Hey guys. I'm using my sprint s6 edge on T-Mobile. I know on the verizon models you can just leave it on global mode and it will go to LTE,
But on the sprint s6 edge, when i go to global, it says tmobile LTE on about phone>status but I cant configure a data connection. I have to switch back to HSPA+ to configure APN
ANy ideas on how to make LTE work? if even possible
How did you get your sprint s6 edge to work on t-mobile? Also I believe sprint models can only receive HSPA+.

I have the same question.. I purchased a sprint s6 edge from eBay and used idone app to carrier unlock. But I'm only getting 3g. Is there a way to get LTE using T-Mobile?
First a question: Does everything else work on the phone on T-Mobile? I've considered buying one on ebay because they're cheaper than the other varients of the S6 edge.
Now to answer your question: Call T-Mobile and have them enter your IMEI number as being LTE capable. It takes about 30 seconds, then reboot the phone. If it works you will have LTE. I just did it last week on my LG Optimus G Pro. T-Mobile doesn't recognise the AT&T IMEI of my phone, but now that it's in the system ... BAM LTE BABY!
To get LTE working you have to make another apn exactly like your regular tmobile apn but set the bearer to LTE. and leave your network mode to Automatic.
i just tried to set bearer as LTE and then i got no data on my sprint s6 on cricket/att. can anyone confirm ever having lte on these phones? i seen another thread where someone says they have it but they dont reply on the s6 section due to no roms. has anyone tried flashing a tmobile rom without the modem and then installing a sprint s6 unikernel? ive gotten gsm roms to boot but my baseband was unknown and had to flash a sprint rom again to make gsm calls. we could figure this out if people worked together .

This kind of worked for me. The LTE works, however I can't send or receive text messages (MMS works though). Texts work when I switch it back to 3G.
Edit: I'm using an unlocked sprint galaxy s6 edge on T-Mobile.
Has anyone has any luck with this? I'm still at the point where I have HSPA+ on T-Mobile but no LTE.
Everything is working for me 920p. Had sprint unlock the phone.
Had to use the epc.tmobile apn not the fast.tmobile one. (Google it)
I only had 3g for a while, then I found you have to get your msl code do the ##data# on phone keypad. Go to edit enter your msl code.
Go to LTE it will be disabled, enable it. Go back. Go to CA enabled(I think) enable that also (carrier aggregation), it will reboot now it works for me.
Its only been a day but SMS,MMS calls all work. I've seen something about voicemail not working but I use Google voice and it works so idk.
I'm on the 6.0.1 stock. Don't know if that matters.
Edit- this did work, but two days later I had LTE but no call service. Its my business phone so I had to revert to 3g only, Im thinking now its the ROM that is the problem. Because your only option is LTE/CDMA or GSM. If you leave it on automatic which is what I had it on, it can switch to CDMA I guess and that's when I lost cell service. On a T-Mobile ROM I think there is an option for GSM/LTE

I have 6.0.1 stock os. Dsu by stifilz. Get lte 4g sometimes. 3g is kinda fast. Cannot send mms tho. Can recieve thm. Sm g920p.
Has this been resolved? been thinking about picking up a Sprint S6 from a family for Tmobile :[
I have lte after adding a apn but mms is a no go.
anyway to get mms working on T-Mobile?
agree no MMS
Hi Guys, SM-G920P working with HSPA+ and LTE on T-Mobile with MMS working. Unlocked with idoneapps and couldn't get lte. I resolved by turning on domestic data roaming.

Add 2nd apn with bearer set to lte. Switch frm cdma/lte back to gsm/lte, after restart. Make sure wifi is off.

I have T-Mobile LTE and MMS on my unlocked Sprint GS6 Edge (G925P). The only issue I ran into was not being able to send MMS messages while connected to WiFi from the default messaging app; which was resolved by changing my default messaging app to Textra. See Network settings below.
*** After saving the APN settings, if you are still showing that your are getting 3G speed, toggle the Network mode from automatic to GSM, then toggle it back to "Automatic", then phone will reboot and you should have LTE.***

how to get lte on unlocked g920p
its actually pretty simple all you have to do is download the latest tmobile firmware for g920t and flash it onto your sprint s6 (g920p) using odin.

