[Working]Sprint HTC One With OMH SIM(RUIM) !! - Sprint HTC One (M7)

I am able to get my Sprint HTC One to accept my RUIM(CDMA-SIM) of one of CDMA network provider in my country, by making Sprint HTC One to read from RUIM only. Calls, Text & Data is working. The only issue is that it is continuously staying in 'Digital Roaming' or 'Roaming', although I've not been charged any roaming charges by my (RUIM)network provider, all the calls, text are being charged normally with absolutely no roaming charges. And another interesting thing is that if I stop roaming by going into Settings-->Mobile Data-->Roaming & selecting 'Home Only', the phone completely stops receiving signal. I don't know why it still needs that Roaming part to be active even though it is not truly in roaming & I was only charged as per normal rates by my (RUIM) Networ provider & again absolutely no roaming charges. And there is no issue with GSM but with CDMA mode you get that 'Digital Roaming'. I hope some one experienced shed some light on this & suggest a solution for this only issue, which although doesn't stop me(us) using RUIM based CDMA Network in my(our) country(ies).
Please take a look at the attached screenshots which prove that data is also working.

[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.

I will be replacing my phone. I replaced the sim card and that wasn't the problem . The rep said that someone else came in with the same problem as well.

no 4g on one phone while other has it?

i have two one the htc one's and one will connect to 4g the other will not. anyone else have the same problem. also anyone know the ##code to get into the edit/program section?

Hmmm..I just exchanged my silver for a black one and also cannot get 4g. My wife has one and hers gets it just fine. My old one did as well. I have checked all the setting suggested above and still nada. Seems this one is going back as well.
I'm on my 2nd HTC one and it operates the same as my 1st one.. In the dock of my car it connects to 4G just fine..with in a few seconds of handling the phone it drops to 3G..It works fine in great signal areas but on the out skirts of an LTE tower it just won't hold 4G..
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
Update prl and update profile
Im in the same boat. Seems like 4g is HORRIBLE with this phone. Had the Note 2 and wife has GS4 both pick up 4g no problem, but the One picks up 4g for couple seconds then drops off completely. Yes, I tested this in the same areas.
really bummed out cuz I got the phone used so i can't return it. Love the phone, but its useless if i can't get 4g because Sprint's 3g is so slow its unusable.

Well I just exchanged my black and went back to silver and still the same issue. I am starting to think the guy that set up my phone on my account jacked something up. I have been all through the service provisioning matching it to my friend that has one....and only found one difference. Seems my phone is only picking up CDMA-EVDO Rev-a instead of CDMA - eHRPD. When I change the prefered network from LTE/CDMA it will try to connect to eHRPD but then switches back to EVDO and no 4G. So I will try to call sprint and have them inspect my account as I have not seen a way in the service programming to force eHRPD. It would be nice to have the others that are having this issue check the Mobile network type as well and see what they are running.
Try not touching the phone and see that it holds 4G until you touch it...I know its pretty useless to not be able to touch your phone but this has been my experience.
In my experience, not touching the phone does not seem to fix the problem. I do notice a small signal loss if I have the left side of the phone against the palm of my hand. The real issue here seems to be related to the phone having some sort of broken threshold from when to switch to 3g to 4g and how much better the 3g signal has to be in order to decide to switch off of 4g to 3g.
I noticed that the LTE Scan Time is set way higher than what the EVO LTE is set to with latest firmware (300 on the HTC One vs 5 on the EVO LTE). I have not had much time to test changing this to see if it makes a real difference or not though. You can check what your LTE scan time is set to in ##3282#. You will need to get your MSL to change it if you want to do that (there is a method to get your MSL without rooting here on XDA).
Another thing you can try to see if it is indeed a reception problem or a problem with the phone not switching between 3G and 4G smartly is to set the phone to LTE / CDMA(1xRTT) only. You can do this in *#*#4636#*#* under the phone information submenu. Tap where it says "CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto" and change it to "LTE, CDMA" or even "LTE only".

Issue resolved for me! After 6 phone exchanges I was able to uncover what was causing the phone to not get on eHRPD which is Sprints upgraded software on the towers. I called sprint support and made them verify my UICC ID under about/phone identity, this also is the same as number as the SIM id. They did not match what was on my account. I went back to Best Buy and they called activation's and they sent a profile update with the correct SIM and UICC ID and it solved the issue. No more 104 data issues and I can get 4G now. WOO HOO!
I do want to say that Sprint really went to bat for me to get this resolved. I have to say thanks to the San Diego Sprint rep who kept in touch with me through out all of this.....Thank you man!!!

