I want to buy the Droid MAXX off-contract to use on T-Mobile (my Nexus 4 just broke). But I'm having trouble figuring out how to do that? Verizon wants me to pay month-to-month and with a plan? How do I just buy the darn phone?
I had a terrible time trying to just buy the phone outright through them. I was at the Verizon store for about 3 hours. Finally got it, went home, then saw the dev edition was out. So if I were you I would just get the dev model if its not sold out straight from Moto's website.

Droid maxx on T-Mobile
I switched my XT1080m to T-Mobile today and everything is working perfectly... Just switch preferred network to LTE/GSM/UMTS and I haven't had anymore problems...
And my Droid Maxx is not a developer edition either, just swap out Sims
Mind if I ask where you are located? I'm debating on switching my Maxx to T-Mobile as well.

U are having issues. Trust me. See that your MDN is unknown? Issue number one? Now try make a call. Will take two attempts as the first always fails. There is a bad LTE HSPA handoff issue right now on 4.4 that according to another thread, moto knows about

Thats really odd? Couple questions.
What baseband do you have listed?
When you place or receive a call, do you drop LTE?
Have you been able to send and receive text?

Does it hold LTE while on a call? Mine is setup just like yours and mine kills LTE, fails first call attempt, picks up HSPA+ then calls.

Thats what I was trying to get to. I was under the impression that you were on constant LTE with no issues. Now that you say you leave it on H+ that makes sense. Not to worry, H+ pulls about 9Mb/s where as when im on VZW LTE I pull about 8.

I had a maxx running 4.4 kitkat using the phone info app and settings tweak on HSPA with WCDMA preferred as the setting. I am in a refarmed area in N.C cant tell any big difference between speed when I had the Iphone 5 on Tmobile LTE and the Maxx with HSPA. Seems just as fast.
Then i broke the screen on the maxx -_- instead of replacing the screen just got a new phone since Im not with verizon and it would have been 345 to replace the screen.
Just got a new one but its running 4.2.2 and am using the same settings with same results. :good:

When I first got the phone I thought the same, I actually was under the impression the LTE wouldnt even pick up with my Tmobile sim on 4.2.2 Before I made the settings changes, I had my wifi on, LTE showed active on the status bar, I shut my wifi off, and it reverted to HSPA but did not have any active data, or any active cellular functions. I re activated the wifi, the LTE status came back but still had no cellular functions, the data I did have was obviously coming from my wifi and not cell data. For some reason I though 4.2.2 I didnt have to make any changes and HSPA would work automatically, but I guess not. Im not picky though as long as it works somehow, I am happy.

Maybe a reboot and retry? Do this for me. Turn off wifi and set pref mode to LTE/Gsm/umts. Leave the pref network to auto and try that
Maxx'd out Kit Kat
Gave that a shot with no luck. Was there a specific network mode I was supposed to select in the phone info app? I had in the phone settings LTE/GSM/UMTS and network on auto, i scrolled through a bunch of the selections in the phone info app with no luck, just HSPA and no connection.
Just got me the Dev Edition ordered. Says in stock but shipping may take 7days. Going to use mine on at&t for now

on verizons version of the sgs3, phone connects to 3g but no 4g. recently got locked out by verizon and had to reflash the stock rom via odin, since then I have re-rooted, unlocked the bootloader, and flashed CM10 nightly. while the galaxy was out of commission i reactivated by old (DINC2, 3g) phone, so i'm not sure if that had something to do with it. first noticed 4g wasn't working after flashing CM10. tried restoring to the stock rom, factory reset, pulling sim card and even suspending/reactivating service via verizonwireless.com thinking it would reset the sim card... running out of ideas on how to get the 4g to come back! please help!! any ideas or pointers are very much appreciated!

I suggest downloading the "Phone Info" app from Google Play, going under device settings, and ensuring that the "Set Preferred Network Type" drop down is set to "LTE/CDMA/EvDo".

Adding putting a few MODS on my phone it would never register 4G LTE anymore only 3G. After I downloaded that Phone Info app I selected the LTE/CDMA/EvDo as preferred and it fixed my problem. Thanks for the suggestions.

so changing my settings in the phone info app worked since my last post... but now the same thing is happening again. i did notice that in phone info, LTE/CDMA/EvDo is no longer a choice... the closest thing to this is "LTE/GSM/CDMA auto". selecting this doesn't fix the problem.
really wish i could figure out why this keeps happening! I don't remember even installing anything that might have changed any settings... since i lost 4g again, i tried all the other suggestions jaeger gave me, none helped. i also updated to the newest CM10 nightly.
any ideas?

time to take it to verizon? kinda lost in terms of what else to try. any other ideas?
so i also noticed, after going back to jaegers post, that in the mobile network settings, it keeps defaulting to EHRPD. switching it to LTE - Verizon internet doesn't change anything, but after rebooting it always reverts to EHRPD - verizon internet. don't know if this is related or not.

I've noticed that Juice Defender will cause this if you allow it to control 2G/3G/4G - in my case disabling that control in Juice Defender and then resetting things in Phone Info and the APNs fixed it. If you aren't using Juice Defender though, I'm sorry but I have no idea what else could be causing the problem, unless perhaps you have something scripted relating to data in Locale or Tasker?

yeah, i had considered that before. i do use juice defender, but since changing roms and restoring to stock hasn't fixed it i think it's safe to assume that isn't the problem.
i took the phone to a verizon store today, and apparently according to the guy that helped me, this is a known issue. he said it should be fixed with the next software update. does this even make sense since i was having the same trouble with official AND custom roms? i mean, the custom roms don't use the same software, right? regardless, i asked him to send me a new phone anyway and it should be here on monday.
he warned me that it might be a used/refurbished phone, but that i could check on this by checking the meid. anybody know how exactly i would go about doing that without having to drive to the store?
thanks!

