How's it going everyone I recently decided to get rid of Verizon n the galaxy nexus and bought a HTC one x..
I absolutely love the phone. My question is looking on the coverage map it says att has 4g lte service yet my speeds are much lower than what I had with Verizon. Is it att or is it the phone?

You are not in LTE. The indicator will say 4G with a small LTE below it. You are in just plan HSDPA in the screen shot you sent. Which is really 3G. Much faster than VZ 3G. Ha. When you get in an LTE area you will see the icon on the bar and you will see the speed big time!
That's weird because from the coverage map it says we have lte

Not sure what to tell you but you will see the indicator change when you are in LTE. May want to head closer to town or something and see of you see it change.
Appreciate it

Just because you are in LTE coverage area doesn't mean you automatically get LTE. I'm in LTE area as well but half the time my phone is not on LTE. AT&T's LTE towers are still sparse and coverage is spotty at the best. The buggy radio on HOX doesn't help either.

The CSR is clueless. Your phone will say 4G LTE if you are connected to LTE signal.
I had that problem when I picked up my hox they had to reset the apn or sumn to get the lte to kick in take it n to a att store

Indeed it wouldn't hurt to check the APN, and also check that LTE is on your account. If your account is not provisioned for LTE, you won't get it.
That said, the coverage maps have always been crap, and are just an approximation of where you get certain coverages. Its no guarantee of LTE, and things like landscape, buildings, etc. can always affect reception. This has been the case since 3G, and probably before that, where people did not have the reception claimed in the coverage maps.
Do i have to go to the at&t store or can they do it over the phone? Reset the apn that is.. Also now that I think about it when I went to Boston I also did not have lte. hmmmmm damn at&t customer service. Was hoping they would be better than verizon.
I went in so I could be like look your display has lte why doesn't mine

I just want to avoid having to put my phone back to stock take it in than redo everything if possible.
It has to say LTE. My phone as an example.

If you call in to customer care, they can also make sure that you have an LTE data plan over the phone so you don't have to go in to the store.
Although from personal experience (I worked in an AT&T store) in-store service and advice is better than over the phone. I'm sorry the CSR over the phone gave you bogus information.

Also here is speed test with LTE.

Check the following :
1. Your phone has the default PTA APN configured on your phone. Don't use other APNs if you want LTE.
2. You have the microSIM from AT&T, not the old SIM you trimed down yourself
If both are true and you get 4G (non-LTE) data service just fine, there is no need to go down to AT&T store for anything becasue your account has been properly authorized (otherwise, you won't even get any data service at all). All you need to do is travel to different locations of your city, reboot your phone and see if you ever see the 4G LTE icon show up.
Gotta assume since they came from Verizon they had to get a sim from att or dealer

Ok.. So I did the reset... Also checked online at my data plan and it is set for LTE. Looks like I have the pleasure in callin at&t again ..
Have you tried just going to a different location? Go to the ATT store and see if their demo phone is on LTE.
Have att sim n I've traveled never had lte went from va to mass

after rooting my inspire, i tried putting my friends (t-mobile) SIM card into the phone... the phone worked, but there was no data, there was a "E" in the notification bar, but i do not know what that means...
any idea what the "E" means, and more importantly, how to get the data working??
E means edge...that is data..just really slow data.
Or you know what...I could be wrong, just going about what my vibrant shows.

hmm, i tried opening the browser, but nothing seemed to work... any other ideas, anyone?
E is Edge which is 2G and is really slow compared to 3G. If you have an AT&T Inspire you might have to change the data APNs so that it will work with T-Mobile.
Another thing is that AT&T's 3G and T-Mobile's 3G are different frequencies. So with an AT&T phone on T-Mobile, the best you can get is Edge. Same with T-Mobile phones on AT&T.
Hope this helped... a little.
U will have to input the apn settings. Further then that best u will get will be edge due to differing frequency that tmo uses.

