Hey, is anyone else receiving less than par download speeds on straight talk? In my settingsit only say hsdpa,not hspa+. I've been up and down this forum and others but couldn't get anywhere. That's why I'm now posting. Its almost rediculous. 50kbps is just unacceptable for a supposedly 4g phone and plan. Can anyone help me,or share what they did to fix it? Thanks so much.

I also have Straight Talk also and I read that at&t phones can't use the Lte/Hspa+ I believe if you get a T-Mobile phone and get a T-Mobile sim from Straight Talk then you can use hspa+ you can verify this on Howard Forums they have a section just for Straight Talk customers there.
Thanks so much.. lol finally

I'm moving to an area where I don't get service and after taking to att, they said I'm screwed basically. Us cellular has excellent service there. So my question is if I unlock will I be able to bounce off their towers? I'm on continium 5.5. And does anyone have a sip account they recommend? Thanks guys

No problem. Glad i could help.
I wanted to try it too, but web site says that they have no numbers at this time.
I will have to check back later. I'm trying to use CSipSimple app with antisip and I'm getting no where.
I'm on DlevRom 5.0 with DarkCore, so I'm going to his thread and ask if his Rom will allow wifi calling.
Just to throw this out there -
From what I understand (and it could be wrong), if AT&T can't provide service to you in a given area, they're not technically holding up their end of the TOS of your contract, and you would have grounds to get out of your contract without having to pay the ETF. Basically, when you signed on, they said they would provide you with cellular phone service and you would provide them with monetary compensation. If they can't give you the service, they are in breach of contract, and you shouldn't (keyword: shouldn't) have to stay in the contract with them.
I'm no AT&T (or cell phone plans in general) expert, so take this with a grain of salt, but you might want to call AT&T and have a discussion about this and see what your options are.
Anyone else have any thoughts / opinions / experience with this issue?
I got a htc vivid in today and i was wondering can i get data with no lte sim. Att told me i cant but im guessing they are doing that to try to make money. I am using my sim that came with my infuse 4g. IS there any apn settings i can do to get my data working?

Lol just posted in your sale thread about this...

You need to use legacy apns...don't remebef where they are but they are somewhere here on the vivid forums...
To get LTE you just need to call att, you don't need a new sim, they just need to switch you to LTE...you will keep the same plan and you will not be charged extra...you will need to provide the sim card number and the imei number to the att rep...
I called att and asked the same thing about LTE sim...so I went in to an att store to get a new one...turns out the infuse sim is the correct sim...they just got set you up to use LTE towers by calling them

The legacy apns are in the general knowledge thread that is stickied

And if the inspire has the same sim as the infuse you just need to call att...and they will give you LTE at no additional cost...
The problem isn't the sim...its just that they have you set up to use different types of apns...so a quick call and they will set you up with LTE...here's a picture of an LTE compatible sim...that is what was in the vivid when I got it and looks the same as the one that was in my infuse...
And since the inspire was called HTC inspire 4G just like the infuse was called Samsung infuse 4G...then I assume they have the same sim card...and if you don't have the right sim you can go to an att store and get an LTE compatible sim for free...they can also set you up to use LTE in a store...

Lol don't worry you keep your plan...I was worried too but I talked to att sales rep and they told me I wouldnt be charged and would stick with the same plan...but since I'm under 18 and didn't have my mom with me I just went home and called...
And now...I'm on LTE and wasn't charged and still on my same plan...
Here's what I did...choose option for billing/payments...then choose other billing/payment...then speak with sales rep...
Once I was on the line with sales rep they asked what they could help me with
I said "hi I would like to add LTE to a line"
Rep: "which line would you like"
Me: "555-555-5555"...excpet my actual number...
Rep: "so you want to add LTE to your infuse, correct?"
Me: "no, I recently purchased an HTC vivid"
Rep: "was this an upgrade?"
Me: "no, I bought it off contract"
Rep: "ok so you want to add LTE to your HTC vivid correct?"
Me: "yes"
Rep: "ok, I will need your imei and sim card #, are you currently using the HTC vivid?"
Me: "no, my sim number is xxxxxxxxxx, my imei is xxxxxxxxxx"
****waited while she applied changes to the system, asked if I was interested in u-verse and finally it was done...I hung up put sim and battery in the vivid...booted up and had LTE...I deleted my legacy apns prior to the call****
*****the conversation above is not exact...but that is what I remember of it...*****

I have an AT&T HTC Vivid that I've rooted, S-Off, Unlocked, and love the phone, but would like 4G.
I tried flashing the Amaze radio.img, but it appeared to do absolutely nothing. I can't even validate it loaded the radio. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798610
It's been done on other devices, as pointed out in that thread, so I believe it's possible.
There's also this thread, which makes total sense to me (the reasons it can work): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548553
So, I will donate $100 USD to the first dev that can get this working.
**EDIT**
If this needs to be posted somewhere else, I apologize in advance.

You mean T-Mobile? I basically want to use the AT&T 4G LTE phone on T-Mobile's HSPA+, since AT&T's 4G LTE uses the 1700MHz frequency needed for TMO's HSPA+. TMO isn't slated to get LTE until next year some time.
Oh my bad.

I started the first thread mentioned above. However I gave up, sent the Vivid back and got a HTC Amaze 4G. Now it works perfect in Tmobile 4G.
Since I didn't get a single response, mods please close this thread. I've sold the phone and moved on
Hey guys, I have a Droid 4 with Verizon and want to drop them for Straight talk and save a fortune. Straight talk uses Verizon towers in my area, and I want to use my same phone, but I read a few places that Verizon phones won't work with Straight talk. Is this true? My phone has a sim card (one of the smaller ones) so I don't know why it wouldn't work. Anyone have any in site or advice on this? Thanks in advance for any help guys.

I am in the same boat as you. I am in the LA area, and I had good signal in my neighborhood too. However, I can't connect with LTE either, even when I stand next to the tower.
The most weird thing is: I went to the store fore return. When I hit the store, my phone works with LTE outside of the store. I have to go home. Now my phone still has no LTE connection.
It looks like that it is Sprint or HTC software issue. I had no clue what to do though.

Call Sprint customer care and have them check your UICC ID under settings/about/phone identity. I had exchanged my phone and this number didn't update and caused me to not get 4g when others had it. Its the same number as your SIM ID and is required to match your phone. Seems to be a common issue with setting up the HTC One since is has a SIM Card. They may argue with you that its for International only....tell them I understand that but you have seen others with this problem and that their UICC ID numbers did not match on the account and that its required to make 4g work.
Ok, thanks

Yea you have to call them with confidence that you know what the issues are. And in markets they have not launched yet just explain that data is very bad on this phone and you get a lot of dropped calls. Then just ask them to please verify the numbers on your account with the phone....and especially the UICC ID.
I live in LA as well, and I only get LTE in a few different specific areas. Should I call them to make sure all of my numbers are correct? Is there anything else I can do?

The uicc I'd #, and it was correct on there system. ...what they have me do was to remove the SIM card, turn off the phone, put back the SIM card in, turn on the phone, update profile & prl. After doing this after 5 mins it showed the 4g on my phone, only for about 5sec.....then it went back to 3g....this was a good sign tho* .. I'm going to try it tommarrow at work since over there there's a steady lte connection...hope it works

Well if not you can always do an Insurance replacement if you have it. There is always a chance you have a bad radio.
