Have anyone got HTC Vivid worked for T-mobile 4G. I always get "E". I heard LTE (1700/2100) can be used for Tmobile 4G after flash a tmobile 4G radio. Is this kind of radio available for Vivid?

Ive wondered the same thing myself but found nothing but you can also use straight talk or h20 wireless if you are tired of Edge.

I don't think anyone has discovered a radio yet that will allow us to use t mobile...I'm no dev so I really don't know what it takes to make a radio compatible...but if you want (risk bricking your device) you can experiment and flash some t mobile HTC radios...maybe like the sensations or something...idk

That's interesting. Does you Vivid show 4G icon? How do you know it is 4G.
T-mobile uses UMTS/AWS: 1700/2100 Mhz for 3G/4G (not really 4G though), while Vivid 4G in AT&T uses LTE/700 MHz Class 17, 1700/2100 MHz. I don’t think you can use Vivid in T-mobile 4G, not even 3G, unless you flash a correct T-mobile radio.
I think the most possible working radio in Vivid for T-mobile 4G is HTC Amaze. It has UMTS: 850, (AWS) 1700/2100, 1900, 2100MHz. I am not daring to try it.
"H" icon and speedtest give speeds of 8-10mb/s down and 2mb/s up, faster than what my T-Mobile G2 was giving me.. i think on stock ics rom it was showing 4g icon but i havent used it in a while

That's weird. I don't know how you can get 4G. I hope someone (Dev) can explain it. I always get "E" with 150kb down and 120kb up. I am in a stock ICS though. There was a thread discussed the possiblilty:

I have no clue what the ramifications are. Are the platforms the same?
I'm still interested in what combo is used above.
So I pulled radio.img from the Amaze factory ROM: RUBY_ICS_35_S_TMOUS_2.14.531.3_R2_Radio_1.14.550L.17DC_30.78.550L.15_release_262141_signed.zip
According to this, the radio is 1.14.550L.17DC_30.78.550L.15. I did a fastboot flash (fastboot flash radio radio.img) and it did it, had progress bars on the screen, and the cmd prompt windows said OKAY. However, when I go into Settings > About Phone > Software Info > More, the Baseband still shows 3.02.4740.14_34.22.701040.19, and I still have the E at the top.
It was worth a shot...
**EDIT**
Fastboot output:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash radio radio.img
sending 'radio' (21997 KB)... OKAY
writing 'radio'... OKAY
I get the green progress bar during sending, and then the red progress bar during writing, so I thought it worked.

All in the screenshots.. ive not changed out the radio at all, using Virtuous Inquisition and at the time it was probably one of the older Kozmic kernels
Same baseband as mine. I might try this ROM & Kernel combo to see if I get the H. You said 'at the time', are you using a different combo now and still getting HSPA+?
Another question I had was regarding your SMS issue, do you still have it? Mine generally works for a few days, the any SMS I send is stuck in 'Pending'. If I reboot, the first message (or oldest in the queue) will go out, but no others. If I do a full wipe in recovery, SMS works again.

still using kozmics kernel, just updated and i still get hspa+, as for the sms issues, yes i still have the problems where it gets stuck on sending and even when i restart that txt usually does not go through and i end up having to do a factory reset or restore a backup and it works again for a while, then quits..i just rinse and repeat when this happens
Gonna test the ROM & kernel shortly. Was hoping for a fix for the SMS issue, but been using gvoice as a workaround.
---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ----------
Running Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.2.1 & KozmiKKernel RC2 and still only have the E. I tried changing the bearer for the APN to eHRPD & LTE, but I lose mobile data, I have to leave it as Unspecified.
What does it show for Mobile network type in Settings > About phone > Status?
Man this SMS issue is annoying. Took backup, full wipe, loaded Virtuous ROM, SMS worked fine, backup of Virtuous, wipe, restore of Stock ICS, no SMS
when im at home i usually get stuck on edge only..when i leave home im able to pick up 3g and 4g..took these screenshots today while i was out
That's awesome. Maybe I didn't leave mine on long enough? On the Note & Skyrocket threads, people mentioned signal degradation. I normally only get EDGE inside my work, but 4G outside the building. I tested outside the building, but reflashed to stock after. The non-working contacts autofill killed me. Now the no sms is killing me, maybe I'll try virtuous again shortly.
Only difference I see is that ? in the square after T-Mobile, and 0 dBm

I really doubt it would do you much good and I dunno if there's even anything like it for the vivid. What kind of case are you using? What ROM/kernel setup are you using? Are your APN settings correct?

Try switching back to normal 4G instead of LTE and see if that does anything for you. It's just APN settings, so you can set up both and switch between them for comparison.
Could it be your location?

