[Q] No data roaming? - Sprint HTC One (M8)

Good day!
I currently work in the "hollers" of WV, where, on my HTC EVO 4G LTE I had data roaming and could even tether at times when needed for my laptop. However, since getting my HTC One M8, I have never seen or had data roaming. Within network settings, I have:
Network mode = LTE/CDMA
Roaming = automatic
Domestic voice = checked
Domestic data = checked
I have roaming voice, but no data at all.
I called Sprint and the particular individual I spoke with was like, "That sucks, your old phone works because its a different version of Android and there is nothing you can do".
They were not helpful.
Am I missing a setting? For what reason would my EVO LTE work on data roaming but the M8 won't?
EDIT:
Solved.

I had all sorts of issues with Roaming on my first phone.
I think that's where my problems started.
Extremely frustrating issue.
New phone roams normally.
Are your roaming guard options greyed out.
You could try ##786# if all else fails (which wipes evetything and triggers reactivation)
Then immediately turn off roaming guards and enable roaming.
I'd be curious if your phone runs in CDMA only.
mine would run fine on LTE but no roaming. And would not run on most CDMA only towers
My gut feeling is that there is an Antenna issue in the phone that causes some bands to malfunction.

I have no LTE in my area.
I am not sure what the problem is, but I am going to have to bite the bullet that I don't have data roaming in the area I am in for work.
Perhaps in others areas I will. I have not yet seen it in data roaming, but i Haven't traveled much since getting the phone.

Sounds like you might have got one of the bad first batch phones. I would return it. My phone roams just fine.

But I'm rooted. So much work to unroot and lock AND set up a new phone ;-;

You can hide it fairly easy without removing it. I feel your pain.
Flash the HBOOT that that masks everything out.
NAND Backup. Install a Stockish ROM and Factory Reset it.
And put on a Stock Recovery.
They will likely want to factory reset it.
To be extra cautious I changed my CID to SPC_004 (Harman). I have had technicians run an RUU to fully reset the phone.
If they do have an RUU it will fail and technician will just scratch his head. Their RUU will surely be for SPC_001 (if they have one).
These days I think in store service has really been dumbed down. All they do is reset your phone. They don't "diagnose" anything.
When you get back home all have to do is reinstall recovery and NAND restore.
Oh, you might want to remove your SD Card with TWRP backups and Custom ROMs when you bring it in

SOLUTION
The solution is to unlock the option for GSM data...

I noticed that you can also change Network Mode from LTE/CDMA to Automatic. When on Automatic you can then select the Allow GSM data option. Could you try that and let me know if Automatic and those options allow your phone to roam with data while in WV? WV is my home state, which I get back to every once in a while.

Yes, that is the whole point of the article. It does exactly that. Allows you to have data roaming on GSM, whereas it is not turned on by default. Those tricksters.

I had this initially, but after activating the phone and updating the Data Profile, PRL Update, etc, and a reboot, it put all those settings back in there like the screenshot from Pocketables.

That's sad to know, there should be a solution here, did you try anything after that? installing custom roms, upgrading or anything?

Service at my home location was horrible (virtually no data nor voice) so I didn't want to do too much to the phone. It did do a ROM update immediately after I obtained the phone prior to going home. Sprints towers in my area just aren't ready for the technology.

Are the options there but greyed out or are they missing all together? If they are just greyed out you need to change the Network mode. Different modes have different options.

Anyone else in Phoenix? What kind of speed are you getting and where?
I'm in Phoenix, I'm not getting LTE, Im still on 4.2.1- However, I can pick up LTE but no data connection. I noticed last night when I switch over to 'LTE only' i had a few bars, no label next to it tho (as yours reads 4G, mine was blank). Not sure what I need to do...
Did you change the APN to fast.t-mobile.com?
Do I need to edit my APN settings?

I am having the same problem. I changed my APN to fast and everything, I am running PAC's new ROM, with .33 radio. Even though the ROM is 4.2.2 it's allowing me to access all the settings to change everything and all but I only get grey lte bars like the other users, no actual data. What am I doing wrong. Can someone give me a step by step link to get it working, I can change roms and factory reset if need be.
Are you receiving a 4g indicator next to your signal icon? What area of Phx are you in?

