I know you will drop 3g data on a call. That I completely understand. But this is the first device I've used that is dropping my lte data during a call. I'm not sure if this is a rom issue or a modem issue.
I am on sprint, and not sure if this is an isolated issue for sprint customers or across the board.
Another issue I would like to see resolved is patching native tethering. I'm currently stuck using WiFi tether app in ad-hoc mode. Which unfortunately my nexus 7 can't attach to.
In case you're wondering I'm running slim kat currently. I've tried cm and stock before rooting and all formats have dropped LTE on call.
Probably because there is no voice over LTE. Same happens on Rogers too.

But I've always had voice over LTE on Sprint. Just not with this phone. Galaxy nexus, and HTC one never had that issue.
If it's something I have to live with, that's fine. I just would like to see this feature implemented if possible.
maybe its the way the radio is designed for this phone?
thats my only guess.

Nope, not going to happen. It requires a very specific setup with the radios that results in poor battery life. Sprint does not run with voice over LTE, it's simply running calls as normal and keeping LTE active at the same time.
In addition, large portions of Sprint's network outright do not support this functionality anyway.
I just got my One+ and i had notice that I do not have LTE H+ only. My wife's nexus has LTE in the same area where Oneplus does not have it. I Did bunch of research and I was under impression that this phone does support T mobile LTE - was I wrong or the phone is broken?
please help

sure it does if when doing your research like I did on mine I see it works on Band 4 which is T-Mobiles band for LTE. I get speeds up to 36dl and 19up with my ONe.
What are your speeds? Does your wifes Nexus show H+ and 3g symbols?

Nexus shows LTE when my phone shows H+
I used the app that you send the link for and when One+ has H+ on it app tells me that i am on HSPA 42.2 MBS
I will need to install same app on Nexus and check it out on that phone
What symbol do you get on your oneplus one when its on LTE? is it 4G? LTE? H?
thanks

I am sorry I may of had stock rom for like an hour... I think it was 4g symbol but I have a custom rom and it shows LTE. I noticed that some of the same lines in the build.prop for LTE on my nexus was not in here for my OPO.
What state are you in?

But I think I got it figured out - You are right it works in LTE - when i had 4G on screen i used the app you send me link for and that app shows LTE as network. So the bottom line is that 4G stands for LTE in stock rom and it is possible that Nexus has a stronger radio than One so in some areas i do not get LTE.
Anyway Thanks a Lot for your help - got a little worried ( Got the phone just yesterday). I think i will keep it stock for a little while before i will root it
The radio performance seems the same for me as my N5, I'm living in NYC.
Do note that "LTE" on a Nexus 5 is displayed as"4G" on the OnePlus One. Ensure that your APN is on T-Mobile 4G LTE IPv6 (fast.t-mobile.com), for some reason when I started my phone it was on MetroPCS instead.

nah root it its more fun that way and fyi they just came out with an update to 4.4.4 stock from what I have been reading. I saw this posted in earlier.... I guess you will be getting an update soon.
One suggestion if you plan on rooting and unlocking bootloader I suggest doing it now since it will wipe everything when rooting... There is a method where you wont lose data but it will not unlock your bootloader

To OP: How old is your SIM card? Have you ever received LTE signal on a previous device? I receive LTE on TMobile 4G perfectly fine, I just wish the "4G" showed up as "LTE" as my Nexus 5 did. I guess I could personally go skin it to say LTE instead but its just cosmetics.
And I completely agree with unlocking the bootloader, even if OP doesn't have any intentions to rooting/flashing, at least do it now so when you do decide to do it then you will be able to back everything up without having your device get wiped.
Edit: OP also go into dialer and type in *#*#4636#*#* then go into phone information -> scroll down -> under set preferred network type: LTE/GSM auto (PRL).

Thanks for all the info - changed network to set preferred network type: LTE/GSM
My concern is llosing warranty, every phone i had was rooted - this is just new toy so I am concern about loosing warranty
In your experience what is the best way to unlock/ root - saw few all in one tolls on the forum - any advise
PS: how can Thank to all of you for help?
Found the thanks button - thanked all of you Guys for help
I thought the same thing (coming from a Nexus 5). I was worried that the OnePlus One did not support LTE but it definitely does. For some reason Cyanogen did not include a separate LTE icon as what's found on the Nexus 5 and most other LTE capable phones.

For sure its weird how they didn't adopt "LTE" and used "4G" instead. You can always go and change it to "LTE" with some apk hacking. Pretty easy to do.

So does your phone get "4G" now? You can verify in Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> Mobile network type -> should be LTE if the top right says "4G"
The best way to unlock/root is to NOT use a toolkit. Yeah a toolkit is easier, but honestly unlocking a bootloader is not hard and the skills you obtain by doing it yourself are important. You won't lose warranty, you can always relock it and use the bit mod and OnePlus will never know. Plus OnePlus encourages the whole custom rom scene since thats why they have a Development forum on their official forums.

