I seem to cant get any LTE connection on my at&t moto x.ive downloaded the phone testing app and i cant change it to LTE/GSM or any LTE connection for that matter it stays on GSM auto. Any help or ideas please? As of right now im only getting hspa/hspa+ connection
Google your carriers APN settings and see if yours match.
Other than that, it can only be a Sim card issue or carrier issue. Assuming you mean an AT&T model phone on at&t's network.
Or is it on another network? If so.... You may not have the bands supported on the phone that your carrier uses. Nothing you can do about that if so.

Hello,
I have the Droid 3 with Verizon, unlocked, with verizon vodafone sim activated. I am currently in Canada, and am wondering why it will not connect to GSM/HSDPA towers.
If I go into the wireless and networks -> mobile networks -> Operator selection the phone will show me Rogers 2G, Rogers 3G, Bell, and Telus networks.
I also get this error for all three in the drop down menu, the name just changes:
No service
Selected network (CAN Rogers wireless inc. 3g) unavailable.
I have all the APN's entered for all three of those carriers, and can select them with an application named APN Manager, however none of those APN's show up in my wireless and networks -> mobile networks -> access point names. Both the vodafone APN's are unselected though.
I am looking to get on this GSM/HSDPA network, as when I am out in the country there is only 1x dial up internet on CDMA, and HSDPA available in the country.
If anyone can help me out, let me know!
Thanks much, in advance!
I have posted this exact same question at Howardforums. Here is the link to that thread:
/showthread.php/1736801-Q-Droid-3-GSM-Roaming
You will have to first go to howardforums website, then add the above part
Forgot to mention: I tried a Rogers and a Telus sim card and they both got calling service.
Not sure if Verizon has roaming agreement with any of the Canadian GSM networks. You can roam using CDMA here without any problem. I believe Telus is backing up Verizon here when it comes to CDMA.
If you want to use GSM you can put a SIM from any of the operators here (except AWS ones) and you will be fine since you have unlocked phone. Cheaper to use too, of course if using local SIM is an option for you. If you will be using local SIM you will need to define APNs or you won't get data connection. Head over Google for the settings for each of the operators here (Canada)

Thanks Leobg. I believe you are right that there is no roaming agreement for GSM, which makes sense. Verizon lady told me otherwise
This phone is going back though, as I was looking for some HSPA while in the country.
I was using Droid3 and Droid4 with Mexican SIMS, IUSACEL and TELCEL without problem. Now Im at Canada and Rogers SIM doesnt work on both phnes. I guess they are locked, can you describe me how to unlock where i do purchase unlocking codes?
reply
If you are on a contract with Verizon, you can ask them for unlock code,
Insert a sim card which it ain't accepting, enter the unlock code and its done.
Don't forget --- Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode -> GSM/UMTS
But I believe once unlocked, Verizon doesn't work on it.
It sounds like the SIM. Or try switching to CDMA. I think the Canadian carriers still have CDMA on their towers (used to a few years ago) and maybe that's the roaming the lady means.
I have an unlocked Galaxy S4 active i9295 and I cannot get the 4G or the LTE working since I do not have even the option I only have WCDMA/GSM I travel around the world with this phone and now I am in Ireland on 3 and still I am getting H+ showing and not LTE or 4G. Is there a way to activate 4G or is there any special 4G sims ?
I would check your APN settings, seeing how you are unlocked, the proper APN may not be installed to match your Sim, check with your carrier, to make sure they are 4G and LTE capable and get their settings.

Try ShowServiceMode. It should help to unlock LTE band. It worked for me here in Poland, because local career's LTE was locked by my Russian firmware. But using this program I can only switch between phone calls (GSM/3G) and LTE, they cannot work simultaneously.
Thank you guys. One major thing is that why I can even see the option in the settings? If anyone else has some information please help out.
Thanks
Now that Verizon is rolling out band 2 and 4 LTE, I thought I'd try an experiment. Some background: I have a Nexus 7 LTE (2013) with Verizon data-only SIM, and an LG G4 H811 on T-Mobile. The H811 is SIM/network unlocked. I attempted putting the Verizon SIM in the T-Mobile phone. Full signal with Verizon SIM, but no "4G LTE" indicator. Attempted entering Verizon APN settings, but they would not save. (Is this device specific, or is the SIM card rejecting the APN settings?) Tried simply entering Name "Verizon" and APN "vzwinternet" but omitted MNC and MCC settings, and now "4G LTE" indicator DOES show, but no internet connection. Under About Phone/Network I am connected to Verizon on my H811 and Mobile network type is "LTE" but still not actually connected. Any suggestions for entering the Verizon APN info on a T-Mobile device and making it stick? I'm a paying customer on both networks, so please no indignant comments about "why don't you just ditch T-Mobile and/or Verizon?" This is just to satisfy my curiosity.
FYI, the Nexus 7 LTE (2013) does not have CDMA radios, so I don't care that the H811 also does not. Shouldn't the SIM work for the LTE bands that the H811 does have? Doesn't Verizon have some deal-with-the-devil arrangement with the FCC regarding their LTE that they have to allow any device on their network?