You have to call sprint customer care to have them verify what you have on your phone. I recommend calling from some other phone when you call though. Just explain that you are having issues with your data and you heard that sometimes the UUIC ID/SIM ID are incorrect. They might come back and tell you, "well thats for international only" but in fact the SIM ID is used for LTE from what I found out. Just insist (nicely) that you just want to try it.
On the phone you can see your SIM ID under settings/about/Phone Identity.
One way to see if this fixes the issue is look under settings/about/Network and look under Mobil Network Type. If it is always running in EvDo rev A. then you have the issue if the towers in your area have Network Vision updated towers.
Hope this helps...PM me if you want more information. I can also get you tower data in your area if you would like.
slayer69, Thank you so much for your quick response. My phone runs with EHRPD when it showed 3G, not rev. A. However, my phone had the same issue, not connecting to 4G/LTE. From time to time, it will show 4G signal on the bar. However, when I tried to use it, it will switch back to 3G. I will call sprint to verify if tI have the sim card issue.

I talked with Sprint. It seemed that my SIM/UICC code is matched with the system. So my problem is still not resolved. I used an app to check the signal information, which showed that I have -70dB LTE signal. However, I just can't connect to LTE.
It seems that it is not only me. Check this link

Thanks to all in this thread. I had the same problem while in Oakland. My wife has an S2 on sprint and she had a strong 4g connection and mine was stuck on 3g. Now if this is a hardware issue that this phone has what if anything can we do. Can we exchange for a different device

AT&T and LTE?

Anyone using LTE on the Nexus 6 with AT&T? Mine from Motorola came today. I'm just getting HSPA though. When I try to select preferred network LTE, the button is filled but the text doesn't say lte. Previous phone was the 6 Plus. Any help? Talked to AT&T and they added the phone but no worky!

I have the same issue, except I was not able to even select LTE before calling the tech support.
The tech support has confirmed my data plan and APN setting are correct.
Can it be like the tech support said it might be the sim card? Or my APN setting is actually incorrect?
Anyone has solution for this issue?
If someone with LTE can post his/her APN setting, I'd be really thankful.

Thanks a lot! It does allow me to use LTE.
I found out my phone switched to LTE couple minutes after I post the reply.
I had another APN setting, and it also works with the setting you provided.
So the key here is to talk to a knowledgeable tech support, and confirm your plan, IMEI, and APN setting is correct on his/her end.
The tech support mentioned my device displayed on his end was not Nexus 6, so I provided him with my IMEI, and that is probably why I was able to select LTE for my prefer network.
I'm on AT&T with an AT&T preordered 32GB. I've got my grandfathered unlimited LTE (according to the tech support chat dude) and the IMEI matches his database. I'm still only getting on average 1-3Mbps down and .02-1Mbps up.
I've double checked APN settings, tried the old "phone" APN settings, spoke with chat who advised me to try a new SIM or exchange the phone, reboots and all. I'm pretty much in DC, so coverage should be a non-issue. I've got full bars and the indicator shows "LTE". I'm at a loss and was wondering if anyone on here had any bright ideas?
I have AT&T, but purchased my unit at T-Mobile. I switched sim cards out the box, and had LTE with no issues.
Have no problems with mine (and yes, mine is a freshly rooted AT&T model Nex6--yes, you can oem unlock and root it just fine).
Of course, I also live in one of those parts of the country where the Deathstar Telco tends to have the best coverage so there's that; I'd be shocked if I DIDN'T get LTE around here
(Which is rather more than I can say for Sprint around here, but that's neither here nor there)

No LTE?

I apologize in advance if this has been addressed before. I'm running stock-rooted 5.0, stock kernel, and what I think(?) might be the radio for 5.0.1 I'm not sure... APN settings are correct and in the *#*#4636#*#* Phone Info menu I'm using LTE/GSM/CDMA Auto (PRL). Do I need to double check my radio or do something else? I'm on T-Mo with the TRULY Unlimited data plan. Any suggestions?

Are you sure there is no LTE. I believe come of the notification icons are finicky. In other words, on mine someone it will show extremly low service bars but does not affect my phone? or data in any noticable way. Also are you in a bad service area?
What does the top right say? Have you received lte on previous devices being in the same location where you are now?

Radio for 5.0.1 ends with .04R. Do you ever show LTE in settings, see my screenshot. I've got Verizon obviously but with TMo you should get LTE too. If you have another phone stick the sim card in it and see if you get LTE in the other phone. If not could be the sim. Could be bad signal area too. FWIW TMo LTE is band 4 and soon to come band 12.
Wow. Thanks all for responses. @vvveith I am in an excellent service area LTE for miles! @zephiK Yes I used data over LTE on my Nexus 5 just fine. @jawmail Yes my radio ends with .04R. Sadly I do not have another phone nor SIM card adaptor to try your method with. Would the newer radio make my data signal fluctuate b/w 3G, H, and LTE? I understand that this is a different phone but I swapped radios on the Nexus4/5 all the time and it never hurt anything.

1) Did you get LTE on the 5.0 Radio?
2) Try setting it to LTE/GSM auto (PRL) instead
3) When you say APN is correct. Which one are you using / looking for? Ensure it is T-Mobile 4G LTE IPv6 (if its already on IPv6 try IPv4)
If worst comes to worst, go to the T-Mobile store and get a free SIM card replacement, if they don't want to give you a free SIM. Give them a call, it'll take a couple days to arrive but T-Mo employees are quite nice about giving SIM cards. Especially since you paid for a N6 which is expensive.

