AT&T reports my Nexus 5 as "LG 821"

I thought this was kind of interesting...
I bought my Nexus 5 from Tmobile (north america), found out that I have very little (read: zero) coverage between my home and work, so I had to cancel. I went ahead and paid off the N5 and switched to AT&T.
Oddly enough, the myAT&T screen shows me as having a LG 821, which, I believe, is the international version!
I found that concerning as I thought Tmobile might have worked better for me if I had the correct phone... but my bootloader shows D820.
Anyone else have the same quark on their myAT&T page?

Funny - never noticed this before either, but AT&T reports mine as the 821 also.
I have the 820 model.

My wife and I both have Nexus 5's on at&t. I bought her's from google and mine from tmobile. Ours both show 821 too, but they are 820's. If they were 821's, you would have no LTE. Im in atlanta with lte everywhere.

LG 821 too, bought it from the Google store. I can use the wap.cingular apn only. No LTE for me.

LG821 here as well. I have LTE using attphone APN. I had a Galaxy S4 (LTE) before it, just kept that plan so it all works. Have to have had a LTE capable phone before you get the N5 for it to work properly with your plan to access LTE>

Do any of you get throttled on AT&T with the Nexus 5? I have the Galaxy Nexus, but a cracked screen and now water damage is making me purchase a new phone, and I have yet to be throttled while regularly using over 5G/month.
Thanks!

You only get throttled (or more accurately, your usage is only metered in the throttling system) when using PHONE or PTA apn. Using a galaxy nexus without lte, you're most likely on wap.cingular (which you can do on a phone with no lte). Once their system detects you're imei and determines you have an lte capable device, you're blocked from using wap.cingular, and this your usage will be monitored (as you'll need to use phone or pta). I can trick the system by putting my sim in my old non lte GS2 (i9100), doing "restore apns" then sim swapping back to my nexus 5. THEN I can use wap.cingular, but unfortunately after a day or two they do an imei sweep and I get locked out again On the bright side tmo just announced they'll be eliminating edge and upgrading everything to lte by 2015 so I'm looking forward to dumping ATT very soon.

No throttle. On 6gb family share plan now. I can get over 50mbit/s in SpeedTest with full LTE signal. 95% of the time I'm on WiFi so to boot LTE speeds don't really matter. My data usage last month was a whole 500mb.

Not sure if the International has a different structure for the ESN/IMEI but its quite possible the 821 is what they have in their system as the Nexus 5. They do have traveling customers on the device but more likely prepaid customers. Interesting one indeed.

He's asking about the UNLIMITED plan being throttled I'm sure, and yes it will after 5gb, unless you're on the wap.cingular apn as I described above.
I should mention that the Nexus 4 will NOT be blocked from wap.cingular as it does not have LTE, so if true unlimited data is that important maybe the Nexus 4 might be a better choice.

ATT sent me a message saying I would be throttled at 3GB even though I have "unlimited data", and being throttled sucks, its awful.

Should be 5gb on an LTE device. I'd call in with your imei to get put on an LTE unlimited plan if you're not already (hspa plans throttle after 3gb.). Note that you don't need to be on LTE or even have an LTE device, you just need any att compatible imei to give them so you're on the right plan.

I got mine from Google, it's the unlocked version, and AT&T is also saying it's an LG 821.

How Do I Check The Model Number?
Hi,
Bought my phone from Google Play. How do I check the model number other then the boot loader?
I checked in 'About Phone', can't find it.
Edit. XDA really has to stop ads from playing with audio with while on the site, drives me nuts.

I tried to use the phone on PTA or Phone APN but it only accepts wap.cingular, because I switched from a 3G phone. The CS rep said my plan is not compatible with LTE, and nothing can be done. I am stuck with HSPA. Oh well, the plus side, I am not throttled.

This is not true. My wife has a T-Mobile N5 and I have a play store N5. Just started ATT service yesterday and we both have LTE. Also both devices show up as LG 821.

This is true in some cases. It depends on the person that sets your phone up. Search. When they provision the phone, some AT&T workers, since the Nexus 5 is officially not in their provisioning software, have to select a generic template. If they are smart and do the right thing, you get set up with a LTE capable provisioning for your phone that works perfect. Some however don't know what they are doing and set the phone up with a plan that cannot access 3G for whatever reason. It completely depends on the person provisioning your phone. With phones that are in AT&T's system that might be unlocked but are in their system, such as Galaxy S4 Google Edition or something, it works no problem since the S4 is in their system. However with "oddball" phones like ours that AT&T doesn't officially support you run into issues as some workers may not know how to handle them.

