AT&T N1 Anyway to turn on or enable HSPA?

Just got my ATT N1 and was wondering if there is any way of turning on HSPA? I just got my Telus droid last week and that has HSPA and i like how fast it is...The milestone shows 3g and H when downloading. how can i enable the N1 to to d/l on or show the H? Thanks in advanced...
Also is anyone having reception issues...on the N1 im having 2-3 bars when my droid and 3gs is full bars...if so i hope there is also a fix for that...

perhaps the nexus doesnt have a HSPA icon and just displays a 3g one in its place, easiest way to know is download a SPEEDTEST app and check your data speeds.
i had the droid myself, just sold it. and got the nexus, the droid showed HSPA since thats prob available in Canada, not in US. So it was essentially what i described above

if i understand right its that u cant, the N1's 3g wasnt built to work with atts 3g so your only ever gonna get half of the 3g through att, so no hspa on Att, could be wrong though.

The factory ROM doesn't show an H, it uses the 3G icon for both.
You can look in the settings to see if you're on HSDPA or not when downloading.

the rom's are personal preference. I personally use cyanogen as it has everything i need right now.

AT&T MVNO's with LTE

My contact is up in December so I am considering switching to pre-paid. Net 10's BYOS program is $45 a month on auto payment for unlimited everything with non-LTE 4G data speeds. But now that I've had a taste of LTE I don't want to give it up! So the only option I can find is AT&T's Go Phone unlimited with 2gb's of LTE for $60. That is still a savings of $40 a month for me with 1gb less data than I have now.
Does anybody know of a better deal out there? Or have any reasons why I shouldn't switch to pre-paid?

I use AIO wireless. AT&T owns the company. It's a flat $55 for unlimited everything. The catch is that it is only 2gb worth of LTE and then they throttle you down to 3G after that, which is still better than Straight Talk or Net 10 which throttles you to edge speeds, which to me is unusable. They also have a $70 a month plan with 7gb of LTE. I don't pay the extra $15 because I don't spend enough time in LTE areas to justify it.

I was looking over Aio's site and in their FAQ's there is multiple statements claiming "speeds up to 8mbs". I attached a screen shot. Is this true to date? I am currently getting 20-50mbs in my area on AT&T'S LTE. Which I am assuming will be the same with "Go Phone".

Where I spend 90% of my time is in 3G(my home) and 4G(work) so I can't vouch for the LTE speeds but I do know that I usually get around 1.5mbs on 3G and 3-4mbs on 4G, both of which are enough for me to be able to stream music and video. That holds true to the speeds they report on their website so I imagine it would be accurate for the LTE as well. I've never messed with the Go phone route so I don't know about their speeds but if I had to guess, I think your assumption would be correct. But I routinely exceed the the allotted 2gb, which is why I left Straight Talk in the first place.

Data on Nexus 6

How does data on Nexus 6 compare to the old Motor X?

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but if you're inquiring about mobile data, it's simply fantastic.

Thanks what I'm looking for is how is it in real life. Does it hold on to 4G compared to other phones. I want to buy one as soon as I can get my hands on one I'm on Version I have missed Google Play and Motorola I think they only sold about 10 phones lol. I'm in a tuff signal area if the radios are not good the phone is useless to me. Thanks.

Again, IRL it's really fast. I get LTE coverage just about everywhere, but when I'm on HSPA it responds just as quick. I stream a lot of music with Google Play since it doesn't count against my data with T-Mo, and I have it set for highest quality on mobile network, and songs play back to back with no buffering. Browsing the web is just as seamless in my experiences so far.

Thanks maybe I'll be able to snag one on Google or Moto tomorrow Wed is supposed the magic day.

I've been running on Verizon for about 3 weeks now, with my old phone (RAZR maxx HD) I was always dropping to 3g at work, since switching I think it has only dropped to 3g once at work.

Thanks that's what I'm looking for are you holding on to 4G any better?

Yes it is very good at holding 4g for me and I don't get the battery drain I used to get at work.

Your probably getting a better signal that's why your battery was better. I can get stuck here in a bad 3G area and it will suck the battery right out the phone always searching for signal even with my Droid Maxx whose radios are pretty darn good.

Mobile hotspot Sprint

I tried the Sprint lg g4 mobile hotspot hack, its working but Sprint still sees my data usage which i used 90% already! Is there a way for Sprint not to see my usage? My firmware is zv6 please need help with this

If you root you can use WIFI Tether Router. That is why I never liked this method. But I don't think you will get flagged. Just don't abuse it.
By the way USB Tether works great and is legit. Bluetooth works too but pretty slow.

To clarify the question: are you trying to get unlimited data, as in you don't want Sprint to know how much data you are using on your plan, so you can just pay for 1 GB but have unlimited use?

Yea, I got 6gb Data plan with them I thought the Hotspot hack would allow me to use unlimited data

That's not how it works. This allows you data through your phone up to your cap (then you hit overages). You have to be on an unlimited plan to get unlimited data.

There is absolutely, positively, without a doubt, ZERO way for you to hide your data usage from Sprint.
So long as a device on your account is registering to their network and requesting bandwidth, they're going to know who requested it.
If there were a way to use the network without registering your device, I can almost guarantee you that you wouldn't find the method on these forums. I'm on quite a few forums for reverse engineering, etc and just like with major holes that allow you to activate expensive software without paying for it, the method to do so would be kept a closely guarded secret in Elite forums where you'd have to prove yourself by being in VIP forums and not leaking anything, for a long time or be responsible for discovering hacks/exploits/etc.
When stuff like that is discovered, the more people know and exploit it, the more risky it is that Sprint will notice and patch the hole, or someone will tell a friend that's got a big damn mouth and next thing you know it's all over public forums like these and sprint pushes a network hot fix in less time than it takes the initial thread to have a second page of replies.

I have a Nexus 6 on Google Project Fi. At home, my phone switches between LTE and eHRPD when on Sprint. This happens about every 20 seconds. Project Fi support thought I had corrupted software and wanted me to do a factory reset. I will monitor your thread to see if any of the suggestions posted for your problem would help mine. Good luck.

And I want to add its not the service because my girlfriend has a cheap metro PCs a phone and the signal is always strong

I updated my N6 from MOB30W to MOB31E and my signal strength and service continuity is much improved. The radio baseband did not change so there must be a software update or refresh that has helped my situation.

I'm using metro PCs got the unlimited everything the LTE is surprisingly fast.

Before I switched to Verizon I had my Nexus 6 on MetroPCS, and WiFi calling worked for incoming/outgoing calls and SMS but not MMS. You need to contact Metro to get your E911 address updated if WiFi calling isn't working for you. Didn't have B12 near me though.
