are you on att stock rom?
all att phones got this menu disabled.
You won't have this option available unless you carrier unlock your phone. They're available on ebay for like $3. I had mine unlocked pretty much immediately after it arrived.
ATT Atrix 4G on T-Mobile UK was also showing WCDMA. Just another label for UMTS.

Is unlocking the phone as simple as entering a code? And is it reversible (if ever necessary)?
NCK unlocking is completely legal, permanent, doesn't void your warranty, and you're not hacking your device in any way. You don't need to worry about reversing it. It is as simple as entering a code
But it's also unnecessary unless you plan on switching carriers or traveling overseas and popping in a new SIM.

Unlocking a phone is NOT reversible. Its ONLY for putting another sim card from another carrier in ur phone to use it on another network. And using a AT&T sim card Its still just greyed out. I have to use my Orange UK sim to be able to do a network search.. And that UK sim lets me use 3G data on AT&T`s network
Like above u can see I was running on the T-Mobile Network as well
Thanks for the info guys. I guess I won't worry about unlocking it unless I plan to sell it.
To the op. You happen to get 4g on T-Mobile? Also does your tmobile simcard crash on the nitro? Happens a bit to me

I just hopped on the Note 2 wagon from a GS2. It's been only 2 days, but love it so far. Only problem, I can't seem to be able to acces LTE even though i'm in an urban area where LTE is available. Coverage is good here with Bell Canada. I know with my GS2 i was able to go in the Band Selection Service Menu, to choose the band i wanted to use. Is there such menu with the I317M? Or is there another way to select LTE?
Thanks!
No toggle to turn it on or off as far as I know. Does LTE work in other locations?
Moved around the city with no luck only H+.
Are you using an LTE micro SIM with the Note2?
I worked as a cellphone dealer, you must be on an LTE data plan with a LTE sim card to receive LTE. Call bell to verify you have an lte capable sim card and are on an lte plan.

I suspect than my current micro sim is not but before going back to the store i wanted to try everything.
As long as you're on a postpaid plan with at least 500 MB of data /month, you are eligible for LTE with an LTE capable phone and micro SIM. Bell's LTE micro SIM card is labeled "LTE".

If you flashed a port, you might have LTE and just not see the icon.

Thank, I just got off the phone with Technical Services and they came to the comclusion that my sim is not LTE compatible. Thanks for the picture, it confirms also that it is not. My micro sim does not mention LTE on it. So I'll go to the store where I bought it at lunch and ask them to replace it.
Thanks!

Yes, i'm stock. The only thing I did was to root it with ChainFire's Exynos Exploit app.
Another thing to check is to make your APN is set up correctly for Lte. Hope you get the problem fixed!

I went to Bell Store at lunch. Exchanged my microSIM for another one with the mention of LTE on it. Now, my phone can receive and transmit in LTE with no problem.
Thanks everyone.
After reading through this thread I too swapped out an old SIM for a new one. But my problem was calls dropping or going straight to voicemail and lte not working in areas but my husbands would work. Got the new SIM card yesterday haven't missed a call, connecting to lte is fast and steady and a bonus is my phone seems to be a little more snappier then b4 like when closing and opening apps or watching youtube videos. Thanks OP for making this tread or else I might not have figured out what was wrong with my phone.

No. It needs to be SIM unlocked, paid off & not blacklisted. I bought one off of Craigslist. Had the guy meet me at a metro store to verify that it was all good. Fortunately, all went well. It'll cost you $10 for the micro sim card + $15 for the "ESN" change on your account.
It doesn't need to be unlocked metropcs is a T-Mobile mvno they run on the same towers but if you want to unlock it nothing to lose just request for an unlock code but if you haven't bought it yet take other guys advice if buying on Craigslist or if buying on eBay ask for the imei and check the status through T-Mobile
I'm just stating what Metro PCS Corporate told me directly. ALL phones (Including ANY T-Mobile phones) MUST be unlocked. Without exception. Their words - not mine. Was I surprised? Oh yes! I too thought since T-Mobile & Metro PCS are essentially one & the same that one wouldn't need it to be unlocked. NOT so. Don't take my word for it - call their TOLL FREE 888-863-8768 number & ask 'em. They'll confirm what I've said here.

I personally used my old droid dna on Metro pcs. It wasn't sim unlocked, just put a Metro sim in. Granted since I hadn't changed anything else it only got 3g data. But since it is T-Mobile M8 on Metro pcs you should have no issues.
Luck favors you indeed. Go here: https://www.metropcs.com/content/metro/en/desktop/metro/offers/bring-your-own-phone
Their own website says it MUST be unlocked.

No it cannot be. There is no sim slot at all. You may be able to put it on straight talk or pageplus, but I have no idea if you could put it on any other cdma network. To my knowledge most other countries use gsm over cdma.
The only one I know that does allow sprint devices, is ting

I agree, but some people don't talk on the phone much... Just throwing it out there, especially because they are the only ones to have a completely free plan.

True. But ting scales depending on your usage. Although I wish it was unlimited everything.. Just can't afford a new $300 unlocked phone to go to another company. So stuck with ting

I canceled my unlocked pre order that i was going to use on my AT&T account when they told me end of May early June before it ships. I was wondering is the Verizon branded one fully functional out the box for att like a lot of their other phones are? If so just gonna go in and buy one for 648
I don't think it is. The T-Mobile one probably is, though.

It indeed is unlocked. I have access to a cricket sim. I put the sim in, the phone informed me that it wasn't a verizon sim. I cleared the message, entered the cricket apn and indeed it worked. I am able to place phone calls and surf the web. Signal is HSPA, so maybe the radios are different???
All Verizon LTE devices are sim unlocked I believe

I stand corrected. This is awesome news as I have to purchase mine through BestBuy, and currently all they have are Verizon and Sprint.
I was to they'd receive unlocked but who knows.

IT is sim unlocked, but you will be limited using it on GSM networks, some features will behave wonky, and it will be missing some bands. Buy an unlocked one.
As far as teh bootloader.........maybe soon

I really want the Verizon HTC 10, I have the LG G4 on VZW now which to this day still doesn't have bootloader unlocked and I hate that. I will wait to see if the VZW HTC 10 can have its bootloader unlocked so I can finally go back to having a customer recovery and ROMs.
For Verizon HTC 10 can unlock GSM....
Ho about LTE unlocked?
Its support LTE Band such LTE band 3 and 8?
Thanks

Unfortunately not possible, and I really tried. Wind Mobile uses WCDMA Band 4 (B4) which is not enabled by default. Additionally, even if you enable B4 in NVRAM using debug mode, it still does not become available indicating that the modem firmware itself excluded that functionality. Very disappointing.

What is a provider around the same price with same features that would be good to switch to then?
Get a plan with Mobilicity. They are own by Rogers now and using the 850/1900 band. Public Mobile (Telus) has a decent plan, 12GB data, unlimited voice within province, unlimited text...$40/month renewed every 3 months. Or go the 711 SpeakOut (for voice) and TBaytel (for 3G data) route. Requires more research but works.

Order a sim from their website. When it arrives, activate or port over your number on the website. Takes 5-10mins.

Yes, during the plan selection, there is an option to get a new # or port over your old one. Enter your old number and the pin associated with accessing the account and the system does the rest.
The pin? Like the pin to log into my wind account?
