[Q] Straight Talk and 3g for Sensation Help!

Hi all, I did a search and didn't get very far. Here's the deal I learned after buying my girlfriend and Tmobile Sensation 4G and putting it on a ST SIM(uses att service) that it doesn't have the 850mhz band that att uses for 3g. Is there any way possible to change the frequency to pick up atts 3g wether it be a radio/RILEY or a ROM that changes this. I don't think it is a hardware issue seeing as the galaxy s is able to change this setting easily. What I need to know is has anyone addressed this issue or found a work around? I am even willing to replace hardware if necessary. Maybe a Bell Canada radio/ril?? Currently we have Insert Coin ICS installed. Any help is appreciated! Thanks

Nope,
Maybe someone else will prove me wrong, but I don't believe there is any way to make a T-Mobile branded Sensation work on AT&T's 3G network. There were some rumors early on that this might be possible, but I don't think anyone has been able to make it happen.

There must be some way to access these network options to edit the frequency. If they can do it on some other phones maybe a Dev can get his hands on an RUU from the Canada Bell files and possibly find where this is hidden? There must be some way haha!

There is no setting to enable it. The hardware is simply not there. To get 3/4G on the Sensation, just buy a T-Mobile SIM card from StraightTalk and then activate it on her plan. http://www.straighttalk.com/ShopSims

I'm running StraightTalk's tmo sim on my phone. Works perfectly, including MMS (which Simple Mobile failed at).

Not great, not bad at all actually. Especially for the price.
People over on howardforums swear there are 100/mb/day or 2gb/month limits on data though. At which point they claim they either turn off your data or close your account altogether.
I use wifi most of the day so I don't care but your situation might be different. Tmobile prepaid is what I had before though. $60/month for 2gb @ 4G speed isn't bad.

The internal hardware. The radio just isn't capable. It isn't a case where it is capable but disabled, it's a case where it isn't capable.

LOL noob here
Looks ok I guess. I'm still a noob at reading those speed charts but I'll just take your word for it. The only problem I might have with them is , I'm scared they might just cancel my number completely or that i loose data completely. So would you recommend this or the t-mobile monthly $50? I'm paying 50 for my metro atm so I really don't want to pay more, I'll be glad with the same or a little bit less.

The thing is that on the $50 TMO plan you'll get 100mb of 4G and the rest will be 2G speed. Meaning that you'll struggle to play video like YouTube. That's why I recommended the $60 plan.

They have sims for TMO or ATT network.

Thanks guys! I ordered her a SIM from straight Talk for TMO. Should be here Tuesday. Anybody know how their voice/data service is in Michigan? I am spoiled by having excellent data with VZW but definitely pay for it.... Will she have worse service than with her current ST ATT SIM? Hope it goes well and they let me swap SIMS and keep her number!

If you're using Straight Talk, I'd say the new AT&T prepaid is worth switching to

If you haven't heard, AT&T just enabled LTE on their pre-paid network. The plan is 2GB with unlimited talk/text for $60 flat. I just got it and I'm pretty damn glad that I decided to switch. I ported over hte number from Straight Talk. I got HSPA speeds on ST and downloaded at like 7mbps. Now, I can get 30mbps and maybe more. I have only tried a few speed tests. In my home, I only get like 14mbps, which is still manageable

why you you go on a limited plan? ST still has unlimited data. and its like 50 bucks. saving 10 dollars and unlimited data seem way better than getting my download faster. at the end you still get the download.

It sounds like the OP was interested in speed. I can add that ST's bizarro policy on data limit and their willingness to cancel a number for a violation of an unstated data limit makes ATT prepaid safer if you really have to keep your phone number.

I agree. If you can manage with 2gb, go phone is the best pre paid option out there

Straight talk isn't really unlimited. If you go over 2gb, they will throttle your speed. I never went over 2gb though so that's why I went with a limited plan. I just prefer having the faster speeds. If I have an LTE phone, might as well get LTE

I wish the AT&T AIO was available nationwide. You get LTE up to 7 GB for $70 a month. I'm sick of 3G on ST

Thiw would be perfect for my uncle...quick question, when switching to go phone do you have to get one of their phones or could you use an existing one you already own? I went to their website and it said to purchase a phone or something like that to get started with the plan...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2

We always brought our own phones to AT&T Go-Phone without any issues before we switched to Straight Talk.

I think straight talk is still the best deal in town for an at&t phone. The hspa data speeds are great in most places and the price is very good for unlimited talk and text and I think they only allow 1.2 gb's of data but that's still a lot. It's about $48 with taxes and fees. My s4 is on it.

Straight Talk issued a statement a few days ago & said this report of capping is done only on their sister company Net10. It does NOT apply to ST.

