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.
I.E. Where did you learn this information?

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

Hi,
I got my Nexus 5 from a 3rd party Sprint Dealer, known as Wirefly.com -- Is anyone having problems accessing 4G LTE from Sprint? I am in the 100% best coverage zones according to Sprint.
I have done heaps of troubleshooting steps with Sprint, to no avail. They are blaming it on a faulty phone.
Anyone else having this issue?
Its been happening since I received the phone on Dec 4th.
Thank you
Are you rooted? What radios are you on?

Yeah, I am on 4.4.2.
Wirefly is currently out of stock, otherwise they said they would replace it. I am going to keep checking back with them everyday to get a new one. Any suggestions in the mean time? Sprint tech support has been hit or miss. I have been told that there is tower problems from Baltimore to Southern Virginia, then another tech support agent tells me no problems at all!
I do not know what to believe anymore or what to do!
Well i know i got perfect lte the first two weeks i had my phone, then almost three weeks without it, then now its back. I know its a sprint thing. Are you getting lte anywhere at all?

First, thank you for your replies. I am not too up to date with rooting and such, so I apologize for that in advance.
The most I can get is LTE with 1 bar. That has been when I am driving around.
I can see the tower from my Condo, and according to their coverage maps, I should be getting "LTE Best" at home and work.
Thank you again.

I switched from TMobile to Sprint (in-contract, so I had to pay to get out of TMobile) with the hopes of Sprint being better, but as of now, I have not seen that at all!
Im pretty sure it will get better when sprint rolls out spark (officially), and Google updates the radio again

Well I have every intention of still getting a new phone from Wirefly.
It was odd, did Wirefly send you the phone with the SIM (or whatever they call it ICCA?? card) inside of it already?
Any ETA on the rollout of that?
Yes the sim is already in your phone. And i don't blame you for wanting a new phone, best to rule out a bad phone

If you are on 4.4.2 then you need to root and flash a different modem or wait for google to send out an update.
Since you are getting lte but with a weak signal this is most likely the problem of course coverage maps are very vague and it may be that you are just too far from the tower.

I can literally see the tower from my balcony at my condo.
Leary of doing anything to the phone because I am going to get a new one from Wirefly when they have them in stock.

Yeah, I am only able to get 3G with 2-3 bars at a time. Like I said, if I drive around, I will barely get LTE, maybe 1 bar.
How good is the signal strength?
Anyone know of an ETA on when Google will push out a new update?

Pretty good. -91dBm from here in my bedroom. You can force lte via dialer codes such as "*#*#4636#*#*" but you will not be able to receive calls or texts.

They did heaps of dialer codes when I called tech support. I forget exactly which ones, but they made me do them several times.
Also, when going into Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Preferred Network Type > does anyone's else default to GLOBAL instead of LTE? I keep switching mine to LTE, but it shunts it back to Global randomly.... I can't figure out why...

Is it really at&t I have to blame for no marshmallow on my tablet?
I have grown so irritated with the lag behind updates with every single phone I have owned in the past 8 years or so.
But this tablet was bought unlocked! Why does at&t have a say in when I get the update? They have 0 bloatware to inject onto this thing.
And why now? Every other update was prompt along with the WiFi version.
I know y'all probably have no idea what the hold up is I just needed to vent. Peace!

Yeah... I'm just as frustrated as you mate.
No MM on the LTE version because AT&T hey.. FFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see there is a ROW (rest of world) LTE rom out. Is there a way we can just flash that (without being routed?)
This may sound like a silly question, but did you buy it from At&T directly? did you buy it used? is it the first y01 battery? The US LTE rolled out nearly two weeks ago and I'm in Canada! Currently using the US LTE b01 version received from Nvidia.
I manually flashed the ROW LTE version at first with no problems at all, then a week or so after I got the US LTE marshmallow update. Flashed it like normal and all is well.

I bought the first one from amazon and then it was recalled and this is the replacement that I have now. It wasn't used as far as I know. And I don't buy anything but service from at&t anymore.
Still everytime I check for an update it says your tablet is up to date. Still running lollipop.

I bought the LTE version from Amazon too, using it in Australia on Vodafone 4G network. Came with AT&T sim but never used it. Mine was replaced by Nvidia in the battery recall saga.
Can you flash the ROW LTE rom through the stock recovery?? Any help much appreciated

Still nothing. Android N will be here before this tablet gets M at this rate...

I'm still waiting for mine as well. Got it on Amazon and it was replaced in the recall.
As an alternative to waiting, you could check the VulKan Preview thread where there is a link to the US LTE for that (which is actually a later build than the 4.0.1 A6.0 as it is A6.0.1).

I have seen that. Seems interesting. Might check it out at some point.
I don't mind waiting. I just wish they laid out a timetable like some of these other oem's. At least HTC and Samsung both have a (ever changing)roadmap that you can check the status of your devices update.

Wait is that the Vulcan update that you are referring to or some other?
Nah no Vulkan update, since I had installed the ROW LTE version to get it asap, a few weeks later I got the US LTE update in the Nvidia Shield Update page, I updated it and now back on US LTE version. You can flash the ROW on top of the US version, no issues, may have some LTE bands missing but with my tests in Canada, I had a pretty decent speed of 8mbit/5mbit over LTE.

How did you manage to flash the RoW rom? I don't see any flashable zips available.
I have not been able to get an MM update for my US LTE either. I'm using an RMA replacement for the one they shipped me for the battery recall.

That's because the MM update is being held up by AT&T for the US LTE model.
To work around this, one can flash the RoW image instead. The tablet will from now on receive timely OTA updates and AFAIK, there are no repercussions as the US LTE modem firmware files are included with the RoW image. Basically you now have an AT&T crapware-free tablet!

I have a stock unrooted tablet. I was hoping MM and a factory reset would fix the couple things I get irritated with without rooting. But I guess if that's what I need to do...
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using Tapatalk
How exactly do you flash this RoW LTE MM Image? The thread was a little confusing.
You can just download the files from nvidia's site and do it fastboot flash everything. They provide clear instructions with the file. There was a RoW LTE flashable zip but the creator removed it. I used it and for some reason or another I couldn't get it to work w/ external SD card. So while the LTE worked, not being able to write on the external SD was a no go for me. Just using RR for now until they finally release the US LTE version and hopefully with external SD write issue fixed. Already tried all kinds of xposed modules but none worked.

Very true which confuses me to no end. Why do it to these new phones and not the XZP.

I'm not really sure what is involved in making this work, but it seems strange to do it for the new "standard" phones and not the current premium one. Maybe there will be some way to port it over? I'd love to have this working but I don't really want to downgrade my phone to do so.

Cool. I just ordered a XZ Premium of swappa. I'll give it a go for a bit until the V30 comes out.
I called T-Mobile and got the APN data seems to work pretty well. I get LTE signal now but I don't know if that includes VOLTE. I'm pretty noob with some of this, so I'm not sure how this all shakes down
The problem is when you make a call, it switches from LTE and changes to HSPA. You will run into problems when your area has no HSPA and full LTE. In that scenario, you will not be able to make calls.
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
I was just on an extended back and forth with Sony Xperia support (3 different times today) and they assured me that the XZ Premium does indeed support wifi calling through T-Mobile US. Maybe they baked Volte into Oreo?
Unless it's baked into an upcoming update, this is not the case. I sold mine a few weeks ago, but it had Oero already and it didn't have wifi calling or VOLTE on T-Mobile.

Hey. Sorry for the delay.
LTE Band 4 works just fine in SF. I am not impacted at all.
Using the LTE Discovery app, my Pixel XL also rides on band 4 so I am getting the same thing on the HTC U11+.
