Anybody know which network simcards work in this phone that is unlocked from network? Will it work right?

Tmobile gets 1g with stock bb and custom rom. I have searched a lot and once ran across some info regarding straight talk and possibly boost mobile working just fine with the 1900 MHz frequency but I can't find it again.
Sometimes the search function is a bit temperamental

After 3 days (holiday weekend) woke up with edge service. Maybe they turn on that 3g tomorrow! Lol

Status bar says I have 4G LTE but 5mbs? I've seen other people well beyond 30mbs.. 5mbs seems more like HSPA+..

Probably just the area. My HSpa+ speeds are so erratic lately.. sometimes I only get like 50kb per sec its horrible.. att needs to step it up and upgrade the network.

Some ROMs take away 4g.. I don't know about the ROM you're currently on, but mine has said I have 4G when I was really limited to 3G. I know this isn't much help, but I've had similar encounters and it was the ROM I was running.

It says LTE:14.
Just wondering for those with good speeds, which baseband are you running? I'm on I747UCLH9. And I hadn't had high download speeds since I flashed it.

I am having the same issue. Is anyone living in the dfw area on tmobile network having data issues? I go outside I get 15 mbps I sit in my house I get 300kpbs. Ive called tmobile and they are looking into it. But its been like this for almost a month now. You should call them and tell them whats going on. First call customer care and tell them the issue. They gave me credit on my account because why pay for something that dont work right then they'll connect you to tech support. Good luck. If we get more people to call in maybe they do something nationwide.

Is there any way to improve my 4g reception?? When I'm at work my phone is constantly switching back and forth between 3g/4g and I'm sitting in the exact same spot in the building. This is very annoying cuz sprints 3G is worthless. Is there any i can do about this? Maybe some tweaks that could help me resolve this issue?? Or something in the build I could change?

My phones did that at first when 4G was just getting started around here. And 4G signals and usually bad in buildings because of the bands that they use.

So are the bands something you can't change or modify?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Maybe try going to the hidden menu by dialing 3845#*970#, scroll down to the bottom of that menu and click "IOT Hidden Menu", from there select "system selection", network mode, then LTE only. Hopefully that forces you to stay on LTE and won't give it the option to switch back to 3G. Obviously you're going to have to go back into this menu and hit CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto if you want 3G access again.

Nope. That's up to the carrier.
sprints lte is currently on the pcs 1900 band, verizon and att is on 700. by the end of the year sprint plans to have lte on the smr 800 band also. so coverage will be about the same as verizon
Perhaps try different radios such as the zvb one.

So as the title states I need some help. I'm trying to get a phone and its an unlocked at&t s3 and I'm trying to figure out if it will work well on our T-Mobile carrier. Will I get 4g can I get SMS? Any help?
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app
Yes, I'm using one right now and I get "4g" and 4g LTE as well.. "4g" might not have as good coverage depending on your area because it will use the 1900 frequency T-Mobile has recently started to roll out instead of the 1700 that T-Mobile mainly has for 3g/hspa.. But LTE will work just fine, and it is fast! heck you will even get WiFi calling as long as you flash a T-Mobile based ROM

Can't you just flash a T-Mobile baseband? And also if it'd and at&t phone how can you flash a T-Mobile s3 ROM?
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app
No do NOT flash a T-Mobile baseband.. Only stick with at&t basebands or bootloaders.. The only thing you can safely flash is Roms and kernels.. You can flash roms through recovery and most should work just fine.. And BTW there actually is a mod on the at&t thread to enable the 1700 aws, but the mod wipes after a reboot and you must do it every time you reboot.. It doesn't sound that bad, so you might want to try it out if you end up getting it and have bad or no 3g/h with 1900 in your area

Yes as he said you can flash roms and kernels nothing else.
And dont be confused and think a rom is equivalent to firmware. Its not.

Well I know that I was just a little confused as to the way he worded it. So I've tried reading over their some but so far all I've come up with are old threads where people were trying to get 3g to work. Supposedly its permanent any idea how I can tell what frequency my location runs on
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app
I'm pretty sure there is. I think it may be a dialer code that you can use to go in and test to find out. Cant remember for sure, but thought I'd mention it in case it helps someone else answer or helps your search.
If you aren't able to find anything ill try to remember to look later tonight.

But doesn't the article say that they're moving 3g to 1900 and then 1700 will be for HSDPA+ and 2100 will be for lte

My bad, you were right. I had things a bit mixed up I guess!

Though, they will only be able to offer hspa+42 on the aws spectrum I believe. And it'll only account for a small portion in the end.

So I know all Verizon lte phones a're unlocked now. So how can I get 4g and mms on mines. When I was using my Verizon iPhone 5 and my Verizon note 2 on metropcs they were working great. But now with my one it doesn't wanna work all I get is edge no mms. Everything else works great like sms calls voice mail etc. Would flashing something help? Please help.

Well, the Verizon one may be unlocked, so you can put almost any SIM in it and have it work, but the hardware does not support all bands of LTE and/or frequencies.

Could always trade someone a Verizon HTC one for a t mo HTC one. Just because it's the same phone doesn't mean it has the same internals.
