Are any of you using the unlocked HTC one x on AT&T in the USA? If so, what kind of speeds are you getting? Did you have to manually set everything up, or did you just pop in your sim card?
I hate it when companies do this.
The HTC One X on AT&T: http://www.htc.com/us/products/htconex-att is the HTC One XL everywhere else. Please go to the XL forum for more details.

What in the world does that even have to do with my question? I know the difference between the two.
I'm asking how the unlocked international version (quad core) performs on AT&T in the USA.

I haven't done a speed test, but I will and post back the results. As far as setup goes, just pop in your SIM, choose ATT as the provider in setup and you're all set.

It performs fine; same as my i9100. I'm on the data for non-smartphones plan and it picked up the APN settings from the SIM. I had a micro-SIM that was never activated so had my Premier rep activate it and it works fine. I'm in a non-HSPA+ area and get about 2-3MB down. I'd expect to get 7-8MB down in HSPA+ markets as that's what I was seeing in less congested metro areas with the SGS2. MMS works with the stock APN settings which is more than I can say for the SGS2.
I thought 3g WAS hspa+ for at&t wherever they had 3g coverage? And if not, it would go to edge speeds which are very slow.
Basically, shouldn't you be getting 5-10mbps or less than 1mbps (edge) and no where in between?

Huh? Other than true LTE, everything is 3G. EDGE and GRPS (which are 2G) are what get you 1MB down (if you're lucky). HSPA+ is evolved 3G with theoretical tops speeds of 42MBs down. The One X and SGS2 are capable of a max 21MBs down. AT&T and T-Mobile in their infinite wisdom started marketing HSPA+ (evolved 3G) as 4G which now has everyone in the U.S. confused. Not all AT&T markets have had their backhaul upgraded to HSPA+. I'm in one of them.

I just ran some tests and I'm consistently getting 3-4Mbps up. The download part of the test isn't working now for some reason, but overall speed has been just fine.

OK, since receiving my international One X a month ago, I've had the sneaking suspicion it isn't getting all the HSPA+ speed it otherwise could be. Today, I confirmed this.
Side by side with an LG 4X HD (P880), I compared data speeds between the two using the same APN settings (the "phone" APN), same network (AT&T), in the exact same location. I used the SpeedTest.net app around a half dozen times on each, and here are my results:
One X (int): 3.5-4.6Mbps down / 1-1.2Mbps up
4X HD: 7-10Mbps down / 1-1.3Mbps up
When I had the AT&T version of the One X (the S4 with LTE), HSPA+ speeds were in the same range as the 4X HD. Now that I have the international (Tegra 3) version, they seem capped at around 4.6Mbps (eg, like it's stuck on old HSPA 7.2). Thoughts? Suggestions? I'm really at a loss as to what's going on here.
I know the international One X is supposed to have HSPA+ 21Mbps, but it's clearly not getting it on AT&T.
If you want LTE speeds then you have to go for the One XL(snapdragon4) as the X (tegra3) does not support it
I dont think the international one x is HSPA+ compatible but only HSDPA complaint .So you wont get the full speeds on AT&T networks!
You can buy the HTC One XL from here:

What is the difference, exactly? The phone's specifications pretty clearly state it has a 21Mbps HSDPA modem. Why am I unable to access the full extent of the HSPA+ network, then?
Also, yes, to the other posters, I understand the One XL has LTE, this information does not in any way help me.

He is talking about HSPA+ and not LTE.
I was wondering about this as well. I hadn't thoroughly tested it to be sure, but it always seems like I cap out around the upper 3s on my One X. I need to check it side by side with my Infuse in a place where I know there is good signal and my Infuse gets full HSPA+ speeds. The One X should be fully capable of getting full HSPA+ speeds from AT&T. I do seem to remember people posting speed tests of the international HOX on AT&T and getting 7 and 8 Mbps, so I always just assumed I didn't have good enough signal. What's the consensus from everyone else using an international HOX on AT&T?

I vary often get around 6mbps on my ATT One X. The HSPA+ network is vary inconstant for me. I have gotten over 9mbps but Like I said, 6mbps is more common and 3 is not unheard of
Hey Ive tried searching around but couldn't find the answer to my question so here I am.
I'm interested in buying the unlocked (quad core) international HTC ONE X. I'm also planning on using it with tmobiles monthly 4g prepaid plan.
my main question is will the phone operate at HSPA+ speeds? or will it run on edge.
Thanks!!

