I can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. In order to get LTE am I required to have a LTE sim card? Or the proper APN should work?
Fido doesnt have micro sim lte cards. Only standard size which means I need to cut to fit. Furthermore, I get no where calling them. They can't answer one question I have.
Thanks !

You do need an lte sim card.
Fido have micro/nano LTE sim card. http://www.fido.ca/web/page/portal/Fido/SmartCard
You might also need an lte data plan, and the right APN settings.

I finally did get a regular size LTE card... they are RARE but im using a galaxy note and im pulling about 23-25MB/s but It keeps bouncing between that and 4G so I know its in the baby stages but yeah the LTE stuff is all equipment base. If the LTE settings that auto come up doesnt work just delete it and make your own it ltemobile.apn and it should work. I had to do it with mines.
You need both apn set up and the lte sim card. I think a micro lte sim released with iphone 5 launch so you can get that, otherwise, you can buy a regular sim and cut it to fit the micro sim slot.

I'm pretty sure the iPhone 5 uses a even smaller sim.
Thanks all for the help. Lte isn't here where I currently live but it is where I work. And I can't see changing my account would make a difference but maybe its worth a shot

From fido: Can I use my existing Data add-on for LTE?
Yes, all our existing voice and data plan as well as data add-ons are LTE ready and most of our older data add-on are also LTE ready! This means the only requirements to be able to access LTE are a Fido LTE SIM card, a LTE device and to be within the Fido LTE network.
LTE in Toronto is fully operational, and it works well. They only have standard sizes, like you said and require cut. I'm getting 30-50 mbps down, 10-20 mbps up.

Yeah iphone 5 uses nano sim. Smaller than micro.
I'm also pretty certain that the towers where Rogers has deployed LTE, Fido users will associate to. All Fido phones are connected to Rogers towers, seeing as Rogers owns Fido.

Yes They do now. it's been implemented in august. Just go to a fido retailer that has sim cards make sure it says lte, have them cut to fit (some of them have the sim cutter) as they only have standard size and nano. Pop it in Your unlocked sgs3. go in settings>more settings> mobile networks>access point names and select fido lte.
Don't forget to thank me if that was helpful to you.
No lte
Here's the thing: the fido Site says lte is 2100/2600, but the S3 uses 1700/700 for lte. If fido uses Rogers towers, would it not make sense that they use the networks as well?
When I go to Kanata I had lte on my iphone 5, and now when I bomb around there I'm not getting lte on my s3. I have an lte apn set up the way fido and everyone else has said to, but it's just not coming thru...
Can anyone give me any insight?
Just wanted to link to this post I made in the Fido forums for anyone having trouble getting LTE setup!

Hi guys,
My friend bought an incredible 2 and paid to have it sim unlocked. He put his at&t go phone sim in it and it doesn't recognize the sim in gsm mode nor does it even register in global mode. I did a search on Google and got yes and no answers on whether this is possible. I figure no one would know better than an xda guy, so any help is appreciated.
Phone is also rooted and s-off if that matters/helps on the newest rooted ota.
Thanks in advance!

Technically speaking yes it should work but the phone will only be able to use the edge network due to limitations on the inc2 being built mainly for cdma network. I would try a different carriers SIM card to test. It is possible the unlock didn't work. I have seen a few people on here using the phone with tmobile which is almost the same network.

Dkstunna's cm9 has working gsm 3g if I remember right
So it is just a matter of flashing a rom that will support it? I see that a few roms say they support GSM. I read somewhere that verizon blocked the radio in the phone from getting AT&T signal, is that true and if so would I need to flash a different radio for it to work? Data does not matter, he mainly uses it for talk and text (why he got an incred 2 for just talk and text is beyond me)

Its not blocked, the phone just doesn't pick up the right band or frequency to get gsm 3g on certain networks, all the different type of data and voice use their own frequency range and our phone can't pick up the right band to get it, our radio is not made for it.

I have rooted and have mine s-off. Prior to doing this Verizon gave me the unlock code for GSM as I travel overseas. I am running aeroevan's cm9 on it and recently tried the local GSM providers SIM here in Wyoming (Union Cellular) in the phone. I switched the network to GSM and it picked up nothing at all. I have used this overseas with a Movistar SIM and have had voice and SMS. Some how I wonder if there is something built in that blocks GMS when the phone can receive a CDMA signal from Verizon.

Yes but not always the case. It most be one of these. Google is your friend
The handset is a dual-band EV-DO Rev A (850/1900MHz), quad-band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900MHz), and dual-band HSDPA (900/2100MHz) device
Ok SO I could not find a proper thread for this since there are SO many threads. The issue I'm having is I got a Samsung galaxy S III that was unlocked, and after I put my ATT sim into it I could recieve texts and calls but I could not recieve data. So I rooted it and applied clockwork with all my mods and figured I could find some setting that would fix it... well I was wrong. I tried global, GSM and LTE settings none of which would give me data. If there is anything anyone can do to help I would be more than appreciative.

While I agree that you should always call at&t so they can register a device to your account, this will not help his current data issue
OP, is this an international s3, T-Mobile or at&t? What firmware/rom is installed? Again, verify your imei is intact
Ok so this is a verizon Galaxy S3. It is rooted running 4.1.2 JB, Kernal 3.0.31. After I got the phone I did go to an ATT store to register a micro sim because i didn't have one at the time. So the imei is registered to my sim card perfectly. I can get calls and texts without any issue but no data. How do I figure out what the apn settings are and if I have the right configuration?

You do realize you're trying to use a cdma phone (verizon) on a gsm network (at&t), right? Different radios. Different technology. Won't work
Well it was unlocked at the phone has a gsm option so if it wasn't compatable I don't see why they would have the option there to actually use a gsm network.

