[Q] Sprint htc one Unlocked being used in caribbean on gsm network no 4G

I bought a sprint htc one anfter a lot of tampering/ softbricking i finally got the bootloader unlocked the Bad Boys rom installed and achieved S-off
using the fire water method
i am on 4.4.2 on a network called digicel everything works fine with one exception NO 4G very disappointing ive unlocked GS4 for sprint for use on the network called Digicel and it worked so im curious if anyone knows of anyway for me to get said 4G on sprint htc one ive done enough research the sprint htc one does have the required basebands to support 4G but as of now all it display's is gsm
Ay help is kindly appreciated also if there is another thread with the same question posted i apologize for asking again, didnt come across any answers in my search. Thanks in advance

I'm going to be doing something similar soon when I go to Jamaica (Sprint is unlocking for international SIM use for me) so hope I can help...did you make sure you have a 4g plan from digicel?...if I remember correctly, they have a seperate plan that had seperate 4g charge incorporated...correct if I'm wrong...maybe you need to add 4g to your plan?

i thought of that also but when i unlocked the samsung galaxy s4 previously i didnt need to activate 4G once i put the sim in i would pick up the 4G one i was in a good coverage area, digicel's 4G service is kinda spotty im in antigua, if i go to the town or on a hill id get 4G in most places, i dont believe that im even getting 3G on the htc one as it only says gsm :/

Ahhh, hmmm, in that case I don't know...interesting though to see how it works out for me...mine will be just for fun/emergency use for a week but still would be nice to have good connection. Update me/us if/when you get it figured out.

First make sure your APN settings match your carrier. Second make sure in network settings make sure you have chosen CDMA/LTE. Sprint always shows that stupid GSM sign when using it on a GSM network outside US. Do this with a file explorer go to /ststem/customize/AAC/default.xml change sku_id to 42 and reboot
The phone will show the correct sign 3G, H, etc

i finally got the file edited, now it shows an E i will try a sim i know has 4G and post an update thank for the help

it would really help to know if this worked for you as im thinking of buying a sprint htc one since they are cheaper to use in jamaica on that same digicel. so its great to know that it works would be better to know if the 4g works or atleast if the network data speed is good since im a wifi kinda guy

sprint galaxy S4 has 4g 1700/2100mhz for gsm networks but sprint htc one has no 4g for gsm networks , so 4g will not work.

Use a SM-N9005 on AT&T?

I have a sm-n9005 and I'm trying to use it on at&t. I bought the sim card and literally just got the prepaid plan. my data isn't working though. The at&t guy said my phone is blocking the data. I can make and receive calls. I think he was trying to get me out the store. Can someone help me on getting data working?
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

Go to the settings menu and select more networks, then mobile networks. Make sure the data box is checked. Then check the apn (access point names) settings and make sure they are the same as your prepaid network.

VoLTE APN.

Just wanted to open this up as a discussion about the up and coming AT&T VoLTE (Voice over LTE) rollout.
I have been trying this new APN on and off in the Metro Orlando area without any luck so far.
Wondering what anyone else can contribute on this subject.
The settings are the same as is used in the "pta" apn, but instead, the apn name is "nxtgenphone"

I have been using it in the Cleveland area .. I honestly don't see any change at all. If it was try VoLTE .. while on a call, wouldn't the data connection stay as 4G/LTE ? Because mine doesn't .. switches just like it did before to 4G only, then back to 4G/LTE within seconds of ending the call.

Yes, It should stay LTE while on a call.
I completely lose all data when I use that APN. Does not work in any way at all for me.

I've had absolutely no problems with it working here in Cleveland .. calls, internet, mms .. everything works. Just not the VoLTE part .. LOL

Just tried, I get data but still goes int 4g when in a call and I'm in the DFW area so I'm in AT&T's home

It's just odd for me that it is totally nonfunctional in this market area. I even tried on my gf's note 3 since she has the at&t version and still a no go. I have the tmobile version so I thought maybe it was a modem or software issue.

Odd? It's a service that isn't out yet and probably still in testing with very limited active markets.
Sent from my SM-T520 using Tapatalk

Well... If what I am reading is correct, only the Asus Padphone will be compatible at first. I do not believe any current American device will be functional with it.
I have also read that the international LTE Note 3 and S4 are supposed to work with it as they started it in Asia first.
As for America, it looks like we don't have support or the hardware for it, yet.

I have also read that they are privately testing it themselves and have not really released it in any market.
If that were the case, a small update would have to happen to get the APN to our phones just to be on the safe side. I can bet that someone from XDA would have grabbed that update.

Moto X 1095 Pure Edition on Cricket LTE issues

I was having some slow data connection so decided to call this AM. To my surprise they are telling me that my phone is not compatible with the Cricket LTE towers. It even shows I have LTE on the status bar.
How is that possible other than them not wanting to give me LTE since I did not buy the phone through them?
I might as well switch to Straight Talk if that is the case.

