Sprint 4G LTE in San Antonio

Sprint 4G LTE bars in San Antonio!!! I speed tested 18 MB down

What's your 3G speed?

While specs says: HSDPA 14.4 Mbps, HSUPA 5.76 Mbps, I get about 6mbps DL and 0.3mbps UL in speedtest app.
What's your speed, is there a way to tweak build.prop to get better speed?

High speed mentioned in phone spec is the high speed phone can handle. But your service provider has another maximum speed limit. You can know it by contacting your service provider. I think your service provider has a slower maximum limit.

[Q] help with network bands

i'm interested in buying the nokia 515 3.5g. it's made for europe i think.
it supports these network bands.
Cellular connectivity
GSM network: 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz
GSM max data speed DL: EGPRS 236.8 kbps
GSM max data speed UL: EGPRS 236.8 kbps
WCDMA network: Band 1 (2100 MHz), Band 8 (900 MHz)
WCDMA max data speed DL: 7.2 Mbps (Cat 8)
WCDMA max data speed UL: 5.76 Mbps (Cat 6)
what US carrier could i get 3g service from? i know i can get 2g on tmobile/att, but would either support 3g on this phone?

1900 MHz would get you 3G on T-Mobile and At&t

OnePlus One "4G Plus" Compatibility?

TL;DR at the bottom..
Hello,
So I have had the OnePlus one for just over 3 months now, and I'm currently running 100% stock OxygenOS (even thought that doesn't change the outcome of the question)..
Here in Australia we like to make things so much more confusing than they actually are, and this is truly the case when it comes to mobile phone network names. We currently have 2G, NextG, 3G, "4G" (HSPDA), 4G LTE, 4GX LTE, 4G Plus LTE, 4G+ LTE, and this makes things incredibly confusing when trying to work out if your phone is compatible with a service plan. Currently, I am with "Amaysim", who offered "4G" (HSPDA) plans only, until 3-ish weeks ago when they changed all their plans to 4G. I have already upgraded my line to 4G (free of charge), but Amaysim uses Optus' cell towers. Optus offers 2G, 3G, 4G (HSPDA), 4G LTE and 4G Plus LTE, my phone is working on everything but the latter two (as I don't get the chance to see if they are working till the 1st of May).
Now that we have the backstory out of the way, my question is, will my phone work with the 4G Plus network. From Optus' site:
OPTUS 4G PLUS NETWORK SPECTRUM FREQUENCY COMPATIBILITY
The frequencies we use on our 4G plus network to deliver superfast 4G include LTE 700MHz, LTE 1800MHz, 2100MHz, 2300MHz, and 2600MHz. Depending on your device compatibility, you can access some, or all, of the 4G Plus network. We're using the 700MHz spectrum to expand our network nationally, so If you want to future-proof your device, choose one with the "4G in more places" symbol to access our 4G Plus network wherever it expands. You'll be able to enjoy faster downloads and Internet browsing in loads of new places.
So while I will have LTE as the OnePlus One Supports LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 7(2600), 17(700), 38(2600), 40(2300), Optus advertises elsewhere; If your device supports 700MHz/Band 28 – it’s a 4G Plus device.. So while the OnePlus One does support 700mhz, Optus says it's band 28, while on the OPO 700mhz is band 17..
TL;DR: My network advertises that their "4G Plus" is on the 700mhz/band 28 frequency, but the OPO supports 700mhz/band 17 frequency. Is this the same thing, but because of North America to Australia differences or whatever it's different?

I checked the Wikipedia article for the technical specifications of the different bands. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-UTRA#Frequency_bands_and_channel_bandwidths
Band 28 uses wider spectrum range for transmitting data. Band 17 uplink is from 704 to 716 MHz and downlink is 734 to 746 MHz, whereas band 28 is 703 to 748 and 758 to 803 respectively. Band 28 has wider range of channel bandwidths (3, 5, 10, 15, 20 versus 5, 10). Duplex spacing is also different (30 MHz on Band 17, 55 on Band 28).
In theory my conclusion is that it will not work.

Hmmm alrighty. Cheers, I guess if I decide that I really do need 4G "Plus" that I will unlock band 28 using the band unlocker guide.
Thanks!

What is the issue if i use the 6GB/128GB HTC U11 in US/Canada?

my question is very short and straight forward
what i will lose if i used the unlocked 6GB/128GB U11 in |US/Canada
what i know is the B66 LTE frequency which i'm not aware of any NA carrier using this frequency
other than ?
Performance
Call quality
Battery life
software
Thanks
Ahmad

There are more differences in LTE frequencies than just B66, which is used by AT&T. Possible carrier aggregation combos for LTE-Advanced are different as well.
HTC U11 WHL - North America
2G/2.5G- GSM/GPRS/EDGE
850/900/1800/1900 MHz
3G UMTS

4G LTE (up to 600Mbps download speed/with 2CA, 3CA Carrier Aggregation and 256 QAM, service dependent)
FDD: Bands B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B12/
B13/B17/B20/B25/B26/B28/B66

with 2CA, 3CA, 4CA Carrier Aggregation
VoLTE,Wi-Fi Calling
Device capable of support Cat 15 LTE, download up to 800Mbps, upload up to 75 Mbps

mmmm..
which means it will work in Canada but maybe not with the maximum network capabilities ...
anything else other than the network ?

You'll get dual SIM support and different pre-installed apps. Your firmware and OTA updates will be for the original market (EMEA or Taiwan), not for US Unlocked.

I'm curious as well. Subbed

That's good...
Any negative impact on battery life
Any significant positive impact on phone performance (6 GB ram) ?

Battery life - probably not. Performance - some positive impact if you're into heavy multitasking.

So we won't have any issues with call signal, 3/4G data or battery drain? Thank you in advance. I'm just trying to make sure that the phone will work fine in states before I spend 750 bucks

LTE band support is the only concern and depends on your mobile carrier in the US as well as your mobile market (city).