Has anyone unlocked their captivate? how did you do so, buy an unlock code? and has any one attempted to use it with tmobile tzones hack. since it is quad band, technically it should work with tmobile 3g and since tmobile doesnt have the imei's the tzones hack should theoretically work. i am just looking for conformation before i give up my nexus for this device.
any one have any insights?
No unlock yet. Check around the forums. It's being discussed here:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729284
Sorry to bust your bubble, but the AT&T Samsung Captivate handles these 3G bands [3G UMTS/HSDPA (850/900/1900/2100 MHz)].
Notice that there is no 1700 (AWS) band, which is Tmobile's 3G band. So at most even if you successfully get it unlocked you'll be limited to 2.5G EDGE only on Tmobile, no 3G.

true, I have unlocked Captivate with my T-Mobile SIM from work and it shows only Edge anywhere, even next to cell tower at work where I was getting full bars 3G on MyTouch.
Is there any way around it?
So does this phone work with Tzone or Web2Go including GPS and push email? Thanks
I have my Captivate unlocked and its working on T-Mobile, except for data
Anyone know what the APN settings might be that work? The T-Mobile SIM I have in the phone has a data plan attached to it. Ive tried all the APN's I could find on the web (at least 4 variations) and none seem to give me EDGE. I know the 3G wont work, but Im just curious about getting at least the EDGE to work.
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: It seems one of the APNs worked for me, I just had to restart the phone after entering it.
i have an un-captivate.. everything seems to work fine but yes.. only 2g's
incredible phone.. im on wifi most of the time.
what do you mean by your data doesnt work?

Thanks for the reply. I edited my post, it started working after I restarted the phone. Originally it was showing full service but no Edge icon, thus nothing data related was working (almost everything, haha). Voice calls in and out were fine, but nothing else. Once I restarted the phone it fired up and was on Edge just fine. I have since swapped back to my AT&T sim because Im evaluation their service in my area, but I wanted to know it would work on T-Mobile in case I cancel AT&T so I can keep the phone

The link I posted above your quote has a MMS/MMSC address in it.
This was all formatted for use on an iPhone so I'm not sure how the fields differ on the Captivate. But good luck to you all trying to get it working.
Thank you for your time but still a no go.

Is there a specific APN I need to use? I have a LTE microSIM as well, so nothing has changed aside from the ROM change.
I am unsure why I cannot connect to LTE, I know this phone was able to do it before on the stock rom...

Make sure you are using the correct apn for the carrier you are on, and also check to see if LTE is toggled off.

Can you tell me which "baseband" you have installed? It is in the Settings, About, Software Information, More screen. I'm having the exact same issue (no LTE) on Rogers and have that exact same APN. I'm wondering if I flash a certain radio if it will fix it. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It might just be your area in KW.
I have the latest 2.41 radio from O2 but that should not matter as I previously had 1.94 (Rogers) radio as well.

Thanks for the info. We definitely do have LTE coverage here in the KW area. I ran the RUU to test it out and I indeed got LTE coverage. So far I'm stuck on HSPA if I run any custom ROM, but it is really not all that bad. Thanks again. Some day I will figure out how to unlock LRE on my phone!

You need to get the rogers APN for lte and put it in on your settings. I'm on fido and sometimes it takes a few minutes for it to connect to LTE. Here's the settings you can try

Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
If the above doesn't work try this:
Go into system tuner or ROM manager, backup then edit this build.prop:
ro.telephony.default_network
Change the number to 10 or 11 (that's what worked for me)
Save it and reboot.
Let me know if this works. I'm trying to get some momentum going on this as it seems to be a common problem in my area
I'd be interested in seeing all of your APNs along with all of their settings. Would you be willing to post screen shots of each APN or writing them down in a reply? I'm having issues with my SMS/MMS sending. SMS sometimes sends, and MMS doesn't seem to send at all. This is whether I'm on WiFi or LTE. Thanks!

