Verizon HTC One M8 - Global Bands Active/configured

Just wanted to give some info I found using QPST(qualcomm software) to see what cell bands are configured for our HTC One M8. I even looked at the Rezound bands as well. As most of you know, verizon didn't carrier lock our phones, so if we switch to global or even GSM network, we can use other carriers GSM SIM cards. Just need to properly configure the APN's of course. Below are the bands that the phone will search for when Global Network is selected. I pulled this configuration from my actual device. The Rezound only was missing Bit 19 & 49 selection, but everything else was selected:
[Bit_00] Band Class 0, A-System
[Bit_01] Band Class 0, B-System
[Bit_02] Band Class 1, all blocks
[Bit_07] GSM DCS 1800 band
[Bit_08] GSM Extended GSM (E-GSM) band
[Bit_09] GSM Primary GSM (P-GSM) band
[Bit_19] GSM 850 band
[Bit_21] GSM PCS 1900 band
[Bit_22] WCDMA Band I - EUROPE JAPAN & CHINA IMT 2100 band
[Bit_23] WCDMA Band II - US PCS 1900 band
[Bit_26] WCDMA Band V - US 850 band
[Bit_49] WCDMA Band VIII - EUROPE & JAPAN 900 band

I'm guessing the reason some of us are having issues on Tmobile is that the AWS bands are missing? Can we enable them somehow?

It could possibly be activated using QPST, but there are other steps to do it. The only issue is that since QPST is the QualComm radio programing, there is potential to lose signal quality or lose all radio functionality. That said, it could also be possible to recover by flashing the original firmware or RUU to recover. I now T-mobile uses 1900 GSM PCS band and AWS 1700 mHZ. There is another program I use to actually enable more bands. The program basically converts the selection of bands to a hexidecimal number to use in QPST software to program the added bands. Again, not sure if the Qualcom chip can use it. There is a WCDMA band selection for Bit (25) IV- US 1700 than could be programed to enable. I used a thread from the Sony Xperia forum to help me use the two programs.

I activated all other bands yet i still didn't get LTE, so i assume the restriction is somewhere within the chip perhaps.

band 3

Nop, if someone can tell me which Rom has the change bands function then can try that as well. But even after opening the bands I'm only able to get H 14.4mbps.

Are you currently in Europe too? I'm dying to get Vodafone lte on this handset. 3g works fine but I haven't tried the qpst route yet.

I have an old phone info app that's the 4636 menu thing. Hadn't tried this before but just tried assigning the bands there. Somehow that just hosed me and now I only get the 1900 band it seems, so phone is radio-less for me now

There's a solution for this problem, if you are s-off-ed. I also did the same thing - i selected USA bands and my phone radio died. Just make a nandroid, flash ARHD , go to the same 4636 menu and it will give you another option in band selection - Auto!! Choose auto, then reboot and make sure you have connection with the network. Then restore from nandroid and you're good to go! I will try to find the link to the original thread!

Thanks that was helpful! Somehow I also had recently loaded a Xposed app to show CPU speed on the top bar. I uninstalled that then after two reboots things came back. So odd, but I'm not complaining at this point.

after a google search it seems people have gotten into problems with chaning bands on verizon devices, the above solutions brings the radio back to life. But it certainly doesn't unlock LTE on europe bands.
So i guess its a lost cause, as it must be a hardware limitation

Yeah disappointing that we can't add those

AT&T Flex2 on Tmobile (LTE, H+)

Can't seem to find the actual bands on the AT&T version anywhere, does it get T-Mobile LTE and H+?

Yes to both. The H950's LTE bands are:
"LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 17(700)"
I have been using the H950 on T-Mobile since the AT&T launch day and have had terrific results. The data speeds on LTE are incredible and the signal strength is very good in my region.

You'll need to input the T-Mobile "fast" apn otherwise LTE won't connect. With root you can change many modem settings like carrier aggregation, fast dormancy, and enable hidden LTE bands such as 12.

How do you enable hidden bands? Also is there a way to activate band 1700 on the phone? If so how? LTE works great for me but when it changes to H and 3g it is pretty slow. Also the icon switches between 3g and H every second or so.
Thanks

Just be aware that getting T-Mobile working is the least of your worries if you buy the H950. Its getting to the AT&T 5.1.1 11z update that's the headache. Do a search and there is a who thread devoted to this.
Once sorted, I cant think of a better bang for buck than the H950. :highfive:

Unfortunately I no longer own this device, but I don't recall seeing it switch to H/3G constantly on T-Mobile. In one of the hidden menus relating to WCDMA there are many frequencies listed, at the top an option should say "auto/automatic". After you root and get access to the hidden menu, find the one for LTE, then enable Band 2+4+12 and reboot.
One of the above posters put a link for how to enter it.

