is gsm possible with sprint htc one as like droid dna from verizon ?
is it sim based ?
Yes, but you would have to unlock it. To unlock it, you have to have an active Sprint plan.
The SIM tray is located at the top of the left side.
Yeah I noticed gsm option on the phone... Pretty cool

You know what else I noticed? The GSM data option. Has anyone tried it out at all (while on Sprint, anyway)? I'd imagine you'd get hit with a roaming fee of some kind, if you even managed to pull a connection. I don't know that Sprint has roaming deals cut with GSM providers.

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.

I can't seem to get it to work though. I tried manually adding a tmobile apn, i set it to global mode, still says im offline then goes to 1x from sprint. Any advice?
I know as the phone sits currently it will not work with AT&T but I was wondering if anyone had found a way around the differences in the networks to make it compatible. You people are pretty smart here so I'm sure someone has. :good:
There's actually a way to SIM unlock your Sprint HTC one to use almost every network using a SIM card but it will lack certain frequencies. U will be able to use 3g and certain locations will let u use 4g based on the frequency in the area.

I have heard of people doing this and still not being able to use AT&T because of the different frequencies with Sprint and ATT. If I can just SIM unlock the phone and use the voice I would be happy. But I have not seen where anyone has had any luck with getting AT&T voice to work on a Sprint phone. I will try it thought and see what I get!
Could you post a link to directions on SIM unlocking the HTC One? It would be greatly appreciated.
False Alarm. False Alarm.
Mine shows 4g on wifi. I'm on kitkat

I have two Moto Xs, both running the same build. One shows 4G when connected to WiFi and another one has it hidden (as it's supposed to). What the hell Motorola?!
Any ideas guys?

Are they both running the same firmware?

Yes. Only explanation is that it's somehow controlled by the SIM card. One that's acting normal is on TMobile and the other is on AT&T. Also, both are XT1053, but one shows 4G and another shows 4G LTE. Has to be SIM-controlled... I hate AT&T!
EDIT: nope... not it.

Yes. This is what's driving me nuts. Although one is completely virgin and another one I've been using.
So if you swap the sims between the two phones the odd behavior doesn't also change? I know certain providers like to specify what the phone should indicate, this really sounds like of those cases.
I haven't swapped but saw the other phone show same 4g LTE icon. I guess AT&T is forcing it to always on.

Swapped cards... it is the damn AT&T that's forcing it!

If you want the somewhat technical reason, inside the SystemUI.apk, Motorola has modified it and added a bools.xml which basically turns on and off many carrier related stuff.
For example, Sprint sim cards change the signal icons to 6 bars, verizon 5 bars, and if you had an AT&T phone, the AT&T icons.
Just thought I would add this.:good:
That's what I figured. I also thought that the TMobile version would be immune from silly AT&T crap like this, but guess not.

Well, you do get an unlockable bootloader and no AT&T logo on the back.
I bought a htc one on ebay and I was able to activate the phone no problem and it works but im having a few issues. The biggest issue is that the phone network operator name is HTC and not sprint. So when you are at your lock screen it says htc at the top instead of sprint. Then I noticed that under mobile network settings I don't have roaming control or data guard or any of those settings....they simply are not there. I'm guessing I don't see those options because of the network operator name is htc and not sprint. Ive done a factory reset and no go....did the whole prl and profile updates.
Is this phone unlocked maybe? It has a sprint sim card. Anyone have any clue as to what is going on?
It sounds like it maybe a unlocked HTC One I'm not sure to be honest with you, does it register Sprints LTE network?

Yea it registers on the 4g LTE network. Again the biggest problem is that I have no options for roaming, data guard, international roaming etc

Thanks elvis....BIG help that thread
I bought a sprint htc one anfter a lot of tampering/ softbricking i finally got the bootloader unlocked the Bad Boys rom installed and achieved S-off
using the fire water method
i am on 4.4.2 on a network called digicel everything works fine with one exception NO 4G very disappointing ive unlocked GS4 for sprint for use on the network called Digicel and it worked so im curious if anyone knows of anyway for me to get said 4G on sprint htc one ive done enough research the sprint htc one does have the required basebands to support 4G but as of now all it display's is gsm
Ay help is kindly appreciated also if there is another thread with the same question posted i apologize for asking again, didnt come across any answers in my search. Thanks in advance
I'm going to be doing something similar soon when I go to Jamaica (Sprint is unlocking for international SIM use for me) so hope I can help...did you make sure you have a 4g plan from digicel?...if I remember correctly, they have a seperate plan that had seperate 4g charge incorporated...correct if I'm wrong...maybe you need to add 4g to your plan?

i thought of that also but when i unlocked the samsung galaxy s4 previously i didnt need to activate 4G once i put the sim in i would pick up the 4G one i was in a good coverage area, digicel's 4G service is kinda spotty im in antigua, if i go to the town or on a hill id get 4G in most places, i dont believe that im even getting 3G on the htc one as it only says gsm :/

Ahhh, hmmm, in that case I don't know...interesting though to see how it works out for me...mine will be just for fun/emergency use for a week but still would be nice to have good connection. Update me/us if/when you get it figured out.

First make sure your APN settings match your carrier. Second make sure in network settings make sure you have chosen CDMA/LTE. Sprint always shows that stupid GSM sign when using it on a GSM network outside US. Do this with a file explorer go to /ststem/customize/AAC/default.xml change sku_id to 42 and reboot
The phone will show the correct sign 3G, H, etc

i finally got the file edited, now it shows an E i will try a sim i know has 4G and post an update thank for the help
it would really help to know if this worked for you as im thinking of buying a sprint htc one since they are cheaper to use in jamaica on that same digicel. so its great to know that it works would be better to know if the 4g works or atleast if the network data speed is good since im a wifi kinda guy
sprint galaxy S4 has 4g 1700/2100mhz for gsm networks but sprint htc one has no 4g for gsm networks , so 4g will not work.
