode in settings. Wording may very depending on your ROM.
Yeah I have Lte enabled, which is why I'm confused as to why lte is not working.

My best guess... Consider calling AT&T and switching off the iPhone data plan to a "smartphone" data plan. I don't know the differences between the 2 but it could be effecting your ability to connect to lte from the one.

I know what ya mean... You could also try flashing at&ts latest radio... It probably only really effects AT&T based roms but it's supposed to open up some new lte bands. I used the link from post 95. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2325564&page=10 just make sure you grab the right one installing the one for cm 10 on a sense Rom will mess up your signal strength because it replaces some ril files while flashing the radio. It's a shot in the dark but wont hurt to try.

That actually used to be a really common problem, but they seem to use the same data plans for all smartphones now. Still, might be worth a try.

Thanks will try that out soon. Also, to the person above, tried flashing an AT&T radio, which didn't help anything, but was worth the shot. Thanks for the help guys.
EDIT: So tried out switching it to LTE Only and it wouldn't let the setting stick. It would automatically change the preferred network type back to what it was whenever selecting LTE Only. Also, the LTE, CDMA option did not change anything. Again thanks for the help, I'm just going to send it back and hope for the best with a new device.

well, I am not an expert on the tmobiles network, but going by what lazybozz, said, I seem to remember tmobile using different bands than the other carriers, so what you may be experiencing, is the phone being in the vicinity of multiple towers, but not all of them are within the band that the phone supports. So its like the phone doesnt even see those towers. On a side note, this issue caused alot of chaos for those who unlocked iphones about 3 years ago, they could use EDGE on tmobiles network but not 3G, so i assume this is a similar situation. So long story short, yeah you probably cant fix the problem, unless you get a quad band phone. I could be wrong, but it does sound like a logical reason for the issue you are having.
as elvisypi said above, Its the freq that T-mobile operates on in that area. If your getting T-mobile at all in the states then you have already flashed a radio. However flashing any other radio is not going to give you the freq that tmobile uses, Its not a software limitation its a physical hardware limitation.
Thanks for your reply, do you know any app out there that monitor and alarm you when the network or signal is lost ? That works with 4.3 ?That way at least you know the phone is offline ... some of the apps I tried is anything at all ...
Thanks
Have you tried an app like tasker? Its essentially an automation app. It isnt jist for your use. Its for many different functions. Jist look on the app store for tasker. That might help

Are you sure there is no LTE. I believe come of the notification icons are finicky. In other words, on mine someone it will show extremly low service bars but does not affect my phone? or data in any noticable way. Also are you in a bad service area?
What does the top right say? Have you received lte on previous devices being in the same location where you are now?

Radio for 5.0.1 ends with .04R. Do you ever show LTE in settings, see my screenshot. I've got Verizon obviously but with TMo you should get LTE too. If you have another phone stick the sim card in it and see if you get LTE in the other phone. If not could be the sim. Could be bad signal area too. FWIW TMo LTE is band 4 and soon to come band 12.
Wow. Thanks all for responses. @vvveith I am in an excellent service area LTE for miles! @zephiK Yes I used data over LTE on my Nexus 5 just fine. @jawmail Yes my radio ends with .04R. Sadly I do not have another phone nor SIM card adaptor to try your method with. Would the newer radio make my data signal fluctuate b/w 3G, H, and LTE? I understand that this is a different phone but I swapped radios on the Nexus4/5 all the time and it never hurt anything.

I understand that this is a different phone but I swapped radios on the Nexus4/5 all the time and it never hurt anything.

1) Did you get LTE on the 5.0 Radio?
2) Try setting it to LTE/GSM auto (PRL) instead
3) When you say APN is correct. Which one are you using / looking for? Ensure it is T-Mobile 4G LTE IPv6 (if its already on IPv6 try IPv4)
If worst comes to worst, go to the T-Mobile store and get a free SIM card replacement, if they don't want to give you a free SIM. Give them a call, it'll take a couple days to arrive but T-Mo employees are quite nice about giving SIM cards. Especially since you paid for a N6 which is expensive.

1.)Yes i did and it was much more reliable.
2.)Overnight I switched b/w those two settings and kept getting the same result.
3.)I switched the APN to IPV4/6 and that seemed(?) to have solved it.
This has been going on for a couple days so I might see if I can get a new SIM.

You had it right, its under more > cellular > access point names (APN), then select your carrier.

For the rom I am on I don't see under cellular the option for APN. Do I have to be back to factory to see it.
