I tried searching quite a bit but couldn't find the answer, so here it is...
I was going to buy a used Vivid, but when I put my own sim (AT&T GS2 i777) in the Vivid, it has no network connection. The seller said that that might be because AT&T needs to turn on LTE for me before that can be done. However, that doesn't quite make sense to me: I upgraded from iphone 3G to the GS2, and AT&T kept bothering me about not getting 4G even though I have a 4G phone for the first 2 weeks. I brought it back to the store and they straightened it out. My point is, the network worked before that, just not at HSPA speed probably, but it worked. Yet when I put my sim in the Vivid, I get no network connection at all. Is there no fall back?

It's cause you are using LTE (pta) apns...you have two options
1) use legacy apns...can be found in the stickies "general knowledge" thread
2) call att and tell them you would like to enable LTE on your line...it won't change your plan and you won't get charged extra...everything stays the same except they enable LTE for you (I did this option...so I know from expierence)
The galaxy s2 didn't have real 4g it had hspa+, the vivid has real 4glte
I suggest doin the second option so you can enjoy the speeds of true 4g LTE (I get 23mb down and 8mbs up...)
If after having LTE it still doesn't work then your sim is probably incompatible...just go to the att store and ask for an LTE sim...they will give it to you for free

Hi all,
I'm waiting patiently for my 64gb developer phone which I should be getting next week. In the meantime I've been combing through the forums trying to get as much information as I can regarding the developer's edition HTC One. When I think I got the answer I'm looking for I see something else that makes me think another way. With this thread I'm hoping to get answers in one place to avoid confusion. Someone please educate me on this phone.
1. Will I be able to get 4G LTE, and or HSPA+?
2. Unlocked bootloader means I can flash roms but not kernels? How will I know which roms/kernels are the correct ones to flash for the dev edition?
3. Has anyone achieved s-off yet and if so which method is the best and easiest?
4. Tmo is going to be my carier. Whats this about Non Tmo devices needing the Tmobile 4GLTE APN added to the phone to connect to 4G LTE? Does this mean I don't have LTE (I guess it related to 1st question). And how do I add the tmo 4gLTE APN?
5. How does insurance work with unlocked phones and who do I get it from?
Sorry for all these questions. I'm fascinated and I want to be a developer one day so I'm trying to find my way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. You can get lte if your in a lte area. You will get hspa if your in a Markey with the 1900 band
2. You can flash roms kernels and radios now with s on
3. Prob no need for s off anymore
4. Put in the SIM should be auto or just Google it
5. Squaretrade.com

I am still struggling, some people say that you will never get 3g, but yes on 4g, some other says that you will never get both of them since you are Tmobile. I can tell you, I have Tmobile wiht my HTC One Dev edition and I am getting HSDPA, and I pretty happy wiht that, but I am also worried why we are not getting 4G, so I also have started reading about that, the specs are almost the same, but it looks like the problem is the radio installed in the dev edition. So it look like if some dev are able to pull the radio out of the Tmobile HTC One version and try to adapt it or maybe directly installed in out dev edition it will work. I heard this a couple of days ago from another topic in this forum.
Good luck:good:
So 4glte runs on AWS 1700 and dev version doesn't support it unless a developer figures out how to flash it on the dev phone. Do you think that possibility is high? Thanks for the info.

Wow... when you say neither that's pretty scary. I certainly hope that's not the case. I live in NJ in a 1900 rich area. I really do hope we can get LTE and hspa+. I told my wife we are getting 4g with these new phones but I guess I read wrong. We're coming from Sprint so even if we get hspa+ it's a major improvement.

So I heard that the problem with dev version is that it has the compatibility built in hardware, but the radio which comes with the dev version doesn't support it, the problem here is that I don't know if flashing the radio from Tmobile HTC one will brick our phone.
If some developer could come to the thread and give us some answer, I don't have enough knowledge about how radios works.

You can flash it without bricking, but based on a thread in here that it doesn't work. There might be addition files other than the radio or something.
based on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223236 we have the same devices with T-Mobile and AT&T
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2248586 is where some people have tried and it booted, but they don't get HSPA+ on non-refarmed areas.

I suspect that we are going to need S-Off in order to get this working, assuming that there is not in fact some hardware difference between the dev and TMO versions. I've read the threads, but I don't know where they get their information. I have not seen anything from HTC on which hardware is in the various phones.

I have not either, but based on current information to go by that's all we have. I think the only way we could tell for sure is a complete tear down of each model, but so far that has not been accomplished. If there are any variations in the hardware we'd see them and could say "It isn't going to work". If there is no difference then it has to be software/firmware thing.
I may have the opportunity later this weekend to trade my S4 for the international version of the HTC One. Just a few questions from some experts first. I am in a 4G LTE area and want to make sure the international version has the capabilities of getting that signal. Also, less bloatware I would assume as well? What else is there............Oh! Rooting and Flashing I would assume would be easier on the international version as well? Thanks in advance for any answers.
check the LTE frequencies used by your carrier, HTC one should support most of them, not sure if ALL.
rooting and flashing is quite similar no matter what version you get.

I was wondering if we can flash the T-mobile radio on a Rogers LTE enabled HTC ONE to make it workable for Mobilicity or Wind as they are AWS frequency carriers like T-mobile.
Will this work.
Im going to buy one, but it is really hard to find a T-mobile HTC one here.

Theoretically it's possible, but it hasn't happened till now. I'm eagerly waiting for this too! Guys here at XDA are trying hard to make it work (Basically they're trying to get an Internatioanal/AT&T version work with T-Mobile AWS). I'm optimistic, but not holding breath though.
yaaa
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315880&page=25I'm waiting as well..I hope they can pull it off.
Haven't seen much progress lately although
I've got a fully unlocked T-Mobile HTC One and I'm trying to use AT&T with the phone. I popped in my AT&T sim card and it works great but I'm not seeing LTE. Not sure what the problem is because the phone is supposed to be able to run on AT&T's LTE network and I've got the correct APN settings as far as I know.
You have to have a lte data plan
And att prob needs phones imei to let you use their lte not sure on this but I know when I got my one coming from one x + lte didn't work out the box I had to call
