So if you put your Sprint device in automatic instead of LTE/CDMA can you roam on AT&T and T-Mobile like you can on Verizon? Or does sprint not have roaming agreements with them so you are blocked?

If you're referring to roaming on 3g, I believe Verizon is the only other carrier that we can roam onto. If you're referring to 4G, (Someone correct me if I'm wrong) we cannot roam onto another carrier's LTE network as our phone only has the appropriate bands for Sprint and these bands are not shared with other carriers.

No. CDMA only on CDMA. GSM only on GSM

But they're GSM carriers so they use different bands.

I'm a Canadian GSM user who visits the US about once or twice a year. Is it possible for me to roam on Verizon's network using this phone? I don't see any roaming agreements from my carrier with Verizon, so what would happen if I brought my phone down to the US? I know Droid 4 doesn't support US GSM carriers (no known hack is in place for it I guess either?). I was also considering that if I went for any length of time I might go on a pay-as-you-go plan with Verizon, but I'm not sure how much that would cost. I use Rogers as my carrier.
Thanks in advance
with the Droid4 in the US you need a 4G sim card to use it's network. otherwise you'd use your GSM phone and piggyback on AT&T's network.

I have a 4g LTE sim card from my carrier, I am wondering if I can roam with it on the vzw network

At my second job my company is sending me a Sprint HTC one to use as my work phone and they want me to activate it on my Sprint account or they'll pay the deposit to open the account if there's one. But where I live I don't good coverage from them and there 3G is SUPER SLOW, I can't really stand the sucky service in my area. I Have T-Mobile and have good coverage where ever I go and was wondering if the sim tray in the Sprint Htc one is Unlocked so I can just activate with my T-Mobile account and pop in a T-Mobile SIM card. If any one can please confirm this would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
No

I'm 99% sure it's a no. T-Mobile uses different radios from Sprint, I think AT&T and T-Mobile use the same radios, which is why you can use unlocked AT&T phones on T-Mobile.

According to some Sprint forums it is a world phone. It just isn't unlocked.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
A world phone can have many different interpretations such as using a gsm network somewhere else or just roaming outside the us and we can all roam outside the us such as mexico which is domestic roaming and I think that is also considered a world phone since ur using it somewhere else

In the OP's case, a discussion as to whether the phone is SIM locked or unlocked on the One is completely moot because the Sprint variant of the device does not possess the GSM or UMTS/WCDMA frequency bands needed to operate in most of the Americas, including the United States. It only does GSM 900/1800 and UMTS 2100. In other words, even if it was unlocked for other companies' US GSM or UMTS SIM cards it wouldn't be able to get any signal in the US, or for that matter, anywhere in most of North, Central, or South America or in other parts of the world where the GSM or UMTS 850 or 1900 MHz bands are used.

According to this article, which I have linked several times on here in response to this question, the ONE on Sprint most likely has GSM 900/1800mhz capability. Which is the GSM most all of the world uses except for the US. That is why it is a "World Phone."

Partially true since this does not only apply to the US specifically. See my post right before yours.

Fixed that for you. You could not use it in the US.
but even by flashing a customized firmware once the phone has been rooted the phone is unable to manage others sim cards?
is there any change to remove the sim lock somehow?

Even if it was sim unlocked it wont work. Its a hardware limitation, not a software one. It cant run on the frequencies that North America uses for GSM.
It does run frequencies that we run here in the us. It supports 1900 and 2100 utms. 850 and 900 gsm. Both are used here in the us by at&t and t-mobile.

Isnt it hardware limited to a point where it cant operate on a 3g/hspa gsm data network? i.e. if you do sim unlock and take it to a gsm carrier you will not get anything over 2g/edge speed?
Doesn't this device have the hardware have the capability for 4g lte + aws? I have latest ota update, and tried to change apn from epc.tmobile to fast.tmobile with no luck.

I don't believe that this phone is capable of LTE. I think it is only capable of HSPA+ (21 Mbps). I live in a refarmed area and my speeds have never changed.
Well it is capable of LTE on AT&Ts network but ironically not on T-Mobile's. The T-Mobile note has the exact same radio as the AT&T note does thus it does not have the added new T-Mobile frequencies for LTE. So unlocked T-Mobile notes can access AT&T LTE networks but not their own LTE network.

It's all about the frequencies, our phone is for the most part exactly the same phone as the AT&T Note. With exactly the same radio. Although it's capable of receiving T-Mobile 4g it's not able to use T-Mobile LTE as they use different frequencies. However to answer your question if your phone was nand unlocked, you have an AT&T sim card, and flashed an AT&T Note Modem then yes you can use AT&T's LTE with this phone.

Hello. I have just bought a One with Sprint, I tried several Roms and never I Reached 4G in Spain. When I selected LTE or CDMA no data , If I put it in automatic I have 3G or H but never 4g.
Same issue. I know I can get 4G beause when I drive around, my phone has said 4G on it. With that being said, I only get 4G about .00001% of the time im using the network so it goes to 4G when i dont need it. i doubt its my phone its Sprints towers but that really sucks cuz 3G is sooooooo slow for me.
It's probably because your Spanish carrier does not use CDMA or Sprints LTE bands

In Spain for the moment is 1800 and 2600. End of this year also 800 but not yet.
Sprint is using 1900 800 and 2500. The sprint HTC only supports the 1900 lte
