Moto X Not Switching to LTE

So I picked up an unlocked XT1053 GSM developer edition a month or so ago. I got on Net10 and everything seems fine except for one issue.
When I am in an HSPA+ area and come into a known LTE area the phone doesn't seem to switch to LTE right away. If I toggle airplane mode on and off I get full LTE with good signal and it holds strong until I'm back in a weak area. If I am in an LTE area for a while after about 30 min or so it will finally switch on it's own, but I would think it should be much faster without using airplane mode. Anyone have any ideas?

Call your service provider and provide them your IMEI so they can provision your device.

LTE works on my phone though, it just doesn't switch right away. It seems like if HSPA+ is even one dB better then it stays on it. If I toggle airplane mode I get strong LTE. Is that a provisioning issue?
Is there a way with APNs or anything to make LTE take priority if it's present?

It could be the provisioning. You sim may not be fully provisioned. If that doesn't fix it.
You can change it to lte only.
Install a app called any cut. Create a short cut for testing. Select the first option and at the bottom change it lte only. See if it works. If not then the network isn't allowing iy

Well I ordered an actual nano Sim from net10 since they just got them. It will be here tomorrow so I'm sure that when I transfer my service to it my account will get provisioned. If I still have problems I'll try what you mentioned.

[q] how can i enable mms and lte for at&t?

I have a verizon note 3 sm-n900v that I want to use on AT&T. I have rooted it and accessed the service mode screen and enabled b4. I have set up the APN and I am able to send and receive texts and make and receive calls. My data works, but it is on H and H+. I can not get on LTE or send MMS messages....can someone please help me?!
I have read that AT&T runs on a different LTE band, so I am just checking to see if this is true and also ask that if I pay for a factory unlock if it will fix it so that it operates the way it is supposed to.
Thanks

Well Verizon is CDMA where att is GSM, totally different and not sure it is even possible.. Odd that you can even see it.. this is probably your issue. Only other provider I think you can fully work on is sprint (and other mini ones that are CDMA)

actually tmobile works fine on it. You can switch the APN to gsm and it works just fine. The verizon note 3 is the only one that came factory unlocked to run on any network...you just need to tweak the settings.

I know tmobile works fine as it is GSM, but never heard of Verizon or sprint working. Think last i seen those 2 didn't use a sim card like att which could lead to other issues as well

I meant to say att works fine on it aside from those two issues I can't figure out.

Is your main provider att or Verizon. If v then my guess might be that you don't have an att sim that they can validate for the lte etc.
From my Fired-up Kitty

My provider is Att. I want to use a Verizon phone on att

LTE will not work.
Only HSPA+
Change APN settings for MMS

I did change the apn and still nothing. I'm stuck without knowing what to do. I can receive pictures but not send and surf the Internet fine on h and h+ any ideas?

This?

I actually had that. Att needed to do something internally for it to work. Thanks!

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.

Will what did you do to "build" your APN for LTE to work with AT&T / Cricket ?

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 was pushed the incorrect settings by cricket. Found the correct ones on the website.

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] How to find out who the roaming carrier is on T-mobile?

How do you find out what roaming carrier that T-mobile is using?
I have Tmo and Note 4 and I know you to access the Service Mode you enter *#0011#
I am going to be travelling to Moscow, Singapore and Malaysia and I want to see how good the free data and txt msg are as Tmobile has claimed. So I just want to know who carrier they use.
Thanks.

When you're there, try doing a speed test.
Usually the app tells you which network you're on.

Oh, the speedtest app? I thought there is some hidden screen somewhere to check for roaming.
From what I heard we can only get 3G speed at the max.
I will see and let you all know.

When I went to Germany, the carrier just showed up in the notification bar. It worked great but was only 3g speeds.

Just slide the Notification bar down, and it will tell.

AT&T D950 confusion..

First. yep I'm trying to learn what I am doing lol I have only messed with a HTC Sensation a couple years ago. Now with A AT&T Flex D950, from what I read is the Flex1. mine is Ver 4.4.2, Kernel 3.4.0, Build KOT49I.D95020g.. What I have done is fire AT&T, unlocked sim, went back to T-Mobile, and rooted.. I have no LTE but all else seems to be fine.
I started looking in to fixing the LTE issue, de-bloat, see if I can get the other T-Mo functions to work like WIFI calling and so forth, maybe do more. Needs to be good for my daily device.
The more I have read, the more I am confusing myself about what I can get away with. Like what works across flex models, radio drivers that work with what I need and so forth. Need some advice/help to get me on the right track. I would like to stick with my flex so any help would be greatly appreciated..
Please keep in mind I am learning as I go here

You should do some research on what LTE bands in your area that T-Mobile supports. Maybe the at&t model/radio doesn't support those bands.
What Sim unlock method did you [email protected]_XV6700 has some experience with cross Dll and radios. I would point you to his thread..... But its been deleted

Thanks for the post!
I unlocked with the code number. I will look in to dll and radio mods by trying to PM.
I could be wrong but I'm thinking LTE is another problem, unless T-Mobile is not using a band we have in common in Calif. I travel a lot and have not seen LTE anywhere to include Bay Area, So Cal, and the central valley. I could be wrong about that tho. Maybe I'll get lucky and find out about a radio mod that helps. My Samsung's have LTE band options, and this Flex has no such options to be found..

D950 also has LTE band options through the secret menu.
Use 3845#*950# from dialpad to access the secret menu, got to LTE only menu and you have the bands there
Sent from my LG-D950 using XDA Free mobile app

I use the "Network" app from the playstore to switch bands. The reason I asked is because I unlocked my sprint branded g flex to use with cricket, and the sprint radio does not have the LTE bands for at&t/cricket. But H+ works just as well in my are as LTE.
Here is the supported model bands, but not sure of usable bands in your area:

That's not working on mine,well it works just shows nul.. I went into build.prop file last night, changed att to open. I now have LTE with 39mbps down speed ? thinking I need to go back in that file and change any "att" to open or tmo? Was also wondering if I change model # to tmo flex # would that open up stuff on network like wifi calling?? I don't want to go too far with the build.prop file lol I know if I screw up that file I'll have to wipe and start over, if not brick this thing..

LTE is working now, went in to build.prop file and changed att to open. That opened up bands on it's own. Seems that's what had it locked to att band's only. Do ya know what else I can get away with modifying build.prop?

Make a nandroid backup, backup your EFS partition. Save it on your computer, and you can save your phone from most bricks. There is a couple of band mods on the g flex 2 section of XDA that use "shortcut master" from the play store, check it out.
Also check out xposed, its awesome.

Will do

There's a thread in the AT&T G2 section where a T-Mobile rom was ported to the AT&T variant:http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g2/development/rom-t-mobile-4-4-2-stock-d80120e-wi-fi-t2819587
I only have satellite Internet service, so I haven't downloaded it to try and dig through to figure out how he did it.
Looking at porting guides, it looks easy except that the WiFi calling is in the Framework folder, or so they say. Maybe someone here who knows what they're doing would be willing to embark on this journey for those of us who could use it.
