Have had LTE in our area for years just noticed the other day both Moto X phone connecting on 4G?
Only setting I find is Auto and or 2 G
Under settings, Data, other, mobile network, preferred network type.
I'm I missing some other setting or trick ?

Change back LTE to unspecified. Make sure you have the LTE APN and the dot beside it is highlighted.

If my memory serves 4.2.2 only showed 4G. 4.4+shows 4G with a small LTE above it. Ignore my screenshots cause my signal bars are modded. Here's what your APN settings should look like...
I can't attach screenshots for some reason...
I'll try and upload them when I get to a PC
Or I could just clear data on the XDA app and post them now.

For me I get the 4G LTE icon on 4.4.3 T-Mobile OTA. I only saw the LTE icon alone on stock Rogers 4.4.2.

Guys it's requirement from carrier to show 3G HSPA+ as 4G you can download LTE on off app from play store and try setting LTE only to check whether you are getting LTE signal it should show 4G LTE icon

On your screenshot #3, I have edited the APN type and added ,dun at the end. It is supposed to make mms more reliable. I got that from this or another forum which I can't find now.

Did your phone update overnight? If you're stock you might have gotten 4.4.3
Upgrade was done Sunday it was doing this prior to 4.4.3

I have a vivid that I've been through hard times with. Went crazy for ics and bricked it for half a month. Then switched to iPhone.. now back to vivid with ics but no LTE. Originally the problem was that I had iPhone imei on the account but not anymore. Just doesn't work unless I use alternate apn settings. Any ideas?

It is likely that you will have to manually setup the AT&T PTA apn (assuming you are with att as you mentioned Vivid and not Raider). The apn is usually the cause for the problem that you mentioned. Do a search in the forum and it will give you the apn settings that you need.
So I did add the PTA and LTE apps. I'm on stock Rom, ics, AT&T. And no LTE. Still. All I can use is hspa+ .
I'm kind of surprised nobody else has this problem. Stock Rom seems full of bugs to me.
I had this problem before. All I did was set up the at&t apn. Applied then turned on airplane mode then wait a little, turn it off. That didnt work the first time so I restarted. Are you in a LTE area?

I actually just bought my Vivid as well from eBay (supposedly new) and it came preloaded with ICS. I wasn't able to get any kind of internet connection with my old Atrix sim even though it showed 4G in the notification bar.
I went to an at&t store and they gave me a new sim and now the internet works but i'm definitely not getting the 4g lte icon or speeds of that nature via speedtest app.
I've tried both airplane mode and pulling the battery, with no results. I'm thinking of doing a hard reset now. *sigh*

I'm in San Francisco by the way. What's funny is that when i looked at the demo phone inside the at&t store, the icon for LTE wasn't on that screen either. That phone was running ICS as well.

Mine came with ICS & showed 4g lte when it is in range. you do need to have an LTE data plan for the apn to work to connect you up with LTE. I figured that one out the hard way. Call them up or browse online for the LTE dataplan of your liking.

I'm also in the bay area as well, within 2 miles of a LTE signal tower. Did you get a new SIM card when you got your Vivid? Because when I went to an AT&T store to upgrade my phone to Vivid, they had to give me a new SIM, because it was running LTE and that would not work if you have an older SIM, which at the time I had. So make sure you asked them for a new SIM card!
Never mind, just re-read the above post, you got a new SIM card. Sometimes it would happen for any kind of reason, I would just walk back into the AT&T store and ask for a new SIM or new Vivid

Yes, make sure you do have LTE specific data plan, as older data plans while work, will not allow you to connect to LTE data.
Make sure they gave you an LTE sim and that switch over the IMEI because my brothers had the same issue
My girlfriend and I picked up two Moto-Xs during the sale. I'm using Dev edition on Straight Talk AT&T. She's using the T-Mobile version on T-Mobile. Neither of us is getting LTE. I've been trying the Moto vs the Nexus-5 side by side thinking I'd sell one. The Nexus-5 picks up LTE just fine where the Moto is on HSPA+. I called Straight Talk and they weren't helpful. After reading this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2569939 I expect that AT&T isn't recognizing the Dev edition as an LTE capable device. It's too bad because I really like the design of the Moto-X. Sure big screen on the Nexus-5 is an advantage, but the design, active notifications, and touchless controls on the Moto-X are very nice. I called Motorola and they will RMA the device for a refund.
When my girlfriend activated her Moto-X at T-Mobile the rep told her that she would not get high speed data (LTE) because she didn't buy the device from T-Mobile. Could this really be true? We don't have LTE at home, but she works in an area with LTE coverage. SHe said that she hasn't seen an LTE indicator on the phone.
The Moto-X is a very nice device. It's too bad that Motorola doesn't have clean carrier support for the T-Mobile/Dev Editions. The Nexus-5 works fine, and given that it covers many more LTE bands I'm confident it can be used on LTE networks going forward.
It's impossible to buy the device from Tmobile so that associate was full of it. Perhaps she hadn't noticed the lte icon, it's very small.
I don't quite know what to make of those signal numbers, but according to sensorly I reside in a fairly weak LTE area so these pics might be a guide, FWIW.
Sent from my XT1053 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for posting that screenshot. I suspect that she just hasn't noticed the indicator. I will check her phone when we are in an area with LTE coverage. I'm sure I'm not picking up LTE because I tested the download speed and checked the signal status. I am disappointed that Dev edition doesn't play nice with AT&T LTE.