If you are getting 4-5 bars "almost everywhere in my area except where I live," then it might be logical to assume that you are in a "dead zone." Radio signals go in a straight line. I live in a hilly area. When I drop into a valley driving home, I lose my call signal. It returns as soon as I get to the top of the hill. Similarly, I get a very poor signal at my work location (1st floor interior office), but I can step outside (100 feet away) and get a good signal. You simply are not going to get full strength signals in every single location.

Can you tell me (or better yet show me) what the Sprint HTC One compares to lets say a Sprint GS3 or other Sprint LTE device with regards to LTE reception. Really what I would like to see is the RSRP (dBm) values of each device sitting side by side. I myself have an HTC EVO LTE and love the (almost) all metal construction that HTC did with the phone. The one thing I do not like however, is the LTE performance. 3G is great and on par with other devices, but I want to make sure HTC fixed this in the HTC one before I buy it.
Thanks in advance!

Wow, they actually put earbuds in with this phone. I haven't gotten a pair of earbuds with a new phone from Sprint since my Touch Pro (Maybe the Touch Pro2).
I was actually wondering how it works with roaming. Is it possible you can force it to roam for a moment? Or is that a root only function (been on a rooted phone too long). I don't expect LTE to roam, but I also don't recall seeing any info about a 2g/1x radio onboard. There's a little get-away I go to often in the summer that has no Sprint coverage and hoping I'm not bringing a paperweight every time I go.
Is the phone unlocked? It has a slot for a microsim, correct?

Maybe as a follow up to this question, we believe it has a MicroSIM slot (please let us know if it does not). Have you attempted to use an AT&T micro SIM in it as well? An international microSIM such as 3, Vodafone, etc?

And yes it is the only sprint phone with replaceable micro sim. But it is carrier locked. Att, ST, and tmo sim = no go. I am a sprint rep and not even my point of contacts new anything yet about unlocking

I'm sure it won't be far from now when it gets a carrier unlock. I know it's probably that way because of the law, but when they pass the new bill, it'll be allowed.
Although no force roaming, do you know if it's 3g roaming, 1x roaming, or neither?

Can you try the following dialer codes to see if they work?
##DEBUG# (##33284#)
##DATA# (##3282#)
*#*#INFO#*#* (*#*#4636#*#*)
If DEBUG works, can you see if there is an “LTE Engineering” menu to view the RSRP/RSRQ values? These values are also in the “Phone information” menu if the INFO code works.
If the INFO code does not work, would you mind downloading the following app?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mangelow.network
Basically, it’s a shortcut to the “Phone information” menu that you would find through INFO, but if they killed the dialer code, this might be the only way to access it (assuming the menu itself is still there).
I’m sorry, I know this is kind of a lot, but a lot of people are going to be eager to find out if they can use this phone for field testing to see if it’s a better RF performer than the EVO LTE. Thanks in advance!
Adrian, can you enlighten us as to the storage space? Under Settings/Storage. Some of us are wanting to know how much User Accessible space is available to store music, movies, photos, etc.
Hi,
I've recently got a HTC One using the Three network which is great, however the only thing is that when it is using Hspa+ it still only says H, it would be really useful to have a H+ icon. Does anyone know of a solution? if they do that would be great.
Many thanks,
Sam
If I'm right, we don't have that icon. H+ is included in H on the international version.
I believe that t-mobile has it though.
Ah, it's a shame HTC didn't include that. Is there any mod that could correct this without root or would I have to root?
Just got my htc one ftom a a friend and for some reason the 3G icon is present but web pages gives me error as if I have my data turned off. and sometimes it does work but its so slow even opening up google.com. Has anyone else experience this issue ?

Sounds like the Sprint network in a lot of places. Here around ETSU and downtown, it is unusable except for when the college kids are out of town or sleeping.
i am having issues this morning also must be a sprint outage
Edit:
Seems to be back up in my area now
I also have Htc Evo 4g Lte and its not like this. I just flashed both phones to Verizon and the Htc one problem will not go away and what's interesting, Is that with Htc Evo 4g Lte, I can talk and use 3G at the same time but the HTC one 3G icon quick disappears as soon as I start to make a call .

I think that may be due to the hardware in the phone. I'm not entirely sure, but the 4G LTE is able to do both because the hardware allows it to (2 radios?). I know for a fact though that it can't be done on the ONE unless it's LTE.
Here's an article to support this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...supports-simultaneous-voice-and-data-over-3g/

Thank you so much. For awhile I was going crazy but didnt even bother looking into it sucks that Evo Lte have SVDO and the ONe doesn't. I thought it did that on the Evo cuz the phone was flashed but now I know. And to fix the data problem I Used the guide in the second link and worked fine a sprint phone but on the flashed phone some ppl claimed bein s-off solved data speed problems so I got s-ff and flashed a different Rom instead of being on stock and rooted. That solved it
The problem with my One is that when I'm on WiFi, I get like 15 Mbps on Speedtest.net but the browser takes forever to open up pages and load photos on Facebook and stuff. I'm running full stock and it does that. Weird...