Exactly what yours are, except no APN 3.
I found out the issue. I had installed AdBlocker Plus (ABP). This app apparently queries all internet requests through their own servers. They were blocking MMS. I happened upon a post on Reddit that had the same issue and that's how they solved it.
I'm now using AdAway.

HOLY CRAP. THANK YOU FOR THIS. I was going nuts trying to figure this out.
On CyanogenMod I use the default. I had a S4 before I had my Nexus5 so I didn't touch my plan, just took my SIM out and threw it in the Nexus 5.
APN that works for me perfectly fine on LTE and HSPA+ and HSPA is same as "ATT Phone" listed above. Thats on a regular AT&T Family Plan.

I did the same thing, although I've been hearing that cell reception is better with the Nexus 5 than the S4, so I'm wondering if there's anything I need to do aside from just putting the different SIM card in my phone...it works well but I do get call drops I wasn't getting with the S4, it's acting up unlike the S4 - even though I hear it has far better reception.
Do I NEED to have them provision my phone?

No. You hear horror stories of when people call and try to provision the Nexus 5 with AT&T. The Nexus 5 isn't in this provisioning database, as it's a "unsupported" phone they don't tell (They won't touch anything with a unlockable bootloader). Because of this many times people get provisioned for a 3G phone as their generic phone provision doesn't support LTE or something along those lines.It all depends on who does the provisioning. Some people you talk to will set it up correctly, others will not. I've heard stories of people having to give them IMEI's of other supported LTE phones to regain LTE access after such issues.
If it works, don't touch it, and don't let AT&T know you have the Nexus 5 as long as you don't have to.
As for reception on AT&T. I really don't notice a difference between my S4 and the Nexus 5. A month before I got rid of my S4 I got a drop in service, as a LTE tower popped up in range, however I only get 1 bar of service from it, and both my S4 and Nexus 5 tries to connect to that, where as I have a full 4 or 5 bars service on a HSPA+ (3G) tower that is closer. I have to manually switch network mode to 3G only sometimes while home in order to guarantee I get calls.
To get adblockplus to work with AT&T MMS change the MMS port to 8080 from 80.

Some people you talk to will set it up correctly, others will not. I've heard stories of people having to give them IMEI's of other supported LTE phones to regain LTE access after such issues.
If it works, don't touch it, and don't let AT&T know you have the Nexus 5 as long as you don't have to.
As for reception on AT&T. I really don't notice a difference between my S4 and the Nexus 5. A month before I got rid of my S4 I got a drop in service, as a LTE tower popped up in range, however I only get 1 bar of service from it, and both my S4 and Nexus 5 tries to connect to that, where as I have a full 4 or 5 bars service on a HSPA+ (3G) tower that is closer. I have to manually switch network mode to 3G only sometimes while home in order to guarantee I get calls.

Hello my friend,
I'm grateful for your thorough reply. On my AT&T account online, it shows up as "no image" and I think on one page says Nexus 5. I never called anyone. I only popped in the SIM card.
Phenomenal insight regarding the low signal from the new LTE tower. Here is a question:
Is there an existing mod (or a best way to make a services mod) for a rooted Nexus 5 that will essentially switch down from LTE based on an algorithm determining signal db noise db etc. so that it kicks down when the signal is too low and does a query of the higher bands while kicked down at efficient intervals? I'm going to post this Q as it's own thread, actually. Been looking, can't find anything.
Again, much thanks for your thorough and very helpful response, WoodburyMan.
Cheers,
Justin

