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...
If you go to the "Android Development" subforum it's on the first page...

Xperia T/TL roaming wont work

When I try to roam (call people and small) it gives me zero bars and won't detect a carrier. When I go to settings > More > Mobile Networks > Service Providers and then I select a carrier it would just pop up a message saying ( found network s unavailable ) then it would say it failed and make sure your sim is available

Are you sure roaming was covered by your phone contract? I had the same problem when going abroad with my previous phone because it wasn't included in the standard phone contract. I had to buy a addon.

I dont have roaming n my contract but if I take my sim out of the phone to a other one, it would work and autodetect a carrier, which then I can call ( but still getting charged)

Yep, seems its disabled in your sim, like I said I had the exact same problem, your other sim probably doesn't have those limitations. Phone your carrier see if you can sort it out.

I have the same problem. My SIM is free for roaming, the phone is completely free, no branding, no simlock. The same SIM in another (non Smart) phone does work at all. If I do network search and choose a foreign carrier a notice pops up "Sorry, can't connect to this carrier, try again".
I'm using CM 10.1 nightly 21.08. but the problem exists for months now, on FXP it's the same.

What's up with the msg icon?

So I bought my new HTC One Saturday and I can't remember if it was like this the day I got it or not but the icon consistently shows a number beside it as though I have a new msg. Even after clearing my cache deleting all msg threads and rebooting the number has refused to disappear. No root or custom rooms yet so this is real stock. I'm beginning to wonder if this is something of a fluke or maybe something ATT put the to mess with my head. Could someone please provide some clarity about this.

Shouldn't show that if you have no messages. Do a factory reset if you're afraid to root, unlock, and use custom roms.

you serious? every time people have problems the solution is always to just factory reset or unlock and wipe and custom ROMS
@OP, select every thread in the messaging app and scroll up and down, that should clear any unread messages. if not then backup the messages and delete all the threads. also try sending a message to the phone and reading it

Weird thing is I just rebooted to see if that would fix it and it did but now it won't show up at all. It's alright though,is rather have it this way than the other.
And dude, your suggestion was just as bad. I already told you in the op that I tried that already.

Yes I'm serious. If nothing else worked for him then that's the answer.

There could be a simple explanation for this
Is the phone set to store the sms on to the sim?
If it it remove all the sms on the sim and change the option to no sms on the sim
mssg app all mssgs, settings, text mssgs, manage sim card mssgs - it should read no mssgs on the sim card.

[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?

Band 12

I'm currently in the Cincinnati Ohio area and I read that T-Mobile has started up this band in this area but I'm only getting band 2 and my speeds are awful. Any one in this area as well?
Sorry forgot to mention I'm on the latest build lmy47m 5.1

Might also need to flash the modem/baseband again

Just reflash the radio and you'll be back up and running, mine does that when change band priorities but on sprint, I lose signal completely, so I don't think we're suppose to mess with those settings

I fixed the LTE not connecting by flashing radio again. Thanks @jwthompson. But I'm still only getting band 2 . my phone said band 12 is enabled but when I delv more into it it also saying its failing to connect I'm not messing with those band setting in that dialog no more it seems to just brake LTE connection so I'll just stay with band 2 I guess and the slow speeds. I no for a fact that band 12 is active in my area but for some reason my n6 will not connect.
