My HSPA+ has been throttled to Edge on this plan since it's 500MB max , But my LTE I believe is unlimited since no provision on it? Haven't been throttles on LTE, Hopefully I don't with this $40 greatness.

I used my verizon g2 on t mobile but only got HSPA+. Couldn't get 4G because the verizon G2 doesnt have the t mobile 4g bands. I thought MetroPCS used ATT towers.

HSPA+ is a form of 4G for T-Mobile. LTE I forgot how it works, but LG G2 are able to pick it up off T-Mobile. I'm currently on Metro PCS still using a stock rom and it picks up 4G LTE and switches to HSPA+ when out of LTE area and even goes to Edge when in a bad area. Its all in using the right APN Settings.
and Metro PCS is owned by T-Mobile, so its using T-Mobile Towers.
For Stock roms, U would have to input T-mobile LTE APN settings to access it.

Can you please tell me how to get data (either 3G or 4G) on the Lg g2 verizon? I already put in a T-mobile sim card, changed network to GSM mode and add an APN following the instructions on the Internet but all I get is voice calling only. The notification bar shows a 3G symbol but I'm not able to connect to the Internet at all. (

I'm on Stock rom and getting data. The apn is fast.t-mobile.Com
The name is T-Mobile LTE
Change your network setting to global for LTE

Am I seeing this correctly? I ask not to be a smartbutt... I ask because if Im understanding you, I cant get this to work at all.
You said you have the Verizon LG G2 on MetroPCS using the T-mobile LTE APN settings... but you did not have to root or flash or smack or take a hammer to it? Its completely stock?

Yep been using mine for a couple of months completely stock, works great.

Yeah I think Verizon LG G2 are the only ones unlocked to different carriers. Because I also use my wifes t mobile sim with no problem at all.

i cant seem to get mms on stock roms tried using xdabbeb g3 rom and data works but no mms is it even possible ??

Verizon LG G2 on T-Mobile 4G LTE...

Been playing with This for a few days... There's a thread in the Verizon G2 for running a T-Mobile rom on the Verizon variant of the G2. I live in an area where the T-Mobile towers were refarmed for LTE. Well I've been running the Rom And ordinarily I was getting their HSPA+ "4G". Not realising I could Go in and change the connection types or whatever, I changed it to GSM/WCDMA/LTE and this happened:

U can buy it CHEAP if u know where to looking.
Has built in wireless charging for those who like that.
And it can operate on 2 4G LTE networks.

Not yet, looking at family plans and coverage plus employee discount which could sway staying or going. Also have contract till June on unlim which deciding if I want to keep or not.
I'm on month to month with Verizon right now and still have unlimited data. I priced or tmo as I thought of changing to save money... I have a 20% vzw discount through work so monthly costs were identical. I stuck with Verizon.
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
My main job doesn't offer T-Mobile discounts or Verizon, but my 2nd one does. 17%. Even with the discount not utilized from T-Mobile, it ended up being $30 cheaper for me on a family plan with my wife. Add the 17% and it becomes even cheaper. But their service isn't great at my house. And we can't get internet at my house because of the way the street is wired around my way (sucks but oh well) so we use a VZW hotspot. Idk what I should do yet.

I am still trying to get mine working on the T-Mobile LTE. Am told I have to root, but how do you get around the phone staying on "Connected As Installer" for only 30 seconds, then for no apparent reason, swapping to MTP mode? Also, I would like to see step-by-step instructions on how to root, then install the T-Mobile rom.
Bought mine on Saturday and running PA. Got the $45 plan but only 500 mb. Might jump back to T-Mobile next cycle is it's 4G is guaranteed. If not, dihb up automatic payment and get an additional 500 mb.

