This is for my friend's phone. I have a RAZR Maxx and I use the phone info app to toggle to using 3G only. Can I use this app for the HTC Sensation also? What's the network setting I should change it to? My friend is on Wi-Fi mostly and when it's turned off the phone goes to 4G. How do we get it on 3G only?

the "4G" is acutally HSPA+ which is a faster 3G so it is technically on 3G even though it says 4G
So those are the only options huh? That sucks cause my friend's data cap on T-Mobile is 200MB then the throttling begins. I thought 2Gigs sucked, but 200MB is way worst! Lol

You can lock on different signals by going to *#*#4636#*#*. I think this is what voir looking for. Once the menu pops up to to phone information, you change your signal through there by pressing on current signal, another menu will pop. Up then and you can lock on a different signal through there . Hope this helps!

No need to use the complicated dialer. You can choose 3G only, 2G only or switch between the two from the network settings. Provided you're using sense of course.
I just got the news T-Mobile is suppose to go to real unlimited data (NO Throttling) starting Sept. 5?

Yeah 200mb is terrible! I guess the only way to save data would be to disable internet altogether and only enable it when he really needs it

My inspire is for AT&T which I have unlocked for t - mobile but I only get edge internet...
I saw there was a number to(call)/ dial to change settings but when I set it to 3g my signal would just stop and say no service. I also heard wasn't possible to have 3 but I doubt that, is it true?

That depends on the area where you are....in the case you are using a different carrier from ATT you wont get 3g...just edge.
So "lay012" gets 3g because he has AT&T?
There's no way then?

For 3G
Tmobile uses 1700/2100 MHz
HTC Inspire uses 850/1900 MHz
So to answer you, there is NO way. Have to get a phone that matches the network.
The stuff they teach you in school 'skimming and scanning' or whatever your teachers called it shouldn't be used in life after school. I didn't see the unlocked for T-Mobile part .-.
I'm on AT&T.

No the bands are hardware dependent. This has been talked about it hundreds of times. A search would have shown this.

I am using AT&T One X now, and I signed up a 4G LTE 2 year contract. However, my phone only gets to HSPA+ but not LTE. I've tried different ROMs, flashing radio, choosing the network type(changing into “LTE only” will only cause no signal), etc... None is working.
Any ideas? I live in Diamond Bar, which there are lots of hills and low mountains... Will the signal be a possible cause for the LTE fail?
LTE can be finnicky with signal, but what APN are you currently using?
Are you sure that your city has lte not every city has it yet.

This. It's the most obvious answer but it's probably it.

With the att ruu, the apn is locked and there is only one. So it is definitely the correct apn. With other roms, I tried all apns but none worked.

Since LTE runs on such a low frequency, if you are even a little outside of coverage area, on the fringe, or in low-lying areas, its very possible that you simply dont get LTE coverage. have you tested or witnessed any other LTE devices functioning in your area?

That is true, but you won't necessarily have LTE data unless you've called customer service and had them activate it for your plan.
I am desperate for some help. I am visiting the US and have purchased a T-mobile sim while i am here.
Data connects but then drops immediately in a never ending loop.
I've installed the T-mobile US firmware but no luck. My uk Orange sim connects fine and ive tried the US sim in a friends UK Desire HD which also works fine.
I now have no idea what else to try.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance to any one that can help.

Have you checked your apn settings to make sure your data is configured correctly with T-Mobile?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Yes. They're the same as those picked up on the Desire HD I tried it in.
Interestingly, it began working but after switching to wifi and back it stopped again.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
Thats interesting i dont know what the Wi-Fi would have anything to do with your mobile connection. Also make sure you check your network selection and make sure its automatic.

Do you have the phone set to wcdma only? You will be stuck on edge I believe since the euro sensation is 1900umts. You may be able to switch to 1700 by flashing the modem partitions (not included in ruu)
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app
Yes, net selection is automatic and i've also tried different combinations of data type.
No luck there either.
I'm on open sensation rc1 at the moment. I'm going to try a sense ROM but I'm sure it won't help.
I'll give another radio a try.
Thanks guys.

Can anyone help me out? I called att and they gave me apns but I can only get 4g and my phone drops service a lot. I'm using Venom Rom with elemental x kernal.

You shouldn't have to configure apn at all. And what do you mean by 4g? HSDPA+ or LTE??

Reason why is that go phone since they allow iPhone and LTE phones use the same apn settings as postpaid. Every ROM I flash I never had to configure data

Just switched to GoPhone from T-Mobile. LTE working fine without any additional configuration.

At&t gophone has access to the 4g network now. I think it started in May but not sure on that date.

Yea they gave us 4g lte around may or June but I just now got to changing apn because my old settings still had hspa +