They're flat wrong and just trying to get you off the phone. With the Lollipop update the Pure edition supports all of AT&T's LTE bands (2/3/4/5/7/17) so it also supports Cricket since they are an AT&T MVNO.
If you check out Howard Forums you'll see that you're not alone in experiencing slow LTE speeds.
http://www.howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php/336-Cricket-AIO

On the Cricket website there is a compatibility section where you enter the IMEI number it says the phone is only compatible with 3g not LTE. Makes no sense.
Just gonna keep it simple and switch to Net10 or Straight Talk instead of worrying about it. If they want my business they shouldn't be inaccurate!

I'm on cricket wireless and I have to build an APN for LTE to work.

Go to cricket's website and search for APN settings. Enter those on your phone. My XT 1095 has had perfect connectivity on crickets LTE using those settings.

Thanks, works great! I was confused by the one post about "building" a APN lol... I thought I was missing something but was more than likely just poor English. I got it working though even with a trimmed down micro SIM lol.

When I first put my cricket sim in, they automatically pushed all the apn settings to my phone.

I never send mms but I just tried it to make sure it worked and their pushed settings was wrong as well. I did the same as you. You would think that they would get the apn setting right. I've had LTE the entire time, just no mms.

My theory is this: for whatever reason cricket thinks our phone is 3G only (run your imei on cricket's compatibility checker) and therefore pushes apn settings meant for 3G phones.

[Q] No LTE on t-mobile Note 4 with AT&T service

I'm using an unlocked note 4 on AT&T(phone was to t mobile when I got it) I can't seem to get LTE does anyone know why or how to get LTE to work? 4G speeds are really slow too.

Are you using service through AT&T or using a AT&T sim through Straight talk or some other subsidiary? I would also look into the apn settings and make sure it is setup properly.

Did you download and use the LTE Discovery App? It needs to reset your modem. Also double check to make sure you entered the apn exactly the same. No phantom spaces, etc. There should be no spaces in the "apn type".
If you still aren't getting data I have one more apn you can try.

LTE discovery doesn't do much but turn off my service and turn it on but still then I only get 4G.

I'm gnna put screenshots, are you able to get lte ?

I have no problem getting LTE on my Note 4 using AT&T'S network.
Screen shots below. I gets decent speeds, not the crazy 40 mbs like some people get, but that is mainly because of the area I live in.
If I am closer to the city I get 35 to 50 mbs down load and 10 to 15 upload.

I am using a T-Mobile Note 4 on ATT network and have no issues. First of all make sure LTE is enabled on your number/simcard. If not call the customer care and ask them to enable LTE on your line. They will ask your device IMEI number and then enable it. If not u will only get a 4G signal on your phone
If you are having trouble getting data on your device, then use these APN settings

I have tried that one already :/
The service rep said this "You are getting LTE on your other lines. Because the device that being use on the line is sync on your account. Since the device that is sync on the line that ends with 1521 is the iPhone 6 Plus. The Note 4 does not receive data service. Because it is registered on the iPhone 6 plus." how legit is that?

If u have a phone on contract on that line, then I use guess it is difficult. Or you can go to an ATT store and say that u lost your sim card. Ask for a new one and say that it is for an Android LTE smartphone.

According to this thread, you also have to go to settings, more networks, mobile networks, network mode and change to LTE/WCDMA/GSM.
I just bought a T-Mobile Note 4 to use on AT&T, but I am waiting for an unlock code. I really hope I don't have any issue.

Will do, but it might be a few days. Guy I bought it from requested the unlock code on Monday and still hasn't received it. Third parties are taking forever too.

I know people are successfully getting LTE on T-mobile Note 4 on AT&T service, though I am not sure which APN settings they're using. Looks like there are at least 3 in this thread to try... but it may be a block from AT&T ? I can't imagine that's the case, but I honestly don't know exactly how much control they (AT&T) have over what bands a given sim card can receive if its not matched to the imei on file in their system? I guess a lot?
OFF TOPIC: How much did you guys pay for the unlock codes? (curious)

LTE works great on this phone with AT&T service. Been using it without issue for months.
I don't know why this person is having issues. Only thing I can think is that the Sim card is bad.
Paid $30 for the unlock.
My AT&T account doesn't even show a smart phone. See the screen shot below. As long as it says LTE device then it's not AT&T causes the problem.

I don't know why I'm having issues honestly. I'm trying everything that's thrown at me , I even got a new Sim card yet no LTE. I don't even care if it shows LTE indicator , but it's that my speeds are so slow. 2-5mbps download while on my iPhone 6plus I would get 50mbps download.
