LTE setting on Three?

Hi,
Got my XZ in white earlier today, it's a beauty, easily the best looking Android phone over ever used! Battery seems to go quickly, but I have used it a lot lol! Back gets pretty warm when using it alot, getting worried.
But reason for this post is I can't find the LTE settings on my phone, on the demo one I used in three, its under mobile networks, network mode. Mine shows GSM and WCDMA no LTE, the demo one I used in three had LTE as a third option.
Can anyone else confirm this with theirs, both three and non three handsets.
Will the LTE option come after three launch LTE to prevent users accidentally selecting it maybe?
Thanks

So it appears that the phone does support LTE after checking the band's in the service menu, LTE is listed, panic over!

Thanks for that, I don't get the last option must be the three software on here that has disabled it.
Could you plead check to see if your configuration screen in services look like this below, you can see it in the services menu, type *#*#7378423#*#* then go to service info then config.
Thanks

Yep its all the same except mine just says boot loader unlockable YES

Mine also doesn't have the lte option on three rom. I presume they will push an update out and hype how they've 'unlocked its potential' or some other silly hype.

Mine doesnt show it either on 3. Anyone spoke to them yet?

Cheers all! It looks like they will push an update at some point, anyone know how to check if we are receiving UltraFast Internet? DC-HSDPA?

I'm on three but got a sim free phone, with my three sim I don't have a LTE option however put in my EE sim and I get the LTE option. Must be a setting thing that the network needs to push out.

Its a profile thing, when you insert the sim for the first time it downloads carrier specific settings, with my three sim I get no LTE but put a EE sim in the phone it downloads new settings and LTE appears and the phone shows LTE in the signal bar

So when three launch LTE we will receive new Sims then.

Possibly or the existing SIM cards will be provisioned for LTE and just work. A simple OTA update (via SMS) can adjust settings on a SIM card.
I really hope the existing cards will work as I have some PAYG cards and don't want to mess around changing them.

*#*#7378423#*#* doesnt work on my phone. Comes up with some error??? (after pressing call button)
When is LTE supposed to be launched on 3 ?

Don't press the call button, as long as you have inputted the code correctly after the last * it should take you into the services menu.
3 have just said this year, hopefully it will be asap, but their Ultra-fast internet (DC-HSDPA) is out now in nearly 80% of the UK which gives us nearly similar speeds to EE's LTE. Do a coverage check on their network to see if you are in the Ultrafast area.

[Q] i9305N LTE not working

Hi there! I'm sorry if there already is such a thread but I couldn't find anything quite like this.
I bought this i9305N second hand and it had the famous IMEI problem 00/02. I went to a service center and there they were able to restore the IMEI of the device. And the phone was able to connect to the 3G as normal but not the 4G network. I've never seen the 4G working on this phone and have no idea what to try. What I tried was:
different modem firmwares.
flashed CM 10.1 and again tried those modems.
tried to set the phone to lte only via the *#197328640# code.
I think that in Sweden this phone is supposed to work on only the tele2 and telenor 4g network. I've tried sim cards from both operators.
Has anyone experienced something like this? Does anyone have an idea what is happening and what I can try?
Thanks in advance.

Does yr provider support 4G?yr sim card support 4G? If all above Yes then yr area doesn't support 4G or the coverage of 4G very poor till none.

my operator supports 4G. There is 4G coverage and I've tried cards from every carrier here on contract and prepaid.

Try a phone wipe and install the stock firmware for your network .

Just out of curiosity, have you tried cards confirmed to be on 4G-enabled contracts? I had to call Tele2 and ask them to change my contract over to a 4G one before I would receive 4G speeds. Another silly thing you could check is if the phone is actually connecting to the 4G APN, for Tele2 this would be 4g.tele2.se.

Hi! This is the thing! I havent found a card with confirmed 4G on it. I was told that sim cards on contract have 4G enabled on them. I was wondering if there is some sort of a tool to scan networks around and see information about them like what freq and speed etc... I am using my comviq card now in the phone with the apn that you mentioned and that was set automatically as the phone is with the tele2 firmware. The most brutal thing was when I went to the tele2 office and asked for a 4g activated sim to try on my phone and they said that they don't have any!!!! I went to the telenor shop and when I asked for a demo sim card with 4G so that I can test my phone and he gave me a 3G prepaid card. After 10 minutes of changing settings and stuff on my phone I asked him if that card has 4G on it at all he said - no, its just a 3G. I am going a bit of topic but my point is that it is extremely hard for me to find out where the problem is.

