[Q] Moto x - carrier signal oscillation - Moto X Q&A

My Moto X has its carrier signal rebooting really often when I am not moving. Tried disabling LTE but did no change, any ideas why? My Carrier is Vivo (Brazil). With my Samsung Galaxy S2 that did not happen :/

Maybe the coverage area in wich you move on does not have LTE coverage i currently live in Puerto Rico with my Moto X i mostly have the same issue, called the carrier and told me that.
Hope that helps

But disabling lte should fix it, right? I tried disabling the lte and did not change. My plan, for now, cannot change to 4g yet, let's see if that gets better when I change it.
I contacted Motorola many times about this, tried few things like resetting local network app data, but it is the same

I suppose it's a carrier problem, i have not heard any problems on the At&t network.

I have Claro (Brasil) and it is perfectly fine for me.

Moto X US import on EE UK

Hi all
Have just bought a moto x off of someone. They've told me it's a us import. As of yet I cannot seem to get a lte signal on the ee network in the Uk and I'm worried I've bought something that isn't going to get lte in this country (my fault should have checked first)
Does anyone know if it's possible to root and install a new firmware so that it sees the lte band here in the Uk. (1800 I think)
Please tell me I haven't made a massive mistake buying this.
Cheers
CJ

Looks like it's a XT1058 if that helps.

There is no chance of adding 1800mhz LTE, the needed hardware is not present in an XT1058. It does have band 7 LTE though(2600Mhz) if you have a provider that uses that.

Moto X Not Switching to LTE

So I picked up an unlocked XT1053 GSM developer edition a month or so ago. I got on Net10 and everything seems fine except for one issue.
When I am in an HSPA+ area and come into a known LTE area the phone doesn't seem to switch to LTE right away. If I toggle airplane mode on and off I get full LTE with good signal and it holds strong until I'm back in a weak area. If I am in an LTE area for a while after about 30 min or so it will finally switch on it's own, but I would think it should be much faster without using airplane mode. Anyone have any ideas?
Call your service provider and provide them your IMEI so they can provision your device.

LTE works on my phone though, it just doesn't switch right away. It seems like if HSPA+ is even one dB better then it stays on it. If I toggle airplane mode I get strong LTE. Is that a provisioning issue?
Is there a way with APNs or anything to make LTE take priority if it's present?
It could be the provisioning. You sim may not be fully provisioned. If that doesn't fix it.
You can change it to lte only.
Install a app called any cut. Create a short cut for testing. Select the first option and at the bottom change it lte only. See if it works. If not then the network isn't allowing iy

Well I ordered an actual nano Sim from net10 since they just got them. It will be here tomorrow so I'm sure that when I transfer my service to it my account will get provisioned. If I still have problems I'll try what you mentioned.

[q] how can i enable mms and lte for at&t?

I have a verizon note 3 sm-n900v that I want to use on AT&T. I have rooted it and accessed the service mode screen and enabled b4. I have set up the APN and I am able to send and receive texts and make and receive calls. My data works, but it is on H and H+. I can not get on LTE or send MMS messages....can someone please help me?!
I have read that AT&T runs on a different LTE band, so I am just checking to see if this is true and also ask that if I pay for a factory unlock if it will fix it so that it operates the way it is supposed to.
Thanks

Well Verizon is CDMA where att is GSM, totally different and not sure it is even possible.. Odd that you can even see it.. this is probably your issue. Only other provider I think you can fully work on is sprint (and other mini ones that are CDMA)

actually tmobile works fine on it. You can switch the APN to gsm and it works just fine. The verizon note 3 is the only one that came factory unlocked to run on any network...you just need to tweak the settings.

I know tmobile works fine as it is GSM, but never heard of Verizon or sprint working. Think last i seen those 2 didn't use a sim card like att which could lead to other issues as well
From my Fired-up Kitty
I meant to say att works fine on it aside from those two issues I can't figure out.

Is your main provider att or Verizon. If v then my guess might be that you don't have an att sim that they can validate for the lte etc.

My provider is Att. I want to use a Verizon phone on att

LTE will not work.
Only HSPA+
Change APN settings for MMS
I did change the apn and still nothing. I'm stuck without knowing what to do. I can receive pictures but not send and surf the Internet fine on h and h+ any ideas?

This?
I actually had that. Att needed to do something internally for it to work. Thanks!

Sim stood being recognized

Hey there. I got this new moto x and have been holding off on is upgrades until I can get my bearings on what I need to do to ensure fully unlocked and customizable phone in the future as I caught wind of issues doing so post kk. Twice now my Sim has stopped working. Wondering if this was a known issue or if I need to investigate prior to visit the warranty
Thanks in advanced for any feedback.

Just understand that if you really have an XT1053 on ATT, it doesn't support all the bands ATT uses for LTE so you'll fall back to HSPA

Interesting. On 4g now and thought I checked for compatibility.
My issue is that I drop all communication. Not that I step down in speed.

Right, the missing LTE bands shouldn't cause total loss of service.
For ATT there is 4G HSPA and 4G LTE.. not sure how the GSM varients report each. And the XT1053 does support the primary LTE band ATT uses.
Hey there,
I had the same issue. Got a XT1058 and am using it on T-Mobile. I kept loosing signal completely. Sim Card not recognized.
The problem I found is that if you are using a sim card that has been cut to fit the tray will cause signal loss issue.
Went to T-Mobile got a new sim card and been using it without a problem.
Let us know if this helps you.

Moto X 1095 Pure Edition on Cricket LTE issues

I was having some slow data connection so decided to call this AM. To my surprise they are telling me that my phone is not compatible with the Cricket LTE towers. It even shows I have LTE on the status bar.
How is that possible other than them not wanting to give me LTE since I did not buy the phone through them?
I might as well switch to Straight Talk if that is the case.

They're flat wrong and just trying to get you off the phone. With the Lollipop update the Pure edition supports all of AT&T's LTE bands (2/3/4/5/7/17) so it also supports Cricket since they are an AT&T MVNO.
If you check out Howard Forums you'll see that you're not alone in experiencing slow LTE speeds.
http://www.howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php/336-Cricket-AIO
On the Cricket website there is a compatibility section where you enter the IMEI number it says the phone is only compatible with 3g not LTE. Makes no sense.
Just gonna keep it simple and switch to Net10 or Straight Talk instead of worrying about it. If they want my business they shouldn't be inaccurate!
I'm on cricket wireless and I have to build an APN for LTE to work.

Will what did you do to "build" your APN for LTE to work with AT&T / Cricket ?

Go to cricket's website and search for APN settings. Enter those on your phone. My XT 1095 has had perfect connectivity on crickets LTE using those settings.

Thanks, works great! I was confused by the one post about "building" a APN lol... I thought I was missing something but was more than likely just poor English. I got it working though even with a trimmed down micro SIM lol.
When I first put my cricket sim in, they automatically pushed all the apn settings to my phone.

I never send mms but I just tried it to make sure it worked and their pushed settings was wrong as well. I did the same as you. You would think that they would get the apn setting right. I've had LTE the entire time, just no mms.

My theory is this: for whatever reason cricket thinks our phone is 3G only (run your imei on cricket's compatibility checker) and therefore pushes apn settings meant for 3G phones.
