I picked up the HTC One X from rogers on the 19th and unlocked it and set it up with telus.
I'm looking for anyone else who may have done this cause I have a few questions
When I'm in an LTE area my phone will switch to the LTE network no problem but my download speeds are only about 9mbps I know with my HTC Amaze on the HSPA+ I would be able to get around 16mbps download.
Is this just something with Telus LTE network being fairly new? has anyone else got any faster speeds on LTE?
Other than that and the non-removable battery this phone is the bomb I love it not to sure how i'm going to be able to get by with out being able to swap the battery but I'm going to try. I had 3 extra batteries with my Amaze lol.
Just out of curiosity, how did you go about unlocking it? I have had some trouble getting unlock codes for the one I bought. Any help you can give would be great, thanks!

MobileInCanada has unlock codes for the Rogers One X. I haven't unlocked mine, but I have used them in the past, and they've always been reliable. Codes for Rogers phones do tend to be a bit slow to come through them though.

I unlocked my Rogers HTC One X using Cellunlocker, it was ~$8 which is the cheapest I have seen. It took about 2 hours to get the code in the email.

Keep in mind that the HSPA speed on Telus is rated at 42Mbps, while the same on Rogers is 1/2 the speed, or 21Mbps. This is probably why your speed is much slower.
Make sure your APN information is correct, too.
Peter
P.S. I used http://www.cellunlockcode.com/ (cell unlock code) to unlock mine. Like others, it took a few hours. Cost was $12
I've also unlocked my device for Telus network. I got 14Mbps once but average around 9Mbps as well. I don't get consistent LTE 4G coverage however and mostly receive HSPA+ 4g.
Just verifying that if I pick up this Rogers HTC ONE X - I'll be able to use it on AT&T's LTE network once I unlock it, yes?
I called Rogers and the guy told me the phone was the Quad Core version and that it may or may not support AT&T's LTE

The Rogers rep you spoke to is incorrect. The Rogers version is indeed the same LTE version those in the USA will be getting and will work on AT&T given you unlock, get the right SIM, and set up your apn respectively.
I believe there are other members that currently do this.
Just an update on this after further investigation I found that for some reason when the phone shows 4g its actually connected to the hspa network and when the phone shows LTE it is actually only hspda+ network that it's connected to. I'm not sure why it's like this but for some reason the phone won't connect to the telus LTE network.
The specs for the phone show that it should be able to connect to the telus LTE network but I have also read somewhere that rogers might have disabled part of the radio that wasn't being used on there network. Maybe once we get s-off and can flash different radios this will be fixed
Did anyone figure out how to fix this issue? i have a rogers htc one x that i am using on telus network, and my phone always shows 4G, i've never seen the LTE.

Are you sure you're in an LTE covered area? If you are make sure you input the telus HSPA+<E apn. Look for it on Google. I've seen LTE on my unlocked One X but only in Vancouver.

I'm also using an unlocked Rogers phone on Telus.
I've had trouble at first getting it to connect to the LTE network. When I changed the Network mode setting under Mobile data to GSM/CDMA/LTE auto, it wouldn't stick.
To fix this I changed the same setting in the info menu by dialing *#*#4636#*# --> Phone info --> Set preferred network mode --> GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto.
After doing this, I can use the regular menu to either turn on LTE or limit the phone to GSM/WCDMA.
This setting clearly works and when it says LTE I believe it is connected to the LTE network. However, my DL speeds seem to be capped at about 7-9 Mbps too. My UL speeds are around 20 Mbps. In 4G mode I get around 8/3 down/up.
Being on all the networks that we have in Canada.the highest LTE.speed I've seen so far is on Bell. 16mb per seconds and even lower speed with Telus or Rogers.

Traded my Inspire 4g for a unlocked SGS 4G and it works decent. Just disconnects from the AT&T network a-lot, but is there any way to get 3g speeds and better reception so i wont have to restart my phone every hour. i know AT&T runs on 850mhz and i believe 1900mhz but no matter what bands i change my phone to im stuck with 2G.
i used to have my sgs4g on at&t then i switched to simple mobile.what apn r u using? what i recommend you do to help with the connection is download apn manager from the marketplace it comes preloaded with a bunch of at&t apn's and see which one works best with u, or u can take it to an at&t store and ask them to set it up for u using their apn. hope this helps
Tried all the diffrent APN's i could find, it goes 2G or 1G.
i love the phone just wish it worked on at least 3g, if it did i would be content in life.

