[Q] No Mobile Data on Verizon Moto X with AT&T sim. - Moto X Q&A

So I have a Stock Verizon Moto X 2013 with an AT&T sim. SMS, MMS, and Voice all work. The only thing that doesn't is the Mobile Data. I have tried to manually change to APNs, turning off radios and network refreshing. When I am not on Wifi, the celluar signal looks fine, containing white bars. However, as soon as I go off WIFI connection, the celluar signal immediatly turns orange in the Quick Notifications toggle. Please. I don't even want LTE, just some 3G would be nice. How can I fix this?

I'm also running a Verizon phone on AT&T, and 3G data does work. I'm not sure I can trouble shoot your specific problem, but I can tell you what worked for me.
I ditched the stock ROM, and installed Krypton 1.4 ROM. Then I installed Xposed and the GravityBox module.
This gives you access to the custom mobile network settings, "preferred network type", "select network", and "network mode" (see pics).
Using these settings, I get HSPA connectivity.

Enhanced 4G LTE Services

Running Safestrap with NF6 custom rom.
Today flipping through the "Mobile Network" settings, the "VoLTE" option changed to "Enhanced 4G LTE Services". "Enhanced 4G LTE mode" is checked. The description says "Turns on enhanced voice and communications using LTE data (Recommended)". It used to be "current firmware version does not support..." when I check the VoLTE box. Does anyone know what exactly does it mean?
And how does AT&T get into my phone when I run safestrap with custom rom?

I'm also wondering if this setting impacts negatively LTE speeds. On a stock ROM taken from the 2.23.5.2.3 RUU, this option doesn't even appear, and I can easily get 40Mbs down. On another ROM, taken from the same stock update, the option is there and selected by default and cannot be de-selected. The most I can get is 5Mbs, which is basically HSPA.

[Q] How to force Moto X Developer edition (Verizon) to use only 3G

PagePlus does not activate an LTE phone on their "low-end" plan but allows a modified LTE phone to be activated. I used an app to make it CDMA only but PagePlus still cannot activate it saying it has some issues because their system still thinks it is LTE. I wonder if I have to something special on the phone.
I unlocked fast boot. The phone is not yet rooted.
Any help is appreciated.
Network connections? Set preffered to 3G/2G.
@kyzn is right with going to Settings > More > Cellular networks > Preferred network type and selecting 3g. This does not mean it will be in 3g only because 2g is there for a backup network signal in case that the 3g or higher signal is lost. Shouldn't be problem for you with what you are asking.

M7 no option to enable 4G LTE

Hi,
I spoke to my service provider and they enabled 4G on my account.
I then went into their shop and got a new SIM card, as my old one was 3G only.
So now I have 4G on my account, and a 4G compatible SIM card.
When I go into settings, all I get is the option for 2G/3G auto, and 3G only. No option for 4G/LTE.
I can type in *#*#4636#*#* and get into settings and enable LTE, and then I get the LTE icon at the top and I can go online. However, when I go back into Mobile Data settings, as soon as the screen opens, my internet drops and it reverts to "H" or "3G" at the top. Once again, when I click the option, it only display 2G/3G or 3G only.
How can I activate the option in my OS so it shows up here?
I am running Android Revolution (ARHD) version 92.
Thanks.

Problem data leaving WIFI

Greetings friends, someone will have problem with the data after leaving a WIFI network? I have to turn off mobile data to activate the 3G, this device does not mark H +. and searched information everywhere and I get nothing on this issue. please help!
i configured correctly APN, the problem is when I leave a WIFI network to network DATA, I have to put it in airplane mode, several times to grip the data network, I have a question? This phone does not mark H +? I appears in the device information HSPAP(H+), but only get the 3g icon.
Thank you

See screenshots at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/help/dual-sim-issues-t3426120
Icon labeled 4GLTE when LTE is connected, but just R (registered?) for HSPA+, whether connected or not.
Is data turned on at Settings/Data usage?
At Settings/More/Cellular networks/ is Preferred network type set to 3G/4G? Maybe it's looking for LTE.
Mine goes directly to whichever network data is turned on when I turn off wifi.
What kind of sim are you using?