AT&T incapable of setting up LTE data on my pure edition MotoX

I am extremely frustrated and fed up with ATT customer service on the phone and in the stores. I talked to 3 different persons and none was able to setup my phone for data neither HSPA nor LTE. The BS that I have to listen to is incredible and I am close to terminating my contract. I am pretty sure the issue is that the IMEI of my phone doesn't get recognized by the system and I asked them to change it to an ATT one but they don't do it.

I remember having to do this when I purchased my Nexus 5; this is solved by simply "borrowing" the IMEI of one of the LTE smartphones in the showroom at the store. If there is a ATT Moto X 2014, even better. Just go to that phone's setting and take a photo of the IMEI, then go to the desk and give them that number. It will be recognized and you will be set.
No need to worry about borrowing the IMEI from another phone, it is just to look up the specs for their system. I haven't tested it myself with a Moto X though as I still have a Nexus 5 but you should have no trouble.

Found a fix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just got my Pure Edition yesterday and wasn't able to get any AT&T data plan either, even after a half hour talk with customer support. Then I found a help article on the AT&T site for setting up unlocked phones. You have to set up a new access point. I can't post links, and one of the settings is a url, so I can't post that either. Google "Programming non-AT&T devices with the correct APN and MMS data settings" and hopefully it will work. If someone who can post links could post on to the article, that would be awesome!

Here is the standard ATT Phone apn

In my case I had to do more. I had to generate the new APN and I had to use an IMEI from an old LTE AT&T phone that I just still had. The problem was the switch to the new nanoSim in combiantion with the IMEI of my MotoX. Now everything is fine.

I'm hoping that I can take the SIM card out of my old Moto X and put it into the new 2014 moto X no strings Attached......*hoping*

Fixed.

I can say that I had this problem as well. Voice but no data. Added the custom APN, and that got me 4G, but no LTE. Apparently, ATT does not recognize this phone's IMEI as a LTE capable phone. Had to give them the IMEI off my HTC One M7, code it as LTE, reboot my phone twice, and then it came up as 4GLTE. Just FYI.

That could explain why my data signal has been terrible. Sadly, I don't have a previous ATT phone.

Yep, I ended up creating a new APN and gave them my nexus 5 IMEI for LTE to connect. Not sure why the nexus 5 works since they don't sell that phone either...
Think moto needs to hand over all the IMEI for AT&Ts database... :/

I got a friends imei and registered it. I switched back to the original APN and am getting a better signal and speeds with the nxtgenphone APN.

AT&T now aware of the problem and working on solution. Switching IMEI number is not the long term solution.
There is a case number and we should all get LTE within a few days. Unfortunately, it is the weekend so will take longer for them to approve the Pure Edition (showing as Moto Victara in AT&T system) as non LTE.

I wouldn't get my hopes up on a quick resolution. When they initially opened a ticket for when I signed up for service yesterday, they told me not to worry about not having data and that they would resolve the ticket by the 30th.

Getting 4G is easy by manually setting APN. The hard part is getting LTE without giving them a different IMEI.

Yes, getting data was easy. Yet ATT support had no idea how to even get me data. They passed me up to tier 2 support while I was in the store with them and then told me to leave with the new phone and wait a few hours because it should fix itself. Thankfully, I found people mentioning the APN change to get the hspa+ and was able to get that temporarily as I've been with Verizon and Sprint in the past I didn't know about this offhand. My initial ticket for ATT to even get me data on my new service plan was set to be resolved in 5 days. If something as simple as that had that long of a time frame, I wouldn't count on a quick turn around for this issue.

Odd, I have not had any issues with the stock APN. I switch phones so often I can't even tell you what provisions they have me on at this point but data has worked fine on every phone I have had without changing anything on the phone or AT&T's end. I have been on a Nano sim for a long time though, I just used Sim adapters when I have non-nano slots. They set everything up on a new one for the iPhone 6 plus though, maybe its compatible?

I simply swapped the SIM from my old Moto X to my new Pure Edition Moto X on AT&T and everything works fine... Not sure why you guys are having issues.

Guys..
His issue is that ATT is using the imei from the pure edition moto x.
Since ATT doesn't really do byod (not an ATT branded device) he doesn't get lte.

Modems N910T on AT&T

Does the N910T have the same modem as the N910A?
Does anyone have the flashable zips of both modems? I want to see if using the T-Mobile modem effects the LTE speed on AT&T network.
Thanks!

I'd be curious about this as well. I have an unlocked TMo on AT&T - LTE worked great but now I can only get HSPA+ and AT&T claims my phone registers as a Blackberry. Very frustrating.

Mine just stayed acting funny last night. It will only get 4G which is really actually 3g. I have the AT&T version as well. It will only get 4G also now. They might have did something to my Sim, who knows.

