LTE on M7 U - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have M7 U (no LTE support) I want to get LTE support on it and this what I have done so far
1. ulocked bootloader
2. s-off
3. changed CID to HTC__001
4. changed MID to PN0710000
5. flashed RUU (RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13. 3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed.exe) from this collection
Now (theoretically speaking) my LTE sholud be working right? it is not
(NOTE: neither my SIM or my area has support for LTE but I'm assuming that if I force my mobile to connect to LTE network there will be no bars in the phone and it will not connect to any network 2G,3G or 4G I have tried that with "LTE onoff" app but it did not work)
if my assumption is wrong, please tell me (I will contact my operator to get LTE support on my SIM and will find an area that has LTE network)
if there is something wrong I've done above, please correct me
if there is something missing I should have done but did not, please point it out
Thank you for the great help you provided to me

I believe the U is actually hardware limited to not be LTE-enabled.

I thought that the snapdragon 600 already has LTE modem but if you are talking about frequencies I do not know about it
there is an article about it but I cannot post it because I have less than 10 posts you can find it in Android Revolution HD page (it is 3 months old)

The S600 does indeed support LTE, but I believe the modems are not integrated into the SoC. That's why the Korean/Chinese version have SD slots. The radio chips are smaller/different than the international one and thus they have space for SD. I could be wrong though.

you could be right, but my purpose of this is to be sure if we can activate the LTE in the U version or not because when I search the internet I do not see a clear answer I just see assumptions with no actual experience and some people are waiting for others to do it to avoid bricking there devices but me I'm taking the risk because I cannot just set there not sure if I can do more with my device or not ( maybe I'm nuts )
BTW if some has any idea on how supposedly activate the LTE on M7 U (even if not sure) I'm willing to try it

Hi,
You can try this , it might or might not work..
I don't have HTC one yet so I don't know what will be the effect, it might brick the device so do it at your own risk.

I have seen this post and I got that there is a possibility of activating LTE on my device but still I do not know how.

Hi! Please post a screenshot of the version of the baseband you have in Settings->About phone
After that I'd like to ask if the settings already has the LTE options in mobile data?
If yes then what happens if you select it there?
Do you lose signal?
Does it revert back to GSM or HSPA or whatever?
Does it make your phone crash?

Any update about this?

sorry for being late
in the options there is no (LTE only) option but I have used LTE onoff app to select that option and it reverts back to GSM or auto or whatever, I never lose signal and my phone never crashes
thank you for trying to help
in the attachments you will find two screenshots, one for the base band and one for the network options

I'm trying to revive this thread
so, if anybody has any idea about activating LTE on my phone I would be grateful

Just an idea, but have you tried entering *#*#4636#*#* In the dialer. Then selecting "phone information" then setting manually there?
Not sure if that'll work though still.

I tried to set it on LTE only but It does not work, though the problem is not losing signal bars but it keeps reverting back to the previously selected option.

Even on LTE models the option reverts back when no LTE signal is available
Also I have already confirmed this on a different post months ago that it's not possible.
The HTC One uses 2 different type of power amplifier which controls the frequency signals of the phone and unfortunately the U version's amplifier was not made to recieve LTE frequencies.
Only option to fix this is to physically replace the power amplifier of the device.

is it possible to change the power amplifier for HTC one? you know it has 1/10 rating in IFixit

anyone has a map of HTC one hardware?

[Q] no 4g or lte on stock or custom rom

So I've had this phone for almost a week now and I used to he able to get 4g LTE. But ever since I rooted it, I no longer get more than 3g. I now have bananacakes Holiraider 1.6 but I still don't get any higher than 3g. So my question is how do I get 4g and 4g lte. Oh and if anyone is using that custom Rom, is it possible to get faster than 1512? In his thread it shows you can clock it to 1566. Thanks a bunch I'm kinda new to this!
try dialing *#*#4636#*#* and see what your modem is set to, it should be GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto
you also may have an APN issue, verifiy that your APN is correct, perhaps contact your carrier for the correct APN settings for you phone and plan.
Well I'm now running a custom ROM. The apn is the same as other users and it does say the above. And yes I am in a 4G LTE area
Sent from my HTC Raider X710e using XDA App
Try doing the above and change to LTE only.
Then once you have 4G change it back. It should stay on 4G. I had to do this to get 4G on official rom.
Ok I just tried that but it wouldn't let me to switch it to LTE only. When I did, it switched it back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto. I'm just gonna relock my phone and set it back to the original stock rom and format my phone (yes I have the apps and stuff backed up). Because my actual mobile connection fluctuates on and off as well
the phone should be locked into the GSM/WCDMA/LTE setting. If you try to change it from that setting it just returns back. The phone will get instructions from the carrier's base station to tell it whether to be on LTE or just 4G/3G. Using *#*#4636#*#* under phone information, what is listed as the Network type?

