Database Info

is the One S also and LTE phone in us ?

I saw a specks sheet somewhere and I think I saw that is it supports LTE also. Does that mean when T-Mobil in US rolls out their LTE network we will also be able to use one LTE? If so this bone is getting better every day. I've only had it for 2 days so far.

It's not an LTE capable phone.

When people state things as fact they should site their sources.

Exactly, that is because it's not an LTE phone. If it was an LTE phone it would be listed in the specs or mentioned in a review.

It's funny cause in the building.prop there's stuff on lte. I'll have to pull it up again and take a pic. Not sure if it means it will but it's there.
EDIT: Check this, https://dl.dropbox.com/u/57716148/onesbuildprop.docx, it's a choot chowing lte support one the one s. it's right in the build prop

This only works if you are on ATT if you are on another carrier all you will get is Edge.

You have to get a device that uses the same bands. Devices in the US use different bands depending on the carrier. You won't be able to do anything about it on the inspire

Do you realize there is a huge difference between CDMA and GSM right. In the us they all use different 3g bands.
You should always research your device before you by it. Mainly if buying a device from another county

The best thing to do is find out what bands your carrier uses. Then compare it to the ones for a phone you like. If att doesn't work then T-Mobile maybe a better option as they use the Euro bands where ATT doesnt

Your best bet is to use probably a t-mobile phone from US or phones from SE asia and europe for indian subcontinent countries. AT&T based 3G phones will probably wont work there...but again like zelendel said, check it out with your service provider first...

[Q] How do I know if my phone can get 4G

It's probably a silly question but I don't know how to check. I bought an HTC One X off ebay, it' s brand new and unlocked (but I can tell it used to be on orange.). I'm currently on O2 but thinking about switching so I can get 4G but I won't bother if my phone can't get it. So how do I know if it can use the 4G network?
Thanks in advance.

Assume you are talking LTE (although the official definition of "4G" was revised to include evolved forms of HSPA).
For LTE compatibility, you have to find the specs for the exact model of One X you have (which may get confusing) and find out what band/frequency of LTE the phone is compatible with. Don't confuse this with the GSM or HSPA bands, you've got to look for the LTE band.
Then you need to find the LTE band/frequency used by your carrier. If the LTE frequencies are the same (phone is compatible with your carrier's LTE network) and the phone is unlocked, it should work.
Keep in mind that frequency/band support is most usually set in hardware. So the phone has to be equipped (in hardware) with the correct band. No amount of radio flashing will change the LTE band.

Thanks for your help. So how do I find out the exact model of my phone?

And therein lies the challenge. Matching your phone to a model number or accurate specs is not an easy thing. Telling us what carrier version or country would be a good start.
Also, be sure to hit the "thanks" button for any of my posts that you find helpful.

Thanks! I'm on O2 pay as you go but I bought the phone unlocked from eBay, it was previously on the orange network. I'm in the UK and I'm pretty sure the phone is a UK model.
I can't find the thanks button on this app but ill be sure to press it when I check in on my laptop

[Q] No HSPA+

Hi, I recently got a HTC one X and a Three Sim. According to the network checker I'm in the ultra fast area, I don't ever seem to get a HSPA+ 21MBIT Signal, I'm using a app called Network Signal Info, the max it goes to is HSPA 14.4MBIT, I checked the specs on my phone and it does support HSPA+ 21MBIT.
Anyone know why I never get the HSPA+ signal/speed ? My brother on the same network in the same area gets HSPA+, he has a Samsung Note 2.

You want to make sure you have the right APN settings. Are you rooted or on stock software? I don't know how that career works, but for AT&T, different sim cards with differently. There are LTE sim cards, HSPA+, sim cards, or just plan EDGE sim cards. You want to make sure that is something as well. Can you provide a bit more information? HSPA is bascially the basic 3G service (at least here in the states). Also, what spectrum is that career using?

Hi, thanks for your reply, I've checked the APN settings and they seem fine, I'm using the stock firmware (Android 4.1). My other brother who's on Tmobile has a HTC one S, he gets the HSPA+ 21, i put his sim in my one X and it doesn't go above HSPA 14.4, he tried my sim in his and he get hspa+ 21, so it seems the issue is with the phone.
I'm about to do a factory reset, hopefully that'll sort it out, if not i'm going to have to contact HTC.