Im pretty sure you're gonna be stuck with Edge as in the bands are different for 3G and Hspa
I have a friend that has an Atrix 4g unlocked on T-Mobile, and he has claimed to have gotten a 4g signal in one fringe area. He said that it was very spotty at best but it worked. I suspect it was some kind or roam signal he caught, or he was delusional. But Edge is definitely the best you will get since the frequencies are different. There is no fix for that, it is a hardware thing.
Oh wow... that really sucks. Thanks for the answers though. What if I root it or that still wouldn't be able to help? Edge is pretty ****ty service for such a nice phone, which is why I got it... plus I got a hell of a deal on it lol

Atrix 2 Unlocked No Signal
I have successfully removed the network lock on an Atrix 2 but gets absolutely no signal/emergency calls only with a T-Mobile sim. When I search for Network providers only AT&T shows. I was wondering if the radio was locked for some reason. Anyone else had this problem?
(For those of you who like to throw out the simplest ideas: Yes T-Mobile has service in the area. Yes: I have done a reset and chaged sims etc..)

That was my thought too. What plan are you on? I read that you can use their 30 dallar unlimited plan when you activate a new sim card.
I still have the hope that at some point after the BL gets unlocked we might get a hacked radio kernel of sorts that will allow use of t mobile bands..... The global 2 did something like this to allow use of t mobile...... One can hope.....

You can get 4G on T-Mobile, but only in certain areas as of right now. Pretty soon though, after T-Mobile starts utilizing the frequencies gained from the deal going through, you should start seeing more 4G in more places. But we have to wait and see if it actually happens.

I live in Vietnam, and I have a problem with Vinaphone network, added APN, but can only use HSPA (4G icon).
If I switch to GPRS (E icon), it says connected, but I cannot ping pass.
Other network (Viettel) is normal.
Even if the bootloader gets unlocked I still believe it would be a hardware issue not an issue of the radio software. They use the same 2g frequency so you can still get edge, but when it comes to 3g they operate on different frequencies. Some phones are made with the hardware for both frequencies though. My Samsung Vibrant (Tmobile phone) actually had the hardware to be used on AT&T 3g! The radio software was an issue unfortunately and it didn't switch well between 2g and 3g, tried all sorts of radio software but had no luck back then.
From what people have experienced by taking this phone to AT&T though, its looking like the Atrix 2 doesn't have the right hardware for the Tmobile 3g frequency.
I'm not one to say something is impossible though. Who knows.. maybe through the failed merger of AT&T and TMobile, TMobile was somehow able to gain access to some of AT&T's 3g towers (doubtful), since they did gain coverage through the breakup agreement after the merger failed.

In certain markets, they will get part of the frequency that AT&T uses for 4G. I forgot what bands exactly, but if you do a Google search, you should get more info.

I'm using unlocked Atrix 2 on T-Mobile. And I did get 4G signal when I was in downtown Bellevue, WA. I didn't believe so I ran few speedtests, best I got on Download was 1501kbps, and 1416kbps Upload, and it wasn't roaming. So yes, it works in few places right now.
Idk if this has been confirmed, I searched a little and didn't see anything, I have an unlocked AT&T HTC One X on T-Mobile prepaid unlimited $70 plan and just started getting LTE today at home with it, speeds went up from a best of 14mbps on H+ to 22mbps the first time I ran it on LTE. This is going to be nice being that for some reason they never block my tethering so I use it as my home internet lol.
I can't believe the upload speeds, I used to never get more than 3mbps now its hitting 16mbps lol. Hooray for unlimited uncapped 4G LTE for $70 a month, and I've ran it up to 35 gigs one month so it really is uncapped.

Lucky duck! Does anyone know if there's a website somewhere that's keeping track of this kind of data? You can't get it from T-Mobile themselves unfortunately. I'd consider leaving Straight Talk for T-Mobile if I knew I would have working data coverage in most of the places I go with LTE in my home town. I hate having to wait for wifi to do anything big. The One X in unsupported areas is so slow you couldn't google to save your life. At least with AT&T I get reasonable speeds everywhere I go except tiny little towns.

Following up on your experience with TMO and One X
I was really glad to see your post about the One X getting LTE service on T-Mobile. I just switched to T-Mobile from AT&T with quite a few phones in my family (cut my bill almost in half!) To make a long story short I popped the T-Mobile SIM in my iPhone 5 and connected straight to the LTE network. Needless to say I was surprised because T-Mobile does not make any mention of having LTE in the Sacramento, CA area, but two reps did confirm that my LTE service was here to stay. Unfortunately my iPhone 5 and a Galaxy SIII and Note II (all originally purchased for AT&T and then unlocked for T-Mobile) seem to revert to the EDGE network and then get permanently stuck there after about ten minutes of LTE. Have you noticed that happening with your One X? I've always been a big fan of the One X and I would love to have one, but I'm not sure if it supports the HSPA+ 42 network and or how well it keeps a lock on the LTE networks for T-Mobile. I'd love to hear how you like it after having a few weeks to try it out.
Thanks and sorry it's a bit off-topic, just wanna see how the One X holds up on T-Mobile's network!