It is locked in GSM/WCDM/LTE auto.
above that option it should tell you the network type. it is about half way between the "run ping test" button and the "Set Preferred Network type" option. Need to know what it says there.
Oh ok I see what you mean, it says HSDPA
make sure that you are in a active LTE area. toggle the radio off and on. the network type should change to LTE if it is available. remember that if you make a phone call your phone will drop back to just 4g/3g and it might take a second for it to switch back to LTE.
I live in Los Angeles so I'm like in the center of the LTE center in Southern California. But for some reason my phone won't get anything higher than 3G, and my actual cellphone reception toggles on and off randomly too.
It worked before. For the first 3 days atleast. And now all of the sudden it wouldn't work, so I rooted it and installed a custom ROM
Try one of WildChilds custom ROMS. LTE works on both and they're tailored to US users.

if the problem arised before you rooted and rom'd the phone I doubt the rom is the problem. there is always the chance that you have a bad radio.

That's what I'm thinking... What would I do about this?
i would verify your sim with another 4gLTE phone and vice versa.
Hrm... So it could be a Sim card problem eh? Unfortunately there are no other LTE devices for me to get a hold of... Would this be the only way?
it could be. i hope you have pulled battery/sim and then rebooted already. you can verify your phone with a known good sim and verify your sim with a known good phone. I would try your local at&t store. they might be able to help.

it depends on what you consider 4g? are you talking about LTE or are you talking about HSDPA/HSPAP? if its LTE it should show up as LTE, but depending on where your located and which HTC one you bought you might not have the bands. if your company has HSDPA the H that shows is normal. H for our phones(atleast on the international version) is a combo of HSDPA and HSPAP which in tmobile USA's eyes is 4g and 4g+. even though technically its 3.5g and 3.5g+. so need a bit more info on your end to get an idea of what SHOULD be happening.
phone model? international? ATT? tmobile? heck sprint?
provider?
maybe country? it seems like your in another country i think?
and if your in the USA then maybe city you live in? cause LTE on tmobile has only rolled out in like 10 cities though ATT has better signal

i live in Hong Kong and LTE support 1800/2600 band, i dont remember the exactly timeline , i just remember when i flashed ARHD , the 4G is still working
but bad reception, so i flashed another few rom until i notice my phone can not get the signal at boot. Thankfully, jaythenut tech me a method to solve the signal problem, but it cannot get the LTE now....very very strange
*#*#4636#*#* paste this in the dialer
Choose the first option in the list that comes up, and see what "preferred network" is set to. If it doesn't say something about "LTE" theres something wrong.

deafult is GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto, and network type is HSDPA
when i tried to set LTE only, it swap back to the default value immediately ,if i set to CDMA,LTE , it become "H" and show HSPAP and UTMS.

Unlocked HTC One Having AT&T LTE Issues

Hey everyone I just bought an unlocked HTC One and switched the SIM card from my iPhone 5 into the new phone. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, and installed ARHD Sense version and I am having problems with the phone getting LTE. No matter where I am, I am unable to acquire LTE on the phone. Even in places where I know for sure that it has LTE (due to getting it previously on my iPhone) I'm stuck on HSPA+. Anyone have any ideas what the problem might be? Faulty device maybe? Would rather not have to send the phone back. I have tried also changing the APN, which changed nothing.

Do you have LTE turned on? You should be on LTE/GSM/WDCMA under Network Mode in settings. Wording may very depending on your ROM.
Yeah I have Lte enabled, which is why I'm confused as to why lte is not working.

My best guess... Consider calling AT&T and switching off the iPhone data plan to a "smartphone" data plan. I don't know the differences between the 2 but it could be effecting your ability to connect to lte from the one.

Hmm I've been considering it just I have seen other people just pop their iPhone 5 SIM into an unlocked/developer edition HTC One and have full LTE connectivity, and not to mention the fact that dealing with AT&T is a pain.

I know what ya mean... You could also try flashing at&ts latest radio... It probably only really effects AT&T based roms but it's supposed to open up some new lte bands. I used the link from post 95. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2325564&page=10 just make sure you grab the right one installing the one for cm 10 on a sense Rom will mess up your signal strength because it replaces some ril files while flashing the radio. It's a shot in the dark but wont hurt to try.

That actually used to be a really common problem, but they seem to use the same data plans for all smartphones now. Still, might be worth a try.

Thanks will try that out soon. Also, to the person above, tried flashing an AT&T radio, which didn't help anything, but was worth the shot. Thanks for the help guys.
EDIT: So tried out switching it to LTE Only and it wouldn't let the setting stick. It would automatically change the preferred network type back to what it was whenever selecting LTE Only. Also, the LTE, CDMA option did not change anything. Again thanks for the help, I'm just going to send it back and hope for the best with a new device.

[Q] Can Lumia 928 be used overseas ?

Hello all- I have not found a definitive answer so will post my question here as well. I have a chance to get a Lumia 928 (Verizon) but would like to know if I can use it in New Zealand with my Vodafone SIM. I am not sure if there will be limitations such as maps, etc.. not working.
Cheers for any help, LL13- :victory:
LTE will not work in any country besides the US. Aside from that the 928 shouldn't have any issues with taking a different SIM, as all 928s are SIM unlocked when they shipped from the factory. Before you leave though, I highly recommend you download access point via sysapp pusher in the marketplace/store. Sysapp will check for any and all OEM apps that need updating.