Verizon 26A stock rom running on Tmobile with LTE
I have my VS980 working perfect on T-Mobile's network through Straight Talk getting LTE on the stock rom that came with the phone. The only "issue" is when I reboot the phone it loads 4G lte in cdma mode until I make my first call, but even then I am still able to use the internet on 4G lte in cdma mode. All it takes is one call made and it automatically changes over to GSM 4G LTE. I have since rooted, but I originally was running on Straight Talk's T-Mobile sim without root. I dont get the VoLTE I had been getting through Verizon, so when I make a call I see the 4G LTE icon change to either 3G or H (hspa+), but it reverts right back to 4G LTE within 5 seconds (usually less). I did install a modified apk for the Verizon Hotspot which now lets me use hotspot and tethering, after I am notifed that a Verizon LTE sim is not installed which is required for Hotspot to work. I am lookind at full bars right now ans I can send a screenshot if needed. I dont think I will flash to a T-Mobile rom since everything runs so smoothly just the way it is. I am in Kansas City, Missouri, and have traveled all over Kansas City Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas ans all the outlying suburbs abd LTE is flawless. When I get too far from the metropolitan area I will end up with umts, G, E (edge), but I never lose the ability to make or receive voice calls, just 4G LTE.
VS9800 on Straight Talk's T-Mobile LTE with stock rom
Sorry, I failed to mention that I actually access T-mobile's 4G LTE network through a Straight Talk sim. All I had to do was replace the Verizon sim with the T-mobile micro sim that came in the Straight Talk BYOP kit ($60-that included 30 days of unlimited service and 3 gigabytes of 4G LTE data) & the phone was instantly operating on T-mobile's 4G LTE network sans any apn configuring whatsoever. Kept the phone on Global network mode. Kansas City is a refarmed area for T-mobile. I suspect I am getting their 4G LTE on the band 4 (aws) spectrum. I have done quite a few speed tests and I get around 30 Mbps for upload and download when I have 3 or more bars. On Verizon in Kansas City I was getting 70 Mbps with full bars, so. I definitely took a hit there, but the difference is mostly academic, really.

[Q] Will "Unlocked GSM" Moto X from US work in India?

Hello everyone,
As you all know there was a sale just for one day on Moto X over in US (May 1st), I ordered the 32gb version for myself. As I am in India and will be using this phone here, on the choose a carrier page I selected: GSM Unlocked (includes T-Mobile Sim) option.
My question is: Will this phone support Indian Sim cards? Also does this phone support LTE? And which version (AT&T or T-Mobile) will I get as below GSM Unlocked, it`s written AT&T and T-Mobile 4G LTE with Global HSPA?
Which one is better in terms of future software updates?

I don't see why not. Buy away!
I am confused because even though I selected GSM Unlocked version it mentiones that it includes the T-Mobile Sim. So, I am wondering will it only work with the T-Mobile SIM??
I'm sure it had something to do with T-Mobile's overseas network. Just pop in your SIM and disregard the one it comes with.

Thanks, I am yet to receive the phone here in India as I just purchased it yesterday from the Moto US Store. It might take 10-12 days for it to get delivered here at my door step.
Great! I how you enjoy the phone, you won't regret your purchase!
Did it work
Did u receive the moto x ...did it work in india
The GSM Unlocked (ships with T-Mobile SIM) is the same as the GSM Developer Edition, and "T-Mobile" edition.
Per Moto's web site it supports...
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
3G UMTS bands: 850/900/ AWS/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps (B5/B8/B4/B2/B1)
4G LTE bands: 700/AWS/1900MHz (B17/B4/B2)
There is a chance you may need to adjust APN settings. And there are a few threads about making USA Moto X work in India that you may want to look for because I don't know the specifics.

A very bad thing happened; Motorola USA cancelled my order and didn`t even tell me the reason for that. After that I had no choice but to buy the phone locally from Flipkart. :crying:
Anyways, I got the 16GB variant.

Moto USA doesn't support orders outside of the USA. If you ordered with a non-USA shipping address, or "bill to" address, that is why they canceled it.

[Q] Does international S6 Edge G925F work on AT&T?

Does anyone know if the international S6 Edge G925F work on AT&T?
i'm debating if i should buy the international unlocked version so i get updates faster and less bloat, but i want to make sure the international model supports AT&T's LTE!