1.)Yes i did and it was much more reliable.
2.)Overnight I switched b/w those two settings and kept getting the same result.
3.)I switched the APN to IPV4/6 and that seemed(?) to have solved it.
This has been going on for a couple days so I might see if I can get a new SIM.

1.)Yes i did and it was much more reliable.
2.)Overnight I switched b/w those two settings and kept getting the same result.
3.)I switched the APN to IPV4/6 and that seemed(?) to have solved it.

I cannot find where set the APN don't see under More, Cellular. I can VZW where can I find the APN on N6?

You had it right, its under more > cellular > access point names (APN), then select your carrier.

For the rom I am on I don't see under cellular the option for APN. Do I have to be back to factory to see it.

With custom Roms its hard to say. Safest answer would be yes go to factory

SM-N950W : Mobile Data not working.

Hello,
My note 8 cannot connect to mobile data. Whenever I activate it, nothing happens I don't get any mobile data signal what so ever. I also checked the APN's configuration with my Mobile carrier and they were unable to solve it.
It should be noted that my note 8 has a stock Canadian firmware and I am using in Morocco with a Moroccan sim card

did you check with your morocco sim does include data from your plan? Also which carrier are you using in Moroccan? it could be either your plan doesn't include data plan or the carrier doesn't have the UMT/LTE band for your note 8

Yes, I still have around 1gig of data available and My plan includes data.
My service provider is INWI and they do have LTE band since The same sim card worked on my previous J5 2016 normally.
I forgot to mention that, After activating mobile data and roaming, I checked the sim status in the setting where I found that Mobile network state is DISCONNECTED and Roaming is not running.

Can you test if you can make call or text? if so, i will suggest double check the apn. I checked your carrier in Morocco , you should be able to get HSPA data connection in Canadian Version Note 8(N950W) unless you select (LTE ONLY).

I can confirm that I can make phone calls and send texts without a problem.
I checked all options and none worked .
As for the apn, the configuration message was sent to me by my service provider itself.
I performed a factory reset that didn't help too.
Since you can make the call, I don't think it is something wrong with the phone. I checked there's only 1 hspa band and none for lte available for note 8 from your carrier. I guess either double check with the carrier for the apn or maybe the phone just can't pick the b1 hspa signal from your location.

I won't mind HSPA since there's not much difference between LTE and HSPA in Morocco. I doubled checked with my carrier today and they told me that I have to wait for 48H for them to look into the issue.
The weird thing is when I used an app called LTE Discovery I found that I do have a signal for LTE band 3 yet I have no internet.
It is mostly the service provider's fault, I think.

They might be similar to AT &T where they need to recognize the device IMEI number before allowing full data access onto their Network.

I have never thought of it till now. I'll definitely mention this to my carrier ASAP.

I checked with my service provider. Unfortunately, they don't need to recognize the IMEI number.
They tried to shift the blame to my phone saying that I might have a faulty device. It doesn't make any sense.

First thing I'd do is research and see if it's true what your service provider told you. It might not be. Second use another sim from another network in your device. Third borrow someone else's IMWI sim and use it in the note 8. Also check APN again.
Did the phone receive 4G or LTE prior to coming to Morocco with the same device?
I also don't fully understand on your earlier post about the phone status not being roaming. It shouldn't be roaming status if using a local sim card.

I still haven't tried another INWI nor another Moroccan sim card.
I have no idea whether or not it received 4G Before coming to Morocco since I won the phone from a Dbrand's giveaway. I think it's brand new.
Shouldn't roaming be active when you activate it in menu ?
I turned on mobile data roaming and nothing happens. Check the picture for details.
I turned off my Data Roaming and the Mobile network state remained the same - connected. I'd think " Mobile network state " has anything to do with roaming being on or off unless one is roaming out of their Network onto another network.

I turn them on and off yet their status remain disconnected. I understand why.
I really don't understand how to get mobile data working on my phone.
Hopefully someone else will try and assist.
In the meantime
On the phone dialer enter *#0011# and *#2263#
Also, the mobile network state will be disconnected if you are connected to WiFi.
Should get the following screen.
Also make sure that the correct APN is entered and active / selected.
Then try and go to the connections menu and toggle lte/3g/2g... to 2 or 3 g and back to to 4g to see what happens.
Also make sure Mobile Data is turned ON.
Go-to settings then search for Mobile Data.

Thanks a lot for your efforts.
It turned out that my service provider does not support the bands on my note or something.
I tried an other provider's sim and that worked like charm.
Again thanks alooot for your efforts.

That's weird as when I checked Frequency check website with device sm-n950W and your service provider INWI , it lists it as fully compatible. The other Moroccan networks were not though.
This would be the second instant whereby Frequency check has got it wrong. First being Samsung device I used to own.

I checked the frequency myself and I came to the same conclusion.
I was only told today by an INWI agent that devices from Canada and USA always face the same issue.
I triend orange which didn't work too. Gladly, IAM worked as it is the largest and oldest network in Morocco.
From now on, I won't believe what websites say till I see for myself.
