[Q] Unlocked T-Mobile One S has No/Very Less signal with AT&T Sim

Hi Guys,
Need your help urgently. I have changed to AT&T recently and thought I could use my T-Mobile One S.
I have Sim unlocked the phone using the SIM unlock guide. Till here everything is fine.
Now there is no signal when I insert my ATT sim in to the phone. At the same place my old S2 use to have almost full signal.
I have tried changing the radio. Which ever radio(TMOB, Bell...) I use the result is same, no signal..Once while going to office I could see 1 bar and that is the maximun till now.
Could it be a Hardware problem?? Can you guys please provide your suggestions to resolve the issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Any help Plz....

[Q] Switch from Sprint to Straight Talk

XDA I really need your help.
So I am with Sprint at the moment and just bought a Straight Talk sim to try out before I commit and ditch Sprint. I can not get the sim to work and get cell signal. I know the sim works because I popped it in my girlfriends HTC one X and it picked up a signal at least.
The thing is, I don't have any place in my settings to change APNs or anything. It's like the phone is modified for CDMA somehow. I bought it from Google Play and not Sprint.
Any help is really appreciated.
Did you switch it to GSM? You may have to do it in *#*#4636#*#*.

You need to switch the phone from CDMA mode to GSM mode the only way I know of doing this is factory reset with the GSM Sim card inside the phone. If anyone can add anything else/methods please post :good:

[Q] us cellular note 2 to page plus not getting 3g please help

Hello everyone hope you can help me.
I did a full flash using fla****now.com on my us cellular note 2 sch-r950 to page plus and I got talk and txt to work but not 3g. I had gotten a USED Verizon 4g lte sim card which was what I was told would work to get 3g, but since it did not work now I've been asking around and people have told me that since the sim is 4g it is not needed to get 3g. That even w/o a sim card I should be able to get 3g but that the 3g on the phone might not be showing. I have also read that you can get 3g only with a us cellular 4g sim card, so I'm really confused.
The phone says "no sim" with the verizon 4g lte sim card so don't know if it read it I could get 3g if what I was initially told was true.... Another thing is that my old Verizon phone has a different prl than this us cellular note 2 and I am not getting service where I used to get service. Question, if I change the prl to the one that my old phone had would the note 2 give me the same coverage? I had my old phone with page plus too, just did the esn change before it was flashed. And if that would work how do I do it? One last thing does anyone know how to get 3g on this us cellular note 2 sch-r950? I really need the 3g working bc I fill my paperwork online.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long post but the better explained the better the help no?
Thank you!

Did you ever get data working? If not, I think I can help.
First did you put in a micro sim (preferrably not Verizon) t mobile att etc... Also you can root and freeze setup wizard to get rid of the "non Verizon sim card" message. Thirdly if your username and keys are wrong HDR an long, PPP and the ha and AAA usernames and passwords, then you will only have talk and text and no 3g data.
Flashing sim card models is tricky. I believe I can help.
If you already have this done and data working, please share what you did so we can learn from each other and share the knowledge wealth for the whole community. Thanks

[Q] NO 4g lte using straight talk att sim

Hi, i got my z3 today love it , coming from htc one m7 , using same SS sim had to cut it to micro worked right away , but the only difference is on my htc using same settings i got 4g the whole time on z3 just h and h+ i did the auto internet as well and it gave same setting pretty much i had before , any help advice would be great , thanks in advance
btw it works fine just no 4g emblem
it works ok
You have to update the Mobile settings to LTE/WCDMA/GSM. If there is an LTE signal in the area it will catch it. I am also using the straight talk AT&T model SIM, which I cut to size myself.

hi, yes we have lte in our area on my htc one it always lit up 4g at the signal bars but even so this phone is h plus mostly as the signal it still has better signal in areas the other phone didnt im assuming its because i have the old straight talk sim card att which is on the cingular type mvno etc. not the tracefone one ?

Did the HTC show 4G or 4G LTE? 4G = H+, 4G LTE = LTE.

it only showed 4g on the htc one , my wife has a motorola x and it shows 4g , so maybe being i have the older att sim card for ss it only will get h+ = 4g ? but on the sony it shows up h+ instead of 4g like the other phones mentioned? thats weird ,, the reason i have not uprgraded my card to the newer tfdata tracefone att sims for ss is i heard they monitor your data more ? is this true ? if nothing changes but signal speed then i will buy the new sim card for my phone ? also my other question is if i do get newer sim for my phone will my account and all stay the same or will i have to let them know i got a new sim card ?
right now when i do a speed test i get ping 86 download 6.71 mbps upload 1.24 mbps when on my wife its off the charts in the 40 to 45 mbps range , lmk will this get better and what will i see as a change ? i have had this sim so long now im scare i will mess up a good thing lol
thanks in advance

I can't say for sure if its the SIM, mine is about a year and a half old when I chopped it up and I do get it. If you do get LTE some of the time then I would think it may be the SIM as you suggested or simply the way that your phone receives the signal. Why not try another SIM, are you sure that you have setup your mobile settings

I think you misunderstood.
Phones sold in the US by AT&T and T-Mobile show "4G" when they are on HSPA+. Unlocked international phones tend to show the correct "H+" indicator however. If you have an AT&T HTC One, and it is showing 4G, you are on HSPA+, so the equivalent on a international Z3 will be H+. If the HTC One is showing "4G LTE" then you should see LTE on the Sony.

My MMS settings are as attached. I haven't used the Cingular settings and multimedia messages do not work for me, however, I have no issues getting LTE signal in my city (Chicago).

Yes but it doesn't matter. You're still on HSPA+ with both phones, but the HTC will show 4G and the Sony will show H+. When the HTC is showing 4G, go into phone status and it will say HSPA+

hi, the other guy up top showed his att sim ss card is the newer version so im thinking if i changed i would get a faster speed anyway , do u know what your speeds are doing the speedtest? and is yours the same phone? btw my card is the way older version which some say stick with till it dies because they monitor the new ones more for data , i have never had anyone or anything cut me off for my data as of now 3 yrs plus

Most likely won't make a difference. The SIM just authenticates you on the network. Regardless of how old your SIM is, if AT&T wants to see your activity, they can see everything.

i read that the lte isnt recongnized on the older att.mvno, so it will only cost me 7 bucks to get teh new nano sim att ss card , i may as well give it a shot if it gets me stronger signal lol
wow i have been missing out on speeds from 4glte ,, so i did what i said and ordered me a nano sim att card from straight talk btw right now they are $.99 free overnight shipping untill dec. 19th ,, anyway i got it , then i called SS a very nice lady said no problem and that my card was indeed not the same card it was on the old 4g or less data , so we set this puppy up in about 10 mins on the phone and in 30 mins my old sim went dead as she said it would then i installed the new card rebooted my phone and voila it was working but then i setup the app from ss she mentioned in google play for free and did as it said for setting up internet and mms messaging and yes it is the tfdata tracfone one and rebooted and bamm i had lte and i ran a speed test and i got 45 mbps versus 6.15 mbps and 28 mpbs vs. 1.05 mbps so yes she is fast like my wifi , i hope this helps others
IF U HAVE A CARD WITH CINGULAR SETUP IT IS THE OLD CARD SO JUST BUY THE NEW SIM FOR 4GLTE AND U WILL BE GOOD TO GO
btw thanks for all who tried to help , really appreciate it
