LTE setting on Three? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Got my XZ in white earlier today, it's a beauty, easily the best looking Android phone over ever used! Battery seems to go quickly, but I have used it a lot lol! Back gets pretty warm when using it alot, getting worried.
But reason for this post is I can't find the LTE settings on my phone, on the demo one I used in three, its under mobile networks, network mode. Mine shows GSM and WCDMA no LTE, the demo one I used in three had LTE as a third option.
Can anyone else confirm this with theirs, both three and non three handsets.
Will the LTE option come after three launch LTE to prevent users accidentally selecting it maybe?
Thanks

So it appears that the phone does support LTE after checking the band's in the service menu, LTE is listed, panic over!

Thanks for that, I don't get the last option must be the three software on here that has disabled it.
Could you plead check to see if your configuration screen in services look like this below, you can see it in the services menu, type *#*#7378423#*#* then go to service info then config.
Thanks

Yep its all the same except mine just says boot loader unlockable YES

Mine also doesn't have the lte option on three rom. I presume they will push an update out and hype how they've 'unlocked its potential' or some other silly hype.

Mine doesnt show it either on 3. Anyone spoke to them yet?

Cheers all! It looks like they will push an update at some point, anyone know how to check if we are receiving UltraFast Internet? DC-HSDPA?

I'm on three but got a sim free phone, with my three sim I don't have a LTE option however put in my EE sim and I get the LTE option. Must be a setting thing that the network needs to push out.

Its a profile thing, when you insert the sim for the first time it downloads carrier specific settings, with my three sim I get no LTE but put a EE sim in the phone it downloads new settings and LTE appears and the phone shows LTE in the signal bar

Possibly or the existing SIM cards will be provisioned for LTE and just work. A simple OTA update (via SMS) can adjust settings on a SIM card.
I really hope the existing cards will work as I have some PAYG cards and don't want to mess around changing them.

*#*#7378423#*#* doesnt work on my phone. Comes up with some error??? (after pressing call button)
When is LTE supposed to be launched on 3 ?

Don't press the call button, as long as you have inputted the code correctly after the last * it should take you into the services menu.
3 have just said this year, hopefully it will be asap, but their Ultra-fast internet (DC-HSDPA) is out now in nearly 80% of the UK which gives us nearly similar speeds to EE's LTE. Do a coverage check on their network to see if you are in the Ultrafast area.

[Q] Motorola Atrix HD on AIO Wireless

I signed up for AIO Wireless on Friday (Aug 16) here in Houston. Just for that day, I got LTE reception from AIO.
Starting Aug 17 (next day), I am not getting any LTE reception. When I go to Network app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mangelow.network), it displays that I am on WCDMA band. Interesting thing is that I can not change that band.
When I was on AT&T, I was able to move from WCDMA to LTE/GSM/WCDMA and vice versa.
My question is - if there is anyone who is not getting LTE on AIO in Houston/Miami?
Also - any help on getting my phone provisioned to LTE would be great !
You can't change it in your phones network settings or the secret phone menu?

I am on stock AT&T rom (with root and unlocked b/l). I tried *#*#4636#*#* but it is not working from phone app.
There is no other setting to choose band or carrier in settings.
Is there an alternate way to execute secret command?
It sounds like a bad sim card. Also, download an app called lte on/off for thunderbolt. It will take you to the secret settings menu that AT&T blocks access to from the dialpad. It works on phones other than the thunderbolt.

I tried that without luck..Network app that I used is same as that...may be that's the secret menu that AT&T blocks...which is accessible from Network or LTE ON/OFF app...
Get pimp my rom and under tools there is access hidden menu which will get you there also. You don't have the network mode option under mobile networks?
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
It should take you to a testing menu the first of which is phone information. It is the same as you get by dialing *#*#info#*#* if you can get to that menu and it won't let you switch to LTE/GSM/WCDMA, then it probably is a sim issue.
Sent from my MB886 using Tapatalk 2
All is well...phone got automatically re-provisioned and now can log on to LTE when available.
One thing to note though, LTE speeds are capped at 6-7 mb!
Thanks anyone who responded.

Bought A HTC One on ebay..having problems

I bought a htc one on ebay and I was able to activate the phone no problem and it works but im having a few issues. The biggest issue is that the phone network operator name is HTC and not sprint. So when you are at your lock screen it says htc at the top instead of sprint. Then I noticed that under mobile network settings I don't have roaming control or data guard or any of those settings....they simply are not there. I'm guessing I don't see those options because of the network operator name is htc and not sprint. Ive done a factory reset and no go....did the whole prl and profile updates.
Is this phone unlocked maybe? It has a sprint sim card. Anyone have any clue as to what is going on?
It sounds like it maybe a unlocked HTC One I'm not sure to be honest with you, does it register Sprints LTE network?

