HTC Vivid and 4GLTE in New York City

Well they hit the switch on December 1st of this year, been getting a strong LTE signal since then. Been keeping an eye on the data going in and out of this phone. I have noticed that during phone calls the network switches back to “4G“ and when calls end the “LTE“ reappears. Does anyone here maintain an LTE signal during phone calls by any chance?. Or is this just preliminary tower behavior for testing?

That's how LTE works on AT&T. When on a phone call it switches back to HSPA+. I think it will always be like this but I'm not 100% positive. Never been an issue for me. It switches back and forth very quickly and I hardly ever use data while I'm on the phone.

Well it seems LTE coverage is expanding in the NYC area as of today. I'm now getting LTE signal in the boroughs. Bronx and Queens to be exact.

And you don't hijack an almost 2 year old thread that has nothing to do with what you're asking...

N7 3G No Longer Unlocked?

Currently the Google Play Store is listing the Nexus 7 3G with a AT&T Logo...

Does this mean the N7 w/ 3G will be locked to AT&T, and not available as an Unlocked Device? I certainly hope not!

Okay, Scratched that... Contacted Google Device Support (Actually Got an Intelligent Person this time) and they informed that it will be unlocked, and AT&T is only listed to let buyers know AT&T Service can be used on the Device. (and he hinted at a possible AT&T Data Only plan for the N7)

Scared me too...
but with my experience with Google Support is they are often wrong...

YOu can't even select it now. For me it takes me to a page where it says, "The page doesn't exist on this server" or something.

Remove the _att from the end of the link.

strangely enough the canadian version of those pages don't have that issue. In canada (and likely UK and so on too) it's still the old "unlocked" thing in the selection and it works like it used to with the american before the change.

It is available for sale yet? Neither _att or without it works with a purchase link .

The links are fixed now, but they're out of stock I think.

They haven't started selling yet, so it's not really OOS. Also, I've seen them change the links twice now. It's still slightly broken (ie: if you click on AT&T then 3G again, it gives you an error message about not available in your country).
Any second now.....and it should go on sale......hopefully....

In stock now in the usa!!!!

It looks like they already sold out, I managed to get in an order of the Nexus 7 w/ the ATT Sim Card, but the device said 'unlocked'. The strange thing is, if you're on the page where it gives the description of the Nexus 7 3G + ATT Sim Page, if you scroll down, you'll see a 3rd Card that lists "Nexus 7 + WIFI + HSPA" w/o the ATT Logo and if you click that one I see that it's "Not available in your country"...

[Q] Has anyone manage to connect to metro pcs gsm?

I figured I would try asking. I get edge data and calls are working. No 4G though and I havent tried MMS yet. I called metro's tech support for their apn settings and they don't seem to work.
If you have your ATT Note 3 working on Metro's gsm service, please share your settings/experience here. Any ideas on how to get this working would also be great. Thanks in advance! :good:

I bought two Note 3s and gave one to my friend who's on metro. Everything works perfect for him, 4g, MMS and everything else.
He Input his APN settings so I'm not sure if he did anything else. When I get off work in the morning I'll ask him if he did anything specific besides the APN settings and let you know.

This may be a dumb question but did you switch your network mode to LTE/WCDMA/GSM option?

Yeah, I have tried LTE/GSM auto; LTE/GSM/CDMA auto; and a few different other ones. I always only end up with edge.

I have a question for you, did you buy the phone and stick your sim card in, or did you actually go to the Metro store and have them program the sim for the phone? Metro's sim cards work different than most gsm carrier sim cards =/

I went to an actual metro pcs store and bought the sim. The employee scanned the bar code on the back of my phone, so I'm guessing they programmed it specifically for my phone.

Ok so called my friend today. He told me that he didn't input the APN settings, they loaded automatically. It did make an APN profile for him. He sent me the following screenshots.

Awesome, thank you! I'll try these out later when I get off of work. Btw, I noticed that he doesn't have 4g in these screen shots. Does he normally get 4g/lte with Metro?