I just sold my galaxy s2 (t989) because not only was it slower than my htc amaze, I just couldnt stand touchwiz. I cant understand why anyone would want to own a samsung galaxy smartphone, easier to brick, no access to hboot, nice screen, hardily any widgets, lags when switching apps, I dunno, I just realized I made a mistake trading my amaze for an s2, and I almost got a one s, but my dad has one, and I figured he would always be cool with trading me whatever I bought, so I took a $250 risk with an Att one x unlocked. I had no idea that it even had lte! Not to mention that I didnt think tmobile had lte cranked up in my city (Jax,Fl). Im very much stoked with a really nice phone that downloaded venomxl rom in less than five minutes.
I live north of Atlanta and switched to T-Mobile several months ago. They rolled our LTE this summer and so far the speeds have been great. I regularly get 25-35 mbps down and 15-20 mbps up. I only get HSPA while in my apartment, but am still able to achieve speeds in the high singles to mid-teens. Coverage here is decent although I have noticed several dead spots, most noticeably along GA400 north of town which is a major highway. Kind of unforgivable but I am hoping the spectrum purchased in the MetroPCS acquisition will better coverage since they had a big presence here as well. All in all, I am happy with the service and glad I switched from AT&T.
I get good speeds when I'm outside.
I'm on an good signal area yet I have basically unusable data inside.
I actually just wrote T-Mo a letter requesting an ETF Waiver because of the bad service.
I almost got fired because of missing a text...

So, I excitedly purchased a Nexus S 4g off eBay the other day thinking, hey it's a CDMA phone it might work on the Verizon network. Now I'm not so sure. I'd even be willing to use the Sprint network but those guys just told me Sprint has no sims and the only option is to open a 2 year contract agreement to use that phone. Sounds a little crazy to me. I'm not willing or able to do that at this time.
I need a no-contract phone carrier for the Nexus S 4g. Are there any no-contract carriers in the USA that will provide service?
My wife uses her Nexus S 4G on Metro PCS.. there is probably a guide to alternative carriers on here if you look around. She only gets 3g on it but for phone and text its perfect.

Hi thanks for your reply. If I remember correctly the phone you mention would be a GSM variety. I have a CDMA version. My phone's spec name is Nexus S 4G SPH D720.
Found some good info here....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_wireless_communications_service_providers
So just to get 3g I'd need to match up a carrier that supports CDMA2000 1xEV-DO, then a compatible sim, then assuming they allow a sim swap if I have to buy one of their phones unless they have a sim program like Smart Talk.
UNLESS... and this is the real reason I posted this on XDA, I can get some information on how to flash my phone to one of these carriers. I'm now looking hard at Cricket Wireless. They're pretty good in my neighborhood. I know I can pay somebody to do the flash but where would the fun be in that even if I could afford it lol.
So any info on how to flash the phone, correct the settings or whatever else I need to do to get this phone Cricket ready is appreciated!
I'm looking into net10 now. They have a SIM program and support 3g.
My wifes phone is the same.(I think) It was a sprint phone originally. Anyhow, I was in my local metro dealer the other day and he showed me some sim cards as they are about to start using them in September for the bring your own phone program. So if you have a sim slot, that is a possible option for ya! Good luck and keep us posted what you decide,so others know their options as well.

There's no SIM card in this phone. It arrived today. They used an embedded SIM from what I understand. Although I've used Metro PCS in the past it isn't even available in my area if my phone had a SIM. I do appreciate your responses as it appears this device is not getting much love anymore. Funny thing, the phone state is still in service although Sprint has closed usage. So I get a signal and all and have discovered the Sprint network is weak in my area. Specifically my home is a dead zone practically. Back to the drawing board. Be nice if I could switch out the radio I guess. Not sure I wanna undertake all that. Seems a shame as this is still a nice device running Jellybean as well.
You can use sprint or any derivative, ie boost or possibly virgin. No sim, but the phone can be flashed to work on boost. Pretty sure of that. It will never work on anything but sprint guaranteed.