The one warning I would give you with the 928 is that the APN settings are a little messed up, and you may need to play around with it a bit to get them to work. My experience (using the 928 on AT&T and T-Mobile in the US) is that you need to manually set the APN settings, even when Nokia Access Point says that the SIM settings are activated. You can usually get data fine, but MMS's don't work properly if you don't manually set the APN
If possible, avoid doing it with Nokia Access Point, because if you do you will lose the ability to use LTE when you get back on Verizon until you do a hard reset (you can't recover the appropriate Verizon LTE APN settings - it will only connect to CDMA 3g). Now that GDR2 is out, you can seemingly manually set the APN's in the Cellular menu of settings, so try using that first and if it fails, copy the correct APN settings into a new Access Point APN, then manually activate it. This has fixed my issue every time, but again, necessitated a hard reset / wipe of the phone to use on Verizon's LTE network.
Cheers for that information AR...
I can enter those settings manually, I've got them memorised :silly:
Cheers again, LL13- :good:
Wow very confusing topic, I mean the process of finding out whether data/mms will work outside of Verizon US, it seems it can not. Too bad as it's a beauty of a phone.

Its not that quite confusing.
LTE is only good for the country it was released in. The international LTE bandplan is different for every country, none of them match up. For using a CDMA carrier, switching to them will require a SIM (there isn't any way to flash the settings onto the phone yet for those providers who don't yet have LTE without it being official from Nokia) so its kinda a dead end.
If your going to a GSM provider, just insert your SIM and manually add the settings for data and mms. You can use Access Point if you don't intend on using Verizon's LTE.

That makes me a bit more comfortable, cheers for that information thals1992 !!
It seems that the main issue would be with the LTE which would not be a problem since I am not even sure what it is !! I believe it may have to do with 4G or fast download speeds but there is no 4G in my town anyway.
I saw one post on another forum saying that some 928's had no way to add/edit APN settings, etc...
Each post and person seems to have a different experience, but if I can simply get a 3G data connection and normal use I would be happy.
I may just go for it then.

When you travel abroad and use the phone on a GSM carrier you will get data up to HSPA+, unless the carrier happens to share Verizons LTE band. The issue with Verizon LTE after you have used another APN is that Access Point won't deactivate all the APN settings,and since Verizon doesn't have dedicated APN data settings, it doesn't override properly and connect toVZW LTE properly without a hard reset.
The 928 has a CDMA radio as well as a fully unlocked GSM radio

I have also experienced this loss of Verizon LTE after using the Nokia Access Point app and foreign SIM in Europe. Does anyone know if there is a way to get LTE back other then hard resetting the phone?

a hard reset is required as the access point app changes the LTE settings and can't change it back completely.

I can get dataconnection in sweden, and i can install the nokia app for changing APN, and i can change the APN manually too, but i cannot get MMS to work, nor in or out.
any suggestions? i talked to my carrier and they helped me with the right info, but nada.

Try limiting the connection to 3G or 2G. T-Mobile users reported this as a workaround.

this Doesnt work either :/

One (M7) doesn't find 4G

My stock One won't find 4G, even when it's right next to my wife's One that's connected to 4G. I've even tried changing the preferred network to LTE only through the 4636 menu and it still doesn't find 4G, or even act like it's attempting to find it.
I haven't tried a factory reset yet, as I was hoping for a better solution first. Any help would be greatly appreciated (not that I have 4G at home yet, or even decent 3G for that matter)

What's your carrier and have you checked if the frequencies matched?

carrier is Sprint, so the frequencies should certainly match.
I'm on the most recent update(5.03.651.3), with PRL 55019 if that makes a difference.

Try going into *#*#4636#*#* and changing the setting to LTE only. That might help. Otherwise I don't know :/.. something might be wrong with your APN settings? Though I doubt it.

I have tried that, and it doesn't find 4G at all. Doesn't really seem like it's even looking for it.

Have you checked your APN settings? Try upgrading your radio, and different apn settings. Other than that, Idk.

The apn settings option is greyed out, can't do anything with it

install an app called APN Shortcut, then you can access apn's
also you can try ##72786#, to reset your network to defaults.
My phone won't connect to LTE since the last update pushed to it. When it do it's a very weak signal and won't open anything and switch to 3G. Never had an issue connecting till i updated so i think the latest radio just suck at 4G which is not a good thing as it wasn't too great to begin with when i first got it.

Check the uicc id (the id of the SIM card) on the phone and see if it matches what sprint has listed for it on their website. If it doesn't match, that's the problem and you'll have to call sprint and have them change it to what your phone is. Hopefully that is all that's wrong. Good luck. [emoji106]

that makes sense. However, how do I check it on sprint's website?
Go to activate a device on the sprint website and pretend like your going to swap your phone. Select the phone with the problem and then on the next page it will list your id for that phone.

Awesome, it was definitely wrong, and I got them to change it. Hopefully that fixes the problem. Not that I'll be able to test it until Friday since the network in my area SUCKS lol. Thanks for your help!
Could someone link me to the thread which has the latest radios? I'm having this same issue and can only find M8 radios (I'm M7).