Not sure if it will work for you but if you hit the menu button (top right) and reset to defaults you should have exactly what I do for T-Mobile US, minus changing IPv4/IPv6 and APN to fast.t-mobile.com. That's all I did.

No the APN should stick, having LTE enabled will not though. If you're running CM10.1 see this post.

is there a way to change the settings PREFERRED NETWORK TYPE as in the secret menu on the dialer typing the code * # * # 4636 # * # * , and it's worth even after restarting the device?
I'll explain in the settings Motorola I only have 3 entries 4G (recommended), 3G and 2G

WCMA preferred
Can you try to download app from playstore, search for:
LTE OnOff
there in settingss u can put GSM only or (w)cdma only
Use an app like Radio Switcher
I had a similar situation with 3G being dropped and phone switching to 2G seemingly at the slightest hint of a weak 3G signal. The code mentioned above does not seem to work on Moto X (at least for me) but there are apps that will let you access the Phone Info menu regardless (no root). There you can set it to WCDMA ONLY.

You're right, you did say that. In my reply when I said "you" I meant and should have said "I" or "in my case", because for me it does stick. So the question is why does it stick in my case and not in yours. I have the T-Mobile xt1053 variant, and while the network might be the culprit I doubt it because it's the phone that requests the network type it wants to use, and the network should just respond yes or no, not force the phone to switch its settings. So my guess is a quirk in the phone.
I attempted to replicate your situation by doing multiple trials. First I set the phone setting to 2G only then used Radio Switcher (RS) to get into phone info and set it to "WCDMA only". With data on I rebooted the phone. And yes the data reverted to 2G! I did this three more times just to be sure and it reverted every time. Then I set the phone setting to "Automatic" (my phone setting only shows Automatic and 2G only) and pressing back the "Phone network type" showed "4G preferred (recommended)". I used RS to see the phone info and it was set at "LTE/GSM auto (PRL)", which I switched to " WCDMA only". Did the reboot test twice and both times phone info reverted to "LTE/GSM auto (PRL)".
But I already knew my phone could stick to WCDMA only so I didn't give up. I thought maybe the phone was not really registering my selection since I had been leaving data connected throughout these trials, meaning it was remembering the last thing which was set when data was turned on. So this time after setting to "WCDMA only" I turned data off then on again. Went back to RS and phone info to make sure it was still at "WCDMA only" then rebooted. And voila it stuck this time, phone info was "WCDMA only" and in the phone settings neither "Automatic" nor "2G only" were selected, both were empty.
So try that. And if that doesn't work... well good luck.
i'll try soon as possible

[Q] flash LYZ28E on Verizon N6?

I am using Verizon N6 on Tmobile and was wondering if I can flash the TMo ( LYZ28E ) on my phone to get wifi calling on Tmo.
Can somebody please confirm?
Update: I was able to flash LYZ288 TMo build on my Verizon N6 using nexus tool kit without any errors.
I can see Wifi calling option in the settings options now and I need to figure out how to test wifi calling actually works on the phone. Any suggestions?
the WiFi calling will only work if your provider provides support for WiFi calling, and Verizon does not. only tmobile will provide support for WiFi calling, and the fi network.
Provider of the phone or provider of the Sim? I'm using T-Mobile sim

If its saying wifi calling in your notification menu then it should be working. All nexus 6 no matter where you got it are the same. As long as your on T-Mobile then thats all that matters

Funny T-Mobile tech support won't even answer any of my questions because I brought the Nexus 6 over from Verizon. I can't get Wifi Calling working even though I am on the latest TMobile OTA. They claim they cannot provide support to devices not bought from T-Mobile. I'm currently stuck digging through XDA for a solution to my problem.

XT1254 prefered LTE band, "LTE only" radio mode

When I set radio modem in LTE/GSM(auto) mode all is ok - phone registered and works in LTE network, but when I set to "LTE only" mode, phone goes to enternal network search and found nothing (no network registered).
I think it's because in "LTE only" mode phones set to only Verizon LTE band 13, not global LTE.
How I can make phone works in mode "LTE only"?
If I need to change this "prefered" Verizon LTE band, how can I do this?
I use Verizon XT1254 bootloader unlocked + SU4TL-49 (5.1) stock in LTE band 3 (1800).