OK o just called att and they also said I had a blackberry as my phone. The difference is I have both versions (AT&T and T-Mobile) so when I called I was using the att version. They still couldn't get lte on the att version. Wtf

Because it says 4g and not LTE. I'm on dynamic ROM so icons are correct. Also was only getting 2mbs download. It also said HSPA in settings under status. Also AT&T said it was a blackberry on my account which is setup different then regular LTE (there words). But don't matter I got it fixed with AY&T for now.
On top of all this I didn't just jump to conclusions. After all the problems I odined back, tried kernel, tried modem. Then add a last resort I put my son back into my AT&T note 4(yes I have both) and had ZERO data because of my account. That's what spaked the phone call to AT&T.

Just wanted to make sure I was verifying the signal in the same way. I am getting LTE though. Just seemed slow. I checked the speed with the same Sim card on my note 2 and the speed was so not great. I believe AT&T is working on the network in my city though and that's why speed are show where I am.

Yeah there having issuers here in Naples to and created a trouble ticket. I've never had really good speeds anyways even on the real AT&T version. Samsung radios dont have the strength of a iPhone which sucks really because everything else beats the iPhone except download speeds and reception. (Thoroughly tested this with a buddy that is addicted to iPhone the way I'm addicted to Samsung phones for the last few years)

I lost LTE today on both my note 4 and g3.
Can't get it back no matter what I try.

Sounds like APN issue or Sim card issue. I have a T-Mobile Note 4 on ATT and I've had LTE the whole time...no problems. I did get a new Sim because I was using a nano Sim with adapter. 2g 3g 4g works fine as well. I'm in SW Missouri and my phone shows as a note 4.

In my experience with this if ATT has the actual IEMI of the off network device you will only get HSPA/HSPA+ at best. It does not matter what your APN settings are and this can only be fixed by providing an IEMI of a device that was sold with AT&T access from the start.
I made a mistake and provided the IEMI (at the time an unlocked MetroPCS S5) and could not get LTE. I told them that I was switching devices and provided the IEMI of my HTC One M8. After rebooting, LTE came back with good speeds again.
This is one reason why as a tinkerer I prefer AT&T over VZW. Verizon will refuse to activate a non VZW device. AT&T's official word is they will allow it but cannot guarantee speed or reliability. In my experience, however using a TMO or other GSM device with them has been fine.
EDIT:
Just logged in to MyATT and mine is showing up as "Samsung SM-N910T".
All I did was insert a sim card from one of my other devices. I'm using a nano sim to micro adapter as well. It's a PIA however I have an M8 and iphone6 which are both nano devices. I'm surprised that Samsung is still using micro sim cards!

I logged in this morning and mine is now showing as 910T as well. I still have LTE.

Not to hijack the thread, but those of you using TMO's Note 4 on AT&T, is your LTE reception good?
And flashing a different carrier's modem on a device could mess up the IMEI number.

Hello,
I just bought the ATT note 4 but still it is not yet on my hands.......I saw that this device has many bands but as I am using t-mobile sim I would like to enable the aws band .......as someone did in this video using a different device ,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb0iCtG4T6I
any help?
thanks

I recently got an n910T for use on AT&T and just stuck my sim card in. I get LTE, but it's slow, like around 6MB down, so more like HSPA speeds. My phone does not show a model on the AT&T website. Should I call AT&T to register my IMEI? The main problem might be that my phone wants to always stay on band 2 even when I am in a signal area with much stronger band 17 (-110dB vs -85dB). When I am at work, in a metal building with AT&T repeaters, it stays on band 17 which is all that is available, so I know it can do band 17, it just does not want to.

is it factory unlocked?

Can someone test to see if the verizon s6 edge is factory unlocked and can be used on tmobile? Thanks!

This hasn't been the case for a while on Verizon phones. As long as the model supports the same bands that T-Mobile does on the LTE, it'll work. Was working on the S5 I had when I tested it, but just got my S6e, and haven't had a chance to test (won't till I can get a nano sim to test it with).

when you get incoming call, does the caller ID have + infront but without the 1? For example, it will show +8005551212, when it is suppose to show +18005551212?

I wonder how are you getting LTE on Verizon phone with ATT. Verizon phone doesn't have band 17 LTE which ATT is mostly using.

yeah. i am wondering how too! i checked the regular Verizon S6 section and some guy said he got it by using PTA APN.

I wonder is it because the VZW version has LTE band 2, 4, and 5.
Check this chart-

It might also be region based for the LTE band. I hope where i am i can get LTE with band 2, 4, and 5 (w/o 17).
if you have any experience with VZW S6 on AT&T service, pls let me know.

