Have anyone got HTC Vivid worked for T-mobile 4G. I always get "E". I heard LTE (1700/2100) can be used for Tmobile 4G after flash a tmobile 4G radio. Is this kind of radio available for Vivid?

Ive wondered the same thing myself but found nothing but you can also use straight talk or h20 wireless if you are tired of Edge.

I don't think anyone has discovered a radio yet that will allow us to use t mobile...I'm no dev so I really don't know what it takes to make a radio compatible...but if you want (risk bricking your device) you can experiment and flash some t mobile HTC radios...maybe like the sensations or something...idk

I've got a Vivid on T-Mobile..haven't need to swap radios or anything. i get tmobile 4g just fine, only problem i have with mine is SMS occasionally hangs making me have to factory reset and reinstall a rom

That's interesting. Does you Vivid show 4G icon? How do you know it is 4G.
T-mobile uses UMTS/AWS: 1700/2100 Mhz for 3G/4G (not really 4G though), while Vivid 4G in AT&T uses LTE/700 MHz Class 17, 1700/2100 MHz. I don’t think you can use Vivid in T-mobile 4G, not even 3G, unless you flash a correct T-mobile radio.
I think the most possible working radio in Vivid for T-mobile 4G is HTC Amaze. It has UMTS: 850, (AWS) 1700/2100, 1900, 2100MHz. I am not daring to try it.
"H" icon and speedtest give speeds of 8-10mb/s down and 2mb/s up, faster than what my T-Mobile G2 was giving me.. i think on stock ics rom it was showing 4g icon but i havent used it in a while

That's weird. I don't know how you can get 4G. I hope someone (Dev) can explain it. I always get "E" with 150kb down and 120kb up. I am in a stock ICS though. There was a thread discussed the possiblilty:

What ROM, radio, and kernel combo are you using?
I almost temped to try the amaze radio but I would have to read more up on it.Whats the worst could happen brick my phone and have to run the ruu.what do you guys think?

I have no clue what the ramifications are. Are the platforms the same?
I'm still interested in what combo is used above.
So I pulled radio.img from the Amaze factory ROM: RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3_R2_Radio_1.14.550L.17DC_30.78.550L.15_release_262141_signed.zip
According to this, the radio is 1.14.550L.17DC_30.78.550L.15. I did a fastboot flash (fastboot flash radio radio.img) and it did it, had progress bars on the screen, and the cmd prompt windows said OKAY. However, when I go into Settings > About Phone > Software Info > More, the Baseband still shows 3.02.4740.14_34.22.701040.19, and I still have the E at the top.
It was worth a shot...
**EDIT**
Fastboot output:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash radio radio.img
sending 'radio' (21997 KB)... OKAY
writing 'radio'... OKAY
I get the green progress bar during sending, and then the red progress bar during writing, so I thought it worked.

All in the screenshots.. ive not changed out the radio at all, using Virtuous Inquisition and at the time it was probably one of the older Kozmic kernels
Same baseband as mine. I might try this ROM & Kernel combo to see if I get the H. You said 'at the time', are you using a different combo now and still getting HSPA+?
Another question I had was regarding your SMS issue, do you still have it? Mine generally works for a few days, the any SMS I send is stuck in 'Pending'. If I reboot, the first message (or oldest in the queue) will go out, but no others. If I do a full wipe in recovery, SMS works again.

still using kozmics kernel, just updated and i still get hspa+, as for the sms issues, yes i still have the problems where it gets stuck on sending and even when i restart that txt usually does not go through and i end up having to do a factory reset or restore a backup and it works again for a while, then quits..i just rinse and repeat when this happens
Gonna test the ROM & kernel shortly. Was hoping for a fix for the SMS issue, but been using gvoice as a workaround.
---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ----------
Running Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.2.1 & KozmiKKernel RC2 and still only have the E. I tried changing the bearer for the APN to eHRPD & LTE, but I lose mobile data, I have to leave it as Unspecified.
What does it show for Mobile network type in Settings > About phone > Status?
Man this SMS issue is annoying. Took backup, full wipe, loaded Virtuous ROM, SMS worked fine, backup of Virtuous, wipe, restore of Stock ICS, no SMS
when im at home i usually get stuck on edge only..when i leave home im able to pick up 3g and 4g..took these screenshots today while i was out
That's awesome. Maybe I didn't leave mine on long enough? On the Note & Skyrocket threads, people mentioned signal degradation. I normally only get EDGE inside my work, but 4G outside the building. I tested outside the building, but reflashed to stock after. The non-working contacts autofill killed me. Now the no sms is killing me, maybe I'll try virtuous again shortly.
Only difference I see is that ? in the square after T-Mobile, and 0 dBm

