Just switched from an hd2 a couple days ago so the android os is new to me. I do have a few issues in which tmobile is clueless and won't help with being that they don't sell the one x. It's the unlocked international version
1-Will not send or download pics in texts. Sending failed after multiple attempts on ul or general network failure on dl
2-one x does not recognize the newer tmobile micro sim. I've read that I need to find a tmobile store with the older version. Until then under mobile network settings it will say no sim card foud and all apn settings must be done manually
3- manually transfer 500 phone numbers
I'm hoping that solving #2 will also fix #1. After inputting apn I do have Internet. Anyone xperience this yet? Thanks guys

you will need to change the message centre for MMS messages for pictures in texts, like changing the APN.
backup your contacts from the hd2 onto your google account, then sync with the android phone
Any clue how to change the message settings?
Never had a google account with the hd2 but I'm opening one today.

best bet. find a tmobile store if you have one near you and take the phone and ask one of the members of staff there to help you out. best solution really.
or call the customer service line and go through your issues and surely they will help you out. as the poster above you probably need your sms and mms settings to be send so they are set up for you to send and receive.
regarding the sim card i am not sure. probably the new card needs activating. again speak to the carrrier for that.
Tmobile online support told me there's nothing he could do being that tmobile doesn't carry the one x. I called cs and she was cool. We went through and did the apn settings per tmobile but I still have the picture issue. Advance tech support said idk as well. They both said to try the sim issue and see what happens.
I'm sure someone else has had this issue right?

do you have your mobile data on when trying to send a picture message or receiving?
Message/service center number was already present in the phone and correct.
Data is turned on.
Just found the older micro sims locally. I'll report back in a couple hours
I'm extremely interested in seeing how things work out for you. I currently have a DX on Verizon but my contract is almost up and am planning on jumping ship for T-Mobile's $30/month unlimited data plan (and hopefully using a HOX)...
Is there anything I should know about doing this?

I bought a t mob sim in NYC a few weeks ago. They tried to get mobile networking and mms working for an hour or so then realized the phone was not compatible with their current network. Supposedly some areas have the proper band for it. Hope it works where you are at.

Hi,i am on T-Mobile USA with HTC One X.Until U get older sim card(with 50.01)serial # U want be able to set EPN.Ned older Sim>after that phone will read card without any problem,but U only will have E speed no 4G.Anyway phone works grate and I use Wi-Fi all the time
Any chance the One X can be flashed to work on tmobile like the Skyrocket?
one x
I was going to buy a one x but tmobile tech support told me that the network band frequency's are different and the most i will get is 2G. I am about to call htc and will update with anythng
Correct. Edge aka 2g data is all you will get for now.
You see, T Mo USA uses their 1900 MHz PCS band exclusively for 2g traffic. 3g data (HSPA) and "4g" (HSPA+) is used in the 1700/2100 AWS bands.
T Mobile is reframing their 3g and HSPA+ to the 1900 MHz band and will have true 4g (4th generation) LTE on those 1700/2100 AWS frequencies (previously used for 3g).
I have the international One X on T Mobile USA and am patiently waiting for the network to modernize their infrastructure. Supposedly, between now and the end of the year.

any way either of you could get me a 50.01? say its for a friend and mail it out to me and ill cover mailing, and then i can activate it myself? or tell me where you got it from?
atvxda i love your sig and also, it makes me feel so comforted and not alone as i felt before now knowing that you also are waiting for the bands change.
My newer micro sim did not allow me to save the Tmobile apn . Switched it to my wife's older sim that I cut down to a micro for her iphone. Entered the T-Mobile APN hit the save button and of course it worked. I was then surprised when I switched my sim back in and it still worked. Had a few 50.01 SIMS ready but did not have to cut any down and call T-Mobile to switch them.

wow, thanks for that tip! i dont know about you guys but honestly, the s3 is better. i had this mindset that touchwiz is crap and the s3s physical home button is ****ty, super lcd is better than amoled and all that. but i bought my dad an s3 and i fell in love with it. it has much better battery life for a few reasons: touchwiz is light, useful, clean, and good looking. amoled has more true blacks, and the 2100 mah battery. moreover, just plop one in your wallet (on ebay for $3) and there is no way possible you could lose battery. removable back is also replaceable with a more stylish and secure back from ebay ($7). i mention that because i really liked the one x for its beautiful polycarbonate backing when really the s3 can have something even more sleek like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/40033322089...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 or this http://www.ebay.com/itm/28093857636...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Hi Everyone,
I wanted to find out oif any LUMIA 900 users in BELL are able to see LTE.
I bought the LUMIA 900 from ROGERS Friday afternoon and Saturday I paid 16$ to unlock code.
I went to bell and change the SIM card to be LTE supported. (I had a iPhone 3GS)
I successfully unlocked the phone an put the new card in,BUT I RARELY see LTE.
I mostly (95%) see 3G and YES I looked at the BELL LTE Map in their website. Even though I am currently located (work) within the area I never see LTE.
I called BELL Canada and they havent been able to give me much information.
Setting on my phone are:
Active Network: Bell
Data Connection: ON
Data Roaming Option: Roam
Hieghest Connection Speed: 4G
Network Selection: Automatic
APN: pda.bell.ca
User Name : Left empty
PAssword: Left Empty

