I have an international version HTC One M7. The LTE works fine in my resident country (Bahrain). I'm back home in the US for the summer and am using T-Mobile. Here's my problem:
I never get LTE. Ever. I've called T-Mobile to troubleshoot to no avail. Now I've done some research online and I believe the problem lies with the radio, as if the international version doesn't support T-Mobiles LTE radio frequency, which is AWS. I'm not quite sure though. Would anyone happen to know what the problem is, and if there's anyway to fix it? Thanks a lot!

Is it true that the HTC TyTN II will not work on the T-mobile's (US) 3g network once they launch it (supposedly sometime in the near future)?
I read this in a review but it seems strange that it would work on every other 3g in US and abroad except for T-mobile US.
If it is true, is this something that can be corrected with a rom swap or is it a hardware issue?
I typically don't like T-mobiles roms and would much rather have the HTC rom. Additionally, I don't want to wait for T-mobile US to release their variant.
Please say it isn't so.

This is correct. In the US, the phone's 3g will only work on AT&T's network. It is a hardware issue. Just like the different GSM bands.
I know it sucks, i just switched to att for this phone.
So, I guess the only choice is to either switch to AT&T now or wait for the T-mobile variant and then replace the rom with the HTC rom.
BTW: How is the AT&T rom (if anyone is using it). From the images I've seen, it looks much different. Looks like it doesn't have the HTC Home interface.
Is anyone working on getting the Tmobile HSPA+ 3G spectrum up and running on the international/ At&T / Developer Edition of the HTC One?
Out of the box the unlocked versions only support Tmobile 2g Edge speeds and the newly refarmed 4g LTE on the 1900 spectrum.
The carrier branded phones are almost $150 more than the unlocked versions and the hardware is "technically" there for all of the frequencies. What are the chances that we will have a solution, similiar to the below, found on the ATT Galaxy Note 2? I'd be willing to donate for a workaround.

At a minimum you'd need s-off to flash a different radio. Until you (we) have a working method to get s-off there is zero chance of this happening.

Im having same issues here I have 64GB Developer Edition and I'm stuck on TMobile Edge. I though this was Quad Radio

This was a concern of mine as I'm off contract with ATT already and may jump ship. If you look deeper than the word "quad" and actually look at the bands supported vs what the carriers use vs network coverage, you would have found out that
A) Tmo "3G/4G" runs on AWS (700/2100) (really should be called HSPA+42)
B)Tmo have refarmed a some bands to support "3G" on 1900 (HSPA+21)
C)Tmo LTE is not everywhere
which means... if you are not in a refarmed area (which again is not everywhere) you will be either on LTE or Edge.
So.... refer to the top link for hope. Which is S-off and a flash of the radios (the chip itself should have all the bands).
ehh its late... I basically repeated what the OP said.
I was under the impression that an s-on radio flash solution had been posted already.

Its true, However I was told we need the T-mobile radio to use his method which makes perfect sense. So, I just got my t-mobile htc one today and id like to learn how to get my radios off my phone to share it with you guys.
Can anyone please show me step by step on how to get the radios off my phone? Will post here ASAP then you guys can test it.
Thanks

Lol pretty sure step two of that guide tells you how to pull the radios for backup and / or sharing. (o;
Thank me later.
Has anyone figured this out yet using the QPST method in the Qualcomm software like we do with Samsung?
I was wondering if we can flash the T-mobile radio on a Rogers LTE enabled HTC ONE to make it workable for Mobilicity or Wind as they are AWS frequency carriers like T-mobile.
Will this work.
Im going to buy one, but it is really hard to find a T-mobile HTC one here.

Theoretically it's possible, but it hasn't happened till now. I'm eagerly waiting for this too! Guys here at XDA are trying hard to make it work (Basically they're trying to get an Internatioanal/AT&T version work with T-Mobile AWS). I'm optimistic, but not holding breath though.
yaaa
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315880&page=25I'm waiting as well..I hope they can pull it off.
Haven't seen much progress lately although
Hello everyone,
I want to to know exactly how I can implement this to my HTC one however what I've been told is that what ever Sprint devices they have sold will not able to work on this new upgrade.
I've been chatting back and fourth with an employee and he says it's a gsm based 4g LTE that's works on hspa or something that uses 1900mhz bandwidth. With that said will I be able to go ahead and convert to what my carrier uses?
Another note, I've successfully SIM unlocked but haven't had a SIM to try it out if it is unlocked, in doing the unlock will I be able to utilize this update to my carriers data speeds? All the employee said as of right now Sprint branded devices are not able to be used with the upgraded network and it uses a gsm based 4g that uses 1900mhz bands. Quite a few people are pissed about this but their normal users and do not know about root and everything associated with it, to include SIM unlocking.
Another thing the employee mentioned was they are now selling HTC one m7 and m8 that are able to utilize the network, he says they are "generic" and Verizon, what I'm thinking that they are just global versions of the device, so who ever got Sprint branded phones are screwed cause they can't upgrade to the new network.
I am hoping I can use this new found boost in data speeds locally!!

County? City? State? You provided no information here. Also from the sounds of it NO you can not convert your phone. The bands 4G uses are limited by the hardware in them, if you bought a SPRINT CDMA phone in a foreign county no one screwed anyone except you screwing yourself. You should have bought the global version directly from HTC.

Thanks.
I'm not in the states I'm located in Guam, I'm aware of the hardware limitations, but I'm wondering if the device will be able to pick up signal. I believe my carrier will be using hsdpa bands at 1900mhz and I'm under the impression that the Sprint use those
I am screwed as well as others that have gotten Sprint branded devices here, I feel for them but those people are normal users, that don't know rooting and what associated with it. I don't feel too bad about having this device at all, it's been working great, I was just waiting for my carrier to bring out something 3G data.
I was really banking on having it be able to get the upgraded speeds, and maybe help others who are on the same boat as me.
Thanks again!
Hi, I'm using my nexus 6 which I bought in Asia (as far as I know, there's is no different variant that supports different bands when it comes to the nexus 6) in America with T-Mobile as my provider. I'm getting good signals, however I have never gotten LTE. I thought it was my APN problem, so I changed my APN according to T-Mo's website but still nothing. I then wiped my phone, flashed a new rom and flashed two different radios with clean wipes in between (MDM9625_104651.11.05.17R and MDM9625_104649.09.05.14R), nothing. I then changed my sim with my brothers sim which is getting LTE on the Nexus 5 (we live in the same apartment and run the same data plan), still the same.
Under phone testing, (*#*#4636*#*#), it shows I have HSPAP, but when I change to LTE Only, I get no service AT ALL. It turns into only emergency calls.
Does anyone know what I can do to diagnose or check?
Any answer is appreciated. Thank you!

sure.. which version of n6 do you have? sounds like you have the international version, which isnt made for the US, nor does it do american lte bands.
