LTE Toggle on AT&T Phone - official response from HTC

"I looked into the situation on this and I can verify that there is not a native way to disable LTE on the AT&T version of the One X. While we don't normally recommend this, you may want to check the Play store to see if there's an app that will give you this functionality. Please be aware that if you run into any concerns through the use of such software we can certainly try and offer assistance, but the use of such an app is at your sole discretion. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns, and thanks for being a member of the HTC community!"
If enough people report this or ask about this. I am hopeful that they'll add LTE toggle natively in the interface.

They could add a toggle, but....I don't think it would work.
I'm pretty sure that AT&T, whether it be in ther SIMS, or just over the network, force the phones to allow LTE. I don't think that I have even been able to disable 3G on an AT&T device since my Moto Backflip. Ha, if I even could on there. (Though technically, the Backflip was my second device...Aria was the first and I broke it thus had to downgrade
tl;dr The problem is AT&T, not software. Custom ROMs with LTE toggles would have the same issue so I can't see how HTC would be able to fix it either
Someone correct me if I'm an idiot

You can toggle off 3G on the AT&T iPhones. Looks like AT&T just has HTC by the balls (pardon my French). Locked bootloader, presumed kernel release delay....
I'd love to be able to turn off LTE when I don't need it. HSPDA is plenty fast to check email and forums (and way better on the battery).

Never knew that, I admittedly haven't tried on this device. But it makes me wonder why I couldn't disable 3G on my Atrix.
Thanks, since I live in a Non LTE area I might as well keep it disabled for convenience

here you go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27697880&postcount=1

also if you use ASIA 1.88 the option is also there. with the auto switch. so its ATT being douches

its actually pretty simple why ATT wants to force LTE when they can, it simply means you'll use more data, and the more data you use, the more money they make.
Here's just an example, you open a 10 minute youtube video with 3g, you watch maybe 30 seconds and decide not to watch anymore. You may have downloaded 1-2 minutes worth of streaming data, where as with LTE, in that same 30 seconds, you could have downloaded the entire 10 minutes, thus causing more data usage.

that menu from the gsm hack doesnt work though. or it never worked for me anyway. no matter what option I picked it would just go back to the default

It probably built into at&t kernal to not allow it, in did notice with 1.88 kernal you could.

yeah im on scotts 4.0. i flashed OneXL_1.85_Tether_Unlock.zip

Now the big question is, how much better is your battery life when you turn off LTE?
Can anyone safely notice an increase that isn't placebo?
Care to test formally, anyone?

You can disable LTE by adding a new APN which uses wap.cingular. This does work on att without any problems. You can find the APN settings here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675879&highlight=cingular+apn
It does make a noticeable difference in battery life, too.

Weeding out the Problem

My Phone: verizon Samsung galaxy (SCH-I535 running ParanoidAndroid Version 2.51), Using the Rom's Stock Messaging app
The Issue:
My girlfriend (iphone5) randomly does not receive text messages I send. Roughly 1/15 texts will not make it through.
I have no idea how to isolate this problem, as it could either be on my end or hers.
We both text a small group of individuals, and no one has yet to complain about not receiving texts.
It didn't happen before on my droid x, with her having the same phone, so I'm under the impression it is most likely on my end?
Although, I was also under the impression when a messaged displayed "sent", SMS guaranteed delivery from my end?
If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it as I'm half tempted to revert back to my old Droid X just to be able to use basic phone functions (SMS)

All that "sent" means is that it successfully went from your phone, through Verizon's towers and then out. Doesn't mean the recipient received the text. Do you both have Verizon?

On a side note.... Synergy rom is alot slower than parnoid, but I will obviously be able to make that sacrafice if able to send txt's properly. lol

Bump

It might be her phone. Delete the entire text thread on her phone. Go in to her contacts and delete your contact. Send her a text message and have her save it as a new contact. See if that resolves it. A lot people are saying iphone 5s are doing this a lot because of the way the phone number is formatted.
Also try having her turn off imessage and test it.

Initial impressions of Samsung Pay

So today I went ahead an opened a Bank of America account so I could try Samsung pay.
Initial setup: Initial setup is a pain, you have to call BoA after you open the account and answer 4 obscure questions from your "credit check".
Usage: I've used the card 3 times now. I've discovered you want to scan your finger print after the machine is waiting for the card. If you scan your fingerprint before the swipe card, you can actually crash the POS machine. So today I crashed a local gasstation POS.
If anyone has any questions, shoot away.

Has anyone else experienced this or can emulate the results?

I have not experienced this. I got my account working yesterday but have had mixed results. It worked using NFC at McDonald's, but I haven't been able to get the MST to work, it failed at Starbucks and a local frozen yogurt place.
I feel like such an idiot when it doesn't work, with the cashier looking at me like "why are you putting your phone next to where I swipe a card?"

I've had mixed results so far. When it works, it works great! I have found that while it may work at some places, there are some lime 7-11 that it doesn't. I get declined at 7-11
Sent from my SM-N920T using XDA Free mobile app

I've been using samsung pay at different locations using the MST technology and it all work's just fine. When I say MST I mean places that's don't even have NFC terminals. So far loving Samsung Pay

I use it with the nfc off. Only mst everywhere. I find its has worked everywhere but one of the two 711s I've been to, and the Starbucks I frequent.
It seems when ever I use it where there is no nfc, the cashier is always sooo curious. Prolly deal with apple pay users everyday throwing a fit they don't have the technology yet.
I agree. Sooooo embarrassing when it doesn't work. I also try not to use it where the scanner is on the POS systems behind the counter(like starbucks).

Yes, you can use it without NFC on, but only if you are using the MST type of transaction.

Ok people! (sorry for all caps just wanna get my message across).... For everyone having issues with it at like starbucks and 7-11....what i've found out that works for me is to run it as "credit"... Don't use it as debit.... I think it confuses the pos somehow? Give it a try!

Yes but the apk is inside the zip in the app\SasungPayStub folder. I haven't ran stock in a long time but I thought you can use a file explorer and sideload the apk can't you? You need to make sure that Unknown sources is turned on in your Lock screen and security settings.

I got declined at first at 711 but that was cause the person behind the register canceled payment when I put phone up cause he didn't know that SSP works with their old system. I told him it works and he set it to pay again and he was mind blown

That's Sprint's usual answer to missing features - "it will roll out soon."
If you are having network or signal issues, it's always, "We were working on towers in your area".

Sprint would always tell me I should be getting LTE and I never did. Then, I got my Note 7 and my area is covered in LTE. It's just my old device (One m7) didn't receive all the available LTE bands. The network really has come a long way.

Is the A.26 version any newer? It seems the version number is different across countries and a higher number doesn't necessarily mean it is newer than one in a different region.

Try the Netherlands or Belgium.. I got the update here in Belgium

working ok here. you can always get updates from oppo website and patch manually.

It seems the version number is different across countries and a higher number doesn't necessarily mean it is newer than one in a different region.

This is definately the case, seems to be totally random what the version numbers mean (I've seen people in here with higher version number, but older security updates). Bizarre phone this one

I'm on A.24 with June security update, I think I got that by using VPN to Switzerland.
Is the A.26 version any newer? It seems the version number is different across countries and a higher number doesn't necessarily mean it is newer than one in a different region.

I can confirm this behavior, I have the exact same update log, but I am on the A.23 in my region.

I had a suspicion that this was the case, but can't really fathom why different regions would have different version numbers.
After a while this would get very confusing for even Oppo themselves.
Overall, I think it is more important to look at the update log instead of the version number alone.