Cellular data connection status doesn't show in the status bar. I'm using freedompop 3G for the moment. See the screenshot.

greetings, in my country is not available currently the 4g lte network, and put on 3G/4G, 2G only, 2G/3G/4G and 2G/3G/4G LTE and the problem continues, I have to put the airplane mode or restart cell to grab data.
the only solution I can find is put always active mobile data in programmer Options. but it consumes a lot of battery.

Always active seems to be the default. It's on in my phone and I never changed it.
In Settings/Battery is Standby intelligent power saving on? When on I get about 1.5% per hour standby.
The "R" is Roam I believe. You might want to look at your APN and Network Operator settings. If your phone is roaming, it is going to burn battery. Maybe try turning off Roaming?
When you go to Settings -> Battery and then tap the graph, and it will show you metrics in RYG for Cellular Network Signal, Wifi, Awake, etc. What does your "Cellular Network Signal" look like?
Freedompop roams on att and t mobile (it's a global sim card) I had the lg g4 before this and I was able to choose which I would be on, now if I try to manually connect all available networks are "freedompop" then it says roaming ("R") is status bar, on my g4 it would have an "H"
Any app to get more details on my options and what I'm connected to?

Thanks but that's not what I mean,
On other phones it was fine on the "BLU R1 HD" it only roams and I can't choose between att and TMO

What I'm trying to do is with the FREEDOMPOP sim card choose which the phone should roam on between att or TMO all I can choose from is a list of "FreedomPop" but it's not saying which is roaming on
(Other phones you can choose)
I believe one set is att and the other TMO but how can I know (see there are two sets, two of each 2g 3g 4g)
May I ask why it matters which one it roams on? i'd just turn of the advanced lte and not worry about if it was t-mobile or at&t it will pick the strongest signal and connect to it. but there apps that can help you figure out what network and who's your actually using.

Freedompop won't show network connection in notification bar.

So I'm using this phone with Freedompop's global SIM card as a handy data connection device. I've been using this sim with other phones without a problem, however I have a strange behavior on the Blu R1. Apparently, since the card is always considered "roaming" here in the US, the R1 just shows me a "R" next to my signal bars. However, I am unable to see if I have a network connection, or at what level (3G, H+, etc). I set the network preferences to always connect when roaming, but I hate being in the dark with my connection.
I can pull up a browser and see if it works or not, or open up the Network app or something to see the nitty-gritty status, but its very frustrating to not know how or even IF I'm connected when I'm expecting a message or response. For example, if I'm on H+ I'll accept a video call, but if I'm on 3G I know it'll just end in frustration. Is there any fix/tweak or anything to get around this? Perhaps disable the roaming notification?
I'm not having quite the same problem with FreedomPop. I see the perpetual R for roaming, but I do get bars for network signal strength. (You do have the FreedomPop Sim in slot #1, right? It won't work in Slot #2.)
FreedomPop will ALWAYS show as roaming here in the US. It is part of their instructions actually. But you will not be charged extra for it. I have had the free 200mb, 500 text, 200 minute plan on my sons R1 HD for a few months now and no bills.
If you have Xposed installed, you could use the Roaming Control module to trick your phone into thinking that AT&T and T-mobile aren't roaming networks; it's what I did until I switched to the FreedomPop LTE GSM sims.
Otherwise, I used to use Network Cell Info Lite, where I enabled the notification and set the update rate to 4 seconds--HSPA+ will show up as "3.5G" in the notification icon. It has proper support for dual-sim phones. You could also try Nify, which does show what kind of network connection you're on, but I have no idea if it works with dual-sim phones properly (e.g. will it only show SIM1 all the time, even if you use SIM2 as your primary sim?)
