T-mobile 4g settings?

Hey Guys,
I have an unlocked lg optimus 2x. I have been using it with att 4g for the past year or so. I just switched to t-mobile prepaid, but I cannot get the 4g to work. I am always on 2G.
What gives? If there is anyone who has this working can you please let me know your baseband, RIL and APN settings? Not sure which will solve my problem

If y our o2x is anything like mine, it probably doesn't have the right radio frequencies to use tmobile's "4g" (actually hspa+). I wrote about this before:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26857353
And fwiw, mine is BB1120 with matching ril.
Edit: adding screenshot of my apn settings

Yes, lg does. There is lg Optimus LTE.
But this lg Optimus 2x doesn't.
The t-mobile usa's 4G isn't a true 4G, as I mentioned above.

I can confirm that the O2X doesn't support the radio bands for T-Mobiles HSPA+ (which they dub 4G)
I had a flatrate during my vacation and had to deal with edge all the time ^^

Yup. The phone lacks 1700 frequency to work on T mobile "4G"

Ah son of a gun! I just got on a t-mobile prepaid monthly thing, well that's the end of that. I thought t-mobile had the G2X natively, so they would definitely support HSPA+ on their network. (An epic D'oh moment for me here )

In the usa 4g doesn't refer to the speed its referring to fourth generation wireless technology. Its confusing but as far as speed its more like 3.5g

Open Myself, click on edit button (guy with pen in top right corner), than click on add new, enter your new number and save. After that edit it again and delete old number, save. Another option is factory reset.

No, no & no, tried all that before I posted about problem! I joined XDA Developers to see if there is a work around, i.e. a question for a programmer/developer,

You cannot delete "Myself" as it is not an actual contact.

Did you pressed "done" after you changed the number?

Right I have just figured out that this number is the original number, I got O2 to change it to a different number, (which I am using), I bet there is no way to change it but gonna ask O2 Support, thanks for all the help so far peeps, I will get back to let no how it goes.

We'll I've just got back from talking with o2 guru's, it seems there is no recovery it needs flashing, but because it's over a year old I will have to pay them to do it, I am going to start a new thread as I wish to do it myself but have no idea where to start, thanks again peeps for ur help

Android 6.0 T-Mobile Signals

Odd that I set phone to pick up only LTE/GSM but I'm always getting 3G W-CDMA when I normally been getting LTE 700. Using latest Chroma, radio and bootloader. Is this normal now or just bugged software/radio with T-Mobile.

Looking at T-mobiles coverage map (where they list band 12 compatible devices) I saw something interesting. It grouped the Nexus 5x, 6, and 6p saying their update is one its way. Maybe this isn't supposed to be a universal image as previously believed? I notice I drop calls over VOLTE which has been frustrating in Detroit where we have a lot of indoor band 12 but otherwise my signal has been LTE since marshmallow

why is that odd? you did pick gsm, and id say that 3G is a gsm signal. you can pick lte only and get just lte.

Because it says W-CDMA when normally it says GSM.

doesnt matter, you are using the normal connection of lte/gsm, which includes all the different signals.

Ok, well didn't say that on 5.1.1, thanks for the reply.

Mobile connection not working marshmallow

I've searched and can't find an answer.
I'm on a custom ROM 6.0.1_r3, I've flashed the 5.32 radio, the WiFi works fine but I'm getting no Mobile connection. The LTE icon indicates that it's getting a signal. I was having this problem with the previous radio, too.

check to make sure that your APN is 100% accurate. one tiny mistake and it won't work.

Try setting to 3g, then back to LTE.
If that doesn't work, try toggling airplane mode.
If neither of those work, your APN is most likely not setup correctly.

I don't know where that is. In 5.0 it used to be under cellular settings, but not in marshmallow (not what I know what value to enter)

what network are you on??? you can try redownoading the ROM(gapps and SuperSU as well), then reflash them dirty, not wiping anything.

I don't know if sprint uses apns, as Verizon doesn't(another CDMA carrier).

So if Sprint doesn't use APNs, what's my next option?

I did. Does it have to do with service searching meaning acrually the network? If i drill down what that service has, there are a bunch of various services not related to network.

I checked the service under the running apps and it seems that it is triggered by the following : com.samsung.android.sm.widgetservice. Not sure if that helps.

What widgets do you have running ? And how often you set them to refresh such as weather app
Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk

I think the specific one has to do with the smart manager. I had it before as well. The thing is i removed the widget but the issue remains.

Try safe mode with your current setup. it will basiclly prevent all 3rd party apps from running and if you don't get the same drain then its not from samsung but rather from a bad app.
Turn on safe mode
- Turn the device off.
- Press and hold the Power key.
- When 'Samsung Galaxy Note5' appears on the screen, release the Power key.
- Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.
- Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
- Safe mode will display in the bottom left corner of the screen.
- Release the Volume down key when you see Safe Mode.