Yea it registers on the 4g LTE network. Again the biggest problem is that I have no options for roaming, data guard, international roaming etc

Moto X Not Switching to LTE

So I picked up an unlocked XT1053 GSM developer edition a month or so ago. I got on Net10 and everything seems fine except for one issue.
When I am in an HSPA+ area and come into a known LTE area the phone doesn't seem to switch to LTE right away. If I toggle airplane mode on and off I get full LTE with good signal and it holds strong until I'm back in a weak area. If I am in an LTE area for a while after about 30 min or so it will finally switch on it's own, but I would think it should be much faster without using airplane mode. Anyone have any ideas?
Call your service provider and provide them your IMEI so they can provision your device.

LTE works on my phone though, it just doesn't switch right away. It seems like if HSPA+ is even one dB better then it stays on it. If I toggle airplane mode I get strong LTE. Is that a provisioning issue?
Is there a way with APNs or anything to make LTE take priority if it's present?
It could be the provisioning. You sim may not be fully provisioned. If that doesn't fix it.
You can change it to lte only.
Install a app called any cut. Create a short cut for testing. Select the first option and at the bottom change it lte only. See if it works. If not then the network isn't allowing iy

Well I ordered an actual nano Sim from net10 since they just got them. It will be here tomorrow so I'm sure that when I transfer my service to it my account will get provisioned. If I still have problems I'll try what you mentioned.

Are you using service through AT&T or using a AT&T sim through Straight talk or some other subsidiary? I would also look into the apn settings and make sure it is setup properly.

Did you download and use the LTE Discovery App? It needs to reset your modem. Also double check to make sure you entered the apn exactly the same. No phantom spaces, etc. There should be no spaces in the "apn type".
If you still aren't getting data I have one more apn you can try.

I'm gnna put screenshots, are you able to get lte ?
I have no problem getting LTE on my Note 4 using AT&T'S network.
Screen shots below. I gets decent speeds, not the crazy 40 mbs like some people get, but that is mainly because of the area I live in.
If I am closer to the city I get 35 to 50 mbs down load and 10 to 15 upload.

I am using a T-Mobile Note 4 on ATT network and have no issues. First of all make sure LTE is enabled on your number/simcard. If not call the customer care and ask them to enable LTE on your line. They will ask your device IMEI number and then enable it. If not u will only get a 4G signal on your phone
If you are having trouble getting data on your device, then use these APN settings

I have tried that one already :/
The service rep said this "You are getting LTE on your other lines. Because the device that being use on the line is sync on your account. Since the device that is sync on the line that ends with 1521 is the iPhone 6 Plus. The Note 4 does not receive data service. Because it is registered on the iPhone 6 plus." how legit is that?
If u have a phone on contract on that line, then I use guess it is difficult. Or you can go to an ATT store and say that u lost your sim card. Ask for a new one and say that it is for an Android LTE smartphone.

According to this thread, you also have to go to settings, more networks, mobile networks, network mode and change to LTE/WCDMA/GSM.
I just bought a T-Mobile Note 4 to use on AT&T, but I am waiting for an unlock code. I really hope I don't have any issue.

I know people are successfully getting LTE on T-mobile Note 4 on AT&T service, though I am not sure which APN settings they're using. Looks like there are at least 3 in this thread to try... but it may be a block from AT&T ? I can't imagine that's the case, but I honestly don't know exactly how much control they (AT&T) have over what bands a given sim card can receive if its not matched to the imei on file in their system? I guess a lot?
OFF TOPIC: How much did you guys pay for the unlock codes? (curious)
LTE works great on this phone with AT&T service. Been using it without issue for months.
I don't know why this person is having issues. Only thing I can think is that the Sim card is bad.
Paid $30 for the unlock.
My AT&T account doesn't even show a smart phone. See the screen shot below. As long as it says LTE device then it's not AT&T causes the problem.

I don't know why I'm having issues honestly. I'm trying everything that's thrown at me , I even got a new Sim card yet no LTE. I don't even care if it shows LTE indicator , but it's that my speeds are so slow. 2-5mbps download while on my iPhone 6plus I would get 50mbps download.

So I got the Dual Sim version of the Note 8 and popped in a T-Mobile SIM. I've been using it and I love it, but one thing that bothers me is that I've never seen my phone display LTE. It's always 4G. Is this a glitch or is this how it's supposed to be? Any help would be appreciated.

4G is LTE in other countries, in USA they call it LTE, its normal since you are probably getting LTE but it only shows 4G icon. My Samsung SM-T819Y on T Mobile does the same thing, connects to the T Mobile LTE network but only shows 4G. No problems with speeds and connectivity.
So to answer your question, its normal and supposed to be like that.

Hi Everyone,
I am having issues with my device i have the MS-950f/DS bought it in Singapore Airport,
I am living in Houston Texas 77054 , the APN is default one, I have 4g ok but when trying to make a call it throws a message that says: Not registered in red.
To make a call i have to change the network to 3g/2g and then it works.
It does not happen when i am at work. Maybe the signal i can get at home is different. I went to T mobile and they said that everything looks good.
I dont know what to do..
