[Q] Please Help with 4G LTE - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I need some help understanding if my phone i faulty. I have an HTC ONE 801n sim free UK and when I go to Settings > Mobile data / Mobile Network Settings > Network Mode I don't see the GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto line. I spoke with HTC and they told me I need to have a 4G sim card for that line to appear witch at the moment I don't have it to try. Can someone confirm that HTC is telling me is true? Can someone try a non 4g sim and check if the GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto appear in Settings > Mobile data / Mobile Network Settings > Network Mode? just because I am still in time for an exchange. Thanks!!!
Edit:
After 53 Views looks like no one wants to help me!!! what you just need to do is going to: Settings > Mobile data / Mobile Network Settings > Network Mode and if you are using a 3g non 4g sim card check if you can see the setting: GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto. That's all. Thanks!!

Anyone??? Please!!!

AFAIK only 801e models do not support LTE. Anything else does, just different LTE frequencies. Got any friends with LTE sims you could borrow? Some iPhone buddies or Samsung people.

No, I don't know no one with a 4g sim!! that's why I was hoping someone with my same phone could try a 3g sim and see if he doesn't have that setting like me (GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto). Anyone? Thanks!!

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

Hello,
Out of the box / no mods..
Using LTE/4G Sim card..
I only have these options:

WCDMA only
GSM only
GSM / WCDMA auto
There's no LTE option in my phone

Sorry, how do I check the APN settings? And what other information do you need?
model number is HTC One 801e
access point names:
internet.globe.com.ph
APN doesn't have anything to do with the availability of LTE in your phone. It's the phone itself.
Some HTC One variants don't have any LTE radios in their unit hence you can't see any LTE options.
And by the way 801e variant don't have LTE... 801n is the one with LTE.

APN is just a configuration for your phone to be able to connect to your network's internet gateway hence it's called Access Point Name While network mode is an option you can set to your phone to tell which radios it will activate.
Activating the LTE radio on your phone enables the phone to accept LTE signals but APN is also required.
you could consider the APN as a pass or invitation in real life situation whereas you are not allowed to enter/access without an invitation.
Is there a way for me to have an LTE signal?
I contacted the seller, and they're insisting that they sold me an LTE capable unit.
I asked for a replacement unit that's LTE capable, but they might just force this one..
To check:
Go to the dialer and enter;
*#*#4636#*#*
Click on Phone Information
Scroll down to Set preferred network type and check if LTE is an option

I tried this:
Set preferred network type: GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto
But going back to Settings > Mobile data / Mobile Network Settings > Network Mode
LTE still not in the options list
Dont think you can force the option from here without the correct APN settings and a valid network supporting LTE.
There are two models in HTC One.
First one is HTC One 801e which is only 3g compatible and is exclusive to Taiwan and the other one is HTC One 801s which is 4g compatible which is for rest of the world.
First you check your CID.If your CID is HTC_621 then your phone is only 3g compatible.
To check your CID download (Cid getter) from play store.

Lte will not stick

Hey guys ive got a brand new htc one thats running 4.1.2. 1.26 firmware. For some reason I cannot enable lte. When I enter the *#*#4636#*#* menu and select gsm/wcdma/lte auto it will immediately switch back to wcdma auto. I know my sim card supports lte because my htc one xl gets lte. Anyone know how to fix this?

Have you tried removing and re-inserting the sim card? If your APN settings were somehow wrong, that could default the phone to WCDMA. If it still isn't showing up, you could always manually set your APN, and then try to enable LTE. Aside from that, make sure your MID (model id) supports LTE. If it does, then I would contact HTC either for support or a replacement.
So, got HTC One M7 801n 32GB (PN0710000).
In Settings-etwork I don't have LTE option, only WCDMA/GSM, however, in Bearer I see LTE. I know this option is disabled in most branded phones, but mine is generic (HTC_001) and it comes SIM free (not locked). Is this option affected with SIM and/or APN settings?
Sorted :
In APN settings deleted proxy, kept just APN and all other fields left blank,reboot and all ok.

[Q] Virgin Mobile HTC Desire 510 on GSM Networks

I got a Virgin Mobile HTC Desire 510 4G NoContract Cell Phone Black at Best Buy during Black Friday. If I manage to get it SIM unlocked will it work with GSM networks? Has anyone done this?
Thanks!
No. From the looks of it, the Virgin Mobile variant is a CDMA only device. So it doesn't have the hardware necessary for GSM functionality.
Buddy but htc 510 is global device ...?
Any progress on checking with gsm networks.
HTC Desire 510 Virgin USA
Hi there,
I wish to know if you could guide me through some alternative approach to unlock for HTC Desire 510 Virgin Mobile.
This is a no contract phone with Virigin Mobile USA.
I am sure it has the GSM Capabilities as well, when I looked at the usermanual, it has an option where I Can go to settings and change if only GSM or CDMA can be used.
I purchased an unlock code from another service provider online. Followed the steps. When I insert another sim card, it does not prompt me to enter the Unlock Code and the phone keeps saying Invalid Sim.
Would you guys be able to help.
Are there any other options on your phone?
On your phone, do you have any options other than: LTE/CDMA and CDMA ?
Thanks !