Any other Lumia Users with Bell Canada???
Your help is much appreciated.
You must call
Hi,
I had a similar problem with my Ipad 4G but i found the solution. You must call bell at *611 and get thru to tech support! Once you are thru tell them that you have an LTE capable phone and get them to add LTE Provisioning to your account. After they do that restart your phone and LTE should work. (It may take a while to connect to the LTE network)

Bell LTE is crap. Alot of areas marked on the coverage map for LTE dont work. Travel around the city and see if it works in other areas. For example, Keele and Steeles area in Toronto (not sure where you are) is LTE and I get my LTE signal there. If you still dont then try the above post.
Similar situation here with Telus sim. I get LTE but much more often phone sticks to 4G. In most cases i see only one bar signal. There however have been places where I get 2 or even 3 bars (woodbine and hwy7) only once I have seen 5 full bars of LTE - in the Weston Rd & HWY7 area.
I haven't called Telus about provisioning, all I did is to swap my SIM for a V3 LTE one.

Was yours Rogers too or AT&T?
Similiar situation here. Except I'm using the Titan 2 unlocked on Telus. They share the same networks at Bell from my understanding and same for LTE. I popped in my LTE enabled sim and so far I have yet to see LTE appear on my screen. I live 3 min Yonge/Dundas and work at Yonge/King and have never once seen LTE appear. You'd think being in the heart of the city you'd have LTE 95% of the time but so far nothing.
I tested download speeds and so far best I was able to get from Telus was about 5mb/sec. Not this 21mb/sec that LTE promises. Even on wi-fi at home with the top Rogers high speed plan I only got 9mb/sec.
Did you get the LTE provisioning?

Hey Pistol44,
The same thing I said above should apply to you! In most cases just getting an LTE sim card is not enough. You must also get you carrier Bell/Telus/Rogers to add LTE provisioning. I work for a company that sells Cell Phones on all the canadian carriers and I see issues like this all the time. A quick call to tech support should fix this!

I haven't called them for any provisioning. I get LTE on the Lumia but seldom and almost always 1 bar only. Interestingly the same sim placed in unlocked Sierra Wireless AC754, LTE holds consistently. Still 1 bar, but stays.

Thanks for the info and I did follow the suggestion. I spoke to Telus support and had a lady guessing all kinds of things for me. Clearly she wasn't familiar with Windows Phones in general. She had me try adding an invalid APN, then turning data on and off. She claimed there was nothing to provision on her end. Eventually I gave up with her and tried a hard reset. But still nothing. I edited my APN last night to isp.telus.com (only added the "i"). No change.
Then by some type of black magic LTE showed up today while I was at work and it stayed on my phone for about 2-3 hours even after I left the office. Well now I'm back at the office and it's on 4G again. Funny how I can be in the same spot where it's LTE one moment then 4G the next.
She probably did something!