Probably not. T-Mobile's and ATTs 3g bands were different frequencies (1700mhz vs 850/1900). However, in some places T-mobile has started to use 1900mhz and unlocked ATT devices will work. This seems to be random right now and even T-mobile support may not be able to tell you where.
Or you can do what I did, and get nrvate's CM10 build for the i957 (I'm a noob so no links for me yet) then flash this radio: Tmo_SGH-T989_UVLE1_radio.zip (Google it). I get full HSPA+ and have clocked DL speeds up to 19000kbs. Of course YMMV, and no guarantees that it will work for you, won't brick your tab or kill your pets.

WHOA!, are you saying you are getting HSPA+ on TMobile!?
can you PM me a link how to do this. I have my tab rooted, but no roms installed yet. Do you have the links for the roms? What recovery are you using to flash?
Thanks!

Yeah it works well with the only problem being the power usage is rather high, and drains faster in idle. After looking at logcat I think this radio doesn't go into idle mode properly so keeps sucking power when not in use. Running it's a little less usage (maybe 30 min less) but on idle it drains in 24 hrs. Turning off 3g helps but for me I can live with this to get 20mb down. When ICS for the i957 finally shows up it should be possible to see a better radio get put in CM10 (which is still in early development, but that's what the ROM below is based on).
I'm using TWRP for recovery. After Clockwork being kind of wonky I have seen the light and use TWRP on all my devices. It just works.
The ROM is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867579 and go to post#2. There are some issues but it runs remarkably well for being like 3 weeks old.
This is the radio I used from a Galaxy SII. Google Tmo_SGH-T989_UVLE1_radio.zip and get it from Dev Host. I found out about it looking at radios for similar hardware and found that the Note is close so I took a chace and did it. So far so good!

This is great to hear. I am going to hold off for now, as I would have to open a TMobile account, and I really dont NEED to have this until I start traveling in a few months.
Now what would be AMAZING, is if somehow this tablet could work on verizon. I have a huge corporate account with them and it would cost me next to nothing to add the tablet to the account, assuming it would work. I didn't think it was possible, but then again, I didn't think TMobile high speed connection was possible either.
Any idea if there is a way to get this working on verizon? Or if anyone is even trying?

I can tell you that is impossible. T-Mobile uses GSM and Verizon uses CDMA. You can only put a SIM card device on GSM carriers (TMO and ATT).

I could not tell you as T-Mobile doesn't have LTE yet. TMO will use a band that the i957 can support, but it will probably take another radio (if any) to work. I've seen 21mb down from HSPA+ so even if I never see LTE I can't be too disappointed

Yes it is. The device was locked at ATT and AFAIK there is no other way other than going through a unlock service. I used cellunlocker.net. $25 and your IMEI gets you a code in a few hours.

As I said that is impossible because the carriers use incompatible setups. SIM card carriers (GSM) will only work with other SIM card carriers. Verizon uses CDMA with no SIM cards. The networks themselves are completely different and hardware cannot be hacked to work. Most of the world uses GSM with SIM cards and if you travel overseas, you'll need a GSM device to use unlocked devices on any networks. Blame Verizon for picking a standard that 80% of the world doesn't use
Has anyone tried flashing the tmobile high speed radio but on the current rooted stock ICS rom instead of the cm10 rom?
In other words, i have a stock rooted sgh-i957 on samsungs ICS rom and i want to be able to use tmobile high speed network (HSPA+). Does anyone know if thats possible?

