I recently bought a international 1020 RM(875) and its not connecting to LTE with my AT&T sim. Using the same SIM in my HTC OneX works just fine.
Any help appreciated.
AFAIK, the international edition doesn't have AT&T's LTE band that AT&T's branded 1020 does.
Always remember to check the bands before using a phone on a network it wasn't built for... there are (IIRC) at least five commonly used LTE bands, but most phones only support a few of them and most carriers only support a single one.

Has anyone tried to take a T-Mobile N1 on VZW LTE? While I'm not quite sure this is possible given that LTE runs on 700mhz which isn't supported by the N1, it does appear 3G runs on 1700mhz, which is supported. I've had it with T-Mobile in Denver and am looking at other options while I wait for the first ICS phone. Thanks!
T-mobile and Verizon use different technologies to implement cellular coverage. A T-mobile phone will not work on the Verizon network.
Has anyone tried paying full price for an HTC One at a Sprint Store and then sticking a Verizon LTE SIM in it? The specs seem to indicate that it supports LTE band 13 that Verizon uses and the 850/1900 cdma bands that is uses?

You will not get LTE on verizon with a sprint phone.
You could do an esn swap to get 3g and voice if you wanted.

If you buy a device at full price its no different than a device bought on contract. At least that's how it is in our preferred store and the same applies to corporate as far as I know. It's no like an apple store where you can request an unlocked device. You'd still have to request to have it unlocked by Sprint international. Also considering the 1900 band is the only band that crosses over between sprint and verizon I really don't see the value. Maybe it's just me in my area but roaming is even more useless than the 0.9mb/s I get on sprint.

The HTC ONE, like nearly all modern smartphones is capable of operating on multiple frequencies, network types and communications technologies. However, my assumption is that the Sprint version is carrier locked to prevent use on other networks by default. Not sure that their unlocking process would open the phone to other networks.

You wouldn't be able to straight up put in a Verizon LTE SIM and expect it to work that would be too easy.
I would guess it's possible, but you would need a donor LTE phone. Based on looking in the HTC EVO 4g LTE forums people have put that phone on another carrier and used a donor 3g phone to get 3g working. Same could most likely be possible for the HTC One. I guess if you have enough money to buy this phone outright as well as have a donor LTE phone you can probably pay someone to do this. Only limitation would be that the 16 digit password for some programs to write specific information is most likely not available yet.
I have a Lumia 1520 RM-937 and would like to enable the AWS band 4 spectrum that the RM-938 has.
If i flashed the RM-938 ROM would this enable AWS on the phone?

based on posts with the L920, reflashing it with a different variant will enable AWS on your 1520, IF you can get it to flash.

It appears as though that isn't the case with the 1520. At least in terms of the different LTE bands (I didn't try AWS).
In addition to not having AWS, the 937 rom also didn't have the required frequencies to use TELUS mobility LTE.
After flashing to 937, I was still stuck on Telus' HSDPA+ network.
Anyways, at work today I was looking through some of the perks we have and I found corporate plans with Rogers that have unlimited talk/text and 5 gigs of data. Rogers also uses the network that the 937 ROM is designed for. I swapped over to rogers, just waiting for my SIM in the mail.

cool! sorry it didn't work for you. I should have been clearer:
The phone needs to have the hardware support for the antennas as well as support in the firmware. Typically, if a phone has support for AWS LTE out of the box, you can flash it with the variant that also includes AWS HSPA+ and it will work. If the radio hardware was never put into the phone to support the frequency you want, no amount of flashing will ever get it to work.
Did you get this to work on Rogers LTE?

I have a rm-937 model but onl;y seem to get between 3g-4g-H+ never lte and in spots where I got LTE with a lumia 1020, only getting 3g on my 1520.
Any advice?
Been looking at the radio specs on this ( compared to HTC One) and it seems the GSM/UTS and LTE bands/frequency are all the same except for one of the LTE. The 800Mhz uses band 20 while the HTC One uses band 18. The 1800Mhz and 2600Mhz match.
Would this preclude it from working on Sprint?

Please see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/help/verions-p7-t2838058
It shows the different versions of the P7 for use in different countries.
I don't think it will work at all on Sprint, as Sprint is a CDMA network.
Also -- again -- My understanding -- is that the Chinese CDMA (TD-SCDMA) is an entirely and completely different thing (different frequencies, different protocols) than the US Sprint/Verizon CDMA. The P7-L00 would not have 4G at all (and spotty or no 3G) in the US.
For the P7-L10 ("International Version") it would work as follows:
It will work as a basic 2G phone on AT&T or T-Mobile in the US.
It should work on AT&T or T-Mobile 3G in some areas, but since it is only quad band - (No 850MHz band - Not penta band) it may not work in all areas.
4G LTE will not work on AT&T or T-Mobile, or on any provider I know of in the US.
AT&T uses Band 17(700Mhz), Band 5(850Mhz), Band 2(1900Mhz), Band 4(1700/2100Mhz)
T-Mobile uses (apparently) only Band 4(1700/2100Mhz)
The P7-L10 uses LTE: B1/B3/B7/B8/B20
No overlap means no 4G at all.
There is supposed to be a P7-L16 international version that may have different 3G/4G bands, but apparently it has not shipped yet, or at least I do not know where to buy one.
Note, however that it does have WiFi, so as long as you do not mind paying a premium for 4G LTE that will not work at all, you'll have plenty of data connectivity as long as you have WiFi available.
Hope that this helps. This is what I have found in my research, as I would really like to buy one of these phones, but as mentioned, I cannot see paying the price these phones sell for, and then have no 4G at all.
Those in the know, or who have one in the US, please comment/correct.
Based on the specifications, it has GSM bands used by both, however SM-N920R4 is US Cellular CDMA...

Just from looking at the specs for this specific device it appears that it will work on all of T-Mobile's LTE bands but it is missing LTE band 17 support for AT&T. The 2G and 3G bands will work just fine as they match the specs for the N920T/N920A from both carriers. The only thing I am not certain of at this time is if you will have to have the device unlocked to be used with another carrier. Were you using this device on US Cellular or did you just pick this device up recently and want to use it with AT&T or TMO?
Ok thanks, the deal never went through
