My Moto G on US version won't work on the faster Tmo (AWS) bands, I get 21-5 meg if I'm lucky. My cheap Lumia gets 10-15 meg, and the speed difference is noticable
If I get the GSM TMobile version of the Moto X - will i see the same issues? I checked over the spreadsheet that lists all the bands, but I did that (I thought) with the Moto G and still it doesn't work.
Thanks in advance!
H all..i am based in chennai,india..i bought a GSM unlocked 32GB version from US via motomaker..i am using bsnl network here in india..everything seems fine except 3G..is anyone using xt1053 moto x in india..?pls help me with tis issue..!!
Took a screenshot of this the one is the new Moto G 2nd gen and the other is my Nexus 6. Both were right next to each other. Nexus is on T-Mobiles Metro PCS network and the other Straight Talk using T-Mobile..is the radio in the Nexus 6 worse than the one Motorola put in the 2014 Moto G?

All that says to me is that the LTE signal on the N6 is weaker than the HSPA/UMTS signal on the MotoG. Turn LTE off on the N6 and use 3G, then compare them. They should be close to equal. (Settings> more> cellular networks> preferred network type)
i purchased a moto x xt 1050 altell for 50 buck new phone ,unlocked it bootloader and network then i installed my stock rom from my unlocked moto x 1053 and installed in that phone works great but no 4g lte only 4g. but when i install cy mod in the phone or another rom i only get 3g or h+ the phone was a 1050 now it shows 1053 in my computer was told from motorola this phone is 4glte ......using it on at&t

The XT1050 is a CDMA/GSM variant with the same FCC ID as the XT1060 (Verizon) variant.
It supports the following frequencies..
CDMA = 800/1900
GSM/GPRS/Edge (aka 2G/2.5G) = 850/900/1900/2100 MHz
UMTS/HSPA (aka 3G) = 850/900/1900/2100 Mhz
HSPA+ (aka 4G) = 850/900/1900/2100 Mhz
4G LTE = Band 4 and 13.
When using on GSM carriers, it will get the fastest connection based on what the phone supports vs what the carrier uses.
In the case of ATT, since they don't use LTE band 13, and rarely use LTE band 4, you usually wont get LTE with this hardware. Only HSPA+ (represented by either H+ or 4G), or UMTS/HSPA (represented by 3G or H), Edge (represented by E).
The settings in the rom you are using will dictate if HSPA+ is represented by H+ or 4G.
And Keep in mind that 4G via HSPA+ is not the same as 4G via LTE, hence 4G vs 4G LTE symbols.
Flashing the rom from another model phone will not enable support additional frequencies or bands. (i.e. flashing the XT1053 firmware will not enable additional bands)
If you want 4GLte on ATT you need either the XT1058, or the XT1053. Just keep in mind the XT1053 lacks LTE band 5 and 7. ATT is starting to roll out LTE on band 5 in a few areas.
Only 3g worked with the xt1050 then when I put the 1053 ROM in I got 4g I heard that some lte bands in the moto phones did not work .....but thank you for your help

You said "4g lte only 4g" and "when i install cy mod in the phone or another rom i only get 3g or h+"
I was explaining to you why.
UMTS/HSPA (designated by 3G or H) = 3G
HSPA+ (desginated by 4g or H+) = Non-LTE 4G
"some lte bands in the moto phones did not work" because of the different hardware variants of the Moto X. Flashing a different Stock Rom (with its modem files) will not change the hardware capabilities, but it can/will change what "graphic" or "symbol" is used for which type of coverage/connection you have.
i.e. If the phone shows 3G or H, its indicating the same thing. UMTS/HSPA connection. If the phone shows H+ or 4G, its showing you have a non-LTE 4G connection.
I won't get h+ with the other ROMs only h and that stands for 3g then I install the stock ROM from my phone I get 4 g and did a speed test getting about 17 megs when I first got the phone I put sim in would not get anything just wanted the phone for parts but tried this because it was locked on the person old number in the CDMA with alltel/Verizon I know there was a chance I can break the phone

Don't forget, it could also be in the APN settings being used for your GSM carrier (unless you are always entering the same manually).
can you tell me how you flashed a different ROm on the XT 1050 .. i have one but the APN doesnt sit

Edit: I just realized that the first site I looked at was not giving the specs for the US edition. My phone doesn't support the 3g bands here and hence 3g does not work
Hi,
I have a Moto g 2014 US edition from consumer cellular. I unlocked the phone and was using it with at&t in the US. Everything was working fine. I would get great signal and great 3g speeds (HSPA+). I'm currently traveling. For some reason, I am not getting any 3g. The frequency my carrier supports is 2100 and that is supported on my phone, but I still can't get 3g. Any idea how to fix the issue?
I've read that having a cut sim could be an issue, but I tested the sim in other phones and I get 3g.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Same problem
I'm having the same problem with my Moto G 2nd Gen. It's XT1064 on 6.0 but I can't get 3G. My SIM card works in 3G on other phones, just not mine. I'm located in Europe, only getting EDGE.

I was wondering if flashing the XT1063 modem firmware/settings on the XT1064 would make the 3G work outside US (only).
Does anyone tried this and worked succesfully?
I'm thinking about buying a XT1064 to use outside US (because the model is cheaper).
Thanks,
