Hello,
I live in a country where 3G is in 2100 Mhz band. I bought the phone unlocked but it is still showing only E even after enter the operator's 3G APN.
I am not able to use the *#*#4636#*#* code OR able to choose the network. It is greyed out.
What should I do?!
Thanks.
That 4636 menu is disabled on the Atrix HD, download the app Phone Info from the market. It will allow you to access the menu and change the network settings.

Its disable on the AT&T Atrix Hd just like on my Atrix 2 AT&T before. But for the Bell Atrix hd we can access the menu and we can change the network settings. Look for the app NETWORK from playstore but im not sure if you can change the network settings.

I'm not sure if this will work with you, but I have an unlocked Bell Atrix HD on AT&T and I had similar problems at first. I was not getting any LTE even though there is LTE in my area.
I went to the AT&T store to tell them, this is what happened: When I first went there to get a micro SIM card (I had a regular SIM), they activated a new card, and put my AHD's IMEI number on my account. This allowed my phone to text, make phone calls, and connect to HSPA+, but no LTE. Well, since this phone is an unlocked version from another carrier, the IMEI number is not recognized by AT&T. So, the system didn't know that I had an LTE phone. So what they had to do was get a real IMEI number from an AHD that they had in the store, change the last number, and apply it to my account. This then activated the 4G LTE data plan for my phone.
I would try this.

Hi,
i have a verizon droid 3, i live in Argentina and im trying to get the 3g running...
I applied the radio flash described here. 3g is still not working, but now Swype is also not working.
When I try to use it it says something about the license and it doesnt work.
I first tried it with the build.prop with the model=xt883, then changed it to droid3 but still no luck.
Anyone knows how to fix, at least my scrybe issues? And if anyone else can help me with the 3g would be awesome
Thanks!
What exactly is it not doing. And swype is probably another issue entirely.

Huh? You changed the model in build.prop to Droid 3? Pretty sure its supposed to be xt883 in the first place, your supposed to use the build.prop in the thread
And I thought the droid 3 was a global phone anyway, even the verizon version
Swype doesnt work at all, its activated but not working.
I changed the model in the build.prop just to see if this was the problem, but apparently something in the radio.img has broken my swype. Is that possible?
Btw, droid3 isnt global. Here in latin america is known as milestone 3, and apparently verizon's droid 3 is a pain in the ass if you want to use 3g here...

If you are using this device is South America then why are you trying to band unlock it? The band unlock was designed for use with AT&T & T-Mobile inside the US. If you are using outside of the US you do not need to perform this procedure.
You probably should flash your device back to stock, make sure you sim unlock it and setup your APN settings.
After flashing back to stock reboot in recovery(hold x then press and hold power, then volume up & down once you see the android!) and perform a factory data reset. Hopefully this will solve your swype issue as well.

what he said
the GSM BANDLOCK is only to prevent the phone to connect to USA networks but in southamerica as long as you have the 850 band it should work! (ATT, TELCEL MX, Others)
you should flash the stock mentioned by devicesnow
(link in my signature if you have/had version xt862 v 5.6.890 or before if you had version 5.7.90X then there are other SBFs that would help)
once in stock change to GSM mode and add APNs if you are on an 850 network it should give 3g and in an 800 (like t-mobile in USA) network should give you edge
also check you are SIM-unlocked (different from band unlocked) so you can detect sims different to verizon.
What a coincidence, I bought my Droid to DevicesNow in eBay haha
When I first received it, it never worked in 3G... I have the APN set up and everything, but still not working...
I'm now using a non-Verizon sim for calls and sms, so the phone is sim-unlocked right?
I'll try applying the sbf, but since it never worked frm the first minute.. I don't think it wil now.
Thanks for your help.

Hello axel.isr,
The Motorola Droid 3 works on 3G Networks HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100. Claro, Personal & Movistar all support 850/1900.
Yes the device is sim unlocked if you are using already for voice and sms. If it wasn't sim unlocked you would be promoted to enter a sim pin code upon powering up the device with your non network sim card installed.
Which device were you using prior to the D3? Do you have a data plan associated with your sim card? Which carrier exactly are you using and what APN settings have you entered into the device?
You can download an app that automatically enters your carriers APN settings for you called tweakker here.
So.. I went back to stock with the sbf, wiped data and everything but still no 3G.
I tried using my sim card in a ZTE N720 and I get 3g connection.
I've tried a lot of apn settings but none of them worked, I also tried Tweake with standard and alternative settigns but still no luck...
Should I have to change the radio, baseband or something? I already have the radio set up to work on GSM auto (prl).

Maybe you could try the 883 radio and build.prop?