I've been using a Galaxy S3 LTE version on 3 in the UK for the last 6-10 months. I've recently bought a HTC One 2nd hand, which came with an O2 stock ROM.
I remember when I checked initially, in 'Network mode' there were 4 options, the last one of which mentioned LTE. I did a speed test and got somewhere in the region of 10 or 11mbps.
I've now flashed two different custom ROM's and neither had those 4 options, just 2, neither mentioning LTE or 4G.
Now, I know 3 doesn't have LTE yet, but they do have DC-HSDPA, which is usually available on phones that are LTE capable.
I've just done a speed test on the HTC One and then my S3 LTE, the One score 7 mbps, the S3 10 mbps.
So, any ideas how I can get the LTE option back?

Since you know the speed that you are getting now, have you tried flashing your M7 back to a stock rom (there are plenty of links available for you to do this) and seen what speed you get with that? If the speed is the same on a stock ROM, then you know it's not a ROM issue.
I have found a RUU that will take it back to stock, which I was thinking to try, but then as I say, I know I could get 10mbps already, is there really anything to gain doing this?
I may anyway. If I can get DC back, I would stick with that ROM and root probably.
Any links for the O2 stock ROM though? That's what I know had it.

2. I was getting download speeds on 3 of 12-15 mbps.
3. The phone is advertised as having DC-HSDPA.
All One models sold in the UK are 4G. The difference appears to be that some have the 4G option disabled by the operator, but I guess this can be changed easily by a sim update by the operator.
Sorry to be a pain, but one thing I realise is H+ can give you speeds up over 10mbps, surely that's not proof that you're getting DC-HSDPA? Can you remember what Network Signal Info said in the connection type?
I was getting 15mbps on speedtests with 3 (without 4G/LTE option in settings). It's unlikely to get 15mbps on just H+, because the theoretical maximum is 21mbps (EE on H+ only gets 2mbps on a speedtest). I can't remember what Network Signal Info said the network type was, but the speed next to it said 42mbps - which is DC-HSDPA.
What speeds do you get on a speedtest?
Edit: Just seen that you say you get 10 or 11. I don't think you will get higher than that in London on DC-HSDPA. In a city centre I was getting 8-10, and 15 away from the city.
I'm just back from work, where I scored a 11mbps whilst I only had an H connection, so I was thinking maybe I am getting DC... then I've read this -

It definitely doesn't say 42mbps as my max in the app. If it switches to H+ it jumps to 21 max, but I've not seen 42 while I'm on the custom ROM.

10 or 11 is (was) on a DC enabled phone, with the LTE option. On a custom ROM I hadn't gotten above 7, until I got the 11 at work. I'm rather confused though if you say the app knows when you have DC. I think I need to do a bit more testing on my S3 LTE...
**EDIT** Interestingly, on my S3 it says 'HSPA (14.4Mbit/s)', so it doesn't mention DC, but has doubled up the maximum speed. HSPA+ still shows as a maximum of 21Mbit/s though.
Also, the S3 does list LTE in the 'Network mode' options.

I can't imagine it being specific to O2 (given O2 doesn't have LTE). Just flash any stock ROM.
So using the O2 stock Nandroid I got from this thread I have the LTE option back, although only 3 options in all, I recall there were 4 on the original ROM I had.
I just clocked a 12 Mbit/s download, which I think is the fastest I've seen from home. Check that, second run and I've just got 17.28 Mbps!!! That's FAR better than I've ever had before!
Network Signal Info still only says either HSDPA at 7.2 or H+ at 21.6 though
Now I just need to figure how I can apply the 1.29.206.11 OTA. I think I need to go back to stock recovery to apply it, then I hope I can come back to CWM and then root...

Hello. Some one try to flash radio firmware from verizon sgs4(it has unlocked gsm) ? it work for nexus but vice verca
This method DOES NOT work. Sprint BLOCKS US GSM carriers. To get an international unlock you need to call sprint and ask for one. At this time there is NO way to get US GSM signal on the sprint S4.
EDIT: Apparently this will make your phone unable to connect to a femtocell. Be careful
Do not try this mod. It will mess up your phone and how it connects to the Sprint Airave.