I unlocked an SGS4G for a friend about 2 months ago and he was on the AT&T network getting 3G speeds. I didn't have to configure any APN specifically. Put the SIM card in and it recognized right away.
This is in Vegas though, so not sure if it's a reception/tower issue where you are.
I did the same thing to a Vibrant for a friend as well. Same story, 3G coverage.
I can verify that 3g does work for AT&T on this phone. Im using it right now. I didnt have to do anything special except unlock it. I dont ever have to restart my phone either.
I have ALWAYS had very poor AT&T service in my house, from my iphone 3g, iphone 4, iphone 4s....as soon as you pull in my neighborhood AT&T service just goes to ***
I got the One X however and realized I can pick up LTE here when the radio first turns on! I can put it on airplane mode, take it off...and I'll get LTE for about a minute. I get 10mbps down instead of the 1mbps when it's just on "4G"
However..this can barely make it through a SpeedTest as it's 1 or 2 bars of service...then it switches from 2 bar 4G LTE to the 3 or 4 bar "4G"
The phone is thinking I get better service with just the plain 4G so it forces me to connect to that....in reality it's a tonnnn slower and much worse.
Is there any APN setting or any root hacks to force the LTE connection? I get LTE pretty much everywhere in town (las vegas) but like I said my neighborhood doesn't seem to be on AT&T's maps!
If you go to your dialer and type in *#*#4636#*#* it will take to a screen where down a bit from the middle is the option "select network type" tap that and there is and "lte only" option. I have read that this works to force only hspa+ but can't confirm it for forcing lte. Give it a shot though.

This does NOT work for forcing either HSPA or LTE. It always reverts back to auto. AT&T does not let you choose your network, period. We will not be able to choose the network unless and until we get the Rogers ROM working on the AT&T units (or until someone builds a custom ROM giving us the functionality of Rogers).

Sure it does... rogers devices and debloated ROMs are the only ones that can be forced into LTE mode. It's AT&T ROMs that can't

If you are rooted and have an unlocked bootloader, try a version of CleanRom or a stock rooted rom which is not an AT&T base. I have been able to lock my radio to LTE (only when not making calls that is) with CR V and I am on AT&T. The only thing is that when you make a call you get bumped to 3g/HSPA because AT&T doesn't do voice over LTE
Hi,
I've the verizon m8 outside the Us. In my country the LTE network has started to work during the past week and its 1800 mhz/ channel 3.
My htc is s-off, root ofcourse, viper rom but I cant get any reception with LTE!
accordint to htc sites, the verison m8 is truely support 1800 mhz,
So how can I get lte on my phone?
And please don't blow my mind with "why did you bought verizon model if you're not using verizon", It doesn't matter now. I've already bought my m8 and it's from verizon, it was cheaper to buy.
Nobody knows?
Europe freinds?
I'm almost in the same boat as you, I'm using Verizon m8, rooted, soff, supercid and then I installed android revolution hd 8.1 international version. I got lte band 4 working ok as well as calls, sms, mms, e.t.c.

Hey,
Just got back from Europe. I wasn't able to get LTE over there, only hsupa/hsdpa. I installed nv rom and was able to change the bands, and got my data working. Now that I'm back in the U.S. (as of 12 horus ago), I'm unable to get service, go figure. I was using the newest verizon radios and they worked fine.

sure it does if when doing your research like I did on mine I see it works on Band 4 which is T-Mobiles band for LTE. I get speeds up to 36dl and 19up with my ONe.
What are your speeds? Does your wifes Nexus show H+ and 3g symbols?