I had the same issue and was frustrated. I can tell you, the post mentioned right above is true. I called ATT and Motorola neither could help me. The xda member untyped was the one who told me the issue was the way the phone is being registered to the network. ATT only seen the Moto X as a gsm device, due in part probably to the way Motorola has it listed internally or something, God knows. But he gave me an ATT Moto X imei and was able to register the device as lte. If it wasn't for that I would still be hspa+. Not sure if it's ATT with the corporate bs or Motorola not doing it right but that seems to be the issue.

T-mobile sells the Moto X on their Web site and in their stores. However, it's $100 more expensive from T-Mo, apparently due to Google subsidizing purchases directly from the Play Store.
Are we talking moto x or nexus 5? I guess something might have changed overnight.

No issues with LTE on my GFs xt1053 with Straight Talk. I had trouble getting LTE working my Dev Edition with AT&T, but after switching the Network Mode to LTE with Gravity Box it has worked great.
Do you have one of the new ST LTE sim cards? They only started selling them a few months ago. If you do, are you in one of the rare areas where AT&T uses Band 5? The xt1053 does not support LTE on 850mhz.
Problem Solved
After reading that others are getting LTE on AT&T with the TMo and Dev Ed versions I rechecked my settings and somehow Settings->Wireless& Networks>More->Mobile Networks>Network Mode was unset. There is a radio button with two options: Automatic, and 2G. Neither setting was selected. I selected Automatic and voila, LTE now works. Just for kicks I reset the phone to see what happens. When I check the setting Automatic is selected, but if I hit cancel, it deselects and then nothing is selected. This appears to be a software bug.
If you're having issues getting LTE check your NETWORK MODE settings and make sure it's set to Automatic.
Settings->Wireless& Networks>More->Mobile Networks>Network Mode: AUTOMATIC
Sorry all, I was mistaken. I was thinking Nexus 5. Moto X is clearly not available directly from T-mobile.

This would explain why I was able to get it working on my Dev Edition with Gravity Box, as it changes this same setting with the additional option of 3g only and 3g/LTE.
My phone and service is through vzw, but I live in an area not serviced by them - its carolina west wireless.
Prior two two weeks ago, my phone (and all other vzw phones here) went through cww on extended roaming with really REALLY crappy 3g speeds. Then suddenly, the 4g indicator was lit one morning. I checked with other vzw users in the area theirs was suddenly working as well. CWW customers however dont see, to have 4g still.
I know cww contracted with vzw to build their 4g infrastructure, but last estimate is that it is still a year away from being turned up.
Any chance my 4g is now roaming on att, sprint, or someone else? How do i see who owns the tower im hitting?
Btw, my zip is 28659...

Do I have to keep my connection on global if I get to an area that my LTE drops off to get 3g? I had it set to LTE but got the roaming so I put it on global got 3g then got LTE when I got service back. Is this the normal process? I just got nexus 6 and wasn't sure if this is normal. Running cm12

Set it to Global if your outside of US territory LTE (Recommended) if you're within the US. Always remember to enable Airplane mode or Reboot when making the changes as a precaution.

Global and LTE are exactly the same if you are using a Verizon sim card. Global just allows you to use a GSM sim (typically for overseas travel).
Ok so I noticed if it drops I don't get 3g so is their a way to get 3g. My situation is when I put my phone in my locker it loses 4g and would default to 3g now I just get a ! On the network signal. So did I lose ability to get on 3g. I think I read on here that can happen
Yes surely lost 3g cause if I switch to 3g it gives me the !. So how do I restore 3g

My roaming is off and mine will go between 3G and LTE with no problems. It does that a couple times a day at my work.
I found that on stock ROM it switched 4g to 3g fine. On aosp Roms I need to have roaming data enabled to get 3g and it says I'm on network 0000000.

Yes am on vzw can get 3g without enabling roaming on stock rom, on custom roms at least the ones I've tried roaming needs to be enabled to have phone switch between 4g and 3g. N6 has only two variants us and the rest of the world. The us version has a cdma radio don't know about the other. Also on verizon there is no voice and data at the same time... yet may have it in the future.

This phone isnt compatible with Verizon's 4G LTE. it does not possess the necessary band to achieve this.
You can set the phone to LTE only and get 4g data but no calls or text. Or you can go the regular way and have 3g data calls and text. Sadly not both