Yes, G925F will work great. Both devices support the same LTE bands, though the AT&T version also supports bands 29 & 30. This is not a huge deal as AT&T is not yet utilizing these. When they do, it will only be in heavily congested areas like big cities.
Somewhat related questions. 1. Where is a good place to buy the international version? 2. What options are there for insurance? I'm assuming that the AT&T insurance won't cover the international phone.
Does an international version also include an unlocked bootloader? I too am interested in what options there are for insurance. I am on AT&T as well.
What about the 925I what is the difference between the F and the I?
Guys,
I have the SM-G925F Gold 64GB and it doesn't work well with AT&T or T-Mobile. The reception is very bad compared to the AT&T model I have sitting next to it. The firmware must be tuned differently than what is needed for the US frequency bands. I can barely pick up LTE on either AT&T or T-Mobile when I have a great LTE signal on the AT&T variant SM-G925A sitting next to it. I would advise against purchasing the 925F.

Hi y2jdmbfan, could you use your dialer and enter *#0011# for both phones and let us know what band they are using? Also from this post, a user had to call AT&T to get the unlocked phone's IMEI registered on the AT&T network so it would be recognized as an LTE device. Thanks.

Here is the AT&T SM-G925A
Here is the International SM-G925F
I can post the LTE Discovery screenshots as well, which shows some craziness. The other part of this is that you can't get VoLTE or HDVoice with the International Version either...

Thanks for redoing the pictures. You know you should call AT&T and just verify that your sm-g925f is a recognized LTE device on its network. They'll easily verify your IMEI. It wouldn't hurt to try before sending it back.
As per paperWastage post:
paperWastage said:
AT&T only gives you access to the LTE network if you have a LTE-capable device. AT&T detects this by checking the IMEI, or by someone manually flagging the account/IMEI
Since they don't sell the international version, they don't have your IMEI flagged as a LTE device. Therefore, you get only 3G/HSPA.
You need to "register" a AT&T phone on your device by calling in and telling them the IMEI (use your older ATT phone, or a display model at a store). Then, swap the SIM to your new phone
AT&T may still have your old AT&T phone tied to your account, and given you LTE access even though you switched to this new phone

I'm using the IMEI for the AT&T branded White Galaxy S6 Edge I have sitting here on both lines, so that is not the issue. Thanks though.
Just so I understand correctly. Each phone has its own dedicated IMEI that can not be changed. When you put your AT&T SIM in the SM-G925F you are connecting to their network with the dedicated IMEI of the SM-G925F. From paperWastage explanation, how does AT&T know the IMEI for the SM-G925F which is an international phone know its a recognizable LTE device for its network? From his explanation you have to call them so they can add the SM-G925F to the network as a LTE device. The reason I'm trying to clarify is BC I'll be receiving my SM-G925F sometime this week and if it really does not work like you're finding I may not even open it and send it back. It'll save me on the restocking fee if I do not open it. But like I said I'm trying to understand how this all works. Thanks again.

Basically each phone has it's own IMEI, but all that matters is what features / phone is provisioned to your SIM card. There is not way that you can call AT&T and get them to add the SM-G925F as a recognized LTE device, it won't happen. You can tie any IMEI number to your account / SIM card in order to get your line / SIM setup for a proper LTE plan. One method is to just go in the store and get the IMEI off another Galaxy S6 Edge that is AT&T branded and log into your AT&T account and change your device to that IMEI.
Got it! Thank you kindly for clarifying. So it looks like I'll have to go with an unlocked SM-G925A.