I still don't know of you are rooted or not. You may want to ruu to determine if it is a hardware issue. If not then contact HTC.

Hi the phone isn't rooted. The Reset didn't work, sent a email to HTC. I really don't want to root the phone, will wait and see what HTC say.

Alright then. Not going to advise rooting. If you have the 3.18 software then I don't know what could be the reason.

My software number is 3.14.401.31.
HTC Replied saying:
"Thank you for contacting HTC regarding your HTC One X.
My name is X and I am a Technical Support Agent for the HTC Written Team.
I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties with accessing HSPA+ on your device.
In regards with this, there is no network within the UK that supports any speed above 14.4MB using HSPA. If there has been a carrier modification applied to allow DCHSDPA then it may be possible although the HTC One X and HTC One S do not support this.
If it is the HTC One SV then this would allow DCHSDPA to function if the modification has been applied by your network provider."
So how can they explain why others get HSPA+ and I don't? an inferior phone (HTC ONE S) gets HSPA+ with my sim but I don't, even with the sim's swapped i still don't get HSPA+ 21mbit.

Couldn't tell you. But you have the international one x, so this is the wrong forums for you.

[Q] How can the 4G frequency be changed from 1700mhz to 1800 mhz

I've searched for 3 days now, trying to get some info on this, there are various discussions on xda and on other sites that come along the same line, most of the answers are:
No it can't be done - it's hardware related - there are different variants for each region (seems this is not the case with the ONE)
You need someone with QPST but it probably can not be done.
But there is none that actually clears it up, it's mostly "I think it is...................."
What I found out is that the chip regulating 4G LTE connectivity on all HTC one variants is the same (600 MHz Hexagon QDSP6V5A part of the MSM8974 chip and it can sport the ALL LTE frequencies), so it is not a hardware difference between the EMEA and the Verizon, now the question is do I need someone with this QPST or will it only be a case of changing the baseband - all this, is my own conclusion, feel free to give me feedback on this
now on the Verizon site LTE spec says:
Network: LTE Band 13/4 (700/1700 MHz)
CDMA/1xEVDO Rev. A (800/1900 MHz)
the HTC site for Verizon says 4G LTE:
EMEA: 800/900/1800/2600 MHz
Verizon: 700/AWS/1800/2600 MHz
Yet I still don't get any 4G
Sadly there is so much info and it's hard to follow it all. So please can someone explain what and how things actually work?
Why do I need to know all this? Cause I have a Verizon m8 and I'm using it in Europe and I can't get 4G - atm I'm using Insertcoin with ElementalX 8.0.5 kernel and everything is working on the phone aside 4G - I flashed various roms on it, never had ANY problem, aside small things that a Google search solved.
Anyone that can enlighten me? Any help would be appreciated.

Each model must have a different *antenna* configuration so that they are optimized to their respective regions. The *antenna* is separate from the actual radio you mentioned above. This is why there are so many models, which I thought I had explained in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2710720&page=5
Even if you could override what band the phone connected to, the performance would be abysmal. The fix for this would be to physically change the antenna. If you could do this on your own, you deserve an honorary degree in electrical engineering since antenna design isn’t the easiest thing in the world. Here’s where to start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_equations
Since there is a discrepancy between the Verizon and HTC spec sheets, I would do the following:
1.) Focus your research on seeing which one is correct by contacting HTC and Verizon.
2.) If Verizon’s is correct, you’re done. Romania’s carriers only transmit LTE on 1800 Mhz (band 3). Otherwise…
3.) If HTC’s sheet is correct, focus on why you can’t detect 1800 MHz. It must be something in your unlock method or Verizon really locked the hell out of the radios for some reason.

Hi Macusu,
Just to remember, I believe the problem is not only related to the antenna itself, maybe there are other kind of locks since, as discussed in the other topic, Here in Brazil and I`m not being able to attach it to 4G 2600MHz (Even if the phone supports this frequency).

Thing is they are waiting for all the tools atm, I mean they don't yet have all the new kits for it, it should be arriving, and the engineer is actually a certified person being one that works in a certified HTC service, so once we get the entire .... kit, he will start working on it toghther with the software engineer and so on, hope that it will all sort out, i did get another phone in the mean time as well, but as i said i will be reporting back.
Thank
