I am looking into this question of the att note getting lte speeds on t-mobile once their lte is launched on the 1700 aws band -- after t-mobile refarms their 3g/4g to the 1900 band they won from att in the buy out fiasco.
The att i717 note uses the 700/1700 bands for lte on att service.
The tmobile note uses the 1700 band for wcdma (hspa 42?) - not lte on tmo's service.
When all is said and done, will the att note running on tmobile's network get the lte speeds on the reconfigured 1700 band?? :fingers-crossed:
Sounds logical, but my logic does not match my technical knowledge, which is not so great.:silly:
I am ready to buy the 64 mb Developer Edition but I want to make sure
this will work with the LTE USA bands.
My Nexus 4 does not. Experts Please advise.
Thank you in advance,

On ALL LTE bands? Final question....
Thank you

I don't have the specs off my head but 700, aws and others just check at the HTC store for the specs

HTC One Developer Edition unboxing and hands-on VIDEO
Here is HTC One Developer Edition unboxing video.
In short yes it will work fine with both AT&T and TMO LTE bands.
It gets more complicated when talking about UMTS/HSPA bands on TMO but for LTE you're fine.

Are you sure about T-mo? From the T-mo site http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-5627
-Mobile’s 4G LTE network will operate on the same band as our 4G HSPA+ network, Band IV, which uses 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz frequencies to transmit data services.

I hope I'm reading this wrong, I am by no means an expert, but if they use 1700/2100 as they do for HSPA (IE one frequency upstream the other down) then the dev edition will not get 4G LTE on TMOUS.
Sorry for Hijacking the thread a little.
Quote from Android Police
A reminder to T-Mobile customers: this model will not support HSPA+ in most markets, but should work on its growing LTE network where offered.
Also, to follow that up. If you are in a refarmed 1900mhz area it will work HSPA+
That is my take from the Article

The quote is correct but so is what rugmankc said. The short answer is that UMTS and LTE band support does not have to be the same.
If you want a few specifics, the dev and AT&T Ones support LTE band 4 (AWS, or 1700/2100MHz) but only have triband UMTS (850/1900/2100 iirc). The T-Mobile One supports quadband UMTS (all UMTS frequencies except 900MHz I think) as well as LTE band 4. They both support LTE band 17 (700MHz) also, not sure about others.
So in conclusion: ATT/dev One works on T-Mo LTE and refarmed 1900MHz HSPA+.
ATT
Does anyone actually have the HTC one developer Edition on ATT and is running LTE?

So to clarify, if I buy an AT&T HTC One and unlock it will T-mobile's 4g/LTE work?

4g (i.e. HSPA+) will only work if the 1900 MHz towers in your area were refarmed for that purpose. If you only have 1700 MHz towers, you will not get HSPA+. LTE will work though.
Hi,
What LTE bands are supported for Galaxy S5 SM-G900F International version?
For USA T-mobile and ATT I could find the info at

Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F:
LTE: 800, 850, 900, 1800, 2100, 2600
I guess it depends on which country you're in to determine what band applies. Those are the associated frequencies though.

The international Samsung phones have yet to support america's LTE bands. I was really hoping that the Octa version would finally have worldwide LTE, but it turns out neither of the international S5 versions support LTE 4 or 17 (used on AT&T/TMo)
More than likely AT&T's way of forcing people to buy their version instead. This way people can't root, flash roms, or tether w/o a plan.
US variants and the I model ( Aussie model ) are the only ones that are LTE supported and are now pretty much all bootloader locked. Also all international models all come factory/carrier/bootloader unlocked too. Ive just moved here not long ago and dont really care for LTE so got my last 2 phones outside the country. I didnt realize about the bootloader lock until I got my S5 from ATT so Im hoping someone comes up with a method to unlock it.

Octa Version (G900H) doesn't have 4G LTE, only 3G. I have one of that here in Brazil.
canadian version
Looks like the Canadian version SM-G900W8 supports 8 LTE bands - which is all exept for the 800mhz (very common in Europe).
just google SM-G900WZKABMC-techspecs (cant post links)
Does your phone have to support every band a carrier uses for lte for you to be able to use lte on that network?
My s5 supports 5 of the 7 lte bands that att uses. Will I not be able to use lte at all with my phone?

AT&T operates LTE in band 2 (1900), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 17(700).
The T-Mobile bootloader is NOT locked and supports all the bands of AT&T and more. Plus, 900F roms work well on it if you keep the TMO modem.
So is it just a matter of changing the modems to get lte working on AT&T and T-Mobile with the 900F?
I just put a straight talk SIM (AT&T network) in my phone and I am reporting lte on my phone and getting download speeds of 15mbps +.

No. I don't think that the 900F has all the AT&T and TMO bands so it would be hit and miss at best.
And you want the modem designed for the device because it will utilize whatever bands that device is capable of using.
If you are close to a cell tower, 4g can do 15. I'm close to a cell tower here at work and my LTE can get 58 down.

Does that mean you can just stick an AT&T sim card into a T-Mobile S5 and have all the same capabilities as the AT&T S5, and more (like an unlocked bootloader)?

Almost. When you receive the G900T it will be locked to the T-Mobile network (unless you specifically buy one that is unlocked) so you do have to get it SIM Unlocked first. This allows you to use it on any GSM network. I paid 20 bucks online because no one has figured out how to unlock it for free yet.
After that I installed Omega rom but kept the latest TMO modem. It works perfectly. I got 58 down on LTE at work the other day.
Any idea how to get it to connect to the 4G/LTE network with SM-G900F

unable to connect to 3G, 4G network
I'm using Samsung galaxy S5 SM-G900F in Pakistan, my problem is that i use 3G and 4G services in Islamabad(Capital of Pakistan) and Rawalpindi (twin city of capital) my S5 works fine but whenever i go around the country, i'm unable to use 3G or 4G services. Its continuously show me that i'm connected with 2G network or EDGE enable network. i've done everything(updating- from 5.0.1 to 6.0.1, resetting, carrier switching,some other freaking tweaks) , bandwidth also the supported with carrier network. i'm tired with this seriously....:crying::crying:
PLEASE HELP ME OUT of this Problem....
Hi every one i got a s8+ from t mobile i switch to at&t and my s8+ is not running the 4g lte of at&t i verified the APN and nothing i called at&t and they say the phone is not compatible with their 4g lte. What can i do?
To my knowledge, and others may chime in differently, the LTE bands are not compatible between ATT and T-Mobile. It would work in reverse, that is taking an ATT phone to T-Mobile, but not the other way around.

This info is from T-Mobile's website: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-34266
Network
4G LTE: 2, 4, 12, 66
3G / 4G (HSPA / UMTS / HSPA+): Band I (2100), Band II (1900), Band IV (1700/2100), Band V (850)
2G (GSM, GPRS, and EDGE): 850, 900, 1800, 1900
The hardware is EXACTLY the same. There is absolutely no difference between a T-Mobile S8 and an ATT S8. The only difference is the firmware. And you can install the ATT firmware on your S8, or even better install the Unlocked XAA firmware.
