I know this has been covered a million times but saying data will only be Edge/2g when doing this. I was looking at the GSM Unlocked Nexus and the specs are almost identical with the the one exception. Has anyone tired the MT4GS on ATT and confirmed it not working 3g+ Data??
Tech Specs For Galaxy Nexus GSM/HSPA+
NETWORK
GSM/EDGE/GPRS (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
3G (850, 1700, 1900, 2100 MHz)
HSPA+ 21
T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 1900 / 2100 / 1700
850 MHz is the missing 3G MHz, is that what ATT is using for 3G in the US because this shows using both 850 and 1900
Frequencies used on the AT&T Network
Frequency Protocol Class
850 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE 2G
1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE 2G
850 MHz UMTS/HSPA 3G
1900 MHz UMTS/HSPA 3G
700 MHz LTE 4G
If so is there any way I can find out what my area is MHz wise.
Thanks,
Randy
I'd say no either way. I've never seen a Tmobile phone compatible with AT&T 3G bands
I read on Phandroid that the unlocked Nexus did fine on HSPA+.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
The Galaxy Nexus they sell in the play store says its compatable with att and tmo and I checked the specs and MHz wise there the same except the 850MHz. Further checking I found a freq. map and it looks like in my area of TN its 1900MHz 3g for att. It was a semi educated guess on it working. Guess either need to find a friend that uses att or get a prepaid sim for a month.
The unlocked GNex GSM phone is "Pentaband", which means it can use the HSPA+ frequencies on AT&T, T-Mobile, and nearly every other GSM provider in the world. There are only a few phones with this capability.
Well it appears Samsung and Nokia are using the Pentaband theory. That must have been why I was reading of people getting the Note working on ATT.
Thanks

One good development is that T-Mobile is busy refarming some of their spectrum and that is giving people moving from AT&T that previously would only get EDGE data speeds access to HSPA+ now. For instance, AT&T iPhones can now get HSPA+ high speed data on T-Mobile in Atlanta and a few other metro areas due to the refarming. T-Mobile will be doing this in most areas in the coming year as part of their spectrum moving to accommodate LTE and make their service more usable to a larger number of devices.

They should be getting it in a year or two.

You will only get edge on AT&T. Same with any T-Mobile phone.

Have you ran a speed test on it?
I was looking at the gsmarena specs page for the one s and it showed no 1700 band
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_s-4574.php
I'm a little confused as to how fast 3G or 4g is because sometimes people call it 3.5g for tmobile. Can someone break it down real quick for me in terms of real life kb/s? I was thinking about the one x as well and someone over there said they got 3G speeds with a certain type of microsim.... Even though it doesn't have the 1700 band. Thankssss
The one X gets 3G on T-Mobile in some California markets and that's it. The One S on T-Mobile has the 1700 band. T-Mobile does not have 4G either, it's 3.5G. It is a 42mbps phone and in Chicago yesterday I saw speeds of 20mbps but 42mbps HSPA+ isn't in every market yet. In areas without 42mbps HSPA+, I get speeds around 6mbps.

What is the highest speed you get if you disable 4g on the US-version? Do you still get H+, only H, only #g or what?
Thanks
H+ I believe.
Thanks, would be great if someone could confirm by actually turning off 4g and see if they still get H+

why would h+ be affected by your 4g setting?
Just a rumour I read. H+ is considered LTE on the US version. Hope it's wrong.

No its not. HSPA+ is not considered LTE in any country. Some countries consider HSPA+ to be 4g, but that's not accurate. All LTE is 4g, not all 4G is LTE.

Back when the iPhone 4S first came out, AT&T made the handset show "4G" when it was using HSPA+. this confused some users into thinking the 4S was an LTE device. I wonder if OP is referring to something like that?

Possibly. This is why I mentioned that some countries inaccurately referred to HSPA+ as 4G and that although all LTE is 4G, not all 4G is LTE. I want to be clear that 4G, LTE and HSPA+ are not synonymous. they are all different things.
Essentially:
2G = GPRS and (2.5G) Edge
3G = 3G, (3.5G) HSPA, HSPA+, DC-HSPA
4G = LTE, WiMax

AS OP my main concearn was that I would not get H+ from a US-version here in Norway (have imported, not recieved yet), and would be stuck with very low 3G-speeds. Now I have seen other in Norway reporting at least 6 mbps speeds, possibly more. I get around 12-13 on H+ with my old SGS2, and would hope Nexus 5 with LTE disabled would get me the same speeds. LTE is not very important for me.

Yes it has h+, when ever I'm in a non LTE area that's what it defaults to. Granted I'm in the USA on att and your in Norway so I'm not sure what there H bands are, look it up and reference the n5 specs to get your answer.

Yep, there are only 2 models of N5. D820 US and D821 RoW. The only difference is the LTE frequencies they can handle. H+ works on both models across the same frequencies.

You should get similar or faster H+ speeds than your galaxy s2.

Here's a comparison for you.
North America (D820) Nexus 5 model:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
CDMA: Band Class: 0/1/10
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/19
LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41
Outside North America (D821) Nexus 5 model:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8
LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20
As you can see, all the WCDMA bands on the D821 exist on the D820, which means you will still get 3G, HSPA, HSPA+, DC-HSPA
Thanx guys!
While specs says: HSDPA 14.4 Mbps, HSUPA 5.76 Mbps, I get about 6mbps DL and 0.3mbps UL in speedtest app.
What's your speed, is there a way to tweak build.prop to get better speed?

High speed mentioned in phone spec is the high speed phone can handle. But your service provider has another maximum speed limit. You can know it by contacting your service provider. I think your service provider has a slower maximum limit.
i have a question, reading around the web that our device have hspa only (14 mbps), other write that it have hspa+ (42 mbps)... so i ask to you all... i have or not hspa+? (my htc one s is the s4 processor model)
