Picked up htc 8x international to use on at&t 3G u.s.
having issues
1. At&t 3G data doesn't work well. Seems to have issues keeping connection
2. Search doesn't work well. Again on at&t 3G, can't use voice search but voice search works on tmo and WiFi
3. No mms even after manually setting apn
4. Manually set apn for both data and mms
5. Tethering checks for provisioning
6. This is 3/4G device, but doesn't work well on at&t
any suggestions?

KJ, what APN settings are you using? I went through half a dozen before I finally got the right ones. Also, any idea what the exact model of the phone is?
I used the more popular ones, I think.
apn
wap.cingular
[email protected]
Wireless.cingular.com
I've found by selecting the other carriers in the connection setup some things start to work.
How do I get the model #?
It's is sim free from UK. No branding but behaves as if its branded
What apn worked for you for windows 8 and at&t 3G?
Search doesn't work consistently on mobile 3G on at&t. Not happy with purchase.
T-mo works well but using 4G t-mo service. No issues.
Try this one;
MMS APN
Access Point Name: pta
WAP Gateway (URL): proxy.mobile.att.net
WAP Gateway port: 80
MMSC address: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
To find the model number go to Settings>About and it's under phone information.
The problem with the unlocked phones is that even though they are unlocked, they still have the original carrier firmware and as far as I know, there are only a couple of models that you can flash with a stock HTC rom. You may be in luck since it is a European model. You can take a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2137556.
Anyway, good luck to you. It's a great phone.

1700 band.....
don't worry, in a year or so, (after the hostile take over) there will be devices that support the whole spectrum that TMO & ATT supports
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i was thinking the same thing, after att takes over..probably the new devices will have a wide 3g/4g spectrum, att has alway says that they need the aws from tmbile 1700/2100
Seeing as inzaneip has a Fido (Canada) symbol, I would not be surprised if this "Sensation 4G" is actually the Bell Canada model that works full speed on AT&T.
Another thing it consider is that if you do manage to get the HTC Sensation 4G (Bell/ Canadian Version) that has the 850/1900 Mhz bands, will ATT detect that you are using a smartphone and automatically give you the 30 dollar 2GB limited data plan which you cannot get rid of?
I currently use a Samsung Vibrant on ATT and only have a 15 dollar unlimited data plan. However the Vibrant has 850/2100 Mhz bands in which the 850 mhz is the onle that i use to get data. However, I feel that data fluctuates way too much from location to location. It jumps from edge to 3g to 4g back to edge within a block. Also, there are known reception issues with the Samsung Vibrant (kind of like the death grip on the iphone 4). I am also one of those people considering a HTC Sensation 4G (bell version) or the HTC Incredible S as a substitute IF ATT does not charge me the 30 dollar limited data plan.
Shouldn't happen
I got away with the dumbphone data plan for a long while on my Nexus One until Google gave AT&T the IMEI numbers and they realized I had a smartphone... So as long as AT&T doesn't recognize the IMEI it could be a Motorola V3c with some wicked data usage for all they know!
Do you think ATT will recognize the Bell version of the Sensation because the HSDPA runs on the same bands and I think it was either Bell or Rogers that had some relation with ATT? Not sure if they gave ATT the IMEI numbers though...
The general pattern seems to be:
If your unlocked phone is a model NOT sold by AT&T in the USA, nor is it an iPhone or Nexus, then AT&T won't recognize it as a smartphone.
If it's a model also sold by AT&T, albeit from a Canadian carrier (e.g. a Bell Atrix or Rogers Infuse), there's some chance they might recognize it. The Sensation and the Incredible S are probably safe.
Also the TMo Vibrant has 1900 3G but not 850. It has poorer building penetration than 850, so it's not surprising that the 3G drops out a lot.
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
That sounds pretty practical. I'm looking to buy an HTC phone that has both the 3g Bands for ATT. But with that vague merging between T-Mo and AT&T, not sure if it would really matter in the near future.
The merger should not affect compatibility of phones that today already work on AT&T 3G. Be aware the Bell Sensation does *not* have the T-Mobile AWS band if you were thinking you wanted something for both networks at once.
Yea, I'm well aware of that. T-Mobile sucks around my house because I have a big tree in front. I'm only concerned about AT&T but thanks for the warning.
Hey guys,
When browsing, and it says 4G on the Rogers One X...is that LTE? Mine always says 4G, but NEVER said LTE..any ideas how to find out if it's using LTE?
When I go to phone status, and network status, it shows HSPA or HSPA+...
i believe it says 4G then lte right under it
your probably on hspa+ ?
When on LTE, it will say LTE.
When on HSPA+, it will say 4G.
The Rogers LTE network is still extremely small, so you might not be in a serviced area. You can check their map here: http://www.rogerslte.com/lte-in-your-area

