As stated, you might want to give T-Mobile a call. I'm not on T-Mobile but on AT&T I was getting 14 down at the most until I called AT&T and had them fix my account and now I'm getting 57 down. There are definitely things they can do to change what speeds you get.

i am also having this same problem.... please help anyone?

[Q] Problems with my unlocked Bell HD7 (t9295) on AT&T

If you don't already know, the unlocked Bell HD7's 3G bands are the needed bands required for AT&T (850,1900). I received my unlocked Bell HD7 from Negri Electronics today and I was super excited to get it going on AT&T here in The States but ran into a very weird problem...
Basically, I can't connect to 3G/HSDPA/EDGE internet. Now, the weird thing is that it SHOWS I'm using AT&T and that indeed I am on HSDPA (see pics below). Calling and messaging work fine BTW. If I want to do anything requiring data, the 3G/HSDPA/EDGE connection won't work and I'm forced to use wifi.
I'm tired of hard-reseting and flipping switches on and off... I just hard-reset the bastard one last time and now I wait for your advise. What do I do? Thanks in advance

Since it runs on the Bell firmware you must enable the data roaming. In the first pic that you posted it looks like you have it off. Give it a try and report.

can you post the "More Info" result ???
try downloading "connection setup" from the marketplace in the htc apps section, run it and you should be good to go.

Seems silly, but did you actually setup your APNs?
Not sure I saw that in the pics.
Good Luck,

[Q] Unlocked ATT Htc one running on TMO. No LTE?

Hello everyone,
I just got an unlocked black HTC one from ATT and I'm using it on TMO. I got the LTE apns from tmo but noticed that wasn't getting LTE at all. I called them and their customer rep told me that I would not be able to get LTE on a non T-Mobile cellphone... Wtf? Is there a fix for that at all? Their hspa+ is more than enough but it would be nice to have LTE too. I would appreciate any help on the matter. Would it help if I rooted and got CM for it?
Thanks for your time.
If the phone doesn't support the frequency bands for LTE you don't get LTE. It's that simple.

I looked it up and they are running the same LTE frequencies. Band 4 1700.

I may be wrong but, I think AT&T use 1900/2100 & T-Mobile use 1700/2100 and both are on band 4.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_US
Okay so it's possible to get LTE on tmo with an att HTC one.
All you need to do is get the LTE apns and at the dialer do *#*#info#*#* scroll down to preferred network type and switch to CDMA + LTE.

Only one connection is allowed when roaming on a GSM network

I get this message whenever I turn wifi tethering on. Is there any way to remive this annoying message?
How does the phone know I'm roaming and is there any way to make the phone think I'm not, cause the data connection also shows GSM instead of 3G cause it knows I'm outside us

Nexus 6 5.1 update for T-Mobile

When the links were first published for 5.1, I flashed and installed the update through fast-boot and I am currently on 5.1 successfully. I have a t-mobile sim and I purchased this device from them. Today, they are pushing the 5.1 update which is the same as what I already have, but in addition, they are adding VolLTE. Now Im not sure if I already have that due to previously flashing it, or am I supposed to re-flash the T-Mobile variant of 5.1. Anyone have any input?
volte is voice over lte, making and receiving calls on lte. do you have volte?

when you make a phone call, does the phone stay on lte or does it change to H or 3G during the call?

Never-mind, I looked around and apparently the build number for the nexus 6 t mobile carrier is different (LMY47M). And Yes, its LTE. So i guess I just have to wait till the new factory images are posted to Google and then eventually side-load the update.

Reception issues with the Unlocked SM920-F on T-Mobile

So, I got the unlocked S6 off of eBay, SM920-F model. I made my research, it should work with the t-mo's LTE and all but so far it has not been playing ball with me.
First of all, even when I am on LTE on this phone, it just shows as 4G which is not a big deal, I can live with that but when I am on LTE, as you can see on the screenshot below, it does not show anything as to how strong my signal is,etc...If I am on H+ though, it does show my signal strength.
And my LTE(4G Signal) is always at about 2 bars at best, no matter where I am, even if I am in the T-Mobile store. I checked my APN settings but I don't think that's the issue.

Someone posted in another thread regarding LTE Discovery and the like apps don't work on the international models. I have the SM-G920I which is also International minus a couple of bands from your "F" global. Anyhow, with my Cricket Wireless sim the network status (not the lte discovery app) shows signal reception and movement however with my T-Mobile sim the network status does not move at all. Always shows -113. But if you use *#0011# the RSRP will show the true results of your reception. Oh and someone also mentioned that not all Global/International phones will display the "LTE" icon in the notification section even when you are connected to LTE. I believe it was carrier or tower/band specific.
