I have been using AT&T tablet data-only SIM on my HTC One Developers Edition using the broadband APN. Experienced HSPA+ data speeds which aren't that bad - as high as 10Mbps+. Can't seem to get 4G LTE enabled with the broadband APN. Anyone know of how to enable LTE with such a SIM swap?
I'm living in the San Francisco area. I know 4G LTE is working in the city and is spotty in the north bay - Marin County.
Has anyone tried using a data-only plan from AT&T on their HTC One? I have another voice plan on my other smartphone. Tried PTA APN settings and this doesn't work on this tablet data-only sim.
Thanks,
Paul Miller?
Anyway, did you have at&t provision your account as LTE? If not, that needs to be done.

hello i have a question
im ordering a htc vivid. i currently have a htc inspire
when i recieve it can i just switch my inspire sim card and put it in the vivid and it will work while the vivid sim card would work in the inspire?
thanks
First of all what carrier are you with ? Any others, you are fine. (Vivid needs to be UNLOCK).
With ATT, you are better off getting a new SIM that is LTE ready (Regardless if your area has LTE signal or not) - In which will of course work on Inspire & Vivid - That's just my opinion - You can still use your old sim card if you decide to do nothing. You'll always get HSPA+ signal only.
Not to hate on the above post but you dont need a New sim I've been using the same sim since my inspire the only thing is you need to do is switch your plan to LTE that's the only thing that needs to be changed

The LTE similar is fancy though. But no you don't need one unless your in an LTE city.
I dont think LTE cost more. Just easier to go over your data cap. I don't know. Though. I've been on the same contract for years and years. So long I get an upgrade every year.

Retail stores will give you one. Corporate stores will probably charge you. All they do is convert your current data plan to an equivalent plan that's coded LTE in their system. As far as i know this is what gives you access to the pta APN that allows you to use LTE
Couldn't you just go to APN settings and create an APN?

I did the same thing (switched from Inspire to Vivid). You will need to make sure you do have an LTE approved SIM. It shouldn't cost you a dime to do. If your SIM is recent odds are you are fine.
I did have to call and have them check the settings on their side. I was not getting LTE and I live in an LTE area. So a 10min phone call fixed it.

If you have unlimited data and want to keep it you are going to need to upgrade to the lte sim.

If you aren't on unlimited then I don't think it will matter. You can run with the sim from your inspire.
Dear lord quit trying to confuse the op, the hspa sim and the LTE sim are the same if you got a new sim when you got your inspire which you pretty much had to , if you aren't in an LTE area don't worry about switching your plan , if you are you can make a two min phone call and they will provision your current data to LTE it doesn't matter if its unlimited or not you will still keep unlimited
....and boom goes the dynamite....

thank uuuu lol nice and simple
Have any of you guys ever got LTE signal on your raiders?
Ive had this phone for 3 months and i still havent ever seen the LTE symbol next to the reception bar...just 4G at most.
I live in Markham and the rogers map says its LTE covered but still..
Before I switched to chatr I definitely was able to use LTE. Mega fast, too! Faster than my bell fibe home internet lol.. I'm wondering if u have an LTE sim or not..? Did you get the sim new with the raider or was it from another phone?

You also need an LTE-ready plan, i.e., not all their data plans are LTE capable.

I got a new sim when I got my evo3d..didn't get a new one with my raider.
I also have a 6 gb data plan
Is that not LTE ready?
Don't think that 6GB plan is LTE ready. They have specific data plans for LTE
Ya u need to be provisioned for LTE

I'm on Bell with my Raider and I get LTE signal in strange areas. The coverage maps lie, Bell or Rogers. I work on the east end of downtown (Regent Park area) and sometimes I get LTE signal but most of the time it's HSPDA+. The LTE speeds are nuts but it drains battery much faster.
I live in Markham and I've never gotten LTE signal anywhere north of the 401.
All Bell plans are eligible for LTE speeds but you need to have an LTE sim.
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

I recently unlocked my sim slot, and I have a mobile internet sim from T-Mobile. Since the Sprint HTC One supports the band for T-Mobile 3G, would it be possible to get 3G from T-Mobile for data on my Sprint HTC One?
The primary purpose would be to alleviate data costs from Sprint.

Hi all just read over the weekend that straight talk is now allowing Verizon 4g Lte phones on their service and getting the lte with a SIM using Verizon towers. So has anyone been able to flash a Sprint HTC one to Verizon and been able to get Lte with the Verizon SIM?