hkalltheway iam having the same issue as you! They actually replaced my device and gave me a new htc one x, switched my sim card twice and have escalated my problem to senior tech support. APN is correct, lte is on auto. I even tried forcing it into lte by going into the phone menu by pressing *#*#4636#*#* and selecting LTE only.
My plan is lte as the last 2 phones i have had were lte (sgs 2 lte & raider). They both never had an issue receiving an lte signal. I'm close to downtown toronto so im in an area where the LTE signal is strong.
I'm wondering if you are having the same issue as me. At least it seems like it. Call rogers and have them open up a case. It has been a week and they still haven't fixed the issue.
did you have an lte phone prior to the one x?
It will say LTE in the Notification Bar ...

I agree with a few of the others. If you're using LTE, it will actually say LTE in the Notification Bar, right above the signal strength bars.
If it says 4G, then you're only on HSPA+.
If you're not getting the LTE to display, and you ARE in an LTE area, then I would definitely call Rogers and have this issue resolved.

I'm having a similar issue unfortunately, albeit mine is with Bell. I've unlocked the device and purchased an LTE sim card and in multiple LTE service areas with only 4G connectivity. Speed tests are in the 6-10mb speeds for HSPA.
Curious if this is an issue with the phone as others are having problems too.

are you using the proper Bell LTE apn?
I was having the same problem with my Rogers account and it turned out it was an issue with the account not my device. In my case they added the LTE to my account but it is incompatible with older data plans in my case I have the 6GB for $30.00. They have since told me that in order to get the service to work I need to update to an LTE data plan which I really don't want to do as it will cost double what I am paying now hahaha so I think I will live with the 6-10mbps I am getting now
10GB for $50 ...

Actually, Rogers routinely comes out with DATA plan deals. I have 10GB for $50, which also comes out every so often. The more common "6GB for $30" is offered frequently.
Yes, it's true that you need not just an LTE SIM card, but to have your account set up for access to their LTE network. I just didn't realize it costs more. It didn't cost me more.
Peter
Addendum: My plan, 10GB data, 200 minutes talk, and unlimited Texts in/out is about $83 per month.

The information I have is there isn't a specific LTE APN similar to Rogers. I'm using pda.bell.ca as my APN. I'm mainly curious if Bell requires a specific LTE data plan or other activation parameters to connect. The people I've spoken to states that this is not required.
If anyone is wondering, I'm on Telus' Flex 60 plan (older plan from before they had LTE) and I did not need to make any changes to my account.
LTE worked off the bat with the standard Telus APN. Although Bell/Telus LTE coverage around here is spotty, I'm just outside their LTE zone on the map.
I have been using n5 from last 2 days in SF downtown..but n5 does not say LTE in the top right corner..it only says H (HSDPA)..so m not sure if it is LTE or not..is anyone having this problem? I have seen LTE on GS4
I am on AT&T..They provide LTE in entire Bay area
I just downloaded speedtest app and performed test thrice with mobile data ON..here are the results:

Do you have LTE on your plan? You have to call them and setup LTE on your plan, if you never had it before and just got the nexus with LTE you talk to tech support, give them the IMEI and they will enable it on your account. It basically changes the wording of your bill, the bill amount will not be changed but restart your phone and you will be good. It is what I had to do.
Ok..just cane back from ATT store and can happily say that the problem has been resolved..following are the steps needed after every new purchase: 1) visit at store 2) If you already don’t have a microsim card then get it for free 3) Reprovision the Sim card 4) register your new phone 5) if you never had LTE on your data plan, then you specifically need to tell the customer care representative to switch your data plan to LTE
LTE speeds are monstrous.. I am a happy customer now

Did they give you any hassle with the IMEI of the nexus 5? I heard there were issues since it wasn't in their system? I don't have LTE in my area but I went to an LTE area last weekend and all the iphones got it but I was stuck on H+. I don't want them to do it and mess up my current service.
No..IMEI was not an issue for me

T-Mobile and AT&T LTE bands can be VERY different in certain regions, if that is the case I doubt that is easy/possible - look around in the T-Mobile and AT&T Note 3 forums (there are like 5 Note 3 forums in total on xda) and you will see pretty large bounties for converting certain versions from one to another. If the bands are the same you also need to check if the APNs are automatically set correctly when you change the SIM.