My opinion is buy gsm unlocked ns and your options are endless and I believe gsm has more development as well. Sell the ns4g to pay some of the difference.

Yeah good idea. i had very limited funds the other day while looking for a device and came across the sprint phone cheap. i figured the gsm phones would be just out of my pocket money's reach.
I might end up selling it off and getting a gsm version in the future. in the meantime i went and bought aSamsung illusion running on Verizon network. this phone is very similar to the Nexus phone. Smaller than the "s". Now that Im contracted with Verizon (prepaid) I'll see if i can move the sprint phone over via flashing it. Stay tuned!

Ting runs off Sprint towers. You can use any previous Sprint contract phone that Ting has on their eligibility list. Just go to their web site and enter your phone's ESN/MEID to check for eligibility.

Good to know thank you. I ended up signing with Sprint and getting an EVO 4g LTE. I did have the nexus running on Sprint for a few days whil I made my decision.
Earlier this week, I went to AT&T to get a new micro sim for my Nexus 5. It works fine on HSPA+. However, I never see it go to LTE. Using the speedtest app, my d/l speeds max out at 2.5Mbps.
I am in an LTE coverage area. I stood right next to a couple of my co-workers with a Moto X and iphone 5. Both of their phones say LTE.
I called 611 (AT&T customer service) to make sure I had LTE coverage. According to their system, both my phone and plan say LTE.
Am I missing anything? Do I need to do anything (play with any settings) to make LTE go on?
Help...
Is it set to LTE and CDMA/GSM?
LTE is selected
Interesting I'm getting mine today and will be using AT&T I'll let you know if I have the same problem
Very weak LTE for me too. I'm a little disappointed in that, but I'm getting 5-8Mbps down with HSPA+
My LTE works fine on AT&T, I've ran some tests and seen 30Mbps
is your account provisioned for LTE?

I'm getting LTE with no problem. I'm getting about 20 down and 12 up. The only so far I don't like is the speaker volume. It may be YouTube, but it's horrible.

mine is correctly provisioned, and i do see LTE, but it's very weak for me where friends with a Moto X and iPhone 5 see full LTE coverage.
My Nexus 4 on T-Mobile would stay on LTE all day, but my Nexus 5 gets off LTE and goes back to HSPA+ when it drops to 2 bars or less. I am very aggravated. I can get it on LTE if I show it that there is LTE around by going to the secret dialer menu and enabling LTE only, but it is like it doesn't want to get on LTE unless it is 4-5 bars.
I need to see how my wife's Nexus 5 operates and I may end up RMAing mine.
I have yet to see my Nexus 5 on LTE (AT&T), i'm coming from an HTC One and that has connected to LTE without issues, not sure what the issue is, if AT&T is blocking it because its an 'unknown device' or what, has anybody discovered anything new on this?

Works great on AT&T's LTE network on the n5, SIM originally from a Lumia 920 also LTE.
No problem here with SIM out of S3. I did notice that he automatically changed my APN's. It only pulled ATT Phone and ATT WAP. Its set to Phone. I am roughly same speed as s3

I'm using a new micro sim since I was previously using a galaxy nexus. I'm thinking that it might be an apn setting issue. If there any way you (or someone else) could list their apn settings? A screenshot would be great.. Thanks in advance.
Works fine for me using the stock APN
I walked in my AT&T store, handed my Nexus 5 still in the box to a tech, she unboxed it, put in a sim booted it up, download SpeedTest app and with a LTE tower right next to the store these were the numbers I got.

exactly the same experience. walked in today with my N5, handed it to the tech, transferred my # (coming from VZW), activated a new sim, put it in and off i went into LTE land. no issues at all
I've had the same issue since I got my Nexus 5 last Monday. Went to store, she put in LTE sim. Mine only show H. That's it just "H". Called at&t several times. They tried different settings on the phone. Suppose to send me another sims card in the mail. Also, said they "escalated" my case to a specialist. I should have it resolved by Nov. 11th.
I just simply pop in my sim from my s4