Is your H811 rooted? if so you may want to try injecting the APN into the apns-config.xml file located system/etc

Not rooted. Just found out how easy it is with unlocked bootloader. This might my next weekend project. Might also try unlocking band 13. I don't suppose anybody's tried that with the H811 yet?
You could open dialer. Type 277634#*# then touch unlock apn. Then you can get the g4 an changes stick
Small issues for you:
1 - You might have data on 2 & 4 (eventually), but you won't have CDMA connectivity and you won't have VoLTE, so you'll never be able to actually make calls.
2 - Verizon has a device whitelist (and blacklist) in place, so they actually need to ALLOW your device on the network, vs. a traditional GSM based telecom who simply implements a blacklist. The reason you aren't able to connect to anything even though it shows as connected, is because they haven't allowed you on their network. Here's the ****ty (****tier) part: Unless you have a Nexus 6, iPhone or a verizon BRANDED phone, you won't be allowed on. They've been very clear about this for about a decade now, and they're not changing anytime soon.
Small edit: The APNs allow you to connect to the network in the first place, so the APN isn't the issue here. The whitelist is.
I have got moto-x xt1052 running lollipop Asia version
Network works fine in gsm (2G) mode but it shows no service in 3G and LTE mode
Vodafone IN 2G works not 3G and 4G, Reliance JIO doesn't works since it has only LTE
I tried resetting the phone and flashed the stock rom
Run test in *#*#INFO#*#* mode, in SMSC it shows my number
Even flashed the modem files but also it show no service
How can i get back LTE mode?, help me guys
Since a few days ago, my Moto X also has no service, regardless of what the preferred mode is set to. It simply sees no carriers at all. Anybody got an idea how I can debug this? One idea is that the GSM antenna has disconnected itself somehow, but I don't even know where it is.
So I got a Chinese edition phone with band 2, 4, 5, 12, and 17 to fully support both TMobile and ATT network. The Global edition was missing band 17 for ATT so I didnt want to go that route. Been going back and forth with ATT a bit for the past few days since my device came in. The phone shows up and an "unknown device" on their network when we tried adding the IEMI. It will get UMTS (2g) and HSPA+ (3Gish/4G), but will not connect to any LTE or GSM. The phone supports GSM fine, so its strange that it wont do normal cellular connection over that, it will only do cellular over UMTS. The device wont detect as an LTE device and so the sim wont activate LTE on it.
Anyone else with ATT have this issue? And were you able to resolve it somehow?
Or those with TMobile in the US, are you able to activate the phone fine and get full coverage and LTE working?
I messed around with the connection settings in the *#*#4636#*#* menu. Only the "LTE/TD-SCDMA/UMTS" and "LTE/TD-SCDMA/WCDMA" will work properly at all. Both options give me UMTS for cellular, and HSPA+ for data. Of the 4 APNs that ATT uses, only the "ATT Phone" will work at all. The standard LTE APN "NXTGENPHONE" will leave the phone with no data or cellular service. This is related to the phone not being detected as an LTE device and the SIM not activating as such.
I simply put my AT&T sim in my China version and it worked straightaway. I didn't have to do anything else.
I am on Cricket, which leases service from AT&T, so I should know if it works once it comes Tuesday.
Just for perspective, I got a EU version of the Mi 9. Popped in a T-Mobile sim and it worked out of the box. Try the other sim slot. Could be your sim card if not.
Try these codes in Dialer. See if that helps anything.
VoLTE *#*#86583#*#*
VoWIFI *#*#869434#*#*
I was just making an ATT account so no previous activations or sims. So that could be the issue. I will try activating a sim with an old phone and then move the sim over. Or since it is the same hardware as a Galaxy S10, ill see if I can find a store that will activate a sim with a floor model S10 and then let me swap the sim into my Mi 9
Straight talk (ATT sim) lte without issue. no programming necessary , I have the global model though

Where did you guys buy the China version from?
US mobile white SIM from starter kit (T-Mobile) works well with LTE on Chinese model of Mi 9. Black one (Verizon) technically works, registers in the network and enables data, but Verizon refuses the IMEI as non-certified brand of the phone. Trick with activation on the iphone first and switching to xiaomi did not work, service gets cut off, when trying to make a call, it keeps dropping. AT&T based: Cricket and Straight Talk work just fine too.

Thanks for the info.
I was wondering about Verizon, since it support some CDMA bands and support 2 out of 3 of the LTE bands they use (doesnt support B13). Unfortunately I never tried it myself since half the coverage near me uses the band this phone doesnt support on Verizon.
I went and got my ATT account updated to an old Nexus 6 IMEI number and it got LTE on the N6. I then took the sim and put it in my Mi 9 and now the Mi 9 has LTE. So for anyone just getting this phone, you must have an IMEI on your account that is recognized as an LTE phone. If you try to add the IMEI of the Mi9 it is not recognized by ATT and wont provision LTE.
IMEI spoofing does not work with Verizon, as they simply ban the device. They call it “non certified”. Bands are seem ok.

I been purchasing from liaow. Never ran across a issue with them
I've been having the same issue, with a recently-bought (last week arrived) Mi 9 Global on AT&T postpaid. LTE showed up and worked fine day one, now network speeds are dropped down to 3.5G speeds. Anyone else have success with getting LTE on a fresh SIM?
