How to know if the phone is in LTE mode?

Hey guys,
When browsing, and it says 4G on the Rogers One X...is that LTE? Mine always says 4G, but NEVER said LTE..any ideas how to find out if it's using LTE?
When I go to phone status, and network status, it shows HSPA or HSPA+...

i believe it says 4G then lte right under it
your probably on hspa+ ?

When on LTE, it will say LTE.
When on HSPA+, it will say 4G.
The Rogers LTE network is still extremely small, so you might not be in a serviced area. You can check their map here: http://www.rogerslte.com/lte-in-your-area

I am in an LTE covered area...and have the Rogers One X and LTE SIM card...and I have the small business plan, which they confirmed has LTE data...but am not getting LTE data speeds...
Do they actually have to enable LTE on my account?

I have checked everything; still no LTE..I think they have to enable LTE at the account level probably. Doesn't seem to be anything else.

hkalltheway iam having the same issue as you! They actually replaced my device and gave me a new htc one x, switched my sim card twice and have escalated my problem to senior tech support. APN is correct, lte is on auto. I even tried forcing it into lte by going into the phone menu by pressing *#*#4636#*#* and selecting LTE only.
My plan is lte as the last 2 phones i have had were lte (sgs 2 lte & raider). They both never had an issue receiving an lte signal. I'm close to downtown toronto so im in an area where the LTE signal is strong.
I'm wondering if you are having the same issue as me. At least it seems like it. Call rogers and have them open up a case. It has been a week and they still haven't fixed the issue.
did you have an lte phone prior to the one x?

It will say LTE in the Notification Bar ...

I agree with a few of the others. If you're using LTE, it will actually say LTE in the Notification Bar, right above the signal strength bars.
If it says 4G, then you're only on HSPA+.
If you're not getting the LTE to display, and you ARE in an LTE area, then I would definitely call Rogers and have this issue resolved.

I'm having a similar issue unfortunately, albeit mine is with Bell. I've unlocked the device and purchased an LTE sim card and in multiple LTE service areas with only 4G connectivity. Speed tests are in the 6-10mb speeds for HSPA.
Curious if this is an issue with the phone as others are having problems too.

are you using the proper Bell LTE apn?

I was having the same problem with my Rogers account and it turned out it was an issue with the account not my device. In my case they added the LTE to my account but it is incompatible with older data plans in my case I have the 6GB for $30.00. They have since told me that in order to get the service to work I need to update to an LTE data plan which I really don't want to do as it will cost double what I am paying now hahaha so I think I will live with the 6-10mbps I am getting now

10GB for $50 ...

Actually, Rogers routinely comes out with DATA plan deals. I have 10GB for $50, which also comes out every so often. The more common "6GB for $30" is offered frequently.
Yes, it's true that you need not just an LTE SIM card, but to have your account set up for access to their LTE network. I just didn't realize it costs more. It didn't cost me more.
Peter
Addendum: My plan, 10GB data, 200 minutes talk, and unlimited Texts in/out is about $83 per month.

The information I have is there isn't a specific LTE APN similar to Rogers. I'm using pda.bell.ca as my APN. I'm mainly curious if Bell requires a specific LTE data plan or other activation parameters to connect. The people I've spoken to states that this is not required.

If anyone is wondering, I'm on Telus' Flex 60 plan (older plan from before they had LTE) and I did not need to make any changes to my account.
LTE worked off the bat with the standard Telus APN. Although Bell/Telus LTE coverage around here is spotty, I'm just outside their LTE zone on the map.

n900W8 on AT&T LTE

Hi, I just bought an n900W8 from gsmnation. The device works great. I'm able to put a T-Mobile SIM in and connect to the LTE network and things work correctly. When I put my AT&T SIM in the device it works but will not connect to LTE, only to HSPA+. Can anyone help me get the phone on the AT&T LTE network? Thanks!

T-Mobile and AT&T LTE bands can be VERY different in certain regions, if that is the case I doubt that is easy/possible - look around in the T-Mobile and AT&T Note 3 forums (there are like 5 Note 3 forums in total on xda) and you will see pretty large bounties for converting certain versions from one to another. If the bands are the same you also need to check if the APNs are automatically set correctly when you change the SIM.

Verizon M8 on At&t/Cricket

I have rooted and s-off. Used the guide to enable additional bands. I used NV values 65626 and could get LTE in some areas but not in others. I'm starting to think it's radio related. Any suggestions?

what bands, specifically, did you enable?

Bands 2, 4, 5 and 17. I'm located in the Raleigh Durham area of NC. When it was connected to LTE I used the LTE discovery app and confirmed the uplink and downlink freqs. 1900/2100 if memory serves me correctly.

Currently using the VZW M8 on Cricket. I'm getting HSDPA but no LTE.
But I have no complaints. Phone is awesome and mobile data is working flawlessly.

Yes it's radio related. Verizon and ATT do not use all the same frequencies and bands.