I am in NJ
But I think I got it figured out - You are right it works in LTE - when i had 4G on screen i used the app you send me link for and that app shows LTE as network. So the bottom line is that 4G stands for LTE in stock rom and it is possible that Nexus has a stronger radio than One so in some areas i do not get LTE.
Anyway Thanks a Lot for your help - got a little worried ( Got the phone just yesterday). I think i will keep it stock for a little while before i will root it
The radio performance seems the same for me as my N5, I'm living in NYC.
Do note that "LTE" on a Nexus 5 is displayed as"4G" on the OnePlus One. Ensure that your APN is on T-Mobile 4G LTE IPv6 (fast.t-mobile.com), for some reason when I started my phone it was on MetroPCS instead.

Yeah I had the same issue with it being on MetroPCS. I have since deleted that APN

But I think I got it figured out - You are right it works in LTE - when i had 4G on screen i used the app you send me link for and that app shows LTE as network. So the bottom line is that 4G stands for LTE in stock rom and it is possible that Nexus has a stronger radio than One so in some areas i do not get LTE.
Anyway Thanks a Lot for your help - got a little worried ( Got the phone just yesterday). I think i will keep it stock for a little while before i will root it

nah root it its more fun that way and fyi they just came out with an update to 4.4.4 stock from what I have been reading. I saw this posted in earlier.... I guess you will be getting an update soon.
One suggestion if you plan on rooting and unlocking bootloader I suggest doing it now since it will wipe everything when rooting... There is a method where you wont lose data but it will not unlock your bootloader

To OP: How old is your SIM card? Have you ever received LTE signal on a previous device? I receive LTE on TMobile 4G perfectly fine, I just wish the "4G" showed up as "LTE" as my Nexus 5 did. I guess I could personally go skin it to say LTE instead but its just cosmetics.
And I completely agree with unlocking the bootloader, even if OP doesn't have any intentions to rooting/flashing, at least do it now so when you do decide to do it then you will be able to back everything up without having your device get wiped.
Edit: OP also go into dialer and type in *#*#4636#*#* then go into phone information -> scroll down -> under set preferred network type: LTE/GSM auto (PRL).

Thanks for all the info - changed network to set preferred network type: LTE/GSM
My concern is llosing warranty, every phone i had was rooted - this is just new toy so I am concern about loosing warranty
In your experience what is the best way to unlock/ root - saw few all in one tolls on the forum - any advise
PS: how can Thank to all of you for help?
Found the thanks button - thanked all of you Guys for help
I thought the same thing (coming from a Nexus 5). I was worried that the OnePlus One did not support LTE but it definitely does. For some reason Cyanogen did not include a separate LTE icon as what's found on the Nexus 5 and most other LTE capable phones.

For sure its weird how they didn't adopt "LTE" and used "4G" instead. You can always go and change it to "LTE" with some apk hacking. Pretty easy to do.

So does your phone get "4G" now? You can verify in Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> Mobile network type -> should be LTE if the top right says "4G"
The best way to unlock/root is to NOT use a toolkit. Yeah a toolkit is easier, but honestly unlocking a bootloader is not hard and the skills you obtain by doing it yourself are important. You won't lose warranty, you can always relock it and use the bit mod and OnePlus will never know. Plus OnePlus encourages the whole custom rom scene since thats why they have a Development forum on their official forums.

I called AT&T to have the IMEI changed over to the OPO since I was on the Nexus5. CyanogenMod doesn't technically come with LTE icon, personally I can careless but it does look nice at top lol. And you're correct on my device under Mobile Network Type it shows LTE but icon on top shows 4G.
4G is LTE
H+ is HSPA+
3G is ... 3G
edge is edge :crying:
The first speed test in my sig is my LTE speeds using my OPO... Pretty typical, maybe a little faster than my old Galaxy Note 2. :good:
how does one change it to the LTE symbol?
I'm just curious. If you know 4G means LTE, whats the difference if it says LTE? Not trying to be an A-hole...just curious.
If you run the CM11 nightlies on the OnePlus One the phone will show LTE in an LTE area. Only the stock CM11S shows LTE as 4G.
I would think that people on xda are more well informed.
Carriers like to change the official terms to make you "buy" into a "technological" leap.
Most of the roms outside North America uses 4G (instead of LTE). This is all about marketing.
HSPA(+) are 3rd generation networks while LTE is the 4th generation.
back in the day:
iPhone = edge speed 2.75G
iPhone 3G = HSPA 3G (7.2) speed
iPhone 4 = HSPA+ 3.5G (carriers in north america tried really hard to change this to 4G)
iPhone 5 = LTE 4G
See this article (how At&t tried to play this game)
search on google as i m not able to post links yet.

I agree fully with Line 1 - especially here we should do more homework before posting...
my oneplus signal is terrible compared to my n5
Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
mine is better then g2. Do note that your phone may or may not have the bands your provider has for lte. This you should have checked before you got the phone.
Also delete apn and reboot.
If it works better something went wrong there. If it doesnt check your providers website if setings are all correct.
If they are you might need a new sim/ or lte enabled via your provider.
I want to know how good is your signal strength, with data turned on and off. My One has terrible signal strength in the GTA, where there are plenty of Bell Towers. I don't know if this is a hardware issue, or a software issue with CM11s 33r. I would like to know your experiences.
Don't know about the GTA but in Montreal, i get full signal bars and full LTE outside. Inside it can go down to one bar.
Hi,
I'm with Rogers in montreal and the 3G is very good, similar to my old nexus 3, but LTE is low in most places and easy lost inside of buildings. Also it doesn't switch fast when lost LTE. Since I don't use data very much, I leave it on 3G and I put the LTE togle in the status bar to swith it if Ineed fast data (and if I got a signal of course). Try to put it on 3G if your reception is very low. I check on the web ant this problem is common with all LTE phones because there are less towers with LTE than 3G.

Hi - Using Rogers in the North York area I am pleasantly surprised how well the OPO picks up signal. My older iPhone 5 had less reception, though it may have at times shown more signal bars. The OPO has been good signal wise in the GTA for me on Rogers.

what kind of lte speeds do you get? When I have it on, they are reach a mx of 30mbs, while HSPA + reaches 4 max. do not know why

strange, on average I get 1 bar inside, 2 bars outside.
There's actually a Canadian OnePlus One thread already, check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/canadian-oneplus-owners-t2885996
I live in the GTA and Markham, always full bars of LTE downtown, but occassionally 2 bars LTE. I always have H+ wherever I go, but when I take the GO Train, occasionally I would be on GPRS (2G). In the University I am stuck on H+ but sometimes 1-2 bars LTE.
I don't get bad signal at all. 33R modem.

Yes, it does give me a reception boost. However, my HPSA + speeds are terbbile

Rogers. Sure it can easily be normal. At home I sometimes only get 1-2 LTE bars.
the strange this is outside I can only get a max of 2 LTE bars....
When turning LTE off, I get great reception, but my HSPA speeds are terrible, like 4mbps

Chinese OPO or International OPO?
I ask because of the preloaded modem built into the phone. If you came with Chinese OPO, just flash the latest modem on your phone using fastboot a few times to make sure you wipe off the original ColorOS modem.
Works on my friend's OPO too, and he's on Rogers. He's got great signal now.

I ma using the international One Plus One. I am currently using CM11 nightlies. The thing is turning off LTE altogether and switching to a 3G network gives me great service. But when I switch to LTE, even with LTE turned off, my service is terrible.

Go into fastboot and flash the modems in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/ref-oneplus-one-modem-collection-t2858734
Try them out, look at the chart at the bottom to compare which ones you should try. Same colors mean you only need to try each color once. This does not go the same for 33R and CM11 M8. They have different CRC32's so treat them differently.

Thanks for the suggestion, but you think the modem is my issue? I treid flashing several already, including the 33r, 25r and Color OS. I am currently on the Cm11 nightlies, which have their own radio. Do you think I should RMA my device?

I don't think you should, modems aren't chips that easily go bad just like that.
You could also hack your modem if you want...

I will stay on the safe side, do not want to ruin my phone further. Will Test the CM nightly modem for a bit, and hopefully by then One Plus releases a new OTA. Really considering returning the phone.
By the way, how is your signal with LTE turned off, but in your mobile networks settings you are still on an LTE network

Have you tried another phone with your SIM in it? Did you get a brand new LTE sim from Vigin ? I know bell had different sims.