EDGE. It'll work in re-farmed markets but so will any HSPA+ phone. Check out the XL forum, a bunch of folks are trying to get it to work on Wind which means it'll work on T-Mobile's AWS bands too.

2g/Edge data for the time being.
T Mo USA will be deploying 3g & 3g+ data by years end throughout major markets and everywhere else afterward.
This topic/question has been beaten to death. Check out the Q&A section for more info. At this point, we just have to wait for the changeover to start hitting our areas. As of right now though, only a hand full of cities have experienced this changeover.
Btw, if you don't already have one, start calling your local stores for a non GBA micro SIM. The newer micro SIMs don't play nice with our One X's. Only the non GBA SIMs allow for voice and data.
Good luck!
after doing some more research ive decided to stick with the t mobile s3 and hspa+ Gnex as my two options for t mobile monthly 4G plan.
Thanks anyway
I'm debating between the T-Mobile and AT&T versions of the SG3. I'm currently planning on using a prepaid T-Mobile service but I can see myself in the future possibly switching to a postpaid AT&T plan.
If I buy the AT&T version I will be stuck on EDGE when on the T-Mobile network. No one has gotten T-Mobile's HSPA+ or DC-HSPA+ to work on the AT&T version of the GS3.
If I buy the T-Mobile version I won't have the option of using AT&T 4G LTE if I choose to go AT&T in the future.
So: does the T-Mobile GS3 physically have the AT&T 4G LTE hardware, and could it be activated?

I looked into the exact same thing before taking the plunge. Apparently, even though they have the same hardware, there is a trade off no matter which one you choose, so short answer is no. (But who knows,there are smarter people out there who may prove me wrong...)
I can tell you why I went with the T Mobile version if it will help with your decision...
1. TMo ver will work with HSPA on both TMO and ATT (As you pointed out, the ATT will only get EDGE on TMo)
2. I previously owned 2 LTE phones and battery life was horrible. Giving LTE up was not that difficult for me since the trade off was batt life
3. HSPA speeds are enough for my uses (You will rarely ever get advertised speeds with either HSPA or LTE)

Got it. Thanks. Even if I go with AT&T I might not even want to use their 4G network since it hogs battery so much? I've currently got T-Mobile and the fastest I've ever been able to clock is a measly 5mbps. A far cry from even the "slow" 21mbps speed that HSPA+ advertises.

Also, ATT may or may not have LTE lit up in your area yet. You may be waiting for a while. I had an HTC Thunderbold and a Galaxy Nexus on VZW for a few years and it was only towards the last 3 months of my VZW service that I began to get LTE lol HSPA is much more widespread as of right now on ATT

I just came from the HTC One X, went to the AT&T and got a sim card from them for free. Popped it into my Galaxy Nexus and boy are the speeds slow. I don't even get 1 Mb/s. Is there a solution out there to get better speed?
Do you have a postpaid account with AT&T or Straight Talk? Straight Talk AT&T have been having issues for about 2 weeks or more. I finally had to leave them myself.
You should try Sprint... They have great data speeds.

You likely have an APN problem, or AT&T has provisioned the SIM improperly.

You have been spoiled by the LTE. I came from the one x as well and the lumia 900, both of which have LTE and it does make me a little sad that I had to give up LTE in order to use this phone. Worth it still. Honestly, when are you going to need those kind of speeds. Only if you are downloading a rom or some super large file. But i am floating at around 3Mb/s down and 1 Mb/s up. But i do get awful speeds inside my office building where as with LTE, it penetrates building better, i was able to get 20 Mb/s down constantly.

I'm always debating if i should go back to lte for these reasons
might go back to note again..tried the note 1 but returned it for a GS3 before my 30 days return..i dont normally get first gen devices but i miss the note..
i watched the sammy video and said that it will have 3G/4G LTE support so that means the unlocked version will have 3G/4G LTE or only 3G/4G hsap+ on unlocked..?
how much do unlocked note 2 will sell for?
thanks:good:
Well the one for the UK does not have LTE. The Euro one will have LTE but in the States the LTE will not work (different frequencies for LTE). So before you jump out and buy do your research. Buying a Note2 will be much more confusing this time around.

what data speed will i have if i get the unlocked version on the NOTE 2 running on ATT? hspa+? what are top peek speeds on data on that? if the unlocked NOTE 2 can run on ATT hspa+ network.. 3G is fine on ATT for web/email/msg ect.. but i want to get at least 4G+ speeds for watching videos/downloading bigger files...