I also noticed that too! Yes he does normally have 4g/lte. His home is one of the ones where you take one step to the left and you have edge. Happens to me too and I'm on At&t lol. Let me know if you have any luck with it.

How are you suppose to know what the password is and the server as they are just **** in the screen shot?
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app

No go on the apn settings. I am planning on driving out to LA sometime later this week and will check out whether this lack of LTE is only in my area. Sucks coming from metro's great cdma service.
Also quickvic has a good point about the password, although I'm thinking tyiphius friend's apn settings were installed automatically

Anyone know where I can buy a N900A note 3 that will work on Metro LTE?

[Q] N910F - LTE Enabled on T-Mobile via CM12

Hello everyone,
For the longest time I was not able to get LTE connection on my Note 4 international variant (N910F). I called T-Mobile about it, since I knew the phone had the capabilities to connect, and T-Mobile told me that I should have bought their phone if I wanted LTE, and that they could not help me.
Giving up all hope on LTE connection, I started installing roms to see what cool features where out there. I installed several different roms, and still I had no LTE (not that I was thinking of getting it). Then I installed CM12 and LTE appears! I check the speeds and indeed I was connected to LTE on T-Mobile line. Everything was great until I found out CM12 has three great bugs that I cannot live with: 1) No apps to SD possibility and 2) Access to the camera, from any app, crashes. I have to reopen the app a second time for the camera to function (Messenger has no access at all) and 3) Various app crashes.
So I returned to stock rom, but I miss the features of a custom rom (especially ViPER) and LTE. I tried other roms but I can't find any with LTE working.
Do you know what part of CM12 enables LTE? And if I can flash it into another more stable custom rom?
Thanks

With stock formware on N910F, the LTE icon is displayed as 4G. Try checking your connection again by going to Settings>About Device> Status... then under Mobile Network type.. you can see if you are actually connected to LTE.. There is also an app called Network Signal Info on play store. Good luck

I checked the connection on mobile network on stock ROM and the highest option I had was 4G. Maybe I'll email CyanogenMod and ask them. Thanks though

Yup....
On international phones, LTE signal is represented by 4G icon. So if you see 4G on your phone, it's actually LTE. You were already getting LTE in the first place. You did not have to flash roms and void warranty.

Do you see "LTE" as in the picture below?

VOLTE/WiFi Calling - Three UK

Unsure what's going on here, but Three have historically never enabled WiFi Calling for phones they haven't personally sold, even if they do actually sell it (except iPhones) however I've noticed my unlocked (Vodafone contract) P20 Pro allowing it. Anyone else noticed this?

Yeah seems strange that it's activated though, although one thing I have noticed and don't know how they managed it, but the phone 'seems' Three branded with the app Three Likes and also giving a 3 Boot Screen on power up. I wonder if it's because it was the first carrier SIM i had in to boot with.

Oh yeah, it definitely does that.
Seems to brand itself with Three, which is pretty clever (again, mate 10 pro did that)

If you put in a different (non-3) simcard to avoid the branding, would Wifi-Calling still work if you then put in the 3 sim?

Has anyone tried using 3 Wifi calling after using another simcard when initially setting up the phone

I have noticed when wifi calling is enabled, when i launch whatapp video call or voice, the other party cant hear me until i disable it

Works with my 3 sim card from my other contract.

which sim did you insert first? when you installed the 3 sim card did the phone rebrand to 3 and install any apps
what release is system on

I inserted my old 3 sim before the new 3 one that came with the phone.
The phone is 3 branded but I believe they supply it carrier unlocked.

There may be a potential problem down the line though, as the networks may release an update blocking WiFi calling from other networks... Not sure I want to take the risk, so may just put up with the splash screen for peace of mind.

So it seems I've managed to avoid the three splashscreen...
I started the phone without a simcard and ran through the initial start up and transferred my apps/data from my old android device to my new phone and then inserted my 3 simcard whilst the phone was on. I then restarted the phone with the 3 simcard remaining in and low and behold it started up with the regular Huawei screen and Wifi calling works!
Only issue though is that I'm on Firmware: CLT-L09 8.1.0.103(C782) and not had the latest update come through