Ok, thank you! I know it can be unlocked, both the SIM and the boot loader, but that was not my question. The question has to do with the network. On the settings shows LTE/CDMA and CDMA; for it to work on a GSM network it would have to say something like GSM 2G, GSM 3G, GSM 4G or something like that.

I have the same question about this phone, I bought it on Cyber Monday and an Amazon Customer Agent told me that is a GSM phone. On the phone you can type * # * # 4 6 3 6 # * # * and a menu will show and you can change between some options include GSM/GPRS/LTE/CDMA/WCDMA.
Currently I'm searching the way to unlock it to use any network but still without nothing :crying:
If you have any option to us we placed you!!

Virgin HTC Desire 510
Hi All,
I am in exactly the same situation. Bought the phone expecting to unlock but not able to. I bought an unlock code but of course there is no prompt for the code. In network options I only have CDMA/LTE or CDMA.
Has anyone succeeded in unlocking?
Thanks!
Hello everyone.
As i didnt want to open an new topic because i found this one.
I am from Greece and i got this phone as gift from my uncle., the phone is setup at CDMA network and does not have the GSM/WCDMA setting. when i get into the *#*#INFO#*#* i can see there that i can change the network type to GSM/WCDMA/LTE but i dont know how to save it. does anyone know any method to make this one work properly?
Unlock GSM Bands
You don't have to do anything to save it. I would bet that you can change it and if you wait a little while it reverts back to CDMA. I think it reverts back because the frequencies needed for GSM/WCDMA/LTE are locked. I would recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...ad-progress-please-leave-im-updating-t2871269 and unlocking the following bands:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600
After you do that, my guess is that it will accept GSM/WCDMA/LTE. Beware that I have not done this, but that's what makes sense to me. Let us know the outcome. Good luck!

Windows should automatically try to find the drivers... if it does not use the drivers on the original post. If windows finds the drivers you should have a new Com port and you can go to step 14.

SM920P Can't establish wireless data connection troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I bought a SM920P Note 5 (Sprint) in , I could use 3G at VietNam without any problems but when I arrive at Japan, I can't use 3G anymore, only ordinary phone calls and SMS. The phone keeps alerting this error : lte:esm - 29 emm - x unable to stablish a wireless data connection.
I have entered the APN setting of the carrier. I tried to put the SIM into another phone and it works without problems.
In the settings>more>about device>status : the networks says HSPDA. So I changed the Bearer in the APN setting to HSPDA but still no luck !
My OS now is Nougat, and I don't think the phone is rooted because I'm receiving auto updates.
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this problem?
Forgive me if there were missing information, just ask me and I will provide, sorry I'm not very "technical" !

I only have 4 mode in my network mode :
- CDMA
- LTE/CDMA
- GSM/UTMS
- Automatic
If I chose CDMA or LTE/CDMA there won't be any signal at all, the working options are GSM/UTMS and Automatic which I assume is the GSM/UTMS itselft.
Any ideas ??

Did you get Sprint to unlock your phone for a different carrier before you left? Those APN settings have to be set exactly right and you must save it. Once you change your network mode it may take a bit to get signal.

No, unfortunately I bought the phone in Vietnam, are there other ways to solve this? Like rooting the device and make some system changes?

I do not know if rooting it would do you any good. I am not sure if changing the firmware would allow you to change carriers. I am not even positive that's the problem. Did it ask for some kind of code after you inserted the new SIM?
Is it a data only SIM? I think it needs to be a data only SIM being a CDMA phone.

Hi RedNeck, sorry for the late reply.
No it did not ask for any code when I inserting the SIM, the SIM is capable of Call and SMS.

No problem. I could be wrong but I am pretty sure your Sprint phone is CDMA and I am pretty sure that the only thing your phone uses your SIM card for is LTE data. So if I am correct you need a SIM that is data only. The other phone it works in, is it CDMA or GSM?

Thanks for the quick reply.
Actually I don't know anything about the CDMA or GSM things. Here is the result I got from googling the spec of the other phone :
Technology
GSM / HSPA / LTE
So, assuming you're right, can I just "disable" the calling and SMS function of the SIM, make it to become a data only SIM? I already got into a 6 month contract here, so I can't change the contract type in about 5 months !!!

You are welcome. I do not think you can do that to a SIM. The other phone sounds like a GSM phone and if the SIM works in that phone it will not work in a CDMA phone. I would go to your new carrier and ask if there is anything they can help you with. That's assuming that you are not carrier locked to Sprint. Then you have the fact that the CDMA SIM will not work in your other phone.

I would go to your new carrier and ask if there is anything they can help you with. That's assuming that you are not carrier locked to Sprint. Then you have the fact that the CDMA SIM will not work in your other phone.

Thanks, but are you sure this is a CDMA Phone? Because when I change the Network Mode to CDMA or LTE/CDMA, the phone will lose all the signal?

Yes I am sure. I have seen CDMA carrier phones that were refurbished by third parties that "claim" they are unlocked for GSM carriers. I am not sure how much I trust that. You may hit up Sprint support and see if there is something they can do for you. If you bought it on contract from them they may not do anything for you.
Good luck.