What APN are you using?
Try turning off airplane mode then turning it on again
SuperbigextremeFacepalm for me!
I called my carrier to get the apn setting again, changed it and now I at least get Edge connection
If I want to get 3G instead of Edge is there something I can change in my D3 settings or it has something to do with the 3g coverage in my area?
Btw, thanks a lot to everyone for helping me out. Specially to DevicesNow for my awesome D3, I totally love it <3

Glad to see your up and running.
3G will work when in coverage areas and there isn't anything that would need to be done to enable this.
how oh how can i get my AtrixHD to T-Mobile? i called ATT and received my unlock code. i entered my unlock code with a T-Mobile SIM. but i get no service/emergency calls only! the APN even updated itself. but the service bars disappear as soon as the T-Mobile chip is inserted. ive put a Verizon sim in and service was no problem.
i've seen it all over the place here...My AtrixHD on T-Mobile no problems...how plx? and THANK YOU

Have you checked the APN settings. Mine was unlocked when I got it and it just worked. When I downgraded though it wouldn't connect I went in and checked the APN settings and it had lost Tmobile's APN settings. I just re added them and reset and it worked. Hope this help

T-Mobile APN updated automatically. i said that in my original post. i believe my AHD is on ICS 4.0.4 is there an update above this that may be causing the issue? like i said, it is unlocked with ATT Sim Lock code but will not receive service except for Emergency Calls only. when the T-Mobile sim is inserted the network bars disappear but the APN updates
It looks like the phone is successfully unlocked.
You can double check the APN settings against the ones recommended by T-Mobile or even create a custom APN with these settings.
Is the SIM card activated? Does it get signal on another phone? If you use the Phone Info app or any other app that lets you in the hidden testing menu, can you check if you get signal if you change the preferred network type to GSM only or to WCDMA only? WARNING: Do not change the radio band.
FYI I'm on T-Mobile with ICS 4.0.4 and I've got signal in multiple places in the US and roaming overseas.

Sorry, how do I check the APN settings? And what other information do you need?
model number is HTC One 801e
access point names:
internet.globe.com.ph
APN doesn't have anything to do with the availability of LTE in your phone. It's the phone itself.
Some HTC One variants don't have any LTE radios in their unit hence you can't see any LTE options.
And by the way 801e variant don't have LTE... 801n is the one with LTE.

APN is just a configuration for your phone to be able to connect to your network's internet gateway hence it's called Access Point Name While network mode is an option you can set to your phone to tell which radios it will activate.
Activating the LTE radio on your phone enables the phone to accept LTE signals but APN is also required.
you could consider the APN as a pass or invitation in real life situation whereas you are not allowed to enter/access without an invitation.
Is there a way for me to have an LTE signal?
I contacted the seller, and they're insisting that they sold me an LTE capable unit.
I asked for a replacement unit that's LTE capable, but they might just force this one..
To check:
Go to the dialer and enter;
*#*#4636#*#*
Click on Phone Information
Scroll down to Set preferred network type and check if LTE is an option

I tried this:
Set preferred network type: GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto
But going back to Settings > Mobile data / Mobile Network Settings > Network Mode
LTE still not in the options list
Dont think you can force the option from here without the correct APN settings and a valid network supporting LTE.
There are two models in HTC One.
First one is HTC One 801e which is only 3g compatible and is exclusive to Taiwan and the other one is HTC One 801s which is 4g compatible which is for rest of the world.
First you check your CID.If your CID is HTC_621 then your phone is only 3g compatible.
To check your CID download (Cid getter) from play store.

is my phone faulty?

I'm looking for a method that will allow me to manually select what sort of mobile internet to use (LTE, HSPA+, EDGE).
This is for two reasons mainly:
1)Better battery life on 3G vs LTE
2)With a data cap I'd rather have lower speeds where I can control data usage better
3)All 4.2 ROMS do not show the mobile signal strength indicator on LTE but does show up for HSPA+ etc
I have tried several methods shown in various forums but to no avail. Also even unselecting 'automatic' and manually registering 3G under 'network operators' does not seem to fix this.
I am using T-Mobile in an LTE area.
Thanks

I have tried but everytime I click on lte or any other network it automatically flips right back to WCDMA.
I have a HTC One M8 sprint that i bought on Ebay, i have no problem to make and receive calls after i unlocked it but there is no mobile internet.
My APN Settings is correct, however i only have the option of bearer: LTE or eHRPD or Unspecified
When i search for networks on my normal phone i always get two options:
Movistar 2G
Movistar 3G
Vodafone 2G
Vodafone 3G
and the other networks here.
On the HTC that i sim unlocked i only get:
Movistar
Vodafone
Orange
There is no indication on if it is 2G or 3G.
*#*#4636#*#*
Have set it at GSM Auto PRL and restarted the phone, i have also tried all other network types without success.
Under Phone Info i get Current Network Movistar
GPRS Disconnected (Cant seem to activate that)
GSM: In Service
Network Type: Unknown
I have tried different radios, but no one has worked and they all end up with the phone entering a loop where it restarts and cant recognice the SIM card.
Mobile Network Settings:
Network mode: GSM/UMTS Only
Allow GSM Data: Ticked the box
Is there anyone who has been in the same situation and who has found a solution?
I have seen a number of posts where people say that they cant get data but calls is working, but the only resolution that people has offered is to set the GSM Auto PRL and restart the phone, that has not worked for me.
Very happy for any help that you can give!
Thanks

Have you tried setting a GSM band from the top menu of *#*#4636#*#*?

You mean by changing bro wcdma prefered or gsm pro ?
Yes everything
Use QPST tool and allow all 3G networks to work. It unlocks all 3G networks. You are not getting UMTS signal because Sprint by default has unlocked only US 3G band (I think 1800). Hence, you need to unlock all 3G networks