Haven't found anything like it yet. However it would be easy to set up. I forgot the app but there is some big app out there that can trigger events with certain conditions. Can't remember the name right now. Example: When see my home wifi connection, turn off bluetooth, and have it switch from LTE to 3G/2G mode. And when it detects say the WiFi at my work, switch from 3G/2G to LTE network type and such. That might be something worth looking into.
Well now. Seems I'm in that boat of trying to get Nexus 5 to work on AT&T.
Originally my Nexus 5 worked right out of the box with the "Phone" APN, which is a APN cable of being used on LTE networks.
This is because I originally had my phone Provisioned / Data Plan setup on a Galaxy S4 I bought from AT&T, and I simply swapped my SIM out to the Nexus.
Now, I just changed jobs, and one of the perks is job pays for my phone and data. (Woohoo!). They are also with AT&T, which makes things somewhat easier. However, now, when the account manager setup my phone, AT&T Business assumibly used the IMEI off my Nexus 5 to setup my phone and provision it on their system. Inadvertently it was set up with a Non-4G Provisioning, so that my phone would not be allowed on LTE networks. Likewise, the old "Phone" APN no longer works, and I have to use "ATT" "wap.cingular" APN to connect to get data on 3G.
I will be going to a AT&T store tonight to try and get this sorted out. Will post back with results. I believe all they need to do is reprovision my phone as LTE cable.
Went to local AT&T store. I was in and out in around 5 minutes.
Walking in, told them how I had working 4G LTE before, and I believe it was just provisioned correctly, and how I know it's a common problem with this phone as the Nexus 5 isn't in their system. They copied down my IMEI, shut my phone down, and reprovisioned my phone as a LTE capable device. Turned it back on, BAM LTE. ATT Phone APN did not work, the one I used before. However ATT LTE APN that uses pta in it's setting did work. Perfect! All set and done. Surprised as how easy it was.

On CyanogenMod I use the default. I had a S4 before I had my Nexus5 so I didn't touch my plan, just took my SIM out and threw it in the Nexus 5.
APN that works for me perfectly fine on LTE and HSPA+ and HSPA is same as "ATT Phone" listed above. Thats on a regular AT&T Family Plan.

I did the same thing, although I've been hearing that cell reception is better with the Nexus 5 than the S4, so I'm wondering if there's anything I need to do aside from just putting the different SIM card in my phone...it works well but I do get call drops I wasn't getting with the S4, it's acting up unlike the S4 - even though I hear it has far better reception.
Do I NEED to have them provision my phone?

Sorry to go off topic here, but I have an S4 right now and have been thinking about switching to a Nexus 5.
How do you guys like your Nexus compared to the S4? How does the battery life compare?
My two main fears is the camera quality and battery life will be worse on the Nexus.
Thank you so much for this! Followed your instructions and now I have my sprint phone unlocked and running on AT&T! No LTE but thats ok.:good:

I will never go back to Samsung. Their AOSP support is horrible, I can't stand TouchWiz, and the camera was horrible. I had a iPhone 4S, went to the Galaxy S4 and camera was horrible compared to my 4S. Went to the Nexus 5.. best phone camera I've had so far. Love the HDR+ feature in the camera. Battery life for me was the same. The removable battery on the S4 was nice, I'd just swap batteries out on the go. I got a ZeroLemon case for the Nexus5 though works good.

Read what I had to go through a post or two back. You can get LTE working it's just a matter of trying a different APN like the pta or phone APN's, or having them re-provision your phone properly. A good sales person or tech at a AT&T store can get you sorted out in a few minutes.
Following up these are the APN settings that work with LTE on a AT&T Business account. (ATT LTE, aka ATT PTA). Previousl "ATT Phone" APN worked for me on a personal AT&T account with LTE.

will this work also with straight talk or no since its using att?
You can use your existing SIM, but I ran *228 on mine a while ago and wanted back to 4gLTE
I obtained a new SIM from Straight Talk for free
You can get the SIM on Wal-Mart.com for $5 (BYOD Kit)
I had them re-provision my phone
I ported my number
I had problems with everything after a while
I reflashed to Lollipop - Fresh Everything
It went back to the Straight Talk network after flashing (fresh not-dirty)
I can now text as well (not sure this ever stopped)
I called Straight Talk and got an APN from them since none of the APN I had was working
Within a minute of placing in the APN it was working
APN Info
acct.tf.gw6.vzwentp
mcc = 311
mnc = 480
apn type = default,dun,supl
apn protocol = 4 & 6 (local and roaming)
LTE now rocking like a champ
Just wanted to share my experience.
wow, it's too bad i called straight talk 70 times and they couldn't tell me this
New setting is
TRACFONE.VZWENTP
I've tried this and numerous other APNs on my LG G2 (VS980) but I've had no luck. Anyone have any other suggestions to try out? I've called ST a few times and have even tried a new SIM card to no avail. Still stuck with 3G