You need to read more.
this phone only supports GSM with EDGE data.* This essentially means that you'll get 2G data speeds (unless you have a WiFi connection) because it doesn't support UMTS/HSPA+ which is required for international and U.S. 3G data. the 4G LTE frequency supported by this phone is only used in the U.S.* For those who don't know UMTS/HSPA+ is the 3G technology used by GSM carriers internationally (and used by AT&T and T-Mobile in the U.S.) which is different from the CDMA/EV-DO 3G technology used by Verizon and Sprint.*
This phone IS unlocked, that part is correct. But only for gsm carriers
So its preventing me from recieving ANY form of data possible?? It is a Verizon phone and I have ATT so you mean it doesn't support GSM then right?

You're in an at&t s3 forum with a verizon s3 that has zero data. If you really want to pursue this issue, you should start looking around in the Verizon S3 forums

If I'm not mistaken, some Verizon devices will not work on US gsm networks even if unlocked, only foreign gsm networks.
Saw an article about this, although it might have been a different phone that was being discussed.

If you are going to stick with AT&T, that is the way to go if you want to have data. No worries. Stupidity is only if you didn't learn anything. You had ignorance of the situation and now your don't. Do some research on any phone before you buy next time (especially if branded from another carrier). This can save you a lot of headaches as you have just learned. Just remember some basics from this forum. Good luck.
I have a US sgs3: SGH-I747 that was bought/used on AT&T.
I want to be able to drop in a new SIM when I go to china and Hong Kong, and use the Voice/Data Networks over there. Is there a way to do this? Must I root the device?
You can prepay your minutes for the sim card and just drop it into your phone but data is still by carrier and you're using data roaming. I recommend not using data overseas because it's really expensive. You can contact your provider and have them not charge you for domestic data for however long you're gone. Maybe save a few bucks?

No need to root.
Network Unlock your device.
Once you're in Honk Kong drop that sim in
And you should be set. Make sure you have the right APN settings for the network you're going to use.

If you use a pre paid service over in Honk Kong you might.
ATT only charges you a ton if you keep using ATT services internationally, like going to Honk Kong.

If you are using a SIM card from whatever country you are in, AT&T cannot do anything. The idea is that you will remove your AT&T sim card while there and therefore will not use AT&T service. Yes there is prepaid voice and MAYBE data (never tried the data so I am not 100% certain on data). Depends on what you can find for SIMs.
Last time I was in Hong Kong I used a "One2Free" prepaid SIM card I bought at a 7-Eleven. Seemed to work pretty good.
Couldn't get signal twice over the 14 days I was there, wasn't sure what the problem was, but rebooting the phone fixed it.

So recently I came found pretty beaten up HTC ONE that is Verizon branded. I called and they said its a bad ESN that the previous owner didn't finish the payment. So I was wondering, (yes I looked through various threads and could not get to a final answer) if I use this phone with an AT&T sim, it will work right? Verizon HTC ONES are required to be GSM unlocked and ESN only matters to CDMA carriers and not GSM carriers. Thanks.
Are you asking the XDA community or are you telling us? I'm confused as to what you are getting across here. If you have an AT&T sim or know someone who does then pop the sim in and find out if it works... Did you call Verizon or AT&T and ask if they will activate it?

It is unlocked, so as long as it has the proper bands in it, it should work on AT&T. I'm not sure if it'll work with LTE or just 3G. No idea as I've never tried. I've also read that you have to update APN settings. AT&T may not "officially" let you use, like register it to your account because it wasn't an AT&T phone but if you can pop a SIM card in it you should be able to use it, as long as it works.

Wrong. You're thinking of T-Mobile
http://www.htc.com/us/smartphones/htc-one/#specs
The VZW variant HTC One includes the following GSM bands: UMTS/HSPA 1900/2100MHz and GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz. These frequencies align with AT&T's services. T-Mobile uses AWS bands (which include 1700mhz) for their HSPA.
I might be wrong.. but all Verizon Phones are Sim-Locked for any USA carrier, you could however use the phone just fine in any out of the country carriers. but like i said i might be wrong which i often am

Don't waste your time. My thoughts were the same when I bought my Verizon One. I planned on using it with a GSM carrier. I had read that its hardware had the necessary bands and they probably are there but I can guarantee that they are at least being blocked somehow by Verizon (data-wise) . I only got 2G and this is from actual hands-on experience with SIM cards from both at&t and T-Mobile. Voice worked great but data was horrible.

Is that a Verizon HTC One? If so please let me know how you did it step by step as I have been wanting to do this for a long time.

I've gotten 3G/4G HSPA+ off T-Mobile (1900) on my One. Or are you referring to something else?

Is it a Verizon One? Did you flash anything to turn off the speed cap?
I have a Verizon HTC one and I have a Straight talk ATT Micro sim card. ATT has great coverage in my area. You will only get Edge data. But text and calls will work. Reason is because you need both the 850Mhz and 1900Mhz band for ATT. I believe you will get HSPA on a Tmobile sim if Tmobile has the 1900 band rolled out in your area.
I have a droid DNA and with the ATT Sim card in the DNA I get HSPA speeds but only edge speeds on the One. The DNA has more bands available where as the HTC one from Verizon has the 800/1900 gsm bands. Since most of ATT uses 850Mhz, you can't just have one band and expect 3g/4g you need both.
Also just tried a tmobile straight talk SIM card in my Verizon one and still only get edge. To get better speeds you would have to get a different phone like the DNA, gs4, or an actual att or tmobile phone.