Please let me know how the factory reset works out for you. My phone is officially messed up. My 3g was not working at all. I would only connect LTE. After troubleshooting forever with sprint, my 3G is working again but it is very slow. I also notice that it does not auto roam to Verizon at all.

How was the speed though? It may show "3G" but my guess is that it's really 2G speed or something on TW.

I've had massive issues with my 3g after this method. The 3g is super slow and I know something is not right. Is there an app that displays the cdma band that the phone is currently operating on? I read somewhere that it screws up the phones ability to access the cdma 850 band.

There is another thread that is similar to this for unlocking the sim. I tried it, and possible messed my phone up. I was getting slow 3g speeds and mobile data drop outs. I fixed my issue by doing a complete factory reset/ clearing NVRAM. This is how I did it:

##72786# should reset your network settings. Just make sure you are in a working 3G coverage area or have a WiFi connection or it wont re-activate. This method does not put your phone back to stock...just reactivates it on the network.
Sorry for the unusable info...
But i got this news from Sprint Htc One thread, that they are able to unlocked the device by simply rooting the phone and sending a line in terminal...
Is it possible to do this with ours?

1. You should be rooted
2. Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
3. Run Terminal Emulator
4. Type "su" (excluding quotation marks) and grant it superuser permission
5. Type "am start com.redbend.vdmc/com.htc.omadm.test.TestMainActivity" (excluding quotation marks)
6. You will get menu on your HTC
7. In that menu, select "API", then scroll down 'till almost end and select "simlock"
8. Reboot the phone and hopefully it would accept GSM SIM
9. Enter *#*#4636#*#* in your dialer
10.In the phone information section(the first one) set preferred network type to something that is GSM specific: "WCDMA Preferred", for example. The phone will switch to GSM mode

Hello,
I am having some problems with my AT&T Galaxy Note 3. I have not been able to figure out the cause. I flashed Dynamic Kat (newest version) on my phone and it is having problems making outgoing calls. I show 3 bars 4G LTE and when it switches to 4G while making a call, the reception goes to 0. I wait and the phone shows that it is not registered on a mobile network. The weird part is that sometimes the phone can make an outgoing call. I have tried two different ROMs and so I think its probably the phone's fault. My mobile network works.
Another symptom is that sometimes when I restart the phone, the phone says it does not have reception and I have to take out the battery and try again. Are there any settings in the samsung hidden menu that would cause this problem?
Data and everything else works, it just that when it switches to 4G while making the reception goes to 0.
I had the MLG version of Kk installed on my note 3, and had great reception. Untill I used Alliance rom, which has the newer modem on it. I flashed the MLG modem on the Alliance rom and have had great service again. You can give that a try.

That could be it. I did flash Alliance rom before. I'll update with results when I have time to change modem.
Having the same issue on 2 unrooted phones after updating to the newest Kit Kat ROM. Most of the time it shows 2 bars and I can't make calls or receive them. Calls go straight to voicemail without missed call notification. Phones are now worthless in low reception areas. I had to resort to Voice IP using Ring.To and my home wifi to get my incoming calls.

A couple things to note. Samsung phones radios are weaker then other phones (at least that's what at&t told me lol)
2nd thing to note 4G LTE and 4G are both for data not phone calls. Phones calls I believe are sent over the edge network.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

My phone always drops down to 4G/HSPA+ to make or receive calls. I have never seen it use edge during a call.
Samsung radios may suck, but they've gotten a hell of a lot better. I live in a pretty strong LTE area and with my old Samsung Galaxy Nexus I could barely get LTE unless I was directly under a tower. My Note 3 holds onto LTE all day long in areas where I barely got 3G with my Gnex.
My only complaint with the Note 3's reception is when I'm at the gym. It's a steel/concrete building so it's near impossible for anyone to get a signal in there, but somehow my Gnex managed to do it. It was only 1x, but that was enough to send texts. My Note 3 says screw it and cuts out completely. I was on Verizon with the Gnex and now I'm on AT&T (obviously), so perhaps the different frequencies used by the carriers has something to do with it.