I would not be surprised if she did something. It usually takes 16 to 25 hours for a provisioning profile to start working. Sometime they do call it something else.
I should also mention since then I've been getting LTE to show up about 75% of the time or more now. Sometimes it goes back to 4G and then I do a soft reset and it goes back to LTE in a few min. Not sure why but that fixes it.
First, let me say that I may have set this up wrong, so any advice is appreciated.
I purchase the ST GS2 (I777) att model (running 2.3.6 on UDLG1 build) which comes with a ST sim before I discovered the T989 for cheaper. Got the T989 and unlocked it using info here. Took the ST sim from the I777, put it in the T989 and configured APN using the same APN info from the I777 (wap.tracfone - different than APN for ST BYOD sim).
The swap and I777 APN settings worked for calls, text, mms and data at first I thought. But I noticed that data is slow and intermittent. The T989 shows the 3g icon but when I run speedtest I get either a network 7kps down/999kps up or network connection issues. If I take the sim out and put back in the I777, I get 5-6Mps down and 1.0-1.5Mps up and the H+ icon.
The T989 is on 4.0.4 running stock build IMM76D.UVLH1 and the radio is T989UVLE1 (for unlock). So I flashed different radios but not any real difference. I also tried the LI and LH radios and the one for the Galaxy Note posted in radio sticky without different results.
I also tried the ST BOYD apn settings att.mvno and I get calls but no data. No help from ST customer service as they only support buying the separate sim card. I don't have one or else I would have tried it. Just wanted to try phone out before getting sim card. I wouldn't want this same data issue if I bought the ST sim separately.
And ATT works better in my area for coverage than TM before anyone suggests getting the TM sim.
Any advice? Thanks in advance.
Just to make sure it was not just that one T989 phone I have. I tried it on another T989 today and same exact issue. I beleive the T989 has the radio for HSPA+ on ATT. Perhaps that band of not enabled in the rom. Could it be a sim card issue - not sure how that effects it?
OK. I think I answered by own questions by reading HoFo thread #1781748 (can't post link). There the OP posted that they deleted the proxy and then got faster speeds. Worked for me too. Now getting 5mbps down and 1 mbps up.
The phone icon says 3g, but I assume that is because it is a TM phone and the icons related to the band that TM uses for 4g, not Att.
I suppose I can live with the icon saying 3g but with H+ speeds. Not trying to start an argument over the fact that H+ is nto 4g or really just turbo 3g. Just glad I got my speeds up.
Had similar issue with my T989 .. Thanks a ton

I know the ZL (6506) is capable of working with T-Mobile's new LTE network, but my question concerns the IMEI number and your account with T-Mobile. On AT&T, your account has to have an IMEI number that is known and recognized by AT&T so as to enable LTE connectivity. Is this also the case with T-Mobile??

The info or where you got your info is incorrect. you DONT have to have a IMEI number that is known to AT&T to have LTE. I have changed phones prob 20 times since I got my first LTE phone and NEVER had to change it again.
You can be on the LTE data plan and everything work fine on a old dumb edge phone then put the sim card back in an LTE device and it still work fine...

Hey people, I'm seriously considering picking up a Sony Xperia ZL C6502 Black. I'm aware that it doesnt support LTE on either network, but the price is insanely lowwww! My question is, does anyone know what kind of speeds I can expect to see on TMO and ATT respectively? I'm currently using an ATT Gnote 2 on ST/ATT and I have a Nexus 4 as a backup which I use on the TMO $30/"unlimited" data plan. I only point this out to indicate that I don't get LTE speeds now, which sorta makes it a "You can't miss what you never had" type of deal. I roughly get about 14-17mbs down on either device. Is there any chance I'd enjoy the same with the 6502 on either of these plans??? Any help/insight or even opinions, would be greatly appreciated.
The speeds to expect will be the same as you have now.......

i just received my ZL C6502 today and noticed that the data connection does not work at all. i followed the APN settings on the t-mobile link you gave and still no dice (it does show full bars and H+ as you mentioned and when i switch the SIM to my old G2X its on full HSPA+ speed). i left the house and it was running ok suddenly and streamed netflix, etc. but when i went home it lost the connection again. I'm suspecting that this phone does not really work on t-mo's 1700 AWS even though the box says so and that i only got online outside the house because that area is on the 1900mhz refarm. is there any difference to t-mo's AWS 1700 and regular HSPA 1700mhz?! any insight or help is appreciated!!
I have a 6506 on TMo so I am limited in help. However, someone in my office has a 6502 on TMo and it is working fine. He had trouble until he manually set it. Same case as mine.
Perhaps you have a defective unit? Try removing and reinserting the SIM card. Perhaps a factory reset.
I had mine for almost a month and has been flawless in LTE when in DC and HSPA in Dallas.

The 6502 is the same as 6506 but without lte it should work I don't have 1900 coverage and I'm always on hspa and there's no lte were I'm at either. U need to make sure the apn is set exactly there should not be any values under proxy and port also under apn type have it blank that was the issue with mine those three things had values and was messing up internet. Also there's three different apn you have use. 1. Fast.tmobile.com (Lte), 2. Epc.tmobile.com, 3. Internet2.voicestream.com. Give it a try.

thanks for the help guys. ive gathered all that info earlier and did try the three APNs different combinations / proxy - no proxy, etc to no avail. i'm leaning on faulty hardware or messed up radio. i'll just sleep over it but so far its been disappointing :crying: great phone though...
As a quick update I did literally sleep over it and I'm happily up and running with hspa.. I literally left the phone alone overnight lol. Rooted the fone and all I need is to figure out how to get to recovery to put CWM since pressing vol up at boot is not working and flashboot isnt going either (that's for another post). Moody bastard this ZL is.. Anyway Thanks again!