Not wise to go LTE only.
If you go LTE only, what happens when there's no LTE?
Like when there's only 3G coverage?
Or want to make a phone call? (Phone needs to drop down to 3G coverage, since you are not using Verizon and would not have access to Verizon's VoLTE. I'm in the U.S. on AT&T and drop down to HSPA temporarily for phone calls on my Quark, since I don't have access to AT&T's VoLTE.)
I would never go to LTE only as that would ensure my phone could not make phone calls (on the carrier I use) or even have data at all times (in poor LTE coverage areas).

I don't see that you have a problem. You said it works fine in LTE/GSM auto mode and you get LTE fine in that mode.

For some reason you want to cripple your phone in "LTE only" mode so you can't make/receive any phone calls (mobile voice calls don't work on regular LTE, only on 3G bands) -- and you wouldn't have the option of dropping down to 3G even for data in poor LTE areas.
So, what problem do you have except for the one you're trying to create?

I want to use "LTE only" mode when I share internet connection to my laptop, because my network carrier provide unlimited free LTE traffic, but limited 3G traffic.
I also use Huawei E3372h (USB-modem) in "LTE only" mode and it works OK, so why XT1254 can't work the same way.
In "LTE/GSM(auto)" mode XT1254 sometimes break LTE connection (about 2 hours continuous data stream) and switch to 3G, so I want to use LTE on force mode, as I use Huawei F3372h now.

Your Huawei E3372h (USB-modem) works in "LTE only" mode for extended periods of time in the exact same locations as your phone? Is it the same carrier or a different carrier?
Because in LTE/GSM (auto) mode on your phone, you should get LTE if LTE is available. You will get lower (3G/2G) either when LTE is not available or IF your carrier is kicking you off for some reason (congestion or maybe some kind of time/data limit). In those instances that you are NOT getting LTE now on your phone, I don't think you would get LTE by being in an LTE-only mode. I think instead you would get just no data, since the phone would not be able to downgrade to 3G/2G.
I may be wrong, but that's my theory. However, if your Huawei E3372h (USB-modem) works in "LTE only" mode for extended periods of time in the exact same locations with the same carrier , then I don't know.
There is one thing you can try...
I'm that same menu, press the three dots on the top right>select umts bands>usa only.
For me personally, this limited me to lte, and i had to reflash everything to fix it. I think 950mhz (to name one) was still working so this may not even make a difference to you

Yes, same location, same network carrier and even same phone number (2 sim-cards for same number).

Thanks, but this not work for me.
I found solution:
"LTE only" mode works only with radio MDM9625_104651.11.05.17R from VRZ_XT1254_5.1.1_LCF23.80_CFC_SVC / quark_verizon-user_LCF23.80_release-keys_firmware_upgrade_SVC firmware.

Interesting. So every update since that July 2015 XT1254 firmware upgrade breaks that mode on the XT1254? That firmware folder is not complete, by the way. Doesn't even have SUTL-49. But I assume you are probably on SUTL-49 already?
The dates in that folder are only upload dates, not release dates. The upload dates are up to a year off from actual release dates. And they also have XT1225 firmware in the "XT1254" folder, for some strange reason.
And I know it's from July 2015 because of this post:

I tried SUTL-44, SUTL-49 and
VRZ_XT1254_KDF21.128-15_15_CFC_SVC, nothing of these works with ""LTE only" mode. Then I asked on 4pda forum and user sl2208 tells me, that he tried all firmwares from this folder and only with LCF23.80 "LTE only" mode works.
this might be out of topic but kind a related ...
I'm using 1254 with 1225 stock India 6.0.1 ... I'm able to set LTE only and data working just fine (I'm using GSM Provider) so I dont consider this is some kind of problem before.
the problem for me is ... the default value is "LTE/GSM" ... and when there's call in ... it's drop to "E" not to any 3G network [H+/H/3G or umts]
is there any option to set it to "LTE/WCDMA/GSM" (might be from build.prop or else ... since there's no option like that in *#*#4636#*#* ...

There are two ways......
1... If your boot loader is locked you have to wait you might get official Verizon/Motorola version probably later this or at the next month...
2....If you are unlocked (boot loader )you can unlock the Boot loader and flash the 6.1 version.