Is the coverage any different between pre-pay AT&T and post-pay AT&T?
Before moving to AT&T postpaid, I had a Galaxy S720C on ST with Verizon. Coverage was native towers only and no roaming (I knew that going in). VZW's pre-pay service doesn't include roaming either.
That was one reason I switched from ST (VZW) to AT&T post paid. And I went from 3 lines of service to 4 lines of service which made ST nearly $200/month for 3g non-roaming service. Otherwise, I had no complaints about the service from ST that they weren't able to fix.

I remember looking into it before I left ST. At that time, I think ST and AT&T were no longer working together. Now on the AT&T pre-paid side, I've never investigated to learn if there are any differences in the coverage. But again, I know that with Verizon, there is a difference and there are maps that show pre-pay and post pay coverage.
When you zoom in and reconfigure/refresh the maps you can see some differences.
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/support/coverage-locator
http://www.att.com/maps/wireless-coverage.html
Those maps are so subject to interpretation that I'm not sure any conclusions can be drawn by looking at them. I'm not sure the providers want us to know either.

But hundreds of straight talk users have reported data caps and being throttled...from my understanding its nit an official data cap, so technically it doesnt exist...however for many users after going iver 2gb they become throttled...some even get terminated for going even higher, yet others can go through much much more and never be throttled...its a hit or miss I guess

Do you mind giving some more detail on the throttling? I was on ST before GoPhone and i never used over 2GB but I was wondering how it worked. What were your speeds before/after throttling? I'm guessing you were on the HSPA before, and maybe 2G after... was it AT&T or T-Mobile?
GoPhone seems to be a good plan so far for me. The LTE seems a lot more consistent than the HSPA I was getting through ST as far as speeds, AND constant connectivity. I haven't found any rough spots on the LTE so far, but I always found areas where the HSPA connection would fade in/out when I was on ST.

Well straight talk (AT&T) can be bullish*t sometimes. A few months ago I had a smartphone, can't remember which one honestly. Anyways, i sold it and because I had ordered another smartphone but while I was waiting for the new phone to arrive I was using an old flip phone. So I wasn't using any data at all for a couple of weeks. When I got the new phone and set up the apn and everything, my data speeds were super slow, 0.25 mbps max. I called straight talk to ask them what's up, they said that I was throttled because I was using too much data which wasn't true because I was using a flip phone for more than 2 weeks.
When they throttled you it's 0.25 mbps, they go hard on you. Besides lately my data has been very inconsistent (generally it's between 2-6mbps but it's so inconsistent, sometimes I wait 60s for tapatalk to load) and I live in Maryland where coverage is usually excellent. So now I'm going to switch to go phone this weekend and enjoy some LTE. I can't wait. In my opinion it is totally worth the extra 10+ bucks.

ATT i337 on T-Mobile's LTE

Hi guys just want to share something and as I type I See this is already well known fact but I'll do it anyway cause it's just so awesome !
For many years I had to chose very carefully what phone I get and if I have any plans to go somewhere because in 99% of the phones will not do so good unless you're on specific carrier that you phone is made for. For years now I am an ATT customer and I always had ATT phones and as always no matter what plan I had or speed I had on ATT when I insert T Mobile, Simple mobile or any other off brand companies (T-Mobile towers) I'd had EDGE. That's why SGSII i989 was for me one of the best phones because no matter what I choice I always had 3G on it, on ATT and T-Mobile carriers. And now this. I have i337 and what an amazing phone I just took my wife T-Mobile sim card with LTE service, and damn thing worked like a charm. No problem at all. I have custom rom so all APN settings even got installed and magic LTE:13 is status window. Speed tests are amazing as well 23 Mbit down and 10Mbit up. So once again I know people know about it but for those that don't you can use i337 from ATT with ANY GSM carrier in US. Because all GSM carriers are off ATT towers like H2O or Red pocket and off T-Mobile like Simple Mobile, Go Smart etc will work on good speeds. Finally I can forget about EDGE with one device.
P.S.
Let me know if there are some carriers that will not support this unit. (I don't see how if in US only 2 GSM carriers that supply towers to rest)

the att s4 does support tmobiles lte band but it will not get 3g or 4g hspa+ unless you live in an area where tmobile has updated their towers to give off 3g or 4g hspa on att bands otherwise you will get edge. there is a method i used to unlock the tmobile aws band on the att s4 which will give you 3g or 4g hspa+ in any tmobile area no matter if they have the updated towers or not.

were you able to hijack the dialer if you were can you tell me how you did it and for the 4g thing you might have to configure the apn setting and uppwireless has that on their website

Issue with tmobile prepaid and LTE

Anyone here using the tmobile $30 dollar prepaid plan and have issue getting LTE? I got my phone a bit over a week ago and love it but there is the issue of no lte. Somehow I can only get up to hspa+ on ym oneplus and this is the newest respond from tforce.
Thanks for checking back, our engineers said at this time it is not a feature we can push to a prepaid account and in order to achieve LTE on that device you would need to change to a no credit check account.
Any advise?