That's the thing you had an LTE phone AT&T had in their system when your account was provisioned for LTE so you never had a problem after that. For those people that have the ZL as their first LTE phone on AT&T they will have to first get the account setup for LTE using a phone AT&T recognizes on their network.
So basically put the SIM in an AT&T LTE phone, have AT&T provision it for LTE then once that's done you can put it in any other LTE phone and it will work fine

I have the LG E980 Optimus G Pro POS phone. Had it unlocked, inserted a cricket sim card and though I can sometimes make calls when it decides to connect, I very rarely get 4G or LTE, mostly its a little "E" with one or two bars of signal. The phone will not send photos but surfs the web on wifi with no issues.
I have read through this forum and found some workarounds with StraightTalk users but can't find anything for Cricket users. I have tried creating an APN with Crickets data but the Authentication Type is restricted from any editing leading me to believe that this phone is locked to AT&T's network regardless of what unlock codes I entered successfully.
When I attempt to make outbound calls the phone usually takes 3-4 attempts as it drops the call and forces me to redial eventually after enough tries it connects but the quality of the call suks monkey nutz.
I don't really know if rooting will help. I did try a workaround straight talk users were having success with where the APN was edited with the SIM card removed but even that was fruitless as the AT&T APN kept showing up over and over again once I reinserted a SIM card.
This phone is slated for air to wall impact testing very soon if this waste of money can't be fixed and my thoughts that AT&T locked this junk down turn out to be true. So if anyone is knowledgeable with Cricket networks using this phone any guidance is appreciated and in advance I humbly bow to your expertise in these matters. THANK YOU.
I use the phone on Cricket network and have had nothing but superb service, I had service with AT&T. I ordered my sim off ebay for Cricket inserted it went through the setup and all is fine. only thing I can think of is your phone is not unlocked... Mine is carrier and boot loader unlocked and rooted, only problem I had was I couldn't send picture mess... spot where you add the APN type was blanked out, that was on stock 4.4.2 I just went with a modded version of 4.4.2 and all is fine... blows att out of the water full bars lte all the time, Hope you get it figured out.. sure glad I switched....
U really dont need a unlocked att phone to use on cricket
Locked att phones work fine too
Cricket runs on the att network and is owned by att
I switched my s4 from att to cricket without unlocking
The cricket salesman also said any att phone would work since its the same network
You must have a diferent issue
I use my att e980 on cricket at this moment
Bought it off ebay and very happy with it

Hey whats up! Surprised not more people talking about the release. Samsung is selling the Verizon LTE version. Can I buy this version now and use it with Criketwireless (they use att network) or other? Or we don't know yet? I am not sure how all that works. Thanks
all of my verizon branded devices from the last couple years will allow a non-verizon sim, but will have a big fat triangle exclaimation mark notification that never leaves the notification panel stating that a non-verizon sim card is inserted.
I do not have experience with this device, but I imagine they will do the same thing. @[email protected]
That would annoy me. Thanks if anybody can let me know thanks.

One thing i noticed it would not check for system updates unless I was on wifi.. if i was on ATT it gave some sort of authentication error when i checked for updates..was worried but then tested under wifi and it had no issue.. I do get a "not Verizon sim " warning that seems to be caused by an app called "Setup Wizard" , which i force stopped and the warning went away... (until reboot of course)
Was 729 $ , I want to replace my ipad pro on ATT with this, I just wonder what other issues I may encounter later using a Verizon tablet on ATT. I wonder would it be better just to leave it on Verizon and pay for both Verizon and Att data plans.. Verizon coverage at my house is horrible so I would rather not switch my cell phone over from att, but the tab would be on wifi at home so......

Took around town with me yesterday and tested a few times, never got over 2 or 3 Mbps on ATT , but testing with the Verizon sim I got 40Mbps ish but that was at the Verizon store it self... I dont know much about bands or even signal strength etc... currently LTE Discovery shows me on HSPA+ -83.0 dBm and my speed test was 1.97 Mbps Down 0.28 Up .
Was going to bring it into the AT&T store today and check again.