Be better to unlock the bootloader and wait for people to upload copies to manually flash with unlocked bootloader.
If your bootloader is locked you will get the OTA, but your bootloader may remain locked down forever after that. Sunshine can't promise an exploit.
With unlocked bootloader you can have the official Verizon Marshmallow firmware AND do other stuff -- like root, install xposed, etc.

4G Data but no voLTE calls defaults 3g

Hello all,
Recently purchased this phone.
As stated in the title I get 4g but when making or receiving a call default to 3g. Immediately back to 4g as soon as call over.
I disabled region check and Enhanced 4G LTE Mode toggle appeared in Mobile Network Settings. I enabled and restarted.
Also went into phone info using *#*#4636#*#* and all flags for voLTE are on there as well.
Carrier: Consumer Cellular (T mobile sim)
Bands 2 and 4
Does anyone know how to resolve ?
"#"#86583#*#*
Have you enabled volte with your carrier?

Maybe this can help you:
Download and install 4G Only Network Mode from Google Play Store.
Modify advanced network convigoration by opening the secret settings:
Click on Open Secret Settings
Under Set Preffered Network Type, choose LTE ONLY
This will automatically force your phone to exclusively connect to the 4G LTE only network.

I called them, they did something on their end so now calls start in 3g but go the 'H" after a few seconds.
Probably still not volte but an improvement.
My understanding is that volte calls have an "HD" for this phone

volte carrier check needs to be "disabled" btw
try switching to airplane mode and back. also make sure you have your sim in sim1!
what country/carrier are you on?

Yes, you're right. When volte is enabled you should see an HD icon next to your signal strength icon. Just like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After your carrier enables volte you should reboot if you haven't already. Volte is used only with 4G, so after the reboot you should get the HD icon when you're connected on 4G. To test it out (or if you are still on 3G/H) do the following:
Press *#*#86583#*#* on dialer until carrier check is disabled. If it says enabled, just type it in again.
Then press *#*#4636#*#* on dialer to start the hidden menu. Go to the first tab, I believe it's called phone information, and scroll down where its says preferred network type. Note down the default value (it should restore on reboot and flight mode, but just in case) and select LTE (or 4G if it's called that) only. You will lose signal for a moment, and then you should be back running in 4G. Obviously, you need to be on a location with good 4G coverage.
Then, just make a call. If it gets through without dropping the data connection (4G symbol stays on), you're on volte. Go back to *#*#4636#*#* to restore your preferred network type, and enjoy
I tried everything posted so far but no luck.
I have a nexus 5x on with an identical sim on the same network/towers that shows me lte over the bars.
This phone only shows me 4G ..... is the phone capable of displaying lte ?
When selecting preferred network type lte only. It will drop the call.
LTE is 4G. Each phone uses different symbols, but it's the same. The fact that it drops the call probably means that volte is not enabled... weird. Have you contacted your carrier about it?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/guide-volte-t-mobile-yes-actually-t3869677
I just figured it out. Just follow the guide.
Thanks for the post Daha3ker ..... I will see if anyone else tries it before giving it a go.
I am quite sure at this point its a network issue as it is also happening on my Nexus 5x (LTE then H during call)
Confirmed it is a network issue. They are sending me ATT sims to try.
The tech support wasn't the brightest bulb, she kept trying to convince me I need to be on wifi to place an LTE call.
After some passive aggressive attempts to convince me she finally told me T-mobile does not support volte with them.
VoLTE depends of the carrier, it has to be enabled on his network equipments.
Some carriers enable it per phone line (they have to enable it for your line)
Moreover, some carriers restrict VoLTE for specific devices. Here in France, Orange enable VoLTE only for Apple and Samsung devices...

What if you just use a Samsung or Apple device to enable it?
Here in Greece, Cosmote also enables VoLTE only for specific devices, Samsung, Apple and Huawei. The Mi A2 isn't one of them. But I managed to... side-enable it. I just inserted my sim card in a Huawei device and sent the text to enable it. They enabled it in my sim, and of course it still works after I moved the sim back to the A2

Orange say that it is available and automatically enabled on Apple devices, and on Samsung devices which were purchased in Orange stores. So I think there is something special in phone rom.
Problem resolved. Was a carrier issue.
Required an ATT sim and add a new Access Point
* Note if using Consumer Cellular you will need the ATT sim for Volte.
Tmobile does not support Volte on CC as relayed by tech.
Thanks to all who posted.
