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.
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.
Hello all- I have not found a definitive answer so will post my question here as well. I have a chance to get a Lumia 928 (Verizon) but would like to know if I can use it in New Zealand with my Vodafone SIM. I am not sure if there will be limitations such as maps, etc.. not working.
Cheers for any help, LL13- :victory:
LTE will not work in any country besides the US. Aside from that the 928 shouldn't have any issues with taking a different SIM, as all 928s are SIM unlocked when they shipped from the factory. Before you leave though, I highly recommend you download access point via sysapp pusher in the marketplace/store. Sysapp will check for any and all OEM apps that need updating.

The one warning I would give you with the 928 is that the APN settings are a little messed up, and you may need to play around with it a bit to get them to work. My experience (using the 928 on AT&T and T-Mobile in the US) is that you need to manually set the APN settings, even when Nokia Access Point says that the SIM settings are activated. You can usually get data fine, but MMS's don't work properly if you don't manually set the APN
If possible, avoid doing it with Nokia Access Point, because if you do you will lose the ability to use LTE when you get back on Verizon until you do a hard reset (you can't recover the appropriate Verizon LTE APN settings - it will only connect to CDMA 3g). Now that GDR2 is out, you can seemingly manually set the APN's in the Cellular menu of settings, so try using that first and if it fails, copy the correct APN settings into a new Access Point APN, then manually activate it. This has fixed my issue every time, but again, necessitated a hard reset / wipe of the phone to use on Verizon's LTE network.
Cheers for that information AR...
I can enter those settings manually, I've got them memorised :silly:
Cheers again, LL13- :good:
Wow very confusing topic, I mean the process of finding out whether data/mms will work outside of Verizon US, it seems it can not. Too bad as it's a beauty of a phone.

Its not that quite confusing.
LTE is only good for the country it was released in. The international LTE bandplan is different for every country, none of them match up. For using a CDMA carrier, switching to them will require a SIM (there isn't any way to flash the settings onto the phone yet for those providers who don't yet have LTE without it being official from Nokia) so its kinda a dead end.
If your going to a GSM provider, just insert your SIM and manually add the settings for data and mms. You can use Access Point if you don't intend on using Verizon's LTE.

That makes me a bit more comfortable, cheers for that information thals1992 !!
It seems that the main issue would be with the LTE which would not be a problem since I am not even sure what it is !! I believe it may have to do with 4G or fast download speeds but there is no 4G in my town anyway.
I saw one post on another forum saying that some 928's had no way to add/edit APN settings, etc...
Each post and person seems to have a different experience, but if I can simply get a 3G data connection and normal use I would be happy.
I may just go for it then.

When you travel abroad and use the phone on a GSM carrier you will get data up to HSPA+, unless the carrier happens to share Verizons LTE band. The issue with Verizon LTE after you have used another APN is that Access Point won't deactivate all the APN settings,and since Verizon doesn't have dedicated APN data settings, it doesn't override properly and connect toVZW LTE properly without a hard reset.
The 928 has a CDMA radio as well as a fully unlocked GSM radio

a hard reset is required as the access point app changes the LTE settings and can't change it back completely.

If you want a brick, go ahead and flash a GSM ROM.
In seriousness, what have you tried? You should be able to switch the phone's network mode under Settings -> Mobile Data -> Network Mode. For AT&T, you'd probably what GSM/UTMS only. Failing that, you can try dialing *#*#4636#*#* and under Phone Info, changing the network mode there to something with GSM. No guarantee that those settings will stick across a reboot though.
Still nothing

Thanks for the reply, I know I could brick my phone so I havent tried a GSM rom. But i have tried all the settings that you stated above and nothing sems to work. My HTC does read the NET10 sim I put in but just wont pick up the network. I am thinking a few things that either the Sprint RUU I am running does not allow the phone to pick up other networks, or maybe the band frequencies are not installed only CDMA. Or maybe the option to choose GSM may be locked somehow on the phone and maybe needs to be unlocked. These are only guesses thought. I do know for sure that the phone does give me options to choose gsm, lte, cdma and more but when choosing it does not get signal only CDMA. I even tried choosing other radio band frequencies with no luck. There has to be a way.
Is it possible to flash GSM radio bands without messing anything up? Not sure thats why I am asking. Or is there a sprint ruu that includes GSM bands.
Please help if you can.

Wait, you're not sure if you're SIM-unlocked? Your phone should be capable of picking these things up by default; you could talk to Sprint cusotmer service and see if the phone's global mode has been enabled.

Yeah my phone is Sim Unlocked, Super Cid, and rooted. It does read other sims but wont pick up other networks such as GSM. This really does suck. I cant call Sprint because I got the phone off of someone who no longer has Sprint and their contract was never finished. So I Sim Unlocked it myself.
My Conclusion
I come to beleave that it is not possible to have a Sprint HTC One work on any other networks except theirs. I have tried every possbile solution that this site has to offer and nothing. It also seems to me that no one has come up with a soultion either. I have searched everywhere and no one has a strait forward answer. All that I can get it to do is recognize other sims once sim unlocked, but whats the point if you cant get it to pick up other networks such as GSM.

You have to enable domestic roaming and turn roaming guards off. Than go to network and select the network operator MANUALLY. This way it'll work, but it was stated by some users that you'll loose signal from time to time and will have to redo the process again (select network manually)

I feel that way about locking onto AT&T.. or connecting at all for that matter. But I HAVE used T-mobile for about 4 months, albeit losing the signal, and having to re-register from time to time. you can make it work. in *#*#4636#*#* go with WCDMA preferred.. 800Mhz freq.. I wasn't even s-off when I was making it work..so obviously no SuperCID either.. i have since obtained both, and STILL cannot connect to AT&T.. the Network Selections are just greyed out...
Hello, I have a Sprint HTC One running perfectly on a GSM company, called Telcel here in México. Recently I wiped everything and started again, and with the stock rom (Sense 6 4.4.2) I wasn't able to choose the GSM mode, I was stuck on CDMA mode without service, until I flashed again the latest firmware (5.09.451 or something like that), and all the problems were solved, currently I'm running ViperOne rom for the sprint variant, with the latest firmware and everything is perfect, hope this help.

First is the unlock process, to do that you first should install a 4.2 RUU, then unlock the device company. After, root and install a recovery, flash the ROM that you want, and flash the required firmware, depending of the version of android. That's all, if you want more help add me on skype, I speak spanish.
Good luck.
For the last weeks.. I have been trying to get this phone working with T-Mobile..I had unlock the sim card and now running badboyz 4.3 rom. 1.3

For the last weeks.. I have been trying to get this phone working with T-Mobile..I had unlock the sim card and now running badboyz 4.3 rom. 1.3
After unlocking the sim card and setting up the apn, selected T-Mobile from the available networks and it will connect. But when I go to work, I will lose signal every few block, and need to search for available network again and wait to select t mobile again.
I had try to use the t mobile sim card on my old phone and everything will works fine with no signal lost.
Can anyone please HELP!... I been searching and looking for an answer for more than 2 weeks..but no resolve.....
Thanks

This is probably because T-mob covers only particular places the frequencies this phone uses http://theunlockr.com/2013/07/05/htc-one-sprint-specs/ vs t-mob https://t-mobile.jive-mobile.com/#jive-document?content=/api/core/v2/documents/4988

Is there any solution for this problem ?
Is there anything I can do to fix this problem ? (different rom or radio...etc..) Or I have to give up the phone... Cause it is too much headache to "searching for network" all the time and miss all the call with no service on the phone without knowing..
Thanks

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