Hey whats up! Surprised not more people talking about the release. Samsung is selling the Verizon LTE version. Can I buy this version now and use it with Criketwireless (they use att network) or other? Or we don't know yet? I am not sure how all that works. Thanks

I bought the Verizon model and plugged in my T-Mobile sim card and it worked straight away.
On a side note, I went straight to the APN section expecting to have to manually enter my T-Mobile APN and was pleasantly surprised to see it was already in there along with: Consumer Cellular, Family Mobile, LYCA, MetroPCS, Multibrand, Project Fi, Red Pocket, Republic, Ting, Tracfone, Ulta, Vodafone & Walmart.
So I would guess it has all of the cellular radio frequencies onboard.

Thanks! Well... Verizon store had one here but no keyboard case... So I found I couldn't get the half off deal if one doesn't check out both units at the same time. So I went to best buy for wifi... Got a grey version. Like it so far.... Screen is great for movies, maybe wish was a bit more snappy to navigate around like i can with my s7 edge lol... But that may an illusion as the screen is bigger on s4 taking longer to reach around the screen with hands. Still less tiring than ipad for me with all the hand sweeps when busy.
Also little disappointed in multitasking.. Wish was a floating app u can sweep from the side over an active app pair so u can easily reference 3 apps fast.. Can kinda do that on ipad i think.. Ill figure it out! And many apps i use cant multitask pair which annoying not samsung fought I guess. Still worth it

What kind of speeds are you getting with it on T-Mobile? Are you getting good LTE speeds? I want to get one, but am on T-Mobile (and not switching). Sprint launched their version today, but am I not confident T-Mobile will get one. There was only one CNET article that stated T-Mobile would get it.
Thanks!

I live in a bad spot for speed testing, at my house I get around 10 Mbps up/down. I just drove up the street a mile or so and checked there and got ~30 Mbps up/down. As I roam around tomorrow I'll do some additional speed tests and see how it performs.
Update: I ran a few speed tests this morning, I was seeing download speeds up to 75 Mbps, and Uploads up to 30 Mbps on the T-Mobile sim.

I wouldn't even consider buying a verizon version when the Korean model has LTE, 6gb ram, 256gb storage, phone capability, and is world unlocked with no bloatware. I bought one and it's the best thing since sliced bread! ebay is selling them like hot cakes. Be careful to only get the non cell provider version, you don't want korean bloatware either. It exists! https://www.samsung.com/sec/tablets/galaxy-tabs4-t835/SM-T835NZKNKOO/

Hey GradyNYC!
I had initially wanted a 256GB LTE version until I saw that Verizon only had 64GB. I didn't realize they existed. Would you mind letting me know who you ordered from and how much customs duty you paid?
Thanks!

It's about a grand. They are going for $960 or so, then shipping. If you figure getting 64G LTE for About $750 in the US and the 256G WiFi version is $100 more than the 64G WiFI version, then you come to $850. The Korean versions have 6G RAM, so really, the price difference isn't out of the realm of reality. It is pricey to begin with. I'm figuring the added costs might be offset for me by the increased internal storage and memory benefits.

I tried the s4 64gb wifi version for 2 weeks and I had minor performance complaints and I had to weigh in if I was being too picky or not. I haven't had a tablet in years and kind of expected it to respond super snappy like my s7 edge. It doesn't ! Example, you don't have issues with this website even on the s4 with the menus and such? I think there is a small delay as the s4 needs time to load? sometimes? compared. I also sense s4 doesn't respond to super touch sensitivity compared to a cell phone?
I'd like a review between the 4 and 6gb model.

It does not have any dial pad. I think you're asking if it has the voice radios to use like a regular cellphone. I would guess NO as I've never seen that on a US model since the original Galaxy Tab (7inch), and that one required root and updated modem drivers to work.
For international. I've not seen it since the Tab S2. (Though the post above mentions that the Korean version does, pictures do not have earpiece speaker though)
As for bloatware, it is pretty light on bloat. Honestly, more Samsung bloat than Verizon bloat. I didn't csc, but I did promptly disable the MyVerizon app, Verizon security & privacy, samsung email & cloud, google gmail (I use google inbox).
I have never had the 4gb version, only the 6gb version. I do however have the note9 and the 6gb version tablet. They are at the very least equal in speed. I love the tablet and see no lag whatsoever. If I knew what i know now, I would have only bought the tablet. There are practical applications for the phone only; like size, but phone calls are crisp (tmobile) on the tablet. I have not taken it out of the keyboard case since day one. I have a pretty powerful windows computer with 16gb of ram and it has not been getting any use since I took this tablet out of the box. Everyone in my house is trying to get their hands on it. I bought a bluetooth mouse. It is a computer now, and a very fast one. If i hadn't turned in my note5 and tied to 2 years of credits. I would sell the note 9.