If your on straight talk do you have the right sim card? If it's a verizon device you need a specific CDMA sim card
Sent from my Nexus 6
Yes. Both cards that I've tried are cdma. When I switch my radio to GSM I get no signal. LTE only, no signal. And CDMA I get 3G. ST says that I have all my provisions and that the signal should switch on its own, but 3 weeks later, still no 4G

With straight talk all you need is the app to set the APN settings on most phones. As long as it's set it should work. I've had 3 phones now that work like a charm on straight talk

I've also tried the app and I think its only for GSM phones. I've also tried flashing different ROMs but that didn't work either. I'm running out of options for getting this phone to work. I'm almost starting to believe that they are doing this on purpose so that I spend money on a new phone. Lol.

Just wanted to say this worked for my dad's LG Treasure (ugh.) Spent about an hour scouring the net and this is the thing that fixed it.
Thanks!
Edit- Also the ST Data app errored out when I pressed "Go." Useless.
I dont understand how the dumb ZTE phone i bought for $40 from walmart with a straight talk plan works AMAZING, gets 25mbps speeds, gets awesome signal. But the S4 i just bought the BYOD sim card for just refuses to get a good signal, gets slow speeds 1mbps to 5mbps, constanly loses its data. I dont know what to do. Im about to just go back to the phone that can only handle one app open at a time since its actaully worked. It would be nice to use navigation and listen to pandora though lol
data offline and no mms
My rooted Verizon GS5 with TF sim card is randomly losing data service (group mms is now working with textra). ST customer service provided an APN but the issue with data offline is recurring. I used BuildProp and APNchangeR apps to update APN settings (leave all other fields blank) steps:
1. Installed BuildProp, Edit code at bottom to add:
#Code:
ril.sales_code=LOL
ro.csc.sales_code=LOL
2. Save changes and Restart Phone
3. Open APNchangeR (Note: APN will disappear after saving but is there)
Name: TRACFONE.VZWENTP
APN: tfdata
4. Open BuildProp, edit to remove code, save, and restart.
From this post, it appears the settings provided by ST might be wrong and should be:
Name: TRACFONE.VZWENTP
APN: Info
MMSC: acct.tf.gw6.vzwentp
MCC: 311
MNC: 480

Missing a few things for the apns. I know with newer phones you don't even need to add the apn manually where as the sim card is automatically recognized. I can screenshot what is missing but I know if varies by device. My Nexus 5 was recognized by default as well as the N6 but the S3 needed to be input manually. My co worker has an S5 and it also needed to be input manually

Those are the APNs I've used on ST S3 for 2 years, no issues at all. What is missing? They are also the APNs I got from Tracfone/Straight Talk.
The N5 I got my wife and put on ST didn't need APNs set either, it did that by default from SIM.

APN for Faster Data on Metro PCS
I sometimes used dual stacking on my previous Galaxy Alpha because it was a factory unlocked Samsung but did not have the software programming to function as a VOLTE Device on Metro or TMO .
I also used the MVNO Setting of 6d38 which I assume came from the SIM Card .
I just got a Tmobile new paid for phone not locked to a contract to use on Metro PCS which functions as a Metro Phone - always on 4GLTE always simultaneous voice and data - the Alpha did that on H+ and sometimes H but never on 3G and it would drop to 3 G sometimes to take calls.
Unlocked Phones can be band jumpers just change bands while laying on a table for no reason lol.
Anyway I have 2 to 4 bars of LTE everywhere on S9
BUT would like faster data .
I never heard of 'fota ' before as that string of settings you posted.
How much did your data speed up ?
I have great SOT on this phone - it puts every App to sleep lol.
And the Audio is like I have been wishing for ever since cell phones came out - but faster would be cool - on Alpha I had 3 APN Settings stored and switched between them sometimes...