The only thing I know that will work is if you have another LTE phone. Is to activate it on that sim by giving them the IMEI number from that phone. Then put the sim back in your One Plus and make sure you have the right APN and you should be good to go.
If not your extra phone maybe a friends LTE phones IMEI number.
Good luck..

Few questions,
1. Are you on the right APN? fast.t-mobile.com on IPv6?
2. How old is your SIM card? Was the SIM card used in another device that is LTE enabled?
3. What OnePlus One do you have? International or Chinese version? (International has Cyanogen logo in the back)
4. Just FYI... "4G" on the OPO is LTE.
5. I believe I've known others who are using the $30 plan who are on LTE. I believe that the T Force member provided you with false information and wanted you to pay more. @jarjar124 is on the $30 plan so maybe he can provide some insight? I'm pretty sure $30 plan can get LTE. And I don't believe you need to provide them with your IMEI to be LTE provisioned. Thats what AT&T does, not T-Mobile.
If your phone is the Chinese version, then I don't think it can get LTE bands as T-mobile uses bands LTE 4/2

They played that game with the nexus 4 but it wasn't LTE but as you know with the modem hack most of use used it. But I had to give them my S3 IMEI. Then all was good. So maybe he is a new customer like I was at the time and they don't show the One as an LTE phone on there network as of yet.
But Yeah @jarjar124 is a great guy and he may be able to give more in site to this.

For me it says 4G, but I'm on LTE speeds. You can check using the speedtest app. Just don't do it quite often because it uses data like crazy lol. It worked out of the box for me. No needed to change APN or anything.

Yup.. used the Hybrid Radios to activate LTE. The last T-Mobile on contract phone I got from T-Mobile was the Galaxy S1 and didn't have any problems. The main thing I needed to do was to update my SIM card because it was a very old one that wasn't able to get LTE signals.
If the OP did get the Chinese version then I'm sure that he won't be able to get LTE I believe. I could be wrong though. I'll have to look this up but I think the highest signal they can get on TMo is HSPA
Edit: Yup I was right. https://forums.oneplus.net/attachments/untitled_1-jpeg.27662/
Chinese OPO LTE FDD: 1800/2100/2600MHz
TD-LTE....... (only used in China)
If you search on this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks
T-Mobile supports LTE Band 12 (limited markets, 700), 4(1700d,e,f), 2(1900)
So it is possible OP has the Chinese OPO which causes a conflict.

Really? Or is that just for simple choice plans? The prepaids don't have any of the advantages of the simple choice (free international texts/data, music streaming not counting etc). On my nexus 5, LTE worked out of the box too. Just needed the right APN.

It can also be the sim. Some sims can affect the cellular reception which can lead to your phone not reading LTE. How long did u leave your sim in? It can take time for it to switch from hspa to LTE. Where I live, it switches from hspa to LTE and vice versa constantly due to the buildings and coverage. I'm not a big person on cellular reception etc so someone please correct me if I'm wrong lol.

Good question, I have no idea. I'll have to go and take a look. Just applying common sense, I think it'd be everybody regardless of their plans since when you do a speedtest you do submit information to speedtest servers so it would only help t mobile to have the best results.

Can you show us your APN just so we can double check?
Where did you get your SIM card? From T-Mobile directly? Some sellers sell SIM cards but they don't have LTE support. Try putting your SIM card into your friend's phone and see if you get LTE on his phone.

Maybe the second one lol. The only way to really know is, well... surpass your 5GB monthly data allowance and then be throttled down then run a speedtest. See if the results return LTE speeds or your throttled speed.

Anyone here using the tmobile $30 dollar prepaid plan and have issue getting LTE? I got my phone a bit over a week ago and love it but there is the issue of no lte. Somehow I can only get up to hspa+ on ym oneplus and this is the newest respond from tforce.
Thanks for checking back, our engineers said at this time it is not a feature we can push to a prepaid account and in order to achieve LTE on that device you would need to change to a no credit check account.
Any advise?

After reading a the responses and seeing you talked to them and have a new sim. I would think it is what I was talking about that phone dose not show up in there system as an LTE device as of yet.
Does your friend have T-Mobile if so I would think that is the case. If you used his sim and got LTE. I had it happen as I stated with my nexus 4 as a new customer. But using me S3 IMEI it worked when I put the sim back in my N4.