Hi,
I tried to read any info about it. But I don't know....
Here is my theory: The Google Play edition (GPe) is open to any LTE channels. I know that you can turn the verizon M8 into GPe M8... (I don't know if the phone can operate on Verizon after all :S )
So hopefully that can work, but I NEVER TRIED IT!
So If some GURU can help us that would be grate. And also a "How to" -from the very beginning ( Stock rom, s-on, non rooted, etc) would be nice too.
Thank you
Ps.: I was only modifying Samsung, Sony, Motorola, Zte before. This HTC "magic" is totally new for me

I am in Virginia. Right now using a stock Verizon M8 and I do get AT&T LTE signal( download speed is around 10M, upload is 7M. Phone info said the network is LTE).
I guess my area using band 4 for AT&T LTE.
I am considering enable band 17. If you are available, maybe you should share some thoughts of your Band-unlockin process and your LTE signal situation.
Thank you.

I went to an ATT store inquiring about moving from VZW. They said my M8 would NOT work on their network. Who can i contact at ATT to get the straight scoop and move? I am in Wilmington NC.

Very competitive Verizon MVNOs are starting to emerge, have you compared coverage in your area? I'm on ROK Mobile and it's freaking awesome.

Most of the ATT guys are clueless, not matter they are in store or over the phone. Just ignore them.
All you need is get an att nano sim card, put it in your verizon m8. Boom! You could text and call now!
And then you need to edit APN settings to get data working. Go to settings, Mobile data, Network settings, GCM/UMTS Options, Access point names, and add a new APN:
Name ATT Phone
APN phone
Proxy Not set
Port Not set
Username Not set
Password Not set
Server Not set
MMSC http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS proxy proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port 80
MCC 310
MNC 410
Authentication Type None
APN type default,mms,supl,hipri
APN protocol IPv4
Bearer Unspecified
save this APN and select it to use. Wait 30 sec to 1 minutes, Boom, you would have H+ or 4G LTE depending your location. For most area you would get H+.
You don't even need to root !

im on edge slow slow slow

I get HSPA+ on my stock M8. My APN is "phone"

I have GoPhone account with AT&T and I get LTE in some areas, nothing done to my phone, stock Verizon m8, apn set to nxtgenphone , I get HSPA most of the time, but I do get LTE in some locations here

G900p on cricket network 4g issue

I recently unlocked my G900P to use on the cricket network, so far all is well except it is only running on 3G
i have the correct APNs installed. i've contacted cricket and bought two sim cards so far from them.
What am i missing ? how can i get 4G going on this phone, on the cricket network.
Thanks!

are your sims for at&t?

the sim cards are cricket sim cards

cricket doesnt have their own network man. I use H2O wireless but it still uses at&t towers.

Can I fully use the Sprint V50 on Verizon?

Hello,
I noticed no one is selling Verizon V50's on ebay but they are selling sprint ones. I know on cdma phones in the past since there was a slight difference in the cdma range that Sprint used vs. verizon that you could only use some of the bands if you switched carriers. Is this phone 100% compatible if I switch carriers? It has been a decade but I think it was something like 1950 vs. 1900 mhz or ghz and two bands per carrier and only one worked. It has been very long since I looked into this sort of thing.

I'm not sure if this is true but there is a youtube video where the reviewer says that 5g is carrier specific so you can't take a Sprint 5G phone and use 5G on verizon. Not sure about the other bands/frequencies.

Have a sprint version bought it because it said it would work on verizon. Put a working verizon sim in and have full bars but only get lte can not make or recieve calls or text. Wondering if you've had any luck with it. I cant remenber which site i was on but a lady claimed to have it working with VOLTE. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes we are all a bit confused about the 5g, but the rest will work because Sprint supports all bands.

You can try going to ##3282# by dialing it, going to apn settings, 3 buttons at the top, reset to default

Thanks I tried it and samething when I make a call it says I'm roaming any help would be appreciated

I updated mine to android 10 and it works like a charm. I cant say if 5g works as there are only a few areas in Denver that are live.

Works on Verizon?

Yes. Not sure if android 10 beta has something to do with it but I have been using it for a month now.

Is it a beta from LG or did you do it through another source?

It's from lg and Sprint but it's leaked by someone because LG did not release it. Final will be out very soon though

Here's the issue I'm having at any help would be appreciated. I can not get my Verizon sim to work it gets lte but that's it. I've tried suggestions in this thread with the exception of installing Android 10. I checked the UICC unlock and it says can not authenticate that's without a sim in it. With my Verizon sim in it it just spins. Bought it from that yy store off eBay and they claim it's unlocked. I've never had an issue like this before with an unlocked Sprint phone. Again any help would be appreciated.

You'll have to bootloader unlock and modify some files in the OP partition; join the telegram group please and make sure to NOT update (disable the auto updates and disable the update center package).

Have you guys tried going into the Data settings by dialing ##3282# and editing the APN and MMSC settings to the below? After I made those changes I can get group messages and LTE. The problem I'm running into is that I can't get VoLTE (HD Calling) enabled. I don't see the advanced calling option withing Network & Internet settings.

Hi all. Anyone knows if a european model will be usable on 4G in Scandinavia or is this just a plain 5G phone/model (LM-V500EM)?

You won't see a model that only has 5g capabilities for many years, so I think you're in the clear xD. You should check the band compatibility though

It's the LTE I'm a bit worried about.
In Norway LTE is on band 38 / 2600Mhz but this band is not mentioned on GSMarena specs for LG V50 (I do have it on LG V30 European model).
However, band 38 is mentioned here:
