Metro uses cdma phones, while the Inspire is a gsm phone. Radios are not compatible.

You cant unlock a GSM phone to work on a CDMA network. The hard ware doesnt support it. When you unlock a GSM phone that just allows you to use it with another sim card based company.

Look at Verizon and Sprint phones. (Both use CDMA networks) Or any wireless carrier that operates on CDMA - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_wireless_communications_service_providers
Then look at xda development threads for those phones. (will have tutorials if they can be unlocked/rooted/s-off'd)

So you get 4G connectivity? But on the ROM Page it says "phone works 2g/3g"

Yes...plus 4g is just marketing on our phones. I'd say it 3.5g Max!
I was using asopx and i was getting dl speeds aroung 4Mbps/s, I have since switched to IceColdSandwich and I get a bit faster speeds. So, yes 4G does work
What about Ascension? Is it any better?
I really hate be the bad guy here but it is well known that att doesn't have 4g network short of LTE. And no the inspire is not compatible with that network. As stated above the best you will get is the 3.5g network alot of us have been connecting to for years

LG Optimus S™ to Boost Mobile?¿?
Hey guys I am also thinking of the transition to boost and am wondering if anyone has had any luck yet? Or if there are any cheap suggestions as far as a prepaid boost mobile hotspot/tethering goes? Preferably android... Thanks in advance
Hi, first i just wanna say sorry if my english its pretty bad.
I just wonder if anyone knows how to activate the 4G because i just have 4 options:
Only 2G
Only 3G
Automatic 2G/3G
Automatic 2G/3G/4G
But there's no "only 4G" option, and im always on H+
And yes actually my company offered 4G services where i live, btw im from Mexico and my company is Telcel.
But i was looking for some kind of code to activate 4G and disable H+
My theory is... i got better signal with H+ thats why im always connected with that band.
So, if anyone of you could help me i will be glad
Have a god day

For me I get 4g all the time.....when I don't have 4g that's because I'm in a area that doesn't have 4g so it drops down to 3g
I'm not sure what ur trying to do
If u disabled H+ and 4g wasn't available.. u would have no service

I thought there was something with the radio driver that will pick the best connection between 3g and 4g
I don't think u can mess with custom radio unless ur bootloader is unlocked..maybe a custom PRL actually

I know, i love the 4G, but seems we got a lot of dow load speed because there's not a lot of people with a 4g phone now, maybe in a few months the download speed will be a little more... slow.

the real problem is that the version of LTE that Verizon handles is different from the version that handles Telcel, I've been investigating and no way to change it for now, that Verizon handles HD Maxx and until there is another company that can handle it and make a different version of the radio to change to support Telcel, no momentary solution. i'm from mty, send me a private message for a better explanation or explanation in spanish jajajajajaja

My Nexus will be here tomorrow and I'm wanting to sign up with AIO's $60 plan. On their site it is asking for an IMEI. My concern is that the new Nexus IMEI may not be compatible with their 4g network. Has anyone else had success with AIO? I don't want to be stuck on 3g. Should I be seeking an IMEI from another device as a work-around? If so, what device, and where? My current phone is a 1st gen HTC Evo with sprint. Any help and advice is much appreciated!
Ive been wondering the same thing also.

They're using AT&T's network, I'm on it right now and get HSPA, HSPA+, and LTE. Works 100% fine. Used the same SIM card on my nexus 4 and had great service.

I've also wondered if AIO's LTE (AT&T) will work on the N5. So you have the N5 and it is working no problem? How are the speeds on LTE and HSPA+ (yes i know they throttle, just wondering how it feels)??

Unfortunately i don't have have a Sim to swap. I'm wondering if I order one using the IMEI from the new Nexus 5 will I be able to access 4g? Or will I be bumped to 3g because the Nexus 5 does not show up in their system?
Using Aio SIM from my N4 with not so good reception where I live and getting decent speed.
FYI, the N4 wasn't in their system either and needed the EMEI to activate.
Activating a nexus 5 on aio will be a cake walk. Nothing like the problems people over on sprint are having.