The problem is that I don't think T-Mobile has OnePlus One IMEIs in their database. I've read that on a Reddit AMA with OnePlus employees. You'd have to give them a IMEI for a 4G compatible phone... or call them and hopefully you can find a good service representative who will help you out and provise you accordingly if everything else checks out (APN, SIM card,etc)

Hmm, well before your monthly cycle ends.... leave Netflix on over night or something so you can pass your limit and then you'll know if it counts for everybody lol. I usually run a speed test if im in a new area and then if its not high enough compared to my peak i just kill the app so it doesnt finish the speed test

Yeap that is what I am saying I have seen it happen to many others even with a new accounts when the nexus 5 came out. Just reading that he talked to a rep tells me that its not in the system yet. And if he is a new to T that could be it. Give an old or other 4g IMEI will work.

Well, I am not new to mobile, but the last device I got was a Galaxy Nexus which might be the problem since it was a hspa+ device. So what are my choices? Can I borrow a friend lte device and just give them the imei?

using Verizon Note 5 on T-Mobile?

Is this possible?
I just picked up a Verizon Note 5, put my T-Mobile sim in (like I have for tons of verizon devices in the past) and expected it to work, but it does not.
I get no bars with a little X on top. No service. No text/calls/data. I have tried multiple APNs. I've tried global mode, lte cdma mode, lte gsm umts mode. I experienced an issue similar to this on the Verizon Note 4 once it updated to lollipop. However for that Note 4, I put a verizon sim in and that of course worked, so then I took the verizon sim out and put my T-Mobile sim in and it finally worked, as if the verizon sim had to "activate" the phone.
I tried those same steps on this Verizon Note 5 (Verizon sim first - checked internet and it was working with the verizon sim - put in T-Mobile sim - no dice)
I thought all LTE Verizon devices were unlocked? Is anybody here actually using a Verizon Note 5 on T-Mobile or AT&T??

I'm using mine on the the t-mobile $30/month 5GB 100minutes prepaid plan & it worked after I changed the APN settings but I didn't have to put in the verizon sim first.

why the heck would u wanna use a verizon phone on T-mobile anyway. T-mobile is a horrible network

T-Mobile is half the price, and in my city (and many other large cities) T-Mobile has the best network. Look into their 20x20mhz LTE and their Band 12 LTE.
Why the heck would you reply to a subject you know nothing about?

I have yet to see ANY city where tmobile is the BEST network... I've seen some where it was super fast in certain areas, but have never seen a city where it has better service over the whole metro area.
But whatever.

I am just curious why you went with the Verizon Note 5 if your plan was to go with T-Mobile...the T-Mobile model has root as an option. The Verizon model is locked down tight. I wish I could have gone with a T-Mobile Note 5 and moved it to Verizon. Again...just wondering.

2nd hand Verizon phones are usually the cheapest option by far on eBay. For example I grabbed this Note 5 for $350 (and checked that the ESN is clean on Swappa as well)
I used a Verizon Note 3 & Verizon Note 4 in the past with T-Mobile with absolutely no problems. Never had root on my Note 4 either but that doesn't bother me so much anymore.

Las Vegas is the area that I'm in. The company that I work for has hundreds of employees in the hotels & convention centers, we had been using Verizon for the past 4 years but started having lots of service issues/dropped calls/no bars lately so we started testing other networks. T-Mobile was actually far and away the best at least in our areas that we tested, not to mention the fastest data speeds.

I know this might be a little off topic, but wanted to chime in. I was just in Vegas last weekend and returned home this past Monday. Everywhere I went, no problems with 4G LTE.I was all over Las Vegas boulevard, Venetian, Golden Nugget, Mirage, Oreleans, Tropicana, Ceasars Palace and in North Las Vegas for church. No problems with 4G LTE signal.
My girlfriend, who has Tmobile and an apple iphone 5C. She did have very spotty 4G service. Very good signal at Diablo's Cantina and then all of a sudden we go to golden Nugget, it drops to 2 bars of 3G. So to remedy this issue, I bought her a brand new Iphone 6s. After that, she had 4GLTE every where on the strip. Sorry for off topic, but just wanted to add my 2 cents about the Signal in las vegas between Tmobile Iphone C/6S and Big Red JuggerNot3.

Wow, I feel your pain. Sorry to see that your signal isn't strong there. Mileage will always vary

Can you say for 100% certainty that the t-mobile variant will work perfectly on Verizon? I hate TouchWiz, but I have had the last three notes and the last Nexus. I buy for like the Nexus experience, but as a coach I need a quality camera like the note 5. I have a guy near me trying to sell me a t-mobile note 5 for $450 right now. I am Verizon, you are sure it will work totally?

question... Can I pick up a Tmobile Note 5 and have it work perfectly on Verizon? Has anyone tested this? Also does it work with the Root and Unlock Options?

Tmobile variant of note 5 will not work on Verizon.
But Verizon Note 5 will work on Tmobile. Verizon needs CDMA radio as well as GSM/LTE radios(World Phone).
