There are several threads about this.
You need to manually configure your APN settings, and change the network mode.
Here are two threads for you to look at..

[Q] Motorola Atrix HD on AIO Wireless

I signed up for AIO Wireless on Friday (Aug 16) here in Houston. Just for that day, I got LTE reception from AIO.
Starting Aug 17 (next day), I am not getting any LTE reception. When I go to Network app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mangelow.network), it displays that I am on WCDMA band. Interesting thing is that I can not change that band.
When I was on AT&T, I was able to move from WCDMA to LTE/GSM/WCDMA and vice versa.
My question is - if there is anyone who is not getting LTE on AIO in Houston/Miami?
Also - any help on getting my phone provisioned to LTE would be great !
You can't change it in your phones network settings or the secret phone menu?

I am on stock AT&T rom (with root and unlocked b/l). I tried *#*#4636#*#* but it is not working from phone app.
There is no other setting to choose band or carrier in settings.
Is there an alternate way to execute secret command?
It sounds like a bad sim card. Also, download an app called lte on/off for thunderbolt. It will take you to the secret settings menu that AT&T blocks access to from the dialpad. It works on phones other than the thunderbolt.

Hmm...but my phone and data (HSDA and HSDA+) are working...
Hmm. Try the phone settings trick from my other comment. It's also possible they are just doing network updates or something.

I tried that without luck..Network app that I used is same as that...may be that's the secret menu that AT&T blocks...which is accessible from Network or LTE ON/OFF app...
Get pimp my rom and under tools there is access hidden menu which will get you there also. You don't have the network mode option under mobile networks?

It should take you to a testing menu the first of which is phone information. It is the same as you get by dialing *#*#info#*#* if you can get to that menu and it won't let you switch to LTE/GSM/WCDMA, then it probably is a sim issue.

All is well...phone got automatically re-provisioned and now can log on to LTE when available.
One thing to note though, LTE speeds are capped at 6-7 mb!
Thanks anyone who responded.

Did you insert a T-Mobile or AT&T SIM? You need a SIM card for the carrier you want.

yes i currently have a Aio Wireless sim in the phone (with is a At&t Mvno) but no luck i also have a active tmobile line and no signal in either sim cards both are currently connected still no signal. i did change the nv items with radiocomm but just no luck i believe it is because of my bionic being hardware c not A

I am not that familiar with the bionic on gsm carriers but did you go into Phone Info in the test menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and enable Global or GSM/WCDMA modes? Have to do that many phones that are not officially Global phones.

yes i did try that but after switching to wcdma or gsm it force closes and kicks me out of that menu. i dont know if its my phone being hardware c or something else.
can anybody else confirm they have a droid bionic running 4.1.2 on tmobile or at&t?

my eyes are deceiving me.

You may activated your net10 sim card after Tracfone/Straighttalk/Net10 have included LTE service to the plans. New activations got the LTE provisioned, unlike me.

I've had my sim card since like the summer, a month or 2 before they removed the ATT 1.5gb data cap. Been having 3g until this morning

I've seen another thread saying straight talk got LTE so maybe that's why.

Yeah, I swapped the SIMs for that very reason. They've got it advertised on their site now. My old SIMs also used the old wap.tracfone APN, so now I've got stable MMS.

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.

Well, first, I would suspect a sim problem. You don't even need an APN for calls and text to work - they work immediately if your sim is valid, recognized, and activated.
APNs are only required to get data working.
You should check that your sim is inserted correctly and look in settings > about phone > status. Make sure your sim ID is listed under ICCID. If it isn't, your sim isn't being recognized. Aside from that, contact your carrier and make sure your account is active and the appropriate sim is on your account.
EDIT: Also, remember that all AT&T Moto X variants are SIM-LOCKED. You cannot use a non-AT&T sim in them without unlocking them first!
If you haven't unlocked the phone, it will never work on T-Mobile. You can purchase an unlock code from one of the many online gsm-unlock code sellers.
I don't get that option

All AT&T Moto X's should have ICCID listed in Settings > About Phone > Status
It's near the bottom.
Anyways, did you read the bottom edit to my post? Your problem is almost definitely that your phone is SIM-LOCKED to AT&T. All AT&T Moto X's come sim-locked. You can't use them on another carrier until you unlock them.....
I was told by a retail store it was unlocked

Sorry bud, If you are sure your phone is unlocked, and you don't get prompted for an unlock code in the UICC unlock menu, all I can suggest is to contact your carrier. I don't have any more ideas for you. Maybe another member will.