It doesn't need to be unlocked if you are using it with AT&T...the SM-G925A is an AT&T version.
G9250
I am on AT&T and I am thinking about getting a SM-G9250 which unlocked from Hong Kong. It radio frequencies support is superior to all other variants and it even has CMDA support. At same price, it seems better choice than I or F model ( I have G920I now and I am happy with connectivity). I will not be flashing roms and will stick to stock rom. But I'm worried about things like Samsung Pay. Do you guys think samsung will enable pay for specific models? Are there any other concerns about getting the 9250 instead of F or I?
Here are the bands supported by G9250:
LTE B1, B2, B3, B4(AWS), B5, B7, B8, B12, B17, B18, B19, B20, B25, B26, B28, B29
TD-LTE B38, B41, B40, B39
2G bands GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
CDMA 800
3G bands HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
3G CDMA BC0(800)
3G TD-CDMA B34(2010), B39(1880)
Hey
where did you get the info on the bands for the different Models? i want to compare the models before i get it and i didnt know the G9250 actually supported the most bands..
Thanks !

From different Samsung regional websites. Go to TECH SPECS of each of these pages:
SM-G9250
SM-G925F
SM-G925I
G9250
So has anyone tried the other versions? G9250 seems interesting, anyone tried it yet? can more G925F owners confirm the slow connectivity issue with AT&T?
thanks !

Would it work in the USA?

Is there any reason this phone wouldn't work in the USA?
It seems to support enough t-mobile bands.....
But is it locked down or anything?
Yes it will be factory unlocked, like the oneplus phones.
Speaking of which, I have a Oneplus China model. It is missing some 4G bands. Let me tell you, if I didn't read it, I would never know. Carriers have numerous bands even on the same technology, and add to that, they can fall back to 3.5G which is HSPA+ also pushing 40Mb+. Day to day use, aside from some edge cases, you would probably never notice.
Yup! It has the same bands as the One Plus X (Bands 2, 4) which I have been using on T-Mobile with no complaints! Can't wait to get this phone.
What carrier do you use in the U.S.?
So AT&T and T-Mobile are the major carriers that this device could operate on. Does anyone know what MNVO's this would work on in the US?
From gsm arena:
2G bands GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2
3G bands HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G bands LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500)
Then check which bands your operator use. For virtual operators you might have to check the operator they rent lines from.
It will work if you're on GSM and in an area that is ok with 2 out of the 4 bands that AT&T uses.
I'm in Norway so I'm good on all bands except 20 (800MHz). Not a final deal breaker, but an unlock would be nice.

Ah, now that you mention it, on the oneplus forums there was a qualcomm radio unlocker with instructions posted, as far as I've read they have had success unlocking some bands. If interest picks up with this phone(which it seems like it will) I'm sure there will be guides here aswell.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56577252&postcount=455
So for T-Mobile LTE, you need 2, 4, and 12
But this phone only has 2 and 4
So it will work, but not as well as it would if the phone also had 12.
I think that for ATT it has 2,4,5 but not 17 in which case it will work some what with LTE and HSPA+ which I think its good enough for me.

Note that GSM is retiring at AT&T by year end. Then only UMTS & LTE
Mi Mix
damn you verizon wireless I wanted a Mi Mix!
So will it work with LTE ATT if I have good coverage, like in Dallas area?
Looking for a little more clear answer, for AT&T, USA.
I just want to know if the Xiaomi Mi MIX will function with the AT&T LTE Network as well as my S7 Edge, IPhone 7 Plus, or BB Priv?. Seems as if I am hearing it will work, but is it crippled, and something I am going to hate? If it's back to 3G, that stinks.
I appreciate the help!!

Does this mean no more HSPA+ ?
I've been using overseas phones for a while now here in the US on AT&T and while I don't get LTE, The HSPA+ has been enough speed for me, If HSPA+ went away i might be in trouble?

wondering if an international rom when it does come out would unlock bands (if it is software-blocked now like one of the Huawei models think it was the mediapad/honor x2 or the oppo find 5? cannot recall now

No LTE in the US with T-mobile

Anybody having a problem with getting LTE on their Oneplus 3Ts? I'm showing 4g only no matter what APN I am using. Other people have reported the same problem on AT&T. Speeds are not LTE speeds, getting around 50 mbps on my HTC m8, around 30 on the 3T.
*EDIT* So it seems to me like a problem with carrier aggregation. 4G = LTE 4G+ = LTE w/ CA. The device is constantly jumping between 4G and 4G+ every minute or so. When you go from 4G to 4G+, the speeds drop dramatically. In the screenshots from LTE discovery, you can see the right side change from GSM to LTE_CA and 4G to 4G+ respectively. The band also switches between 4 and 12. Spent an hour on Oneplus support chat doing the usual stuff, reboot, factory reset. Nothing works. This is on a completely stock 3T updated to the newest OOS 3.5.3.