My point is how are you planning to use 4G on the phone if you do not have a 4G contract? I mean, why all the fuss if you cannot use it anyway?

I want to be sure that the phone works on 4G after the reparation before getting a 4G contract.

Find someone with a 4G contract and ask to test his SIM in your phone.

I had a friend enable lte on his contract and then tried the sim on my phone. LTE didn't kick in. I don't know what it could be. Any suggestions please?

Hi.
I live in the "kära grannlandet" Finland and i had to call my operator to put my i9305 as my active phone.
(They change the ownership of the phone on their computer)
I bought my phone 2hand but it was factory sealed new. operator locked to the same operator that i use.
The phone was "active" to somebody else without 4G so thats why it didnt work for me.
Hope this helped at all..
Lycka till!

My friend had similar issues with his S2, I went into the phone options menu using the #xx# number and the phone itself was not set to lte mode. I am sure you can find the menu codes somewhere on the forums as I don't have them memorized. It is worth checking if you have not done so.

I am in the same boat as you. I am in the LA area, and I had good signal in my neighborhood too. However, I can't connect with LTE either, even when I stand next to the tower.
The most weird thing is: I went to the store fore return. When I hit the store, my phone works with LTE outside of the store. I have to go home. Now my phone still has no LTE connection.
It looks like that it is Sprint or HTC software issue. I had no clue what to do though.

Call Sprint customer care and have them check your UICC ID under settings/about/phone identity. I had exchanged my phone and this number didn't update and caused me to not get 4g when others had it. Its the same number as your SIM ID and is required to match your phone. Seems to be a common issue with setting up the HTC One since is has a SIM Card. They may argue with you that its for International only....tell them I understand that but you have seen others with this problem and that their UICC ID numbers did not match on the account and that its required to make 4g work.

Ok, thanks

Yea you have to call them with confidence that you know what the issues are. And in markets they have not launched yet just explain that data is very bad on this phone and you get a lot of dropped calls. Then just ask them to please verify the numbers on your account with the phone....and especially the UICC ID.

I live in LA as well, and I only get LTE in a few different specific areas. Should I call them to make sure all of my numbers are correct? Is there anything else I can do?

Yes. Only explanation is that it's somehow controlled by the SIM card. One that's acting normal is on TMobile and the other is on AT&T. Also, both are XT1053, but one shows 4G and another shows 4G LTE. Has to be SIM-controlled... I hate AT&T!
EDIT: nope... not it.

Yes. This is what's driving me nuts. Although one is completely virgin and another one I've been using.

So if you swap the sims between the two phones the odd behavior doesn't also change? I know certain providers like to specify what the phone should indicate, this really sounds like of those cases.

I haven't swapped but saw the other phone show same 4g LTE icon. I guess AT&T is forcing it to always on.

If you want the somewhat technical reason, inside the SystemUI.apk, Motorola has modified it and added a bools.xml which basically turns on and off many carrier related stuff.
For example, Sprint sim cards change the signal icons to 6 bars, verizon 5 bars, and if you had an AT&T phone, the AT&T icons.
Just thought I would add this.:good:

That's what I figured. I also thought that the TMobile version would be immune from silly AT&T crap like this, but guess not.

Bought A HTC One on ebay..having problems

I bought a htc one on ebay and I was able to activate the phone no problem and it works but im having a few issues. The biggest issue is that the phone network operator name is HTC and not sprint. So when you are at your lock screen it says htc at the top instead of sprint. Then I noticed that under mobile network settings I don't have roaming control or data guard or any of those settings....they simply are not there. I'm guessing I don't see those options because of the network operator name is htc and not sprint. Ive done a factory reset and no go....did the whole prl and profile updates.
Is this phone unlocked maybe? It has a sprint sim card. Anyone have any clue as to what is going on?

It sounds like it maybe a unlocked HTC One I'm not sure to be honest with you, does it register Sprints LTE network?