AH ok, according to GSMarena, the Maxx lacks 850/1900mhz bands that the moto x has.

No need to unlock or root anything. Keep in mind that you need to be on a particular version of 4.2.2 (mentioned earlier in this thread I believe) in order to get LTE speeds. If you update to 4.4 you will have issues with calling and texting unless you disable LTE and stick with HSPA+

So I updated my prl and profile yesterday, and since then I have no lte connection. So far I completely wiped and reinstalled my rom, tried to reactivate service, cleared my apns and installed Sprints apn file... I'm at a loss as to what to do, any advice?
I'm in the same boat.. Did you ever find a fix?
I haven't, tried everything I know to try... I'm wondering if it's an issue with sprint...
Well the girlfriend hasn't complained about her N5 yet. I've tried a new modem , APN, field test and *#*#4636#*#*
Lost LTE on Sprint yesterday too after just rebooting my phone. I've done everything thing I can think of to get it back and nothing. Just get a empty triangle until it gives up and goes to 3G. Stopped at Sprint today to see if they had a SIM card, so I could see if my SIM card was corrupted before buying a new phone. Of course, they didn't because Sprint stores are the most useless places on Earth. Was thinking about how I wanted to go about buying a new phone, but now this seems like it might not be an isolated incident.
For those that are wondering, so far I have:
- updated prl/profile
- turned radio off and on
- reflashed the radio
- factory reset fresh install
- factory reset fresh install and flash the old sprint fix .zip (figured I'd try it for the hell of it)
- Went to a Sprint store to see if they had a different SIM to try (they didn't)
Really need to figure out if this is a hardware issue, SIM issue, or something stupid that Sprint did. I was leaning towards hardware, but if a few people from Sprint all had this happen to them on the same day...

Thanks for making me wipe my phone Sprint!

Mine is also back
So that was weird... LTE dropout specific to the Nexus 5 on Sprint. At least it came back before I went out and bought a new phone.

It may be all triband devices, no way to confirm...
I can't seem to make any phone calls, but I have data. Damn this is weird

Well that's weird for me then. I can get on here from my phone yet I can't call my voicemail.. They must be upgrading something
Any of you guys think data speeds picked up a bit since this happened? Could just be a fluke, but I'm getting faster download speeds ATM.

Mine seems to be faster too, especially inside
Since purchasing this phone about a month ago, I haven't had LTE. I checked my SIM in my wife's iPhone 6s and it pulled LTE. My t-mobile rep said they know about the issue and quickly set me up for a warranty exchange. Anyone else have this issue? If it's a known issue, why isn't anyone else talking about it?
Can you guys confirm that the S7 has a designated stock LTE icon? Mine always says 4G and Ookla says my download/upload are 7.5 and 12.2 respectfully.
EDIT: latest firmware, no case on device, in Lemoore, CA., no known outages

Everything is good here.. I get "4G LTE" in the top bar...
You said that you put your wife's SIM card in your S7 and you got LTE?

Vise versa actually. My SIM pulled LTE on her iPhone. Her SIM in my S7 only got 4G, just like my SIM does in it.

My s7 also doesn't say LTE, only 4g. Is it suppose to say LTE? I'm in a major metropolitan area and haven't seen LTE. I got 100Mbps though from home.

I have no idea if we're SUPPOSED to have a designated LTE icon. Anyone have a screenie of the illustrious icon on a T-mobile S7?

I haven't seen it but it sounds like it could be an incorrect APN setting. But I would have thought they would have you check that.

We checked the APN and even made another with T-mobiles settings manually inputted. Still nothing. The new phone comes Thursday. I will see if it's the phone, the service, or there really isn't an issue and where I live just sucks.

My Tmobile S7 never says LTE either. It always says 4G. I downloaded the LTE Discovery app from the Play Store and it clearly states that I am connected to the LTE network. It shows the signal strength, channel and tower I'm connected to. Hope that helps.

According to the screenshot, you are on Good Lock. That UI skin says 4G instead of LTE.

That seems to have been my issue here. Upon uninstalling Good Lock and restarting, my LTE popped up. Looks like my area just sucks

You guys are joking right? You're using Good Lock which uses the stock Google System UI icons. 4G = LTE
This is a pic of my homescreen, Icon shows 4G but I'm on LTE (Band 4).

No one was joking, and to comment with guns-a-blazing with the goal of offending someone isn't what this place is about. My area is suffering a congestion issue, so my LTE is still spotty. But at least I know that there is a designated LTE icon.

I do not know closest cross streets but putting just Lemoore, CA 93245 in search on the Sensorly website 4G is in surrounding areas but solid coverage is only for 3G. Check on the website and put in your cross streets. Looking on the Root Metrics coverage map shows 4G LTE.
Isn't 4g and lte the same thing?

Not really. LTE doesn't fully satisfy the requirements of a 4th generation GPRS. It is getting there, though. @42freelancer, I hope you don't do a warranty exchange over a UI bug. Do some speed tests and real use (Youtube, etc) to see what sort of service you're getting. The stock Samsung firmware for the S6 says 4G, not LTE...