Here is a speedtest on 4G and another on 4G+
Submitted Bug Report on Oneplus forum
I didn't even know its supposed to show LTE. I also only have 4g on mine. (tmobile) my speeds are horrid. Like 3mbs download max bad.
Yea this blows. Smh I thought this was an upgrade from the 3. Smh I'm getting 5mb download speed and 8mb for upload speed on 4G only. (t-mobile)
It appears we do have LTE cause in sim info it does say I am connected to band 4 LTE. I guess they changed the icons. Still doesnt explain the speed. My note 4 has like 70mbs download while my new op3t has 3mbs.
LTE is supported. i even have VoLtE on

Danm that's quick im still stuck at 1mb for dl and 3mb for upload for some reason. I hope its not a phone issues. Doesn't make sense that it would be though then it would either work or not work.
Well I'm having same speeds as my note 7

There is definitely a problem here.

Oneplus 3T Speedtest -------> http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/2412688982
Both taken within minutes of each other, tested multiple times. Same results.
No problems with lte
4g is 4g
4g+ is lte

Okay! I seem to have narrowed the problem down. Every minute or so the phone will switch from 4G to 4G+. With 4G you get full LTE speeds, but 4G+ results in speeds of ~3mbps. Looking at LTE discovery we can that the right side changes from GSM to LTE_CA when it goes from 4G to 4G+. The band is also changing from 4 to 12. Here are some [screenshots.](http://imgur.com/a/Mbn8J) This happens whether I am on VoLTE or not. I'm guessing carrier aggregation is not working properly resulting in super slow speeds when it tries to use multiple bands.
Is there something I need to enable on my t mobile account for CA?

Yes, I can confirm under SIM status, it is changing from 4G to LTE_CA when the statusbar changes from 4G to 4G+ respectively. This happens every minute or so. The problem is LTE_CA has super slow speeds ~4 Mbps.
I've never gotten 4G+ ever but it says im on band 4 LTE....

Pretty sure it's just an issue with the software as the same deal happens with the 3 on the Community Build.

No. 4G means LTE on the Community Build on the OP3 as well as the initial release on the OP3T. If it's HSPA/HSPA+ then it will display as H/H+.

Who is your cell provider? Where are you located?
Seems this has been an issue since the Op3...if it is a persistence issue that I cannot find a solution for once a receive the op3t...I may just return it....Seems people loose services and problem with typical day web browsing.
What is the point of unlimited data if I can't even use it? Lol no matter how great a phone is, without proper service...its useless.
Is this a TMobile only issue? Is it location dependent (ie, due to aggregation...may be better in other areas)?
Carrier issues.
You guys are having better luck than me so far. I'm only getting H+ on mobile data. Also, I went into the AT&T store to get the Micro SIM swapped for a nano for my new OnePlus 3T and activate the new IMEI on the 3T. When they tried to activate the IMEI of my 3T their system only recognized the device as GSM capable but not LTE so it dropped off my grandfathered unlimited data plan. About 30 mins later they got my plan put back, but it's still tied to the IMEI of my Nexus 5. So now I am working on my new OnePlus 3T with a Nexus 5 IMEI and now LTE service, only H+. Gotta love the big US carriers.

I came from the Note 4 on AT&T also, but I rather just invest in the SIM cutter. So I never have to leave my house. This is the 3rd cut I made so far w/o trouble. Since the SIM didn't change, and I didn't have to call anyone, I never have any problem.