Photon Q works on T-Mobile LTE

Hi All,
I was recently on holidays in the USA which using my Photon Q sim modded by Cornholio I was able to get LTE on T-Mobile. This was only in areas where they have re-farmed 1900 mhz (band 2) to LTE. I'm not sure if this makes a difference but I also changed nv 6828 for 1900mz bands 2 & 25. So in theory LTE should work on AT&T where they use 1900 mhz band 2 LTE. AT&T was was coming up a lot when I was doing a network search. It is listed as AT&T 4g.
Regards,
Sebastian

I've never played with any of this, but I'm an AT&T user in US... what exactly are you saying to try setting in the phone in order to try to get LTE on AT&T.... and if there's any way to know if AT&T is using that band in a particular area?

Hi,
This is what I did with my phone to get LTE was the following: Using the phone dialer
*#*#4636#*#* and in phone information menu change data to LTE/GSM/WCDMA
##3282# and in the LTE menu make sure that you have LTE as enabled, if not edit the value to enabled. You need to use the msl code for your phone to do this. I have an app to do this if you need.
To see if AT&T 1900 LTE is available in your area, go into settings, mobile network settings, network operators and choose the option search networks. A list of available networks will come up. If you have AT&T 1900 LTE band 2 available, this will be listed as AT&T 4G. Tap on this and you should be able to get LTE. The Photon Q lists LTE as 4G in the status bar on the top of the phone.
Hope that this is some help

Best LG G Pro 2 (model) for T-Mobile LTE

I brought back a Pro 2 F350L from Korea because it was listed in swappa as the Att device unlocked. I took it to T-Mobile put in a sim card which automatically chose the appropriate apns. I only get 3g no lte. I have scoured the web and these forums but cant find the info that tells me wether i got the wrong device for Tmo bands. I need help either configuring the correct bands or correct radio to flash or if this device won't or can't get lte on Tmo network. I am more than happy to reward the parties or person who helps me figure out this problem. If i have the wrong phone then so be it i will get the other model (that gets tmo lte) and unload this F350L. Thanks for any and all help.

In network mode, do you have GSM/WCDMA/LTA auto to select, or just GSM/WCDMA auto?

Looks like you have the wrong phone ... https://support.t-mobile.com/message/435224#435224
Bottom line, for optimal utility a T-Mobile phone needs to be:
1. Quad-band GSM
2. HSPA+ on at least band 2, band 4 & band 1 (2100) for roaming.
3. LTE on bands 1, 2, 4 & 12.

"AT&T 4G HSPA and HSPA+ use 850Mhz(Band 5) and 1900Mhz(Band 2) bands but it all depends on area if they own a license. LTE uses Band 17(700Mhz), Band 5(850Mhz), Band 2(1900Mhz), Band 4(1700/2100Mhz) currently."

[URGENT HELP] 2G/No signal on my Nexus 5

Hey guys,
So my Nexus 5 stopped working the other day, and I sent it for repairs. It's come back now and I got a new SIM. Airtel 4G here in New Delhi, India. The problem is, it will only show me a 2G connection/no signal at times. I don't know what to do. The SIM works in other phones perfectly well. I've tried going to *#*#4636#*#* and changing to WCDMA only. Doesn't work. What is the alternative solution guys?
The phone was bough in the USA but before it got repaired, 3G worked flawlessly. So at least that should work, if not 4G.
Thanks,
Crazysah

No one has had this problem? Or no one knows a solution?

Hi, Airtel as I see operate in 2G (GSM, EDGE), 3G (HSPA+) and 4G (TD-LTE band 40). But Nexus 5 (USA model) D820 doesn't support TD-LTE (band 40), so for sure you can't connect to 4G. But 2G and 3G should be ok. You can reset network settings and check again.

Yes. 3G should work at least. But it isn't and that's the problem. Before repairing it, it used to work with my mom's Vodafone 3G connection. What's the solution here?

Can you try to restart and after that change to "GSM auto (PRL)" from *#*#4636#*#* menu? Are you tested other device with this SIM in the same location ?