I am using Tmobile prepaid on Verizon S6 edge.. A couple of information for those who don't know.
1. ALL Verizon LTE phones are unlocked (per their agreement with FCC).. Since most modern LTE phones are quad band or pentaband.. most of them work with other carriers right out of the box. For example, my Verizon S6 works with Tmobile voice and LTE right out of the box.
2. You would ask why bother with Verizon and why not just use Tmobile.. The reason for me is because I travel internationally and since Verizon phone is GSM unlocked... I don't have to worry about getting a Tmobile phone and then unlocking it.
3. The only down side is that VoLTE does not work.. or at least i haven't figured out a way to make it work since it is software enabled and Verizon LTE phones will not have the software required to activate VoLTE on non-Verizon Sims. That means, you cannot talk and be online at the same time.
If anyone knows how to configure Voice over LTE on a Verizon phone with non-Verizon SIM... Please do share.

Perhaps give them IMEI from a T-Mobile S6?
I did something similar on AT&T when i enabled HD Voice on VZW iPhone and it worked.

I'm also curious is VERIZON USA Galaxy S6 Edge (GSM UNLOCKED) ?
Meaning does it works with TMOBILE or AT&T SIM card inside the VERIZON Galaxy S6 Edge?
Any one tested and confirmed this please. (I'm pretty sure it's but just need someone to confirm this)
Thanks!

Well I know I purchased mine from BestBuy without the contract and Im using a metro pcs sim card and under metropcsnetwork hmmmm working

Project FI SIM roam to VZW/ATT/US Cellular when not in Sprint or T-Mobile coverge?

Has anyone noticed their FI SIM roam when off of sprint and t-mobile coverage?
I have a Nexus 6, 6p and 5x. When my FI SIM is in the 6P and N6 and I'm in sprint mode/CDMA mode and there is no sprint coverage I have noticed that talk/text and 3g data work just fine on both the VZW and the US Cellular networks.
Also when in T-Mobile mode/ GSM mode and there is no T-Mobile coverage, both talk/text and LTE/HSPA/Edge data work just fine on AT&T. Also if on AT&T I actually have mobile data while on a phone call!!!??
But on my 5x I have no roaming at all doesn't matter what I do. It will not work at all on any network except Sprint and T-mobile.
All 3 of the phones have been tried on various ROMS and kernels and that don't seem to make a difference. Currently on Chroma/Franco on all 3.
I use FI Switch by @dwithereIl and Signal Check PRO to switch between CDMA and GSM mode and to know what provider I am currently on.
What has been you experience?

3g and HSPA on VZW, US Cellular and AT&T are all quite bad. less then 1 meg generally. But usable. AT&T LTE however seems to be comparable to actual AT&T speeds. Only did one speed test on AT&T LTE and it was Band 4 and was about 10meg which was exactly what my actual AT&T phone was.

Just now on HSPA. Real AT&T phone gets 8meg. FI, not so much lol

Damn, well at least it would be good in emergencies, in places with not good service. So do you usually roam on h+ on at&t, or LTE often?
Can you do a speed test on verizon roaming?

Yeah exactly! Something cool about paying 20$ +data and tax and having a single Sim that works with the 5 major providers in the USA. Talk and text works perfectly. Data works, just slow.

Sorry, didn't read the rest of your question.. It doesn't seem to go to AT&T very well at all if there is either T-Mobile or Sprint coverage. But when there is neither of those it goes to AT&T LTE and HSPA no problems. Here is a speed test on VZW 3g... Now it says alltel, but that's actually VZW.. Used to be alltel up here in MI.

I have roamed with my Nexus 6 on GSM/ CDMA carriers.
-I have had no speed issues roaming on Verizon.
-On AT&T it said 3G however it was more like HSPA+

Oh absolutely. Project Fi and their SIM, and technology is amazing. On their own Sprint and T-Mobile service can be a bit dodgy. Combining the two has given me excellent service. I have only not had service in one area in the middle of nowhere. I was a dubious early early adopter. Two months later I dropped Verizon and went full time with Fi.

For sure!! My wife and I both have FI and I've been impressed. No brainer if your not a heavy data user. I work in IT and am often in basements with no cell coverage an the WiFi talk and text is very very handy!!

I'm pursuing a degree in IT at the moment!
Anyways, Right Wifi calling and texting is a godsend. I used to be a data hog but I have learned to download and pre-cache stuff and connect to Wifi more religiously. Sometimes my bills are as low as 25$

Hey, best of luck to you!! Its an excellent industry to be in!! Growing like leaps and bounds!!
Can't beat that compared to the $60 - $80 you'd be giving to VZW

So just to be clear... when this roaming happens, is there any additional charge or is it billed at the same rate?

I have been using Fi for several months now and have roamed to various providers numerous times and have not incurred any extra charges.

Very interesting. Thanks.

I havent had good luck with my N6 to get it to carrier jump... Any tips?