I called AT&T to have the IMEI changed over to the OPO since I was on the Nexus5. CyanogenMod doesn't technically come with LTE icon, personally I can careless but it does look nice at top lol. And you're correct on my device under Mobile Network Type it shows LTE but icon on top shows 4G.
4G is LTE
H+ is HSPA+
3G is ... 3G
edge is edge :crying:
The first speed test in my sig is my LTE speeds using my OPO... Pretty typical, maybe a little faster than my old Galaxy Note 2. :good:
how does one change it to the LTE symbol?
I'm just curious. If you know 4G means LTE, whats the difference if it says LTE? Not trying to be an A-hole...just curious.
If you run the CM11 nightlies on the OnePlus One the phone will show LTE in an LTE area. Only the stock CM11S shows LTE as 4G.
I would think that people on xda are more well informed.
Carriers like to change the official terms to make you "buy" into a "technological" leap.
Most of the roms outside North America uses 4G (instead of LTE). This is all about marketing.
HSPA(+) are 3rd generation networks while LTE is the 4th generation.
back in the day:
iPhone = edge speed 2.75G
iPhone 3G = HSPA 3G (7.2) speed
iPhone 4 = HSPA+ 3.5G (carriers in north america tried really hard to change this to 4G)
iPhone 5 = LTE 4G
See this article (how At&t tried to play this game)
search on google as i m not able to post links yet.

I agree fully with Line 1 - especially here we should do more homework before posting...
my oneplus signal is terrible compared to my n5
Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
mine is better then g2. Do note that your phone may or may not have the bands your provider has for lte. This you should have checked before you got the phone.
Also delete apn and reboot.
If it works better something went wrong there. If it doesnt check your providers website if setings are all correct.
If they are you might need a new sim/ or lte enabled via your provider.
In my Nexus 5 whenever I enable data signal drops time to time.I changed the sim card too but it didnt solve it either.Looks like it happens only in 3g network because I didnt notice it in 4G LTE.
No matter which ROM i have in my phone, this happened in KitKat (full stock), PA, Lollipop (full stock).
I put my sim into a Galaxy S3 and it worked fine. So I think this is a issue in my phone, not on the sim.
Anybody else having this issue?
Any solutions?

It finds the best network. If you enable it for voice only, I would imagine it would only look for best voice connection which could be 2G, but then when you enable data - it needs 3g. Just making a guess here

Thanks for the idea. I changed the settings to 3G in Preferred network type and looks like it has solved the problem! No signal drops for few minutes.Will test more and report back!

Hey Everyone,
I have searched multiple threads and google for an answer to fix the Droid Maxx issue on ATT. Whenever I put the phone on global it works fine for about 20mins getting HSPA+ then all the sudden tries to pick up 4GLTE and the phone stops working no data no phones. So I end up having to switch airplane mode on and off to get it to work again for another 20mins. I can only get it to work when I have it on LTE/GSM/UMTS and I only accept GSM networks which then sticks me on EDGE only. I tried putting in APN settings for ATT and still get the same results when its on global or GSM/UMTS both selected. Ive read everywhere that it works fine on ATT and Tmobile GSM HPSA+ Networks which it does until it tries to go onto 4G LTE network. Any advice would be great thanks!
Hmmm So I continued to look for a solution and it seems 4.4 has issues with LTE on GSM carriers. I found a nice little app that lets me turn off LTE and I am able to get HPSA+ again and no issues with calls/messages. I guess until a fix comes out I wont be able to get LTE but no biggy the battery life on the Maxx makes up for it. I could always root it and go down to 4.2 I have found some posts that said it works.
Is it fully updated?
The Dirtydee Z3
I've been using my Maxx on Cricket (AT&T towers) for a while and I'll get LTE when I first boot up the phone but after maybe 5 minutes it'll go to HSPA+ and stay there until I reboot again. Kind of weird but I haven't had any data issues period.
Hey guys I was gifted a (used) M8. It came with the lastest official CM12.1, everything unlocked. I have found that network will stop working randomly and switching airplane mode on and off will do the trick. Thing is, I have missed important calls because of this. I've already researched the subject and no one seems to have a solution. This post is my last attempt at fixing this issue. Only details I can give you is I am using a Verizon phone on MetroPCS, and I suppose that has something to do with it. Also, is there any (preferably free) way to get my phone to automatically switch airplane mode on and off every 15 minutes or so when the screen is off?Thanks in advance!

Have you tried using a stock ROM or changing radios? Is your firmware up to date?
Can't speak from experience from using a cm12 ROM, but generally stock usually works better with signal over AOSP, especially if you're in a poor signal area.
I used to have similar problems, turned out WCDMA and LTE bands that my carrier used were disabled.
For my case (T-Mobile), I simply activated WCDMA 2 & 4 and LTE 2 & 4 and now have signal almost 24/7.
You can do this with CDMA tool since your phone is Verizon branded.
As for automatically cycling Airplane Mode, I'd imagine Tasker can do that.
